Disclaimer: ..... enough said.
"Oh man! Here it comes." Rainey thought as the tail came rushing toward her.
She expected to block the tail a little bit, instead she felt the sword slicing through it. Anticipating a shower of bull/lizard demon blood, she closed her eyes.
*POOF*
Rainey was blown down by a huge gust of wind. In fact, everyone was. Except the bull demon.
*pwupwupwu*
It sounded like someone had just sat on a whoopee cushion. Rainey opened her eyes to see probably the very last thing she could've imagined.
The bull/lizard was zooming around the clearing of the forest like a deflating balloon.
*???*
'Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?' Rainey thought. She watched in absolute bewilderment as the monster gently floated to the ground, completely empty and flat. Abruptly, bright lights began to poke out of its body. Rainey shielded her eyes to prevent herself from going blind.
*BOOM*
The lights vanished, and Rainey put her hand down 'What?! Where'd it go?'
The monster had disappeared. The demons preventing help from Rainey's friends had disappeared. There was no evidence of a fight ever taking place.
"Hey, Kagome? Are you hurt?" Inuyasha said running over to her.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"Rainey" Inuyasha said as he walked over to her. "You O.K.?"
Rainey's knees buckled and she landed on the ground. She sat there for a while until she finally answered, "Yeah.I'm fine." she said, obviously very confused. She could hardly believe she just fought a demon, and she really couldn't believe how the battle turned out.
"You sure?" Inuyasha asked eyeing her doubtfully, as he helped her up.
"Yeah."
"How bout the rest of you?" Inuyasha asked the group.
"I'm O.K., I just cut my arm." Sango said.
"Lemme see." Miroku said, moving toward her.
"five, four, three, two, one." Kagome, and Inuyasha counted quietly in unison.
*SLAP*
"I said my arm, not my butt!" Sango yelled at he fallen priest.
"Uh, my mistake." He replied, a bit disoriented.
"I'm sure." Sango muttered.
"He never misses an opportunity." Inuyasha mused aloud.
Kagome walked over to Rainey, who had her back to the group. "Hey, you alright?" Kagome asked.
Rainey kept her back turned. "Hmm.? Oh yeah, sure." She said in a far off voice.
"Just what happened anyways?" Inuyasha asked as he stood next to Kagome. Rainey explained the entire ordeal.
"A balloon?"
"Yeah."
"But it's over. Why do you look so.distracted?" Inuyasha asked.
"This was my first big fight with a demon and I won. It's kinda weird." Rainey said. "But what's really getting to me is how it was all so easy. I don't think those were demons, or else Kagome would've sensed them, right? And did you noticed how every time you guys tried to help me, demons-"
"Popped out of nowhere, blocking us." Kagome finished. "You're right. This was no ordinary attack."
"Naraku." Inuyasha growled. "He was here."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hmm...they fell easily into my trap, as expected." The white baboon mused to himself as he sat on a tree branch outside of his elusive castle.
"She's smarter that I gave her credit for." A voice from under the tree branch said.
"Ahh.. Iyana Me-ushi. Were you able to collect the information needed for my plan?" the baboon asked as it looked down at the speaker.
"Yes, Naraku." The speaker said. She was a pretty young woman, wearing a white kimono with rather large black spots decoratively positioned on it. She tucked strands of her long, jet-black hair behind her ear, showing two brownish horns on her forehead. "While those fools were fighting my minions, I was able to get close enough to them to tap into their minds and discover some of their greatest fears, without that stupid half ling sensing me."
"And you're sure the girl didn't sense you?"
"Yes. With this fragment of the Shikon jewel in me, its powers worked with mine to shield my aura and its own aura." Iyana Me-ushi said as she smiled. Her big, brown eyes were completely void of all kindness. They were just filled with malice.
"Excellent. And with my new demon puppet, I was able to measure how strong the newcomer was." Naraku said.
"I still don't understand why you even bothered. She's just a human."
"Because I have been surprised by untapped human powers more times than I wish to count." Naraku answered.
"Whatever. If you don't mind, this newcomer has a fear that's right in my department, and I wish to take care of her myself."
"I don't care" Naraku said. "Just as long as Inuyasha is destroyed in the end."
"Iyana Me-ushi laughed a cold, heartless laugh. "Not a problem."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ya know, you're getting better Rainey. That demon is lucky he deflated before you got really angry." Kagome said.
She, Rainey and Sango had found a nice, remote hot spring to dip in. They jumped in only after having Inuyasha take Miroku away and swear to keep him at least half a mile away from the spring.
"I appreciate that, but you and I both know had that demon not deflated, I was in for it." Rainey giggled.
"Well, you really are getting better, though." Sango said.
"Thanks!"
"Inuyasha must be a better teacher that expected. Go figure." Kagome said. They all laughed at this, then were quiet for a moment.
"What do you think Naraku is planning?" Sango asked.
"I dunno, but it can't be good." Kagome answered
"Then we'd best be on our guard." Sango said.
