"We grabbed the boy commander!" Inuyasha heard a voice say as he finally regained his awareness. He opened his eyes to see himself surrounded by a group of bandits. What the hell? He thought and pushed against the arms holding him to the ground.
"He sure dresses oddly." One of the men said running his hand down Inuyasha's sleeve. "He is rather attractive though."
Some of the other men rolled their eyes as Inuyasha's head jerked around. A gay bandit? That's just wrong! "Let me go! Who are you people?" Ahead of him a massive man shifted. Inuyasha look at the fat large man but didn't fear his size, he felt something off about him. His skin was pale, to pale for this time of year and he seemed to be unsteady on his feet.
"The Jewel. Give me the Jewel." The man garbled.
Inuyasha scowled as he swallowed against his disgust. This man was nasty! He was trying to drink sake and it was spilling all over him. Damn it. How do I get out of this?
THAT IDIOT! Kagome thought running after the scent of Inuyasha. What the hell is he thinking running off? No wonder the idiot got kidnapped. And what the hell were you thinking taking the Jewel with you!Kagome thought running after the scent of Inuyasha.
"Give me the Jewel of Four Souls." The giant said leaning forward.
He grabbed Inuyasha by the shirt front and lifted him off the ground before throwing him back. Inuyasha heard a snap as the cord holding the Jewel broke and the giant clutched it in his fist. "Not only demons…but men who can be worse will be after the Jewel." Inuyasha heard Kaede say in his mind. "Give it back!" He yelled jumping for the mans fist. A sword point had Inuyasha jumping back as he avoided it. But when he fell back he fell right into the arms of the leaders men. Damn it! Damn it! This is not good!
"Hold on to him." The leader said stumbling to straighten out his legs.
"What a waste." The gay bandit said running his hand through Inuyasha's hair.
Ugg! Inuyasha thought fighting the hold they had on him. Come on, come on, if I can just get free! He looked up as the boss stood in front of him and raised his sword and he felt his heart pounding with fear as the sword came slashing down. He felt a rain of blood and heard a dying cry but it wasn't his! The boss had missed Inuyasha killing the man holding on to Inuyasha's arm.
The boss laughed. "Made a mistake. Next time it'll be your neck."
"M…master?" The bandits muttered fearfully moving away from Inuyasha and their boss.
Inuyasha could see the bosses face more clearly and it was even paler than he had thought before. He looked…like death. What is this? There is something seriously wrong with this guy. Inuyasha turned and ran for the door, this is my chance!
"You die!" The boss said rambling after Inuyasha.
"Not gonna happen!" Inuyasha yelled back over his shoulder and threw himself to the side as the boss swung at him. He got sprayed with more blood as the boss took the heads off two of his men and Inuyasha gagged with the strong smell of blood. He saw a spear not to far from him and when the boss charged again he lifted it up and pointed it at him. "This is longer! You can't reach me!" He said smugly then cursed when the boss sliced the top of the spear off. Damn it…should have thought bout that. It's sharp enough to go through bone and muscle, of course it can go through wood retard! He ducked his head and tried to use the shaft of the spear as a block when the boss took another swing. This is it. Inuyasha closed his eyes to brace himself but he heard a twang as the sword connected with something harder than it and a ring as it snapped in half and the blade slammed into the floor. He opened his eyes and saw Kagome standing in front of him the blade having broken over her shirt. Dude she is hot! He thought staring up at his rescuer. "You came to save…" He started smiling at her gratefully.
"Where's the Jewel?" She asked turning to look at him.
"Not me." Inuyasha said crossing his arms.
"No duh! Now where is the Jewel?!" She said glaring at him. When the boss shambled up to her she turned around and glared. "So here is where you are." She sniffed the air and scowled as she raised her sleeve to cover her noise. "What a vile scent. Smells like a half-decayed corpse." Inuyasha blinked at the phrasing and turned to look at the boss more closely. Kagome cracked her fingers and slashed at the breast plate of the man. "Show yourself crow demon!"
The armor cracked down the center and fell off to the sides showing a gaping hole in the center of the body's chest and a three-eyed crow poking its head out of the hole. Inuyasha and the bandits gagged when they saw the nasty carcass and Inuyasha heard one of the men throw up. At least I'm not the one throwing up.
Kagome continued to scowl at the demon, "Been eating chest all night to make yourself a nice bloody nest?"
"The master is dead?" "I thought he was acting a mite odd." The bandits whispered amongst themselves as Inuyasha studied the crow and Kagome. Kagome was talking to the demon as if it could understand her. Did a crow demon understand human speech? "That's sick." He said glaring at the demon. Killing him to live in his chest. That's nasty.
The crow cawed and struggled around inside the chest and Kagome once again covered her noise from the scent. "Your too weak to fight your own battles and you can't manipulate the living huh?" The boss shambled over to another sword and picked it up. Kagome growled and jumped forward as the body raised its arm to slice at him. "Come out of that putrid mass!" She snarled and punched claws first into the hole that the crow was hiding in. Inuyasha fought hard to keep his stomach down at the squelching sound that Kagomes fist made entering the corpse and he heard another bandit lose his lunch. Kagome growled louder as the crow ripped its way out of the back of the body with the Jewel clutched in its beak. "The Jewel!" She cried pulling her arm out of the corpse. She looked around frantically and grabbed a nearby spear and threw it at the crow who dodged it. "You won't get away! Come back coward!" Her eyes lit on a bow and set of arrows and she grinned. You are so dead now crow! She grabbed Inuyasha by the wrist and winced at the feel of his skin beneath her fingers. With the other hand she grabbed the weapons and dragged Inuyasha outside.
Inuyasha pulled against Kagome's grip but it was harder than the bandits. He cried out in shock as Kagome threw him onto her back and his legs gripped her hips tightly. Oh…my…god!
Kagome could smell him too well and she scowled as she ran. "He will not get away." She handed the bow and arrows over her shoulder and the boy just stared at them. "Don't just sit there idiot. Shoot it!"
"What?" He asked looking at the bow. "I don't know how to shoot a bow."
"That crow demon feeds on humans. Think of what will happen if he gets stronger." Kagome said thinking fast. She watched as the crow swallowed the Jewel. Damn!
He swallowed it! Inuyasha thought gripping the bow. "Fly steady." He yelled down to Kagome.
"I will." Kagome said smiling grimly. Once she kills the bird I have no more use for her. The ground is a long way down. "One shot boy! Sesshomaru was a master of the bow!" She felt a clutch in her chest at the thought of Sesshomaru but it just fed her anger at him. How dare that bastard try to kill me!
"I told you I'm Inuyasha not Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled tempted to tug on the silver hair laying under him. He looked up at the bird and drew an arrow onto the string. But right now I need your help Sesshomaru. He lined up the sight of the arrow and fired and it flew straight and true…
For about 10 feet. Then it fell from the sky. Kagome almost dropped right there. That was horrible.
"Are you sure Sesshomaru was a master at the bow?" Inuyasha asked, cause if I got his bow power he sucked ass.
"I'm sure that you're not him." Kagome said frustrated. The bird exploded into a bigger shape and she growled. Damn it.
