Chapter 2: Ambush in the Forest
Sesshomaru tagged along behind the rest, chasing after a small demon.
"Would you hurry up!" InuYasha snapped, "we don't have all day!"
"Ugh," Sesshomaru cried, putting his head, between his legs.
"I won't hit ya, if you keep up!" InuYasha said.
"InuYasha!" Kagome scolded, "don't be so hard on him!"
"He has to learn to be strong and not be so afraid," InuYasha explained, "I won't always be there
to help him!"
"But don't be so hard on him!" Kagome yelled again.
"Don't fight guys, please!" Sesshomaru cried, holding his hand up in front of him, "I'm not worth
fighting over!"
"Hgh!" InuYasha grunted, spinning around, and continued walking.
"Oh," Sesshomaru sighed, hanging his head.
"Don't listen to him," Kagome whispered, lifting his head up to face her, "I don't mind that you
don't fight. I like you just the way you are. Heh!"
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, and smiled through his sad face.
"Thank you, Kagome!" Sesshomaru sighed, with a big smile, "you always make me feel better."
Kagome smiled at him, and then planted a small kiss on his lips. Sesshomaru quivered as their lips
touched. Sesshomaru and Kagome had been together for almost 4 months now, but
Sesshomaru was still a little afraid of girls, just like fighting. He had grown very close to Kagome, in
that time.
"Let's go!" Kagome sang, grabbing Sesshomaru's hand and pulled him along.
The group continued their trek along their path. Sesshomaru took a look back at the area they
had just crossed, when he noticed a shadow jump from a tree and into the woods.
"Humph!" Sesshomaru cowered, grabbing Kagome by the shirt.
"Is something wrong, Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked.
"I can think of at least 100 things wrong with him!" InuYasha hissed, chuckling a little.
"InuYasha!..." Kagome began, in a sinister voice.
"Ugh?..." InuYasha squeaked out, knowing what was coming, "No, wait, I'm sorry!"
"Sit boy!"
Smash!
"I thought I saw a shadow of a demon!" Sesshomaru told them, looking away from InuYasha.
"Let's check it out," Miroku offered. The group turned around and walked off the trail, into the
woods. InuYasha was left behind, buried 3 feet under, face first in the ground.
"Kagome...," InuYasha puffed out, face buried in the ground.
"This is boring! Borrrrrrrrring!" the guy, sang obnoxiously, "why do we have to play around with
them, can't we just kill them?"
"I like to play with my prey, before I go in for the kill, "said the woman, smiling devilishly, "you
need to learn to slow down, and enjoy all the pleasures of killing you can!"
"Yeah, yeah," mumbled the guy. Just then, Sesshomaru and the group came into the
part of the woods, that they were resting in. They were looking to ambush the group from
above.
"So, where's this Demon of yours, Sesshomaru?!" InuYasha snapped, "you sure it wasn't your
own shadow you saw, you crybaby!"
"Don't call him that, InuYasha!" Kagome barked, he's not a crybaby, "He just needs some
confidence, that's all!"
"Sure, whatever!"
The group looked around, but couldn't find anything. They all dropped to the ground, to take a
rest.
"This is stupid!" InuYasha growled, "why are we chasing after some imaginary Demon, when we
could be fighting a real one?!"
"We actually don't know if Sesshomaru's is lying or not!" Miroku calmly stated, "we need to take it
seriously!"
"Aw, Geez!" InuYasha grunted, impatiently, "fine whatever! I'm going to sleep!"
InuYasha rolled over on his side, rested his head on one hand, and closed his eyes.
The rest were all tired, so they followed InuYasha's rude example, and went to sleep. The night
was very quite. So quiet, that InuYasha shuttered, himself.
Above them, the guy and girl Demon watched, as they waited for the right time to attack.
"Let's do it, now!" the guy Demon shrieked, "let's kill them now!"
"Ok, but don't kill them totally," the girl Demon muttered, "I want to have some fun first!"
The two Demon's crouched, ready to pounce; and then they did. The two of them, went
opposite ways in the trees above, and circled around the group. Then, they jumped out, and
attacked the group.
"Crimson wave!" the girl Demon shouted out, waving her hands out in a circular motion, across
her body. The blast of red energy, moved very quickly, and made it to the group, in only a split
second. The blast looked like it would hit them head-on, but at the last second, InuYasha's eyes
shot open and he jumped up into the air, using both hands and feet and charged the attack.
"Backlash Wave!!!" InuYasha screamed, wiping out Tetsaiga, and counterattacking the blast.
Fwoosh...Bang
The two attacks connected, and bounced off one another. InuYasha's attack did a little better,
and shot back the attack, back at it's source. The woman Demon saw it coming, and dodged it
with ease. The giant blast of both energies, flew past the woman, and totally leveled the forest
behind her. Trees were pulled up, not just the root, but by the ground around it as well. Islands
of ground, were yanked from the earth, still holding on to the trees from where they were
planted there. The woman jumped down to the ground, as her accomplice, came in from the
other side, and attacked as well.
"Mega Ax Attack!" he shouted, as he flung his giant Ax at the group, from behind. InuYasha
heard him, but wasn't quick enough to react to it. Sango jumped in and took center stage.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled, as she threw her boomerang at him. The two weapons collided with
each other, and ricocheted back to both of them.
"Ha, I see that you are as strong as the stories tell," the woman laughed.
"Yeah?" InuYasha laughed as well, but it was more of a 'who cares laugh', "well, I'm going to
show you why those stories of me are true!"
InuYasha rushed forward, and lunged at the woman.
"Come and get it!" she sneered.
