Not Again!
Chapter-1
The Time Demon
It was sunset. Kagome returned to hut she and Inuyasha shared, cradling a basket of herbs against her chest.
It had been almost a year now since she and Inuyasha had been reunited and had gotten married. Kagome had spent this time training with Kaede and learning all she should've known as a priestess. It took some time getting adjusted to living permanently in the Feudal Era, but Kagome was happy.
The hut was empty. Evidently, Inuyasha had not returned from work yet. Kagome set the herbs down and began cooking dinner.
About an hour later, Inuyasha returned. Kagome greeted him with a wide smile and served him dinner.
"Darn monk," Inuyasha grumbled. "You won't believe how much he charged those villagers for a simple exorcism. It's a total rip-off, I tell ya."
Kagome laughed. "Sounds like Miroku alright. I bet Sango gave him hell for that."
Inuyasha grinned. "Yeah, she did. Went totally berserk."
"Now, why am I not surprised?" Kagome mused. "When's Shippo coming back, by the way?"
"The day-after-tomorrow," Inuyasha replied indifferently, shoving spoonfuls of stew into his mouth. "Little runt'll probably have more tricks up his sleeve."
"Now, now," Kagome chided. "He's not so little anymore, you know. It's been about 4 years already."
"Keh," Inuyasha scoffed. "4 years ain't nothing to a half-demon, let alone a full-blooded demon like him. It'll probably take him another 100 years to grow up properly."
"Maybe," Kagome said with a cheeky smile. "But sometimes I think that Shippo is more mature than you and Miroku combined."
Inuyasha was in the process of glaring at Kagome a loud commotion sounded outside and his nose twitched.
"I smell a demon," Inuyasha growled. "C'mon."
Kagome picked up her bow and arrows and ran after Inuyasha. They were shortly joined by Miroku and Kirara. Sango had stayed back to look after the children.
"I can sense it's demonic aura," Miroku said, his voice tense. "It's coming from the forest."
"Let's go then!" Inuyasha snapped. Kagome got onto his back and they ran/flew at top speed towards the forest.
Upon reaching, they found that the demon was a huge, giant like creature. Its flesh was green in colour and it had three eyes. There was a single horn on its head. It was near the Bone Eater's Well.
"Hold on," Miroku muttered. "I've seen that demon before-it's a time demon!"
"A what?" Inuyasha repeated.
"It can repel the attacks of demons by sending them into time," Miroku explained. "And despite its large size, it can use Time to make itself faster."
"Then how do we fight it?"
"It cannot repel spiritual power," Miroku replied. "You'd better let Kagome and I take care of this one, Inuyasha."
The half-demon in question looked frustrated but let Kagome of his back anyway. The raven-haired priestess stepped forward and fired a sacred arrow at the demon while Miroku used his sutras.
The demon roared in pain and struck out. It emitted a strange blue light. Miroku jumped out of the way, but Kagome wasn't so lucky.
The light struck her chest. Kagome found herself being flung backwards. She heard Inuyasha cry out in alarm as she tumbled head-first into te Bone-Eaters Well.
A strange purple light surrounded her and the world turned to darkness.
