1) Not expected, unforeseen, surprising development.
Kagome was determined. Nothing could destroy her current mind-set. She was focused.
She lifted her bow once more, aimed it for just over the top of that tree, and SWISH. The arrow left her reach.
She watched as the arrow glowed with her purification powers, it shone brighter than ever. This time it was going to be perfect! She could feel it.
The arrow landed deep in the soil…not even touching the tree she aimed for.
"Not again." She mumbled.
She looked sympathetically at Kirara. "Wanna help me again?"
The cat demon jumped into action once more and retrieved the arrow.
Kagome bent down to take the arrow out of her mouth, "Thanks so much for helping me. I can't seem to master long ranged shots at all."
Kirara rubbed herself against her arm as if to say, "Don't worry, It's okay to be an epic failure."
"One more time, I promise" Kagome said more to herself than anyone else.
She thought of Inuyasha and all the others taking a break from travelling. She had asked for some 'alone time' to train and borrowed Kirara to help.
She aimed for the tree again, pouring all strength she had left in her arrow.
SWISH.
It flew over the tree, and into a dense forest. Kagome didn't hear the solid sound of it plunging into the soil. But instead heard an angry snarl…and then silence.
"Oh no!" Kagome wailed, sadness tugging at her heart. Her first thoughts were of a hopeless weak demon, minding its own business when a random arrow fell through the sky and wounded it.
"Kiara, find where my arrow landed!" She cried as she jumped unto her now, transformed back.
Kirara flew above the treetops and Kagome scanned the forest floor for something out of the ordinary.
A white figure could barely be seen with all the green forestry, but it was all Kagome needed to scream, "THERE!!"
When Kagome landed, she found herself staring at Sesshoumaru. Sprawled out on the forest floor.
Her arrow had hit him directly in his lower arm. Blood flowed freely out of the wound, but it wasn't the only wound he had. Many more were scattered about his body. His armor had completely fallen off and he seemed to be in a deep sleep, or just knocked out. Her arrow could never amount to THAT much damage.
Kagome stepped forward.
With the amount of blood around his body, she wouldn't give him much time to survive. Could a demon as strong as him recover?
She looked back at Kirara. "We have to help him."
The cat demon backed away. She had learned not to trust Sesshoumaru.
Kagome pleaded with Kirara until she gave in. They soon found themselves flying once again. This time with extra weight.
Kagome knew better than to fly back to Inuyasha, he would only start to plan Sesshoumaru's funeral. And she knew couldn't help him herself.
"Fly to the nearest village, and hurry, he's heavier than a ton of bricks."
