Even Better Than The Real Thing: The First of the New
Episode 2
After ten minutes of pointless blindness, Kagura summons all of her strength into a dance of the dragon. Their smokescreen gone, the puppets begin to fallback. Using a single windscar, Inuyasha blows them all to shreds. With the threat eliminated, the group reunites. �Is everyone ok?� Kagome asks. The others nod, but Sango and Kagura are looking around in concern. �Where�s Kohaku?� the slayer asks. Inuyasha begins to sniff the air. �Damn it all!� he shouts. �That fog messed with the scents. Now everything smells like Naraku.� Kagome says, �Well...� She pauses in thought. Miroku asks, �What is it Kagome, did you sense something?� She says, �It was weak, but I thought I sensed a sacred jewel shard earlier. I don�t feel it any more, but I think it went somewhere over there.� Inuyasha asks, �Think you could be less specific?� Kagome says, �I�m sorry, I got turned around in the fog. I�m pretty sure it was in there.� As she talks, she gives a sweeping gesture including a third of the horizon. The monk says, �We need to split up to search. Kagome, take Shippo and go with Inuyasha. Sango, you�ll move fastest with just you and Kirara. I shall travel with Kagura.� There are general nods of assent; however, Kagura is not pleased.
