- wait, is he just gonna jump into the net??

"Wait, what about the - "

The net? The net is what they ram at superjump speeds!

Inuyasha will attempt to bounce off of it back to the bottom of the well, apparently on instinct, but it's going to do its best to entangle him so he can't escape. Let's see who wins!

" - trap."

Kagome is still kind of unclear on whether he did this on purpose for some reason, and is mostly going to cling right now.

"Where?" he says, struggling. "What does it look like?"

"Like a net, or a bunch of black spiderwebs, strung across the entrance!" Can't he see it?

One of the hairs he throws off swings wildly and hits her. It doesn't draw much blood, but the pain and the surprise that it draws blood at all are enough that she draws in a hiss.

"There's nothing there -"

Yeah OK no it isn't allowed to hurt Kikyo Not Kikyo.

He drops her and does an exceedingly methodical job of shredding whatever's covering the entrance to the pit, then catches her before she hits bottom.

- gosh.

(He's really pretty cool sometimes, isn't he?)

"You got it, it's gone now!"

"Great!"

Superjump out: Mark Two.

They are completely surrounded by Evil Magic Hair Web. On all sides. Strands lead off into the distance, but whoever's responsible still hasn't appeared.

" - okay, tell me you can see it now?"

"Nope. Which way do I dodge?"

"It's everywhere." She scans the web, looking for a way out. "Strands of hair on all sides, including above. I think you'll have to cut through them."

"Well, get aboard," he says, presenting her with his back. "Because -"

"That's fine with me!"

SUPERJUMP! (once she's aboard) WITH CLAWS!

She hops on and clings!

Upsides: Inuyasha can in fact get them past being Completely Surrounded, even with the disadvantage of needing to carry Kagome.

Downside: There's a lot of hair and it is now chasing him!

He's going to drop her and then get back to work slashing vaguely wherever she points while dodging very fast in essentially random directions.

The strands of hair don't move quite on their own; they move when something pulls on them, a strand from further back in the web. Is it all one strand? There's so much of it that it seems like it can't be, but if she follows the movement back, back, back -

"Over there! There's one strand that's controlling the others!"

- but it's moving, still, it'll be in a different place by the time he reaches it -

Inuyasha lunges.

And misses.

He's fast. If anything he's getting faster; once she's down (and the hair is chasing him - it isn't reading her as a threat at all) - all his restraints are down, and whatever he does he can throw himself into wholeheartedly. No human could match his speed, no human could match his power, and his claws do not seem restricted to only cutting what they touch - he can leap, strike, dance away before the flood reaches him, striking and dodging with gleeful fury - 

But it isn't enough. He can't see; nothing is where she said it was three seconds ago. He can't tell which way to dodge, and he's wrong by chance as often as he's right. The strands of hair he cuts remain cut, but the masses are massive, and they can just reform and strike again. And they can tell where he is. Individual strands whipping across his skin to raise welts, masses grappling him until he tears them away - it's only a matter of time until exhaustion or blood loss ends the battle, and that's if it doesn't manage to succeed, as it is trying, to wrap a cord around his neck and strangle him to death.

This is not a battle he's going to win. There are strings, in the background; they all lead off in different distant directions, but only one is coordinating the great mass attacking Inuyasha. But it isn't standing still, instead jerking and twisting as the mass moves, and as long as he's fighting blind there's nothing he can do about it.

However long it takes, the puppetmaster is going to win this battle.

Only if he keeps fighting the puppet. He only needs to cut across one specific strand, to make it out of this. She's sure of it. But the strand keeps moving, too fast for her verbal instructions to matter. If there were something to hold it still -

- well, she's something, isn't she?

Kagome charges. Even with the hair not chasing her, there's enough of it flying around that charging through it leaves cuts on her clothes and her skin, but she manages to stay her course. She grabs the controlling strand with both hands, hissing in pain again as it cuts into her hands like a razor. A few drops of blood begin running down it, and if he can see those -

"Here! Cut here!"

"I see it!"

And Inuyasha drops out of the sky and with one claw severs the strand.

The hair around them collapses, which he does not see, so instead he grabs Kagome and immediately leaps off again.

She did it!! They did it! - only a part of it, but still!

"Where now? Check on the village, or find the demon?"

"Whatever's happening at the village, it'll be done once we kill whatever's responsible!"

Also: Her hands are bleeding. So's her skin, where the hair hit her.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE if his only source of see-the-invisible dies in the fight it would be a major problem.

So he'll pull off his robe and drop it on her.

"It's the fur of a fire rat. So you don't cut yourself again."

She takes a second to realize that he's giving it to her.

"It'll stop the hair?" It indeed doesn't seem to have any cuts in it, and neither do the clothes that were previously covered by it.
