Inuyasha sped through the night, following his nose. Her scent is getting stronger . . . I'm sure of it . . . it's mixed with salt . . . she's been crying . . . As the distance between him and the cliffs lessened, Inuyasha picked up on another scent . . . SHIT!!! There's a demon with her! I knew it!! The hanyou quickened his pace as he heard a scream pierce the air . . . Kagome! I'm coming . . . hold on . . . just hold on . . .
writhed and squirmed. Damnit . . . I shouldn't have stayed in that small cave . . . I shouldn't have ignored that damn tunnel . . . She glared at the disgusting creature. His scales were purple and green, his eyes a glowing red . . . lust for the jewel . . . I should've known . . . He was enormous, almost 40 feet in length. And to think, this is what I'll have to go through every single day for the rest of my life, she thought bitterly. "KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha? She looked down to find a very angry hanyou with a fang-shaped sword. "Inu . . . yasha . . "
eyes burned with hatred at the snake demon. His tail was wrapped around Kagome, squeezing her til she could no longer scream. Her face was blue, and when she tried to call out to him it barely came out as a whisper. The demon turned and faced Inuyasha. "A . . . hanyou?" It hissed. "What do you take me for? I will not be intimidated by some half breed . . . " With that final statement the snake lashed out at Inuyasha, bearing his poison-dripping fangs. Inuyasha jumped out of the way, avoiding the attack. Damnit this guy is fast . . . at this rate I won't be able to save Kagome!
who's body had become limp, watched the battle go on helplessly. I can't . . . breathe . . . I must do something . . . The jewel around her neck began to glow, pulsating energy through her body. The Shikon Jewel . . . it's helping me . . . Her energy renewed by the Jewel, she managed to free a hand from the grasp of the snake. "Take this, you disgusting reptile!" Kagome blasted the snake's body that held her captive with a purple light that appeared in her hand. "AGHHHHH!" The snake screamed, releasing the young miko. Kagome dropped to the ground and managed to land safely; the drop had only been a few feet. Unfortunately, her attack had once again wasted her energy. She tried to stand, wobbled, then fell back to the ground. Ack, I'm still weak . . . With that last thought, she fainted.
watched as Kagome freed herself from the snake's grasp. She's strong . . . I've never seen her do anything like that before . . . "INUYASHA!!!" He looked up to see Shippou, Miroku, and Sango atop Kirara, hovering over him. "Have you found Kagome?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha turned to the place Kagome had dropped, alarmed that she was unconcious. "Kagome!" He rushed over to the girl's side. Sango, Miroku, and Shippou jumped off Kirara and ran over. "She's still breathing," Sango said with a sigh of relief. "Shippou, Myouga, you stay here with Kagome."
hanyou was surprised to hear the name of his retainer at a battle. "Myouga? What are you doing here Old Man?"
yes well, I was feeding off of Kirara when everyone set out to search for Lady Kagome . . ." Myouga mumbled. "Yeah well, don't run off and leave Kagome, you understand me?" threatened Inuyasha. "Miroku, Sango, let's go."
three set off to finish the demon, who was furious at the injury Kagome had given him. "Puny humans . . . I will have the Shikon Jewel! Then I will finish off that pretentious woman . . ."
"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha challenged. "Well, you'll have to get through me first!" He leapt into the air. "Sankontessou!!" He slashed at the demon, leaving a huge gash on his neck. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango threw her weapon. snake demon easily deflected Hiraikotsu with his tail, sending it flying back to Sango. "SANGO!" Miroku cried, pulling her down to the ground before her boomerang hit her. Her weapon missed them, becoming lodged in a tree behind them. "Miroku, uh, arigatou," said the stunned demon slayer. Miroku grinned, "Anytime . . ." his smile turned into a frown. "Though I wish I had my wind tunnel right about now, to help Inuyasha out." The two watched as their hanyou friend became the only opponent against the demon. you will pay!!" the snake hissed. "I will have all of you for my dinner!" "We'll see about that!" Inuyasha retorted, unsheathing his tessaiga. "Kaze No Ki--" His attack was stopped short when the snake slapped his sword out of his hand with his tail. "And you're my first course!" The snake pounced on Inuyasha, his fang sinking into his left arm. "ARGH!" Inuyasha yelled, kicking the demon. Inuyasha fell back, but his arm was badly injured. I can't use the tessaiga in this condition . . . He glanced over at Miroku and Sango. Miroku no longer has his wind tunnel . . . and Sango's weapon has no effect . . .
Back with Kagome, the young miko regained conciousness. "Kagome! Are you alright?" Shippou asked, wide-eyed. "I'm fine, Shippou, don't worry about me." Her eyes scanned the battle. Inuyasha! He was on the ground, clutching his left arm, his tessaiga far from his reach. If I can only get tessaiga back to him . . . WATCH OUT!" Sango yelled. snake made his way to Inuyasha, venom dripping from his fangs. "This time you won't escape, hanyou!" felt the familiar energy rushing through her veins. The Shikon Jewel was once again dispensing it's power to her. She lifted her right arm and once again blasted the snake with purple energy. The snake screamed in agony. "You stupid girl!" The demon changed direction, now making his way toward Kagome. "The sooner I get rid of you, the sooner I get the Shikon Jewel!" modern girl's eyes widened with fright. Then, an unfamiliar voice entered her head, a voice she had never heard before. Trust in the jewel . . . it will help you harness the power in which to defeat this demon . . . Kagome stood, her legs still wobbly. I have to trust the jewel . . . if I don't, we'll all die . . . She watched as the snake enclosed the space between them. The young miko closed her eyes. Shikon Jewel . . . I need to protect my friends . . . give me the strength . . . The purple light around the jewel became immensly brighter as her hand closed over it, blinding the snake. "What is this?" it hissed in horror. others watched in awe as Kagome unleashed the power of the Jewel. She was engulfed in a purple light, the jewel pulsating. Suddenly she opened her eyes, staring straight at the writhing demon. She stretched out her hands in front of her, and a bow and a single arrow formed in her palms. It wasn't her ordinary gear, however. It was made of purple light, the energy of the Jewel. Drawing up the bow, she placed the arrow and aimed to shoot. watched Kagome the whole time, never taking his eyes off of her. She was still glowing a purple aura, but her presence seemed so pure. As he examined her closer, a thought popped into his head. Lady Kagome . . . it's like Midoriko come back to life . . . The similarities between young Kagome and the forger of the Shikon Jewel were uncanny. They give off the same power . . . had her bow and arrow poised, ready to strike. The energy from the jewel was overwhelming, but she had to finish this demon now. All I need is one shot . . . The snake demon was still squirming in pain from the light and his injuries. I have to find his weak spot . . . there! Her eyes spotted a single scar on his belly. Kagome pulled back the string, and fired.watched as Kagome destroyed the demon in one blow. With a final scream, the snake dissipated into a brilliant white light. The hanyou shielded his eyes, and when the light was gone, he turned to Kagome once more. He had never seen her like this, her hair blowing wildly, her eyes fierce. It's her . . . but it's not . . . I've only felt her energy at this level when she was facing Tsubaki . . . purple glow Kagome attained during battle slowly faded away. Soon, a very tired Kagome stood in front of them. I did it . . . everyone's safe . . . She turned to look at Miroku and Sango, who had taken refuge under a rock, and was staring at her with wide eyes. Her eyes searched once more, and found Inuyasha a few yards away. His arm was hurt, but he was alive. He too was staring at her with an amazed expression. I'm glad . . . everyone's . . . alri-- She never finished her thought, for she fainted once more.
was safely back in the hut. After Kagome fell, Inuyasha rushed to her side, and seeing that she only fainted, carried her back to Kaede's, where the old miko tended to her. Miroku, Sango, Shippou, Myouga, and Inuyasha were still amazed at the great abilities she had. Shippou and Myouga excitedly explained to Kaede what happened, while Sango sat by Kagome's bed side, ever so watchful over her friend. Inuyasha sat in a corner, pondering his thoughts. She was able to defeat that demon . . . she saved herself when I couldn't . . . while I sat helpless with an injured arm . . . he looked bitterly at his wound. Sango had wrapped it earlier, and it would heal in a few days. She used the Shikon Jewel when she knew I couldn't protect her . . . But if . . . I'm not . . . agh, not again. feeling his emotions rise once more, stood and walked out of the hut, accidentally running into Miroku. The monk instantly realized something was wrong with the hanyou by the way he didn't snap at him. "Inuyasha, what's the matter?" dog demon turned to his friend, his face etched with sorrow, pain, and agony. "I'm not strong enough . . . for her." He walked silently into the night toward Goshinboku, leaving a very stunned monk at the door.
