The creature in front of her, despite appearances, was not human. She could smell that much. The air around him was thick with the smell of decaying meat and death. Sen pranced and snorted underneath her as ready to bolt as she was. He Laughed at her a sinister and dark sound. It made her blood run cold and chills run down her spine. What ever he was he was evil and terrifying. Remembering her rifle she had strapped to her saddle Miranda reached over and drew it across her lap and cocked it. If he made a move towards her she was gonna shoot him, of that she was certain. His voice pierced the silence.
"He's coming for you. He knows I'm here and what im going to do to you." That woke her up.
"oh you arent going to do anything to me buddy." Miranda took aim and fired. A scream mixed with a roar ripped through the air. Miranda looked to see a gaping hole ripped through the demons chest. The look on his face told her that she had done some damage. But how was he alive? The hole was where his heart should have been. She reached for another bullet from her saddle bags. Naraku advanced. Then Miranda heard something. The sound of running was growing nearer… and seemingly louder, as if the runner was growing.
The demon cursed and spun on the spot as a giant beast burst through the trees and hit him square in the chest wrapping its massive jaws around the foul demons throat. Miranda didn't see much more of the fight as Sen had reared straight up as the giant white beast had burst onto the trail. He spun around as she clung to the saddle and bolted back down the trail. She could hear the epic battle that's was falling behind her.
She didn't get Sen back under control until she burst into the camp where Rin Jaken and Kohaku were. He reared again as she came to a halt almost unseating her. They all looked up alarmed, as she swung off Sen rushed over to them.
"Pack up camp now! You guys have to leave!"
"But why Miranda? Whats going on?" Rin asked urgently. Kohaku watched on with urgency as Jaken began to squawk.
"I ran into a demon on my way and I have to say he was the scariest thing I have ever imagined and he smelled like rotten death. And that's not all I shot him through the heart and he never died then all of a sudden a giant white beast that resembled a dog attacked the demon out of nowhere!" At the last statement Kohaku, Rin and Jakin jumped up and looked in the direction of the fight.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin and Jaken gasped as they jumped up. Kohaku jumped up and raced out of the clearing towards the fight.
"Kohaku!" Miranda shouted after him she turned back the Rin and Jaken "Am I to believe that, that huge white dog is Sesshomaru?" Rin nodded earnestly and Jaken squealed a yes. "Shit… Jaken get Rin out of here now! Her safety is your main concern if you fail your lord will be the least of your worries." Jaken began to screech something about not listening to a lowly human when Miranda shot him a glare that lodged his words in his throat and he began to usher Rin out of the clearing.
Miranda ran over to Sen and swung onto his back, wheeling him around and kicking him into high gear back the way they had flee from. Although hesitant he listened to his beloved rider. As he galloped along Miranda began to load her rifle clamping a couple extra bullets between her teeth.
It seemed to take forever to reach the clearing but as she reached she wished it had taken longer. The heavy smell of blood hung in the air, both rotten and pure. The giant dog that was Sesshomaru was wrestling with something large that had tentacles, and they were wrapped around Sesshomaru's legs and neck. Some even pierced his sides seeking his vital organs. As if hearing or smelling her the white dog rolled his eyes in her direction as he clamped his jaws down on his opponents shoulder. Without hesitating Miranda took aim and shouted.
"MOVE!" as she pulled the trigger Sesshomaru launched himself away from the demon. Miranda fired. She hit her mark. The bullet pierced the creature between the eyes, and to her amazement he began to disintegrate. Miranda squeezed off a couple shots to make sure he wasn't coming back. When he finally disappeared she looked over to there the great dog demon was. He lay panting on the ground blood again pouring from his body. Miranda dismounted and tentatively walked towards the great beast. He slowly began to stand up as she neared. He began to change as he turned towards her. His pain riddled gaze locked onto hers. She watched as the glowing red of his eyes melted into liquid amber again. Not knowing what to do she stepped towards him.
