Kat like Kagome
Chapter 1
The dark shadow swept forward towards Kagome aiming for her head, Inuyasha quickly stepped in front of it deflecting the blow with the transformed Tensaiga. "Hey Kagome, you okay?"
"Yea I'm fine… thanks, Inuyasha." She stepped forward drawing an arrow and notching it to the bow. She had never seen such a minor Demon put up this much of a fight. Huh it must be all those jewel shards, "INUYASH THE SHARDS ARE IN ITS HEAD IN SEVERAL PLACES."
Cursing under his breath" Damn this might be a tough shot" we've spent most the night fighting this thing and the others are beginning to tire too much. I have to kill this damn cat Demon before we become completely worn out. If it weren't for my sense of smell we would not have been able to keep track of it, it had already tried to sneak up on them several times. It had already injured Sango and Miroku and has knocked out Kilala. Miroku has not been able to use his Kaazuna because of the insects that keep showing up. Damn you Naraku, where ever you are, I will kill you.
The cat demon suddenly turns toward Miroku and Sango. In the dark night it was hard to tell but did the cat just flicker. It began charging at them full speed, but something was wrong, as Hirikotsue collides with it and it evaporates they realize that was a just a shadow. Then Inuyasha catches the sent and turns towards Kagome. "KAGOME, WATCH OUT IT'S BEHIND YOU."
As Kagome turns, the Demon leaps at her from the dark shadows, claws unsheathed. She was able to get her arrow in it but one claw caught her right arm tearing a gash from elbow to shoulder. She was knocked to the ground as Inuyasha came charging up to her full steam.
"KAGOME!"
"I'll be alright get it now while it is still wounded!"
As he reaches Kagome he looks over at the wounded demon, it was quickly regenerating the damage from the arrow wound Kagome inflicted. He yells over to Sango, "Can you aim above the demon?" Sango nods and readies Hirikotsu. Yelling "NOWWW!" they both unleashed their attacks on the demon as it ducks to avoid Hirikotsu, Inuyasha's Wind Scar catches it from the side tearing the demon apart leaving the head floating in mid air. Inuyasha quickly follows up with a slash to the now levitating head as his blade connects the demons vanishes leaving only the sacred jewel shards to fall to the ground. The Demon slayers all look at the spot quizzically wondering why the demon just disappeared and the Jewel shards as they fell to the ground and merged with each other. Inuyasha grabs the shards and quickly turns to Kagome who was slowly walking over. Her right arm was still heavily wounded from the battle; he dashed over to her as she began to collapse. Inuyasha then begins bandaging Kagome's arm and when he was done he put the jewel shards into her pocket, and picked her up. "I'm going ahead to Kaeda's place I'll meet you guys latter." As Inuyasha left Sango and Miroku begin looking for Kirlala and the small Kitsu, Shippo, they left to protect her, and hide her. As they begin calling the Names they hear a child's voice off to the left. "Where over here," then as they watch a medium size stone poped to reveal the two small demons sitting on the ground watching a top spin.
Miroku leaned forward smiling at the two of them, "Well you two look like you're having fun you ready to head back to Kaeda's hut?" Sango picks up Kilala and Shipo climbs on to Miroku's shoulder they turn to the east to head after Inuyasha and Kagome. They began the return journey the sun peak over the eastern horizon to show the remains of last nights battle and shine on the path ahead of them.
As they left the scene Naraku began to laugh as his puppet faded away he knew that the plan was perfect they did not suspect a thing. Soon Inuyasha will be dead along with his comrades and Kagome will be his prize along with the entire sacred Jewel.
The Shadow was following her every step she took it was there behind her closer than before and always growing in size. It always remained shapeless though she could swear that she saw a head shaped like a cat, and in the center of what appears to be the head are a clump of pink stone radiating a sickly light that casts no shadows. The two of them where alone in this grey expanse and she was always running from it; she could never leave it behind.
She awoke in the grey predawn light, she noticed the figure sitting against the closest wall and herd him relax. "Your finally awake, how are you feeling?"
"Thirsty, what happened? Last thing I remember was you striking that demon's head." She attempted to sit up but the pain in her right arm said other wise. She flopped back down onto the mat.
"HEY don't try to get up yet. You took a hard blow last night, your arm has a nasty gash in it and Kaeda says you have a few cracked ribs, so take it easy I'll be here. For now just get some more rest ill bring you some water." He got up and headed out side as she slid back into the dream and the shadow.
As Inuyasha left the hut and headed to the well he thinking about the fight and how he was not able to protect Kagome completely. Now she was injured and it was his fault he should have seen it coming. Why couldn't he be quicker? As he got to the well he began drawing the water up, that's when the small Kitsu appeared on his shoulder, "hey Inuyasha what you doing out here, I thought you where going to be inside watching Kagome?"
A quick strike and Shippo was on the ground nursing a large bump on his head while Inuyasha continued drawing the water. When he was done he quickly turned and left the still crying Kitsu on the ground.
The Grey had changed to amber but still the shadow was coming, closer than before. Also as it approached her it gained substance and form slowly it started to look like a large black cat ever growing closer. As she turned to look for it again she saw the gleaming fangs take shape opening into a vicious Maw the size of her head. Her foot catches on something and she falls forward catching herself with her arms but now she could feel the hot breath of her pursuer on her neck as she roles over the creature begins circling her like all cats just playing with her giving her the false hope of escape. She tries to run from it again but it bats her down to the ground with a paw. Then she hears the laughter beneath its growls the dark hideous laughter of a malicious being. Again she gets up only to be denied escape. Then it closes in behind her and bats her onto her stomach. Placing a crushing paw on her back and draws it's gaping mouth closer to her neck ready to end the hunt. A Blinding light suddenly erupts from the Pink stones in the Creatures head enveloping them both.
She was startled into wakefulness as Inuyasha held her tight, she noticed fresh scratches on his arms and saw the blood dripping from them. "Inuyasha are you alright?" she Gasped.
"huhuhu silly girl you where thrashing in your sleep you might have pulled the stitches in your arm. Relax now I'm her." Kaeda was there to she, gave Kagome a cup of water and said, "Ye have been disturbed in thy sleep, restless as a cat in water you have been. Drink this it will calm you." She then handed Kagome another cup with still steaming herbal tea. As Kagome drank it she could taste the bitter ingredients in it but the liquid relaxed her and she sat back against Inuyasha this time falling into a peaceful sleep.
In a small clearing the sunlight streaming down through the leaves a small girl steps into the light and begins spinning and laughing. After too many spins she falls back onto her back, and said "Lord Sesshoumaru this is wonderful, we should stay her for the day."
From the shadows a silky dark voice answers her, "Perhaps, Rin why do you wish to stay here anyway it is but a small clearing and there is nothing special about it." Behind him the imp Jaken appears screaming "No this is not a suitable clearing for Master Sesshoumaru."
Rin sits up and smiles at the both of them, "I just like the smell of this one and the sun looks so beautiful through the trees."
"All right then we will stay here tonight then", and he stepped into the clearing and sat down next to Rin.
Jaken gaped, "But…but…Yes Lord Sesshoumaru." He followed and also sat down in the grass.
They all sat there watching the sun go by through the trees, Rin got up several times often to gather flowers for chains. By now Sesshoumaru was covered by them and wondering why the Girl spent so much time on such meaningless trinkets.
As the Sun sank slowly the two men watched the three in the clearing preparing for their evening of fun. As they lit the demons bane they readied their talismans, these would hide them from any demons senses rendering them invisible to two of the three. They watched as the smoke Drifted up to the three victims and waited for it to take effect. The small one was on the ground first writhing like a worm as he lost conciseness. The larger one was on his feat fighting the effects of the incense, but even he could not hold off its powers for long. Collapsing to the ground his breath escaping as he landed in the solid command, "RUN!"
Rin was paralyzed with fear as she watched first Jaken then Lord Sesshoumoru, collapse in the meadow soon after that strange smoke came. As his last command came to her she screamed and leap forward onto her protector crying, "NO, I will not leave you my lord."
The club landed lightly still enough to drop the small girl, "hah this is almost robbery being paid so much for such an easy job." The two where joined by a third who appeared on the other side of the clearing, "hey can we just kill them all, I have not seen a good blood bath in a few days."
He was quickly reprimanded by the other men, "NO, our job is to take the girl and leave a note for the big demon. "Still one less Demon in the world is fine by me", no sooner than that the third man unsheathed his sword. He brought the blade down on the small prone figure cleaving him in two and burying the blade in the soft ground. As he yanked it free they saw the small girl stirring, the men quickly grabbed her tying her hands and feet and stuffed her in a barrel. A sutra was slapped onto it and the largest of them picked it up. They left the ransom note, and plenty of the demons bane burning to ensure a good time before the remaining figure would be able to move. The sun set slowly leaving Sesshoumaru in darkness and alone, why had they taken Rin and slain Jaken, these pathetic humans will pay for this offense with blood.
