New Devil
Chapter 2:
Disclaimer- Even though I'd like to, I don't own Inuyasha.
Ok so nobody gets confused I'll explain some parts.
North- Are where Gargoyles roam and where Shippo is at the moment
East- Are where trolls roam and where Inuyasha is for the time
South- Dragon's roam and where Kagome has fallen
West- is where the Devil's castle sits
-WEST-
A woman sat on a throne made of bones, only her red and black dress was visible as her face was covered by a black veil. She raised a bony hand and pointed to the doors in front of her.
"Honoo!" she ordered in an exhausted voice (Honoo means flame) the doors opened and a woman, with long red hair and solid black eyes walked in. She wore a red outfit (this is kind of hard to explain. Ok, one sleeve of the outfit is long while the other stops above her chest. One side of the leg pant in long the other is short. Ok not so hard I guess but still…)
"Mistress" the woman bowed
"Otani" (Otani means hollow) the woman with short wavy black hair came forth and bowed.
"Otani has failed. She brought the chosen one here but lost her, now the chosen one is somewhere in the North, East, or South. You, Honoo, shall take Otani's place and retrieve the chosen one."
"Yes." The red haired woman, Honoo, stood straight and smirked at the black haired woman, Otani. Otani glared back at her until her attention was shot
"Otani!" the black haired woman looked back to the mistress
"For your failure you are sentenced to one month in bottle" Otani's face fell but she stood and walked, with two guards behind her, into another room. A scream was heard and then silence fell once again.

Inuyasha sat down and cursed, he looked up to see the sun still shining bright down onto the forest.
"How in hell, it should be midnight by now! I'm so tired but with all this damned light I can't sleep!" Inuyasha slumped back onto what he thought was a tree, until it growled. He looked up to see a bear? No, it was big and hairy but its face had green skin with small horns on the side of its mouth.
"What the hell!" Inuyasha jumped up and saw another one of the creatures and then another! Three of them! Inuyasha looked around and saw an opening between the trees he turned and ran as fast as he could.
"Fuck!" he thought he was tripping and closed his eyes but his face never hit the ground. He opened his eyes and saw he was still running!
He looked behind him and saw the things were gone. He finally slowed down to a halt, luckily before he fell off into a lake.
'I'm thirsty but what if it's toxic or something?' he shrugged and put his hand in but… his hand was a paw? He looked into the water and saw white ears white fur, he was a dog?
'HOLY--' before he finished his thoughts he heard wood snap and turned to see those things again. He ran to the side and under the legs of one and past another.
'What the hell is going on?' the thought to himself frantically
---
"So in every direction there is a different creature. And I'm in the south with dragons. So this really is the supposed hell?" Kagome held her head, confused.
"Yes, but hell and heaven are not where spirits go when they die. It all depends, not if you were a good or bad person, but who you are. Hell and heaven are just worlds, but if you die… here's an easy example. Say you killed someone and then you die. You'll be sent to the gates of worlds and I don't exactly know what happens then but the gate keeper decides where you go. If you're sent to earth you are born into a new body and life. If you're sent to hell or heaven you have a soul purpose to keep living. If you are sent to a certain element it is because you were chosen to be a God." Sango explained
"Every 6 million years a new Devil is chosen for Hell and every 7 million a new Lord for heaven. There will be a new Devil for hell soon for it has been 6 million years, since last night. It's strange you were brought here at this time, I wonder if you're a sacrifice…?" Sango pondered, pushing back her hair.
"Or maybe she is the new mistress" Kohaku came out as he finally awoke from sleep, "How else could you explain why the dragon obeyed her?"
"There's no way, Kagome is nothing like a devil she couldn't be… right?" Sango looked at Kagome
"Don't ask me I have no clue. I can't be a devil anyway I don't know how to be evil"
"Not all devils are evil… then again… I've never known a good devil but still."
"I don't want to be a devil though!" Kagome disagreed with the slight accusation
"Don't worry Kagome; we'll help you find your way back home. It was probably a coincidence that the dragon let me go when you yelled. Something could have called it. Either way we should go just in case it comes back to finish the 3 of us. Here Kagome take this" Sango handed Kagome a sword but when she lifted it, it fell to the ground.
"Maybe that's a little too heavy for you"
"This sword isn't" Kagome held up the old sword from the other day
"It's too old"
"I wonder what the dragon came to our village for" Kohaku thought aloud
"What do you mean, wasn't it just hungry?" Kagome asked
"No, Dragon's don't eat humans; they only eat weaker demons or dragons. They usually come around human villages for powerful objects. But there are no objects of any power around here"
"We don't know that for certain sister" Kohaku pointed out
"Hmm" Sango sat back down to think

Shippo poked his head from the cave and saw the gargoyle was gone. Over the night it had stayed in the trees so Totosai and he stayed in the cave.
"So I'm in the north. And that warp thing was a dimension hole through worlds?" Shippo went through the facts given to him.
"Yes, each color represents a different dimension black for hell white for heaven and then there are elemental colors. If your friends were also pulled into this world but let go of each other there's no telling where they are"
"Maybe I hit my head or maybe Inuyasha has hit me hard enough to knock me out?" Shippo pinched himself and winced "Maybe not"
"I would help ya kid but…" Totosai looked out of the cave in fear "I ain't so young anymore"
"Can you tell me where the trains are or something?"
"No trains here, you can only find those in the west. No one but demons are in the west, that's where the Devil lives!" Totosai shriveled back in fear
"So is there a God for heaven too?"
"Every 7 million years yes, for the last 21 million years there have been goddesses. Ooh those goddesses may have tempers but they are so beautiful" Totosai seemed to daze off and Shippo turned to walk out of the cave.
"I think I can be of help" an odd voice pronounced. Shippo turned around to see a short almost midget sized old man with a pointy nose and large eyes.
"Where did you come from?"
"From there of course" the man pointed to another part of the cave and Shippo sweat dropped
"How can you help me?"
"I might know where your friends are"
"How?"
"I have my ways" the man looked at his nails and his face fell (their dirty as hell)
"Well where are they then?"
"Matters"
"On what?"
"How much you'll pay me"
"Grrr!" Shippo hit the man and a large bump formed
"Fine, fine. I hear a stranger has been traveling with two dragon hunters towards the east"
"Ok come on" Shippo dragged the old man out of the cave with him
"What! I'm not going!"
"Yes you are I'm too young to know which is east"
"I'm going to die, help me Totosai!"
"Good luck Myouga!" Totosai waved from the cave

Inuyasha hid behind a boulder and took a breath. He looked at his hands and sighed in relief.
"My hands! Oh I must've been having a nightmare" he looked around the boulder and saw the large monsters and hid. "Maybe not. Holy hell where am I?" he panicked
(Ok I'm gonna move this along)
Inuyasha saw an opening out of the forest, he walked faster and saw that it was darker at the opening he got out from the forest into a field and it was dark. The full moon shone down on him and he felt a small tingle. He looked at his…
"Paws! Damn it!" he looked back at the forest where it looked like daytime but out here it was nighttime.
He sniffed the air and could smell everything as if it were right under his nose he could hear things so quiet, like a mouse, or even a beetle in the grass. He listened and heard a faint scream that sounded like Kagome's scream when they were being pulled into the black hole.
Inuyasha started running as fast as he could, his heart beating out of his chest. He looked around and could hear he was getting closer until he was back in the forest and spotted a black haired woman fighting one of the troll things.
He looked further and saw a boy kneeling on the ground near a limp body.
'Kagome!' was all he thought as he ran to the body; he pushed the boy aside and looked at Kagome.
"Inuyasha? Oh I'm glad you're ok" Kagome sat up
"Me? What about you? Hey my hands…"
"You're hands are you ok did you get hurt?" Kagome checked Inuyasha's now normal hands.
"I'm fine Kagome"
"Oh Inuyasha this is Kohaku and that's Sango" Kagome smiled and stood up
"Why did you scream Kagome?" Inuyasha cut her off
"Oh" Kagome blushed "I tripped and saw a bug" Inuyasha sweat dropped and crossed his arms
"A bug! I thought you got attacked by one of those!" Inuyasha pointed to the now dead monsters
"The trolls, no, Sango kindly took care of them" Kagome smiled at her new found friend.
"Shippo's not with you?" Kagome asked looking around
"No, I lost hold of him and he must've ended up somewhere else"
"I hope he's ok" Kagome furrowed her brows then put on a brave face "We'll just have to keep looking for him"

"So tired…" Myouga slumped to the ground
"Come on Myouga it can't be that much farther"
"But it's so hot and all of these mountains are blocking the sun and… mountains… hot… oh no!" Myouga panicked
"What?"
"I may have directed us to… the west"
"WHAT!"
"Hey you two, lost?" a sly voice interrupted and the two looked to see a man with long black hair in a pony tail. He wore a band around his head and an odd brown kimono-like-outfit, a tail swung from his lower back side and two fangs were revealed when he smiled.
"Is it Halloween here?" Shippo looked at the man and Myouga sweat dropped
"That my boy… is a wolf demon"
"A demon!"
"Heh, heh and my friends here are a little hungry" a pack of wolves came out from behind rocks and dead tree trunks, growling.
"Eh…!" Myouga jumped into Shippo's arms.
"Koga!" they looked to see a woman, with red pigtails and the same brown outfit with her own tail, running towards them.
"Uh oh" the demon backed up and the girl glared at him with bright green eyes
"Koga! Get back here!" the girl ran towards the demon as he tried to run but she grabbed his collar and yanked him to the ground.
"You try that ever again and I'll kill you. Now bring those two back to the castle. The mistress will deal with them" she ordered letting him go
The demon, Koga let out a sigh in defeat and his wolves surrounded Myouga and Shippo as they went to the castle.

Kagome yawned and Inuyasha stopped, causing her to bump into him.
"Inuyasha?"
"Get on my back" he ordered kneeling down
"What?"
"I'll carry you, get on my back"
"Oh no I'm fine" she shook her head
"You're tired now get on" he looked at her and she hesitated, Inuyasha grabbed her and put her on his back easily, as if she was light as paper.
"Thank you Inuyasha…" Kagome quickly dozed off and Inuyasha went down a little
'Jeez she's heavy when she's asleep'
"You're name means dog" Kohaku commented as they walked
"Ya, what of it"
"Are you a dog demon?"
"What? No!"
"Be quiet you two, I hear something" Sango ordered, coming to a stop
"So do I…" Inuyasha looked around, alarmed, as they all stopped. They were out of the forest but it wasn't too dark yet. (Oh ya that forest was called Hikari trees hikari means light).
Sounds of something running on dried leaves filled the air, it grew quicker and closer. It became hotter as a red form closed in on them. Sango and Kohaku pulled out swords and readied themselves. The form came closer then disappeared, it was silent. They turned to the sound of giggles, there stood a woman with long red hair; she wore an odd cut red outfit and had solid black eyes.
"Who are you?" Sango ordered
"Hmm so which is it?" the girl looked at all four of them not sure of something.
"I said who are you?"
"Touchy, touchy perhaps you are the one? Allow me to introduce myself. I am Honoo" she put her hand out and played with a ball of fire
"A fire demon" Sango growled
"Smart one" Honoo smiled wickedly and threw the ball at them. Sango put up her sword to try and block the ball but it just stopped in mid-air. Sango lowered the sword to the side and the ball sprouted like a bomb and covered all four of them in a sphere.
"It's too hot" Kohaku kneeled down
"Kohaku don't let in, it's not the heat she's…" Sango limped to the ground and Inuyasha winced trying to stay awake.
"Come on little boy, maybe you're the one, you seem strong, and cute too" Honoo winked and touched the sphere, Inuyasha fell to the grown as if pushed down and everyone was asleep. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Honoo.
'Don't hurt them' Kagome thought and passed out. Honoo stepped back as she heard in her mind 'Don't hurt them'
"Which one of them said that? It was a soft voice, one of the girls? Oh well I'll let the mistress handle it" Honoo flicked her wrist and her and the sphere disappeared with the 4.

Shippo opened his eyes to find himself in a cage, he looked around and saw Myouga, Inuyasha, a black haired girl, and a boy all in separate cages. Only the boy and girl were awake but Inuyasha was starting to wake now too. Shippo looked around hoping to find Kagome luckily he didn't see her locked up but then fear passed through him as he imagined her being tortured.
"Inuyasha! Where's Kagome?"
"Huh? I don't know. Damn it my head hurts" Inuyasha cursed, rubbing his head
"The guards took her to the mistress" Kohaku said and Shippo shivered at how blank the boy's face looked
"The mistress oh no! She's sure to die!" Myouga began to panic again "We're all going to die! You must all be bandits! Oh no, oh no!"
"Shut up!" Shippo threw his shoe at Myouga and he fell over.
"There has to be some way to get out of these cages… Ow!" Inuyasha touched the bar and jumped back
"It's useless unless you're a fire demon. The cages are hot stone" Sango informed him, a bit late.
"Damn it to hell!"

Kagome opened her eyes thinking she'd feel the cold floor but instead felt a soft fabric and heard the crackle of fire. She sat up cautiously and looked around the room. She got up and saw a mirror; she looked at herself to see she was now wearing a long red silky dress with the sleeves off the shoulders. Her hair had been pulled back into a loose bun with a long strand over her shoulder and under a choker necklace.
"I see you've woken up"
She turned around to see a tall man with long black hair that was wavy at the edge. He had blue eye shadow and pale skin; he wore a white robe that fell off the shoulders to reveal his pale skin and the color of his eyes were a dark red
"Who are you? Where am I? Where are my friends?" Kagome backed away from him
"Calm down they are not hurt. You are home my queen" the man smiled gently
"Huh? Queen?"
"You are the chosen one, the new Devil of Hell" the man bowed
"My name is Naraku, I am your betrothed" he bowed
I kind of rushed this chapter to just explain a little and get them to the castle but I hope you still liked it. Please review and I'll start the next chapter right away because for some odd reason even I'm interested in this and don't know what's exactly gonna happen yet hee, hee .
