Jin: Here's the next chapter

Jin: Here's the next chapter! I'm not saying jack, cause I want you to be surprised, and my sincerest apologies for taking so damn long.

New and Old Faces

There was no mistaking it. As Jason and Kagome locked eyes, Kagome saw without a doubt, that Jason had blinked. She stepped back in surprise and something bumped into her so hard she nearly fell over. Kagome turned and saw a little girl about 7 years old staring at her and then she quickly ran off. Kagome forgot about Jason for the moment until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed, and instantly closed her eyes and turned around with her hand flying. A hand caught her arm and she flailed her other arms and she struggled with her captor when an angry voice yelled, "Open your eyes you idiot!" Kagome opened her eyes and saw an angry pair of amber colored eyes staring at her. "Inuyasha?" Kagome breathed, adrenaline still flowing through her. "Who else did you think it was? Jason?" Inuyasha said. He let Kagome go and she slowly to not jump to any conclusions, "Inuyasha this a fake Jason, right? There's no way he's alive right?"

Inuyasha looked at her and then at Jason as he said, "Well, to be honest when I asked about that, I wasn't given a straight answer. Just, "We had to pay a lot of money for this." So I guess he has to be fake. It's not like Jason Voorhees is really alive. But why are you asking me?" Kagome hesitated, she knew that it was crazy, but she saw what she saw, "Inuyasha. I know there's a chance you won't believe me, but I swear I saw Jason Voorhees blink." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, I knew that you were going to say something weird, but this is ridiculous." Kagome frowned and said back sharply, "Look, I saw what I saw ok? Jason Voorhees blinked when I was looking at him. So can you at least go check Jason and see if he is really is fake?" Inuyasha muttered something but still walked up to Jason and the lightning in the background flashed again, illuminating Jason Voorhees. Inuyasha walked up to him directly, and prodded the body, but Jason didn't move or do anything at all. Inuyasha turned around and said, "Jason Voorhees is not alive and apparently will stay that way." Kagome started to reply when Jason slowly lifted his machete into the air, he raised it up high when Kagome suddenly yelled, "Look out!" The she pushed Inuyasha away from Jason and closed her eyes as the machete descended on her.

Suddenly, the machete stopped an inch above her head, and a punching sound, along with a yell, caught her attention. Inuyasha was yelling at a boy about his age and height. The other guy had messy black hair tied in a ponytail, deep blue eyes, and was skinnier than Inuyasha. He wore brown shoes, dark blue pants, and a shirt saying, "I'm not good with names, so I just call everyone, "Dumbass". Inuyasha yelled, "Koga what the hell is the matter with you?! Are you trying to hurt that girl you idiot!?" Koga snapped back, "Calm your ass down mutt-face, I was only playing with her!" "Shut up you smelly bastard! The only reason you come up with that lame insult is cause I'm born year of the dog!" "No, I call you mutt-face cause you lost your woman like a bitch!" Kagome ran off fast and quickly found who she was looking for and returned in ten seconds. Then, before Inuyasha could throw a fist, Ayame came to his side and yelled, "Koga! There you are, where the hell have you been!? Come on, we have to get to work!" She shoved Koga away quickly before anything could get worse and Kagome mouthed, "Thanks" as Ayame pushed Koga along, and the other girl nodded back to her a silent, "Your welcome".

Kagome walked up to Inuyasha who was still furious with caution and said, "I'm sorry Inuyasha. I didn't mean for things to get out of hand for you." Inuyasha replied back, "Huh, I was just fine. But I'll get that bastard Koga back later." Kagome smiled and patted his back, "That's good for you." Inuyasha shivered a bit and turned around yelling, "What the heck was that all about?" Kagome smiled nervously, "I was just being supportive." Inuyasha grunted a bit annoyed, but didn't say anything else. Kagome decided to change the subject, "You wanted me to inspect something?" Inuyasha nodded and said, "Yeah, follow me." Kagome nodded and she started to follow him to the cabin when she stumbled on a smooth rock and let out a small, "eep" when Inuyasha turned around and caught her. They looked into each other's eyes, and then Inuyasha set her right up. He said with an attempt to sound stern, "Be careful, there's rocks around here." Kagome nodded, but felt a bit hot in the face and didn't respond.

As they went into the main cabin, Kagome looked around. There were bunk beds with sheets that appeared old, strewn about in a negligent manner, and stained with blood. There was a table with old soda cans and a couple of beer bottles and cards were thrown carelessly around it. A dartboard with darts imbedded in random spots was nearby the table and several different sizes and shapes of traveling bags lay near the exit of the cabin. Inuyasha stood around for a bit and Kagome asked, "Did you help set this up?" Inuyasha replied, "Yeah, but you're friends, Sango, and Miroku helped." Kagome smiled and began looking around the cabin. Some of the bunks had bulges that appeared to look like bodies with limbs hanging out or slash wounds with the bloodstain from them on the sheets. Finally she walked over to the altar with the head of Jason Voorhees's mother. The head still had some flesh on it though signs of decay were apparent and a clear glass bubble to prevent anything going in or out, thus damaging the head further covered it.

Then she looked to her left and she saw a walkway going out to the pier and then it returned to where Jason Voorhees stood. He was as immobile as ever, but Kagome still was slightly nervous around him. The lightning flashed, illuminating Jason again. But when Kagome looked at him, Jason didn't blink or move. Maybe she had been imagining it after all? Kagome still didn't feel sure. She saw without a doubt, Jason Voorhees blinking as they locked eyes, but now it seemed crazy. Maybe it was really was just her imagination after all? She didn't get a chance to really think about it because then Sango called her over, "Hey Kagome! Come on, the tour is about to start in twenty minutes and we need you to get ready!" Inuyasha was already getting out of the basement with the others, but suddenly when he saw Jakotsu in there, he thought better of it and immediately headed up the stairs. Sango, Miroku, and Kagome went into the elevator with Bankotsu and Jakotsu being the only one's in there after all. They went up the elevator and suddenly, some scary music started playing causing the three who entered to jump in surprise. The music was intense, yet morbid enough to tune it down, and a weird breathing noise made itself apparent as Bankotsu repeated the breathing noise eerily, "Keh, keh, keh, keh, keh, Hah, Hah, Hah, Keh, Keh, Keh, Keh, Hah, Hah, Hah." Sango lightly punched Bankotsu's shoulder, "Not funny! That stuff IS creepy." Bankotsu rolled his eyes and said with his thumb pointed at Jakotsu, "It was his idea, he thought that it would be cool to add this music for the tourists. I'm surprised Kikyo went for the idea too." Kagome replied, "Kikyo's my older sister." "She is? Huh, I thought you looked somewhat like her." Bankotsu replied. Finally, the elevator got to their floor and as they walked out, with Kagome in front of them all, another girl bumped hard into Kagome, causing her to drop the drinks and foods she was carrying onto a tray right onto Kagome.

The other girl was a bit taller than Kagome, older by a couple of years, and carried a sort of arrogance. Before Kagome could say anything, the other girl said rudely, "What where you're going, you dumb broad!" Kagome replied, "Watch where I'm going? You're the one who bumped into me and dropped all that onto me!" The other girl retorted, "Shut the hell up! Nobody wants to hear your goddamned excuses, so shut up!" Before Kagome could reply any further, the tall man who Inuyasha had argued with appeared suddenly as if he just came out of thin air. Then he said as he gazed coldly at them all, "Kagura, I believe I told you to get yourself ready, the tourists shall be starting to arrive in an hour." Kagura snapped back, too angry to care, "It's this dumb bitch's fault that I spilt that stuff Sesshomaru! So go do something to her!"

Kagome protested angrily, "It wasn't my fault! I just walked out of the elevator and she suddenly bumped into me!" Sango and Miroku also started arguing in Kagome's defense while Bankotsu and Jakotsu stood in the background watching the show before them. Finally after a few more seconds, Sesshomaru spoke icily, cutting off everybody, "Kagura, I gave you an assignment and blaming others for your own incompetence is something I will not tolerate." Kagura ground her teeth through closed tight lips, but suddenly stormed off. After watching her walk off, Sesshomaru turned around walked the other way without a word or looking at any of them, except Kagome who noticed the brief glimpse he gave her that was about as short as the one she had with Jason Voorhees a few floors down ago. Inuyasha opened the doors that were beside the elevator and finally stepped out as soon as everybody else except Kagome left.

Inuyasha went up to Kagome and asked, "Did Sesshomaru say anything to you?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha and shook her head before saying, "No, he just looked at me before walking off." Inuyasha started to speak when suddenly, an intentional elbow caught him in his side and as he and Kagome turned to see who it was, both of them frowned as they saw the smug grin of, "Naraku." A 21 year old young man with long greasy black hair that looked as though he hadn't washed it for months, fairly dark skin, and almost three inches taller then Inuyasha walked past them both. He wore dark blue jeans with snakeskin boots, a white shirt with blood stains on sewn into the fabric, and over it, a black leather jacket with a crude symbol of a spider covering almost the entire back of the jacket was etched into the jacket.

Kagome absolutely hated Naraku. For years, he had tried to get with her older sister Kikyo, and at one point actually became her boyfriend. But Naraku was extremely possessive and hard on Kikyo, driving away her friends and family, including Kagome. Naraku almost treated her like a slave until finally she broke up with him, with Kikyo threatening to call the cops on him if he ever tried to do anything to her family or friends again. Naraku obviously wasn't intimidated by the threat because he kept showing up and being the same asshole he always had been. The surprises kept coming to Kagome because it was a total mystery to her, how Inuyasha knew Naraku. But before she could ask, Inuyasha had already stormed away in anger. Kagome was called back to reality as her sister walked over to her and said, "Kagome, go get ready, we're opening our doors soon. Stay away from Naraku, if he does anything tell me or somebody you know here, ok?" Kagome nodded and said, "Yeah, sure."
