Ok, here's chapter three. There's a bit more action in this one. I just wrote this less than five minutes ago so its a bit raw. I'll fix it up and make it better later.

If you are reading this than PLZ leave a comment! Also, I say once again that I am open to any ideas that could improve this story.


Ch. 3

The forest looked different at night. Bigger. Darker.

Branches kept scratching my face and tangling my hair. I even tripped once or twice and fell face down into the dirt. The only bright side was that I seemed to be losing the spider.

But, as my luck would have it, the demon came down from above and charged towards me. It missed me by an inch, shaking up the ground and throwing me into the air. I flew a yards ahead and landed once more in the dirt, my head hitting something hard. I stumbled up and gingerly rubbed my head.

"Kikyo? You know you look pretty dumb standing there. Look at yourself, did you spend the past few days in a pigsty?"

This voice startled me at first, but after all I'd been through it got me fuming. I turned around pointed my finger at the dead boy stuck to the tree.

"Look here dog ears, I've been kidnapped, tied up, and thrown into the air numerous times today. The last thing I need is-" Wait a minute. Dead boy stuck to a tree? I screamed and jumped back.

"Y-you, you're supposed to be dead!"

"Guess your arrows don't work as well as you thought, huh Kikyo?"

"Giant mutant spiders! No microwave popcorn! Talking dog-eared zombies! It's official," I threw my hands into the air and slapped my forehead, "Grandpa always said it. All that instant ramen and pocky would someday go to head. Can't believe I never listened to him!"

A rustle from the trees interrupted my ranting. I stopped and turned, dreading what was in them. The demon spider popped out and landed in front of me.

"Give it to me!" it shouted.

Seriously, this bug had to be a bit more specific than that.

"Ha! You look pretty dumb standing there Kikyo! Why don't you use your arrows and kill it like you did me?"

"Hush dog-zombie! It's obvious that you have some girlfriend issues here, but I'm kinda busy running for my life at the moment," I shouted at it in an annoyed tone.

The spider opened its mouth and spit out another gush of venom. I jumped and ran up the roots of the tree. It lunged for me and put out my hands in front of me as if to block him(yeah, like that would do any good). Just like back at the well a white light poured out. The spider screamed and fell back.

I stared down at my hand in wonder.

"Just like back at the well..." I whispered to myself. Something started to glow and I looked down at my side to see a small white orb of glowing light.

The spider saw it as well. It lunged at me, grabbing me with its fangs and biting the white orb out of my side. Then he threw me down on the ground, now useless. Everything was hazy for a second, then razor-sharp. I could hear every sound and see every detail like the edge of a knife. This was thanks to the sudden pain inflicted on my side. I clutched my hands around it. It felt warm and wet. I withdrew my hands and found them covered in blood. I went dizzy again.

"Yes, my strength! Nothing can defeat me now!"

Oh crap. I'd totally forgotten about spiderman over there. I saw him stick out his long tongue and swallow the crystal. Immediately he started to grow. His human half turned black and his white eyes were now red as blood. I started to feebly crawl away when he started his supervillain laugh, but was quickly spotted.

"Not so fast, I still haven't had my main course!" he chuckled as he snatched me up with his fangs and threw me against the sacred tree. A giant web shot out of his mouth and pinned me against it. I tried to struggle, but knew it was no use.

I sighed. Some birthday this turned out to be.

"Hey, KEEk-yo? What's wrong? Not as strong as you used to be? What happened to your arrows?" the dog zombie asked as he smirked slyly.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?! I'M NOT KIKYO! JUST GET OVER YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND AND MOVE ON ALREADY!" I shouted in rage. If this was an anime show my head would have been steaming right now.

The guy sniffed me and muttered, "Humph, your not her, Kikyo was prettier anyway." I gave a load groan, but was glad that he finally seemed to get it through his thick head that I wasn't his old girlfriend. He now stared calmly ahead at the spider. By now a group of villagers had caught up and were trying to fight him, prolonging my life just a bit longer. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hey," he said calmly to me as he continued staring at the spider, "Do you think you could pull this arrow out?"

"Huh?" my head was spinning.

"Do you think you could pull out this arrow or not?! It's that simple!"

Geez, temper temper.

"No Kameko, don't pull it out, he will wreak havoc upon us," Kaede warned. How did she get here?

"Come on! It's not like I could do any more damage than that guy! Do you know anybody else who could defeat him?"

I processed this. Remove arrow. Not get eaten. Sounds good to me.

I reached over to the side where he was pinned, "I'm probably going to regret this, but anything's better than being eaten," I said as I pulled it out.

There was a quick burst of white light, and dog ears began thumping, like a heartbeat. He started laughing slowly, then raised his head and laughed hysterically. He rose his hand, showing off his long sharp claws.

He turned to me, grinning evilly.

"You just made a huge mistake," he said, cracking his knuckles.
