Somebody Call The Exorcist! OO

Chapter 2: Troublesome Demon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sisters packed what little they had and started for the village with the man. Sango got to ride on Kirara with Kikyo and Kagome rode on the horse with the man from the demon infested village. She looked at him. He looked deeply disturbed.

"Is it really that bad?" Kagome asked quietly.

He was startled by her speaking. He glanced back at her then nodded.

Kagome gulped. She had seen demons before, but what if it were a massacre? Ever since she was little she had been shielded from battle scenes and the true images of war. What is there were corpses? And blood? She gulped again and tried to get ahold of herself. Kikyo and Sango definitely weren't backing down, so neither was she! She had already vowed to herself that she was going to do this.

After a few hours, their came the sound of far off shrieks and the inhuman screeching of something horrid in the distance. Kagome shivered in fear.

"Alright! Let's go!" Sango said to Kirara. The giant cat roared and started going faster. The man started to make his horse go faster which put a lump in Kagome's throat right away! She gritted her teeth and thought, 'I can do this! I can do this!'

They came riding into the village where a dark cloud of demons hovered and blocked the sun. It was just as the man had explained, demons everywhere!! Long demons, round demons, big demons, small demons, horrifying demons, ugly demons. Luckily, a majority of them were low level demons.

"Alright girls!" Kikyo said getting off of Kirara. "Let's move out!" she started toward the lake.

"Kirara!" Sango said, and she and the wild cat went flying off to her battle grounds.

Kagome looked at her bow and arrows. Why couldn't she be as good at shooting them as Kikyo? She didn't really care to have Sango's kind of weapon. It was big and bulky. Arrows were easier to carry around, but Sango was probably used to carrying the heavy demon bone. She sighed, 'Out with the negative energy, in with the good.' She put up the best barrier she could around herself and started to walk toward the church.

Surprisingly, the demons really didn't seem to notice her. And the ones who did only bounced off of her barrier then slithered, crawled or whatever it was they did away. It was an okay barrier, I mean, it kept out those kinds of demons, but the stronger demons could probably break it easily.

She walked up the steps of the church and sighed again. 'Here goes nothing.' She thought. She opened the doors and stepped inside. It was dark. Perfect. That gave whatever demons that may be there the advantage to sneak up on her. She looked around. In her library of priestess techniques, she had her weak barrier, and the Sight. Which was she could see certain things like spirits and such. She looked around. Nothing.

"What a JIP!" she said tossing her bow and arrow case on the ground. She folded her arms. "I knew there were no demons here!" then all of a sudden she felt the presence of someone sneaking up behind her and a foreign intruder touching her butt. She squeaked and spun around quick to see a monk.

He smiled and said, "Hello!" in a happy little way, happy to see her, happy to cop a feel! Then he said, "If I were to tell you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

Yep! Found the demon!

WACK!!

The priest reeled from the force of her slap.

Kagome stood there with her hand still raised. "Vile demon!" she said.

"Me?! A demon!" he held up his hands in defense. "No no! I am but a monk!"

"The fudge you are!" she said. Then she heard a creaking in the darkness, as if something was leaping around. "What's that?" she asked quietly.

There was an echoing laughter and a breeze of cold air hit her. She shivered and heard a voice chanting in the dark. "Girl that is new, is it me that you pursue? Find the demon with darkness he does disguise, you might get a surprise!"

She looked around listening to the swift leaps, the swish of clothing in the wind. Then the sound of his leaps stopped. She looked around, holding her breath trying to hear. Why did the sound stop.

"RAH!!" All of a sudden she found herself face to face with the demon. Long, wild silver hair, evil blood red eyes, and two pointed dog ears. It was enough to make her wet her pants! (but she didn't, btw....) She went running out of the church screaming. She threw open the doors and ran down the steps where she froze. Sango and Kikyo stood there looking at her blankly. Kirara sat on Sango's head in kitten form.

"What's up, Kagome?" Sango asked. "Did you purify the church yet?"

"Uh," Kagome started.

"Because we're all done, we're ready to leave when you are." Kikyo said. And it was true. A big heap of demon corpses sat piled up behind them.

Kagome sweat dropped nervously. 'Oh crap!' she thought. "Actually, I was looking for you, to-ask if you wanted to watch. Yeah! That's it!"

Sango and Kikyo exchanged glances then looked back at her.

"Sure!" Sango said. ^__^

"Love to!" Kikyo chimed in. ^__^

Kagome laughed fakely and walked back up the church steps with heavy feet. She opened the door and into the darkness again.

Sango squinted. "I can't see a freakn' thing!" she said.

Kikyo looked around. "I can." She pointed. "There's the demon!"

They looked up in time to see a shadow dart away and disappear again.

"He's fast!" Kikyo said. She patted Kagome on the shoulder and asked. "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Kagome heard the demon's evil laughter again and gulped. "Yes, I can do this." She said, trying not to sound nervous.

Then they heard Sango scream and Kagome almost wet her pants again. (AN: Third times the charm!)

The scream was followed by a smack and she was seen next to the perverted monk who now was smiling with two handprints on his face. "Who the heck are you?!" Sango asked holding her backside.

He smiled at them and said, "My name is Miroku, and I am a servant of Buddha." He did the one handed prayer thing and nodded. He was cute, but a total lech!

"Yeah? Well if you're a servant of Buddha, why don't YOU exorcise this demon?" Sango asked waving a finger at him.

He just smiled and walked off.

"Fake!" she shouted after him and crossed her arms.

Kagome walked over and stood in the center of the room, light poured in through the window and sort of put a spotlight on her. She heard the demon bouncing around the room and Kikyo was able to see what he was doing! Kagome was feeling pretty lousy self esteem wise, so she desided to get the exorcism over and done with. She heard the evil laughter again.

"That's it!" Kagome said. She looked for Miroku, but he wasn't there so she turned on the closest person in the room. "Sango? Could you put some light in here?"

"Huh? Okay." She nodded and went to go light the torches. When the lights came on, the demon stood directly in front of Kagome. She jumped back because he was so close. She used a lot of will power just then to stop herself from running. He laughed evilly in an low cackle that was mixed with a growl. "Who are you? Why are you in my church?" he asked her.

She sat on her knees with her exorcism equipment. Should she tell him? Would she regret it later if she did?

His evil grin spread to show his sharp fangs. "Cat got your tongue?"

She set her supplies on the floor and tried not to look afraid, though she knew she was already doing a horrible job at that. "I'm S-S- Sister K-Kagome." She stuttered, which she knew really made her look like she was chicken. "I-I'm here to purify you!"

Then to her horror, he threw his head back and laughed loudly.

She wanted to curl herself into a little ball and disappear. "Why are you laughing at me?" she asked.

He stopped laughing and smiled at her. "That's funny! You? Purify me? HAH! Do you even know who I am?"

She looked down at the floor.

He smirked and said, "I am Inu Yasha, a fearless dog demon, and I will not be purified by the likes of you!"

She winced and he continued to demorilize her. "You're pitiful! I can read you like a scroll, and you are nothing but a worthless greenhorn wannabe priestess not worth-"

"Before you start bashing my sister!" Kiko said irritatedly. "I suggest you cover your own weaknesses! You aren't completely demon, I can tell!"

Inu Yasha glared at Kikyo then turned his attention back to Kagome. "I'm still the strongest in the bunch that attacked the village. They might go down easily, but I won't."

"But why?" Kagome asked. "If you are the strongest, why posses the church?"

He laughed again and did a flip to crouch by the wall. "I won't merely tell! That's too easy! If you can get me into a satisfactory bind then I might do just!"

He didn't look like he was planning on attacking her. Kagome wondered why. She then realized she should take advantage and start setting up for the exorcism. She started to look through the scrolls for her exorcism scroll when she heard the demon say. "What a pretty little girl."

She looked up startled to see him looking down at her with an evil manipulative smile. He was evil but, -god!- at the same time, so beautiful. She sweat dropped nervously then went back to trying to find the scroll. Gods! Where was it?! Why did she have to bring so many freaking scrolls with her! Scroll of flame wall....Scroll of bianary detachment.....here! Scroll of Exorcism. She opened it and laid it out. She heard the demon laughing at her and it was hard for her to concentrate. He skipped around her laughing as she lit a small wick in a dish of oil. He went up behind her and plucked a hair out of her head. She felt the quick sting and reacted by putting her hand on her head. She watched him dance around laughing and waving the hair. She gave him a funny nervous look.

"Ignore him, Kagome! He's trying to distract you!" Sango said.

Kagome looked over at her and nodded hesitantly. She reached out for her charcoal when Inu Yasha leapt by and grabbed it first. She held out her hand in the direction that he left. She watched as he jumped on top of the rafters and left the charcoal there. Then he jumped down and started running around and laughing again. She decided to just go ahead and start the prayer. She put her hands together and nodded her head forward. She started to whisper, "Demon find peace, your unrest must cease, demon disappear, you do not belong here-"

All of a sudden he jumped behind her and stuck his face in her hair. She winced and made a scared sound. He inhaled loudly. He laughed again then continued to bounce around the room like a maniac. She tried to do her chant again, "Demon find peace, your unrest must cease, demon disappear, you do not belong here-"

He started to chant, "Blood of the earth and waters from the river of stix, the almighty choose whosoever he picks, and with his red shiney talons he makes, a world of chaos and mistakes, to battle the good that doth sing, to choak their vocal chords and screams will ring, throughout his halls of cockroaches and ticks, from the blood of the earth and water from the river of stix!"

(AN: I should be a poet! ^_^)

Kagome was getting confused as he started to chant louder then her, his devilish words where also quiet disturbing. She dropped her hands at her sides and started to tremble like she was going to cry. Her sisters looked over at her worriedly.

The laughing and chanting stopped then with a 'feh', he said, "Aww, what's the matter? Is the witto pwiestess goin' to cwy?"

She looked up at him enraged. "No! I won't cry!" she stood up glaring at him and he just smiled back. Then she said, "As god as my witness, I will purify you!"
