The Eternal Curse

Chapter Seven:

Weapons, Embarrassing Losses, and Jealousy?

A/N:HAPPY THANKSGIVING! My family is coming over so I thought I'd rush and cram in a chapter before that happens.

Disclaimer:The usual. Me no own. So you no sue.

"I wonder how long this'll last," Miroku comments lazily.

"Oh no! They're at it again!" Sango moaned, but sat next to him to watch the big show. Inuyasha and Kagome were engrossed in another pointless fight and it seemed as if she was winning.

"IDIOT!" Their fights always started with that.

"WENCH!" Ended with that.

"BAKA!"

"BITCH!" And then they tacked on some new lines at the end.

"YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO MEAN!"

"WELL YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO SENSITIVE!"

"SHUT UP!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"WHY?"

"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU SO!"

"Now, I know you guys like to spend as much time as you can together," Miroku interrupted, grinning. "But we really must get on with the tasks. We have already participated in education and stealth, and the stats so far are that we are all tied. We now must participate in the weapons challenge. Gather your weapons, whether they be arrows, swords, anything. Then we will compete at our skill. Now let's break and we will gather at Kagome-sama's training grounds."

"Kagome…sama?" she wondered as she trotted off.

***

She grinned when she saw Sango appear with her Hiraikotsu, a giant boomerang made of the bones of youkai. She used to use it regularly, before she became part of the palace, though she still practiced. Kagome had equipped herself with a bow and arrow. She was nervous. Kikyo was the one who could outshoot their troops that went into battle, Kagome was the one who had almost killed a nearby deer because of her skills. She heard footsteps. She turned to see Miroku come out with a golden staff and Inuyasha at his side with a large sword.

"Hmm…Sango, nice boomerang. What's it called?"

"Hiraikotsu."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called. "That sword sucks. What do you call it!"

"Azure Mist and it's gonna whoop your ass!"

"NANI?"

"WELL YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOOT!"

"CAN TO!"

"CAN NOOOOOOT!"

"CAN TOOOOOOO INFINITY!"

"GUYS!" Sango yelled. "Break it up! Let's just get these challenges over with. Okay, Miroku, now explain the rules." The monk cleared his throat.

"We were originally just going to show off her skills, but we thought head to head combat would be much more interesting. So, just try to disarm your opponent, and if you do, you receive ten more points to your score."

"Alright, houshi, me and you first, okay?" Sango asked with a dangerous grin. Kagome gulped. She was a very skilled warrior, she was a Slayer before she first came to the palace!

"As you wish, Sango-chan."

"Sango-chan!" she screeched, blushing.

"Now, let's begin. Remember, disarm only! I don't feel like having my head taken off!"

Miroku made a stab at her with his staff and she dodged, twirling her boomerang over her and threw it aiming at him. He whimpered, before his weapon was easily knocked from his grasp and Hiraikotsu obediently returned to its master. Miroku immediately blushed, for being beaten so easily by a girl.

"Looks like I win!" she said, slapping Kagome a high five.

"Man," Inuyasha whispered in his ear. "You suck."

"Hey! You're supposed to be helping me!" he whined.

"Sorry, but I just gotta beat her little prissy ass before I'm done!"

Inuyasha whipped his blade expertly from its sheathe. Kagome gulped and steadied her shaking bow. How am I supposed to beat him! I mean, I thought he was just all talk, but this guy looks like a REAL warrior! She swallowed again, and slipped an arrow from her quiver. Just aim at his hands. If it just slices him, maybe he'll drop it! Smiling, regaining some of her composure, she let her arrow fly. But, sadly, it just scraped the ground and arrived uselessly at his feet.

"Huh? Omigod, and I actually thought I should have been to be worried!" he laughed sarcastically.

"What! Lemme try again!" She knocked in another arrow. Okay, just aim a little higher. C'mon, I just gotta win this, if not, Inuyasha will be beating me! Another boost for his already swelling ego. Kagome released her arrow and he dodged it, for it was aimed at his thighs.

"Now it's my turn! This is over." He targeted at her, then tossed it. Whimpering, she put the bow up in front her face, closing her eyes, but then there was the sickening crack of wood as she felt the blade slice her cheek and the blade clattered against the packed dirt. She let go of her ruined bow, and her hand instantly reached for her face, tears welling up in her eyes. He obviously didn't notice, or maybe he did and didn't care, because he turned and started talking animatedly to Sango.

She felt something rip at her heart. Hey he struck her and she was bleeding! He had to know, with that good nose of his. But no, he just grinned at her, turning to talk with her best friend. She felt a twinge of shame and was it…no…it couldn't be…jealousy? NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOO! I'M NOT JEALOUS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I mean, I guess I'm just hurt cause he doesn't even care that he hit me and I'm beginning to bleed really badly. This cut is deep. Or maybe it's cause it's kinda fun arguing wit him…NO! NO! NO! NOO! Shouldn't he apologize or at least acknowledge the fact that she was hurt and it was his fault? But no, he just smirked and turned his back towards her.

Suddenly, her cheek gave a painful lurch and more tears rimmed her eyes.

"I gotta go," she said in a voice, sounding like a choked sob, as she ran from the training arena.

"You jerk!" Sango screeched. "Didn't you see Kagome? She bleeding!"

"What?"

"Shut up!" she growled, and ran to race off after her friend.

"Oh man. If you didn't see it atleast you could of smelt it!" Miroku said, eyes narrowing. "I know you knew. You've ultimately reached a new low."

"Yeah…but-"

"You disgust me!" Miroku growled, shaking his head. "Sango! Wait up Sango!" He ran after her.

"WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled after him. "Now that bitch is gonna cry all day long. Geez, what did I do now?"

Nothing really to say besides…REVIEW! Aloha.
