Terror of the Ancient Noh Mask [Page 5/7]

Upon a midnight dark and dreary Noh-noh slid
 through Tokyo town.
Grampa stirs from his sleep:
Mask of flesh... watch out!

Right into the Higurashi shrine!

Egad...



Swiftly speeds forth the ladder...






Kagome is so calm in situations like this!:Noh-mask?
The one Grampa was talking about before...
Ah!
Noh-noh reaches for the shards!
But the jar rolls down
and Noh-noh reaches for it.But!

Kagome urges Souta out.
 He's frozen!
But that doesn't stop our girl:
We have to run!
Inuyasha... I have to call Inuyasha!




Sis! Blood... blood's on your hand!

Kagome:
Don't cry! It's just a little glass cut!
And the ladder rotates...


... atop shines Noh-noh ...


Whose shadow looms
ever closer...
They jump away!
WHAP!!

Kagome:
A Shikon shard in its forehead... That's why
 it wants these shards.
Souta'll be safer if I get away from him.

Souta! Run to the well and bring Inuyasha!

Tell him there's a Shikon shard and he'll happily run here!
Poor kid:
Eh? By myself?!
Kagome insists:
Got it? Hurry!

And she leads off Noh-noh.
Souta runs to the well:
It connects to the feudal age. Just jump in.
Let's go, Buyo!
He alone goes in screaming.
That Buyo...
Fwump! Oww...It's not opening!
Aaah, why not?!
Safe atop, Mr Kitty Paws.. ...licks his kitty paws.
Please, open up! If not...
Sis.. Sis is gonna die!
And so Fate relents
and
Pup Ears
comes through.
Inu no oniichan!
Our boy:
What's wrong?
Sounds like you have
some trouble.
