Chapter 2: In the Middle of a Thousand Demons

Kagome's eyes shot open and they widened as she looked at the three other women staring at her. Ayame frowned," bout time you woke up. Now if you look around, you'll see that we're in the middle of a thousand demons... literally."

The fifteen year old looked around them. And sure enough there was a crowd of demons surrounding them, looking as arrogant as ever. She asked," why haven't you kill them yet?"

"We're waiting on our leader." The way Kikyo let 'leader' roll off her tongue was a definate sign that she didn't want to be lead by another. Kagome stood up and dusted herself off.

As soon as she did, one demon yelled pointing at her, "There she is. The wench with the Shikon no Tama!"

Kagome held back a gasp, ' According to what Saiyuki-sama said, we just came to this world. So how do they know about the jewel?' Her thoughts were interrupted as the demons lunged at them.

She told her 'friends', "Alright lets do it!" Kikyo almost rolled her eyes at the small trace of optimism in the younger girl's voice. But she joined the others in battle anyway.

Ayame kicked a demon and was surprised to see it just shatter in millions of pieces instead of merely dropping dead. 'I'll think about it later' then she continued her assault on another demon.

Kikyo let go of the bow's string and let an arrow glowing greenish-blue fly through the air and purify every lined up demon in front of her into oblivion. The older miko turned to see an arrow glowing bluish-white whizz pass her and destroy a demon that was sneaking up on her. Kikyo down at Kagome and the younger priestess nodded.

Sango threw her giant Hiraikotsu and successfully killed 23 of them. She watched as they dropped dead like ants when threw her poison powder. (She didnt throw it close enough to kill her friends.)

T.R.I.A.L.

The four sweating girls panted as the demon fell. Sango approached Kagome "now wha-" Her question was cut by a sharp horrible pain in her stomach. Ayame's eyes softened as the same thing started to happen to Kagome and Kikyo. All three of them fell to the ground.

Saiyuki appeared and worry was plastered all over her face. The she wolf asked "what's happening to them?" Saiyuki shook her head in response and suddenly a golden ring, hoop earring, coronet, and arm band appeared in her hands. She kneeled beside Sango and placed the ring on her middle finger.

She went to Kikyo and placed the earring in her left.(It was already pierced) Then she went to Kagome's aid placed the coronet on her forehead. Finally she reponded as she went to Ayame "they're turning into demons...demons in this world need power-imiters or else they'll go ballistic. I guess it would take awhile to effect you since you were a demon when you came to this world. But put this on anyway."

She nodded put the arm-band. "But why are they turning into demons...is it apart of their new powers?"

Saiyuki shook her head "There is legend that if you kill a thousand demons you'll become one yourself." With that Saiyuki disappeared.

After awhile the three calmed down and feel into a deep sleep. Ayame yawned slightly and plopped down on the soft grass. 'Right now, sleep doesn't sound so bad...'
