Kikyou made no reply. Her eyes stayed fixed on Kagome. They were sharp enough to cut glass. Kagome didn't flinch. She wouldn’t back down now. She took a step towards the tree.

The Southern Air temple loomed out of the mist. Its slender spires rose near as high as the mightiest peaks in the Patola mountains. Even the sky paled before their magnificent blue. Yet its beauty did nothing to ease the pit in her stomach. There was no turning back now...

A soft titter drifted down from the canopy. Miroku drew in another breath. His grip tightened on Kagome's tunic. His stare was fixed on the shadows.

Chapter preview:

“H-how did you-”

“Oh, it was easy enough to follow our ears.”

Kagome's gaze shot towards the unfamiliar voice. A tall, spare man offered her a thin smile through his salt and pepper beard. His face sparked a memory from the previous morning. He was one of the villagers who'd stood by Mrs Ikeda. There was no guarantee he'd be a friend but at least he wasn't another foe...

Her whip shot through the gloom.  Another crack came as it brushed the root. The spirits gave a screech that sent her staggering. The whole cavern shuddered. Her whip went wide. She snatched it back with a gasp...

Inuyasha didn't move. Sango stared him down. The spirit stared with her. Faint light flickered in his palms. The air was taut with silence.

"I see you still don't do hints."

Hiten didn't even hit the ground. The spirits met his fall with cries of rapture. He was swallowed by a wave of shadows. 

Inuyasha hurtled after him with a yell. He slammed into the dirt inches from the gate. The spirits tore at the barrier as they scrabbled to claim him. Their claws still couldn't reach beyond the stones. He watched the onslaught with an ashen face...

Shippou's eyes narrowed. His flames flared higher as he weighed up Mayu's burns and bruises. His mouth twisted into a snarl. His shoulders were still shaking.

"Touch them again and I'll-"

Chapter preview:

His only reply was a rush of flames. The tunnel was thrown into relief. Her eyes didn't even have a second to adjust.

A shadow flitted past the corner of her vision. Her warning ended in a scream. Lightning ripped through the air. Inuyasha leapt aside like a startled cat. The ground split like kindling.

 Smoke stung her eyes. She blinked away her tears with a cough. Inuyasha crouched with flattened ears, clutching Mayu under his arm. His singed sleeve was still smouldering. His teeth were set in a snarl. His gaze was locked on the figure silhouetted before the braziers...

"Mayu!" Satoru choked back a sob. A few moments passed before he managed to speak again. "You okay?"

Mayu kept on staring. Her face was torn between relief and worry. "How did you-"

"Li, I mean, uh, Shippou helped us."

"Us?"

"There's... others." Satoru's voice wavered on the word.

"Others?" Inuyasha's eyes narrowed. "How many?"

Made an art dump for Bend and Don’t Break on A03. Let’s see if I can get any feedback that isn’t “where’s the next chapter?”  ^^;

(It’s coming - I didn’t take my laptop on holiday with me, so I’m doing some catching up this weekend)
