Chapter 3
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yeah, Naraku is still alive." Gramzon said as he was examining a seed.
"But how is he still alive?" Miroku asked.
"He is an eternal being." Gramzon answered as he flicked the seed away.
"Do you know where he is at?" Kagome asked.
Gramzon shook his head, "No, and the strange thing is that I can't sense the other two."
"You mean Mazune and Kumara." Miroku stated.
Gramzon thought for a moment when he got an idea.
"Inuyasha, did you use your Meido Zangetsuha earlier?" Gramzon asked looking at Inuyasha.
"Yeah on two demons, why?" Inuyasha asked.
"I need you to use it, open up the portal to the underworld." Gramzon demanded.
"Why?" Mordecai asked.
"I think I know why," Shadow said standing up, "I believe that Amethyst is there and I need to save her."
"As if, I'm not going to listen to any human." Inuyasha said as he turned his head.
"I think I have a little solution to the problem." Gramzon said as he hit a few buttons on a hologram that appeared on his watch.
"Sit!" That watch yelled in Kagome's voice.
Instantly Inuyasha fell face first into the ground. Everyone was shocked on what happened.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked as he got up.
"My watch can record someone's voice and I can have them say any word I choose." Gramzon said with a smile, "I actually thought it wouldn't work at all."
"Fine I'll use it." Inuyasha said as he stood up.
He pulled out his sword and then the blade turned completely black. He then swung his sword which then a crescent shaped hole appeared. Gramzon walked into it only to bounce back.
"Damn, should've known I couldn't enter." He said as he stood up.
Shadow looked inside and realized something.
"I can actually see everything in there," Shadow said as he got closer to the meido, "I see a black sphere surrounded by a red aura, and I see…"
Shadow then ran inside the Meido.
"SHADOW WAIT!" Gramzon said as he tried to grab Shadow, but the Meido closed before he could.
"What's going to happen?" Shippo asked.
"He's going to die," Gramzon said as he looked at the ground.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"In my past lives, I have battled all 3 of those evil creatures; they never play fair, they have no honor, and the will kill you without hesitation." Gramzon said as he pulled out a green marble that was labeled "underworld". Gramzon then put it into the hilt of his sword. He then began to cut into the air. When he finished his cut the part where he cut another Meido appeared. He then ran into it vanishing. Mordecai ran into it as well but it vanished before he could.
Shadow appeared on a dirt path that appeared below him. He looked down and saw purplish liquid splashing around. He then started to flay toward the two miasmas that captured the one he cared about.
"So you have gotten in this dreadful place have you?" Kumara said as he held a cage with Amethyst in it.
"Shadow please, help me!" Amethyst yelled as tears streamed down her face.
Shadow then pulled out his sword, "I beat one of you! I can beat all of you!"
Shadow then felt something pierce his chest. He looked down and saw a blade sticking out.
"You're lucky, I missed your heart," A voiced hissed behind him, "But sadly you will die of the poisons that are now within you."
"NARAKU!" a voice yelled as several green crystals flew past.
"Well, well, well," Naraku, Kumara, and Mazune said at once, "It seems that you have chosen a human to be your next host, Gramzon."
"Yeah, well this time I am stronger than before, "Gramzon said he panted.
"Let's go for now brothers" Kumara said as a portal appeared and they vanished.
Gramzon broke Amethyst's cage open. He then started to vanish.
"Damn, sorry princess, but I can't stay longer. I'm sorry but you two must find a way out yourselves." Gramzon said as he vanished completely.
"Shadow! Are you okay?" Amethyst asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Shadow said as he stood up but then fell down.
Amethyst put Shadow's arm around her neck and helped him up. They began to walk on the path for a while when shadow spoke up.
"Why are you doing this?" Shadow asked, "I thought you hated me."
Shadow coughed and blood trickled down the side of his mouth.
"Because," Amethyst said as she wiped the blood away, "I still need a body guard."
"Do you know where we are going?" Shadow asked.
"No, but I'll get us out of here." Amethyst said as she continued on.
Shadow then fell to the ground taking her with him.
"Shadow, what's wrong?" Amethyst asked.
"My body is dying, I won't make it," Shadow said as he coughed up more blood, "please, go on without me."
"I can't Shadow! I just can't!" Amethyst yelled as tears streamed the side of her face, "I can't leave because I love you!"
"Y-you love me?" Shadow asked, Amethyst could only nod, "Princess Amethyst, I love you too."
Shadow coughed harder this this time, then he handed Amethyst his sword, "I want you to take this, tell your mother I'm sorry I couldn't return with you."
Then Shadow then kissed Amethyst and then he fell limp. His eyes went lifeless. Amethyst then cried as she held Shadow close to her.
"Child, you must leave now." A voice called out.
"W-who are you?" Amethyst asked.
The shadows around her then began to form into a dragon.
"My name is Black World; I am the Darkness of the Underworld." The figure said as he helped Amethyst up.
"Can you help him?" Amethyst asked.
"I'm sorry, but I can't." Black World said as he closed Shadow's eyes.
Blackest Night then began to glow and it opened a portal back to the mortal world.
"His body is now bound here," Black said as he turned toward Amethyst, "Now go."
"But, I can't leave him." Amethyst said as she took a step forward.
Black World said nothing as he shoved Amethyst thru the portal and closed it. He turned toward Shadow's body and sighed.
"Rest my great grandchild." Black said as he vanished into the darkness.
