Insane Demon, Jodanmura

One night in feudal era Japan, Inuyasha and his team cornered Naraku. They would finally defeat the sinister villain once and for all...or so they thought. He used a demon puppet and led them into a trap. They were stuck inside a large cave. However, this was no ordinary cave. They'd learn it's secret soon enough.

Inuyasha: "Damn that Naraku! Where did he go?"

Kagome looked over and noticed another group of people in the distance.

Kagome: "Everyone...look! It's Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru, Jaken and Rin were also trapped inside the cave. Rin waved happily to Inuyasha and the others. Jaken gave a look of disgust. Sesshomaru acted as if he could care less. The two groups joined together and planned to escape somehow. But as they conferred, small laughter was heard from above.

Sesshomaru: "I smell something..."

Jaken: "I swear it wasn't me, me lord!"

Sesshomaru: "...it smells like Naraku..."

Inuyasha's eyes filled with rage and he drew Tetsusaiga.

Inuyasha: "HAKUDOSHI! I know that's you!"

Hakudoshi was standing on a platform, far out of reach from Inuyasha. The boy with long white hair snickered wickedly from behind his shining barrier. Sesshomaru believed that it was not Hakudoshi that he smelled. But he kept the thought to himself.

Hakudoshi: "Naraku has plans for you."

He pointed his fingers and counted the people in the cave.

Hakudoshi: "Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken. That's eight..."

Just then, two bodies fell from the ceiling. Hakudoshi smiled.

Hakudoshi: "And that makes ten."

Inuyasha: "What the hell is going on?"

Hakudoshi extended his middle finger at Inuyasha and disappeared into the darkness behind him. Inuyasha shouted a string of obscenities.

Kagome: "Inuyasha! There are children present!"

Inuyasha: "I don't give a f--"

Kagome: "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!!!"

Inuyasha fell to the ground and was pushed deeper with each yell. Shippo laughed as Sango helped the two people that fell from before. They were her brother, Kohaku, and the Wind Sorceress, Kagura.

Kagura: "What is going on?"

Kohaku: "...."

Hakudoshi's voice filled the air. But he was not visible to anyone.

Hakudoshi: "You are all to be punished."

Kagura: "What? Even me?"

Hakudoshi: "Yep. You are a traitor."

Kohaku: "And me? What did I do?"

Hakudoshi: "You ate Naraku's rice cakes. He was saving those."

Kohaku grew angry.

Kohaku: "Liar! You ate those!"

Hakudoshi: "You know that...and I know that...but Naraku doesn't. Now, it is time for your punishment."

The cave trembled. Everyone grabbed onto something so they wouldn't fall. Except for Sesshomaru, who was too cool to grab onto anything. The walls glowed and lights shined from above. A single podium rose up from the ground beneath them. Standing behind it was a male demon that looked no older than 20. He was quite handsome, with yellow eyes and long green hair tied into a ponytail. He sported a violet kimono and was holding a deck of cards. On his face was a wide grin that was more creepy than friendly.

Sesshomaru: "You...you're the one I smelled."

Demon: "Hi."

Inuyasha: "You stink...you reek of Naraku!"

Demon: "What's your excuse?"

Inuyasha: "YOU PIECE OF--"

Kagome: "SIT!"

Inuyasha fell face forward once again. Kagura knew who the demon was.

Kagura: "Jodanmaru...what is going on?"

Jodanmaru: "You are to be divided into teams of five. You will be asked a series of questions. The ones with the most right gets to leave the cave alive. The losers will be covered in barbecue sauce and fed to the demons outside of Naraku's castle. Hee-hee! It's going to be so cool!"

Jodanmaru laughed maniacally, almost at an insane level. Miroku looked at him sternly.

Miroku: "You're not like Naraku's other incarnations. You're a tad... goofier."

Jodanmaru: "Yeah...Naraku was drinking a lot of sake when he made me."

Sango: "I could tell."

Jodanmaru: "Ah, shut up before I shove that boomerang down your throat! Now select your teams...and prepare for a round of 'Who Wants to Survive?' "

Inuyasha didn't want to play. Neither did Sesshomaru or Kagura. But they eventually realized that they had no choice. Inuyasha's team consisted of himself, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku and Sango. Sesshomaru's team was himself, Kagura, Rin, Jaken and Kohaku. Kirara couldn't speak, so she couldn't play. Jodanmaru was picking his nose when the teams were selected. He looked at his finger and smiled.

Jodanmaru: "Ooh! That's a keeper!"

He wiped it onto his kimono, causing Kagome to get queasy.

Jodanmaru: "Who's first? Two people, one from each team, step forward. The first to answer the question right wins a point for their team."

Miroku volunteered. He would be facing Kagura. Sesshomaru called to her.

Sesshomaru: "Don't blow it."

Kagura turned to face him. She smirked.

Kagura: "I won't...and you better not either."

As Kagura turned, Miroku stared at her rear end. Sango saw this and threw a rock at him, nailing him right in the head.

Sango: "You dirty monk!"

Jodanmaru: "Question 6..."

Kagura: "Uh, this is the first question."

Jodanmaru: "It is?"

Miroku nodded.

Jodanmaru: "Well, I start counting with the number 6. So there! OK, question 8..."

Miroku: "I thought it was 6."

Kagura: "It's really 1."

Jodanmaru: "12."

They looked at him, puzzled at how someone could be so stupid.

Jodanmaru: "What do you call a female ninja?"

Kagura: "A kunoichi."

Miroku: "A babe!"

Jodanmaru: "Point goes to Miroku!"

Kagura: "WHAT?!"

Sango lowered her head and sighed. At least they had a point. Kagura angrily walked over to her team.

Kagura: "That sexist jerk...I was right..."

Sesshomaru: "I know you were. This is total foolishness."

Shippo stepped forward. His opponent was Jaken.

Jodanmaru: "OK, midgets. Your question is easy. How many centimeters are in a meter?"

Jaken: "100."

Shippo: "100."

Jodanmaru: "Point goes to Shippo."

Jaken: "But I was first!"

Jodanmaru: "Yeah...but you're ugly. He gets the point."

Jaken was irate and he walked away. Shippo giggled. They were up 2-0. One more and they'd win with 3 out of 5. It was Sango's turn. Her opponent was Kohaku.

Sango: "Kohaku..."

He said nothing.

Jodanmaru: "What color is between red and yellow on the rainbow?"

Sango: "Blue?"

Kohaku: "Orange."

Jodanmaru: "Yep. Point goes to Kohaku."

Kohaku whispered as they walked away.

Kohaku: "You did that on purpose."

Sango smiled and sat down. She didn't want her brother to die, so she messed up. Up next were Kagome and Rin.

Jodanmaru: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Kagome: "HUH?"

Rin: "He could chuck as much wood as he wanted."

Jodanmaru: "Point goes to Rin since Kagome is stupid."

Kagome gritted her teeth and sat down. The game was all tied up now. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked forward. Inuyasha smiled at his brother and nodded his head. Sesshomaru knew that he had a plan and played along.

Jodanmaru: "The final question..."

Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga and Sesshomaru drew Tokijin. They chopped Jodanmaru into pieces. The pieces floated before them and started to reform.

Jodanmaru: "Cheaters! You are no fun!"

Inuyasha: "I'm going to kick your--"

He remembered Kagome.

Inuyasha: "--um, buttocks!"

Sesshomaru couldn't help but chuckle at hearing his brother say that. Inuyasha glared at him and then back at Jodanmaru.

Inuyasha: "You suck! And do does this stupid game! WIND SCAR!!!"

Tetsusaiga released a massive amount of power...a huge and mighty Wind Scar that tore through Jodanmaru, killing him and blasting a hole in the side of the cave. Everyone ran out as quickly as possible. Kagome was upset.

Kagome: "Inuyasha! Why didn't you do that from the start?"

Inuyasha: "If my face wasn't in the ground half of the time, I would have!"

They argued as usual and headed off into the night with their friends. Sango took Kohaku, hoping to free him from Naraku. Sesshomaru, Jaken and Rin went on their way. Kagura boarded her feather and took to the sky above.

In his castle, Naraku watched in Kanna's mirror alongside Hakudoshi.

Naraku: "They all escaped. Your plan failed."

Hakudoshi: "Um...it was Kanna's plan!"

Naraku: "Kanna can't even use the bathroom unless I tell her to. How could she think up a plan? And I know that you ate my rice cakes."

Hakudoshi: "Nuh-uh!"

Naraku: "Quit lying. You must be punished. Kanna...get the TV and DVD player that I stole while I was in the future**. Hakudoshi will watch Mariah Carey's 'Glitter' movie non-stop for the next seven days."

Hakudoshi: "WHAT?!"

Kanna went to get the torture ready. Hakudoshi begged for mercy. Naraku showed him none.

Naraku: "And Kanna...get me some more rice cakes while you're up."

**NOTE: Naraku was in the future during "Inuyasha and Kagome Appear on the Jerry Springer Show". He stole the items during his visit there.
