Chapter Two: The Enemy Strikes
Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat or two in shock. He cried out
"Kagome!" and ran even faster towards her. As he jumped over the last line of trees, the battlefield came into view. Hundreds of Snake demon skeletons littered the foliage. Blood and decaying flesh littered the ground, making it impossible for Inuyasha to locate Kagome by smell. He spotted Miroku and leaped over to him.
"Miroku, what happened, where's Kagome?" Inuyasha said franticly.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, without my wind tunnel, I couldn't stop all of them, please help Songo." The Monk replied weakly before losing consciousness and slumping over onto his side. Inuyasha looked over to see Songo and Kagome (fehew…) fighting off a still rather large group of snake demons. An injured Kilala had already collapsed on the opposite side of the field. Songo's Hiratsu was broken in half, brushed to the side for the time being. Songo slashed away at the advancing demons with her sword, desperately looking around for assistance. Kagome drew her bow and shot a sacred arrow into the group, destroying several demons on contact. In response, the rest of the snake herd lunged towards Kagome, who yelped and ran as fast as she could out of the way.
Without even thinking, Inuyasha jumped into the air, drew Tetsusaiga once more and yelled "Wind Scar!" which immediately caught Kagome's attention. Kagome smiled to herself, knowing that her protection had arrived in full force. The Wind Scar's bright streaks cut through the snake army, obliterating the majority of them. Inuyasha landed in front of Kagome, with his sword still readied. This sight was enough to cause most of the remaining Snake demons to flee but yet, several still blindly charged at him. Inuyasha cut down four Snake demons in rapid succession but one last demon slipped by him, unnoticed.
Inuyasha spun around when he heard Kagome let out another shriek of terror. A snake demon, with a sword clenched in its right hand continued its charge towards her. He ran after it instantly, knowing full well that he would not stop it in time. Kagome, who had dropped her quiver of arrows just before could only watch in terror as the demon drew ever closer. She raised her arms above her face as the Snake pulled its sword back, ready to strike.
"KAGOME!!!!"
Aaaaaaaacccckkkkkkk (gasp)
