The Battle Begins

Kagome faced the direction of the jewel shards. Min wrestled her way out of the bushes into the small clearing. Kagome gasped and pointed.

"You! How did you even get here?!" she asked.

"Wait human!" said a male demon. Hiaski and Mizu came in following the path Min had made.

"Ah! Demons!" Rin dove behind Ah-Un since Sesshomaru wasn't there to dive behind.

" Min? Who are they?!" Kagome asked.

"Mizu and Hiaski. I don't trust them yet but I don't think they'll hurt anyone," Min said, "Can I help you track down Naraku?"

"You brought the jewel with you, huh?" Kagome asked.

"Jewel shard?!" Hiaski asked.

Mizu nodded, "You did not inform us of a jewel shard, Min."

Just then Sesshomaru dove back into the clearing. Ignoring the three newcomers, he grabbed Kagome, Rin and Shippo and jumped out before wind sliced through the area.

"What the hell is going on?!" Min yelled shielding her eyes.

"That wind is from the attack of the demon wind mistress, Kagura!" Hiaski yelled.

"I think I read of her in a book before…" Min mumbled.

Suddenly a shout, carried by the wind exploded in the woods, "Hand over all your shards of the Scared Jewel!!"

Sesshomaru landed on top of a tree, holding Kagome bridal style who held Shippo and Rin. Sesshomaru let out a growl at the misfortune of not being able to find a safe place to set them down. Just then another roar came through the area.

"No way…" Shippo mumbled, "Kilala?"

A swirl of fire was seen in the sky and Miroku and Sango came riding on Kilala.

"SANGO!! I sense a evil not far in the distance!" Miroku yelled.

"Sesshomaru? What's going on?" Kagome asked.

Kagura came in, on the large feather that could ride the wind. Sango's Hiraikotsu went strait at Kagura's head. The demon wove her fan and sent the large boomerang off track.

"I need a bow!" Kagome shrieked.

Shippo hopped off, "Fox Magic!" Five more Shippo-s appeared and one transformed into a graceful eagle as the others transformed into a bow and arrows.

"Wow Shippo! Your transformations are much better!" Kagome said.

"Never mind! Get on!" Shippo commanded.

Kagome left Rin with Sesshomaru who merely observed. Kagome pulled a arrow against the string and aimed for Kagura. The wind of Kagura's fan sent it toward where Sango could be seen retrieving the Hiraikotsu.

"Sango!" Kagome yelled and Shippo made the arrow poof into un-existence, "Good work Shippo…"

Kagome ran a hand into her pocket and pulled out the necklace Min gave her.

"Oh no Kagome! Not that thing!" Shippo warned.

Kagome pushed it into the head of her next arrow. The cloned-arrow whined as the strange thing began working of the demon energy but Kagome shot at Kagura again. Kagura waved her fan again but it had no effect.

"What?!" Kagura yelled.

The arrow hit target. A scream was heard before light exploded, blinding everyone. It flashed away and Kagura was gone

"Wow Kagome…" Min mumbled.

"What happened?" Shippo asked.

"I think I killed Kagura…" Kagome mumbled.
