CHAPTER 2
Jessica slunk from her bed onto the floor quietly and nudged Sango until she woke up. "Sango! Sango..." She whispered, trying to get the Taijiya to wake up. Sango stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes, to come face to face with a terrified Jessica.
"What is it, Jessica?" Sango yawned, looking into the child's large, lotus-green eyes.
"It's really important...I need to talk to both Kagome and you. Do you think you could wake her up?" Jessica pleaded, still whispering.
"Well, okay, but it had better be important to wake me up this late at night," The woman replied, sitting up on the bunk. She climbed the ladder on the side of the bed and shook the teenager, managing to stay on her perch.
"Huh? What's up?" Kagome asked groggily, her eyes half lidded. She slowly sat up and looked at Sango.
"Jessica says she needs to tell us something really important. Can you come down for a minute?" Sango asked the schoolgirl politely, not wanting Kagome's mood to be spoiled at the middle of the night. Kagome was beyond mean when angry. Sango climbed down to let Kagome get to the floor as well.
Kagome tiredly climbed down the ladder on the bunk bed and stood next to Jessica. "What is it?" She asked the younger girl.
"Well...it's about tonight. I'm worried about Inuyasha," she said frantically, speaking very fast.
"Slow down, Jessica...it's too late at night for that," Sango said, agitated.
"Okay," Jessica started, "Inuyasha is under a curse!"
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, suddenly wide awake.
Jessica opened the blinds on the window, looking out to see the harvest moon, "Oh no! It's too late!" she wailed, closing her eyes tight.
"Too late?" Sango and Kagome repeated in unison.
"Inuyasha will tr--" Jessica couldn't finish the sentence. She heard a low growl and turned her head toward the window only to see a pair of red eyes with blue pupils staring directly back at her. She screamed and closed the blinds quickly and the window broke, sending glass flying everywhere. Kagome screamed at this and Sango made a surprised noise.
Inuyasha burst through the window, glaring at each of the girls, snarling. "Well, well, what do we have here?" his voice was different; lower, more dangerous. He smirked. Each of the girls looked terrified. None of them were protected, and even if they were, he was stronger than each of the girls.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome stammered, stepping back slightly. The other girls followed suit and took a step back as well. This only caused Inuyasha's smirk to grow, now showing almost a complete fang. He began stepping towards the girls, and with every step he took, the girls took a step back until he was standing only one foot away.
Inuyasha stared Kagome directly in the face. "Pathetic," he growled, "How could my weaker half travel with this scum?"
Kagome whimpered and then remembered something vital; the spirit word! She took her chances and pushed Inuyasha back, catching him off guard luckily. "SIT!"
"YOU WEN--" he was cut off as he crashed to the ground.
"Come on! Let's get out of here!" Jessica exclaimed, opening the door and leading the other girls out, followed by herself. She didn't bother closing the door, because one window was smashed out.
"Do...you...think we lost him?" Kagome panted.
"I...think so..." was Sango's exhausted reply.
"We...have to...tell...the boys," Jessica stated, not any less tired than the others.
"You won't be going anywhere!" a deep voice came from an above tree. Slowly, Kagome raised her head towards the tree in horror, and saw Inuyasha's piercing red eyes staring back at her. He dropped from the tree landing a couple feet from the girls. "You thought you could get away from me? Fools!" he snarled.
"F-flames of the Forest!" Jessica stuttered out, terrified. She lifted a hand and green flames appeared, almost exactly like Shippou's Fox Fire. She closed her eyes as she did this, afraid to open them. She did chance a look when she heard an angry snarling noise.
Inuyasha staggered backwards, with a slight burn on his hand. "WENCH!" he roared, recovering from the blow, charging at the twelve-year-old in a rage, claws extended. His pupils were narrowed, reminding Jessica of the experience during the day. Luckily for the girl, Sango stepped in, using her exterminator techniques to knock Inuyasha back.
"Kagome! Sit him!" Sango yelled to the school girl frantically, keeping her guard up while trying to hold Inuyasha back.
"Gotcha! S--
"Don't even think about it!" Inuyasha cut Kagome off by somehow getting behind her and holding her to make sure she couldn't escape. "If you say it, you're going down too," he hissed in Kagome's ear evilly.
"Kagome!" Sango and Jessica screamed in unison.
Inuyasha grinned maliciously at their fear. His evil aura was spiking, they could all feel it, but for Kagome, it was making her sick. Kagome struggled to get away but it was no use, she was drained by the aura and Inuyasha was in his demonic state.
"Let her go, Inuyasha!" Sango hissed, taking her battle stance once more. If she could get Inuyasha to let go of Kagome...
"As if I'd do that!" Inuyasha smirked, taunting the poor souls. To him, the girls were prey and he was the predator. He looked down at Kagome, she was dangerously close to passing out and when she did...he decided he would kill them all. "Well? Aren't you going to try and save your dear Kagome?"
Jessica began to growl. There was absolutly no way to stop Inuyasha without hurting Kagome in the process. If only she could get behind Inuyasha...She began to think. 'If Sango and I trick him into following us...Maybe...' She abruptly stopped growling. "Sango!" She yelled to the Taijiya and began to run away from Inuyasha.
"Wait! Jessica!" Sango called desperatly to the girl. What was she doing? Sango had no choice but to follow. "Wait!" Sango called out again trying to catch up with the fox-dog hanyou.
"Sango...!...Jessica...!...W-wait...!" Kagome called out to her friends, struggling to talk let alone avoid passing out. She had to get away...! The young miko began struggling again but it was all in vain. "Inuyasha...let...me...go...!" Kagome pleaded to the inu-hanyou.
Inuyasha laughed coldly. Those fools thought that running could save them? Inuyasha turned his attention to Kagome, who had pretty much passed out now. "I'll come back for you later. If you try to leave this spot, I'll kill you!" He growled at Kagome, dropping her onto the ground without thought and speeding off after the fleeing girls.
"As if...I... have a...choice..." Kagome choked out as she lay on the ground, unable to move. Soon after she said that sentence, she fainted right there in a forest on Hoshi Island.
"One...two...THREE!" Sango counted out loud. On three, she and Jessica charged the door. It was unfortunate that the boys had locked the door for the night. Sango couldn't figure out exactly why the boys had locked the door for the night, and how they had even figured out how to lock the door in the first place.
"Sango-o..." Jessica moaned, "How many more rams do you think this will take? I'm tired out..." She was completly tired out from using so much youki in the 'Flames of the Forest' attack, and her shoulder was killing her. Jessica didn't know how much more she could take.
"Just another run! One...two--
At that second, the door opened, sending Jessica and Sango tumbling through the opening, and crashing into a tired looking Miroku. "What are you two doing up so late?" Miroku asked, under both of the girls' weight.
"There's no time for that, Miroku! Get your staff and help us out!" Sango said quickly, forgetting that she and Jessica were still on Miroku.
"I would gladly do that, ladies, but could you please get off of me?" Miroku replied, in a familiar suave tone. As if on cue, he moved a hand onto both of the girls' bottoms, only being rewarded with two smacks to the face. At that moment both the girls jumped off and put a bit of distance between themselves and the monk.
"Miroku, you hentai!" Sango scolded, "This isn't the time!"
"Pedophile!" Jessica accused, "I'm only twelve!"
Miroku sighed and walked back over to his bunk bed and grabbed his staff, returning to the girls after. "Now please tell me what is so urgent to have you to use such force?" he asked, pointing to one of his slap marks.
All of this noise woke Shippou. "Hey...what are you girls doing in our cabin?" he asked drowzily, hopping from his bed.
"Miroku, Shippou, Inuyasha has transformed," Sango said simply.
"What do you mean?" Shippou asked.
"OH NO, SANGO! HE'S HERE!" Jessica shreiked, pointing towards the open door.
Inuyasha was bounding towards the boys cabin, claws outstretched with a maniacal grin on his face. He was set on one goal at the moment, to kill his old friends. "And you thought you could escape!" He roared from a distance, loud enough that everone inside the wooden house could hear.
"Oh no, he's in his demon form!" Shippou exclaimed, jumping from one foot to another.
"It would appear so!" Miroku replied, holding his staff in a defensive pose.
"I wish I had my Hiraikotsu..." Sango growled, going into a fight pose.
"Here he comes..." Jessica said nervously.
By now, Inuyasha was only ten feet from the cabin. "Prepare to die!" he roared, lunging towards the group of four, only to be struck by Miroku's staff. Blood spurted from the new wound on his chest. "You vermin!" (He says vermin a lot O.o) he growled clutching the wound.
"Where's Kagome! You didn't..." Sango choked at the end of the sentence. She had lost her whole family, and Kagome was her best friend.
"HA! I wouldn't kill her yet! I want to see the look on her face when I tell her you are all DEAD!" With that, the transformed hanyou lunged again, slashing Sango savagly on the shoulder, sending her crashing into a wall.
"AGH!" Sango cried out in pain, not bothering to look at her injury, she knew it was bad already. The exterminator tried to get to her feet, but only succeeded in causing a flash of pain throughout her body.
"SANGO!" Miroku yelled out instinctively, watching in horror as Sango lost blood. "How dare you!" Miroku charged Inuyasha and attempted to slice him with his staff.
"Not this time, monk!" Inuyasha snarled, catching the staff in mid swing, pushing the weapon back towards the man, knocking him back next to Sango.
"Miroku!" Shippou and Jessica exclaimed, watching as the monk flew through the air.
"Shippou, Jessica! Go find Kagome...We can keep Inuyasha busy for now!" Miroku yelled to the two children, staggering to his feet and regaining his posture.
"Got it!" The kids said at the same time, running off into the woods and eventually dissapearing from sight.
"Trying to stall are you? No matter!" Inuyasha grinned, flexing his claws and walking towards the duo slowly, "You're all going to die anyway!"
"Don't count on it!" Sango replied, struggling to her feet.
Inuyasha laughed cruelly, "You think you can stop me? Well, bring it on!" After his sentence, Inuyasha charged.
"Come on Shippou! We have to hurry!" Jessica yelled to her kitsune companion who had began to lag behind.
"Jessica, do you...even...know where...we're...going?" Shippou panted, vainly trying to catch up with the hanyou.
The fox-dog girl skidded to a halt. "Actually, no," She looked shocked by her sudden stupidity.
"Ugh..." Shippou shook his head sadly. "Why don't we try to find Kagome's scent?" He suggested.
"You know, that's a good idea!"
"I know. I'm really pretty smart you know!"
"Yeah, whatever," Jessica growled, dropping onto all fours like Inuyasha usually did when he searched for scents.
Shippou sighed, "I'd better help too..." He imitated her and began sniffing on the ground as well.
Miroku reached insite his robe and grabbed a handful of sutras and tossed them at Inuyasha. The papers sparked and crackled when they touched the demon, who cried out in pain. Once again, Inuyasha was burned.
"How dare you!" Inuyasha growled, frozen in place temporarily.
"Good work, Miroku! Now let's go help find Kagome!" Sango cheered.
"Got it," Miroku replied, and both the monk and taijiya ran out the open door, hoping to find Shippou and Jessica.
"WHEN I GET FREE...YOU WILL ALL DIE!" Inuyasha roared after them, trying to struggle against the monk's magic.
And there you are! A decent chapter! YAY!
