Kagome ran out of arrows and had lost her bow not long after. She stumbled over a root in her run but caught herself. Unfortunately, that's when her luck ran out because she tripped over a rock with her next step. The girl tumbled down a hill, collecting a multitude of scrapes and spilling the contents of her overstuffed backpack.
The roar of her current pursuer shook her to her bones. The monster appeared at the top of the hill. It was some type of worm demon. It was shaped like a giant maggot, a shape that scared Kagome more than the fact that it was currently trying to eat her. Of course she had to run out of arrows when there was just one worm left. Their skins were thin but protected by a thick layer of moist slime. They weren't hard to kill if you could slice through the slime.
As the oozing creature slid closer to the girl, she screamed and threw the first object that her hand touched. Tom's diary frisbee'd through the air with an envelope of pinkish purple around it. The object sliced through the neck of the demon before thunking against a tree.
"OH BLOODY HELL, Woman! Ow!" The phantom materialized with the influx of power and picked up his diary. His face contorted with equal parts pain, fury, and disgust. He swept back to the shocked girl, gingerly stepping around a dying worm demon, and pushed the book into her hands. "WASH IT! Wash it NOW!" The diary dripped slime from its cover.
The miko didn't seem to hear Tom's words. "Tom-san! I did it! I put ki into the diary!"
"Well, yes, that's lovely and all. But I strongly request you NEVER throw me again."
