I OWN NOTHING
I greatly thank Serendipitous House Pet for helping me continue this story. It's not been easy getting back to it given my odd habits of writing what first comes to my mind and life being a bitch.

Unusual but effective
"Can you run steadier, Inuko?!" Kagome asked as she rode on Inuko's back.
"Look, you wanna get to them faster or should we have a nice walk to save your man?" Inuko retorted.
Kagome was about to retort until she noticed the people lying about the village. And the strands of hair wrapped around them.
"Both of you stay back!" Kaede yelled as she rushed from her hut before she tripped over.
She had a wound on her left shoulder. Before Kagome could say anything Inuko jumped back, easily avoiding slashes from three sides. Three of the village women, who were hoisted up like puppets, had tried to cut them down with knives. All around them, the villagers started to swarm around the two girls as if possessed. They weren't struggling and their faces lacked signs of consciousness.
"Inuko, are you seeing this?" Inuko gave an annoyed tch at Kagome's question.
"Yeah, that bitch is using some kind of spell on these people." The dog girl growled.
"Not just that, she's using her hair." Kagome said as she pointed towards the sky
"What, I don't see-"
"Down!" Kagome quickly yelled as she jumped off Inuko's back and onto the ground.
This made the dog girl eat dirt but it also saved Inuko from being bound by the hair and getting caught on the tree. The poor tree wasn't as lucky, as it fell to pieces not a moment after.
"You bitch, what was that for!" Inuko yelled indignantly.
"I just saved your life! If I hadn't done that, you would look like the tree right now!" Kagome yelled as she stomped her foot. "You need to pay attention!"
"Hey, I don't need some boy crazy wench telling me how to fight!" Inuko yelled back.
"Boy crazy- how dare you!?" the schoolgirl screamed as furious.
All the onlookers looked at the scene with awkward silence, including a bleeding out Kaede. Hell, even the comatose seemed to look at the scene with confusion. Speaking of said onlookers, there was one that caused the mess they were in, sitting on a branch. She looked at peace, playing with hair on her fingers like a spider making her web, and keeping her eyes on someone.
"So these are the girls you want to be with?" Yura asked skeptically as she watched on from a far-off tree with Naruto's hair cocoon on the side.
"Yep." He said simply.
"The half-demon and human currently arguing during a battle?"
"Yep."
"Don't you have standards?" She sighed out as she manipulated the puppets to attack Inuko again only for Kagome to Osuwari her out of the way again. A loud "You bitch!" could be heard for miles.
"I don't think that's a question you get to ask." Naruto swore he felt the cocoon getting tighter.
"You're so lucky I want you alive." She said as she ran a finger across the cocoon in a manner that left him greatly uncomfortable.
He tried to struggle to get free, unsure of what he'd do, but damn sure he'd try to punch her face in once he could fight. Despite his strong physique, it was as if he was tied by steel wire, and it was starting to burn. Despite the harsh heat on his skin, he persevered and tried to glare back, only amusing the hair controlling witch. She enjoyed seeing him in her control, helpless.
Meanwhile, the girls weren't having much luck on their side, "Dammit, what the Hell!?" Inuko growled as she readied her claws, but had a problem.
"Don't harm them, Inuko!" Kaede shouted, "They're still alive and themselves, but something's using them as marionettes of evil!"
Kagome felt a lightbulb turn on in her head, "You mean the hair?"
"What?" Kaede was surprised, 'This girl's eyes are sharp as a hawk's, but the only one strong enough to fight out of them is Inuko and she's blind to them.'
"What the Hell do we do about it?" Inuko was getting impatient, flexing her claws in desperate need to cut something.
Yura smiled as she sat on her branch and started to make a cobweb with her hair, smirking as she saw the girls as the flies to be caught in it. With a simple flick of her fingers, the villagers went flying at the two girls, brandishing their weapons. Kagome ducked under a swing and ran away, while Inuko expertly dodged them and ground her teeth, knowing she'd never let off easy if she harmed the people.
However, as that went on, Kagome saw something that scared her, "Wait Inuko, jump back!"
"Shut up!" the dog girl didn't listen, and it cost her.
A smile crept on Yura's lips, "Gotcha." Pulling her hands apart made her living marionettes pull away, while the hairs that acted as puppet strings coiled around Inuko's torso.
Kagome and Naruto heard and saw the white haired half-demon cry in pain, yet her kimono managed to keep her pale skin from being cut. She struggled to breathe as Yura sneered.
"D-Damn bitch…" Inuko gasped.
"She's strong, but won't last long." Yura said and started to pull harder.
And Naruto had enough, "Fuck it!" he clenched his jaw as he felt his skin peeling from his wrist and felt his muscles and bones strain from what he was doing.
Pulling out a move he saw in a movie, the insanely brave boy managed to pull out his right arm with large cuts on his wrist that was bleeding him dry. Without thinking – not like he had done so when seeing the girl in danger – he splatted his own blood on the woman's eyes. It worked! Yura let out a yelp and released the hair, freeing Inuko who panted for breath after hitting the floor.
While it was a small victory, it was also short-lived, "Ugh! Now you're pissing me off!" Yura shouted and used her short sword to smack Naruto in the head with the handle, then grab his head to hold the blade on his neck, "You're making this harder than it needs to be. Your beautiful golden hair will be mine one way or another and I have plenty of ways to get your cooperation-"
Her words were interrupted by him spitting on her face without fear, "Do your worst." He said with his teeth bared.
Foot met face, and soon he was sleeping.
Kaede, still managing to stay awake despite her injuries, couldn't watch this battle anymore as it was becoming too one-sided.
"Kagome, Inuko, get out of here!" She yelled in a raspy tone.
Inuko growled in frustration. "Hell no! I can take her and her puppets!"
Inuko's arrogance only frustrated the old priestess. "No, you can't! Not here! Regroup somewhere... protect the jewel..." She managed to get out before her consciousness faded.
Kagome decided to heed her words. "Inuko, stop! We must go now! Grab the priestess and hide somewhere!"
Inuko could only scoff at what she saw as weakness. "To hell with that! Not that I care, but don't YOU wanna save your boy toy!?" She growled, dodging hair nets from two sides.
Kagome decided to ignore that last part. "Yes, we WILL save him. We WILL come back. But now is NOT the time." Inuko had to hold back a snarl of frustration. "Now grab Lady Kaede and hide somewhere. I'll head back to the well."
Inuko scoffed. "You really thank you can make it?!" She said ducking under a butcher knife.
Kagome nervously nodded. "Maybe. Now go!" She yelled as she made a break for the well. Inuko quickly sprinted towards the downed priestess and made off into the forest.
From far away, Yura scowled. "Now what are these fools up to?" She wondered before shrugging in disinterest. The girl was alone and that jewel shard was as good as hers. She glanced at the unconscious blond and smirked a little defiantly. "You and I are gonna have a real good time after this. But first, that girl with the jewel."
Kagome raced as best she could, cursing herself for not taking a spot in the track team when she could. Her bycicle was good, but she could've used a faster model.
"Ah!" she yelped when hearing a knife cut the air behind her, skipping to avoid it just as it barely missed her back.
Her uniform had a gash, but it was something she'd take over the knife going any inch further. It and the breeze on her back helped her with a rush of adrenaline. Being so close to death was something no girl would want, and for her the idea of dying in such a way was not an option. Gritting her teeth with fear and slight fatigue, she ignored her aching legs and kept racing to the well.
"How cute…" Yura giggled as she observed her.
"Not now!" Kagome gasped, seeing the well a good ten yards from her, "I have to… I can… I must!"
She didn't know what made her do so, but her legs became a blur while the mad woman threw her wakizashi at her. Kagome's yelp stirred Naruto, who gasped when seeing her collapse on the ground, holding her bleeding ankle. And yet, she had some life in her eyes. True, she was scared, but the schoolgirl had the will to live as she inched closer to the well, having been close enough she used it to get up.
With a flick of her wrist, Yura pulled back her short sword with a sneer, "Now that's cuter." She examined the girl's hair, "Your hair isn't as wonderful or beautiful as this boy or that dog girl's, but it should do."
"I'll have you know I take great care of it…" Kagome growled, having some pride in her hair, but also to buy time as she was leaning on the well.
She needed to make a jump, hoping that she could go back home… But Yura was impatient, "Let's see if that's true." She was ready to attack, moving the blade back to throw it… And her hand only launched air, "What!?" she turned to her hand, then back to the blond currently holding the blade with his teeth.
After spitting out the sword, he yelled, "Kagome, run!"
Said girl closed her eyes, but leapt into the well, just as Yura backhanded Naruto hard enough to disorient him before turning to her. She jumped to the well, throwing her sword into it… but hit nothing.
Meanwhile, in the other world.
"KAGOME! KAGOME!" Sota yelled as he and his grandfather looked around the old temple.
They were there for a few hours and still no sign of Naruto or Kagome, but they were not gonna call it quits just yet.
"AAAAAGH!" A familiar voice screamed from the glowing well.
"Kagome!" Both Sota and the old priest screamed in shock.
The teen girl landed on her butt and remained fazed for about a few seconds as her brother and Grandpa rushed to her side before she jumped up and went at a million words per second.
"Oh my god! Grandpa, Sota I'm so glad to see you! Naruto and I went to this weird place where this weird monster attacked us and we met this really mean dog girl pinned on a tree and- OH MY GOD, Naruto was taken by this hair kunoichi monster and we need to save him!" Kagome blasted off before her grandpa placed a hand over her mouth.
"Kagome, calm down! One word at a time." He pleaded, trying to calm her down.
"Kagome said Aniki's in trouble because he was taken by a hair lady!" Sota yelled, Kagome nodding in confirmation.
"What!? How!?" Grandpa asked before he quickly turned to the well and remembered what his father had told him about the temple. "That's right, the whippersnapper! First demonic hands, now crazy hair people, that boy can't catch a break for his generosity."
"Grandpa, I need to go back in there, but I need help. Inuko's down there, but she can't fight off that monster alone."
Grandpa shook his head. "I wouldn't be of much help. I have knowledge of ancient wards and charms, but this is something else entirely and there's no way I'm letting you go back down there again. We need to-" He was cut off by Kagome rushing up to leave. "Wait! Where are you going?!"
"Bows and arrows! I can't just leave him there!" She shouted with fear laced in her voice. "I can't fight like him or Inuko, but I can't stand by and let others get hurt. Especially someone who jumped in just to save me!" The fear was still present in her voice, but it was overshadowed by her determination. Grandpa and Sota's cries for her to wait went unheard as she sprinted back home, not noticing the well glowing again.

Deep within and lair of bones, gagging and "magical" sounds could be heard. Said lair was made primarily of hair in a manner similar to a cocoon. Yura, who as demon of the hair made such a place her abode, was currently concocting strange brews in an effort to get Naruto's hair to expanded in a decent manner. She would never admit it, but she wasn't the best brewer in the neighborhood and still had a ways to go.
"What the hell!" Naruto yelled as he was engulfed in his hair, looking like a blonde ape man.
"Okay, I think I over did it on the caterpillar blood." Yura sighed.
"Yeah you th- wait, the what?!" Naruto squawked out.
Yura shrugged. "Hold on, I can fix this." She coolly replied. She forced another potion down Naruto's gullet and made the magical hair on his body recede. She also caused his hair to turn green. "Well that's a... different look." She said, trying to hide the embarrassment in her voice.
"Whatever you did, change it back." Naruto said through his gritted teeth before furrowing his brows, "Actually, could you make it red and smooth? I always wanted that kind of- The Hell am I saying!?"
"Ugh, and make you look like a tomato?" she took that suggestion surprisingly serious. "Stop struggling, we need to make sure you grow nice, smooth, and clean hair."
Naruto closed his eyes and tried to think of what to do. Mentally cursing for his arms were bound by hair once again didn't do him any good. Thus, to try to remain calm and kill time as he attempted to find a loose enough strand to wiggle out of, he pictured what he'd do to Yura once he was free. Part of him wanted to tie her up in her own hair cocoon and use her as a speedball, the other wanted utter humiliation first.
Being chivalrous to Kagome and kind to her brother was one thing, but when push came to shove and someone tried not only to kill said girl but also use him for experiments he had less than savory thoughts. Some of those included childish and petty ways of getting revenge like forcing her to drink all her concoctions. Others would make even Inuko blush. Several others would make old lady Kaede try to exorcise him.
And Yura caught on his hateful eyes, "What's going on in that head of yours?" she put her heel on his shoulder – unknowingly giving him a panty-shot – to make him look at her.
He was truthful, "Ways of making you eat this hairball." It was a predominant thought.
She smirked, "Cute, but you still have to be useful." She held his chin with a hand before closing in on him, "That wonderful golden hair of yours is truly one of a kind, kitsune boy. I shall make it mine… Who knows? If you're good enough, we may even make babies who share our hair." He flushed and opened his mouth to reply, only to shudder when she licked his whiskered cheek.
Disgust, confusion, and shameful shivers made him act with a solid head-butt, "Stop getting off on this!" he shouted, though closed his eyes for he had hit the scantily clad demon hard enough to make his forehead bleed. As his own blood dripped between his eyes, Yura replied with a swift backhand and a scowl, though she felt her own blood sliding to her lips from her nostrils.
Grinning, she stared at him, "Such strength is unlike any human, even hunters…" she wiped her nose and yanked his head to lock eyes with him, hateful glaring blue orbs meeting up with sadistically delighted ruby ones, "After feeling that strike of yours, I am convinced. You may have the stench of a human, but you're much more. Not demon or human… I can't wait to see our children."
He shuddered in anger, repulsion, and sadly some arousal as her breasts were in plain view, "Like Hell you are! I want the mother of my children to be a sweetheart, perhaps hot-headed, strong-willed, serious, flirty at most, loving, or anything but a psycho like you!" he groaned, "I knew I shouldn't have kissed you! You're crazy!"
Yura scowled while Kagome, Inuko, a girl with a large boomerang, a full-fledged demon dog woman, a perverted priestess, and a wolf woman sneezed in unison.
Kagome was quick to ignore it and grab around anything she could and found useful into her backpack, "Bandages, instant curry, arrows, Gramps' spare clothes in case he needs them, what else?" she bit her lower lip as she held up the items at random, trying to think of what uses they couldn't fulfill to get more stuff.
"Oh, how about this?" her little brother asked, holding a box of fireworks, "I saved my allowance to use them for a trip to the beach, but if big bro's in trouble…"
"Sota…" the girl was touched.
Then, her mother arrived, "If he really is in trouble…" she handed her daughter a lighter, "Be sure not to burn yourself."
Kagome's mother was a sweetie of a woman. She had taken an instant liking to the blond boy when hearing how he helped her son and seeing how obvious her daughter's crush on him was.
And soon the old priest arrived with some papers, "Worry not, I shall fully exorcise the place to bring that boy back, Kagome. No demon shall set foot in for now, I sealed all dark energies with-"
"Oi, woman!" shouted Inuko as she entered the dining room after getting in through the kitchen's window.
Sota stared in awe, "W-What the… Who is she!?"
Kagome gaped, "Inuko!? How… When did you-"
The dog girl grabbed her wrist, "Let's go save your man and give that bitch Yura a piece of my mind!" then she put her face inches from Kagome, "And you better not die. I need the jewel inside you."
"Begone, foul demon!" the old priest hollered, shooting some pieces of paper to the hybrid girl… which just fell to the floor.
The white-haired lass stared at the supposedly magical talismans, confused, "More of that trash?"
"W-what?" the old man blinked in surprise.
Inuko held more, pulling them out of her cleavage, much to the two males' surprise and both females' shock, "I found them at the well, they don't do crap."
Kagome's grandfather hung his head in defeat, "But I trained so hard to ward off evil…"
"Wait!" Kagome's mother shouted, making everyone stare at her.
The schoolgirl felt some relief, 'Yes, finally someone can talk some sense-' her hopes were smashed when her mom caressed the hanyo's ears.
"So fluffy…" she said in a trance.
"I wanna touch too!" Sota exclaimed childishly.
"What the hell is wrong with you people?" Inuko growled even though she put up no resistance at the ear touching and even seemed to look... relaxed when Sota scratched behind her left ear. Kagome just stared at her family's reaction, stuck in a seemingly permanent light face fault at their reaction and interaction with the hanyo girl. She quick shook it off and coughed into her hand to get her family's attention.
"Everyone... thank you." She said trying to hold back some emotion. "I love you guys. And with your help, me and Inuko are gonna save Naruto!"
She said with a fire in her eyes that spoke volumes of determination to the people in the room. This fire gave Inuko a minor surprise, but she didn't show it. Her family stopped their previous actions and got in a group hug, causing Inuko to roll her eyes.
"Yeah, lovely family, woman. Can we go now?" She asked impatiently.
"Someone's eager." Kagome's mother commented dryly before she whispered in Kagome's ear. "Be on the lookout for competition sweetie."
"Eh, what?!" Kagome gasped as the family broke off from the hug.
"Be safe./We'll hold down the fort./Tell big bro Imma start taking boxing lessons!" Kagome's family all said cheerfully. Kagome nodded before she was picked up by Inuko and left the home.
"Hey woman." Inuko said. "You sure you're ready for this? I don't want you getting paralyzed with fear and getting cut up or strangled to death mid-fight."
"Don't worry. I'm ready. I think." She muttered the last part but Inuko still heard her. She chose not to comment, figuring it was the best she could get. They quickly made off to the magical well, ready to descend and confront Yura of the Hair.
Meanwhile.
"What did you do now?" Naruto groaned.
Yura put hand on her chin as she gave him a once over then shrugged. "Nothing much this time. Your hair is simply defying gravity as all, nothing unusual." She answered.
"Wait what? Lemme see." Yura held a mirror to Naruto's face he was surprised to see his hair literally sticking up in a golden spiky spire of glory. "Woah."
Yura nodded before verbalizing a thought. "You know, that hair style reminds me of a monkey demon tribe not too far from here."
"Can I get something normal soon?" he asked tiredly.
XXXXXX
As Inuko sniffed the ground and Kagome tried not to stare too much or say how simultaneously adorable and weird it was to see another girl with her buttocks in the air, said schoolgirl was tying fireworks to arrows. Inuko finally caught on to the whiskered boy's scent of salty noodles and foxes and turned to the dark-haired girl just as she finished readying her ammo.
"Are you sure you're her reincarnation?" she grumbled, "She just needed normal arrows, no toys from humans to make them heavier."
"It'll be better than nothing." Kagome replied and saw Inuko ready her back for her to get on, which she did, "Do you have any idea what we may need to do?"
"Cut off her head, and if that doesn't work then we find where the Hell her real source of power is." Inuko said flatly, "Now don't go falling off and make sure you don't shoot me."
"I won't!" Kagome shot back, sighing at the end, "Listen, we saw what she's like. I can see where her hair comes from, so it's you who needs to be more careful."
"Just point me where to cut and I'll do so!" the white-haired hanyo snapped before taking off, feeling something on her back, "Huh…"
Kagome lifted a brow quizzically, "What is it?"
"Yours are smaller than hers and even tinier than mine." Was all Inuko said, and it took Kagome all her willpower not to smack her or shout the magic words, mainly because she reminded herself they were in the air. She made a mental note to try to take revenge for that line for later.
And then, it clicked, "Wait, how would you know that!?"
Inuko grew a pink blush, "None of your business!"
Kagome didn't know how to feel, "Did you and Kikyo... N-Not that there's anything wrong with that! At least where I'm from it's not that weird for two girls to be in lo-"
"It's not that, she always forced me to take baths with her to make sure I was clean!" the dog girl's face was as red as her kimono, and then she realized what she said, "Wait, was that why she always- Argh, look what you made me think about, woman!"
Kagome chuckled sheepishly, "I'm not judging..." she looked away with a small blush, "Although, that'd explain why you're so angry with me."
"Don't think anything weird!"
Currently in Yura's lair…
"Okay, drink this." Yura said as she held up a flask to Naruto's face. The currently rainbow-haired teen was staunchly refusing.
"No way!" He growled as Yura tried to shove the flask in his mouth, growing frustrated by his resistance.
"You don't have a choice. Drink!" She said as she kicked Naruto's gut, making him gasp with pain and allowing her to force the concoction down his throat. "There. Better?" She asked with faux kindness.
"No!" Naruto rasped, noticing Yura's look of mild surprise. "What now?" He groaned, waiting for another weird hair effect to be told to him.
"Hold on." Yura said before she quickly went behind him. Naruto heard a swish before feeling a bit lighter topside. Then he felt something being done to his hair. Yura then came back around and held the mirror towards him. "What do you think?"
Naruto was genuinely surprised to find his hair pretty much normal, except now it had a short spiky ponytail. It was a wild untamed tail of spiky-ness, the tip reaching a little below his shoulders.
"Woah, this is actually acceptable. Good job." He said with unexpected surprise.
"Thank you." Yura said with a small yet beaming smile. "This was my first time, so excuse me if I was a little sloppy." She said with a faint blush. It would've been adorable had the previous situations leading up to this hadn't occurred.
"Well, me too, so I can't really fault you." Naruto said kindly. For a few small moments, neither of them said anything, simply opting to bask in the quiet pleasure of the moment until Naruto spoke up. "Can I leave now?"
"Haha ah, no." Yura laughed out. "We're going to have children. Perhaps a platoon of them." She said while fighting off some chuckles, ignoring Naruto's looks of horror. "Now let's get your clothes off." She said as she reached towards Naruto, only stopping when she heard a faint whoosh sound.
Out of nowhere, an arrow came right towards her, almost managing to pierce her shoulder as she tried to leap away. Just as she leapt up to the safety of her hair above her lair she saw who it was. There they were, the human female in a red kimono and the modestly covered hanyo in her white undergarments, standing in front of her prize.
"I nearly got her!" Kagome wasn't sure whether to cheer or curse for that.
Yura was pissed, 'Dammit, I forgot to set up tripwires! I always get too careless when I'm giddy.'
"What the hell man?!" Inuko growled out. "You let her do your hair!" She didn't mention this, but subconsciously, she found his hair in better taste.
"Kinda didn't have a choice." Naruto pointed out calmly, gesturing to his hair cocoon. Inuko simply "tched" dismissively in annoyance.
"I think it looks great on you." Kagome pointed, receiving a warm smile from Naruto while Inuko rolled her eyes, muttering under her breath.
"Hey!" Yura snarled, getting the attention of her rude and uninvited guests. "I don't why you two bothered to come back for him after your defeat, but I do know this." She snarled as she flexed her hands with a smirk. Strands of hair flew like a web from different places, Kagome dodging with a slight "eep" to the side while Inuko barely paid it any mind, ignoring a slight scratch on her cheek. "I'm going to show you the meaning of bad hair day."
"Can you see what kind of torture I deal with?" Naruto quipped as he tried to break free.
Seeing that, Inuko flexed her fingers and ripped the hair cocoon to shreds, "Now run, you two. I'll kick her ass so hard her tongue will be my new pair of sandals." She readied her claws, but Naruto refused.
"After all I endured trapped with her? She ain't getting away without a decent punch from me." he took on an odd stance, his left hand lowered to his hip, his body's left side facing Kaguya, and his right fist right at his chin's level. While Inuko found his pose confusing, Kagome – who had watched some of his matches thanks to her brother – knew what he'd do.
'That stance...' Yura thought for moment until she shrugged off her curiosity, grabbing her wakizashi just in case anything got personal. She reigned in both her hands, unleashing four large tendrils of hair before making them crash down on the positions of her enemies.
Inuko pushed Kagome out of the way as she and Naruto dodged the hair tendrils. Kagome landed on her butt with her bow still in hand while the other two attempted to push forward. With a lunge, Inuko sent several claw swipes at Yura while angling her body to dodge a smaller tendril. Said hair yokai barely managed to dodge the projectile swipes, switching to blocking them with a massive hair tendril.
"You'll need to do better than that!" Inuko yelled as she shredded the hair and went after her, swiping wildly.
"Is that the best you-" she taunted, but paused after losing her sword arm before sending some hair out after the half-blood. "Little bitch!"
She slashed at Inuko, who ducked under the swipe, "Don't forget about me!" her failed attack left her vulnerable for the blond looking for payback, since she was now only a few feet off the ground.
Naruto jumped up with a left jab towards Yura's head, throwing his arm in a swift manner as if lashing out with it. She dodged a whip-like strike, his fist nearly brushing past her nose. She swore she could've felt something graze her. However, dodging the first strike, she was right open for Naruto's right hand as he spun around and delivered a swift punch.
"Yes, come to me!" Yura cheered as she raced at him, ducking under his punch to kick his feet in order to sweep him off the ground… only for him to stomp forward and deliver an upper-cut at her jaw!
Grinning proudly, Naruto watched the short-haired demoness flip three times in the air before she landed on her knees, where he proceeded to give chase with swift left jabs. Yura had to jump back and start dodging while Inuko joined the chase. The dog girl swiped fast but Naruto punched even faster, his left arm moving at blurring speeds while he tensed his right arm.
"You're mine!" the blond shouted, remembering what happened to him, what she did to the others, and he just wanted to end it with a straight right punch to her body.
Inuko would have kept swiping at the kunoichi, had she not seen something odd. "No way, is that-"
Both her and Yura felt the energy emanating from the boy's fist while Kagome saw it glow blue. It was moments before Naruto's hand lodged through her chest and this subsequently led to him falling on top.
"Oh my god!" Naruto gasped. He may have faced another demoness before and really disliked Yura, but sticking his hand through a still living kunoichi demon's chest was a very new experience.
"You're really sending me mixed messages." She quipped under him before kicking him away. 'That bastard could've taken my head off...' Yura shook off her shock the moment she noticed the dog hanyo above her, apparently attempting maim her some more. With a smirk creeping on her lips, she roped in her previously severed arm in an effort to stab her from the side.
The blade would've made it, had an arrow from Kagome not struck it off course. "I-I actually got it!" the schoolgirl cheered as Yura panicked inwardly before she was diced up by Inuko's claws, momentarily out for the count as her hair moved to stitch her back together.
The trio watched the scantily clad woman's body move as if nothing had happened, not even a single stitch to be seen. Naruto cringed when seeing the spot his arm had gone through before staring at his fist, "Did I really do that?" he asked in both confusion and awe.
Yura smirked, "I knew I sensed something odd in you. What did you do just now?"
"Are you using some ki or something?" Inuko joined the interrogation, "Are you a monk of some sort?"
"I'm a boxer, I don't have any idea what I just did!" he snapped, feeling too confused, "I wanted to knock her lights out with all my might and then it just… clicked."
"So, you have untapped potential, good." Yura licked her lips, "What's making this change happen? Is it our time together or something else? Oh well, our children shall be an interesting bunch, to say the least."
She was going to taunt the other girls, but gasped when a stream of light flew at her, which she dodged only for an explosion of lights to make her regret not moving, "Got her!" Kagome said as she pulled a second arrow and lit the fuse with her mother's lighter. She also looked a tad angry.
Yura was blinded, leaving herself open for both the hanyo and the boxer. Naruto wasn't as quick as the white-haired dog girl, but he surprised her by being right behind her. When she slashed at Yura, forcing her to back away, Inuko could see that he packed quite a punch. Trying to remember the feeling of anger and determination flaring in him, Naruto lashed with his left arm at Yura five times in a split second. Without any way to protect her and not wanting to harm him for his precious hair, the hair demoness flipped back.
She thought she was safe, but hearing the loud stomp he gave to close the distance, she regretted it when receiving a haymaker that sent her flying back. Right behind her was Inuko, her claws ready and glowing. With a primal roar of anger, the dog hybrid clawed at the demon's back, making said yokai gasp as her body flew up like a ragdoll. She grunted and grit her teeth at the damage she was receiving. It was getting out of hand, not to mention that if they kept going, things could get messy. Thus, she raised her hands, her cocoon moving.
As the hair flew to repair the damage done to her nubile frame, she grinned, "This is actually getting fun." She licked her lips and observed the two… but noted something off, "Wait, where's the human."
Kagome had fired another loaded arrow, the typical explosion sending sparks that landed on Yura's moving lair, "I should've thought of this before!" she repeated the same motion, firing arrow after arrow with the clear intention of burning Yura's hair.
The yokai woman gasped as she observed the flames, and due to the fire eating her best weapon and means of transport, she started to fall, "No! No, no, no, no!" she ground her teeth and used her remaining hair to swing at Kagome, wakizashi ready, "You little bitch!"
However, the fire increased exponentially fast, making her land on the ground and skid to a halt before cold faced Naruto and a very pissed off Inuko, "So, mind if I call off the wedding?" he asked while cracking his knuckles slowly, getting her to sweat.
Inuko flexed her claws but said nothing, leaving what she had in mind to Yura's imagination, which made it much worse for her.
As her cries rang in the dark forest, Kagome observed and her face of determination changed into confusion, then worry, and then fear, "I-I am never ticking those two off…" she shuddered at the sight.
XXXXXX
And that's my rap!
Once again, thanks to Serendipitous House Pet for his help in getting me back to writing this fic. I feel like this is the kind of crazy direction I needed. If you liked this fic, you should thank him for his help.
For now, I'll leave Yura's fate to your imagination… Or you can imagine Inuko and Naruto tying her with her own clothes BDSM style. Whatever tickles your fancy.
Swordslinger out!
