Chapter 7: Showdown
I stood at the gate before the school. I had finally convinced Kako to stay at the Urameshii's apartment, it was for the best. Yuusuke floated along beside me with Photon in tow. I nearly laughed at the thought of what would go down today. I would probably die at Muraki's hands but I just couldn't bring myself to care. Muraki needed to die, whether or not I can actually accomplish that, I am unsure. This would definitely be a day to remember for all who attend.
I spied Yuki and Tohru through a window on the second story. I smile, but I'm sure they take no comfort in it; my attire today is not the normal school uniform. What once was the blouse to my school uniform had the arms torn off and half the middle as well, showing all of my nice bandages and scars. I had gotten my hands on a pair of black leather pants and wore it with my blood stained and ripped blouse. I thought it was all very unique, especially the sword at my side and twin blades strapped to my thighs. Yes, it was quite unique.
I tapped my foot. Muraki was there, in the school, I could feel his evilness seeping from the ground. He was coming, but he was taking his sweet time. I could already hear the sirens coming, but Muraki would engage in the fight long before they get here. That slime will die for what he's done and not just to me, but to everyone. Especially for what he did to Hisoka, my twin brother, for that I will never forgive him. Muraki had revealed this information to me amidst all the torture and experiments and it's what kept me sane through it all.
He appeared at the doors and started toward me across the ground. I also, started towards him. We met in the middle. He adjusted his glasses and smiled. "So, Miss. Mina Licari, back for more?"
"I'm back for my Revenge, Muraki! Too long has my family suffered at your hands, It ends here."
"Strong words from someone who nearly died at my hands three times. I would say you where overstepping your bounds." I darted forward with my twin blades in hand. He dodged. "Now, now, that wasn't a fair warning!"
"Since when have you ever cared about the rules, Muraki!" He smiled again and drew a sword from out of nowhere and charged.

"What's gotten in to her? She didn't even come home last night and now this? Look at her! She looks more dead than alive!" Kyo cried out angrily. I couldn't help but agree, but there was something about her stance, she was here to fight, to fight the very thing she ran from the other day. She had been terrified; I had seen it in her eyes as she bumped into my shoulder as she ran. I had a feeling she remembered what had happened.
"She's carrying weapons…" Tohru said. I turned to look at her, there was fear in her eyes.
"I'm sure she'll be alright, she must have a perfectly logical explanation for this."
"I'm going down there to see what she thinks she's doing." Kyo said and thundered down the stairs just as the new male nurse swept by, also going down the stairs.
"I think it has something to do with that nurse… She had been called into the Infirmary right before she ran off… He has to be behind this!" I watched her as the Nurse did indeed make an appearance; apparently Kyo had been stopped at the entrance.
They started walking towards each other, her face was set with a feral grin. They exchanged brief words and she darted forward with. I heard Tohru gasp as the doctor side stepped her attack and drew a sword. They started to exchange blows, neither one of them getting a hit on the other. The sirens drew closer; they couldn't be more than a block away.
Mercury was flipping in the air and blood was flying about her. He had gotten a hit, but it wasn't slowing her down at all. The police had arrived.

"Situation critical! Both are armed and appear to be very dangerous!" An officer reported. Another vehicle drove up and several ministry agents got out.
"Great, just what we need, more meddling." The officer in charge muttered. One of the agents, who looked no more than 16 found a good spot to view the battle.
"Chief! It's Mina!" He shouted back toward the other new arrivals. The Chief came over.
"Stand your men down. That's one of our agent in there!"
"The government hiring kids now?"
"These 'kids' as you call them, are worth 10 of you if not more. Now, stand your men down. That's an order." The officer grumbled but complied. "Tsuzuki! Terazuma! Get in there! Watari, get a hold of her cousin, but make sure her Uncle doesn't know anything!"
***
The fed's where here now. What a pain in my ass, I kindda worked for them and here there where aiming guns at my head. Not like another bullet wound would make a difference… unless it killed me. Another car came. I had to pay attention to Muraki or I'd get run through. We made a couple of passes before I heard a familer voice shout "Tsuzuki! Terazuma! Get in there!" Great, because I totally needed two Guardians of Death to help me fight, after all it was my fight, my mission. I growled and leapt forward, catching Muraki in the stomach, he in turn got me across the shoulder.
Asato and Terazuma entered the fight. "Don't use your shikigami unless you absolutely have to! It wouldn't do to have to erase the entire student body's memories!"
"Got it, just be careful Mina!" Tsuzuki yelled over to me.
"Don't worry about me, I can handle this, just make sure he doesn't harm anyone else!" I charged at the vile fiend but he jumped and flipped behind Terazuma. I could feel my stomach clenching and the blood running from the corner of my mouth, but I wasn't going to give up. Not now, not when my goal was in my grasp.
"Mina! Back out! Let them handle this!" I don't know who yelled it out at me and quite personally I didn't care.
"No, I will fight, this is MY FIGHT!" I charged at Muraki again but he easily blocked it and pushed me back into a tree.
"You should really listen to your friends Mina. If you keep going like this you'll die."
"As long as I take you with me, I can deal with that!" Again I darted forward but he parried and attacked. More blood, my head started to spin but I stayed on my feet.

"She's going to die!" Tohru cried out clutching the windowsill so hard that her nails left marks. "This has to stop!"
"They won't let anyone out." We turned to look at Kyo. "I tried alright! Don't give me that look you damn rat!"
"Fighting amongst yourselves now won't help her! Open the window!" said another girl who came up behind us.
"Your… Kagome right?" The girl nodded and opened the window. She leaned out and bellowed:
"INUYASHA!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" then she jumped out the window, just like that.
"NO!" Tohru leaned out and looked down. "I don't believe it, he caught her… he actually caught her! So that's the infamous InuYasha!"
***
"INUYASHA!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" I knew that voice… she went to this school? Well, at this point I wouldn't mind having InuYasha's help, but still, that would almost be as bad as having Asato and Terazuma unleash there shikigami… I wonder if I could somehow get Miroku through the Bone eaters well and just have him use his wind tunnel to suck Muraki up. I quickly shook my head, it would be impossible and there wasn't time for it… shaking my head was a big mistake, the world swam before my eyes. Muraki charged me and I couldn't move… was this how I was to meet my end?
