Inuyasha glanced at a bow and a quiver of arrows lying next to a beam. He grabbed them and Kagome. "Come!" he said burlesquely. Kagome gave a small squeak of surprise as she was pulled onto his back and the bow and quiver shoved into her hands. Within moments, she found herself soaring through the air on Inuyasha's back. "He won't get away!" growled the dog-boy beneath her. "Shoot it!"
"You can't be serious!" Kagome said, "I've never even held a bow before, much less—"
"That carrion-crow," interrupted Inuyasha, "only feeds on human flesh. What do you think it will do if it gets stronger?"
Kagome swallowed. "Then fly steady!" she barked.
"I will!" answered Inuyasha. He glanced up to his passenger, and smiled cruelly. Once she's shot that crow-demon, I'll have no more need of her, and the ground is a long way down! "One shot, girl!" shouted the half-demon. "Kikyou was a master of the bow!"
"I told you, I'm Kagome!" Kagome yelled back, frustrated. She was quickly tiring of this reincarnation nonsense.
"Better shoot before he swallows it!" Inuyasha warned.
"Right, right..." sighed Kagome and drew back the bow. Don't worry, Kagome, she thought to herself, you might not have shot a bow before, and you're not buying any of this reincarnation crap, but you have a good working knowledge of physics. Get to it.
Her tactical sensors tracking the carrion-crow, Kagome locked onto the demon's relative position to her. From the airflow around her face, she estimated their airspeed. Taking into account the launch characteristics of arrows, Kagome came up with a draw strength and angle. She had tested the flexibility of the arrow as she pulled it out, and had pulled back until she felt the tension precisely what she needed. She angled up to the proscribed angle.
It was now or never!
*Phantom-Light Drive: Engaged*
Driving a stiff charge of phantom-light power into the arrow, she fired. The feathered missile streaked up on a perfect stabilized ballistic trajectory, and hit the demonic crow dead-on.
*BLAM!!*
The carrion-crow's body went explodie!
"YES!!" crowed Kagome. (Ugh, that was bad!)
