Ch 2: Kikyo, not Kagome

A tiger demon bounced off the treetops, carrying a person in her arms. She sniffed around for her sister. (They were not really sisters, but called each other so.) The scent led her to a river where VesuVesu was strangling a maiden.

"You will tell me where the jewel is or you will die."

"Oh, honestly," JunJun said to her sister, "must you go for the neck? You're so predictable." She threw her hostage on the ground.

It was Kikyo.

"Kikyo!" InuYasha yelled.

JunJun turned into a giant tiger and took both Kikyo and Kagome in her mouth. She lifted her head up and threw them to the ground.

InuYasha leapt up into the air, heading toward Kagome. She reached out for him. He flew right past her and enveloped Kikyo in his arms.

Kagome hit the ground with a sickening thud. She was bleeding, her arm was broken, and her body was bruised.

InuYasha gently set Kikyo down and turned to glare at JunJun and VesuVesu.

"You can do what you want to me, you can do what you want to her," here he jerked his thumb at Kagome, "but don't hurt Kikyo."

InuYasha brought out a fully powered Tetsusaiga and slashed at the sisters. Too fast to be seen, they were cut up in tiny pieces, hearts included.

He turned to Kagome.

"Kagome."

Kagome ran off.
