"Is this all you ever do…?" Kaida asked two days later. So far all they had been doing was walking and having a few small fights.
"You don't have to stay." Inuyasha growled.
"You wish you could get rid of me that easily." Kaida said sticking her tongue out at him.
Before Inuyasha could start fighting with her a man who was bleeding from the shoulder started running towards them. "HELP!" he called.
"TELL ME!" A rabbit demon yelled jumping after him.
"I got it." Kaida said letting an arrow fly straight into the demon's shoulder allowing the man enough time to run behind them.
The demon's eyes locked on Kaida. "Stay out of this human." It hissed till it actually looked at her, then at the gang. ~If I want her I have to separate them.~
"What is he after you for?" Kagome asked.
"He's after the demon spear that my village protects." The man gasped.
"Yes and you shall tell me, but first…. DEMON MINIONS!" he called causing little demon bunnies to pop out of everywhere.
"Their too cute!" Kaida said as one popped up in a tree near her.
They looked sort of like over grown (just up to Kaida's knee) rabbits standing on their two feet with a little bit of a human look to them. At the end of their hands and feet were little claws. Then in their mouths were little pointed fangs.
One lunged at Shippo and the two started wrestling around. As if that had been an order the rest attacked. Inuyasha was instantly tackled by tons of them before he could pull out Tegsaiga. The same went for Sango and Miroku. So soon Kagome and Kaida were back to back shooting them.
Kaida's eyes locked on Shippo. "SHIPPO!" she jumped out of line and grabbed up the young fox demon. "Stay on my shoulder."
"Thanks." It continued on till Kaida noticed the rabbit demon a way off pinning the old man against a tree.
"HANG ON!" Kaida navigated thru the bunnies. Shippo clung to her shoulder. "Leave him alone!" she growled when she got to the rabbit demon.
"Good you're here." The demon said dropping the man. "I got what I needed out of him…. Now for you." He said coolly.
"Kaida…." Shippo whimpered.
"What do you want? Who are you?"
"The spear of Raz….. As for who I am… I am the great…. Or soon to be great demon rabbit Kaz." He took a step forward.
~I've got to protect Kaida….~ "Fox fire!" Shippo yelled causing an annoyance to Kaz.
"SHIPPO NO!" Kaida yelled tackling Kaz before he could attack Shippo… unfortunately she didn't realize behind him was unstable ground that crumbled sending them falling down the hill.
As if sensing their leader was in trouble the demon bunnies ran down to their leader.
Unseen Shippo watched as Kaz picked the unconscious Kaida up and run off towards the trees.
"Everyone alright?" Kagome asked looking around. "Where's Kaida and…"
"KAGOME!" Shippo yelled running up.
"What is it?" Kagome asked the kid.
"Kaida was kidnapped by Kaz!... The rabbit demon!"
"WHAT?!" they all gasped.
"Where are they heading Shippo?" Miroku asked confused. ~What did a rabbit demon want with a human?~
"He took her into the trees that way."
"Oh no… he's headed towards the shrine of Raz." The old man groaned clutching his shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked as Kagome bandaged his shoulder.
"Long ago there was a powerful cat demon that had a demonic spear. He called the spear Raz. He caused lots of damage to countless demons, but never seemed to attack humans. Before the demon died he sealed away his spear and told my father where it was…."
"And Kaz came after you to get it..."
"Yes. He thinks since his name is close to the spears name he is destined to posses it."
"Then why would he want Kaida?" Sango asked.
"I do not know…."
"Kagome are you done?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah…"
"Old man… where is the spear?"
"It's at the bottom of the hill." He said confused.
"Inuyasha….. I thought you didn't like Kaida?" Kagome blinked.
"I don't. But if that demon gets a hold of that spear, then we could be in trouble." Inuyasha said his back to them.
"Oh…"
"Let's go."
~Hang on Kaida.~ Shippo wined.
