Okay, I'm back! With a new chapter!

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS! THEY MADE ME SO HAPPY!

Sorry for the long wait.....that's for several reasons! I've had homework, school, and we've recently got Broadband internet on our computer...and MAJOR writers block!!

I also got REALLY yelled at, at school, because I started writing fiction in the back of my French vocabulary book...that made me angry, coz hey, fanfiction is more important than French, right?

But hey, I'm back!

Chapter 9: Spider Attack

Kagome glanced at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a simple blue dress, with her hair in a ponytail. The Shikon Jewel was hung in a chain around her neck.

"You look fine, Kag." Sango said from the doorway. "Let's get this over with."

The Pearl Restaurant was the most expensive restaurant in New York. Kagome and Sango walked to the entrance.

"Oh my god, there's that actor in Lord of the Rings." Sango said.

"That guy was on TV yesterday..." Kagome gasped. "What are we doing here, Sango?"

"We're meeting our bastard colleagues Yura and Koga and-"

"Are you meeting someone, miss?" A waitress asked.

"Uh...y-yeah. Miss Yura and Mr. Koga." Kagome stuttered.

"Table nine, miss."

Yura and Koga were already there, dressed in expensive black suits. Inuyasha wore his normal red haori; Kagome wondered if he ever changed his clothes. Miroku was also wearing an expensive purple shirt.

Kagome and Sango sat down hastily.

"I do apologise for being late." A silky voice said from behind.

Kagome and Sango turned round...and gaped.

Naraku.

Kagome swore. 'Naraku is here? What?'

"Not a problem, Naraku." Yura said confidently. "Now, as I was saying..."

Kagome looked around the restaurant. Famous idols and celebrities were everywhere. This really was reserved for the rich and famous. There was velvet, diamonds, silk...everything was luxury.

A movement in the window caught Kagome's attention. She was pretending to listen to Yura...

Kagome blinked, confused. It was a spider-demon. An enormous, human-sized spider-demon outside the window... She must be seeing things.

"Kagome? A problem?" Yura questioned.

"No, no..." Kagome said. Why couldn't anyone else see the spider? Why wasn't someone chasing it away? Calling the police?

Kagome sensed its powerful demon aura. 'That's one strong demon.'

Sango glanced round the room casually, her gaze sweeping past the demon.

'Why can't Sango see it?'

Kagome shook her head. She was going mad. Seeing enormous spider demons in the Pearl Restaurant? She should visit a mental asylum.

Then, the demon opened its mouth. Inuyasha stiffened. His ears twitched, and Kagome knew he could sense the demon.

'Thank god, I'm not going mad.' She relaxed slightly...

BANG!

The whole restaurant shook. People screamed, backing into the corner.

Large, black spiders were exploding from the demons mouth. They smashed against the glass of the window, jumping into the restaurant. These new demons were very much visible.

The invisible demon opened its mouth again, letting out more spiders.

"Where are they coming from?" Sango screamed over the noise.

"From that-"Kagome didn't have a chance to finish as another cloud of spiders jumped at her. She grabbed a chair, bashing them away, but there was an endless supply. The demons she killed were quickly replaced by new spiders.

The restaurant was in turmoil. Kagome quickly lost sight of Sango, as spiders appeared from all directions.

The spiders were everywhere. People screamed, ducked...and collapsed, lost under the wreckage of the room. Kagome shuddered.

"FBI!" Yura yelled.

"Stop there!" Koga shouted, but the spiders swept past them. Yura and Koga were thrown against the wall, where they lay unconscious.

"Sango!" Kagome yelled, but her voice was drowned out in the chaos. She stabbed one spider with her penknife, and jumped over it. Another spider landed on her, and her leg broke with a terrible crack.

Miroku kicked another spider, only to have it replaced by two new demons. "Get off me! God, where are they all coming from?"

He could hardly see anything apart from spiders...and there were a lot of them. He looked at his hand. If things got tough...he would have no choice...

Miroku grabbed a chair and bashed a spider in the face. It rolled over...revealing a girl's body.

"Sango? Are you okay?" Miroku said.

Sango glared. "Did you have to be my rescuer...?"

Miroku felt hurt. "Don't worry Sango...I'll protect you from the spiders."

"That's what I'm afraid of..." Sango grunted, struggling to her feet. Miroku still looked slightly taken aback. 'I didn't actually...hurt his feelings?' She thought in disbelief.

"Sango!" Mirkou yelled, pushing her to the ground. A spider landed a few inches from her head.

"Uh...thanks." She said, sheepishly.

CRASH

Sango rolled to one side. A spider landed beside her, and stretched out its big claws...

Sango closed her eyes, expecting the sharp pain of the spiders' claws...

The pain never came. A large wind suddenly exploded next to Sango. She felt her hair blowing around her face. She cracked an eye open, and the spider was gone... but more were ready to replace it.

Miroku wrapped his hand in his glove, and lifted up Sango. They climbed through the smashed window, onto the wet grass outside.

Beside the invisible spider demon, was a man. He had disguised himself by wearing a strange baboon pelt. The invisible spider demon looked at him, waiting for orders.

The baboon man nodded. "I shall get rid of these nuisances. When the half-demon and the girl appear, you deal with them." The man hissed.

Miroku tugged at Sango's sleeve. "RUN!"

'No, please not my leg...'

The pain in her leg was almost unbearable. I have to get to that invisible spider-demon. Kagome thought.

A spider bared its fangs in front of her, revealing long, pointed teeth. 'Oh shit...why does this always happen to me?' Kagome hissed.

Suddenly, the spider in front of her froze, and lurched forward. Blood fell from its mouth. It was dead. Inuyasha wiped his bloodstained claws on its back.

"Kagome!"

"Inuyasha! Where's Sango-"

"What happened to your leg?" Inuyasha said. "And calm down, woman! She's fine, she's with Miroku!"

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. "But with Miroku? I don't think that's fine..." She said under her breath.

Together, they fought their way through the mass of spiders and bodies. Kagome crawled along the floor, her leg still aching in pain.

"Kagome, climb onto my back." Inuyasha said irritably, seeing she was lagging behind.

"Oh...thanks."

"Feh..." He said. "Hold on tight..."

Before Kagome could react, he leaped into the air, above the mass of spiders. Kagome screamed and shut her eyes. Inuyasha jumped through the window, landing noiselessly outside the restaurant...

Right in front of the invisible spider demon.

"We've lost him." Miroku said.

Sango sank to the ground. She was tired, injured, and hungry. She and Miroku had been running for what seemed like hours, and they had finally lost sight of the baboon man.

Sango sighed. "Where are we, Miroku?" She asked.

Miroku sat down beside her. "I think...we may be lost."

"Oh shit..." Sango swore. "I hope Kagome and Inuyasha are okay..."

Miroku stared at the ground, frustrated. "Sango...I think we've just been trapped. I think that baboon man deliberately drove us away from the restaurant, so we couldn't help Kagome and Inuyasha."

"Why? I don't understand, why were those demons so interested in Kagome or Inuyasha?" Sango said. Unless the Shikon Jewel...

Miroku sighed. "Let's stay here, for the night. We can sleep under a tree."

Sango looked suspiciously at the idea of sleeping next to Miroku. "Maybe I should sleep here..."

Miroku looked insulted. "I won't try anything tonight, Sango. Try to trust me a bit..."

Sango lay down under the warmth of the tree, as far away from Miroku as possible. After a while, his eyes closed, and his breathing became steady.

When Sango was sure he was asleep, she edged closer and wrapped her arms around him.

This is just to conserve body warmth, right? She thought, fighting the blush on her cheeks.

As she was drifting to sleep, she thought: I wonder what happened to Naraku?

Kagome watched, horrified, as the invisible spider stepped towards them. Inuyasha sniffed the air, catching its foul smell...

"Well...it sssseems... you are trapped." The spider demon said. Kagome blinked, and backed away...only to bump into more spiders, slashing their claws at her back. She subconsciously grabbed Inuyasha's hand.

The spiders formed a circle around them, edging closer. Kagome was terrified. She had never felt so hopeless in her life.

The spiders edged closer...

Above them, the trees parted. The full moon shone down, illuminating the demons, so they looked like ferocious monsters.

But under the full moon, Inuyasha cursed under his breath.

Kagome looked over to Inuyasha...and almost screamed again. Surely she wasn't seeing things...

His hair had started to darken to a black colour. His fangs were shrinking, and his claws had disappeared. In fact...Kagome thought, he looks human.

But as she stared at the person who used to be Inuyasha, a spider demon crept up behind her...

"AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIII!"

The demon sank its fangs into Kagome's neck, and she felt her vision blurring. She fell to the ground...unconscious.
