It didn't take long to catch up to the woman. She had run into a dead end, with nothing but a wall of stone behind her. Her emerald eyes flickered over the pair in surprise, and she offered a calm smile. The leaves on the surrounding trees rustle in as a strong gust of wind passed.
"I expected you to run." The woman stated, before cracking her whip towards the hyenas. The tip of the chain spit flames over the Youkai, who howled, in response. Almost out of no where the flames dissolved and the woman scowled.
Opting to help the mysterious Youkai, Kagome pulled out her bow.
"Inuyasha!" She called whilst taking aim at one of the demons.
"I'm on it!" He responded, pulling his trusty Tessaiga out. He still didn't trust the odd woman, but if Kagome insisted... That girl was so trusting.
The Youkai woman was busy shooting flames at the hoard of accosting demons. Inuyasha started to tear through the crowd, which seemed to be never ending. Keeping her distance, Kagome fired one arrow after the other, trying to allow time for her Miko power to build around the tip. Eventually a hyena- The largest yet- emerged from the foliage of the forest. Before Kagome could even see the beast it grabbed her, and she called Inuyasha.
"Kagome!" He responded seeing her bow drop to the ground. The girl's arms were restrained he the unnaturally large hand around her. Peering up at the monster, Kagome's eyes widened.
"He's got a jewel shard!" She called, unable to conceal her panic.
"Oh yeah?! That's all I need to hear!" The half breed called back, as he shifted his course of action to the grotesquely over sized beast.
It was standing on two legs, and had eyes the color of blood. The monster bellowed a fearsome war cry, and the surrounding hyena halted. They peered at their leader for a second before taking new forms of their own. Inuyasha moved to strike the beast, but it flung him away. The hyena all seemed to shed their need to walk on four legs. The stood up, and grew more muscular; opting to attempt to grab the other woman instead of fight her. Kagome heard a cry of surprise which was obviously said woman
"Hang on Kagome!" Inuyasha called, rushing towards the girl. As he did, the hyena all crowded around him. Though he fought, he was being grasped from all directions. Seeing that the pair were fairing poorly against the challengers the woman leaped over the hyenas an to the leader. She cracked her whip at it, but the flames didn't catch the beast's fur. Instead it grabbed her as well. Growing aggravated, the woman used the last trick up her sleeve. Her hair and tail erupted into a bright blue flame as she scowled up at the monster. It cried out in surprise, almost releasing the woman. But soon it's grip tightened to an unbearable degree and she shrieked in pain. The sound resembled a dog's whine, and the woman soon fell limp in the beast's hand.
Inuyasha was being weighed down by the surrounding hyenas, and though he slashed with all his might, it seemed as if they never stopped coming. As if there was an infinite amount of enemies,and he didn't have the time to do anything but swing at them a he received multiple bite wounds.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome called, and when the half breed looked up, the women were being carried away by the largest beast. It walked through the tree tops, occasionally ducking down so to avoid hitting it's head. The half breed called back to Kagome, as he was engulfed by hyenas. the last thing he could see was his hand reaching towards her before he was sucked into the under tow.
