--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the beast ran with all its might towards inuyasha and kagome. luckily they both jumped apart at the right moment so that the beast ran head first into a wall. the beast shrieked in pain and the impact but then quickly turned around for another charge.

" umm miroku! any ideas? " inuyasha said as he dodged yet another of the beast's charges.
" how should i know! i've never seen a beast of this staure before! " miroku yelled back.
" well we have to do something! " sango yelled as she threw her giant boomerang.
the boomerang flew and sliced a deep gash in the beast's back. it shrieked in pain as blood poured from the gash.
the beast turned towards sango and miroku.

its black eyes were set on sango.

RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAARRRRRRR

it shrieked and ran towards sango and miroku. faster than it ran towards inuyasha and kagome. before the could react,the beast swung one of its arms and hit both miroku and sango in the stomachs and into a wall. they both screamed in pain and fell to the floor.
" MIROKU! SANGO! " kagome yelled.

the beast turned to see kagome. it licked its lips.

inuyasha's eyes widened.

' no... '

the beast roared and ran towards kagome at full speed.

but kagome didn't flinch or make an exression. she simply took out her shotgun from her back holster and aimed it straight towards the beast's head.

" you really think im going down that easily? " kagome said with a laugh as she pulled the trigger.

BAM!

the beast screamed as its hands reached for it's head. blood gushed out and tainted the church floor. the beast fell back onto several pews and didn't move.

inuyasha ran over to kagome and said, " are you ok? .
kagome just smiled and smacked him lightly on the shoulder.

" it's not over yet. " kagome said as she looked past inuyasha.

inuyasha turned to look as the arms of the beast started to move. it was trying to get up. " these things don't know when to give up. " inuyasha said with a sigh. inuyasha took out his sword and went over to the monster. he jumped high into the air and fell with the sword vertical to the beast's heart.

SLICE RROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRR

and that's all.

inuyasha and kagome then walked towards miroku and sango who were lying on the floor and seemed to be unconcious.
miroku gave a groan and sat up. " my back. oh my gosh my back. " miroku said with a whine. sango also gave a groan and sat up.
" did we get it? " sango asked. " we sure did. " kagome said making a peace sign with her fingers. sango's eye widened.

SMACK!

" you moron! we're in a death situation and all you can think bout is grabbing my ass? sango yelled angrily at miroku.
" sorry what can i say my dear sango my hand has a mind of its own sometimes. " miroku said slyly.

CLAP. Clap. Clap.

" very well done hunters. "

they all turned to see a mysterious figure at the steeple of the church. he or she was hooded and cloaked and their face was shrowded in darkness.

" who are you? " inuyasha as he crossed his arms over his chest. that should be the least of your worries dog boy. inuyasha humphed at the comment. the truth is that you are all immersed in hell right now. and that guardian you killed is only the icing on the cake.
you haven't even reached the bulk of it. this goes deeper than naraku and his powers. he didn't just call the darkness, he did much more than that.
the gate to hell has indeed been opened upon this earth. every poor soul in this city has indeed been taking by these spirits. they all contain anger,
fury, and hatred. and who else is the big man but naraku himself? he is indeed well and alive. i'm very sure he knows you are here already. you pitiful hunters seem to be scared. but what a rush it is to be scared right? the adrenaline it gives and the rush you feel when your in battle, there is nothing like it.
i have found a passage to the jail right beneath this very steeple. my apologies that it's not exactly the easiest tunnel to blast yourselves through. " the person in black said in a low yet haunting tone.

and as if it was their imagination, the person was gone.

" uh guys? what in the world was that? " inuyasha asked as if not believing what had happened.
" i have no idea. " miroku said as he stared at the spot where the person had once stood.

' this goes deeper than naraku and his powers... he didn't just call the darkness... he opened the gate to hell... '

those words rang in the heads of the hunters.

what if they were right? was the gate really opened?

" well are we gonna go to the jail or what? " sango said as she got up and dusted herself.
" you sure your up for it? " kagome asked as she noticed that sango flinched as she rubbed her back. " course i am up for it. lets kick some ass. " sango said with a smile.

they all walked slowly towards the steeple.
inuyasha made sure his gulp was low so that kagome and the other couldn't hear it.
inuasya pushed the steeple to find out the person was right in there being a passage.
they all looked at eachother and nodded.

down they went.

------------------------------------------------------

" well this isn't that bad. i mean it's only a dark and dreary tunnel. " kagome said as she looked around.
inuyasha smiled at kagome. " you sure your not scared? " inuyasha said with goo goo eyes. " tch! yeah right! " kagome said as she turned her head from inuyasha hoping that he didn't see the faint red on her cheeks. " sshh! hold it lovebirds. i feel something coming. "
miroku said.

squeek. squeek. squeek.

" oh shit. " they all said in unison.

six rats came towards them. not an ordinary rats that you would see normally. these were rats that had rooten flesh. tail bones exposed.
their saliva was like acid. their bodies humungous. and their eyes flamed with fury and hatred.

" i think we'll need bigger mouse traps. " kagome said with a gulp.

inuyasha took out his desert eagle and began to shoot.

BAM!

one of the rats fell dead, its body fluids spilled and eroded some of the floor. " watch out for their fluids! " inuyasha yelled as they all charged toward the rats.

kagome ran and did a front flip and landed behind a rat and shot the rat in the back. the rat screamed and fell. miroku dodged the rat as the rat tried to bite his leg, he then threw a prayer card at the rat, the rat screamed in pain and then was engulfed in flames.

a rat came behind of inuyasha and whn inuyasha turned around the rat was on top of him. inuyasha held the rat at bay with his arm.
the rat drooled on inuyasha's arm and he screamed. the acid burned his skin and his wound was bleeding profusely.
sango threw her boomerang and the boomerang hit the rat and pinned it to a wall. she then took out her sword and sliced the last rat that tried to bit her leg.

the gang ran towards inuyasha and looked at his wound.

" his bleeding is starting to slow down, he'll be fine. " sango said as she looked at inuyasha arm. " does inuyasha need a spongebob bandaid? " miroku said with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

PUNCH!

" i swear i don't deserve this. " miroku said with tears as a bump appeared on his head.
kagome took out a gauge and began to wrap it around inuyasha's wound. inuyasha only watched kagome's face as she did her work.
kagome knew he was watching her and tried to seem passive. but she couldn't help the small tinge of red in her face.

inuyasha saw this and smiled.

sango and miroku sat nearby and watched.
" that is too cute. " sango said with a smile. she all of the sudden felt something grab her behind.
" you sure are right sango. " miroku said with a smirk.

SLAP!

that is all! til next time!
