InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Stealing a Soul ❯ Painting a Portrait ( Chapter 4 )
"Ok now I'm lost, where is that darn bathroom, she should have shown me around first." Inuyasha looked to the ahead to see a closed door, but thought that it couldn't be it since it had a sign reading "Kikiyou". "
Wait! Kikiyou!? What the hell is going on? Did I miss something? Did she once live here? I mustn't be snooping around like this, but this is too strange, she died 4 years ago, didn't she? When I get back from what I was searching for I'll go straight to Kagome ask her about this, if I can find her. Yet I must know."

~~Painting a portrait~~
Inuyasha crept through the hall running in to many doors, but none led to where he was going. "Damn she has a big ass house, I never really paid attention, but now I wish I had especially to that one door. I've gotta forget right now I'm in a lost period here."
Lost in his train of thoughts he turned into a pair of swinging doors leading him straight into another corridor. "Ok now this is beginning to creep me out. Did I just go somewhere I wasn't supposed to?" Snapping back to reality he caught what he had just done.
"Now I'm really confused, but if I'm right I think this is a gallery of some sort, and it's pretty dark to be exact."
walking down the what seemed like an endless hall he noticed many paintings that hung boldly on the deep red wallpaper. All that he really could get a glimpse of was that they seemed to be all of one thing or two of a woman or girl and another as well sitting beside her yet she looked younger than the one standing. In other paintings they had different movements as well. The candles that lighted the hallway were stuck the walls, but the light flickered softly.
Finally * coming to the end (thank the gods) of a much larger frame than the others, Inuyasha decided to analyze this specific one very closely since there were two bright lamps hanging on each side of it that gave it more light.
"Hmm, I wonder what this could be?" He stepped up as close as he could get to identify The same girls. The older one wore a puffy velvet scarlet dress that scattered across the floor. Her hair was down in a natural bun, bangs curled fell against her face, she then held a small pinkish red amulet. Beside the girl was a younger girl who wore a much shorter dress a kimono that came to her feet. It was black covered in many types of red and blue flowers. Her obi tightly secured the kimono and fell to the floor. Her hair laid at her back with her hands folded in her lap.
Inuyasha pushed up on the tip off his toes and ran a finger along the young girl's face. "I wonder who these girls are. Could the older one be Kagome or this one I touch, could it be…Kikiyou?" She sure enough resembled the young woman, but Inuyasha wasn't completely sure, or if the other was Kagome.
The young girls eyes stared down at Inuyasha shining in the light the jewel and older one as well. It began to creep him out.
"Damn I didn't know I could get this freaked out by a painting. Just then he thought he saw her eyes begin to flutter. "Whoa, hold on am I going crazy again?" He stepped back from it only to be startled by a cold chill that hit his shoulder.
"Ahhh!" Panicked and wanting to get away from the freaky feeling he was having he ran forward forgetting about the wall in front of him, but instead of hitting the hard brick and painting that blocked his escape he fell straight through it or at least thought he did.

And that ends another dreadful chapter. I wonder what kind of mess he'll get himself into this time?
You'll just have to read and find out because I'm not telling. "Wait! Don't, nothing you say can make me do it!" viewer: Tell or I'll!"
*pulls out a katana* "No never!" *slashes toward me* "No I won't and I like my thumbs the way they are!" *Runs down the isle away from the physco viewer*
*Phew* "Got away that time, sure glad it wasn't Kikiyou, not that she could do anything."
Kikiyou: "What did you say?" *looking down at me with black eyes*
"No…nothing, well got to go see ya!" ^_^
