EEP! Sesshy!? What are you doing here!? No you don't!
Sesshomaru: I own all…
…. Okay, the cliched cameo wins this round

Scroll Ten: Destruction of the forest of love, Part 1
"Ugh… we have got to stop getting so drunk…" Chizuru mumbled and rubbed her head, quickly recovering from the party.
"I still outdrank all of ya." Niri laughed as she stood up, seemingly with no aftereffect of her drinking rampage after her nap.
"I still can't believe you took them all on one at a time in a drinking contest…" Inuyasha mumbled, his voice showing that he was both impressed and at the same time freaked out.
"Well the way I see it, you all owe me your allowances for… ever!" She laughed evilly, a look of avarice in her eyes.
DJ and Miroku still sat in the corner of the room, the former looking very depressed. "Can't believe I listened to you monk…" he muttered. "Now Dusty-chan thinks I'm some kind of pervert." He huffed.
"Oh, well excuse me for trying to help." The monk crossed his arms and faced into the corner.
"Hey, where'd Kabaji go anyway?" Kirsty asked, looking around. "He was here at the beginning of the party but sorta disappeared when we all got drunk…"
"Feh, probably got sick of watching you fools wobble around." Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked away.
At that moment Kabaji came running through the doorway to the mansion, looking disheveled with sweat covering his face. "Please warriors! Demons have attacked the village, you have to help us!"
"Demons?" Inuyasha and Sango questioned in unison as the group ran for the door to the mansion.
As they walked outside, thousands of serpentine demons, ogres, and imps were in the skies and on the grounds. "Damnit all, why couldn't I smell all of these demons?" Inuyasha growled.
"Naraku's miasma is all over this forest, that combined with the Yokai Ki no Ai spores most likely blocked your nose Inuyasha." Miroku narrowed his eyes and grabbed the prayer beads on his hand, pulling them off and letting the cloth over his hand fall off. "Wind Tunnel!" An air void was revealed in the monk's hand that began sucking up many of the demons.
"Miroku, stop!" Sango forced his hand down and pointed to what looked like a large hornet or insect. "Naraku's Saimyosho are here, if you suck them in you'll be killed!"
"Damn, guess I'll have to handle them then, Wind Scar!" Inuyasha swung the Tessaiga and what must have been a hundred demons disappeared in the energy flow.
"Wow… they really are an impressive team…" Herman commented as he watched Inuyasha's team at work.
"Don't just stand there! Help out!" Axe shouted as he ran into the horde of demons, slashing at some and crushing others with his giant axe. "And find Devon too!"
-------------------------
Kirsty ran through, splitting a demon in half with one of her Sais. "Is there anyone out there?" She shouted in the dark purple haze.
"AH!" She heard a male scream from off in the distance. She began running in the sound of the voice, cutting and kicking through whatever demons got in her way. "Someone help us!" a female answered her call.
As she continued on the two people came into view. A young man sat there, leg bleeding and a towering demon standing over them. The other was a young man, tugging at the man and trying to move him, his injury making things difficult. "Just leave me…" he pleaded. "I will not leave you brother!" she began crying and hugged, the man, her brother.
"How sweet, I was in the mood to eat something sweet." The ogre demon chuckled in a gruff voice, red eyes glowing.
"Wow… that was really stupid." Kirsty scoffed and twirled her Sai in one hand. She directed her attention towards the two humans, "Don't worry, I can help you, I'm a doctor."
The demon laughed loudly. "Are you lost little girl? Careful with that pathetic knife, you might hurt yourself."
"Hmph, no one makes fun of my Sais like that, especially not some cliched ugly bastard of a demon!"
The demon growled, clearly annoyed. "I may have you as an appetizer first!" he lunged at the blonde doctor.
Kirsty growled and leapt into the air, aiming her Sai for the demon's neck before landing, the demon's head being cleaved off and falling off to the side. "How's that for ya?" she grinned. She then walked over to the two humans, "Here, heal-heal, leg." Her hands began glowing and the cut along the man's leg healed. "You guys better get out of here while you can."
"Thank you Madame." The sister bowed and helped her brother out of the besieged town.
"Whew… now where did everyone else get to?" She looked around.
----------------------
Devon growled as he stood, staring down Kagura as the demons surrounded them. "You do want your brother alive don't you? Unless you do as Naraku commands, he will kill him, have no doubt about that. Naraku is merciless and is not above blackmail to get what he wants." The wind witch clutched where her heart would be had Naraku not stored it somewhere safe away from her.
"It's not so easy, it will take time…" The Demon's eyes narrowed.
"I don't ca-" Kagura was interrupted as a bullet whizzed by her cheek.
"Next time I won't miss! Hey bitch, remember me!?" Niri shouted as she ran forward, gun pointed at Kagura.
Devon blinked and quickly unsheathed his swords again, slashing at Kagura. "What are you doing!?" Naraku's incarnation whispered in a low growl as she narrowly avoided the attack.
"Making it convincing…" Devon snarled back and slashed again.
"Devon, get back! Go help the others, leave this bitch to me." Niri grinned slyly, holding her pistol up to Kagura's face. "This won't take long…"
"No, it won't girly" The wind witch grinned as she created a wind to push Niri back a few feet as Devon retreated into the mist in order to lend his services to everyone else.
"You're dead!" Niri growled and pulled the trigger on her father's pistol.
As she fired, Kagura swung her fan again, knocking the bullet harmlessly out of the way. "Please… projectile weapons? I am the wind! In order to get a bullet to me you have to go through the air. You might as well just be saying 'do whatever you want with it Kagura, please'." The wind witch chuckled evilly.
"Damn…" The sharpshooter ran into the nearby trees and stood behind one very still, her only chance was to take Kagura by surprise.
"Dance of Blades!" Kagura shouted, firing wind scythes shaped like crescents into the trees, tearing up anything in their path.
Niri winced as one of the blades grazed her knee. "Come and get me, wind bitch!"
Kagura watched and saw her opponent's shadow on the tree in front of her. "You fool… Dance of The Dragon!" She created a large whirlwind, which covered the group of trees where the sharpshooter girl was. The wind witch grinned as she saw the trees completely blown over and shredded by the wind. "Got her…"
"Wrong again…" Kagura felt Niri's shotgun barrel press against her back. She looked back at the trees in horror as the shadow that she saw before was revealed to be merely a shirt supported by a grouping of sticks in a T shape. The sharpshooter pulled the trigger and small bullets shot out of Kagura's body in numerous directions. "Too easy…" Niri watched as Kagura fell over into the dirt. She began to walk away when she heard a voice.
"DANCE OF BLADES!" Kagura shouted. As Niri's instincts caused her to spin around, she saw that Kagura was still alive, her kimono ripped and her body riddled with holes from the shotgun. A few of the blades connected and made cuts into the dark-haired girl's shoulder and thigh. "I'm harder to kill than that…" The wind witch scoffed as she watched her opponent drop to her knees.
"D-Damn you… cheap shot…" Niri winced and clutched her wounds.
"Poor girl… maybe you should call Inuyasha or Koga to save you, then we could take their jewel shards. Playing with you was no fun at all." Kagura spat hatefully.
Another shot barely missed the wind witch, grazing her ear and breaking apart the beaded earring that Kagura wore. "I don't need saving… you on the other hand…" The sharpshooter grinned and stood up, pointing her pistol at Kagura. "Your aim sucks, it's only a flesh wound. And I've still got plenty of ammo left…"
"Damnable wench!" Kagura shouted, wincing in pain from her own wounds. "I don't have time for this… I'll kill you later." She pulled a feather out of the knot in her hair and enlarged it, jumping on it with a gust and beginning to rise. "See you later, little girl." She smiled evilly.
"Damn you, get back here!" She fired shots into the air, but she was already too high up for them to have any effect. "Urrrg… she got away…" Niri huffed.
-------------------------
DJ sped through the hordes of demons, slashing as many of them that came his way as he continued through. "This is no fun… they're all too weak…" he looked around.
"EEEEEEKKKK!" A feminine shout suddenly came from off to the speedy swordsman's right.
"Oro? A maiden in peril?" He chuckled and ran off in that direction at super speed. As he got closer he saw a female body silhouetted along the purple mist. "Are you alright ma'am?" He bent down to the dark-haired woman that was crumpled in the dirt there.
"I am now, thank you kind swordsman." The woman smiled sweetly.
"No problem ma'am, I'm just doing my duty, I have to protect all that need me, especially those who are precious to me." He laughed softly.
The woman blushed. "Am I… precious to you?" she placed a hand on his shoulder gently.
DJ blinked, that question had certainly caught him off guard. "Well, I dunno, maybe…" he was cut off as he felt something sharp enter his shoulder. "AH! What the hell!?" He watched as his shoulder erupted in blood, the woman's hand replaced with a demonic-looking claw.
The woman chuckled in a deeper voice. "Men are so easily fooled…" her skin began to break apart, revealing a clawed ogre-ish demon where the skin shell had been. "By simply wearing this woman's skin I could catch you off guard and gain the upper hand."
The speedy swordsman looked down in disgust at the ripped skin of the woman and back up at the demon. "How distasteful… using and desecrating a woman to fight battles that you are not able to fight yourself because you are too weak!" he growled.
The demon laughed loudly. "You think I'm weak!? I am one of the strongest demons in my region!"
"It seems in this world the strongest demons are determined by who can boast the loudest." He drew his sword and stood there for a moment, letting a drop of blood run down his arm.
"Hehehe, are you actually going to attack me or are you just going to sound there bleeding?" The demon taunted.
"Oh… this isn't my blood…"
"Huh?"
"You mean you still haven't noticed yet?"
"What?!"
"Look down…"
The demon looked down at his wrist to see that his right claw had been completely cut off. The speedy swordsman grinned broadly as he held up the demon's claw, the demon's blood running down his arm from before. "ARRRRG! You bastard! I'll kill you!" he lunged for the swordsman, who disappeared before his eyes.
"Too slow…" DJ stood on top of the demon's head, eyes closed and sword pointed downwards. He slammed the sword into the demon's skull, piercing through his mouth and jaw as well. The opponent fell over in a bloody heap as the swordsman jumped back to the ground. "That's what you get for disgracing a woman in such a manner…"
--------------------------
Dusty and Chizuru stood back to back, encircled by demons. Both of the women slashed as the demons attacked, spilling demon blood along the hot dirt. "How many ya got Kit?" The navigator smirked.
The fox girl grinned and slashed one more demon before answering. "One hundred forty seven. You?"
Chizuru chuckled nervously. "Sorry kit, one hundred fifty three." She rubbed the back of her head.
Dusty growled and began to use her acrobatics to jump between the demons. She slid along some of the serpentine ones like a slide. "Whee! Eww… demon slime!" She tried to shake some of the goo off of herself.
Chizuru sighed and shook her head. "You think you would have learned since the Sea King incident…"
"Come and get me ya dumbass demons!" The fox girl grinned and held out her scythes, beckoning the enemies closer. As they attacked, she sliced some of them in half and stabbed others with the point of one of her scythes. "There… One sixty one." She stuck her tongue out to her crewmate.
---------------
Meanwhile, Kagome, Inuyasha and the group continued slaying demons in their own way. Kagome was firing multiple sacred arrows into the demon onslaught, destroy several with each arrow. Sango was throwing her boomerang and slicing up many demons with each circular trip of her weapon. Miroku had given up using his Wind Tunnel air void because of the Saimyosho and simple smashed and sliced demons with his staff. Inuyasha was still swinging the Tessaiga, releasing an occasional Wind Scar with a few strokes.
"Damnit all, there's too many of them, there must be hundreds of thousands." Inuyasha growled, out of breath from using his sword's power so much.
"Something's wrong around here, I can sense it." Kagome's eyes narrowed as she fired off another shot.
"Well we know Naraku's behind this attack since the Saimyosho are here, but what does he want?" Miroku questioned.
"The sacred jewel, duh." Inuyasha slashed another ogre-like demon in two.
At that moment another large demon came up behind Kagome unbeknownst to her. "Kagome! Watch out!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Huh?" Kagome turned around but not fast enough, the demon closed in on her before she could draw her arrow.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of blue wind caused the demon to break apart and Kagome to disappear. A few feet away, Koga appeared with Kagome in his arms. "Thanks Koga-kun." The girl smiled brightly.
"No problem Kagome, I will always be there to protect you." Koga grinned wryly.
"Show off…" Inuyasha muttered. "Put her down you mangy wolf!"
"Why don't you make me, mutt-face?" The wolf demon snapped back.
"Uh… guys? We're still fighting a battle here, would you like to join us?" Devon appeared out of the mist, slashing demons as he went.
"Bout time you showed up, Baka-demon." Inuyasha growled, turning his attention off of Koga for a moment and back on the other demons surrounding them.
"I was otherwise engaged…" The Demon sighed and walked closer to the group, stabbing another demon in the head. His eyes caught a glint where Kagome had been standing before Koga had intervened. It was a small jar with a cork in the top with a fragment of a small pink jewel within. "The sacred jewel…" Devon muttered, picking up the jar.
"Something wrong Devon?" Kagome asked curiously, walking over to him as Koga let her down.
The blonde-haired swordsman slowly slipped his hands behind his back and slid the jar into his back pocket. As he spoke, his voice showed shame. "No… nothing at all…"
------------------------------
Devon: I don't want to betray them, but I cannot condemn Austin to death…
Hakudoshi: Give yourselves up to death and it may be less painful…
Miroku: What could Naraku want with all of these demons and this village… Inuyasha! He's stalling us!
Inuyasha: Urrrg, damn you Naraku, what's your plan for the Yokai Ki no Ai!?
Kagome: Next time! Destruction of the forest of love, Part 2! See ya soon!
Naraku: I will soon have power beyond comprehension…
