CHAPTER FOUR
Next day, Kagome woke up and heard footsteps coming near her. Fearing that they will suspect something because of her clothing, Kagome reached for the nearest tree branches and struggled until she was up.
Two demons, one looking slightly irritated and the other smiling mischievously were talking about the newest battle that Inu-Yasha had been in.
"I hear he didn't even know that it was a demon until too late" Said the one with the mischievous grin.
"What do you mean? Of course he knew it was a demon. He didn't want to let on though." Said the other with a slight grin as well.
"Ha ha! Don't even try to hide it I know it was you, Hsike" Said the first.
"No. I wouldn't dream of it," Hsike said sarcastically. "How'd you know it was me?"
"That was to obvious. Everyone knows you can transform into a mouse. How did you end up scaring him? Did he just freak out or something and jump up on the chair screaming. He's supposed to be the one that's going to be our leader? Ha! I don't believe it."
"I don't either. He's a complete wimp. He won't be able to protect himself. Let alone anyone else. He's already proved that, bringing that old mortal here and expecting him to do something. ::snort:: He was to busy hiding to help the old man when confronted by Tuashimaga. He won't be able to help us at all. He's pathetic. I bet you he wont make it through the first day with us. He's going to train us? Ha! He's......"
"Why you," Kagome yelled as she jumped from the tree branch landing on the
first demon, and pulled his ears backward.
"Ah! GET IT OFF!" He screamed in annoyance.
The second demon simply grabbed Kagome with ease and lifts her off. "Look's
like a dog-thingy to me. What do you think of it?"
Before the other could answer, Kagome burst out, "I'm a girl you idiot! Let me go!"
"Ooh feisty one isn't it, oh sorry she. Ha ha ha!" The one holding Kagome said sarcastically. "What is she dressed in? Maybe that's her uniform? Who knows what Inu-Yasha's going to make us wear.
"Whump" Kagome's hand slammed into the side of the demon who just commented on her clothing's, face. He stumbled backward into the tree.
"Ow! Why you......" The demon stepped menacingly towards Kagome.
He grabbed Kagome's arm, and then quickly jumped away, as if he had been burned.
Hsike glared at Kagome, and started moving toward her. "What did you do to---" He gasped. "The Shikon Jewel! She has a shard of the Jewel!" He yelled.
The other demon moved towards her. "So she does. Hmm. That's a pity. She's to weak to carry around something of such importance. We'll have to take it, as I'm sure we would be better for the job," he said as they closed in on Kagome.
"Hmmm. Too bad. Inu-Yasha will have one less demon to train for war. What's your name, girl, so that we can tell him we came upon your body, just as you were about to die, and you just had time to give us the jewel?"
Kagome thought for a second. They would try to kill her. They wouldn't succeed, of course, because she had the jewel, but--- She decided to give them a name, not her real one, in case Inu-Yasha heard about her. He would kill her, if these two didn't.
"Well?" Hsike questioned.
"Uhh... Emogak," Kagome answered. She just spelt her name backwards.
"What a strange name! I don't think it even /is/ a name! Oh well," They moved in closer, trapping her against a tree.
They were just about to attack, when they heard a voice.
"Stop right now..."
"What? who-who's there?," Hsike exclaimed.
"You are not worthy of questioning me. I am......." The voice drifted off.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's Tuashimaga! Run!" Screamed the second demon.
The two demons ran off through the bushes leaving Kagome where she is. She glanced around but can't see anything. Could it really be Tuashimaga?
