CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
All around her, Kagome could hear the screams of burning demons. Thankfully none of those screams sounded familiar.
She was running around trying to find the nearest edge of the forest. Inu-Yasha still hadn't regained consciousness. The flames were right behind her, licking at her bare
skin. Then there, she could see the edge of the forest.
As she ran out of the forest the flames decreased in heat and the smoke lightened. She still couldn't help coughing though.
"Lina? Is that you?" Hsike called. He was further up on the hill and out of the reach of the flames and the smoke.
"Yeah. Can you help me?" Kagome called back.
"Sure!" Hsike said and he turned around to the rest of the group and called, "It's Lina. Get some water!" Before he could say anything else the wind came up and Kagome saw the flag Hsike was holding fly away. That was all she saw though, because the smoke and flames were beginning to surround her again.
*This isn't good.* Kagome thought to herself. *What can I do now?* Just as she thought this she caught sight of the flag that had flown away. She grabbed it and began to beat out some of the flame.
It worked but the smoke was beginning to effect her and the burns on her arms was aching badly. She was feeling sick to her stomach with the threat of death right there, but she had to keep going.
Kagome had been fighting the flames so much she had used up all her strength. She fell over exhausted and landed right in the arms of a just waking up Inu-Yasha.
"Help. We're over here." Inu-Yasha called. Not long after he called, the group of good demons came running.
Kagome's vision went blurry and all she heard was Inu-Yasha saying, "it's OK. Stay with us Lina." Then she blacked out.
