The Foreign Exchange Student

Ch. 4 proving herself

Last time

"Why should we bring her with us. She's just a weak human. She's just going to get in my way."

"I am not a 'weak human' as you call it."

"Well then prove it," he said back to her. I look of triumph on his face. 'There's no way she can prove it.'

"O.K. I will," Ashley says as they all hear the roar of a demon from the distance.

This time

Everyone heard the roar and jumped up into a fighting stance. Inuyasha sniffed the air and started running towards the village with everyone hurrying off after him. "I can smell blood!!" He yelled as they ran to the village.

When they got there they saw a giant demon standing by one of the huts. He looked like he was going to eat a child that was in his hands. Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and swung it at him but the demon knocked it out of his hands before he got to strike.

Sango pulled out her boomerang bone (sorry I don't know how to spell its real name.) and threw it at the demon. A strong wind picked it up and it was thrown back at Sango. It hit her hard and she was thrown back into Miroku. They both landed on the ground with a thud and were unconscious.

Kagome pulled out an arrow and got it ready to shoot. The demon saw her and swung a hand at her. Inuyasha jumped in front of her to block the force from the blow. They were thrown backwards into a cliff face. Kagome hit her head-on the rock and was knocked out. So now all that was left were Ashley and Inuyasha (Shippo was off hiding and Kilala was well...away somewhere)

Just then Kagura cane out of the shadows. She walked over to the demon and stood next to him. She then spoke to Inuyasha, "I see you have met my new brother. He will destroy you and all your friends to." She backed up a little and wove her fan in a circular motion. Strong winds came from nowhere. The winds were going in a circular motion and surrounding Inuyasha. They were so strong that he couldn't move. He was frozen in his place. Once he noticed this he started to curse at Kagura to let him go.

Ashley looked around. She was the only one left. She stuck her hand in her pocket to get her wand. 'I can finish this easy with a simple charm,' she thought to herself. 'O shit,' she thought when she noticed that her wand was not there. 'It must still be in my bag.'

Ashley god a little frightened and looked around for something to protect herself with. There was a sword on the ground one of the villagers had dropped. She looked back at the demon to see him coming towards her. He swiped his big, clawed hand towards her but she managed to dodge it. She rolled over by the sword and picked it up. It was a little heavy for her but she had no other choice.

She stood and readied herself with the sword. The demon swiped at her again and she swung the sword hard. It cut his hand a little but didn't do much damage. He swiped again and this time he hit her into the same cliff face that Kagome was knocked out by. She managed to not pass out though. She got back up and got ready again. This time when the demon swung for her she was able to flip out of the way. 'Damn, I have to end this soon,' she thought to herself while she dodged another attack.

This time when the demon lunged at her she jammed the sword through the roof of his mouth. Instantly she was covered in blood from the demon. She pulled the sword out of the demons mouth. When she pulled back one of the demons fangs got caught in her arm.

She felt the fang but still bulled her arm out, fang and all. She sat down and dropped the sword. She saw the demon sway to a halt then fall on the ground not moving. She pulled the fang out of her arm with a little gasp of pain. She saw Kagura still standing there looking at her with curiosity. Kagura looked Ashley in the eye and said, "I don't know what you are but I will find out." She pulled her feather out of her hair and flew away.

Ash soon as Kagura was gone Inuyasha was able to move again. He looked at Ashley for a second before running over to Kagome. He shook her gently to wake her. "Kagome, Kagome, please wake up." Kagome started to stir a little. Then she opened her eyes and looked up at Inuyasha.

"What happened?" she asked looking around. She could see Sango and Miroku starting to come to. Then she looked over at Ashley who had passed out. "O god what happened to her?" Kagome said and then pushed Inuyasha out of the way and went over to Ashley. She sat down next to her and looked at her arm where the demon's fang had been. "Inuyasha how did this happen to her?" She asked again.

"She was fighting the demon and got hurt," Inuyasha said eventually. "I couldn't move. Kagura was here and had me in some kind of wind spell." He looked at Ashley was started to come round. She sat up and rubber her arm a little. "Are you o.k.? Ashley?" Kagome asked her with a little hint of worry in her voice.

"Yeah I'm fine. I've had much worse." Kagome decided not to ask about when she had been hurt worse then this.

"Well I still need to bandage that wound. It is deep," Kagome said while getting up and looking around a little. "O yeah my bag is back in the clearing. I will have to bandage it later." Ashley sighed and just nodded her head.

Miroku and Sango walked over and Miroku talked to Inuyasha. "So does this mean that she has proven that she's not going to slow us down? She seems like good help to the group." Inuyasha just turned around muttering under his breath. "Yeah I guess so, but she batter stay useful."

Ashley looked at Kagome and smiled. She was really happy for finally being accepted into a group of people. It had been so long since she had real friends.
