Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha

And because I don't think I said it before I'm saying it now, Lunius and Lumius are mine:D

"I'm rather surprised you made it through my forest most give up when they see the wall," Lunius said nonchalantly as if it was a common occurrence.

"It will take a lot more then that to stop me!" shouted InuYasha as he charged at Lunius and swung the Tetsusaiga right through him, he waited for metal to meet flesh but it never came. "What the hell," InuYasha looked back to see that Lunius was several feet behind him not a scratch on him looking rather amused.

"My turn," growled Kouga sprinting full speed at the man but just as he was about to slash him to pieces he vanished and reappeared behind him like he had done with InuYasha.

"Of course," shouted Miroku to the confused demons, "He's darkness, darkness is an illusion, the real Lunius is somewhere else!"

"Very good Monk," the illusion with a smirked, "I don't know whether I should be impressed or shocked that you figured it out."

"If it were possible for me to wipe that smirk off your face I would," Miroku glared at the fake illusion, "But since you're too much of a coward I guess I'm going to have to wait." Miroku folded his arms across his chest and turned his head away from Lunius as if he was bored, no one mocked his intelligence. There was a small twitch in the corner of Lunius's eye but other then that there was no other indication that Miroku's statement had even made it to his ears.

"We don't have time for this!" bellowed InuYasha unsheathing the Tetsusaiga, "Wind Scar!" The wind scar went hurtling towards the illusion but it had the same effect as all the other attempts, Lunius just seemed to flicker and the attack went right through him. InuYasha's anger boiled deep within him, how dare he mock them, the coward.

Lunius's illusion smirk had returned and looked completely amused at the situation. "Well if you do have time to come in you should," he said pointing towards the dark stair case that led up to two large doors. "It is so seldom that I get visitors." After his last words his image seemed to swirl into itself and become smaller and smaller until there was nothing left.

"Couldn't imagine why," Sango spat, "Think he's related to Naraku in anyway?" She turned away from the spot where Lunius's illusion once was with frustration written all over her face, she was getting royally pissed off at these damn games that people had been playing with her emotions in the last little while.

Kouga looked down at his fists that he had finally unclenched, there were claw marks indented inside of them from the pressure he had applied out of frustration. The frustration of realization that he was so close to defeating the evil that plagued his love and yet so far out of reach, he still had to wait.

A large echoing creek was heard from behind them, the large wooden doors were opening slowly. The creek was enough to send shivers down their spines and hair to stand on end. Kouga's hands went to his ears and InuYasha flattened his ears to his head, as Sango and Miroku winced at the noise. Fog seemed to drift out of the doors once it was fully opened covering the steps like a blanket.

"Well that's not creepy at all," Miroku said with a forced grin, "Well shall we? InuYasha after you." Miroku bowed and let the hanyou by as the demon rolled his eyes at the monk as he walked by unsheathing his sword of fire separating the fog as he walked towards the steep stairs but then rejoined several feet after him. Sango followed him, her eyes on the dark doors which opened to a nightmare within.

Miroku starred up at the two going up the stairs, thanks to the fog you couldn't see their feet climbing; it just looked like they were floating towards the doors of hell. Then he felt an arm around his shoulder pulling towards the waterfall of fog. He looked over to see Kouga leading him up the stairs, with a smirk on his face, "Common monk, hell awaits." Miroku half smiled and continued up the stairs feeling loose stone beneath his feet.

They reached the door but nothing could be seen within its depths, InuYasha took a step within and was instantly covered in darkness the only thing that could be seen was the Tetsusaiga's glow. "InuYasha wait come back!" yelled Sango.

"Sango don't yell I'm right here," InuYasha said cringing as the ringing still went through his over sensitive ears.

"Sorry InuYasha," Sango apologized, "I just don't want us to get separated as we go in there because unlike you we don't have light emitting from our weapons."

"Good point!" Miroku beamed, "You can hold on to me as tightly as you want Sango, I shall keep you from any harm that may reside in this castle." He had a large grin on his face as well as a look of pure innocence unfortunately for him she knew better.

"I was thinking more on the lines of rope," she said taking a couple steps away from the lecher taking a lot of strength not to hit him across the side of the head.

InuYasha looked over to the side of the door, "What about vine?" he replied while walking towards it and pulling a rather large piece down.

"Not bad Mutt," Kouga stated as he took the vine from InuYasha and began tying it around his wrist and then giving it to Miroku. "If we tie it around our wrists then if something attacks us we can easily get it off unlike the waist which would bring us all down and we won't lose each other."

Miroku nodded to the Wolf and did as suggested and handed the vine to Sango who repeated the action. InuYasha received the last bit of vine and after he was done tying it cut the remaining pieces and went inside like he did before, the darkness seeming to swallow him as he set foot into the castle. Like on the path they walked through single file darkness covering them.

As they walked through the building no one could shake the feeling that they were being watched. All that could be heard were their foot steps echoing off the stone walls around them; or what they believed to be stone, they couldn't see around them they could only guess what the interior of the castle looked like. A steady drip of water could be heard somewhere to their left and a whistling wind ran over them every once and awhile sending shivers down their spines.

"Oh please let us be able to find Lunius in this maze of stone and darkness," Sango prayed as they turned another corner, although they couldn't see InuYasha seemed to be able to see the outline of the walls enough to guide them. But the only answer that she got was a Monk's perverted hand on her backside. "Miroku just because its dark doesn't mean I'm not going to be able to feel you or know that its you!" she hissed at the monk. But just as Sango was about to hit the monk she stopped midway by an unbelievable urge of raw power.

"Since when does the darkness have an aura?" Kouga asked confusion evident in his voice.

"Since it wants to be found," stated Miroku thankful that he had been able to avoid Sango's wrath.

"Well then common," ordered InuYasha, "I would hate to disappoint him." A low growl could be heard from his chest as he continued walking forward pulling the group along with him thanks to the vine.

The farther they walked the more powerful the aura seemed to become. A half an hour went by of them walking down the halls deeper and deeper into the castle until they came to a large room or at least something larger then a hallway since they couldn't feel the sides of the walls anymore. Once they were all several feet inside the aura disappeared and a large crash came from behind them of where they had entered.

"Is everyone one alright?" asked Sango, she was getting more and more paranoid. A chorus of yes and a grunt from InuYasha and her heart rate lowered a little. Then, as if on cue, a torch was lit on their right a distance behind them revealing a door in which they had come through that had now closed. Then another torch to the right of the last one ignited as well and this continued all the way around the room until it was back at its original destination.

After shielding there eyes from the sudden assault of light they were able to see their surroundings. The room was huge, and the roof seemed to go on forever it was like a dome. However the only way to explain this room was death. Skeletons littered the floor, as well as cobwebs seemed to decorate the corners, and layers of dust were on the bones revealing how long they had been here.

"Seems to be a battling room," Miroku said inspecting the closest body to him that had a spear in its right hand and a shield in another, which obviously didn't do its job. Like the other bodies this one was completely bone and sprawled in an awkward position, they were all killed in a battle. They continued walking to the centre of the room.

InuYasha still had the Tetsusaiga out and ready, no way was he letting down his guard in the house of the enemy. His eyes were shifting from side to side across the room ready for a sudden attack that could happen at any minute. His patience was growing thin, he wanted to fight and he needed to fight soon. As if to answer his thoughts two large red eyes were seen above them in the middle of the dome like roof. "We've got company!" InuYasha bellowed towards his comrades who all followed his gaze upwards. Below the eyes a large toothy grin could be seen madness written all over it.

"Nice for you to join us," the large grin said. "And by us I mean them, since you're going to be dead in a matter of seconds!" the voice boomed and no sooner had this reached their ears then a large dark power in the form of a raven came screaming towards them striking the ground in front of them throwing them in every direction and landing hard against the cold damp stones.
