Inuyasha and the New Moon
Chapter 2
Inuyasha trudged along muttering things like 'too long of a walk' and 'safe haven, like I need one!'. Kagome eyed him questioningly, wondering if he was ever going to apologize. 'He's not and you know it!' she thought to herself. She sighed and walked along looking at the ground. 'Just once' she thought. 'I wish that I could hear an apology from him'. But she forgave him silently anyway. She wondered why she could forgive him so easily, but decided not to ask herself that question. Some things are just best left alone.
"Hurry!" whispered Miroku. "The demons are catching up!" Sango snatched a look behind her and to her dismay, a horde of demons were steadily approaching. She urged the group to go faster. In no time, they were running to keep out of the sights of the demons. Even Inuyasha knew that he could not take on that many demons in his current state. Suddenly, a strange, purple glow was appearing on the horizon.
"We're almost there!" exclaimed Shippou. "Enchanted Peak is but a mile away!" The group slowed down a bit in relief.
"I smell human flesh!" yelled a demon behind them. "It's coming from just ahead!"
"Come on, it might be a stupid half-demon!" yelled another. The group looked at one another, and then began to run.
"Kirara!" yelled Sango. The once small cat suddenly became a huge hulking demon. Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku jumped on. Shippou was left to turn into a bird of something of the kind.
"Thanks a lot for waiting!" he skwaked. He perched on Kirara's head, and went back to normal. Just then, a demon flew up and knocked Kagome and Inuyasha off Kirara.
"Aaaaaahhhh!" they both screamed on the way down. Kirara tried valiantly to save them, but she was too late. Luckily, they both landed on a soft pad of dirt, and were unharmed. For the moment, at least.
"Hmmm… Fresh meat!" said the first demon.
"I call the legs of the girl!" said the second. Kagome drew her bow and arrow, and Inuyasha pulled out his sword.
"Oh, so you intend to fight us do you?" the first demon said. "Well, you won't last very long. You are merely humans." That was true. They were merely humans standing up to thousands of demons. Kagome looked over the horizon to see a limping Kirara coming towards them.
"Kirara can't fly!" whispered Kagome to Inuyasha. "What are we going to do?!" Inuyasha was fuming by now at the thought of being called 'merely human'.
"I'll tell you what we'll do!" he said. Then, he stood up and announced. "We fight!" Inuyasha sliced through one demon with his nicked sword and began on another. Kagome was killing four or five demons per arrow. To her dismay, Inuyasha brought her bloody arrows right back to her, for her to reuse. The demons, surprised at the humans' audacity, were stunned for a few precious moments. When they recovered and began to fight back, Kirara and the others joined the fray and cleared a pathway towards the glowing purple light.
"Run for it!" yelled Sango, and that's just what they did. They ran swiftly towards the purple light, forgetting their fatigue. They ran for their lives.
