Prologue
The Battle
The young miko sighed heavily as her arrow once again missed it's target. She took aim once again, before realizing that Kagura was thrusting wind blades in her direction. She ran with the agility she gained from constant battles, as a wind blade came towards her, one she knew she could not dodge. She screamed as it neared, and closed her eyes, when she felt herself being lifted in the air and safely away.
"InuYasha?" She said relieved. He merely snorted, before setting her back down softly.
"Be careful ok? And try not to get in the way." She nodded and they both dodged as another blade towards them.
"Foolish hanyou. Why do you not fight me? Forget about the foolinsh human! Or maybe I will get a better fight if I dispose of her." She said, hiding her smile behind her wind fan. InuYasha hissed as he stood in his fighting stance.
"You touch a hair on Kagome's head, and I'll-"
"Dance of the Dragon!" Kagura yelled as InuYasha jumped towards her. Dodging her attacks, he tried to attack at her from an angle, but she predicted his move, and easily countered.
InuYasha was thrown back, and his feet slid on the land as he slid backwards.
"I see your slacking InuYasha! Fight me! You have to be worthy to even see my master!" She grimaced at the last word, but it went unnoticed. Kagura threw more blades at him, this time hitting it's target. He fell to one knee, and looked at the deep wound that was sure to keep him out for a month. Kagura, smelling his blood and panic, smiled.
"Now's my chance!" She hissed as she prepared her fan. She waved her fan, sending a huge blade towards InuYasha. InuYasha heard a shriek, and looked up to see Kagome with her arms held protectively out in front of him. His eyes widened with shock as she fell to the ground.
"Your no fun." Kagura sneered as she threw her feather in the air.
She hopped on it once it transformed.
"InuYasha, let nothing get in your way in a battle against another youkai. Not even an unclaimed wench." And with that, she floated off.
