InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Training ❯ Showdown ( Chapter 5 )

Hey, I'm really really sorry that I haven't posted in so long. Schoolwork is piling up (end of yr), then the comp crashed, and to top it all off, karate is taking its toll on me (we have an instructor from another school training a few of us for our black belts/tomoe test). Anyway, here is the next chapter. And btw: in the first chapter I said that Inu destroyed the well…overlook that. I'll go back and fix it when I get a chance.

Chapter 5: Showdown

"Kagome! Cut it out!" I yelled at her. "But I almost have it."

"You said that 5 trees ago. You're going to destroy my forest!" She was trying a new spell that wasn't working. It was destroying the trees around her though.

"Hey, are you going to kill Inuyasha?"

"Wasn't planning on it. Killing his mate ought to make him fall apart, he wouldn't be a good opponent."

"I know of something that will break him even more."

"What's your plan?"

*********

"Let's go get them back," Kagome said with enough malice to almost scare me. Almost being the key word.

"Yes let's." I responded as I grabbed her and went airborne on my `cloud' (what IS that thing?)

"Don't do that!" Kagome screeched at me.

Kagome's POV

"He flung me into the air before catching me on his cloud." I screeched at him so loudly that my ears rang so I knew his were hurting. He didn't wince though but what he did do was chuckle.

`OMG! Is the Ice Prince LAUGHING at me!' I thought hotly as I asked him just that. He gave me a look that very much said `who me?' I couldn't help it; I busted out laughing at that face. Well Sesshoumaru didn't like that very much…so he dropped me. Wouldn't have been so bad if we weren't 500 yards or so in the air. I got to about 3 yards above the ground when he FINALLY decided to catch me. I fried the shit out of him (not purifying; kind of like when Pikachu fries Ash). He fell to the ground twitching. `Heh…that was kind of fun…but he's going to kill me…Oh well.' "Serves you right" I muttered as I helped him back onto his feet. He just growled at me. I looked at his face only to see red eyes. "Now Sesshou, I didn't hurt you and you know it so get over it and let's go get Shippo and Rin." With the mention of his daughter he visibly relaxed. He jerked me back into the air and we continued on.

After about 10-15 minutes of flying, we touched back down on a hill overlooking Keade's village. "They will be here momentarily." Sesshoumaru stated from behind me. I schooled my face into an emotionless mask to rival his own and waited. I didn't have to wait long. I watched the red, white, and black blur as it ran a beeline toward us.

"Where are they?" I demanded as soon as they stopped running. "They are being taken care of as we speak." Inuyasha responded in a hollow voice. My eyes narrowed as the reason dawned on me.

"So Kikyo, you couldn't handle him." "And I see that you've traded one dog for another," she shot back.

"Better to be after him than the whoever you name as mate of the week. Who is it this week, Naraku?"

"I'm surprised you're still living. The thought losing Inuyasha would have killed you, my pathetic reincarnation."

"He is not worth my life."

"Are we just going to stand here all day and listen to you two toss insults at each other or are we going to battle?" I heard Sesshoumaru say from somewhere behind me.

"Battle of course," I responded as I drew my sword and rushed Kikyo. `Have you found the children?' I mentally asked Sesshoumaru as I continued to slice and dice Kikyo.

`Yes but their ki is fading fast.'

`Fading?'

`Yes. It seems these two poisoned them.'

`Shit'

I began to fight harder, making my powers flow through my sword. Kikyo was wearing down. "What's the matter Kikyo? Tired already?" I taunted, "Too bad your soul stealers can't reach you. NOT!" I charged once more, my sword glowing a strong blue. I stopped my sword right at her neck. "Bye bye bitch," I said as I cut through her neck. She crumbled into a pile of ash.

I glanced over at Inuyasha as sheathed my sword; he jolted as if awakening from a bad dream. "Kagome? Where are we? And why do I smell Kikyo and Sesshoumaru?"

"We are just outside Keade's village. You smell Kikyo because I just killed her and you smell your brother because he's right behind you." He didn't hear that last part.

"YOU KILLED KIKYO?!"

"Yes I did. She was using you as a puppet and she kidnapped my pups."

"Bitch! Wait a minute…Pups? As in plural?"

"Yes." Now he finally realizes Sesshoumaru is here. "Kagome! Get behind me! Sesshoumaru is here!"

"Noooo…Really? I'd have never guessed." I said as I walked toward Sesshou.

"What the hell are you doing?" He screamed at me as he runs and tries to intercept me. Or at least he tried. Sesshoumaru had him pinned to a tree before he touched me.

"Let him go Sesshoumaru. Let's go get the children." I said as I laid my hand on his shoulder. He dropped Inuyasha and wrapped both arms around me. "As you wish," he said as he ran toward the village, leaving a cloud of dust and a stuttering Inuyasha in our wake.
