A/N: I know this chapter is really, really short... but i couldn't get rid of that cliffhanger like sentance at the bottom of the page! SO I'll try updating soon!
Chapter Five: Demons, Half-demons, and Jewels, OH MY!
Horrorstruck, I stared at the being.
It had multiple arms… and reminded me of… a centipede. It had long flowing black hair, and dark red eyes that landed straight on me.
I held back a scream.
"Give me the sacred jewel shards." It hissed.
Kaede's head whipped around to look at me.
"Sacred jewel shards?" she demands.
"I-I dunno!"I shriek, as the … thing, launches itself after me.
"Keep running!" Kaede instructs me, as she distracts it with a rock, "I'll lure it away!"
A moment later I hear her muttering into a cell phone, about back up, before, I crash away from the scene of the attack, heart beating like a drum… being played by a crazy drum player no doubt.
I have no idea, what the hell that thing was… but one thing is for sure. It's following me. I can hear its hissing, and crawling, and screeching… and I'm scared beyond words. What's even scarier? I don't know how to get out of this forest! I think that I've passed this tree at least… 4 times now…..
I hear it close behind me… when… I trip, and glance up in time to see… I'm back where I started. Great.
"Damn it…" I mutter as I get to my, feet, casting my eyes around nervously.
Then he spoke.
"Gotten soft, Kikyo?"
I started when I heard his voice, and I stared, in surprise, as he looked down at me from his resting place… illuminated by the moonlight. What… how?
"excuse me?" I ask softly, beyond freaked out.
"Feh. Can't take on a centipede by yourself, Kikyo?" he scoffs.
"Shut up." I finally have the sense to say, "And for your information, I'm not Kikyo! My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me."
"Yeah right. You couldn't be anyone but her." He retorts, " I wouldn't be able to forget her scent"
I can't help but wonder what he had to do with my cousin.
"You think I don't know who I am?" I ask accusingly.
"I'm not wrong – I'm never wrong… you have to be-" he brakes off, and stares, " You aren't her are you?"
"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations!"
"Feh. Kikyo was much hotter anyways." He replies , turning away his head.
I try not to let his comment get to me.
"Well, you're not too hot yourself are y-"
"Incoming." he grins.
As he said it, the demon burst from the bushes
