55- Demise
There was movement in the corner of her eye.
Kagome turned but saw nothing.
A shrub rustled.
She snapped her head in its direction.
Red eyes leered at her from the bushes.
Oh god.
The tiger demon emerged.
Kagome immediately turned and ran, feeling the fear fuel her legs.
No arrows.
She heard the leaves crunch underneath the creature, getting ready to pounce.
No Inuyasha.
She zigzagged, hoping to get more distance, hoping to elude. But she knew…
No chance.
She stumbled and managed to turn just as the demon leapt—
And attacked.
A spray of blood hit the trees.
