Shippo looked inside the portal that Naruto had just been pushed into. "HEY NARUTO!!! ARE YOU DOWN THERE?!?!" The little kitsune yelled.

No answer.

"On the bright side," Sango started. "It's a lot quieter."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Should we go in?" Inuyasha asked as he approached the portal.

Shikamaru hesitated before answering. "Maybe we should wait."

"For what?" Sasuke said impatiently.

Shikamaru sighed in annoyance. "You're starting to sound like Sora, what a drag..."

"And what's wrong with sounding like Sora?" Sora glared at Shikamaru.

"What isn't wrong with sounding like you?"

Sora's hands were tightened into fists as he walked towards Shikamaru.

"HEY!!!" Kagome yelled at the two. Both of the boys froze and looked at her. (A/N:Don't mess with Kagome when she's pissed!) "Now's not the time." She said.

"She's right." Namine said. "We shouldn't be fighting."

"Why do all boys have to be so hallow in their heads?" Sakura said.

Suddenly, a guy with orange hair and a huge sword raced past them yelling, "Get your ass back here so I can kill you!!!" (A/N:Get it? 'orange hair', 'hallow'?)

No one said anything. "Ignoring that..." Kakashi broke the silence, "What's the danger in going in? Naruto should be fine in there."

"Yeah, but-" Was all Shikamaru could say before being pushed in the portal by Sora.

"So, it's decided." Miroku said. "We all go in."

Everyone nodded.

"But what about her?" Shippo said pointing to Kairi.

"Why don't all the girls stay with Kairi while all the guys go look for the antidote?" Inuyasha said.

"THAT'S SO SEXIST INUYASHA!!!" Kagome yelled at the inu hanyou.

"So, the girls stay with Kairi, and the guys go look for the antidote." Sasuke said.

"That's genius Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said.

Everyone looked at her.

"What?" She said with a confused look.

"JUST STAY HERE!" Was all Inuyasha said as he jumped in the portal. Miroku, Sora, Shippo, Roxas, Sasuke, and Kakashi followed.

Kagome crossed her arms in anger. Namine patted her on the shoulder, as if that would calm her down.

"Hey, what's that?" Sakura and Sango said at the same time.

"What?" Namine looked in the direction the other two girls were looking. She stared in shock.

Kagome stood there in fear too. "What should we do?" She whispered.

"What can we do?" Sango answered.

"It's coming!" Namine managed to yell before complete darkness fell over them.
