"So, Hollow?" A priest named Miroku asked.
"Yes?" Hollow had just met the whole group that was helping Inuyasha renew the Shikon no Tama. Including Kagome, (The girl who shot the arrow at her.) Sango (The demon exterminator.) and her neko, (Kiearra.) Miroku, (The priest.) Shippou, (The kitsune.) and, of course, Inuyasha.
"Will you do me the honor of bearing my child?" Miroku asked bravely. Hollow just sat there looking stunned. There was finally some movement. Hollow delivered the hardest slap Miroku have ever had. She slapped him so hard; Miroku could've got a speeding ticket.
"That was a nice slap!" Sango said. "Especially for certain perverted monks..." Hollow suddenly got up.
"What? What is it?" Kagome asked.
"Demon." Hollow managed to say. "Smells like... bat."
"Really? Are you sure?" Inuyasha said.
"Positive. Check for yourself if you don't believe me..." Then again, nobody ever believes me... Hollow thought.
"She's right." Inuyasha smirked. "It's time to get some shards." Inuyasha and Hollow ran towards the forest. The others followed. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows while Sango headed into the forest with her Hirogotsu at the ready. Miroku hurried off with his staff and was ready to release his wind tunnel in case of an ambush. Shippou... well... he just ran...no, ran isn't the right word...stumbled through the forest.
"A cave..." Inuyasha said.
"Thank you Mr. Obvious!" Hollow said. The cave was very dark and moist... it was just plain creepy...
"No way I'm going in there!" Shippou screamed.
"Yeah, okay. Stay out here where the spiders will eat you." Inuyasha poked at Shippou. Shippou squeaked and ran to the protection of Kagome's shoulder.
"I'm going in." Hollow said. "Anyone with me?"
"I'll go with you." Sango said reaching for her Hirogotsu.
"Me too." Inuyasha said.
"Okay, I hope this demon plays his cards right... I want a real challenge!" Hollow ran into the cave with Inuyasha and Sango at her heels.
As they entered the cave, they heard the fluttering of bat wings, disturbed by their presence. Squeaking and a furry of battling wings filled the dark cave. An outraged roar echoed off the stalagmite walls making Hollow, Sango, and Inuyasha nervous. A shady figure the size of an aircraft swiftly made it's way through the cave towards the trio.
"I can see the shards!" Hollow yelled.
"What? Really? Where are they!" Inuyasha asked.
"There are two shards... one in each wings." The figure appeared to be the bat leader. He was massive! His razor sharp claws targeted Hollow. Hollow smirked. Finally! Some competition! She thought. The bat bounded Hollow to the cave wall with his massive claws. His huge grey wings boxed her in, surrounding her. Hollow struggled while ignoring the screams and insults from Inuyasha and Sango. The bat licked his lips and Hollow clenched her hands into fists. Hollow grinned.
"I'm so glad you played you cards right." Hollow looked at each jewel shard. Easy. Hollow reached for her trusty pocketknife. Making sure she was silent with her little "plan" Hollow ripped both wings at whiplash speed. The bat was stunned and was dead laying in his own pool of crimson blood by the time Hollow's pocketknife returned to her protection.
"Let's get the jewel shards and get out of the cave. Inuyasha looked like he was stunned as they exited the cave with two more pieces to the Shikon no Tama.
