CHAPTER 9: SCEME INTO ACTION
The next day, it was sunny. Onigumo was with Inuyasha going through the castle. "Onigumo, where are you going?" Inuyasha asks curiously. Onigumo took a minute, not too get carried away, "I was going to the ravine to map I out." Inuyasha comes up, "I wanna see. I wonder what it looks like too." Onigumo smiles, 'he's taking the bait.' He then turns toward the door. "I'm afraid not, Inuyasha. I can't let the prince to get into more trouble. Inutaishou told me what happened and I was worried as well." Inuyasha quickly looks up to him, "You know about that?" Onigumo innocently replies, "Inuyasha, everyone knows about it." Inuyasha raises an eyebrow, "really?"
"Oh yes, lucky your father saved you. And just between us, you might want to work on that barking of yours." He offers. Inuyasha nodded. Onigumo leaves the castle. Inuyasha's curiosity gets the better of him. He didn't want to miss all the action. So he sneaks out of the castle, not far from behind Onigumo, but just to make sure he wasn't noticed.
Onigumo arrives at the ravine, looking around the area. "This will do." He said as he transforms back into his real form. He runs up the cliffs on the walls. Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoshi are waiting for him on top of him. "Where is he?" Kagura asks irritated tapping her foot. In front of them is a herd of demons all over the area. "He'll be here, just be patient." Kanna informs her. All of a sudden Naraku comes up, "He's coming. Get into position you guys." Naraku said as he looks down the ravine. Inuyasha enters the ravine. "Hmm I wonder where he is now?" He asks himself as he looks around. He finds a rock and sits on it. 'How is it that he knows about the incident in the Eastern Lands?' He thought resting his hands on his hands. A little lizard come out of the hole below him. Inuyasha, taking Onigumo's advice starts barking at it, trying make him run away. He barks so loud it scared it, and the bark echoes all over.
All of sudden, a rumble comes. As the pebbles flicker around of the pounding of the ground, Inuyasha looks up and sees the demon begin to run down the cliff, towards him. Inuyasha runs deeper and deeper into the ravine. "I'm going be in so much trouble when I get home." He said as he keeps on running.
Myoga on Inutaishou's back spots something, "Your majesty, something's going on with your demons." Inutaishou looks at it careful, "That's odd, Myoga."
"Sire! Sire!" Yells Onigumo. Inutaishou turns to him, "What is it, Onigumo?" Onigumo pants, "There's a stampede in the ravine. Inuyasha's down there." Inutaishou gasps, "Inuyasha? No!" Inutaishou and Onigumo start running back to the ravine. Inuyasha finds a tree up ahead and climbs it high. Inuyasha is hanging hoping the stampede will subside. Inutaishou transforms into his dog form and goes on ahead. He gets on the edge looking over the stampede. He spots his son, "Inuyasha, Hang in there. I'm coming." He runs into the stampede. Myoga is with Onigumo panicking, "I have to go look for help." Onigumo shakes his head. "Sorry Myoga, I can't let you tell anyone about this." Onigumo said walking on the edge looking over. "Inutaishou, you're going to see what I'm doing to you and your son."
Inutaishou jumps up and gets Inuyasha onto his back. "Inuyasha, I've got you." He said. He find a cliff low enough to climb on, He puts Inuyasha on it. He is suddenly been pulled back into the stampede. "Dad!" Inuyasha yells as he looks for his father. A flash of light pops out and it clawed onto the rocky ledge. Struggling to get to higher up the wall. Inuyasha goes finds a path to help him. Inutaishou finds Onigumo, "Onigumo, help me!" He pleads. Onigumo steps onto his hand, revealing who he is, "Naraku…How dare you." Inutaishou yells at him. How foolish can Inutaishou be? He never knew that Onigumo was Naraku all along. "Long live the king." Naraku chuckles as he throws Inutaishou off the cliff. Hearing his screaming, Inuyasha turns around and sees his father falling. "NO!" Inuyasha runs back down to the ravine, as the stampede faded.
