Ch 4 blood
"Here are your rooms! I hoped you had a good dinner and sleep tight! Now I'll leave you to yourselves." The Head Chief of the village says.
"Hai"
"Well girls lets get that room over there. Boys you get the one with the hole on the roof and the broken door." Kagome says with Sango and Kawaiina snickering.
"Aww Kagome can't I spent the night with you?" Shippo begged with pleading eyes.
"Oh… come on. Shippo you can stay with us!" Kawaiina patted shippo on the head.
"Not fair! Oui Kagome, can I stay with you too? Please?" Kouga trys to imitate Shippo.
"No! It's ok Kouga! You can stay with Inuyasha and Miroku." Kagome goes into the room with her other companions. Inuyasha was in the background looking very grumpy but said nothing.
Everyone is asleep now or so it was suppose to be…but Kawaiina was still up, so she crept out of the room. While passing the boys room with the broken door, Kouga saw her walking pass so he decided to follow her and see what is up with this girl…
Kawaiina sat by a tree. She took out her changing device on her hand and gave up some of her energy into the device when she smelled a familiar scent and recognized it immediately.
"Kouga-kun what are you doing here?" Kawaiina asks.
"Heh your senses are pretty quick. What are you doing here?"
"I'm….uh…just letting my youkai energy be absorbed by the device"
"And why is that?"
"By doing that I would be the only one who could use it unlike that stupid giant…"
"Baka, that would leave you really weak for a while like a human!"
"That's why I'm doing it during the night when I'm suppose to be sleeping. Why aren't you sleeping? Huh? Just to come out to spy on me?"
"Hmph I wasn't spying…I couldn't sleep so I wanted to come out."
"Thinking of Kagome?"
"You won't understand about Kagome. sigh the stars out here are nice…." Kouga lies down on his back looking up. "Kawaiina, you're such a different demon…so…." Before he finished he noticed that Kawaiina was already asleep leaning against the tree.
"stupid, see how weak you are…" I should stay here, she's so weak now, what if something comes…
AHHH!
"What happen Kagome?…" Sango said very sleepily and rubbed her eyes.
"Kawaiina-chan is gone!" Kagome yelled out in dismay.
"She's just probably outside somewhere, don't get overexcited" Sango reassured her.
"O lets look for her- NEH KAWAIINA!" Kagome shouts but no one answers. She walks outside and finds Kawaiina and Kouga. Kawaiina was leaning on a tree sleeping and Kouga was on the floor on his back.
"Hey what's going on?" Inuyasha yawns and Kawaiina wakes up.
"What's going on? Why is everyone here?" Kawaiina ponders.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome looks at her intently.
"I was just claiming my changing device here" Kawaiina stated. "Oui, Kouga still here? I fell asleep"
"Sure…Neh Kouga, wake up" Inuyasha kicks Kouga on the side and he finally wakes up…
"OUI you want a piece of this!" Kouga jumps to life.
The gang continues their journey through a forest. Kawaiina hops on the branches around the trees up ahead of the group. She was jumping around and having fun when she sensed something weird. She jumped off the branch she was on and when she sensed it coming again…It was at the foot of her feet, so she jumped up and landed on something dark and shadow-like. As fast as it had came, the shadow slid from under Kawaiina's feet and tripped her while it got away.
"Must be a youkai of some sort…Kagome any shikon shards?" Inuyasha asks.
"From that thing, no…but I thinks there's one somewhere here…" Kagome replies.
"Ok, let's get it!" Inuyasha gets his sword out.
"Not unless I get it first!" Kouga says but thinks to himself Stupid dog, he doesn't know what he's facing. What Kawaiina sensed wasn't an ordinary thing. Hmm I wonder if Inuyasha is older than Kawaiina? She seems to know much more about survival in life than he does, haha baka-inu.
Gasp it comes again…A fast slash of shadow tripped all of them down. Then more shadows tried to wrap around them as they were on the ground. Inuyasha who was almost trapped finally managed to break out; he cut through the shadows and saved the rest.
"You guys don't let it cover you or you'll be taken to its den for dinner or something" Kawaiina yelled frantically.
"It's coming!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"JUMP!" Kawaiina yelled out. Everyone was like huh? But whatever; they didn't have anything better. With Shippo on the transformed Kirara, they jumped and the shadow thingy swooshed away into another bush.
"Hey we dodged it…so now how do we catch it?" Sango says "Hey!" She looks around because she definitely was sensing something big approaching.
"Shikon shards!" Kagome lets the other know.
The big shadow was huge and black. It revealed its true form with claws throwing everything away from its path. All the other shadows that the gang had been fighting came out from their hiding to bid their master. The big one yelled out a horrible scream. Most likely mad for his little ones for being picked on. Then the little shadows were sucked into the big one making it more powerful. (Ok this part is just a little cheesy, but c'mon stay with me!)
Hiraikotsu! But the boomerang didn't even scratch the big guy. The monster is frantic and is lunging at the gang knocking Miroku out when he was trying to hit him with his staff. Kouga was dodging attacks every so often and trying to kick with his powerful feet but he was very closely getting hit with the monster's deadly claws.
"Kuso! This thing is so hard to destroy… but not for long!" Inuyasha gets his sword ready to concentrate on the wound of the wind.
"Take this you bastard!" He swings his sword and a big beam shot out straight towards the shadow monster, but what's this!
The shadow is expanding himself. He wrapped his whole body with the light Inuyasha gave out with his sword and absorbed it!
"NANI! How can he do that!" Inuyasha was pissed.
"Heh guess you're not as strong as I thought" Kouga was smirking and panting.
"Kurosai (shut up)!" Inuyasha said with an unbelieving tone.
"The Shikon shard is on his back!" Kagome sat on top of a transformed Shippo. (a pink balloon thing). He is reluctantly moving towards the monster. Raising her arrow to the monster, who was currently fighting against Kawaiina, Kagome thinks to herself. I can hit him where I want to! I can! "Here it goes" She lets her arrow fly! It hits….his hand….cutting it off…but that was all it did.
Enraged by this, the monster threw a fit and slashed at Kawaiina who apparently tried to dodge it but…too late this guy got her across the chest with his claws. Kawaiina's blood splashed onto the monster. The blood….unexpectantly seems to be melting the flesh of the monster…Gasp what is going on? My blood got on the creepy guy and melted his hand? What is happening to me?
Kawaiina fell backwards towards the floor when the monster got her. This Shadow monster is really desperate now! He lunged at Kawaiina. Risking in contact with her blood or not! Good thing, Kouga came on time and blocked the attack. Kagome meanwhile dragged the shocked girl onto safety.
"Kagome what happen?" Kawaiina said in a hoarsed and scared voice.
"I don't know, I don't know…" Kagome repeated.
"Hey! A little help here! I can't hold him off for long!" Inuyasha yells out.
"That monster each lost a hand to one of you guys" Shippo pondered. "I guess one wasn't enough effort, so attack him together!" hehehe Shippo says feeling very smart.
"Hey that's a good idea, try it!" Sango lifted Miroku into a sitting position. He had finally come to.
"Here take the arrows, wet your tip of the arrow with Kawaiina's blood and Kagome just shoot your purity arrows." Miroku says handing out arrows to Sango then he seemed to collapse again.
"huh? Ok… but it might not work…" Kagome said looking uncertainly at Kawaiina, who seems to be dead already from lost of blood.
Just shoot it Kagome-chan!" said Sango while getting an arrow and wetting it with Kawaiina's blood.
"OoO yea but I have never tried that before…" Kagome was feeling stupid but frantic.
"There's always a first. DO IT! I don't think Inuyasha and Kouga can dodge anymore attacks!" Sango yells. sigh sometimes Kagome can be a pain in the ass…
Kagome unsteadily raised her arrows and aimed at the shadow monster, then fired! A streak of black and white light went towards the shadow, then it was nothing. The shikon shard fell onto the ground.
