Chapter 11
Everything felt like slow motion.
Kagome has just left inuyasha and as she got on her horse, things seemed unusually quiet.
There were no birds out and no noises that kagome usually situated with a forest.
She looked up and there was a tall figure blending in nicely with the scenery.
As calm as ever. Kagome thought.
Sesshomaru walked towards her and drew his sword. He raised it to send a bolt of energy.
As sesshomaru raised his sword kagome reached for her bow.
Wait! Kagome thought, where is my bow and arrows?!
Realization of the danger she was in dawned.
I didn't pick them up after my meeting with inuyasha.
Kagome's eyes widened with fear. And she gasped as the sword neatly formed a power sphere, electric bolts occasionally shooting up from the center.
Her horse backed up in fright and almost threw her off.
INUYASHA!! Her mind screamed.
A shadow covered her and she saw something red jump between her and the sphere. And then the world went black.
Once again in his half demon form inuyasha sped through the forest after kagome.
Something didn't seem right about this predicament and from the smell of things (ha-ha! get it? Oh never mind) it wasn't good.
Finally coming upon the edge of the forest he quickly took in kagome, trying to keep her horse under control, with fear smattered all over her face.
He couldn't see who or what was attacking her because of a tree, but he knew that something that scared kagome's horse-if not kagome-this much had to be big or powerful.
Inu yasha jumped in front of kagome and drew tetsaiga.
But all was in vain.
Before he even could look at the culprit a huge power hit him on full force, throwing him, at death speed towards kagome.
He felt the impact of his back and kagome's front as he flew at her.
If the tetsaiga wasn't holding off the energy blow then he would have protected her, and made himself get the ditch-skid instead of her.
But fate had a funny way of thinking, and if he had dropped tetsaiga and protected kagome she would have gotten hit with the energy blast instead of his tetsaiga. Finally the hard skid was over and inuyasha gained his bearings enough to let go of the tetsaiga.
The sword diverted the blow by flying up and crashing some ten yards away.
Inuyasha looked up at the attacker.
A grin spread across his features, finally he understood kagome's fear and why that move seemed all too familiar.
Kagome forgotten, he transformed and faced his archenemy/brother in his full demon form.
weeeee!!!! another cliffie!
