The saga continues
-------
By sense of smell alone InuYasha was able to find the way back to the town. By now it the sun was setting behind their backs, as the buildings came into view, InuYasha knew something was wrong.
He could smell vague traces of demon, and blood. Human blood. People were still moving. There was the crackling of a fire. InuYasha walked boldly into the center of town.
There were two groups of humans. Both camps were armed with guns and knives. A house was burning. In-between them a man lie face down, blood staining the soil. The scent of the demon was coming from one of the groups.
The other group turned at his arrival. "The half demon is here!"
"What!?" "Shit! He's all we need!" "Fuck! Split! We can't take him too!" The group ran off into the village. InuYasha spat in their direction.
The group smelling of demons turned slowly. Too slowly. InuYasha rushed into them. He slammed into the middle of the group, punching some one in the face hard enough to flip them over.
The whole group seemed to bend toward him. His feet landed on something that felt like the invisible spider web the girl had been ranting about. It snapped under his foot. He shifted his weight right, elbowing someone hard in the jaw. He kept feeling the spider webs snap where ever he moved.
A knife came at him. InuYasha grabbed the arm and drew the man forward, slamming his knee into it's gut. He let him drop as he dodged a swipe from something sharp. He kicked a knee cap in his vision, his ears could hear the bones cracking.
As he came up a face came into his vision, he swung his left out wards. Something in the melee passed in front of his eyes. He felt his hand come into contact with bone. He kicked blindly and the body that blocked his vision, and was rewarded with solid contact before the body flew limply into a nearby house.
He spun around in a quick 360, no body was close to him. They were all down. He straightened up. The bodies began to rise up in a circle around him. "What the hell!" He swore, as they floated above the ground. Some hang limply by one shoulder or arm, as if by a string. A leg dangled uselessly in air below where InuYasha had snapped it.
InuYasha flicked his wrist, bringing the switch blade into hand. He crouched and prepared to strike. "INUYASHA!" his head snapped toward the girl. "Now's not the time!" "Above their heads! There are wires above their heads!"
Some one whistled toward him. InuYasha spun and drove his elbow upwards into his jaw. Impossibly, he rose again. InuYasha shifted his stance slightly. His ankle pushed back something taught. He looked down at the empty space that had caused an indent in his jeans in a straight line. "Above their heads!" the girl called again.
InuYasha swung and felt the blade slice through something. The man dropped limp to the ground. InuYasha leapt at the first thing in his sight, slashing in an arc above his head. Someone charged him from behind. He spun cutting the same pattern to the same result. InuYasha smiled. It was over now.
He didn't wait for the last three to attack him. There was a flash of light and it was over. The switch went back into his sleeve. InuYasha sniffed the air. The demon was still out there, and he could track it.
"The hair, it's the same from the forest!" The girl exclaimed, running up to him. "Yeah, I know." InuYasha said walking over to one of the fallen humans. He fished around for a moment then returned to the girl, pressing a pistol into her hand. She looked at him in confusion. "It's still out there, and we're going after it."
InuYasha lifted her onto his back and set off into the forest after the scent. They had been traveling about five minutes above the tree tops when the girl spoke up. "InuYasha, why did those people run when you showed up?" 'What is this girl, stupid?' InuYasha thought to him self in shock. "Because I'm a half-demon." He said like he was explaining it to a small child. "But your one of the good guys.." 'What the fuck!?' InuYasha wondered to him self. "Wrong. I'm a half-demon." He replied blandly.
Kagome noticed a large tendril of hair shadowing them on the ground. As she watched it slowly began to rise up towards them. "InuYasha! Below us!" "What?" It's cover blown it raced up at them. "Move!" she yelled, tugging on his right ear. InuYasha immediately drove right as the hair passed through the air. "WHAT THE FUCK?" He yelled in rage, but figured it out when he saw the effect of the hair crashing back to earth.
'There's more hair! It's everywhere!' Kagome noted in fright. One rushed at them. "Left!" InuYasha split left. "Up!" Again InuYasha moved in time to save them from what ever fate awaits one hit by a large tendril of demon hair.
"Behind us! Left! Up again!" Kagome yelled as the hair became more frequent. InuYasha was jinking through out the sky. "Below us!" InuYasha launched him self high into the air. At the apex of the jump, Kagome spotted a ravine filled with the same mountain of hair they had encountered before.
"InuYasha, head for that ravine!" She yelled over the whistling air and crashing hair. InuYasha sped off in that direction.
As they neared the ravine, the hair shied away. When finally the last of it was gone, InuYasha set down Kagome down on a bluff over looking the ravine. "Stay here and keep quiet girl." He instructed before leaping at the woman he saw he saw floating above the air. The whole area reeked of demon.
He flicked the switch open. At the sound he heard something whistling through the air at him.
Kagome watched the hair rush at InuYasha and surround him. It held his limbs steady while the woman jumped to a strand of hair in front of him.
InuYasha stared up at the demon in anger, pulling at the strands that held him in place. She smiled then spoke up. "So, you're the half demon with the pretty silver hair whose been ruining my plans." "Yeah? What of it?" InuYasha growled, trying to rip free. "Nothing much, but do try to hold still dear, I have to make this cut very precise." She said, pulling a dagger from her hip. InuYasha twisted his wrist around and felt the blade snag on something.
He sliced through the hair holding him in place as she leapt at him. He threw his weight to the side as she flew past him. As she passed InuYasha slashed her across the back.
She landed on another wire dumb founded as InuYasha cut him self free. He leapt at her as the hair rushed in on him. Again he was caught feet from his target. As he watched, the cut on her back healed before his eyes.
Kagome watched the hair capture InuYasha again and fly past the woman's back. 'I have to do something, InuYasha can't avoid the hair on his own.' She thought, moving to the edge of the bluff. It was about fifteen feet down, but sloped and she could slide down. She kept that option in mind as she looked at the pistol in her hand. She knew she couldn't shoot from this far with out endangering InuYasha. She stared at the fight, waiting for the next turn of events.
"Your making this hard on your self doggy." The demon taunted. InuYasha's fist tightened around the blade. "Go to hell!" He swore at her.
"Now now, what kind of language is that?" She asked with a smirk raising the dagger.
InuYasha had again found the hair holding his wrist with the knife and cut him self free before the demon reached him. As she passed wide of him the blade glowed yellow and severed her arm. She howled in pain and InuYasha plummeted to the ground.
He the gravel in time to see the demon's arm reattach it's self.
'Fuck..' He swore to him self. The woman turned to him. "Well well, looks like the doggy has a little spirit. I may have a new pet." She smirked and closed the distance between them, fast. Too fast.
InuYasha was knocked on his back by the collision as the dagger drove into his shoulder, forcing him to drop the blade.
Kagome gasped. 'Oh shit, oh shit, I gotta do something!' She moved to the edge of the bluff and prepared to slide down.
InuYasha arm twitched in pain as she twisted the knife. He snarled at her. She jerked the knife clean of his arm and his left hand grasped the wound. She stood up arrogantly, and licked his blood off the blade. "Like blood do ya?" InuYasha smirked as he whipped his hand through the air, sending a stream of blood into her eyes.
She stumbled back blindly. InuYasha grabbed the knife and drove into into her chest. Her body went rigid. "Now now, doggies shouldn't be attacking their masters." She taunted, kicking him hard in the chest and sending him sprawling.
InuYasha rolled onto his feet in time to see the demon raise the dagger. The whole world seemed to freeze as he stared into her brown eyes. She smiled slightly in anticipation. 'Fuck.'
A gun shot cut through the air. The demons' heads snapped to the sound and saw Kagome standing in the open, pistol in her hand. "Back off! Or the next shot will-" Kagome was cut off as she stepped back to avoid a tangle of hair, tripping and falling back into a depression in the ground as the hair slammed down.
"Well now, wasn't that inconvientent?" the woman asked, turning back to InuYasha who had dragged him self to his feet. He wasn't concerned about Kagome. With out the hair to block his view he had seen her trip backwards. 'Sides, he couldn't smell her blood.
Kagome looked around the depression she had fallen into. The thing was filled with skulls! She shot to her feet and looked around for a way out. It was too far up for her to jump. Something hit her, the shard wasn't with the demon, it was in this hole!
She looked around, the depression rose up. She followed it up, looking for the shard. There was a small pile of skulls fifteen feet ahead of her, and above it, a single red skull. 'That's where the jewel is.'
The demon's's head snapped away from InuYasha. He followed her gaze. 'Dammit! Can't that girl keep her head down!?' The demon jumped away from him, toward the girl.
The demon landed right in front of Kagome, sending pieces of skulls flying from out beneath her feet. Kagome fell back and stared up in fear. The demon smiled wickedly, a light shining in her eyes as she spun the dagger in and slowly advanced. "Now now girl, I'm trying to train my new pet, unless you want to join him, I need you to stop interfering."
T he dagger was raised. Kagome's heart stopped. She closed her eyes. She heard something tear and a howl of pain. Something clattered to the ground.
She opened her eyes. The dagger was on the ground. Blood was running down the demon's arm from the wrist, where InuYasha's knife was protruding from just below her palm.
As soon as he had thrown the knife InuYasha sprinted toward the demon. He heard the hair split the air as in came towards him and jumped aside. Dust rushed up where the ground cracked under the weight.
He took one final leap and punched the demon, knocking her back. She skidded along the ground, InuYasha leapt at the form on the ground. She rolled away as he slammed into the earth only inches away, kicking him back as she flipped to her feet.
Kagome stumbled to her feet and ran to the red skull while the demon was distracted. The shard was imbedded in it's forehead. She tried desperately to pry it loose.
InuYasha blocked a right hook with his left hand and used his right to rip the knife from the demon's wrist. He jammed it hard into her gut. She howled in pain and kicked him hard in the stomach. the air was expelled from his lungs as he doubled over. Something came down hard on the back of his neck, knocking him down.
Kagome frantically tried to get a nail in between the shard and skull. It was in too tight. She tried one more time, her nail cracking.
InuYasha kicked the demons legs out from under her and flipped up. He breathed heavily, grasping the wound on his shoulder. The demon got up calmly. She wasn't even tired. She pulled the knife out of her stomach and held it behind her head, ready to strike.
Kagome's head snapped side to side, searching for the gun. She found it at the bottom of the depression and raced toward it.
The knife snapped at his head. He grabbed her wrist and pushed it away from him before his fist made contact with her head. She spun around from the blow, using the momentum from the blow to bring her heel up and into InuYasha's jaw.
Kagome tripped on a skull on her way up and pain shot through her arm. She looked up, the skull was close. She reached for the skull as she felt blood begin to pool on her inner arm. She pulled it close and placed the the gun against it's temple.
InuYasha stopped the knife and inch from his face. He tripped backwards, kicking the demon into the air with both feet as he fell. She landed on one of her hairs. It stretched like a bow string as she twisted to bring the knife back towards him.
A gun shot rang through the air. The demon's eyes widened in shock. InuYasha watched as she disinigrated into thin air. The knife dropped through the air, embedding it's self in the ground up to the hilt as her clothes floated down.
I nuYasha wearily pushed him self to his feet. He smelt the air. 'Fuck, she's bleeding.' He thought turing towards the smell of human blood. She was on the ground. 'Fuck! Did I miss something!?'
"Kagome! Okay over there!?" He yelled. Kagome pushed her self to her feet uncertainly. "Yeah.. I'm fine.. just a little cut." She called back. InuYasha leapt over to her.
The first thing she noticed was the blood on his shoulder. "Oh God, are you okay!?" "Yeah, I'm fine." InuYasha answered irritably, looking over the cut on her arm.
Kagome was about to mention something about InuYasha remembering her name, but was cut off when InuYasha spoke. "Got a tissue?" "Huh? Yeah, somewhere.." Kagome muttered searching in her pocket. "Here ya go." She said handing it over.
She was surprised to say the least when InuYasha grabbed her arm and wiped it clear of blood. "I don't want blood on my jacket." He offered, turning around and kneeling so she could climb on his back for the trip home.
