The skies where already darkened due to the fact that night would soon arrive. The ground in the forest seemed to be getting darker from that trees high above as the moon shot light threw certain places. Knowing fully well that she was lost in the darkness of the woods, she didn't stop, not even to take in a small breath of air. She could hear owls 'hooting' some where on the branches of the trees awaiting for any sign of a small rodent.
Kagome, not wanting to let her guard down, she held her hand on the hilt of her sword as she made way through the thickness of the night. She caught something with her eyes and squinted to make out what it was. Cautiously, she approached. She was some what relieved when she saw that is was a fallen log that was spotted from the light of the moon that found it ways from a small parting of the leaves.
"I guess it wont hurt if I stopped for a while, plus, my feet are killing me" she said to herself. She sat on the fallen tree and took off her black shoes (they looked similar to sesshomaru's). she began massaging her feet trying to ease the sorely pained toes.
"that's not the only thing that will be killing you" said a monstrous voice that sent a shutter towards kagome's way.
Without hesitation she unsheathed her sword, scanning the area quickly trying to locate the owner of the voice. Then she looked straight as she felt the presence right behind her. She turned and could hardly make out the figure in front of her but she knew it was there. She felt the disadvantage for she stood under the moon light very well seen and him lurking in the darkness.
"come out demon! I know you're here!" she shouted.
The demon gave an evil laughter as he came into kagome's view. He was an owl demon. He had large round yellow eyes with large wings that were resting at it's side. What made kagome almost shutter was that instead of having a beak like a normal owl, it had razor sharp teeth that could snap anything in half with an instant closure of its mouth.
"you look delicious" he said making his disgustingly long greenish tongue hang at the corner of it's mouth, saliva dripped, as it stalked closer to kagome. She backed up with both hands on her sword, out in front of her.
She kept moving back as the demon owl walked further to her. The back of her heels slightly tapped the fallen log, stopping her from going back any further. She looked down at the log, the demon took this opportunity as he opened his jaws wide, in order to consume kagome. She turned back in time and with much force stabbed the sword into it's mouth and piercing through the back of it's head. She quickly pulled out her weapon just as the demon's mouth closed and stumbled back, opening it's mouth again to let out a deafening howl.
"YOU WRETCH!!" screamed the demon.
His wings began flapping with a loud 'woosh' as he was now in the air. He gave kagome a deathly glare.
"COME MY CHILDREN! FEED UPON THIS TREACHEROUS FOOL!" yelled the demon into the sky.
Out of instinct kagome shot into a run as she heard more wings flapping all around. They swooped down trying to scratch at her with their talons. Kagome was dodging the attacks blindly as she ran throughout the forest. "my arrows!", she gasped remembering her new set of arrows. Still running kagome pulled off the bow from across her chest and pulled out one golden arrow from it's quiver. Kagome spun around quickly as one of the owl demon's spawn came full speed at her.
She shot the arrow and watched as it soared, slicing through the air as her miko powers surrounded it. Bulls-eye! Kagome smirked but what happened next left her mouth ajar widely. The arrow flew through the demon's spawn killing it, yet going straight to another killing them as well. The golden arrow flew around the forest killing every single owl demon. Then the arrow vanished.
Kagome was about to jump in victory but she had seem to let a owl spawn slip through her fingers. She turned in time to see it launching at her. She awaited and all she saw was a flash of red clothing pass her view. he sliced at the spawn with his sharp claws .She looked down at the person's crouching form and she walked closer placing a hand on their shoulder. He turned his face to see her. Her breath caught in her throat, the moon light beamed down right on his face and she very well could make out his features.
"I-I-I-I- inuyasha!" she stuttered in her mind disbelievingly.
that was her last thought as she fell forward only to let the hanyou catch her mid air before her body could mercilessly hit the ground. with all that was happening the futuristic girl went light headed.
