Sorra's Pov
You ran. Your legs were numb and your lungs were on fire. You weren't getting out of this without injury. Looking at your sister beside you, tiring and slowing, gave you more determination. You grabbed her hand.
You: "Come on, Kagome. I'm not going to let us die on Mom and Sota."
She looked up and like she was given more energy she pushed herself forward. You smiled at her own motivation. But your lips formed a straight line as from behind you, you could see the dark shadow of the demon. Mistress Centipede. The creature had followed you through the well which took you from your world to that of feudal Japan. You looked back ahead to the approaching trees.
Kagome gave a squeak as she fell to the ground after tripping on a root. The demon was closing in. You pivoted and gathered Kagome in your arms. Then continued leaping over roots that covered the forest floor. As you approached a clearing something like a marble ball hit you at the center of your back. You grunted and flew forward, Kagome screaming in your arms. You landed face first in to the dirt, but were still propelled forward. You rolled onto your back to give Kagome air. Your back slid across the ground in your leather jacket. The dust covered your attackers position. Your head unexpectedly hit a tree. With another groan of pain you sat up and released Kagome. You reached behind you, to feel your back. You feel a large stick on your back. You pulled it off. It wasn't a stick but the bow you had taken from Kaede's home. You stood, everything was sore and you could feel it. Kagome was sitting at your feet. You had no arrows. The bow was useless, but you pulled out your pocket knife out of your shoe.
?: "Well Kikiyo you certainly haven't gotten any better since we last fought. Get up and go kill her."
You looked up behind you to see the boy from earlier staring at Kagome, who was holding herself and breathing deeply. He was alive? Living dead? Questions later.
You: "Shut up and leave her alone."
He looked at you as an annoyance.
Boy: "Who are you?"
You: "I'm her sister." You indicated Kagome.
Boy: "Yeah right. Kikiyo has only one sister and you sure aren't Kaede."
You: "Good thing I'm not Kikiyo's sister."
Boy: "WHAT? You just said that you were her sister."
You: "Kagome is my sister. I'm Sorra."
He snorted.
Boy: "Well, Sorra. You won't be able to beat a demon with that scrawny little blade."
You looked down at your pocketknife. He was right. It was undoubtedly after Kagome. The only way to make her go away was if Kagome wasn't here. But you wouldn't make it to the well and you couldn't risk letting her through to your era. You looked at the boy who was now staring coldly at you. He was held in place more by roots that wrapped around him, rather than the small arrow shaft protruding from his shoulder. Looking at the roots you felt an idea spark. You laid your blade aside and grabbed Kagome's shoulder.
You: "Come on, Kagome."
You led her to the large roots projecting from the ground. The boy watched as you took your sister to the center of where the roots converged. You laid her flat across the ground. With a handful of freshly ripped up earth you sprinkled it along your sister, trying to cover her scent.
You: "Kagome I want you to stay here. Do nothing until I tell you otherwise. Alright?"
She started crying. You couldn't talk to her. You stood up and reentered the clearing the boy eyeing you scrutinizingly.
You: "So what's your name?"
Boy: "Inuyasha."
The name was so familiar. Like you'd known it your whole life but when you tried to match it with anyone you knew it was wrong. Maybe the soul of Kikiyo within you knew him (No duh).
You: "Nice name. Any ideas on how to stop this demon?"
Inuyasha: "Give Kikiyo a bow and arrow. She'll-"
You: "That's not Kikiyo. My sister looks like her. Your precious Kikiyo is dead."
His eyes actually widened in amazement. You wanted the current situation to be nothing more than a dream. You wanted to be home with your mother, brother, and grandfather. You wanted to celebrate your birthday with your sister. You…were starting to sound selfish and pathetic. You held your head high as the demon slid into view.
Demon: "So there you are. I wondered how far you got after I blasted you. Now…where is the jewel?"
You: "I won't let you have it."
You honestly had no clue why she thought you had the jewel, but she wasn't getting her grubby mits on it.
Demon: "Come now, Kikiyo. Give it to me."
How did she know that you were a part of Kikiyo?
You: "I'm not Kikiyo."
Demon: "Oh, but you are. I saw you change into her while in the bridge between worlds. You are the priestess Kikiyo."
You had changed between the worlds? You hadn't noticed. You had been warding off the demon and protecting Kagome at the time.
Inuyasha: "YOU LIED!"
Your head snapped up to where Inuyasha was held. He was furious.
You: "I didn't know I changed into her. I have her soul and my sister has her body, Kaede says it's because we're twins."
Inuyasha: "You knew you had her soul then!"
Demon: "So your Inuyasha. Your sure in a pickle. This happen after you tried to take jewel from Kikiyo?"
Inuyasha: "Shut up."
You knew Kikiyo knew him from somewhere. He must have been one of the demon's after the jewel. Questions later. Demon now. You grabbed the blade and held it behind you.
Demon: "I will ask only once more. Give me the crystal."
You: "Technically that would be a demand. Asking would be 'May I have the crystal?'"
Demon: "I don't care! Hand it over!"
You: "But you just said you didn't care."
Nit picking at people's word was fun. But she didn't think so. With a frustrated shriek she launched herself at you. Her front arms were extended, ready to grab you. But you placed a hand on her shoulder and lifted your feet as you flipped onto her back. Once on her back you put her in a strangle-hold. Two of her hands were desperately trying to release your arms from her neck, another pair were holding onto your waist, and the others were slowly coming for your neck. Hoping that she wouldn't reach you lifted your head higher. The hands futile attempt of trying to remove your hands came after you instead. You needed to work fast. With the knife you stabbed it into the base of her skull. She lost her concentration and began to scream. Her back arched and shook in the movement of a snake. As you clung desperately trying to hold on she got a hand on you and threw you off her. At first you felt air racing by and just wondered what was the next move. You swore as your head slammed into a tree and sent you to the ground unmoving.
