Chapter five:
--
Shippo rode on Kagome's shoulder as they traveled down the road. When they neared a village, Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. Sango was walking beside her and stopped with her.
"Is something wrong Kagome? You've been very quiet today."
Kagome faced her, "Yeah." Adding, "It's very slight, but I'm sure I sense a jewel shard nearby."
Miroku and Inuyasha were a foot ahead of the girls. Inuyasha's ears twitched as he listened to their conversation. "Are you sure Kagome?"
She nodded.
"Which way?" Inuyasha asked, as he and Miroku both turned to face the girls.
"There," Kagome held up her arm and pointed to the west, toward the village.
Inuyasha nodded. "Right, let's go!" and the small group of companions ran towards the direction the young priestess had indicated.
They ran into the village and stared in horror at the bodies strewn everywhere and the blood soaked ground.
Miroku panted, "What a massacre."
"Hey, is anybody alive?" Shippo hollered, looking around beside his companions.
Sango stared at the various paw prints embedded into the dirt. "This was done by a pack of wolves?" she asked shocked.
Shippo yelled, "They're tracks are all over the place!"
Miroku nodded. "That means there were a great number of them." He turned to Sango. "Do you think they were possessed by the jewel shard that Kagome sensed?"
Inuyasha responded. "Probably, after all, this slaughter has demon written all over it."
Shippo squeaked and jumped into Kagome's arms, and pointed a shaky finger toward the snarling wolves approaching from the left. "Look!"
Sango got into her fighting stance and clutched Hiraikotsu in her hands. "They're surrounding us!"
Miroku clutched his staff, raising it into a defensive position. "What do we do now Inuyasha?"
Kirara guarded the group's backs, putting her back toward Sango.
Inuyasha cracked his claws. "Let's teach them a lesson." He said, before raking his claw toward the first group of wolves. His claws cut deeply into three wolves, which fell over bleeding from the deep lacerations on their bodies.
A larger group of six wolves, charged towards Inuyasha with their fangs bared.
Inuyasha scoffed, "They're strays. It looks like their leader isn't even here. They're useless unless they're in a pack. Let's finish them of guys!" His claws swiped several more times, sending the wolves to the ground with blood gushing from their sides and chests.
The remaining half of the wolves left unscathed gathered on a small hill and began howling in unison, as if calling out to someone.
Shippo clung to Kagome asking, "What are they doing that for?"
Miroku concluded, "They're calling for their comrades." And moved his legs wider apart, preparing for an attack.
Inuyasha snorted, "Fine, let them come." He cracked his claws again.
Sango jumped back a foot from the group and readied her Hiraikotsu, stretching her legs into a wider stance, preparing to swing her weapon if more showed up.
As the wolves howls echoed off the surrounding hills, Kagome gasped.
"I can sense the power of a sacred jewel shard, and it's coming really fast!"
She pointed to where the wolves had gathered, and noticed a small tornado heading directly towards them. "There!"
As soon as the wind died down, a man with pointed ears and a fur mini skirt slid across the ground on his feet. He stopped less than five feet from the Inutachi.
As the wolves surrounded him, howling at him, his eyes darted from one wolf to the next and then narrowed at Inuyasha.
"That guy just blew right out of the tornado," Shippo said both shocked and a little scared.
The strange man stepped forward. "Just who are you? You better explain while the hell you are killing my wolves." His fists tightened by his sides. "I'm waiting."
Kagome's eyes widened and she took an involuntary step backwards, clutching Shippo protectively. She thought, "Three shards, he has one in his right up and one in each leg."
Shippo swallowed nervously and thought, 'I don't like this guy.' He clutched tighter to Kagome, like a kit would his mother when scared.
Kirara watched the newcomer warily and thought, 'I sense a battle coming.' The hair on her back raised and she hissed.
Koga's eyes darted around taking in all the dead wolves. He glared at Inuyasha. "How dare you? Why did you slaughter my underlings?"
Kagome said, "Inuyasha watch out, he has three shards - "
Inuyasha snorted. "So you're the one controlling this blood thirsty pack." His eyes narrowed at the other male demon, and his fist tightened.
The wolf leader crossed his arms over his chest. "And you're their executioner? Damn you!" He vowed, "You'll pay for these murders, and you will pay with your lives."
Inuyasha stepped between his group and the threat. "Go on try it! You're no innocent either! How many innocent people have you and your mongrels killed?" He sneered up his nose. "You reek of human blood."
The male fired back. "They needed to eat. Got a problem with that Mutt Face? No wait, that'd be an insult to canines all over, and you smell much worse!"
Inuyasha huffed. "Did you just call me a mutt?"
The cocky male smirked. "Got a problem with it dog shit?" He pinched his nose. "Man you really stink."
Inuyasha scoffed. "Don't like my smell?" He pulled out his sword. "Then maybe I'll solve your problem by slicing off your nose!" He lifted the Tetsuiga and jumped into the air, aiming for the wolf demon.
The wolf demon smirked and jumped into the air twirling to avoid the sword, then came down with a heel kick aimed for the hanyou, which missed.
Inuyasha swung again, but ended up with a foot in his face, sending him across the ground a few feet.
The others watched with wide eyes.
"Unreal!" Miroku exclaimed.
Sango nodded. "He's fast."
Kagome yelled. "Inuyasha watch out! He's using the power of the jewels. They're on his right arm and both legs!"
The demon he was fighting stared towards her surprised.
Inuyasha sat on the ground behind Tetsuiga. "So why didn't you say so earlier?"
Using the sword to lift himself up Inuyasha faced the wolf leader and taunted, "I thought you were acting pretty tough, but it's only because you have jewel shards." He smirked and challenged, "You don't have any power on your own, do you?"
The demon argued back, "You got to know how to use the power, you whining whelp!"
As they continued arguing, Miroku commented, "They're well matched in foul behavior."
Sango announced, "He's a wolf demon."
Miroku asked, "How do you know that? Have you run into them before?"
"No, but I've heard about them from other demon slayers. Although they look human, they're said to be no different than the wolves they command." Sango answered the monk's question."
The demon said, "I'm Koga, the new leader of the wolf demon tribe, and you're executioner!" moving to kick towards Inuyasha again.
The wolves started circling the slayer, monk, priestess, and two smaller demons, growling.
Shippo's eyes widened and his heart beat frantically in his chest, while he stood beside Kirara. He pointed to the wolves. "They're surrounding us again, look!"
Sango ordered, "Kirara!" The fire neko nodded and stared at the wolves, moving several feet in front of her group. She transformed to her larger size and roared, baring her fangs to the wolves.
The wolves tucked their tails and whimpered running away.
Shippo hopped onto Kirara's back and pet her between the ears. "Good girl Kirara," he cooed affectionately.
He smiled at Sango and Miroku. "Look, they ran away with their tails between their legs." He chuckled and hugged Kirara's neck. "The rest is up to Inuyasha."
Everyone's eyes went back to the pair of fighting demons and they watched the battle continue.
