Dreams Come True:Sequel to Dream Confessions

Chapter 4: Enter The Meidou

A/N: To all my reviewers Thank you. Now on with the next chapter :-)

Everything seemed to pass by in slow motion as they entered the world of the damned. All Inuyasha could see now was blackness and stars. The stars and the floating always made him a bit sick to his stomach.

‘Damn I hate this, that bastard Naraku is going to pay big time just for making me come here. More importantly for all the fucked up shit he has done.’

“Come” Sesshoumaru ordered. Broken from his thoughts it took him a second to process what Sesshoumaru said as he floated by his side.

“Huh? How am I supposed to do that? It’s not like I can move around much you know.” Sesshoumaru placed part of his tail in front of Inuyasha face.

“Huh?” Inuyasha said again.

“I am going to take flight, I suggest you grab it.” Figuring that it was better then floating around and getting nowhere, he agreed. As soon as he grabs his tail Sesshoumaru took off like a flying bullet.

“OY! Slow down will ya. I’m gonn-“Before he could finish they landed on what looked like a stone bridge. They both landed gracefully although Inuyasha landed hard into a crouched position like a dog, while Sesshoumaru floated down.

“You are going to what?” Sesshoumaru questioned as he turned around to look at Inuyasha.

Then Inuyasha showed him by thrown up stew all over the walk way. After he finished he stated the obvious.

“Throw up.” Sesshoumaru raised his arched left eyebrow as if to say ‘duh, I can see that fashion.’

Then he said:

“I see, motion sickness.” He scoffed. How could a hanyou that jumps around all the time with no problem get motion sickness?

“No, It’s the place itself, I get sick when I come here. Last time I was here I passed out because of the wounds Naraku gave me. When I woke up I was sick the whole time. I think it’s got something to do with my human half.” He said as he got up wiped his mouth and headed towards Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru turned and walked away as his little brother caught up to him as they walked he said.

“Indeed, humans are suitable to the jaki here, it will kill them easily.” He said with a frown as he thought about how it killed Rin. Then he said:

“However your youkai half is keeping you alive, hence that is why you are ill instead of dead.”

“What about you Sesshoumaru, last time we where here you were fading away, won’t you fade away again?” He asked with concern in his voice.

“Do not fret for my well being little brother, I will not fade, this Sesshoumaru has the whole Tensaiga in his possession.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he thought:

‘Why does he always have to talk like that?!’

“I ain’t worried about ya, it was just a question?!” Inuyasha said defensively. As an after thought he added:

“And what about me I didn’t fade last time when we were in limbo, why.”

“Tch, because this Sesshoumaru handed the Meidou over to you, it kept you from disappearing. To answer your other inquisition, we both assist each other last time we left this place. You will know what to do when the time comes.”

“How in the hell did you know I was going to ask how we were going to get out of here?” He wondered. he didn’t want to break the Tensaiga again and use it as a guide that could make Sesshoumaru fade away. Even though he was able to free both of them before Sesshoumaru faded, he didn’t want to risk it.

“Observant.” Sesshoumaru said simply. The whole time they were having this little question and answer session, Sesshoumaru was checking their surroundings to see if he sensed any danger. Nothing was around, now however something approaches.

“I don’t smell any sign of Naraku how do we find him, and what does he want with Kagura.”

“You can’t smell him or any of the other specters because they have no physical body. However this Sesshoumaru will be able to detect both of them.”

“Oh cause of the Tensaiga that why…” He was cut off when Sesshoumaru threw his hand up and said.

“Silence, something is coming.” Inuyasha frowned at being ordered around and his second question being ignored, but he decided to ask him about Kagura again later. Besides Sesshoumaru was right, he could hardly smell anything and it is best to stay alert.

“Get back.”

“Eh, why?” Inuyasha said confused.

“You cannot destroy a spirit.”

“Oh, so I am just one big walking key.” He said a little irritated, he wanted some of the action to.

“Yes, however you may prove useful later, now out of the way.” He said as he pushed Inuyasha behind him with his left hand and drew his Tensaiga with the right. Inuyasha was pushed to roughly and ended up falling on his rear.

“Hey watch it.” Inuyasha said as he jumped up. Sesshoumaru ignored him as he got into a fighting stance to face off against the forthcoming spirit.

“What the fuck…” Sesshoumaru heard mumbled over his shoulder as the bridge begun to shake and crumble. Next thing they knew, a huge beast burst through the bottom of the bridge about five feet in front of them. Sesshoumaru didn’t move nor did his impassive expression change. But on the inside he was burned with rage. He didn’t have time to deal with this shit.

Inuyasha look up at the three headed huge dog with black fur. Each head and a mouth full of sharp fangs. The heads where barking and snarling getting ready to attack. Then Sesshoumaru calmly said.

“A hell hound huh, nothing but a minor annoyance.”

“Well the bastard looks like it’s seriously pissed.” Inuyasha said as his muscles tensed and he grabbed the hilt of his Tessaiga on reflex.

The beast leaped at them and tried to crush them with its massive paws, but the brothers were too fast for it. Inuyasha figured that if he can’t kill the beast, he could make himself useful by distracting it. They jumped back to avoid being smashed the Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru lunged toward the spirit.


“Hey ugly, get ready to feel the power of my Tessaiga, WINDSCAR” Inuyasha shouted as he scent a huge powerful strike against the hell hound right side.

“Do you lack the intelligence to follow simple command?” Sesshoumaru said in an annoyed voice as he managed to slice off one of the heads on the far left.

“Tch, like I can do that.” He said when he landed in front of the beast. As planned the windscar distracted the beast, but didn’t hurt it. It also managed to piss the spirit off because they lost one of their heads in the process. They roared in anger at the Inu brothers, a roar that promises death.

Taking on a mock fighting stance, knowing his sword has no effect on it, Inuyasha shouted “RED TESSAIGA!” He was trying to by Sesshoumaru time to finish the beast off.

‘That asshole better make it quick.’ Inuyasha thought while he was trying his best to bluff the beast.

Sesshoumaru used his speed and flight to fly over the beast heads. He looked out the corner of his eye in Inuyasha’s direction as he did so. With his Tensaiga held out in front of him in a horizontal fashion, he made a180 degree turn. At the same time he made a large arc with the Tensaiga cutting the beast in half. The energy from the blade went straight through the hell hound. Inuyasha widen his eyes as said energy headed in his direction. He narrowly flipped over the blade energy, missing it by a hair as it passed him the energy cut into the snake trying to get behind him, killing it instantly. Inuyasha heard it scream and turned around just in time to see the spirit turn into ash. Angry that he couldn’t sense the snake approaching behind him, he said thank you in his begrudging way.

“You could have warned me you know!!!”

‘Stupid pup.' Sesshoumaru thought as he sheath his sword and gave Inuyasha a bored look.

“Do not be such a fool; you know as well as this Sesshoumaru that the Tensaiga cannot cut living flesh.”

“Oh yeah…well you still could have said ‘look out’ ‘behind you’ or something! Even if the Tensaiga can’t kill me, that thing could have.”

“This Sesshoumaru did not, get over it. You will not die as long as you are with me. And Inuyasha next time, do not interfere unless told to do so.” Inuyasha frowned in frustration; Sesshoumaru could really grate on his nerves.

“I just distracted it for you that’s all and your welcome...a-and nevermind!!!” Inuyasha started to ask ‘since when do you care what happens to me.’ Then he thought:

‘Oh, yeah because you need me to escape, you need your key.’ Then a hint of sadness shined in his golden orbs.

“Your pack needs you Inuyasha, this Sesshoumaru will take you back to them they way he found you.” Sesshoumaru did a lot of nasty things, but he rarely lied. If he said he was going to do something he would do it. Knowing that that was Sesshoumaru way of reassuring his value is beyond that of a key, the sadness left his eyes.

“Now cease this useless chatter and follow me.”

“Grrrrrrrrrrr, Fine! But only because of what the old man said.” Inuyasha knew Sesshoumaru spoke the truth when he told him about his dream.

“Address Chichi with respect, Inuyasha.” He said with a hint of anger in his tone. He still had the up most respect for his late Chichi.

“Whatever.” Inuyasha grumbled, frowning and choosing to ignore his elder brother.

Tensaiga started to pulse and Sesshoumaru thought:

‘As I suspected the Tensaiga will lead us to Kagura’s location.’ He begun to walk in that direction gradually increasing his speed.

“What does Naraku want with Kagura anyway and how did he end up here, I thought he was trapped in the Shikon jewel.” Inuyasha said as he hurried to catch up.

“What did your miko wish for after she became trapped in the Jewel?” He asked trying to put the pieces together.

“She didn’t wish anything, she told the jewel to ‘disappear from this world.’ “

“Heaven, Hell, Earth and the Netherworldd…Chichi saw him right before he took Kagura.” Inuyasha continued to listen as Sesshoumaru said:

“Inuyasha, the miko didn’t say which world she wanted the jewel destination to be did she.”
Still walking by his side in his own thoughts he answered:

“No, why?”

“Since he became one with the jewel, when he perished, he became the new Magatsuhi. The miko told the jewel to disappear from Earth. Since he is one with the jewel, he wouldn’t not be able to return to our world through reincarnation. So the spider figured out away to crawl between both worlds of the dead huh. However there has to be more to it then that…”

“Keh, I get that but the question is how…and why would he want to go to hell and drag Kagura with him.”

Then Sesshoumaru looked at his little brother out of the corner of his golden right eye as they walked. Inuyasha so fury in those golden orbs and he could have sworn that he say a flash of red for a second. He knew that cold calculating anger wasn’t directed toward him, but it still sent an ice cold shiver up his spine.

“The bastard somehow plans to use Kagura to gain access to the world of the living.”

Inuyasha look up at him in confusion and said:

“I get that the asshole can’t come back on his own, but what I don’t get is why would he use Kagura? I know she was on our side and everything, but how did she get a soul when she was Naraku incarnation?”

“Her deeds helped her develop a soul; the Tensaiga completed her soul, thus giving her a chance to be reincarnated.” Sesshoumaru said calmly.

“Oh, so you tried to bring her back and couldn’t and the Tensaiga gave her the chance to have a second life.” Inuyasha said surprisingly wisely.

“Yes.” He said simply trying to calm himself.

“Wow, so you really cared about her huh?” Inuyasha said to himself softly.

‘Yes this Sesshoumaru does, has for a long time.’ He admitted to himself. However he didn’t dignify Inuyasha question with a response as he said.

“How Naraku came to be a dimension of hell is another perplexing enigma we need to solve. We will need to know how he came to be, in order to eradicate him form existence.”

‘Just totally ignore me, ass. He is right though, we have to figure out what’s making him tick.’ Inuyasha thought.

“Prepare yourself Inuyasha we will be approaching Naraku soon.” Sesshoumaru said.

“Keh. I am ready for anything.” Inuyasha scoffed.

“Indeed.” Sesshoumaru said sarcastically as he looked at Inuyasha out of the corner of his eye. He raised his right arched eyebrow in disbelief. Inuyasha wasn’t ready for that snake earlier and he knew it.

“What’s that look for……hey if ya thinking about earlier, that doesn’t count.” Inuyasha said defensively after he figured out what that look was for.

“If a mistake cannot be avoided, you should learn from them instantly. That’s if you want to live.”

Before Inuyasha could response Sesshoumaru said in a monotone voice. He said:

“We have arrived.” He said looking up. Out of nowhere hell birds swooped down upon them, Hell hounds and giant Cyclops spirits appeared from below them. They were surrounded by hell creatures of all kinds.

“Typical Naraku, using minions to hide behind…pathetic.” He said in a low dangerous tone. Then he said:

“Inuyasha, use your claws and blade on the birds, this Sesshoumaru will handle the rest. Inuyasha nodded in agreement and said:

“Keh, it looks like we have our work cut out for us. Oh well this should give us a good warm up before we get to Naraku.” He said with bravo. He pulled out his sword. At the same time, Sesshoumaru pulled his Tensaiga out of its sheath. The both cracked their knuckles the way they usually did and charged into battle…

A/N: How did Naraku end up in hell, how he became a dimension, exactly what does he plan to do with Kagura… all these will be revealed later on in the story. All hell breaks lose in hell. Oh yeah and I know that Sesshoumaru mother could open up the Mediou with her stone. But since she told Sesshoumaru ‘don’t expect me to do this again’ for this fan fiction not only will she bring anyone back to life, but the Mediou stone could only be used one time like one of Hosinkis’ the Jewel youkai black pearl could only be used once. Hope you enjoy.
