CHAPTER 7: Boss Battle!

"Kohaku! Get the fox!"

A figure swept past Kagome and cut the rope intertwining Mokona's leg, followed by her coughing. Kohaku now had Mokona in his hands.

"That was rather pretty easy there, miko."

"Kagura!"

"We should be going now, and she now belongs to Naraku!"

"Kagura! Let go of Mokona!"

---

"Where am I?"

"Hello there." A boy's voice echoed through the small space. "I hope you won't feel uncomfortable."

"Na ne, it's alright. I can take care of myself… you're Kohaku right? Sango's younger brother?"

That boy addressed nodded. Just then, Modoki came into the conversation.

"You were forced to do this, don't you, Kohaku?"

"H-how did you know that?" He stammered. "And how did you know me?"

"I'm a mind reader and my whole family is a mind reader too. Oh, before I forget, Mokona 'Tails' Yamato and the one's talking before is my guardian spirit, Modoki."

"Pleased to meet you."

"Let's see, I've made a perfect battle plan, and it'll gonna involve you too. You're ready, Kohaku?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, then, go to rest."

Unknowingly to Mokona, she had already dropped the na ne prefix out of her speech…

Kohaku woke up at midnight when he heard the cell's door crashed to the ground.

"You're coming?"

Kohaku nodded; unaware that Naraku is watching everything. Mokona anyway was getting trigger-happy with her Jackhammer, constantly peering at corners. When she arrived at a large hall, Kagura was waiting.

"I was sure that you will come out of the cell much quicker than Amar was." She said. "Dance of the Blades."

To avoid the sharp wind blades, Mokona quickly dived to her side to hide beneath a pillar. She single-handedly fired the jackhammer at the wind sorceress, not knowing else what to do.

"Mokona, try to burn her."

"Okay!" She then ran in front of Kagura. "Kitsune Bi! Flamethrower!"

Mokona threw a blue ball, which spewed fox flames fiercely towards Kagura. At the same time, she fled.

"That little fox! She's trying to get away!"

Get her, Kohaku. I want her soul.

Mokona suddenly pivoted on her left heel, turning back and stopped instantly. Kohaku was kneeling on the ground, holding his head.

"Naraku, I know you're out there. Come out, you coward!"

Modoki guided Mokona what to do next. However, she was hit by Kohaku's sickle on her back.

"Mokona!"

Mokona fell, but she kept her sturdiness.

"I'm alright, Modoki. Seems like I still can fight, and I can heal the wounds with the PSI Recover." Mokona then took a deep breath. "PSI Recover!"

In an instant, her wounds are healed.

'Let's move on to the fryer, then! PSI Fire Barrier Omega!" Once she finished it, a fire shield enveloped around her (a la Sonic the Hedgehog 3…)

"Finish her, Kohaku!"

Kohaku threw his chain sickle at Mokona, but she flew away with her tails, before she dunked down at the young demon slayer with the barrier's Fire Dash. Kohaku was knocked away to the wall unconscious while Mokona stopped at a skidding stop.

"Perish the Fire Barrier! PSI Magnet Barrier Alpha!"

This time, the fire barrier dissipated, and changed into a white force field. Kagura then attacked with her might.

"Dance of the Blades!"

But the two-tailed fox was not faltered; she instead cowered in the spot and the wind blades just bounced off the force field.

"My turn!"

Mokona rolled into a ball, making some noisy buzzing sound. She launched herself at full speed, knocking Kagura at a terrifying impact.

"How can that fox be so strong?!"

"Kagura, retreat. We have to go now."

"Hmph! The next time we meet, you won't be so lucky!"

Kagura, Kohaku, Kanna and Naraku fled from the battle, leaving the young orange fox jumping and leaping around in joy.

"Hurray! I won!"

"I thought you were going to be finished up." Modoki said.

"I just remembered what Kyle taught me when we're visiting the United States…but still, I wanted to go home…"

"Let's go then. Everyone was waiting for you."

A/N: This chapter took a whole couple of months to finish because I didn't want to end MSP too soon. Well, I took a long time to make sure everything was up to my usual standard. So, keep on reading and reviewing, TQ!
