Trap
Inuyasha and Kagome had just got back from their walk when Yumi finished examining Sango's Hiraikotsu. She had adjusted the corners of the edges so that the weapon was larger and lighter. "This way," Yumi said as she threw it. The boomerang cut through trees like they were twigs. The weapon came back and landed in Yumi's hand. "Your weapon will be easier to carry and it will be more effective when slaying demons. It should be able to hit more as well." Yumi handed Sango her boomerang and she slung it to her back. She walked around with it and was surprised at the difference. She gave Yumi a nod of gratitude and offered her some soup. Inuyasha sat down by the fire to enjoy their meal.
"How's the food?" Sango asked.
"This is great!" Yumi said. "I never thought ramen noodles could be so good!"
"I'm glad you like it," Kagome said. "I see that Yumi fixed your staff as well, Miroku."
"Yes," Miroku said as he held it up. "She made all of our weapons so light."
"She even made my top spin faster!" Shippou said as he spun his top. Everyone was happy with Yumi, except for Inuyasha. He couldn't bear to look at her. Yumi couldn't look him straight in the eye either. Every time she tried, she had to turn away before tears started to form in her eyes. Inuyasha forgot about her when his ears perked up. "What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha and Yumi jumped up. Yumi's ears were also twitching a little.
"Do you sense that, Inuyasha?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah, something is coming here fast." Everyone stood up, ready to attack. "I sense demons and lots of them." Inuyasha drew his Tetsuaiga. Kagome got her bow and arrow. Kirara transformed and growled. Sango readied her boomerang and Miroku picked up his staff. Yumi grabbed her sword and swung into the bushes. When the smoke cleared, five demons laid dead at Yumi's feet.
"There's more," Yumi said as more demons poured into the clearing. Everyone started killing them. The demons kept coming. The more they slaughtered, the more they kept appearing. Then they realized something. After Sango sliced a demon in half, it split and grew back its head and tail.
"They're regenerating!" Miroku said as he unwrapped the beads around his right hand. "Everyone stand back! WIND TUNNEL!" He unleashed his wind tunnel and all the demons were sucked into his hand. But more just came out of the forest.
"Yumi," Inuyasha yelled. "Take Shippou and Kagome into the forest! Get out of here!" Yumi nodded and pulled Kagome and Shippou into the forest as the others fought the demons behind them. They got pretty far and were almost out when suddenly the wind picked up. When the wind calmed down, they were all shocked to see Kagura standing in front of them.
"Well, it looks like I've found a lost kitten," she said with a smile as she waved her fan around causing wind to blow back at them. Yumi managed to keep her footing, but she had to catch Kagome as she was blown back. Shippou hit against a tree when Kagura sent her gusts at him. Kagura smiled at the two girls.
"What are you doing here, Kagura?" Kagome asked.
"I just wanted to see what Naraku was so interested in. It looks like he overestimated you."
"You wanna bet?" Yumi said as she pulled out her bow and shot her devil's arrow at Kagura. Kagura easily dodged it. "Not bad. How about this?" Yumi powered up and her arrow split into ten arrows. "Take this. HELL'S FURY!" The multiple arrows flew at Kagura and hit her dead on. But when the smoke cleared, Kagura stood without a scratch. "How did you survive?"
"I redirected the arrows with my Dance of the Dragon. Would you like to try again?"
"Why not? HELL'S FURY!" Yumi shot her arrows again. Kagura diverted the arrows again, but Yumi drew her blue-flame sword and struck Kagura's shoulder. Kagura only laughed. "What's so funny?"
"You shouldn't leave your friend unattended." Kagura sent a feather towards Kagome. Yumi darted down and shielded Kagome from the feather with her body. Kagome and Yumi both fell to the ground as Kagura laughed. "You fell straight into my trap. While those demons keep Inuyasha and the others busy, I can easily take you back to Naraku. That dart had a poison in it that will kill you slowly and painfully. So if you want the antidote, you and Kagome will come with me."
"Yumi, hold on," Kagome said as Kagura lifted them into the air on her feather. What are we going to do? Inuyasha, I hope you can find us. Hold on, Yumi. Hold on.
