Chapter: Six Inu Yasha You Promised

Kagome stirred slightly, and tried to stretch, but she couldnt. Dang it, she must have gotten tangled up in her sleeping bag during the night again!

Intending to disentangle herself, she opened her eyes, only to have them fill with fear when she saw why she couldnt stretch, or really even move in any other way. When she saw what was wrapped around her.

Somehow, as she had slept, some sort of snake had wrapped its body around her.

A BIG snake.

Even as she saw this, she felt its coils tightening even more. She looked up to see the snakes head just a few feet away from her face. Its tongue flicked in and out as it stared at the girl wrapped in its coils as though she were but a mouse.

This was a BIG snake. Too big, in fact, to be a true one. As Kagome realized it was a demon, she saw the glint of a shikon shard in its forehead.

She tried to scream, but she did not even have breath enough for that. She was slowly being suffocated by the snakes tightening coils.

Because of her whole body being trapped, except for her head, she could not even fight back.

She tried to yell, but it came out as nothing more than a gasped whisper. Inu yasha help

As spots formed in front of her eyes, Kagome felt hopelessness, and then, overpowering even the sense of helplessness, a deep sense of betrayal.

Inuyashayoupromised. She knew she was about to die, and tears dripped from her eyes. Pleasesomeonehelp me

And then someone did help, just as her vision was going hazy. She saw a blur of white in front of her (Inuyashas hair?) and then suddenly the snakes coils were relaxing around her, and there was something warm and sticky that had washed all over her.

Even as the blood in her body flowed freely again, and she collapsed without the support of the snake coils, Kagome felt herself teetering at the edge of consciousness. She let herself fall over that edge and then all went dark.

QS: Thank God our Kago didnt die, huh? shudders Tell you one thing, I wouldnt want that big snake thingy wrapped around me, either!
