*CRASH* *CRASH*
"WHaaTTT?!!" came the centipede-monster's confused and enraged rail as two trees lanced down either side and effectively pinned her in place. Inuyasha looked up where the trees came from, and found Kagome floating in midair, her right arm extended as if coming out of a throw.
"Inuyasha, now! While she can't move!" shouted Kagome.
"Right! SANKON TETS'SOU!!" This time, Inuyasha's attack struck home. With a sickening, yet strangely satisfying tearing sound, Mistress Centipede's body was sundered. Among admiring gasps of villagers being impressed, Inuyasha landed triumphantly amidst falling chunks of fresh-cut monster-centipede flesh. Yum, yum.
Wow! He's pretty cool! thought Kagome in admiration as she landed herself. Was it just her, or was her maiden circuit beginning to get a bit warm?
Her admiration was short-lived, as a movement caught her eye. The chunks of centipede flesh were still twitching, and not in the way a dying creature's flesh twitches with decreasing intensity. No, these pieces were actually becoming more and more active. "Oh, for crissakes! Don't you give up?!"
"The Shikon jewel burns inside her," Lady Kaede said. "Look for a place where the flesh glows, and remove the jewel. Unless you do this, the monster's body will resurrect itself through time without end!"
Kagome swallowed. That would be bad! But as she looked around at the pieces of gross flesh for this telltale glow, she got to thinking about why it had to be her!
"There it is!" she said, pointing at a glowing spot in one of the twitching chunks.
"Don't just sit there, girl. Dig it out!" Kaede commanded.
Kagome twitched. Shaking, she reached out to the glow... and then, pushed... her... hand... into the twitching, slimy wet, toasty warm, stinky centipede guts. "EWWWWWWW!!!! Barf-a-roni!!" she squealed. She perservered though, and yanked the ping-pong ball sized jewel free from the flesh. The chunks stopped twitching and started sublimating with a foul stench. "Ugh! Gag me!"
Lady Kaede knelt by Kagome as she cleaned the jewel of stray bits of centipede guts. "So you're saying that this Shinkon jewel thing-a-ma-jig gives power to demons?"
"Exactly, which means it's no use to humans!" declared Inuyasha, cracking his knuckles. "So unless you want to feel my claws, I suggest you hand it over!"
