Chapter 13
"IT IS KURAMA VERSUS KORICHIMARU!" Koto, the fox-/cat-like announcer screamed into the microphone. Everyone held their breath as the two fighters circled the arena. The winner would go to the finals. This was it. The time they had. "BEGIN!" she cried out. The two leaped forward and Kagome gasped slightly. Kurama's opponent disappeared from everyone's view.
"Where did he go?" Yusuke asked next to her. Everyone, including herself was covered in blood. Whether it was their own blood or their opponents' was a different story. She was lying in the bed in the infirmary, from her previous battle with Kohaku. That battle still ran fresh in her mind, and the wounds still spilt fresh blood, although, most here cleaned and neatly healing right before her eyes.
"I don't know." She called upon her powers, as Kurama had taught her, and she was able to see through his eyes. She could hear his thoughts, and he to her own, but, as he twirled around, as had a tugging feeling at the back of her mind, and told him to turn. There, right behind him, was Korichimaru. Kurama launched his whip at him, splitting him in half. Blood showered over Kurama, matching his rose red hair and bled into his yellow and white kimono.
"Thank you," he said, and Kagome's spirit went back to her body. Something wasn't right.
"It isn't over," she said, both for Yusuke's ears and Kurama, who still kept his attachment on. The two bodies laughed and pulled themselves back together.
"What the hell?!" Yusuke snapped, and Kagome felt something tug at her heart as a blade pierced Kurama's unsuspecting chest.
"NO!" she screamed.
