I was letting the warm water loosen my tense muscles from the day. It felt good. I let my thoughts wander for a bit...
I realised I had fallen asleep sitting in the shallow bath. I awoke and quickly dressed, wondering how long i had been there. As I walked out of the bath house, however, my thoughts were rudely interrupted.
"Oh!" I gasped. There walking toward the castle was, what seemed to be, a demon. She bore a human form, and was surrounded by weaker demons. She had long silver hair tied back with a black and purple kimono. The staff she held was radiating a demonic aura so strong i cringed at the sight.
"Who is that??" I breathed. I had to warn the others. I started to run as fast as i could toward the room where we stayed. As soon as i got there, i started shouting, "There's a powerful demon heading this way!"
Inuyasha shot up. "What? A demon?!" he went outside. I followed, along with the others. The demon was waiting there with her "minions" and she smiled as she spoke.
"Inuyasha." She took a step foward. "I have some unfinished business with you."
Inuyasha balled his hands into fists at his sides. "I believe we do."
"Inuyasha, what is she talking about?" I asked, confused.
The demon laughed. "I will kill you, Inuyasha. I finally gained a new technique that will finish you."
"Inuyasha! Tell me!"
Inuyasha sighed. "This demon, Amaya, to be specific, has had it out for me for a long time."
"Why?"
"It's a long story, but her anger is fueled by revenge, something I did to her brother years ago."
"Why did you do it?"
"Nevermind that, now. I need to take care of this," He took a step foward.
"Inuyasha, you have no idea what i have in store for you," Amaya sneered, taking a step toward us.
"Heh. I'd like to see you try."
"Your death." She lunged at Inuyasha then. Inuyasha quickly shoved me out of the way and drew his sword to block her. They began to fight. I was off to the side, confused and worried. Sango, miroku and shippo were fighting the weaker demons that suddenly came after them.
"Sango! Miroku! Shippo!" I drew my bow and arrow and went to help. I killed a few demons, but there were so many of them. I couldn't keep up. One came for me, and I screamed.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. He quickly came and went, picking me up in the process.
"My opportunity." Amaya shreiked. She suddenly shot a bolt of energy from her staff at him.
"Inuyasha watch out!" I screamed in his arms. Inuyasha wasn't quick enough. The bolt shot through his shoulder, going all the way through. Inuyasha hollered in pain. He jumped away and set me down.
"Inuyasha! No! Are you ok?" I felt his shoulder. Blood was slowly starting to leak out. I gasped.
"It's nothing...I'll be fine. Ugh!" He fell to his knees.
"Inuyasha!!" I bent down to hold his head. "Inuyasha what's happened to you?"
"I...don't know...I think she injected me with something...I can't...stay..." He fell to the ground, unconcious.
"No! Inuyasha! What happened?" I turned to Amaya, furious and scared. "What did you do?"
"I gave him a taste of my new medicine. It's a blend especially for demons. He now has it coarsing through his veins. He will now change between his human form, his full demon form, and his regular form more and more frequently, eventually going so fast that his body won't be able to handle it anymore. He will eventually die."
"But, why?" I held Inuyasha in my arms.
"I wanted to see him suffer, physically and mentally. It's the ultimate demise. I'll see you when he's about to die." She twisted her staff in the air, creating a funnel in the air. All of us were caught up in it, except for Amaya. I could see Sango and the others getting blown away.
"Sango! Shippo! Miroku!!" But they were already gone. I clung to Inuyasha , flying through the air, and finally landing on a hill with a thud. The funnel disappeared. I kept my face close to Inuyasha's, too afraid to lift my head. He ws still unconcious.
"Inuyasha...no...wake up!" I shook him. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking and dazed.
"Wh...what...happened?" He looked at me weakly.
"Inuyasha..." I said relieved. "Amaya..she...she..." and I told him what her plan was.
