"Kagome-sama, what should we do?"
"We draw them out. I will not allow them to follow us any further." Kagome looked down at Katsurou. "Katsurou, you must stay very close to Rin and I no matter what okay?"
He swallowed thickly, and nodded.
Kagome drew an arrow and notched it in her bow.
"Alright! Come on out whoever you are! This is getting old; so come on and attack us already!" Kagome shouted loudly.
Their eyes scanned the area all around them for any sign of movement. The three of them remained completely still for what seemed like an eternity before a dagger whistled past Kagome, cutting her arm. She immediately stood in front of Katsurou and held her bow at the ready position.
"Heh,heh,heh…"A hissing laugh surrounded them.
To their left, a tall, impossibly, slender youkai appeared before them. His body was covered in black scales, and his eyes were bright, red slits. His forked tongue flicked out of his wide fang filled mouth that stretched all the way across its wicked face.
Kagome immediate fired an arrow without preamble. It hit its shoulder and stuck. The snake youkai hissed in pain and narrowed its eyes at her. Kagome became alarmed. This was not just any rogue youkai. This particular youkai was strong enough to take a purification arrow to the shoulder and remain alive.
The snake youkai lounged at Kagome furious. Kagome dove to the right, and Rin dove to the left grabbing Katsurou with her. The youkai missed grabbing Kagome, and instead turned his attention to Katsurou and Rin.
Rin held her sword out in an offensive stance, and leaped toward the youkai. The youkai caught the blade with his forearm and used the momentum to throw Rin away from him. The snake's eyes focused on Katsurou.
Kagome sent a charged purification arrow right the youkai. He shifted just in time to avoid an arrow to the chest, and instead the arrow severed his entire arm.
The youkai shrieked in pain. Blinded by fury at the loss of his arm, he lashed out and snatched Katsurou up with his lone scaled hand.
Panic and unbridled terror filled Kagome.
"KATSUROU!"
