Chapter 19- New situation pt. 1
"DAMN IT! How could this have happened? I've never lost control of my power before! If I let my temper get the better of me I could accidently destroy the planet! Now I dont have the slightest idea where they are! At least I managed to weaken the portal enough to send them to another part of the planet instead of another time period. No matter, all I have to do is absorb the girls power to sense the jewel shards and then I can find the rest of it myself." Big brother thought as he floated freely in space, high above the earth.
"Now that Geode is dead and Hiei deserted me I only have the guardians left to serve me. But that doesn't do me much good since my damned father only gave me five of them and hid the rest in his castle. I suppose I could have them search the planet for her but that could take days!" He continued.
"Fine, it seems I have no choice, I will continue to seach for the jewel shards while they search for the girl." Big brother then took out five grey marbles and opened five portals and threw one into each. He then fired a blast of black energy at each one causing them to crack and break apart.A small amout of light shone through each of the cracks as they appeared. Big brother then flew down to earth to resume his search.
--------------------------------------
Kagome awoke and found herself lying face down in water. She qickly got up and choked out the small amout she had swallowed when she gasped. She looked around and saw that she was on a small beach right outside a forest. She then looked around to see if any of her friends were with her. Unfortunatley she couldnt see any signs of life at all, let alone any of the others. "I wonder where everyone is? I hope the're alright." She thought to herself as a group of hungry eyes watched from the shadows.
Miroku woke up to find himself in a house lying on a bed. He sat up and looked around at the small room. The walls were an off white color, as was the ceiling. There were two windows on each side of the room that had a faint light shining through them. There was a door in the cornor of the room where Miroku could hear people talking. He then started to think of what happened to him before he woke up. "Hm...The last thing I remember is fighting Geode. But how did I survive? It felt like I was only seconds away from death, and now I barely have a scratch on me! I have no idea where I am so I better keep my guard up." The monk thought to himself.
Just then a young girl walked in the room with a tray and a bowl filled with water and a cloth. She looked up and gasped to see the monk awake. She then smiled and ran out of the room. Moments later she walked back in, dragging a young woman with her. They looked human at first glance but upon further inspection they clearly werent. They both had white/silver hair, similar to Inuyashas but it was shorter.They also both had red colored irises.They were both wearing long white robes which covered their entire bodies,leaving nothing but their heads visible. Their skin was a bit paler than a normal human and it looked as if they had slightly longer teeth than a normal human would as well."I'm glad to see your finally awake." The young woman smiled.
Miroku simply stared into her crimson eyes seemingly gauging something. "Um...Hello?" She tried to snap him out of his trance and waved in front of his face. He blinked a few times and shook his head. "Oh...um..yes." Was all he said before going silent. "Well anyway, my little sister Rini found you in the mountain river and dragged you back here. You've been out for at two days." She told him. "Only two days? But thats impossible! It would have taken at least six months for me to be able to heal this much!"Miroku thought to himself. He then looked down at the young girl and patted her on the head. She smiled and left the room again.
"So whats your name?" The woman asked. "I am Miroku. May I ask your name?" He answered. "Oh yes, how rude of me. I am the priestess of this village. My name is Sakura." She answered him." If my sister hadnt found you then you would probably have been dead by now! I wasn't sure if my power was enough to heal you. What happened anyway?" She then asked. "Well then...I thank you for healing me..." Miroku then took her hands in his and said "So to show my gratitude I have a very important question for you: would you bear my children?"
At this comment she turned beat red and a vain appeared in her head. "Grrrrr! JACK ASS!" She then punched him in the face, sending him to the ground. "It was worth a shot." Miroku said as he rubbed his nose to try and stop the pain.
-----------------------------------
Sango, like Miroku had been found by someone and had awoke in a bed. The room she was in was almost pitch black and she couldnt see much more then a vauge light coming out from behind a curtain of vines. She attempted to step off the bed but couldnt move. She then realized that her wounds were patched up with some sort of medicinal plants. She then slowly tried to get up again and started to feel a small bit of her strength coming back. Each step she took though was extemely painful, but given what had just happened to her she was glad to be able to walk at all.
She looked around the dimly lit room and found her weapons. She quickly strapped them on and headed for the door. But as she took her first step out of the cave there was a loud howl and foot steps crunching leaves underneath. Sango ran as fast as she could back into the cave and hid behind the vines. Then she saw a large, strange looking wolf-like creature walk in. It stood upright like a man but was still hunched over. It also had a wolves' face and fur. It was very muscular with bright green eyes. It stepped inside the cave and unclenched its hands to show its long claws which seemed to be dripping with blood. Sangos eyes narrowed as the demon approched and she got ready for a fight.
-----------------------------------
"Kirara, is he any better?" Shippo asked as he brought some more water to the still unconscious Yusuke. Kirara gave a small growl which signaled a no. "I hope he wakes up soon cause we're gonna need him if we're gonna find the others." He then said.
They had landed in a wasteland where it appeared as if a fire had gone out of control and destroyed everything. There were trees that were completely charred to the point that you could barely tell what they were. The ground was dry and cracked, showing no signs of fertility at all. There were cottages scattered around in a clearing, most of which had been burned to the point that they could not be repaired. Two or three of them were still standing but it looked too dangerous to go inside as they could collapse at any moment. The sky was also as dismal and deppressing as the landscape below. There were dark clouds that covered most of the sky which was beggining to turn a dark orange color, as the sun sank behind the mountains on the horizon.
Shiro then flew overhead and landed next toShippo with a large bird in his mouth. "Good you found some food! It may not be as good as the food Kagome brings us but at least we can eat it." Shippo said as he took the bird out of Shiros mouth.
"Master, I have found the fox child and the demon cats. There is also a human with them, he is unconcious but I can sense a large power within him." A demon said in his mind while talking to a certain dark knight.
"Good, thats Yusuke, make sure you kill him before he wakes up otherwise your as good as dead. I could almost feel his attacks when they hit me, meaning that if he uses his full power on you you wont stand a chance.
"What should I do about the demons?" The demon asked. "Kill them, I dont want even the slightest bit of resistence when I find the girl." He ordered the demon. "Im impressed that you found them after only a few hours. I would have thought that it would take days, or even weeks before any of you found one of them." He then said in a pleased voice.
"Your father didnt capture us from our own time periods for nothing. We are the best of the best out of the fighters from our own times or dimensions." The demon bragged. "Well dont get cocky! One false move is all you need to make to give him the chance to destroy you. He may seem like a brainless buffoon, but his power makes up for any flaws he has." Big brother warned.
-------------------------------
"Oh man! I gotta get outta here!" Touken thought as he turned the corner to escape the guards of thecastle he had landed in. "There he is get him!" One of the guards yelled. Dozens of armored men then charged at him with large spears, swords, and other weapons. Then more guards came from the other side as well. "Great now I have to waste my time beating these guys into submission. Oh well better get started!" Touken cracked his knuckles and waited for the guards to reach him.
--------------------------------
Kuwabara had been walking for hours with his stomach growling the whole time. "Oh man, this sucks. This stupid field never ends!"" He complained while holding his stomach. Just then he saw a large cloud of dust trailing behind something.
He squinted to see what it was and saw a small tornado coming straight at him. He jumped out of the way as it flew right by him. It then came back and stopped to reveal Koga inside it. "Hey, you're one of Kagomes friends. Where is she?" The wolf yelled as he lifted Kuwabara up by his colar. "Ewwww. I guess they didnt invent breath mints yet. Anyway I dont know where she is. In fact I dont even know where I am!" Kuwabara said. Koga sighed and said "Fine come on you're gonna help me find her." He then lifted him up and started running at top speed again. "Woah! Wait slow down! I'm gonna throw up!" Kuwabara yelled as Koga started up the tornado again.
-------------------------------------
Inuyasha hadnt been quite as fortunate as the others though. He woke up and found himself in a cage with several other demons. "Where am I? What? I cant move my body!" He thought as he stuggled to move even the slightest bit. He could feel that the cage that he was in was moving. This led him to blieve that he had been captured for some reason or another."Dont bother trying, we've been drugged so that we cant move at all." A voice said in his mind.
He moved his eyes, the only part of his body that still functioned and saw a demon that had long and gangly limbs, it also didnt have a mouth, so it appeared that it was using telepathy to speak to him. It was very thin and wrinkly, it also had green skin and red, insect like eyes. Its claws were blue and it had what looked like blue thorns sticking out of its body.
"Where are we! Who are you? I want some answers!" Inuyasha demanded while still talking to the demon in his mind. "I am Bachiatari, I am one of the few plant demons remaining in this world. We are being taken to fight in an arena for the entertainment of the humans." He said in a voice devoid of any emotion.
"What? No way am I gonna be part of someones show!" Inuyasha then slowly clenched his fist in an attempt to move.But just as he did this a large man walked in, he had several scars across his chest, back, and face. He only had one arm and was holding a needle in the other.
He walked over to one of the demons and kicked it over. "Hm. Dead, this sucks! Now we're gonna have to stop to pick up another one! Whatever, time to give you freaks you're medicine!" He then walked over to one of the demons and stabbed the needle into its neck. He pulled it out and a drop of green liquid poured out of the small hole.
"He must be using some sort of poison!" Inuyasha thought as the man approched him. "My arm! I can move my arm! I can only move it a little and it may not be at full strength but at least I can move it. He managed to get out a smirk as the the man was getting closer.
He was about to thrust his claws forward when he felt it go numb again. "No, If you try to fight you will be killed, I'm sorry but I'm using my power to keep you restrained." Bachiatari said to him. The man injected the needle into his neck and then into the plant demons, he then proceeded to do this to the rest of the demons. He walked over to one demon that was slumped over in the corner. As he approched it it sprang to life and lunged at him with its long claws. But all Inuyasha saw was a bright flash andthe sight of the demon laying in a pool of its own blood.
"You, bastard! Why did you stop me? I could have killed him! Then we could all have gotten out of here once the poison wore off!" The dog demon yelled in his mind. "There are dozens of soldiers following us, If you were to kill him, they wold execute you on the spot. That is assuming that you could kill him. That last demon had full control of its body back and it had the element of surprise on its side. Even with these it was killed without any effort or mercy. I am hoping to have as many of us survive as possible until we get there." The plant demon told him in his unfeeling voice.
"Where are we going anyway?" Inuyasha asked. "To the dark tournament." Bachiatari answered.
