Inuyasha sheathed his detransformed sword. As he surveyed the carnage, all the hoard were down and dead or purified piles of ash. Kagome pointed back up the hill, "Oh no, there come some more heading toward Miroku and the girl."
Inuyasha yelled, "Sango, can you cover them?"
Flying closer, she yelled back, "No need. The enemies are down. Miroku got one and the girl the other two." Sango landed next to Miroku. Kagome and Inuyasha ran back up the hill joining them.
"Hey, you changed your clothes," Kagome observed. "You look like Sailor Moon in the anime."
Chibi-Usa laughed and curtseyed. "Sailor Mini Moon at your service." She was amazed that her attack had actually worked on the creatures and happy just to be alive. This was a deadly place and these people were skilled warriors.
Inuyasha complained, "Why didn't you say you could take care of yourself?"
"I told you we fought youma when I got here. How was I to know if these youkai you have here were something like youmas? How would I know if my attacks would work?" Chibi-Usa answered.
Inuyasha had no real answer. He muttered "Keh, let's get a move on. Daylight is wasting and we ain't getting any closer standing around jawing."
