Inuyasha and the New Moon
Chapter 3
Their legs hurt, their lungs burned, and sweat clouded their eyes, but Inuyasha and his friends continued to run. It was still a mile until they would get to the purple glow. 'Getting chased by a horde of demons is sure incentive to run faster!' Miroku thought. If it hadn't been for a recent encounter with Naraku's poison insects, he would use the ever-growing hole in his hand to suck them all in.
"Damn you Naraku!" Miroku said aloud.
"Save your breath!" said Sango. "We still have a half a mile to go!" This was true. They did still have a ways to go.
"Wait a minute…" said Shippou. "Where's Kirara?" Kirara was nowhere in sight. But they had no time to wonder where Kirara was, for they had to run from their impending doom.
At a quarter of a mile away, they could see the purple shield over the gigantic mountain ahead. The demons were gaining on them, and they couldn't run any faster.
"Dammit!" said Inuyasha. "I'm so tired!"
"I don't think I can run any more!" said the exhausted Kagome.
"We have to keep going!" said Sango in earnest. "We're almost there!"
"Besides!" said Miroku. "I can't die now! I still don't have a son to take my place!" Inuyasha and friends would have fallen over anime style, but they were too busy running. And it was lucky for Miroku that Sango was running, because at that moment, she desperately wanted to smack him on his perverted head.
Just then, a demon grabbed Kagome's ankle, and dragged her back into the crowd of demons.
"Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha. He stopped and turned around to face the demons.
"Bastards!" he yelled. "Let her go!"
"Oh, I see we've hit a hot spot, haven't we?" said Demon 1. He grabbed Kagome by the hair.
"Inu…yasha…" said Kagome weakly. Her face was scratched and a bruise was already forming on her arm. Suddenly, Sango's weapon flew from out of nowhere and took down about ten demons at once.
Inuyasha took his chance and dashed out to save Kagome. Kirara finally appeared and ran next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha held Kagome and leapt onto Kirara. The others joined him on Kirara and Kirara bounded towards the purple glow.
They were safe! Inside the purple glow, they could finally rest for a bit.
"Are you a half demon?" a strange guy asked Inuyasha.
"Yeah, so what!" said Inuyasha testily.
"Hey! No need to get angry!" said the strange guy. "I am too. My name's Kilaro."
"Yeah, hi," said Inuyasha.
"Don't worry Kilaro," said Kagome. "He's usually like this."
"I understand," said Kilaro. "Anyway, since you are a half demon…um…"
"Inuyasha," said Inuyasha.
"Ah, Inuyasha. We half demons have formulated a plan to fight the demons that want to kill us."
