Kagome landed on her feet, grunting from the pain in her ankles. Amaya and Inuyasha were already out of the well, and fighting. Kagome could hear Amaya shouting clear as day.
"Inuyasha!"Amaya screamed."Move!"
At first Kagome thought Inuyasha was just in her way, but then the real horror in her sisters voice struck her. Fear. That was what filled Amaya voice. Fear. Kagome had never in all her years with her sister seen her scared. This worried Kagome greatly.
"Inuyasha!" Amaya shouted.
Kagome crawled up out of the well to see Amaya not far away, silver hair swirling around her face,Inuyasha across the clearing facing a VERY angry looking Naraku. And, just then did Kagome notice him, Sesshoumaru. He stood not far away from Amaya, dangerously close in Kagome's opinion. Making a quick decision, she ran to Amaya, right past Sesshoumaru. But he didn't even notice her, which was good.
"Amaya!"Kagome panted once she caught up." Run!"
"No"Amaya said quietly.
"Why?"
"It would be dishonourable. I will not do it."
"Amaya!" Kagome growled. Amaya looked at her sister in surprise."I want you to go, now."
Amaya shook her head " Fine, but i'm not comeing if you call."And with that Amaya turned and left, walking right past Sesshoumaru, who watched her until she disapeard from site.
Rin watched in horror as Jaken fell out of the side of the boat.
'Oh Jaken-sama! Are you OK?" She cried.
"Of corse i'm ok you stupid girl."
"Oh," Rin grew silent for awhile, but spoke up when she seen a young girl at the side of the river. She was fast asleep and looked, from the little girls point of view, very wet.
"Jaken-sama look!" She cried, pointing to the women.
"Who is that?" Jaken answered, rowing the boat to the shore. Rin jumped out of the boat and to the womens side.
" Um...Ms?" Rin asked, patting the girls cheek lightly. She was soaked to the bone and wearing strange clothes. " Are you ok?"
The women suddenly let out a coughing noise and spit up some water. Her eyes opened slowly, and widend in surprise when she seen the two people at her side. And jumped slightly when when Rin reached forward and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
"Um... are you ok?" Rin repeated.
"Yes," Amaya answered " But excuse me for being forward or rude but, who are you?"
"My name is Rin and this is Jaken!" She said, poiting to the Impish creature that still sat in the boat.
" Oh.. well Rin-chan, where are we?"
"Um... Jaken-sama where are we?" She asked, turning to the toad.
"Close to Sesshoumaru-sama's land borders." He answered, glareing at the women that now sat beside Rin.
"Oh," Rin said, a little dazed by his quick answer " Um.. may I ask what happened to you?" she said, turning back to Amaya.
" Of course," She said, and started to answer but was cut of by a low rumble from underneath the ground. "What was that?" she said, surprised.
"I dunno." Rin answered, terror in her voice.
At that exact moment, and great demon, about three stories tall, burst from the ground. It was pure black in colour and had a single Red eye, which stared at the small group evily.
Rin screamed and ducked behind Amaya, who was wimpering slightly. Jaken lept in front of him, knowing that if he let Rin get hurt Sesshoumaru would kill him. He was only protecting this Amaya person cause Rin was behind her.
"Get outta here!" He shouted, but it was clear niether of the girls were going anywhere soon.
Signing, Jaken turned back to the demon.
" Stupid coward" Sesshoumaru muttered to himself as he walked away from the battle sen, where Inuyasha and that wench Kagome where arguing about where the young demon, Amaya they called her, had gone of to. Hell, he didn't even think they noticed he had gone.
He followed Rin's scent to the place he guessed they were. But once he enetered the clearing, his eyes came upon a horrible site.
Rin sat crouched behind the girl that had emerged from the well with Inuyasha and Jaken lay some few feet away, dead. Both Rin and the girl looked horrified at the demon fast aproching them.
Sighing Sesshoumaru dashed forward sword drawn, ready to fight and depend everyone in the clearing, including the women who looked so much like his father.
