Running To Stand Still: The hidden ones
Episode 5
Inuyasha draws the Tetsusaiga and stands over Kagome and Shippo. His attention is focused on anyone approaching the two. After a moment he picks his foe. This one is heading straight toward the two and he moves to intercept. As he draws near, the black figure throws a smoke bomb. Jumping clear, Inuyasha gets just enough of a whiff to know that a small amount of that stuff getting to his delicate nose will put him out of the fight. Clearly knowing this as well, his opponent throws another and another. Inuyasha jumps clear holding his breath and turns to face the ninja. He is standing over Kagome and Shippo holding a long knife. Pulling his mask aside, the ninja reveals hi�her face. She shouts, �Drop your weapons or the girl dies! I have two squads on standby; there is no escape.�
