Chapter Twenty-Eight: Protect Shippo
Hope sighed and shook her head, standing she turned to see another door just beside the man, breathing in Hope walked over and gently put her hand on the door knob looking at the man who still sat motionless Hope nodded to her self and pushed into the room, looking around Hope could see nothing in the room, it was pretty empty. Looking into the corner Hope noticed someone she knew, smiling and running over to him she fell in front of him.
"Shippo!?" Hope called to him grabbing his shoulders.
Hope shook him a bit trying to wake him up, as the other one he just sat motionless staring off into nothing. Hope felt her heart start to beat fast, was she to late to save him. Hearing something move behind her Hope swung around on her foot looking up Hope watched as the women who had been staring Shippo down for the last two days stepped into the room the boy from the other lay on the floor behind her. Hope looked up at her blood-covered shirt then up to her face as she smiling gently.
"What… W…?" Hope tried to ask.
"He wont come out of my trans, and he will never come back to you." She smiled.
Hope shook her head and turned back to Shippo shacking him, felling tears start to swell in her eyes Hope tried hard to wake Shippo from his trance.
"Shippo answer me!" Hope cried out.
He still said nothing, his eyes staring off into space and his body limp where he sat. Still shacking him Hope growled and finally turned back to the women behind her she had not moved her hand still tightly gripped on the blue glob in her hand.
"What did you do to him!?" Hope demanded.
"I sucked out his soul, would you like to join him?" The women laughed.
Hope looked down at the glob she held tightly in her hand, all those men who disappeared, all those globs in the other room, all those bones, had those been the men, and those globs their souls. She had to have a dozen of them.
"I use their souls as my power, it keeps my body young and my strength on men's hearts heavy, when their soul is in my collection then I eat their handsome flesh. He will be the most taste indeed his handsome face, I am eager to taste him. Then the others shall be next." The women laughed.
"Over my dead body!" Hope yelled as she stood.
"That can be arranged, I don't normally like the taste of female, but for such a rude one I can make an acceptation!"
Hope pulled an arrow from her back pouch and pulled her bow from her shoulder, before she could place the arrow in her bow the women came at her, knocking Hope to the ground she laughed as she bit at Hope's face but unable to reach as Hope struggled to keep her behind the bow. Hope yelled out as she struggled to hold the women off her, bring her legs up Hope placed her feet on the women's stomach and pushed up, getting more weight on her legs Hope was able to slash at the demon with her arrow tip slicing into it's throat Hope jumped up as it let go of her and slung its self backwards grabbing at his throat. Hope quickly put the blood soaked arrow onto her bow and pulled it back and let it fly into the demons leg, the demon cried out in pain again as it grabbed its leg. Hope went for another arrow when she realized her pack was gone all her arrows where gone.
Hope looked around for them but she didn't see any of her arrows anywhere, looking back up to the demon Hope gasped out as the demon laid the arrows next to Shippo's limp body including the arrow that was once in her leg, along with the blue orb she had been holding on to, she smiled as turned to Hope her neck and leg still bleeding. Hope laid her bow down, with no arrows it was useless anyway. The Demon smiled and came at her once again, Hope jumped out of the way quickly making the demon ram into the wall. Turning Hope watched as the demon turned and smiled lifting her hand the demon growled as fire flickered before a ball of fire was spit out at Hope, Hope gasped and tried to jump away but her arm was singed. Crying out in pain Hope grabbed her arm with her other hand.
"I am more powerful then you, its useless to fight me." The Demon smiled.
Hope glared up at her, the demon went to throw another ball of Fire but was stopped, Hope looked down at the jewel around her neck as it began to glow bright, Hope took this opportunity to turn and look at Shippo, sighing in relief that the fire had not hit him Hope turned back to the demon who now stood right in front of her, Hope gasped and tried to move away but had no time the demon had her lifted into the air by her throat. Hope grabbed at her hand trying to pull her off.
"The Shikon jewel, is it that it still has its power?" The demon grinned.
Hope felt her heart beat in her ears as she struggled to get lose. The demon put her hand on the jewel and shook its head.
"Or could the rumors of another jewel being around." The demon thought.
Hope felt her self-growing weaker as she tried to breath, the demon cut off her air supply and had no interest that she had. Hope tried to pull away but everything she did just made the demon grip her throat harder. Trying to call out Hope chocked out but no words would come, the demon had her and probably would eat her body then go in search for the jewel. Saku would probably accept her as his queen then there would be two powerful demons running this Era, what would happen to her Era, would everything change.
"I will find the Shikon no Teema and I will eat every man's handsome flesh!" The demon grinned looking up at Hope.
Hope tried again to pull away but no luck, the glow of the jewel brightened and Hope lowered her head a bit catching sight of the demon's hand as it began to glow red once again, the fire started to flicker and Hope with her last strength grabbed the demons hand with her own and quickly turned it around as the fire excepted her hand.
