LAST TIME:
"I-in the well house." Souta then fainted, overwhelmed at what had happened. Yusuke caught him and tossed him off to one of his friends, before racing off to the well, only to find a weird guy standing on the rim of the well, with what looked like lust and the need to kill in his eyes. He was staring at a paralyzed Kagome.
(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)!(!)
"Kagome!" Yusuke yelled as he rushed to her side and got between her and the man in a defensive position. He then turned his attention to the man. "What do you want?"
"I have just killed Kikyo, and here I find her again, still alive." He smirked dangerously. "I want to rid myself of her once and for all." With that, he leapt into the air and brought out his claws, fully intending to slash Yusuke to pieces and 'Kikyo' along with him.
But another male came out of the well, this one looking exactly the same except for his claws, which were not bloody, and his eyes, which were golden amber. He didn't have the aura of one who is evil, either. He tackled the other guy in midair, successfully redirecting him into the wall of the small building. Then he backed off and went to Kagome's side, also standing in front of her in a defensive position. He spoke to her over his shoulder.
"Are you all right Kikyo? Is that bastard trying to kill you again?"
Kagome's paralysis (from fear and shock) wore off then, and she said, "I'm fine, but who the hell is Kikyo? Why is that guy trying to kill me? And why do you two look so much alike?"
He looked at her dumbfounded. "You're not Kikyo?" He took the time to sniff the air here. "Nope, you're definitely NOT Kikyo. Then why do you look like her?" The sounds of struggling were made, and out of the rubble came a very angry looking...dude. "Never mind, and to answer your question, he's a shape-shifting demon, impersonating me. He killed Kikyo for the jewel you see in his hand."
The demon finally emerged from the rubble left over from the wall, and gripped the jewel tightly in his left hand. "I worked hard to get this, and no one is going to take it from me."
"Feh. Whatever. All you did was convince a bunch of evil, power- hungry demons to feast on your equally evil and power-hungry soul, after all Kikyo did for you, and then you go and KILL her because you have a crush on her. I do NOT call that hard work, and she didn't deserve to die!" the new guy yelled.
By this time, Yusuke's other companions had arrived at the well house. The sight they saw astounded them: two guys, one of them their good friend Yusuke, were standing in between a girl and another guy who looked like he needed to kill something. Interesting...
Suddenly, the evil demon decided to commence a rain of attacks, all centered near Kagome or the man he was impersonating. Yusuke was busy enough defending his cousin, so he didn't have time to rejoice at not being attacked. Glancing out of the corner of his eyes for a split second, Yusuke saw that his friends were watching, dumbfounded, from the open doorway.
"Kagome," he said between dodges, "Get out of here. Go with one of my friends. I'll come get you when we get this guy down. Move!" With that, he deliberately backed into her, pushing her into to his friends.
She fell right into the strong arms of the tallest one. She looked up at him and locked eyes, gazing at their green depths, before she realized she needed to be going. He seemed to have that same reaction, as he quickly lifted her back onto her feet and pulled her out the door with him.
Mr. Evil shoved his way past Yusuke and continued on his path towards 'Kikyo.' Confident nothing would get in his way, he arched back his right arm and prepared to slash her frail form in half, claws fully extended. The one who had caught her turned and blocked his path, using a strange, thorny whip to capture his wrist and gouge it deeply, drawing blood.
"I don't have time for this!" the demon snarled, and without another thought, yanked the whip from his body as if it caused no pain. He flung it to the ground, away from them both, and hurried on past the offender, quickly gaining on his precious prey.
When he reared back for another assault though, a short, black-haired male turned and pulled out his katana, successfully placing a large bloody gash in his side as he streaked past. He returned, meaning to end his life once and for all, but the demon had once again gone ahead, stumbling a bit at first but otherwise unharmed.
Kagome was running down the tall shrine steps with only two of Yusuke's friends left who could help her. She didn't know how long she would be able to take this. The shape-shifter was gaining, and she was already at top speed. The orange-haired one she had recognized earlier as Kuwabaka was falling behind. There was no time to wait though, as her life was in danger and he had his eyes on no one else.
That left one person in her defense: the punk-dressed stranger. She really hoped he was trustworthy in battle. He was definitely fast, but speed is NOT the only thing that counts in a fight, especially in one against a demon.
They had gotten to the base of the steps when the punk called out, "Stop!" and stood directly in front of her preparing his defense until some of the others got there. She skidded to a halt and backtracked so she was immediately by him, making her all the more easily protected. Kagome stood there, frightened.
She watched as the others came rushing down the stairs over the demon's shoulder, and then as the demon finally ushered in the first blow. It all seemed as if it was in slow motion to her. She saw the guy's claws extend and reach out for her, and also watched at the young man shielding her created a kind of barrier of spirit energy to stop him in his tracks.
The demon was getting angry, and was tired of waiting to get what he so desired. His glare became more heated and a miasma began to form around him. Kagome's eyes widened and the teen in front of her backed up ever so slightly, grabbing a hold of her arm with his hand in preparation to escape.
The cloud of miasmic energy surrounding him, the demon leapt forward preparing to murder both targets at once. Once again, it all seemed slow motion; as he reached forward, Kagome was swept into the arms of Yusuke's friend and pulled out of danger, but she saw her chance and swiped the jewel from his left fist. It had been left unguarded during his onslaught.
Instantly, the miasma dissipated, the demon disappearing as well, and a pink glow began to emanate from the jewel as she held it in her palm. As she was set down on the ground, still staring at the gem, transfixed, its glow grew brighter, purer, and it floated in the air before her.
"What...?" Kagome had time to say (which wasn't much now, was it?) before the shine ceased and it dropped, almost floated, back into her waiting palm.
Yusuke arrived then, out of breath, and hugged her still form. "Kagome! Are you okay? Did that demon hurt you?" Then he noticed she was staring at something in her palm. Several emotions crossed her gaze: wonder, happiness, pain, confusion.
"Kagome?" he asked again, shaking her out of the trance. "Kagome, what is it?"
"It's the Shikon no Tama," she whispered back, completely in awe.

Star: Hello there! For those of you who might be wondering, Yami is not my character. Yes, he is a made-up, but not by me.

Star: If any of you criticize the character of Yami, do not blame your not- liking-him-ness on me, because I am, as they say, just the messenger.
Scythe: And he has never had a test run before now, so we're hoping he works out!
Yami: You make it sound like I'm a remote control car or something...
Star: He can talk?
Yami: 'Course I can. What, did you forget already that I talked in this chapter?
