Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Inu Yasha, but I do own Ninoka.
Also, special thanks to my English teacher for just letting have writing
time in class for me to come up with such a story. Thankies Ms. G.!

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome called out as her arrow disarmed the Tetsusaiga's transformation. "Surrender now or the next arrow goes into your heart!"
As Sesshomaru stared at the reincarnated priestess, an eagle carrying a demon with a fox's tail and ears on its back flew down next to him. "Let me take care of this Sesshomaru. She is a weakling compared to you." Ninoka said to him.
"Fine. That leaves my dimwit of a half – demon brother to me." Was his reply.
Ninoka jumped off of her eagle from 20 feet in the air and landed with an in – humanely grace on the ground. "Ok Kagome. It's just you and me." She said with a glint of enjoyment in her eyes. "Dark Lightning Strike!"
A dark force field appeared around the girl and quickly gathered into a small ball into her hand. It soon expanded and she threw it up into the air and the black ball turned into black icicles. Each ice spike glowed a dark purple as they quickly gained speed as they approached the girl with the long black hair.
There was soon an explosion on the cliff where the girl was standing and a large flash of black and purple light. Sensing that she hadn't destroyed her target, Ninoka used her speed to chase after the girl who tried to get away. There was a pause in the girl's running and Ninoka could sense that through all the dust. As she stood there, waiting for the girl to be on the run again, she sensed something had been released. Quickly remembering Kagome had arrows, she jumped up and did a back flip in order to just barely miss the arrow from even harming her. As she landed, she felt a slight sting on her left shoulder.
She looked down and saw that the other girl had fired another arrow right after the other one and it had struck her. The second arrow also sliced through her sleeve and just the top layer of her skin, where a trickle of blood had slowly started to run. "B!TC#!" she called out, "THAT'S MY FAVORITE SHIRT!" With the anger raging in her, she started to chase after the girl again, at top speed this time, no longer playing games.
Once she sensed the girl running again, she used this time to check to see how Sesshomaru was doing in his battle against InuYasha. It looked as though he was winning, so she took out one of her throwing stars and concentrated on her target.
Taking aim, she threw it towards a small tree in which she sensed the frightened girl was hiding behind. As it hit it's target, it cut the tree in half. "Come out little one..." She said through gritted teeth, "I'm not going to hurt you, just kill you."
As those words came out of her mouth, she saw the girl in the mini school skirt come out from behind the half cut tree. "Ahh... there's my little sacrifice..." she said with a smirk. "Ready to die?" she asked.
"Not just yet." Kagome said before taking another arrow and firing it at Ninoka. Ninoka swiftly took out her long sword and used it to cut the flying weapon in half. She closed her eyes and charged at Kagome. Looking up and seeing she had three more arrows and were about to fire them, she placed her sword in front of her. As Kagome fired each one, Ninoka easily dodged the first one, cut the second, and dodged the third one. She kept on running and ran past Kagome, just slightly slicing the girl's neck.
She soon stopped about a couple of feet behind the girl, turned around, and took her sword and hugged it around Kagome's neck. "See..." she whispered, "It hurts doesn't it?"
Kagome let out a loud cry and Ninoka continued on whispering into her ear. "I know you like that half – breed Inu Yasha. You're just too scared to admit it. And for your info as well, he likes you too. If I were you, I'd go save him. As for me, I'll give my life to your hands. I've lived for years now and I haven't found anyone to love me yet, so I've given up. I will surrender if you will destroy my materialistic form. Deal?"
Realizing that the girl had stopped struggling and actually listened, she waited for a response. She soon heard, "I can't take your life..."
Angered by her response, Ninoka tightened the hold on her sword around Kagome's neck so that the blade was slowly cutting through the skin. "Like I've said, I've lived long and have done this so many times, I'm not afraid to do it to you. I've lived long and have wondered what my purpose is. I've come up with nothing, either kill me, or your life is over."
Suddenly, Ninoka felt a sharp pain in her foot and she released Kagome from her death hold. She stepped back just in time to see the girl pull out her last arrow and fire it at her, this time, the arrow hitting its target.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Sesshomaru battled his brother, Inu Yasha, he kept a small part of his mind on Ninoka's energy levels. It seemed she had the upper hand on the ex – priestess until he felt her entire body lose its life force. Shocked to believe that she had been beaten, he turned his back on Inu Yasha and ran towards where he had last sensed her body's energy at top speed.
It didn't take him long to find it, and there it was, in the arms of a crying Kagome. /No./ he thought to himself. /After 5 years of our partnership together, you can't be gone./ He slowly walked over the dead girl's body and kneeled down before her. Feeling something wet on his cheek, he placed his finger on it and froze. /What's this? A tear?/ he thought out of shock. /Could I have cared for this girl? Could I have actually loved her?/ Carefully picking up the corpse, he carried her off of the battle field, not even paying attention to his wining brother screaming about him quitting the battle, or Kagome yelling, "Sit boy!" just to make him shut up.

What'd you think? I know it's kinda short, but work with me here. Please review. Until next time! ^-^
