***Kaede was taken aback when the woman suddenly lunged at her with a knife. She had been expecting a report on the woman's health, not an attack. Kaede stumbled back, losing her balance and falling onto the hard floor.
The women, now possessed by a demonic spirit, let out a guttural growl and advanced on Kaede, knife raised high.
Kaede scrambled back, her heart racing as she tried to think of a way to defend herself. But just as the possessed woman was about to bring the knife down, a sharp, clawed arm intercepted her wrist, stopping the attack in its tracks. The woman struggled and squirmed, but the clawed hand held her tightly, preventing her from moving an inch.

Kagome hurried towards the bone-eater's well, relief flooding through her as she saw it come into view. It was still standing there, just as it had been in her time. This was her ticket home.
Grinning, Kagome approached the well and ran her hand over the bumpy surface, feeling a mixture of nostalgia and excitement.
Kagome was ready to go home, to re-join her family and her old life again. But a part of her hesitated, nagging thoughts of Inuyasha swirling in her mind.
Kagome's eyes widened in horror as she peered into the well. Instead of the dark void that usually led back to her time, she saw a sea of writhing creatures, their twisted forms shifting and moving within the depths of the well.
"What on earth...?" Kagome whispered, her heart hammering in her chest.
"This...this can't be right." Kagome said.
Kagome was tempted to reach in and touch one of the creatures, but something told her that would be a really bad idea.
Kagome was still staring into the depths of the well, her mind racing, when something caught her eye.
Kagome looked up and spotted several strands of hair dancing through the air, almost as if they were being blown by an unseen force. Following the direction of the hair, her eyes fell upon a figure standing nearby.
It was a woman, with medium length, straight hair that was almost unnaturally long. She was a young woman's in attractive-looking clothes and held several fans in her hands.
Kagome had a feeling this was Yura, the woman Kaede had warned her about.
Kagome stood there, unsure whether to approach or to run. Yura's presence was intimidating, and something about her gave Kagome the creeps.
Kagome's hand instinctively went to her chest where the bag containing the jewel shard was tucked away. She stared at Yura, her heart racing in her chest.
"Girl, give me the Jewel Shard!" Yura demanded.
"The jewel shard?" She repeated, backing away. "Why...why do you want it?" Kagome asks.
Yura's eyes narrowed, a sly smile crossing her lips. She took a step closer, her voice smooth and dangerous.
"Why, that's a rather simple question, isn't it?" Yura purred.
