"Damn."
"Inuyasha it can't be that bad."
"It's that bad wench. It's that bad."
Kagome sighed and turned once more to the demon in front of them. A giant scorpion. But it had a Shikon fragment in it's back, which made it a formidable foe. It took all Inuyasha's agility and reflexes to dodge that powerful tail.
"Behind you Inuyasha!"
"Shit!" he howled, dodging. Kagome sighed. That was close. She watched him for a while longer before turning to Miroku and Sango, who had arrived shortly after them on Kirara.
"Kagome, what's going on?" Miroku asked.
"What do you mean? Isn't a bit obvious?" She looked again at Inuyasha, jumping like a flea all over the back of the scorpion. He looked over at the three of them and growled.
"Is anyone gonna help me?!" Kagome giggled.
"Use the Tessaiga baka. This should be easy," she yelled back. Only then did she realize that the sword in question was only half-transforming. Her eyes widened and then she turned to Miroku.
"Miroku, get your butt out there and help him!" He raised an eyebrow at her tone.
"And why, may I ask? I thought he could handle this." He smiled charmingly and Kagome waved her arms helplessly.
"It's a new moon tonight!"she wailed. Miroku's eyes then widened as well and he leaped over the rock he was sitting on to join in the fray. Sango half-rose and laid a hand on Hiraikotsu.
"Should I help them Kagome? With Miroku they should finish this off easily." Kagome dragged her eyes off the fighting to look at Sango for an instant. Her hand had tightened on the weapon and her eyes were pleading. Kagome frowned for an instant then brightened.
"It'll go by faster if you do!" Sango nodded once, her face determined. Then, with a speed Kagome couldn't comprehend, she ran out onto the battlefield to assist the boys. Kagome sat on the sidelines, her bow at the ready.
"Kagome!" Kagome turned, looking behind her with alarm. Shippou shot out of the bushes as though his tail were on fire and leapt into her arms.
"Where were you Shippou? I wondered where you were!" The little fox demon burrowed his face in her stomach, inhaling her wonderful, familiar scent.
"Myouga," he muttered, not explaining what the flea had to do with anything. Kagome raised an eyebrow at the kitsune. He sighed and settled himself comfortably in her lap after an uninterested look at the battle that ensued 50 yards away.
"He told me to be on my guard 'cause of Inuyasha's you-know what!" His last words were a whisper, meant only for Kagome's ears. She nodded and they both returned their attentions to the battle.
Inuyasha dashed across the scorpion youkai's long back, lifting his hand to prepare for an attack. Suddenly, the thing shifted under him and he went flying off it's back. He landed hard on the ground on his back, and before he could move, the scorpion's tail came down and hit the ground with a loud thud, and a cloud of dust rose, blocking everyone's sight of Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome screeched, tearing out of the protection of the bushes. Miroku and Sango had been caught in a stunned moment, and didn't realize that the girl had thrown herself onto the battlefield. Sango was the first to react.
"Kagome! Get away from there!" She ran to catch up, but Kagome wasn't listening. All she could think of was Inuyasha, and whether or not the scorpion's tail had impaled him on it's way to the earth.
Inuyasha cautiously opened his eyes to find a purple, scaly, steel-like surface inches away form his nose. Gulping, he raised himself on an elbow and looked around before jumping to his feet.
The youkai stirred, but didn't move too much. It was tired, and it had quite a few bruises inflicted on it's person. Turning, it spotted a human girl running pell-mell toward it. Clicking it's pincers, it prepared to attack.
Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sound of the scorpion's pincers. What was it doing? Surely it had to be tired by now... Turning fully, he saw Kagome.
"Kagome, nooo!!!" And then everything became a blur.
Kagome blinked at the sound of Inuyasha's voice, turning her head frantically to find it's source, never ceasing in her running. Then the scorpion leapt at her, but not before she saw Inuyasha's fear-stricken face and a single tear roll down his cheek.
In the blink of an eye, she was in the air. Pain shot up her side like an arrow, cutting through her consciousness like a knife. With a final plea of help to Inuyasha, consisting only of his name, she surrendered herself to the surrounding darkness.
"Inuyasha it can't be that bad."
"It's that bad wench. It's that bad."
