CHAPTER 6 REVENGE

"Who is it?" Inuyasha asked trying to look over his brother's shoulder.

"Shh!" Sesshoumaru ordered waving his brother off. "If you wanna find out you have to be quiet."

Inuyasha still hated taking orders from his brother but once again he did so. After all he was very curious about who Sesshy saw on the other side of the door. Leaning in close he listened carefully.

He was surprised at hearing the voice he heard.

"I am almost finished with my revenge," the voice of Naraku cackled. "Just one more prank and they'll wish they had invited me! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Inuyasha looked at Seshomaru. "Kagome didn't invite him?" he asked.

His brother shook his head. "No," he replied. "You know nobody likes him so she didn't invite him."

"Bummer."

"Well now we know who our 'ghosts' are," Sesshy remarked closing the door quietly.

"So what should we do?" Inuyasha asked looking ready to wring Naraku's neck.

Sesshomaru shook his head. "I don't know," he admitted. "I think we'd better find Kikyo and the others. Maybe they can help us out." He grabbed his brother's arm. "Let's go."

Koga and Kanna found the tree where Ayame and Kagura were hiding in a few minutes after the scare with the grave. As the girl's climbed down Kagura asked. "Where have you been? We've been waiting here for hours."

"I uh couldn't remember which tree you guys were in," he said sheepishly.

"Didn't remember or didn't want to remember?" Ayame demanded, glaring at him.

"Hey, I couldn't remember," he said holding up his hands. "Just ask Kanna."

The two girls looked at the white haired girl. She nodded. "It is true," she replied.

"Oh, okay then," Ayame said hugging Koga. "I was so worried!"

"I'm fine," he told her.

She let him got and looked at him. "I'm so glad!" then she kissed him.

"Ahem," Kagura said clearing her throat. "I hate to interrupt this little Moment but I think we'd better head back inside and see how well the others did at finding Rin and Kagome."

"Right," the others agreed nodding.

They headed inside.

As Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha exited the basement they ran into Sango, Miroku, Kikyo, Hojo, and Kagome and Rin who they had finally caught up to.

"What are you doing in the basement?" Sango asked, panting loudly. "I thought you were going to stay in the ballroom."

"We had a little accident," Sesshy said looking at Inuyasha ("Don't look at me!" Inuyasha shouted) "And we ended up in the basement.

"Did you go into the livingroom?" Kagome demanded. "I told you not to go in there. There's a hole in the floor."

"We know. Anyway," Sesshoumaru went on. "While we were down there we found out something."

"What?" Kikyo asked.

Sesshoumaru looked around. "I think we'd better wait until everyone is in the ballroom."

"Why?" Miroku asked. "What is it?"

"It has something to do with the strange things that have been happening here," Sesshy replied. "And who is to blame."

"So it was Naraku who was causing all this stuff?" Koga asked his voice full of anger. "Why that no good-"

"So what should we do now?" Onigumo asked before Koga could go into a long monolouge.

"I think we should get back at him," Sango said. "He should not be allowed to get away with scaring us like that."

"I agree," Kikyo sand nodding. "That would be like giving him what he wants."

"So what should we do?" Yura, the chief preppy wanted to know.

"I have an idea," Miroku said.

"What?" everyone else wanted to know.

Miroku looked at Kikyo. "You look a lot like the woman in the picture, Kik," he said. "Would you mind playing ghost for awhile?"

"Not at all," Kikyo said. "I can't wait to get back at him for ruining our party."

"Then it's all settled," Sesshoumaru said. "Let's get everything ready."

Naraku headed to the second floor of the house, the plans for his new prank in his arms. "Once they run into my last prank they'll wish they had invited me! Mwaahahahah!" he cackled to himself.

Just then he heard a strange sound. He looked over his shoulder. "Hello?" he said. "Who is there?" When he heard nothing he shrugged and continued walking. What he didn't realize was that in one of the rooms Miroku, Sango, Sesshoumaru, and Kikyo were getting ready for their own prank. Kikyo had gotten out of her gothic demon costume and was now wearing a bright flowery kimono almost exactly like the one the woman in the portrade wore.

"Do you think this will work?" she asked them as Sango took the girl's hair down.

"I hope so," Sesshoumaru said handing her a paper fan. "You look a lot like the woman in the picture. Are you sure you're not related to her somehow?"

"Possitive," Kikyo said. "But I could be wrong. I'd have to ask my Aunt."

Miroku peeked out into the hall. He'd been spying on Naraku. "Okay," he said looking at them. "He's gone. I think we'd better do this now."

"Good luck," Sango said as Kikyo headed out of the room.

"I'll need it," she told them.

Naraku continued down the hall but he hadn't gotten very far when the hallway suddenly grew very cold and filled with smoke (Thanks to Shippo). Dropping the items in startlement he looked around himself. Somehow he got the feeling that he wasn't the only one in the hall. In fact; he had the worst feeling that he wasn't.

"Hello," he said again. "Inuyasha? Are you there?"

No answer.

Naraku was about to shrug the whole thing off when suddenly he heard a wailing sound.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" a haunting voice wailed. "OOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Suddenly through the fog a figure emerged. It looked like a woman in a flowered kimono. The woman looked almost normal except for the fact that she had deathly pale skin and strange glowing like eyes. She was walking right for him and wailing loudly.

"Narakuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she wailed. "You dare disturb my reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest?"

"Y.. your rest?" he stammered.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeessss! Myyyyyyy Reeeeeeeeeeeeest!" she replied. "Nooooooooowwwwwwwww Youuuuuuu Willlllllll Haaaaaaaave to deaaaaaaaal wiiiiiiith myyyyyyyyyy childreeeeeeeeeeeeeen!"

"Ch...children?"

"Yeeeeeeeeeees!" Suddenly the woman raised her hands and three more ghostly figures flew out of the smoke.

These "children" looked like they had pumpkin heads full of fire. They were laughing too and coming right for him.

Naraku, who was a coward at heart, didn't run or scream. Instead he fell to the floor on a bowing position and whimpered. "Please don't hurt me!'

And all of a sudden he heard laughing. "HWAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" and that laughter sounded very familiar.

"Huh?" he said looking up.

What he saw now weren't ghosts. It was just Kikyo, Inuyasha, Koga, Kagome, and Ayame all standing around laughing and holding white sheets and Jack-O-Lanturns.

"How do you like being pranked?" Inuyasha asked him.

"That's not very nice," Naraku shot at them.

"Well you weren't nice either," Kagome said. "Kanna told us you were mad at us for not inviting you. If you wanted to be invited so bad you should have said something instead of trying to scare us. That wasn't very nice."

"I wouldn't have been invited anyway," he told them. "You all don't like me."

"We don't like Onigumo very much either but we invited him," Kikyo said. "Well now that you're here you should say you're sorry to everyone and maybe we'll let you stay. Okay?"

Naraku had no other choice. He really wanted to join the party. He nodded. "Okay."

So in the end Naraku apoligized to everyone and turned the electricity back on. Though he admitted to the pranks he denied making the picture bleed. Since nobody wanted to do anymore "ghost hunting" they all went back to the party. Naraku won first prize in the costume contest because he'd been the one dressed as the Priestess Ghost in the shrine and it had looked very convincing. After that the party went into full swing and within an hour the whole ordeal was forgotten.

THE END

A/N

Sorry this fic ends so quickly. I didn't have anymore ideas for it. I hope it was okay anyway.
