Chapter 4
Disclamer:don't own.
'Crap, crap, crap,' Kagome chanted in her head as the naked centipede woman towered over her, InuYasha, and the villagers. the woman scoffed at the arrows shot her way and used her nonhuman body to swipe the down while most of her attention stayed with Kagome and her adopted brother.
"Hiding behind a half-breed?" she sneered. "Will not save you." Then she lunged at the two. Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome and dodged the beast. Unused to someone being able to keep up with him Inu Yasha stumbled and dropped Kagome. He swore and turned to get her only to witness their opponent bite into Kagome's side causing her to scream.
"Kagomee!" He cried out and lunged forwards to catch Kagome as her side tore open and she fell. Time seemed to freeze when he landes and a pink, glowing ball hit the ground and rolled. "The fuck?"
Not to far away a tall, silver-haired male turned towards the sound of a young man scream. A short time later the mouth-watering scent of a female's blood drifted along the breeze. With it came the scent of a half dog, a centipede, and a group of people. He was about to leave when he felt a familiar energy. Curious, he jumped into the trees and ran to the scene in time to see the centipede consume a glowing object.
He rose a brow when the centipede's power grew and she let out a diabolical laugh. The humans where panicking and running away. Not their best move. To the left was the half dog clutching the injured human woman. He cocked his head as he realized she was a miko of breeding age.
The halfling set the woman down and lunged at the centipede in a clumsy effort to go on the offensive. The man disappeared from his observation point and reappeared next the young woman who was trying to get to her feet. "It would be best not to move." He told her casually.
The woman started and look over at him only before being distracted when her companion thrown through the trees. "Inu Yasha!" The name she cried caused his eyes widened. It was the name of the pup he had never met. He was brought out of his thoughts by a pulsing aura, the halfling had lost control. Before the centipede could do any theing else she was torn to peices.
A lot of good it did as the pieces began to reform. The woman stumbled to her feet and walked over to the jewel on the center of the pulsating viscera and picked up the object. She had figured out why the creature was reforming. Clutching the object she addressed the boy only to stop and clumsily dodge his strike.
Her blood splattered on strangers face and he responded by knocking out the young man. He turned to the young woman, a lot paler then when he first saw her due to blood loss.
"Please don't hurt him." She begged him.
