Disclaimer: Nope, not mine. Nothing Inuyasha related is mine. Sigh, I wish I did own it. But poor Inu-chan isn't.
Foreword: Ah, sorry readers for making you wait like crazy for this next chapter. But here it is! Also, I won't forget to upload the rest of the chapters either, so don't worry, heehee!
-Chapter 5: Hopeless?-
The spider crawled over to Inuyasha, and it's now-again cocky voice spoke to him, "See, now she's going to suffer. And you too. You had a chance to live, but you lost. Now I shall kill you both."
Kagome watched with widened eyes as the spider-demon went over to Inuyasha, and she bit her lower lip from the sharp pain the string made from wrapping around her. She had to free herself, to help Inuyasha! Even if she did, how could she help? Her bow and arrows weren't here. She had to find a way to help Inuyasha, even if she's trapped.
Again, she pulled at the strings and winced when it sunk in. She looked up, to see the half-demon, who in turn had looked past the spider to look at her. Pain, there was pain in his eyes, not from physical pain, but from the face that he can't protect her. She looked way and around, there had to be a way!
Inuyasha looked up to the spider, who just seemed to be thinking or just waiting. He continued to follow it with narrowed golden eyes as it started to crawl around them, and over to Kagome. It 'stood' on two of its legs, with one of the legs he wasn't using touching Kagome's face.
"Don't you dare touch her again!"
He cried, starting to struggle out again. Damn! The web was like metal or something, all he did was to tighten them, which finally had begun to pierce his skin. The spider turned around, hearing his voice, and crawled back in front of him, a grin on its face.
"Little doggy no want the miko to get hurt? Hmm, tell you what, I'll make another deal. I kill the girl quickly, but I play with you as well I get the Shikon Jewel shards."
The Jewel shards? Kagome was confused didn't the spider not want them before? She supposed that the demon had nothing to lose by gaining them, or maybe it didn't even want to use them? She just didn't understand this spider-demon. She gave a pull at her wrists again, but stopped quickly- something caught the corner of her eye.
Inuyasha growled, now it wanted the Shikon Jewel? He glanced again over to Kagome, and noticed that she had seen something. What could it be? He tried to follow her gaze, but could only see the bushes… Maybe he couldn't see it from his direction, or the fact that he didn't even know what to look for may have something to do with it.
The spider had become bored quite quickly. It waited for Inuyasha, or Kagome, to make a decision. It seemed to him that it would make sense if they chose to let Kagome die quickly- and he'll harvest her soul after. As for the Jewel shards? He could use them to lure others into his traps. He waited for a response. But they were both trying to see something, and this annoyed him much.
"No one there, no-no, if you're trying to look for help. Some followed, but they can't come here."
Kagome suddenly remembered Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Where were they, they could sure use the help! They probably were trapped by the Spider somehow, she thought bitterly, and she let go of the hope of them coming to help them. She turned her eyes over to the Spider, who had very quickly appeared before her.
"Your doggy won't seal the deal, how about you then? Quick death over slow, antagonizing death, hmm?"
The spider ran a clawed leg at the side of her face, leaving a scratch that seemed like it was going to bleed, but didn't. It cackled, and was bring its fangs closer to Kagome's neck, and she instinctively moved back, or at least attempted to.
Before she could even think of a response, she saw that Inuyasha had brought his hands together, his wrists started to bleed. With difficulty, but succeeding, he coated his fingers with his blood and threw the blood at the spider's back. He cried out as the red attack reached the spider.
"BLADES OF BLOOD!"
The attack had got the spider off guard, and it shrieked as it tumbled past Kagome. It wasn't dead, but it was injured. It growled, it wasn't happy at all, nope. Growling still, it turned around to face Inuyasha, and crawled quickly over to him. The strings pulled his wrists forcibly far apart, no way now to repeat the attack.
"The half-breed dares attack me like that? Not funny, not funny. Now I'm mad."
Inuyasha though against his wishes, winced as the strings kept pulling at her wrists and ankles. Was there nothing he could do? Only stay trapped by the almost-clear strings of the spider-demon's web? He growled and stared with angry amber-coloured eyes.
The spider hissed at him, snapping his two fangs at the hanyou's face, but not touching him. Yet. He turned his head, looking around, and looked over to Kagome. Except for the obvious blood creeping down her wrists, scratched face, and the pained expression, she seemed okay.
AT THE SAME TIME
Sango looked around desperately, and tugged at the strings holding her by her wrists and ankles. Not holding her tightly, it didn't really hurt, but more like to just keep her in her place. She had to get out, help the others! Her boomerang was close to her, but still too far for her to even think of reaching it.
And Miroku? Where was the monk? Last thing that happened was that after she was caught, she told him to keep following the spider, to try to suck it into the hole of his hand. The two of them also decided that Shippo should stay behind, no point of him being risked at this dangerous spider-demon.
She grunted, pulling again at her wrists. There had to be a way to escape the web-strings, there was nothing was completely unbreakable. She followed the string connecting from her hands, and saw that it simple wrapped around a nearby tree's branch. Looking down at her feet, her ankles' strings were connected to tree roots too.
Not too far from Sango though, but far enough so neither of them knew, Miroku too was in the same situation as demon-slayer, he too was trapped by the spider-demon with the webs wrapped around his wrists and ankles, except he also was tied up against a tree unlike any of the others.
He pulled slightly, and frowned at seeing it was really rooted well. Looking down near him, his staff was on the ground, untouched after he had dropped it when the spider unexpectedly had it's webs shoot up from the ground.
Oh, he was so close! The void of his hand was sucking in the spider. But it had tied itself with its own webs, making it harder to take him. Though when it gained the extra time, it shot off another of its webs to his hand, wrapping also along with it the rosary-beads that stopped the hole.
Miroku thought about it, and suddenly realized even if he had sucked in the spider- it would have done no good. It was a fake one of itself. When it was struck by Sango's boomerang, it was not even scratched. The strings were real though, probably being controlled from whether the spider was. That meant the real one with Kagome and Inuyasha…
From the bushes at the exact moment came out Shippo, and he scrambled over quickly to Miroku. Before either of them could say anything, the little fox ran to the back of the tree, and pulled off the strings somehow.
"How did you take them off, Shippo?"
"I don't know, they come off easy."
It was strange indeed, but once those were pulled off, the monk pulled off the rest of them, and dropped down the ground. He rubbed his wrists, then leaned down to take hold of his staff and looked to Shippo. Then they went off to free Sango as well.
