Chapter One: In Battle
Inuyasha struggled against the weight of his opponents attack. Sharp yellow sparks emitted from his sword as the Serpent demon's magical pike scrapped against it. The snake let out a menacing laugh
"HAHAHAHAHAhahaaha! You cannot defeat me!" It sneered as Inuyasha continued to struggle under its weight.
"We'll see about that!" Inuyasha yelled back as he pushed the demon away bearing his fangs as he spoke. He prepared to charge at the beast when he felt a stinging pain in his leg. Another Snake demon had appeared out of no where and had driven its fangs into his leg.
"Damn you to hell!" Inuyasha yelled and swung Tetsusaiga down, severing the demon's head causing it to evaporate leaving an empty skeleton where it stood.
"How dare you kill one of my faithful servants you half-demon slime!" the Serpent roared, "I will see to it that you suffer a cruel fate."
"Shut up!" Inuyasha replied, "You'll be mince-meat once I'm done with you!" "Such big talk for a pitiful hanyou mutt" The Snake yelled back, preparing itself for a new attack. Inuyasha ran toward the demon with Tetsusaiga readied above his head. He almost fell over when he stopped abruptly, the weight of his sword almost toppling him on his stomach. In the distance he heard Kagome's voice cry out
"Inuyasha!!"
He could smell her fear in the air mixed with the usual sent of her body. Inuyasha winced in pain from the snake bite in his leg.
'I will not let her be hurt.' he thought to himself,
'I will not allow her to feel the pain she simply does not deserve.'
Inuyasha instinctively glanced towards the direction of the call. The Serpent demon used this distraction to his benefit and lunged at Inuyasha. "Die you fool!" The demon's pike pierced his chest, tearing through his red kimono on both sides. Inuyasha gasped for air as pain overwhelmed him. He coughed up a spatter of blood as he sank to his knees, the pike still lodged in his chest.
"You've gone too far, you filthy snake!" Inuyasha yelled.
He pulled the enchanted pike from him and tossed it aside.
"Endangered your women have I?" The demon sneered. "A half-demon with a human, how pathetic."
The snake lunged at Inuyasha, pinning him on the dirt road beneath them.
"Should I finish you first, or take the pleasure of watching my slaves devouring the flesh of that odd looking woman?" The Snake continued.
Its eyes glowed bright red as he commanded the snakes in the direction of Kagome's cry.
"You leave her out of this!" Inuyasha growled.
He kicked the Snake demon off of him and swung Tetsusaiga again and yelled "Wind Scar!" Streaks of light shot towards the demon, destroying it in a blinding flash of light. Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusaiga and looked around for any sign's of other enemies. He quickly spotted the two shards left behind in the pile of flesh that stood in front of him. But instead, raced off towards Kagome with worry and fear. 'What if I didn't finish him off in time' Inuyasha thought to himself 'What if she was hurt, what if she's…. No, that's not possible, she's been in much worse situations before, there's no way they could have….' As he jumped from the trees out into the clearing, a blood-curdling scream rang out from ahead.
