Velvet- Hey all, thanks for reviewing even with my serious lack of updatey goodness. Our school's gone and updated security, so in order not to get busted, I'm going to have to update from home MEANING that it will take me much longer to update etc. So all you can do is tell your friends about this fic and wait for me to update. Much Apologieness.
Chapter Ten: Slicing Through Time (part 2)
Kagome got to her feet and brushed herself off
"It's okay, I was running…" Kagome was saying before she looked up "…a bit too- SANGO!" And she was right it was indeed Sango
"Kagome? Is that you?" said Sango
"Yes! But wait, what am I doing here? I didn't come through the well…" Kagome was at a loss
"You didn't? But I didn't think there was another way through from your time to ours Kagome, and I'm nowhere near the well either" said Sango also very confused
"This is weird, what are you doing here anyway?" asked Kagome
"I'm out here doing some slaying for another village" explained Sango
"Oh" Kagome said. She began to walk away
"Kagome! Where are you going?" said Sango "Do you even know how far it is to walk back to the well from here?... you're not even heading the right w-"
"I'm not walking! It's not me I'm being… Controlled or something! Help Sango!" screamed Kagome as she walked faster away from Sango
"Kirara, get Miroku" said Sango. The two-tailed cat transformed and flew off
"Miroku? He's here too?" Kagome said surprised
"Yeah, he's… um… Helping me with…" Sango couldn't seem to get the words out as she followed Kagome. Kagome picked up her stuttering fragments of emotion and guessed what had happened
"You guys got together didn't you!" she said then giggled. Sango stayed silent and kept walking "You did! I knew it, it was always going to happen…"
"Sango!" shouted a familiar voice. Kirara landed with Miroku astride her "What's wrong, Kirara bid me to follow her and- Kagome!" Miroku fell off Kirara's back
"Hey Miroku!" said Kagome as her feet carried her further away
"Hello Kagome! What brings… or um…takes you from here?" said Miroku watching her retreating back with faint intrest.
"Stop me and maybe we can find out!" she said becoming annoyed "Besides… My feet hurt…"
"Very well, I will use one of my sutra charms to un cast the spell that appears to be upon you…" said Miroku jogging over to catch up. He walked alongside Kagome dodging various trees and shrubs that came their way as Kagome moved clumsily around them like it was some sort of odd game.
"Could you hurry up a little?" said a disgruntled Kagome who had- yet again- found her hair tangled in a branch "Ouch!" she gasped as it came free taking several strands of her black hair with it
"You can't rush magic…" muttered Miroku examining something in front of Kagome. He smiled and seized a piece of air, holding it like a string he took one of his sutras and wrapped it around something, then he let go and it hung there in the air.
"Invisible cord?" Kagome guessed
"Magic twine, someone wants you Kagome" aid Miroku. Sango and Kirara flew over head.
"Hey you guys!" said Sango looking ahead "We're heading for a huge castle, could that be the source of the magic twine?" asked Sango
"Possibly" said Miroku taking a long piece of rope from within his robes and tying it to the invisible one, he held on and leant back on his sandals. Kagome raised and eyebrow as if to say 'What the –bleep-'
"Miroku, what the hell are you doing?" Kagome asked
"Hitching a ride, hey, why not!" shrugged Miroku as he almost water-skied toward the castle
---(Line)---
"Castle, dead ahead guys, get ready we don't know what's going to happen here" said Sango to Kagome and Miroku who was still dirt-skiing next to Kagome.
Meanwhile inside the castle…
"Get ready, here she comes" said a woman's voice as the person speaking looked in to mirror held by a little girl. She was twirling a piece of leather around her finger, on the string there was a large diamond shaped jewel. It was a deep purple and had streaks of black running through it. The mirror showed Kagome walking along, then Miroku slid onscreen and the girl spoke
"She is not alone sister" said the girl
"Not to worry Kanna" said the woman indicating the girl "InuYasha will take care of them…"
"Eek!" screamed Kagome as suddenly she stopped walking and toppled over. Miroku's rope went slack and he toppled over too. Sango peered down
"What's going on you two?" she said taking Kirara down to them. Kagome pushed herself in to a sitting position and put a hand to her head
"…that hurt…" she murmured as Miroku sat up too and put a comforting arm around her for once not-in-a-lecherous way. She was glad for the support she felt quite light headed and her legs were like jelly.
"What happened?" said Sango dismounting from Kirara.
"The rope's gone" said Miroku waving a hand in front of him
"That would explain why we fell over" said Kagome stating the obvious. Hey! She wasn't feeling too good, couldn't be helped.
"Yes… It's not far to the castle now, we may as well walk" said Sango looking ahead through the trees where the castle indeed was. Kagome picked up her bow and quiver of arrows and walked shakily toward the castle with the others. Her sneakers were covered in small twigs and burs and other pieces of nature she noticed as she looked down at her clothes. Her black skirt had a few leaves attached to it as well.
"Great I'm a walking 4th grade science project…" she whispered to herself in a contemptuous voice
---(Line)---
"Hey ladies, there's the castle!" said Miroku waking the others from their walking stupor. They all looked up.
"…It's big" said Sango. She was right, the thing was fucking huge! And rather ornately decorated with various statues, courtyards and was complete with it's very own shrine.
"Yeah, pretty too" said Kagome. There was a whooshing noise behind them and someone spoke
"Glad you like it… It's the last thing you'll ever see"
Everyone whipped around and standing there was Kagura and Kanna. Kagura had an arm across the chest of a rather infuriated InuYasha. He was trying to move, but it appeared there was some sort of barrier holding him back. He did not have his Tetsuaiga. Kanna had the sword strapped to her back and was still holding her mirror
"Ka…gome!" InuYasha managed to choke out. Kagura threw him a vicious glance and he grunted in pain.
"InuYasha!" Kagome gasped making toward him.
"No" said Kagura throwing a hand in front of Kagome, a gust of wind hit her and threw her back on to Miroku
"Leave her!" growled InuYasha slowly turning his head toward Kagura. His anger was building up his power. It was only just as he turned his head that Kagome noticed there was a star shaped jewel on his forehead. It glimmered in the sunlight and was dark purple and had lines of black through it, much like the one hanging from Kagura's neck.
"Are you cross InuYasha? Does that mean you want to fight now?" she said with a wicked smile. Kagome saw something she had never seen on InuYasha's face before, a look of pure fear and terror. He was afraid of her? It didn't make sense
"What are you talking about bitch?" spat Kagome taking a threatening step forward with a glare in her eyes that could melt steel "Let InuYasha go"
"NO!" yelled InuYasha. Kagura cocked her head toward him
"If she wants you let go…" said Kagura softly with a grin "…We should obey her wishes… Kill them!"
InuYasha's body shook his eyes flashed red as if he were changing to a full demon form but then they went back to normal only his pupils were totally black and took up most of his eye. He looked like a zombie as Kanna handed him his sword and he moved forward towards Kagome.
"Kagome no!" shouted Sango. Kagome ran to him and threw her arms around him and held on tightly. He picked her up by the back of her shirt and threw her a several metres away. She landed roughly. She sat up just in time to see Sango exposed to InuYasha's sword. In one huge slice he had cut her across the chest. Blood sprayed the ground in pebble sized droplets as Sango fell backwards in slow motion and landed in the dirt with a soft thud.
"INUYASHA!" screamed Kagome "SIT BOY!" His head dipped toward the ground, but did not have the effect Kagome was hoping for. Instead he ran over to her and held his sword with two hands. He raised it above his head and brought it down swiftly upon her…

+Did You Even Give This A Title+
"Billy! Paper towels! Stat!" shouted Velvet. Billy bolted off to the kitchen to get some as Velvet picked up the keyboard inspecting the damage. Something crackled and sparks flew. Billy arrived back with the towels
"Got them!" he said triumphantly holding them aloft. Velvet snatched them and dabbed at the mess on the table.
Suddenly Billy's clumsy teddy paws bumped the monitor. A screwdriver fell down and on to the keyboard. There was a huge flash of light and the monitor became a bluish tunnel
"BILLY! What the hell did you do!" yelled Velvet. Papers and computer game manuals fluttered around them both as the tunnel had some sort of sucking force
"I guess accidents happen…And big whirly vortexes open in monitors" she said slowly. Billy nodded in agreement.
"Uh…" said Billy sliding forward and heading for the monitor "I think I'm being sucked- IIIIIINNNNN!" Billy was lifted off the floor and plunged headfirst in to the monitor, he went right in and began shrinking.
"BILLY!" Velvet screamed and made a grab for his leg as it disappeared through. The force of the tunnel dragged her in quickly. There was another flash of light and they both went spinning and twirling through the vortexy thing.
"What's happening Velvet?" shouted Billy as they spun out of control faster and faster. Velvet's eyes widened as she replied
"You think I would know! I think I'm gonna be sick…" She said just as the spinning stopped and they landed on a green grassy hill. Billy waddled over to her quickly.
"Are you okay?" he said as she retched. A multicoloured mass of pixel landed on the grass in front of them
"Urgh… no… OH MY RA!" said Velvet shocked. Billy's eyes widened too. Velvet had realized the grass wasn't moving and looked down the huge valley they seemed to be in… And saw the 'Start' button
+Where in Ra's name are Billy and Velvet? Will someone click the 'start' button? Are ants going to be attracted to the chocolatey mess on the keyboard! Find out next time+
