The Battle

Kagome's POV

"So what will you two do now? Take the jewel? Kill us?"

"We only want the jewel. I don't care what happens to the half breed." said Sesshomaru.

"What happens to you four isn't our business. We just want the jewel." said Kikyo.

I looked at them both. I couldn't believe this.

"No! You will not have the jewel. Over my dead body." said InuYasha.

Sesshomaru pulled out a sword.

"Then die, little brother." said Sesshomaru.

Before the battle could start. Naraku stepped out from the shadows.

"My my. I see I'm about to see InuYasha die." said Naraku.

Kaname stood behind a tree and watch the scene.

"Let's end this now!" said Sesshomaru.

InuYasha grabbed his sword and was ready to battle. InuYasha took off running. He went toward Sesshomaru with his sword pointing at him. InuYasha lifted his sword about to hit his mark until Sesshomaru blocked hit attack.

"Your going to have to do better than that, little brother." said Sesshomaru.

The only thing I could do was stand there and watch. But then I remembered. I had my bow and arrow. I was about to help when Kikyo stepped into my view.

"I think not, Kagome. Your battle is with me." said Kikyo.

Me? Fight with Kikyo?

Sesshomaru and InuYasha continued. It look like InuYasha wasn't getting any hits. At this point. Sesshomaru look like the winner in this mach.

Kikyo looked at me with hateful eyes. Did she hate me this much? Did I really take InuYasha away from her?

"Kikyo, I don't want to fight you."

"Want? It doesn't matter what you want. This fight between us was going to happen one day. Sooner or later you and I would face each other." said Kikyo.

Kikyo grabbed her bow and arrow. She was serious. She really wanted to fight me. She lifted up her bow and pointed it at me. She pulled back and let go sending the arrow at me. It missed. She sent me a warning shot. I looked at Zero and Yuki. They where both shocked. I turned around and took off running. I didn't want to fight.

Yuki's POV

I watched Kagome run away. I notice Kikyo was just standing there. Kikyo looked at me. She gave me a dirty look and walked toward where Kagome ran off to. I looked at Zero and he looked back at me.

"What now? What do we do?"

"Nothing. This is their battle." said Zero.

I knew Zero was right. But why did I feel like I needed to help. I didn't notice that Kaname and Rain was standing behind us.

"What a shame. To see your friends in a battle for their lives and can't do nothing about it." said Kaname.

I turned around and saw Kaname and Rain standing there. I was about to respond until I saw Rain had handcuffs on her.

"Kaname, why does Rain have handcuffs on?"

Kaname smiled evilly. I took a step back.

"Because she told. She told the truth." said Kaname.

"It's because she told me who she really was. It's because of that. Isn't it, Kaname?" said Zero.

Kaname looked at Zero.

"That's right, Kiryu. She told you the truth. Because of that she had to be punished. What her fate will be? I have desisted." said Kaname.

"How could you be so cruel? The brother I know wouldn't be so mean."

Rain looked up at me. She looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't. Was there more secrets my brother was hiding?

Back with InuYasha and Sesshomaru. The fight was harder for InuYasha. He was getting tired. He was losing this battle and fast.

"Now Sesshomaru. Kill your half breed of a brother." said Naraku.

"If I do. Do I get my wish?" said Sesshomaru.

"Yes. I will bring back the ones who you care for." said Sesshomaru.

InuYasha gave his brother a weird look.

"Is this why your doing this? For a wish? Why not ask Kagome for this wish?" said InuYasha.

"Naraku can grant me my wish. Has for you. You can not." said Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru raised his sword.

"Let's end this now!" said Sesshomaru.

Meanwhile with Kagome and Kikyo. Kikyo was chasing Kagome in the woods.

"Enough! I don't want to fight you, Kikyo!" said Kagome.

"If not. Then give me the jewel." said Kikyo.

"Never!." said Kagome taking off running again.

Kikyo shot another arrow and it almost hit Kagome. Kagome fell to the ground and the jewel slipped out of her hand.

"No! The jewel." said Kagome reaching for it.

Kikyo's hand reached down and picked up the jewel.

"Thank you, Kagome. You don't have to die tonight." said Kikyo.

"No. Don't take it. Give it back. Don't give it to Naraku." said Kagome.

But it was too late. Kikyo was gone.

Sesshomaru was about to kill InuYasha when Kikyo came walking up.

"Enough, Lord Sesshomaru. I have it." said Kikyo.

Sesshomaru stopped. He put away his sword and walked toward Kikyo and they vanished.

"Kagome..." said InuYasha.

InuYasha got up and went looking for Kagome. When he found her. She was sitting there staring at the sky.

"I lost. I lost to Kikyo. She took the jewel. What now, InuYasha. Naraku has won." said Kagome.

"No, Kagome. We have friends who will help, Zero and Yuki. Don't give up. We will get the jewel back and defeat Naraku." said InuYasha.

Meanwhile with Zero and Yuki.

Yuki's POV

I stood there watching my brother. What was going on.

"Kaname, what is going on?"

"Nothing, Yuki. Nothing for you to worry about." said Kaname.

Kaname turned around and walked away. Rain followed behind him with her head hanging low.

"Something is wrong. He is hiding something." said Zero.
