Shashomiru: ….Yeah, okay. Well, here's the next chapter I suppose.

Hack: Yay…

They all remained silent and looked in the direction the Ham-Hams had flown towards. Everyone had expressions of surprise upon themselves and was not very sure of what to say.

Seto clutched his fists and spoke, "….Well, that's that. I knew him only for a few minutes. Let's keep going."

"For once, I agree with you." Inu Yasha began to walk ahead but was pulled back.

"Inu Yasha, we can't just abandon him! He's in trouble, he needs our help, Inu Yasha!" Kagome tugged at his arm.

He gazed down at her then back at the others. "I-…. B-but, we don't even know him!"

"Inu Yasha!" Her eye began to fill with tears.

"Uh.. No, please don't cry… We'll find him.."

"….Okay!" She smiled happily and pulled him forward. He blinked a few times and walked with her.

Seto raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "You actually fell for that?"

He clenched his teeth and growled.

"We have come bearing you the Bishie King! Here he is! Here he is! Here he is! Here he is!"

Ryou's face was very pale. "We're really far up, can we land, or how about you just let me go free, instead?"

The ham-hams laughed and Ryou finally arrived at the castle of the um… witch.

"Here he is! Here he is!"

"FINALLY! I've been waiting an eternity!"

"Wouldn't doubt it!" They came and placed Ryou on the floor. He bunched himself into a ball and covered his head, lowering his kitty ears.

The witch inspected him carefully. "….Wait… This isn't him. I asked for Seto Kaiba! Why'd you bring me HIM?!"

The Ham-hams spoke, "You asked for the popular Bishie, here he is, here he is, here he is!"

"I asked for Seto Kaiba!"

" o.o;; Oooops."

"GRRRR FINE. Good enough. Might as well… Well, hopefully they'll all come to him and try to save him. Then I'll have them all in my grasp…"

"Ha ha. Hahaha. Hahahaha haaa ha."

"Joey, my Baboon, take this thing to the dungeon and prepare for step two. …..Joey? ..WHERE ARE YOU!"

Just then, Joey climbed atop the windowsill, panting. "Oooo…oooo…"

"Ah. There you are. DO AS I COMMAND!"

"Oo. Oo. Oo." Joey walked over to Ryou.

Ryou flinched. "Please, be kind to me…"

Joey tilted his head and held up his monkey hand.

Ryou looked at it and carefully took hold of it and was taken to the holding room.

"AH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAAAH! My plan is coming along well! I will get my desire and win this thing! MWUAHAHAHA!"

"Ha ha hah hah."

"I have a feeling about this." Penman rubbed the back of his head.

"People always have feelings when they're like you." Seto crossed his arms.

"Puh. Let's just get there already, I'm getting tired of walking." Inu Yasha turned his head and looked to Kagome.

Kagome looked back and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm sure were getting closer to the castle, anyway, Inu Yasha."

"Ehh…"

Sango and Miroku inched closer to each other and looked about.

Starecro hummed about softly as he admired his flower and laughed happily. InuYasha shook him. "You're getting high off that thing."

"But it smells and looks soooo pretty."

"So?"

"Will you nitwits be quiet? I think we're close to the castle."

"Naaww, Sherlock."

"I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOUR-"

"Oh, come on, people, stop fighting, our lives could be on the line." Miroku shook his head.

"Yeah, well, I'd rather it than hang around this jackass." Inu Yasha scoffed.

Seto smirked. "That can be arranged…"

"Whyyyy, you-!"

"Inu Yasha, please! Let's just continue, okay, Inu Yasha?" Kagome encouraged him ahead.

"Fine."

"Ehh.."

"We'll never get through this." Shippo slapped his forehead and sighed.

"Negamo gonu zing-zing." Fro-Fro looked up at Shippo.

"Yeah, right?"

Shashomiru: Yes.

Hack: Yeah.

Shashomiru: Yep! So… please review!
