Chapter 4:
"You stay out of this, old maid!" InuYasha shouted as she leapt to slash through Hojo with her claws. At that point, Priestess Kaede threw a purple necklace into the air which luckily landed right on InuYasha's neck. "What the heck is this?" InuYasha questioned in irritation.
Hojo was kneeling on the grass, holding the jewel in his hand. He was losing too much blood, and he could barely move. His eyes were closed, expecting InuYasha's claws to bring death anytime soon. Meanwhile, InuYasha tried pulling the necklace off, but it seemed to weigh a ton. The old priestess sighed. InuYasha shrugged, "Oh well, thanks for the gift, withered hag. Now, to take care of this brat..."
Hojo's eyes snapped open, but he was struggling to stand up. "....hand it over now!" he heard from behind him. The girl didn't seem to really want to hurt him, she just wanted the jewel; however, handing it over wasn't an option. 'What's the worst that can happen?' he thought. 'No, I made the mistake of unsealing her...What am I saying?That wasn't a mistake... that other demon would've killed us all... ugh... what do I do..?' A voice interrupted his thoughts, "I said, NOW!"
He shook his head as he stood, trying to ignore the pain, "I wont give it to you..." InuYasha couldn't believe her ears, "Whether you live or die, I'm taking it with me!" Hojo chuckled, "Then do it over my dead body..." Priestess Kaede was amazed, but would InuYasha think twice? That was a chance she wasn't willing to take. "Boy, utter a subduing spell!" Kaede yelled.
InuYasha laughed, "Ha... Subdue me? Don't make me laugh!" Hojo backed away, trying to distance himself from the half-demon. "Get back here!" she yelled as she made to catch up with him. "FREEZE!" he shouted, and she did just that. The necklace around her neck glowed and it somehow froze her in place, but that only lasted five seconds. "You withered crone... you're gonna pay for that...." InuYasha warned as she flexed her claws and made her way towards Kaede. The priestess simply said, "Do your thing!" Hojo smiled, "Freeze, girl!" He could get used to this. It was kind of fun. "Alright, show is over! You can all return to the village!" she told the espectators.
A/N: I hate changing the little things that make us love this story so much; however, I'm not going to have a boy tell a girl to SIT, that's simply wrong. Anyhow, I hope you like it so far. Thanks a lot for the reviews. Oh, and for those of you whom adore Kagome, don't worry she's an important part of this story too. Soon, and very soon, you'll find out what happened between InuYasha and Miroku.
