Kagome & Sango
The bandits closed in even closer to them and Kagome and Sango readied themselves for battle.
"What do you want?" Yelled Sango.
The bandits ring leader- a tall, muscle-bound man with an eye-patch and a red and black striped headband – stepped forth.
"I think you know what we want," He said in a dark, evil voice.
Kagome's eyes opened wide as fear overtook her being.
"A-and what would that be?" She asked in a meek, shy voice.
"We want the sacred jewel shards, of course! We know you have them! Give 'em up or else we'll get violent."
A bunch of chuckles and sneers arose from the group of men as Kagome heaved a sigh of relief.
Sango stepped forth and readied her hiraikotsu. "We won't give up our jewel shards without a fight!"
Kagome readied her bow, but then she caught sight of the faint glow of a jewel shard behind the bandits. She paused for a second to concentrate on the area. The snake demon rose noiselessly out of the grass behind the bandits; eyeing them hungrily.
The bandits, completely oblivious to the monstrosity behind them, mocked the girls shocked expressions.
"What's the matter, ladies? Ya talk tough, but now that you're up against the big boys, you're nothin' but a couple of scared little g-ACK!"
The snake demon pierced through the bandit's back and injected him full of venom, killing him in seconds. The snake then whipped the corpse into the air and caught it in his mouth; swallowing him whole.
The group of bandits stared in shock for a second before immediately dispersing in an "every man for himself" fashion. The snake paid them no avail, as if they were not its intended target.
Kagome recovered in time to dodge a venom spray and retreat to a safe distance to ready her bow. Sango didn't have any experience with snake demons, as they are rare and formidable foes; no-one who has fought one or even seen one and lived to tell about it, which had led her to doubt their very existence.
She threw her hiraikotsu experimentally to see if it would have any effect on the demon, and watched as the snake's hard, scaly hide deflected her attack. She caught it and made a smoke cloud as a diversion so she could retreat to a safe distance.
Kagome, seeing that the snake was temporarily blinded, seized the opportunity and aimed her bow and shot the snake right where its heart would be, but that too bounced off and had no effect on the snake.
"Damn!" Kagome yelled in frustration. "How the hell can we kill this thing if a sacred arrow can't even hurt it?"
"I don't know," Replied Sango, narrowly avoiding another venom attack.
"But I hope Inuyasha gets here soon!"
Rose
Rose smiled as she finished jamming her manga collection into her carry-on bag; she had purposely chosen a 7-stop flight across Asia so she could refresh her Japanese, but also because she loved flying, especially when the airplane left the ground.
She had chosen a special outfit modeled after her favorite video game character, Kasumi from Dead-Or-Alive. She had wanted to dye her hair for the occasion, but her stylist told her if she tried to dye her hair again, it would fall out, which disappointed her a little. But she got over it and was actually quite pleased how well her black hair and red eye-contacts went with the ensemble.
She had also decided to wear her decorative daggers; one at her right shoulder and the other at her left hip. She was sure she was going to attract TSA attention anyway, so why not go all-out?
She had just finished packing her original xBox and assorted games when her doorbell rang.
'SHIT! The valet is here!' She glanced to her grandfather clock to see the time.
"10:30! HOLY SHIT, THE PLANE LEAVES IN AN HOUR!"
She rushed upstairs, shoved the remainder of her preselected clothes into her luggage bags and ran out the door.
The valet gave her a puzzled look as she hurriedly shoved everything into the limousine.
"Miss, you realize that you have a private jet arranged for you?"
She turned and looked at him incredulously. "I-I have a private j-jet?"
The valet grinned and replied smoothly, "Yes, your grandmother's will clearly states that you were to be picked up and brought to a private jet, which she bought especially for you; she says she trusts you will find it to your liking."
Rose looked at him and smiled brightly as a tear forced it's way down her face. She quickly threw herself at the valet and hugged him tightly.
"If you tell anyone about this," She whispered. "I will hunt down and kill everyone you love."
Inuyasha
Inuyasha sat up high on the tree branch watching the scene before him.
Kagome and Sango were fighting the snake demon; they had been for about 15 minutes.
Inuyasha was just trying to make up in his mind whether or not he should jump down and help. They seemed like they could hold out on their own, but had no chance of actually killing the thing.
He had plenty of experience fighting and killing snake demons; their only weakness was a scale, a small scale that can only be told apart from surrounding scales from it's almost intangibly darker hue. It was a weakness known only to few, snake demons, demons with sharper senses, such as dog, wolf, and especially cat demons, and the occasional human who figures it out but never successfully finds the scale in time to kill the snake before it kills him or her.
The snake itself was particularly weak; it was only a baby, probably 5-6 months old, but had found a jewel shard and somehow utilized its power to become an extraordinarily powerful (yet inexperienced) adult. It's move were slow, it's strikes like month-old molasses in comparison to elites, and it's venom attack couldn't even kill a mushroom the venom landed on; it only killed the bandit leader because it was it's first time tasting human blood, any experienced demon knows the first taste of human blood makes the most potent venom from even the weakest snake.
He had figured that by now, if he just jumped out of the tree and killed the snake demon, Kagome would be able to tell that he had been sitting there for a while and she would sit him into the Earth's core, so he had decided to wait until Kagome was so physically exhausted that she wouldn't be able to do anything but sleep for the rest of the day.
A few more minutes went by and Inuyasha could sense Kagome's heart rate was slowing and her breathing was labored, so he decided to jump out of now where and slash the demon to pieces .
He landed gracefully a few feet in front of the two women with parts of the snake demon falling all around them.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome said hazily. "Where were you…?" She said breathlessly.
Sango didn't even notice Inuyasha's appearance, she was resting on a nearby rock. She was fumbling around in a hidden pouch, brought a small lizard-like thing to her mouth and ate it and in seconds, her stamina returned. She got up and approached Inuyasha.
"H-how did you recover so quickly? You were physically exhausted!"
Sango took out a very small, lizard-shaped fruit and dangled in front of Inuyasha's face; it smelled a lot like wolves.
"It's called rakuen no doku, or poison of paradise. It's a special fruit that has a slow-acting poison that kills birds of paradise, but metabolizes quickly in humans and demons and gives us a very quick, but temporary, energy boost. We demon slayers use it so we can recover quickly so we can have an edge over our opponents."
"Ahh, that's why it smells like wolf, to attract the birds of paradise to eat it. W-wait!"
Sang was putting the fruit in Kagome's mouth and she was already recovering.
"Ahh, that feels bet- INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha braced himself to be sat but instead was struck sharply from behind by an unknown force and slammed into a tree about 100 feet away. Inuyasha peeled himself off the tree and turned to face the same snake he just killed.
"W-what! How is this… oh yeah." Inuyasha said as it dawned on him.
'The jewel shard embedded in the snake made him regenerate!'
Inuyasha quickly shifted into the offensive and attempted to strike, but the snake, which somehow increased in strength and agility 1000 times over, slammed him back to the ground and turned to retreat.
Inuyasha was stunned temporarily, but recovered in time to jump on the snakes back and hitch a ride. Kagome and Sango followed his lead and asked him what he was doing.
"If the snake's retreating, that must mean that must have somewhere to retreat to, meaning that who or whatever is controlling it is calling it back.
"But, Inuyasha. What if it brings us right to Naraku?"
"Heh, good! When I see 'im, I'll tear the bastard to shreds." He said, cracking his knuckles.
Kouga
Ginta, Hakkaku and a few of his remaining pack had just finished disposing of their brother's belongings', only hanging on to things that would keep the pack's strength up. Ginta returned to Kouga's section in the cave interior and saw Kouga staring into space in thought. He walked over and sat down next to his alpha.
"Is it done?" He asked in a hollow voice.
"Yeah, just finished…"
They sat in an awkward silence for a while until Ginta broke the silence.
"What does it feel like, to lose so many, from an alpha's perspective?" He questioned in a flirtatious sort of way.
Kouga hated it when Ginta referred to him as an alpha, especially in that voice; it reminded him of Ginta's beta status and all the things his demon did to him during mating season…
Kouga shook his head, mating season was actually just starting and he was already catching a slight hint Ginta's pheromones.
"K-Kouga?" Ginta sounded scared. He looked over and snatched his hand away and turned away slightly from his friend. He had a massive erection and he had been massaging Ginta's lower-back absentmindedly. It was a way of courting for wolf demons.
"Kouga?" Ginta said, putting his hand on Kouga's shoulder. "Do you want me to…" He said as he reached down to the furs that were covering Kouga's member. "I don't mind if…" Kouga shuddered in pleasure and tensed his muscles in an effort to keep himself from raping his friend. Ginta was suggesting a hand-job, maybe even a blowjob, just to keep him under control during the mating season, but Kouga wanted more, much much more.
Ginta wrapped his hand around Kouga's pulsing erection and started pumping. Kouga couldn't handle himself and shoved Ginta away, knocking him onto his hindquarters; he quickly stood and put his head against the wall. Ginta looked at Kouga with an expression of hurt on his face, and though Kouga couldn't see him, he could tell, because he was crying a little.
"I'm sorry, Ginta. It's just that-"
"I know, I know, you're having trouble controlling yourself." He jumped up to his feet rather sprightly, as if he was pleased about something.
"Maybe I could, you know, restrn you" He said, mumbling the last two words.
"What?"
Ginta sighed and spoke a little louder into Kouga's ear. "Restrain you."
Kouga looked at him for a second and shook his head. "No; absolutely not!"
"But why not? It would work wouldn't it?"
"No Ginta, it wouldn't. Don't you remember what happened last year? You suggested the same thing."
"I did?"
"Yeah, you probably don't remember because you suffered a hit to the head."
"What! How did that happen!"
"You restrained me to the wall and started, you know, doing your thing. Then I lost control, broke free and tried to take you. Luckily, Hakkaku heard you screaming and rescued you."
"Wait!" Ginta exclaimed. "So Hakkaku, like, knows?"
"Well, no, not exactly. He thinks that I had kidnapped you from your post and tried to rape you in my quarters."
"Whoa…"
"Yeah, it wasn't a pretty sight. He and I were fighting like crazy, you jumped in and an attack hit your head; you were knocked out cold for a couple days!" Kouga said with a chuckle.
"Hey! It's not funny!" Ginta said with a pout.
"Aw, c'mon, you gotta admit it's a little funny." Kouga said, laughing a little harder.
"Well, I guess, but-"
Shouting and yelling from outside the caves interrupted him. Kouga could smell a wolf from the Eastern tribe, perhaps the same one who had ridiculed him?
Kouga ran outside with Ginta tailing him.
The remaining of his tribe was surrounding a single demon.
Kouga approached the demon, who was being held up by the shoulders. He stank of death and blood.
"W-we did our best but we were no match. It- it was a trap… damn hanyou ambushed us."
Kouga examined the wolf more closely. There were deep gashes all over his chest and back, his face was bruised and his foot looked like it was hanging on by a thread, there was no way this wolf should still be breathing! (A/N: Hint hint…)
"I wa-was able to return with the aid of this Shikon jewel shard I was able to recover when it wasn't looking. But when it saw me take it , it began to attack me without mercy; I was able to get away by pulling it by the hair and rubbing dirt in its eyes." The demon pulled out a jewel shard buried in a nest of silver hair.
'Silver hair? Inuyasha!' The very though of the name made Kouga's blood boil and his teeth clench. 'That bastard is going to pay for this!'
Kouga took the jewel away from the injured wolf and he fell apart into a bloody pile of severed limbs and guts.
Kouga sniffed the hair, taking its scent deep inside him so he wouldn't forget it. He implanted the jewel shard in his wounded arm and ran off, following the scent his now dead brother had left behind.
Naraku
Naraku watched in satisfaction as Kouga put the jewel in his arm and sped off towards his castle. Everything was going to plan, and soon, he would never have to worry about Inuyasha and that wretch Kagome interfering ever again.
