InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Friends for 'Never' - Part One - The Battle Commences ( Chapter 30 )

Inuyasha, Sango and a fearful Shippo stared into the eyes of their challengers, their very own friends. They felt confused, part of them knew they were enemies, but the other part knew that they were still friends.

"M-Miroku! W-what's wrong with y-you?" stuttered Shippo.

Miroku stepped forward from the group and stared at Shippo across from him standing on the snowy grounds. He smiled, mockingly, at Shippo and picked up some snow from the ground. He threw it at the little fox demon and Shippo fell backwards onto the snow and began to cry.

"I should've known he'd cry... that's all he does!" laughed Miroku.

"Why you..." Inuyasha readied his sword and then ran to Miroku.

He swung the blade but Miroku stopped him- with his hands. He held out his hands and using some sort of dark magic grabbed the sword with out touching it, telopathically. The sword hovered in the air and pointed at Miroku for a second. But then, Miroku made a casting movement with his hand and the Daisuke flipped over and stabbed Inuyasha. Blood shot from his shoulder and he fell to the ground in some pain, but didn't want to show it. Miroku brought the sword to him and then looked at it as it hovered.

"Pity... the 'great' Inuyasha shouldn't be using such a piece of rubbish..." Miroku snapped his fingers and the sword cracked into little pieces... and then vanished in midair.

"Daisuke! Damn you Miroku!" said Inuyasha. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" yelled Inuyasha as he lunged at Miroku. Miroku, however, used his mind to throw a big pile of snow onto Inuyasha, burying him.

"Miroku," said Sesshomaru as he stepped forward. "I shall be the one to kill Inuyasha."

Miroku nodded. "Very well..." he looked at Sango. "Hehe..." Miroku looked to Ayame, Koga and Kohaku and then to Sango. The four of them advanced on her, meanwhile Sesshomaru stood watching the pile of snow that buried his brother.

Koga was the first to attack. He jumped at her and tried to slide tackle her. Luckily, Sango dodged him and jumped right over him. Unfortunately, Kohaku rapped his chain around Sango's feet and pulled them out from her when she landed, thus, she fell flat onto the ground. He laughed at her.

"Kohaku...." said Sango weekly as she looked up of the ground. Ayame ran to her and kicked her on the ground, sending her rolling over to Koga. Koga unsheathed his katana and took a stab at her. Sango moved out of the way of the first attack and then used her katana to block a second one from Koga. Sango quickly got to her feet and began sparring with Koga, a few kicks and swift punches now and then, but both continued with a very interesting fight. Soon, Ayame joined the fight and Sango found herself fighting two wolf demons.

"Kohaku, you haven't attacked yet. Do so or I'll kill you for disobeying," said Miroku as he stood with Kohaku.

Kohaku nodded. "Yes, Miroku. But why have you not attacked her?"

"Hehe, I shall be the one to kill her...." said Miroku cooly.

"Very well, but you really do take the fun out of things..." said Kohaku jokingly as he readied his blades. He ran to the sparring match between Ayame and Koga and Sango. Soon, Sango found herself dodging kicks, punches, swords and chains... she was tiring.

As Sesshomaru glanced out of the side of his eyes to watch Sango's unfortunate fight and Miroku's evil chortles, he decided it was time for him to kill Inuyasha.

He unsheated Katsukatana and took swipes at the snow mound burying Inuyasha. He expected to see the snow turn red, but strangely there was nothing. Suddenly, the snow beneath him moved. Inuyasha sprang from under the snow and upwards into a fighting position. Sesshomaru jumped backwards to avoid him. Inuyasha tackled Sesshomaru and ran right over him, heading towards the dam. Tokijin was still stuck in the base of the dam and Inuyasha needed it to fight Sesshomaru and help Sango. Little did Inuyasha know, the Tokijin had struck a very important part of the dam vital to keeping it stable...

Inuyasha grabbed Tokijin out of the wooden dam and a little spurt of water shot out of it. No sooner than Inuyasha did this, he realized Sesshomaru was right next to him, ready to strike. Katsukatana and Tokijin met in a very hard strike, which let off a sound that echoed across the battle sight. Inuyasha took another swipe at Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru jumped nearly one hundred feet into the air on top of the dam.

Inuyasha glared at him and gave off an angry 'grr.' He jumped used the sides of the dam as leverage to get on top of the dam, listening carefully to the fight Sango was currently in. He and Sesshomaru were standing on the very slim dam breast staring each other down. On one side of the dam was a one hundred foot drop, the other was water that reflected the eerie red sky and was already bearing ice patches from the immense cold any of the fighters were too busy to notice.

Sesshomaru swung Katsukatana... but not at Inuyasha. Instead he hit the dam.

"Heh! I'm over here you idiot!" said Inuyasha mockingly.

"I wasn't aiming for you Inuyasha," said Sesshomaru.

Suddenly, the dam began to crack and move and sway. Sesshomaru jumped off of the dam breast onto the land on the other side of the dam. Inuyasha mirrored Sesshomaru and just in time. The dam burst and began draining onto the valley...

...where Sango was currently dealing with her own problems.
