Inu-yasha sniffed the air as he raced after Sakura. Stopping suddenly, he smelled a scent he'd know anywhere. Kagome's... Turning, he told Sakura to hurry, he would be along soon. With a nod, Sakura vanished among the bushes. As he went towards the well, Inu-yasha sniffed again...there were some new smells, and one of them was definitely a demon, the others smelled like humans...


A long lizard-like demon examined the girls carefully. "Hmm...I sense the Shikon No Tama." He flickered his tongue in pure joy. "I shall take it after I devour you, for I have not tasted sweet woman flesh for a long time." Panicked, Kari screamed, "NO WAY!!" When Ranko heard her scream, she leaped at the demon and bit him. With a loud roar of pain, the demon dropped the girls and grabbed the dog. "How dare you defy the all mighty Salamander demon!!" "Salamander demon?" Kari raised an eyebrow. "Yesss," slithered the Salamander demon, bearing his teeth in an evil smile. "But I thought that salamanders didn't have teeth..." Kari muttered, raking her brain. "Yesssss," slithered the Salamander demon again. "But I am a special Salamander, my mother gave me the despicable name of Gerry, so I changed my name to something more sinister....more evil...more demonic. I AM GERRYMANDER!!!!!"

On hearing this, Kari and Katharine doubled over in laughter. "HAHAHAHA!! Gerr-, Gerry-, phahahaha!" Kat managed to snort out. "Phahahaha! What are you going to do? Make sure the democrats win?!" Kari laughed. Kagome stood dumbfounded nearly, watching silently. "Oh ya, you wouldn't get it, 'cause the Republicans already won!" Katharine howled with laughter.


Haha...ok... sorry my friend and I were feeling really stupid today. In history class, we were learning about "gerrymandering" and we just had to add that in the story. Sorry. Anyway, here's how the story really went:
A long lizard-like demon examined the girls carefully. "Hmm...I sense the Shikon No Tama." He flickered his tongue in pure joy. "I shall take it after I devour you, for I have not tasted sweet woman flesh for a long time." The large salamander demon lifted Kagome up in one hand and the other girls in the other hand. Kagome looked up at the salamander demon's face, knowing she was completely helpless. Well, at least there was one last thing she could do. She quickly lowered her head, opened her mouth, and dug her teeth into the demon's hand. The demon laughed evilly. "You think you can discourage me with your little flea bites?" With the last two words, Kagome remembered that her teeth were not the last hope... (maybe they were, lol)

During the whole exchange between Kagome and the demon, Kat was watching in wonder. Where were they? She squirmed and started prying open the demon's hand. He was too busy with Kagome to even notice. With all the squirming, Kari felt something hard in her pouch. "Since when did I have anything hard in there?" She thought as Kat fell out of the demon's grip and hit the ground with a thud. Kari suddenly thought of a wonderful idea, even though she had no idea how it would turn out. She slipped out of the demon's hand also, then reached into her pouch with one hand. Steadying herself, she leaped off his hand and grabbed his upper lip. Carefully balancing herself by putting her left foot on his bottom lip, Kari reached into her pouch and... WHAM!!!

The salamander's face was flattened like a pancake...with a large, metal frying pan. "Where did that frying pan come from?" Kat asked her younger sister. "I have NO idea, I don't remember that..." Kari looked confused. The demon was so stunned by the hard blow that he dropped Kagome. Kat ran over and grabbed Kagome's sleeve, pulling her up. Kari jumped down and the demon's lips flapped. They ran as fast as they could, following Kagome, who took off in a random direction.
