Chapter 7:

What was Found

"What the hell is this place?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome could not answer as she gaped at the contentsof the room.

There were jars and containers of strange liquids and powders, clearly not for medicinal uses. Dust covered the strange jarsbut were no spider-webs. There were candles lit all over the room; as if someone had been expecting them.

"How long do you think these candles have been lit?" Inuyasha whispered. Kagome whispered back, "I don't know. Maybe they were just lit." A chill went up Inuyasha's spine as he took in her words.

"Let's see if there are any other rooms away from here." Inuyasha followed after Kagome silently, wishing that he too could float.

'Why are you whispering?' he thought to himself. There wasn't any real reason that they were. Just the spooky prescence that lingered upon the room. He gripped tightly onto the Tetsusaiga, his pathetic weapon. The Tetsusaiga began to shake in his hands.

"Shh!" Kagome put a finger to her lips as she looked back at Inuyasha. He tried to steady the sword, but it continued to rattling. Suddenly, it stopped. Inuyasha sighed out with relief. Before he could blink, something attached itself around his neck.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked in a normal tone. Kagome's eyes widened as she looked around with frightened eyes.

Around Inuyasha's neck was some sort of necklace. The beads were smoothly round and polished, and the other beads looked as though they were actually fangs. He tried to pull it off, but failed miserably. Inuyasha looked at Kagome frantically.

"Just keep it on," she told him. He nodded, although he didn't want to keep a necklace that just magically appeared around his neck. And it was a necklace for christ's sake! What kind of man wore a necklace?

After many failed attempts, he finally submitted the the beads. They were light and weightless; they barely made any noise when he moved. Kagome had told him that it had looked stylish on him. He wasn't sure whether she had been joking or not.

"Kagome," Inuyasha began, "what was this room?" Kagome stopped, looking around. She floated down to him and shook her head.

"I have no idea," she whispered back. "I've never seen this room in my entire life. We had medicinal doctor, but this wasn't his room." Inuyasha nodded to her response and tried to ignore the tingling sensations on his neck.

The two walked through the strange room, twisting around tables and chairs in an effort to reach the other end of the room. Inuyasha watched in fascination at the odd objects stored in the jars.

"Whoa!" Inuyasha took in a sharp intake of breath as he felt cold and sticky all over again. "Tell me before you stop!" He turned around to look back at Kagome. Her eyes were locked in front of her. Slowly, Inuyasha turned his head.

"It's a door." Kagome's voice was barely over a whisper. Inuyasha could hear his loud, beating heart very clearly. He wiped his hands on his pants and used his right hand to pull out the Tetsusaiga. His left hand shaking horribly, he reached for the door handle and pulled it open.

Darkness. Neither Kagome or Inuyasha could see ahead of them. Inuyasha jabbed his sword into the black room but only felt air. Kagome didn't dare enter, forgetting that she couldn't be harmed.

Lifting one foot ata time, Inuyasha slowly entered the room, brandishing the sword in front of him as his shield. Kagome followed after him slowly, wishing that she too had something to hold onto.

Kagome took in a sharp intake of breath as the room suddenly lit up. Candle's filled the room illuminating the contents. Kagome looked int front of her and couldn't speak. She began to squeak to get Inuyasha's attention. He didn't move. She extended her hand and pointed in front of her.

It was a body. Inuyasha stood rooted to the spot until Kagome stuck her hand through his back. This coldness jolted the movement of his feet and he began to walk up to it carefully. Inuyasha tried his best to peer through the dust covered cover. His icy cold hands went to remove the glass top.

"Is it yours?" whispered Inuyasha, his voice breaking badly. Kagome didn't answer and Inuyasha's eyes were glued to the body. The face was covered by a black, silk handkerchief. Inuyasha pulled it off and --

Inuyasha stumbled back a few feet when he saw the face. It was wrinkled and the eyes were closed. He held his stomach to stop himself from emptying it.

"Boo." The corpse's eyes opened and the shoulder length black raven hair turned long and gray. Instead of the dress that Kagome wore, the body now had on a dank black one. It floated up, it's feet facing the ground and the head right side up. Inuyasha heard Kagome gasp.

"It's you!" she exclaimed in a whisper. The old woman laughed.

"Fifty years did not taint you memory," she commented. "Though I don't like this look." She put her hands to her face and her face grew firmer and wrinkle free. Soon, she had the face of a young adult, or a girl in her late teens.

"Much better," she stated, her voice having changed as well. Inuyasha stepped back and held the Tetsusaiga in front of him.

"W-Who are you?" he asked, feigning bravery. In truth, he was scared shitless.

"I am Tsubaki," she introduced. "A sorceress of black magic."

"Wouldn't that make you a witch?" sneered Inuyasha. Tsubaki smirked.

"If that is what you call it then, yes. I am a witch." She extended her arm and a long, gnarled stick flew into her hands. "But you will regret that day that you called me that." Tsubaki pointed her staff at them and a black energy beam came out of it. Inuyasha closed his eyes tightly and waited for his life to end. Suddenly, he heard Tsubaki curse.

"What happened?" she asked. Inuyasha opened his eyes and found himself miraculously unharmed!

"What are you holding?" From her high distance, Tsubaki squinted her eyes before they widened. "The legendary Tetsusaiga. A demon sword. I know the perfect spell for that." She raised her staff above her head and began to chant.

"What?" Tsubaki opened her eyes and stared at Inuyasha with shock. His sword was pulsing.
