Chapter 7:

The dragon stared at the troop but it didn't stop there. He snorted and a huge fireball came out of his mouth straight at Inuyasha and the others. Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo quickly ran to the side. Whereas Inuyasha and Kinako preferred to dodge the attack with a jump. "Hey witch, we should attack the creature together," Inuyasha shouted to Kinako as they steered back to the ground. "Stop calling me a witch, I'm not a" came from her. "Okay, we'd better forget that for now and get together because you're pretty strong," he said without arguing, which didn't happen that often. Kinako agreed to the proposal. "But only if you call me Kinako" she objected as a condition. Inuyasha nodded to her. They both jumped towards the kite without consulting them. With a kick they placed on the chin of the dragon, which had just thrown its head back to throw a ball of fire at them, they knocked the dragon over.The dragon had to fire its bullet and hurled it skyward. The dragon fell to the ground and Inuyasha and Kinako landed gracefully on the ground. But they knew that it would not be enough. But first he was out of action because he had great difficulty getting back on his feet. They seized the opportunity and ran to their friends to check on them. Fortunately, however, everyone was fine. They had to pay their attention to the beasts. It had straightened up again. Sango grabbed her Hirokatsu and threw it at the dragons. But he took his wing and flung it out of the way. Inuyasha pulled Tessaiga and ran towards the oversized dragon with the transformed sword. "Be careful, Inuyasha!" Kagome Inuyasha called out that she saw that the dragon was about to attack its tail. "He has a poisonous claw at the end of his tail," Kinako said that everyone could hear it, but not to them but to themselves. They looked at her in amazement.How did she know? Inuyasha was now paying attention to Kagome who had shouted to him as to the dragon. The dragon dug its venomous claw at the end of its tail into Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha fell to the ground and Tessaiga was thrown far away from him. Inuyasha quickly got back to the pain that was throbbing in his chest, ignoring the quick access to his sword. Only then could he defeat the dragon. But he didn't notice that the dragon had turned to his friends. He gathered fire in his mouth and threw it at Kagome, Kinako, Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Inuyasha could only look there in shock. It was too late he couldn't stop the fireball. The others also noticed that it was over now. Kinako, on the other hand, could do something. ° I have to do something I can't keep it a secret anymore ° Kinako stood in front of her friends what her new friends didn't quite understand. She couldn't stop him with that either. But she could. Kinako raised her hands defensively and clenched her fists and quickly opened them again.When she did that, the others were amazed.

The fireball had stopped just ten meters in front of them. He didn't move an inch. "Kinako-chan how?" Kagome said, confused. "I'll explain everything to you later," Kinako said. Now she pulled her arms back a little and pushed them firmly forward again. The fireball suddenly flew in the opposite direction towards the dragon and the fire spread rapidly to his body. Inuyasha, who was now holding Tessaiga in his hands, ended the train. He jumped in the air and swung his sword to carry out his attack. "KAZE NO KIZU" shouted Inuyasha and with this powerful attack the dragon was destroyed by Kinako's preparatory work.



Now the residents, led by Kaede, came back from a cave near the village. "Ah, you've got yourself to a safe place in a cave," said Miroku in the direction of Kaede."Yes, that's exactly how it was," answered Kaede and looked around. Then her gaze fell on Kinako. “Well, who is that?” The girl answered her kindly. "I'm Kinako Hazanka. I'm happy to get to know you." Inuyasha now interfered and looked arrogantly at Kinako. Kagome remembered, "How could you do that?" Kinako was slowly being cornered. Kaede didn't even know what it was about. "It would be best if we go to my hut and you will tell me everything" as a sign of approval she received a nod from everyone. Fortunately, the perimeter of her hut wasn't too badly damaged. The residents went to work to rebuild everything. While the group sat in Kaede's hut and told her the story where she was not present. When they were done, Kaede was particularly interested in the place where Kinako had stopped the fireball and hurled it back."How could you do something like that, kid?" Kinako was asked. Everyone looked at her asking to answer except Inuyasha. "Admit it, you are what I think you are!" Inuyasha said cheekily to Kinako. Kinako sighed "He's right. I'm a witch" Everyone looked at her in shock, except Inuyasha just grinned at her thoughtfully. This demon is weird, somehow he's so human. And how does he know that I'm a witch? ° "Why do you never hate telling me that you are a witch Kinako-chan?" Kagome wanted to know from her friend. "Because you would never have believed me and you could also have told me that you were traveling to the Middle Ages and you didn't tell me that either," Kinako countered. "That sounds way too crazy. You would have believed I had a loose screw," Kagome defended himself. "Crazy? Come to my house then you know what's crazy" "Um, I don't want to interrupt you but Inuyasha wasn't caught by this poisonous claw" said Miroku and ended the little argument between the two girls."Oh God, yes, I should take care of the wound right away," Kagome said to Inuyasha, but he waved it off. "No, I don't mind that" Kinako disagreed. "We should really take care of them. That was a black thorn dragon. They produce a pretty powerful poison that can even kill full-fledged demons." were all taught by Kinako. "If we don't give you the antidote in the near future, the poison will paralyze your blood circulation." Kagome could only be amazed, just like the others. "And what is the antidote, Kinako-chan?" asked Kagome. "I just need jasmine, valerian and some lemon juice, I'll do the rest" Kaede had all of this available and gave it to Kinako who turned it into a potion. "Tell me Kinako-chan how do you know all that?" asked Kagome. "You witches must know something like that," Inuyasha said, bored. He seemed a bit sleepy, which was probably caused by the poison. "Um, yes. We really need to know about it.Oh, what I've been wondering the whole time, how did you know that I was a witch? "She asked the Hanyou. He looked over at her." Quite simply, they smell very strongly of magic. That could only mean that you are "Kinako wasn't particularly surprised." Aha, good nose, good hearing, let me guess a dog demon right? "He nodded to her." Well, I'm done now. Show your wound! "Inuyasha obeyed her because he slowly felt how the poison worked. Kinako only took some of the potion and put it on the wound." You have to drink the rest! "Inuyasha took it skeptically and smelled it first." Don't worry, it doesn't even taste that bad, "she said to him. He reluctantly drank it. It really didn't taste that bad." So satisfied. "Kinako nodded to Inuyasha." So I think we should make ourselves a bit useful outside, "said Sango. Everyone except Kaede left the hut. They all helped a little with the construction of the village. They also made pretty quick progress.Then they all sat down by the river.



Kinako sat a little apart. She was fiddling with something. It was an amulet that she usually always hid under her things. It was a blue crystal with a symbol worked into it. Shippo went to Kinako to ask her if she would like to sit down with them, but another question was asked when he saw her follower. "Hey, that's the same symbol as on the stranger's amulet. Where did you get that from?" Kinako was startled and quickly tucked it back under her shirt. The others turned around. They became aware of where Kagome looked at everyone questioningly. “Which stranger?” Sango took on the task of telling the story about the stranger. Kinako had already sat down to do so. "What is strange is that this symbol is used very rarely and only a few items have this symbol, so why do you have it?" Inuyasha asked the young witch. "Because it was assigned to me.I am one of the chosen ones and have to fulfill my mission that my predecessor could not do, "she replied, somewhat embarrassed." Aha and what is the task of your mission? "Asked Kagome again. Kinako replied" Well, constantly killing demons, rescuing those under protection killing the origin "" What exactly is the origin? "asked Miroku." The origin of all evil. It's been around for ages. It is he who constantly incites demons on me. For the most part, at least. With the help of the book of light he wants to conjure up all power and subjugate the world "" The book of light? "Asked Sango. Kinako nodded" Yes, the book of light contains, among other things, how I can fight demons and a lot interesting facts about demons. And also how one manages to take over the world domination "" So you are the missionary of the light of the three elect "Inuyasha threw in. Kinako nodded to him. ° He knows a lot about it.Too much when pressured that he is a demon ° she thought and kept an eye on Inuyasha. She was interrupted by their conversation when Kaede joined them. "Sorry for bothering you. But someone just arrived who wants to speak to Inuyasha." Everyone looked at her in astonishment and followed her back to the village.

Once there, Miroku, Sango and Shippo recognized the stranger. "You're the guy who asked about Inuyasha and gave us the amulet," Shippo burst out. This one smiled. "Oh that's nice that you remember" "And now let's talk about who you are and why did you give them the amulet with this symbol. What is it supposed to mean?" Inuyasha yelled at the strangers. “But Inuyasha don't you recognize me?” He took the
