They couldn't believe their eyes. Standing before them was a girl…of no more than teenage years, standing beside this monstrous wolf demon. The girl looked both extremely feral, but also extremely beautiful. Long black hair, highlighted with red reached almost to her backside and her eyes were bright red-gold. Her clothes looked as though they'd been homemade and were torn badly in several places. Long fingerless gloves covered both her arms and ran all the way up to her elbows. She wore no shoes, and her feet were wrapped in thick white cloth, but what they noticed most were her furry black ears. Her companion, the wolf demon looked like something straight out of hell. It was darkest black, with chilling red eyes whose pupils were slit almost like a reptile's. It had two long tails, much like Kirara's and green stripes ran down it's back and tails. It's eyes were fixed on Inuyasha, challenging him to come closer if he dared.
"Who are you!" Inuyasha demanded. He'd noticed his friends arrive; their scent was all he'd needed.
The girl didn't answer; she merely stood there, stroking the wolf demon's neck. Inuyasha was getting angry and he didn't know how much patience he could give this girl. He gripped Tetsusaiga tightly, trying to keep his temper under control. The girl never wavered; in fact she looked rather smug, like she'd been planning this all along.
"Tell me who you are girl!" Inuyasha shouted.
Suddenly the girl started to laugh, nastily, like she knew something they didn't.
"Foolish hanyou!" she spat, pointing at Inuyasha. "I am Yori Yamagatei of the wolf demon race, and you unfortunate souls have crossed my path!"
"No you're the fool!" Inuyasha shouted back at her. "I can see from here that you aren't a real demon, just look at those ears!"
The girl's face flushed and she looked afraid suddenly, but she quickly replaced that look with one of anger.
"Oh a hanyou am I….well a stronger one than you at least!" she said. With that she leapt at Inuyasha, striking at his face with her claws. Inuyasha dodged her easily and swung Tetsusaiga at her back. She sped through the air and he missed her by inches, then she came back around and swiped at him again. This time her claws made contact and several long cuts appeared on the side of Inuyasha's face. Blood flew out from his wounds and spattered on the ground. The girl smiled and took aim at him again, but she was thrown back by Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha swung at her again, but again he missed.
"How in the hell is she so agile!" he grumbled to himself. Then he thought of it.
"Kagome, do you see any Sacred Jewel shards!" he asked her, desperate for an explanation as to why she had lured him out here and attacked him.
Kagome squinted against the brightness of the now rising sun and looked the girl up and down for a sign of jewel shards, but she saw none.
"I don't see any Inuyasha…just like before….there isn't a single one…" she said to him, becoming worried. It was unusual that a demon of her stature was this powerful without any magical assistance.
The girl leapt at Inuyasha again and yelled, "Spinning blades of Hell!" Her claws glowed blue and when she swiped at him, the light came at him instead of her claws. It swirled and spun extremely fast and before he could realize what was happening, it hit him. His haori was ripped in many places and blood now dripped from a fresh wound on his chest. Inuyasha held onto Tetsusaiga for support, breathing heavily. Meanwhile the girl had landed lightly on her feet and didn't even seem phased.
What the hell am I gonna do? Inuyasha thought, desperately…
