Shikon Cruise

Show-Down: Kagome vs. Kikyo part 1

Last time on Shikon Cruise

"So what happened while we were gone?" InuYasha asked

"Well, Kagura almost drown Kikyo." Ayame said as if nothing happened.

"Yeah and your stupid brother almost drown me." Kagura mumbled, InuYasha laughed, totally forgetting she almost drowned his girlfriend.

"Well anyways, Um…Kagome can we talk outside?" Kikyo asked, Kagome looked at InuYasha and he did the same.

"Uh…Sure." Kagome smiled, Kikyo and Kagome walked outside, InuYasha staring after them both.

"Hey who wants to get drunk?" Kilala asked.

Present time

"So, what did you want to talk about Kikyo?" Kagome asked. She was a bit frightened at the moment, what if she asked about InuYasha and her? Kagome looked around a bit nervously but straightened up in the end.

"Kagome…do you... have feelings for InuYasha?" Kikyo asked,

Her head was down casted and she was fiddling with her fingers, she already knew the truth but she just had to ask.

Kagome stood there in shock, 'Do I have feelings for InuYasha?'

"…What of course not! Never! He's just a friend! Plus he can be really dense at time! I've gotta go!" Kagome stuttered out, she ran back to the group, InuYasha came out soon after.

"Hey Inu." Kikyo smiled, her smile was sad, yet sweet…it was finally real, finally showed her true feelings.

"Hey." InuYasha smiled, he went to the edge like Kikyo. He rested his arm on it and his other hand in his pocket.

"So, what did you and Kagome talk about? She came in walking really fast and then went into Kagura's room, Kagura followed." InuYasha asked.

"Oh…you know…about how you and her have fallen in love…all of that." Kikyo said. Her eyes were on the water, splashing about on the boat.

"What?! Never!" InuYasha yelled in defense.

"InuYasha...did you and Kagome...do…it…while you were away?" Kikyo turned away from him even more.

"Ew No!" InuYasha spat out.

"Did you...kiss?" Kikyo asked, more relieved.

"…No…but…I did want to…" InuYasha answered truthfully, he hated hurting someone, but if he hadn't told her it'd hurt her even more.

"I see…I was right…I could never compete with Kagome, she was always the one everyone chose, she was always their first choice, even though she didn't want to be she always was…I thought I finally had someone she couldn't get too…but I was wrong…" Kikyo said sadly, she turned around and smiled brightly, tears falling down her cheeks.

"But its ok, I can deal with it, I'm happy for her and you! I'll smile, just like her, because even though she should be my enemy she's my role model." Kikyo smiled.

"Kikyo, you don't understand!" InuYasha tried.

"Inu, don't…you should know by now the feelings you have for her…don't deny it…please…"

"No! I really do care about you! Don't think I don't!" InuYasha yelled, he did care for her; he wouldn't have dated her if he didn't.

"I…I'm sorry…sorry that I wasn't faithful." InuYasha hugged her, she smiled and hugged back.

"Anyways I got to go." Kikyo said as she broke the embrace, she walked away slowly, never looking back.

InuYasha stood there, wondering about his feelings for a certain girl.

In Kagura's room

"So you almost kissed him?!" Sango yelled.

"Not so loud!" Kagome said.

"Dear god! This is just like a soap opera!" Kilala and Ayame sang.

"Well—" Kagura was cut off when someone slammed open her door.

"What the?" Kagura started, Kikyo came walking in, and she stood right in front of Kagome. Kagome smiled at her…and in one swift movement Kikyo's hand connected with Kagome's cheek. Kagome sat there, shocked, holding her cheek.

Everyone stood silent, before Kagura yelled,

"Bitch! Back off don't you fucking touch her!" Kagura was about to pounce on Kikyo when Kilala and Sango stopped her, Ayame rushed to Kagome.

"What's the meaning of this?" Sango asked as Kagura thrashed about in her arms.

"Kagome, you are one of the greatest friends I've ever had, and ever will have." Kikyo started.

"Then why did you slap me?!" Kagome asked in momentary anger and confusion.

"Because, no matter how great a friend…you stole my boyfriend… and with that any confidence left in me, so I, Kikyo Nakahara, challenge you to a fight, a fight for InuYasha." Kikyo said in determination.

"What…I could never…Kikyo you're my friend." Kagome smiled 'No matter what you're my friend.'

"WHAT?! After she bitched slapped you?! Fuck that! I hope you die bitch! I hope you die a horrible death!" Kagura screamed she tried to get out of Kilala and Sango's hold. Sango tried to keep her hands by her side while Kilala was holding her body.

"Dear god someone knock her out!" Kilala and Sango screamed, she was thrashing hard, she had managed to Kick Sango's leg and elbow Kilala's chest multiple of times.

"Kagome…either you fight me or I hurt InuYasha." Kikyo threatened. 'I'm sorry Kagome…I really am…'

Kagome stared in horror as Kikyo showed no trace of a bluff.

"You bitch don't threaten her!" Kagura screamed. Sango was getting fed up.

"Please Kikyo rethink this." Sango pleaded, trying to appeal to her logical side.

"Kikyo…don't hurt him, please…I…I'll fight you…" Kagome whispered, defeated.

"Good, tomorrow on the deck at 10:00am, don't you dare back down." Kikyo glared, she then walked out of the room, tears lightly glazing her eyes, Kagome was in the room, on her knees she cried and cried, Sango, Kilala and Kagura went over to her. Ayame got a glass of water.

"Don't worry Kags; I'm sure she didn't actually mean it…" Ayame tired to cheer her up.

Kagome sat there, not know what to do…should she fight her friend for a guy that she had soon grown to love?

Tomorrow she'd find out.

The next day, breakfast

"Kagome…are you up for this?" Sango asked, Kagome had finished break fast and was getting ready, she was dressed in black short shorts and a black tank top, her hair was up in a high pony tail, she had wraps around her fists and was punching a punching bag.

"I'm sure." Kagome smiled, Sango smiled but knew that she didn't really mean it.

Moments before the show-down

Kagome sat in her room, she was thinking about all of the turn outs of this fight.

'Am I really up for this? I mean Kikyo's one of my friends, I don't think I can do this; I can't hurt one of my friends! What am I going to do?!'

'This is so frustrating! Kikyo why did you have to do this! I can't do this you're my friend! I'd never hurt my friend, never! Don't make me do this now, not now!

'Dammit I hate this! We have to fight in less then a half hour! Urgh!' Kagome screamed out all of her frustrations into her pillow, she sat up again, finally regaining her posture.

'Please Kikyo call it off! Please! I beg you! I don't want to do this! I just can't do this…please!' Kagome's eyes felt the familiar sting of salt water, they poured down her cheeks like streams of pure crystal.

"But if I don't she'll hurt InuYasha! I can't let her! Not ever, InuYasha this is for you…" Kagome sat there, her heart torn but in the end she realized exactly what she had to do…

Kikyo

Kikyo sat in her room as well, she had just finished getting ready, she was wearing white tank top, white short shorts, also her hands were wrapped in white and her hair was up in a high pony tail, she thought about what she was doing.

I'm sorry Kagome, but you must understand, I need to do this, Sorry and I hope I never make you cry ever again.'

'This is the right thing to do, I know it, and this is for you Kagome and InuYasha.' that was Kikyo's final thought before she went to the deck, to await the fight….

Show-Down Time!

Kikyo went outside to the dock; the sun was streaming out between the clouds that were blocking it. She went into the middle, to find all of the students in a circle.

'Wow news sure travels fast…' she thought as she walked through, they moved out of her way. They had never seen Kikyo fight, so they were wondering how good she really was.

A few minutes later, They saw the crowd part again, Kagome was seen walking through, the wind picked up as everyone held their breathe, Kagome was known for her fighting skills and she was notorious for beating people up when the time called for it.

"Kagome, glad you made it, get ready, because this is going to be tough." Kikyo smirked.

"Hey back off bitch! By the way, you shouldn't wear white your blood stains will show." Kagura smirked.

"Please, let's just get this over with." Kagome pleaded, Sango came up.

"Ok let's keep this clean you know the rules, you do anything dirty and I'll throw your ass of the boat myself." Sango said.

"Get ready……………………………….." She paused for dramatic affect.

"Get on with it!" Someone yelled.

"Fine…Fight!" Sango yelled.

Kikyo and Kagome took their stands…
