"This is the end, doll."
"Not quite." Kagome shot Kouga one of his own sly smiles.
"What are you…" Kouga suddenly growled loudly as pain shot through his arm. Kagome's teeth went sinking into his skin. Caught off guard Kouga dropped her and she went running across the rest of the river.
Kouga rubbed his arm and turned toward the demon next to him. "Don't just stand there. Get her!" The demon went chasing quickly after her. "You better not run girl!"

"So this is where you've been hiding." Sesshoumaru said blankly to a tense Inuyasha.
"What's it to you?" Inuyasha spat the words at him. "Why do you spend all your time chasing after your brother and some human? Do you not have a life or something?" Inuyasha mused.
"You would know a lot about taking lives wouldn't you little brother? You should know by now that my life was with Rin but, you even took her from me."
"Shut up!" Inuyasha growled at the painful memories and tried to bite them back by swallowing hard.
"Oh what's wrong does that HURT!" Sesshoumaru's claws went cutting into Inuyasha's cheek; drawing blood.
Inuyasha moved away quickly. He could feel warm blood trickling down his face. Sesshoumaru was fast and swiftly went to make another attack. Inuyasha had to think quickly.
"Iron reaver; soul stealer!"
Sesshoumaru's claws met with Inuyasha's. Inuyasha's claws made small gashes on his brother's hand but his brother's claws made gashes on his as well; only they were deeper. Sesshoumaru began to laugh.
"Little brother I appreciate the enthusiasm you put into fighting me but these scratches will get you nowhere."
"You don't seem to be doing anything more than scratching me either." Inuyasha countered.
"Yes, but There's one difference between me and you. I'm not a half breed mutt like you are." Sesshoumaru flashed his claws at Inuyasha showing a poison green aura around them.
Inuyasha's heart stopped. "Poison…"
"Oh you're such a clever puppy aren't you!" Sesshoumaru's claws were heading for Inuyasha again. Inuyasha tried to dodge the attack but his brother's claws ripped at his side. Blood soaked Inuyasha's pants and ran down his leg. Inuyasha felt pain paralyze his body as his shoulder slammed into a tree and he slid down the trunk to the ground.
He knew he had to fight. He had to survive. Inuyasha pulled himself back to his feet despite the pain that tore through his entire body. The poison was beginning to take its toll.
Sesshoumaru wouldn't stand for this. "Stay down!" He went to knock him back to the ground but Inuyasha countered.
"Iron reaver; Soul Stealer!" His claws sunk into his brother's skin. Warm crimson oozed from the wound he had made on Sesshoumaru's stomach.
Sesshoumaru winced momentarily then grabbed the hanyou by the throat and shoved him against the tree. Sesshoumaru took his claws and allowed them to sink into the sides of Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha could feel himself getting weaker. Sesshoumaru was sending poison straight into his throat. "Dirty mutt." Sesshoumaru said through clenched teeth.
