Normal POV
The two, literally, went right through the magma rock and landed somewhere underneath the volcano. Strangely, it wasn't what anyone would expect, no it was just a cave. A cave that had an eerie silence and twisted aura, but still a cave like any other. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and looked over at Kagome and she shot fire straight from her hands, lighting their way.
"What an interesting ability, princess." Ryūkotsusei's voice echoed, causing Kagome to snap her head back in the direction of the voice and emit a frightening growl that neither Inuyasha nor Ryūkotsusei expected. "Oh, are you angry? Princess, are you by chance part demon?" Ryūkotsusei questioned and Kagome spread her wings out and grabbed Inuyasha's arm, ready to dart forward once she found the demon's exact location. "You can seek, but you won't find me." He joked, sending his voice whispering around her.
"You don't know anything about me." She sneered, pushed Inuyasha out of the way and set out an electrical charge of fire. The electric flames charged through the many paths, but then all aimed for one. Kagome smirked and walked over and helped up Inuyasha. "Did you know that metal was a huge conductor of heat? Well, your wearing metal armor on you. Bad idea," Kagome whispered in a mocking voice while Inuyasha smiled, enjoying the girl's intelligence. A menacing laugh swam around them and Kagome smirked, flying toward the direction her flames went. Just as she arrived with Inuyasha at her side, they watched as Kagome's flames shot right through Ryūkotsusei's stomach. Still, that wasn't the thing that shocked them, it was the fact that Ryūkotsusei himself was a dragon who was twenty times their size! "Big lizard," Kagome whispered and Inuyasha nodded in agreement.
"Very big lizard," he repeated and Ryūkotsusei laughed. "What are you laughing at, you disgusting scaled beast?" Inuyasha growled and Kagome cocked her head. Disgusting scaled beast? That certainly wasn't his idea of a burn, was it? Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped as the beasts tail slid across the gravel, Kagome stunned that she didn't see it coming while Inuyasha did. She wanted to protect him, yet he was protecting her. At the moment, Kagome was consumed by one of the seven deadly sins, so she couldn't really control her actions. Full of pride, she shoved Inuyasha off and flew toward Ryūkotsusei. "Kagome, stop!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"What an amusing child. You continue to fight, yet you know nothing of me and my true power. You might have been worth the search after all." Ryūkotsusei hissed and lunged for Kagome. Once Kagome's fist connected with Ryūkotsusei's face, a loud cracking sound filled the cave, followed by a horribly monstrous scream of agony. No, it wasn't Kagome, it was the beast himself. Kagome had sent a blade of fire right into his face on impact, the blade cutting through his cheek bones and then moving downward and cutting through whatever bone was in its way before sliding right out from his stomach. Luckily, Kagome caught the blade before it kept going and probably hit Inuyasha. The horrible flames were encoded with a sinister crimson. As the vibrant red of the flames mixed with the horrid crimson, a new color arose and Kagome smirked in delight. The once red flames were now a stunning violet, burning bright and ready for a kill.
"Scared yet?" Kagome asked, her voice dipped in venom. The frightening echo of her voice sent shivers down Inuyasha's spine while Ryūkotsusei tried to rise once more after such a deathly blow.
"Kagome, get the hell away from there!" Inuyasha screamed and she snapped her head in his direction, eyes piercing and deadly.
"Don't tell me what to do!" She shouted and tossed a ball of fire his way. Inuyasha took it hit on, but, luckily, was protected by the clock of the fire rat that Kagome had given him earlier.
"Your really a demon, aren't you? You know in your heart that something happened on the day of your birth." Ryūkotsusei said in a husky voice, blood dripping from both his cheek and his abdomen.
"For someone soaked in blood, you seem to still have enough strength to run your mouth. Don't worry, I'll help you shut it… permanently." Kagome growled. Just as she lunged for the dragon, Inuyasha intercepted and knocked her down. The two landed hard on the ground, the loud bang of a crater being made filled the cave. Inuyasha groaned from underneath Kagome and she looked down at him, her eyes shinning brighter than before and much more enraged to add to it. "What the hell do you thing your doing? Your insane!" She screamed as she tried to get up, but Inuyasha refused to loosen his grip around her waste. "Unhand me or I'll burn you to the point where there won't even be ashes." She warned and he merely shrugged.
"Its worth it. Kagome, your not acting like the woman I love. What is bugging you?" Inuyasha asked and Kagome's heart snapped.
"How touching. Your little love scene makes me want to barf," Ryūkotsusei interrupted in a sickening voice. Kagome flashed him a glare and tried to escape Inuyasha's grasp, her instincts tell her to get back up and fight, but her heart telling her to run while their still alive. Being as stubborn as usual, she refused her heart and followed her mind.
"Stop squirming! I'm going to fight this demon! Its my job, not yours!" Inuyasha screamed and tossed Kagome aside. Her back slammed against a rock and she hit the ground. Inuyasha didn't want to hurt her, but he, honestly, had no other choice. Kagome wouldn't sit still, so he had to use force. Kagome was, of course, pissed off, but her back hurt from its contact with the rock walls, so she couldn't stand to fight.
"Dammit, Inuyasha, this is my fight!" Kagome shouted, but he ignored her and shot forward toward Ryūkotsusei, tetsusaiga in hand.
"You plan to defeat me with that little sword? Ha! I'd love to see you try." Ryūkotsusei teased. Kagome frowned as she slowly began to wise and spread out her wings of fire.
"I'm going to do more than kill you, I'm going to personally send you right back to hell!" Inuyasha screamed as his blade made contact with Ryūkotsusei's arm, slicing it clean off. Bewildered and in agony, Ryūkotsusei took a couple of steps back while screaming in pain. Kagome gasped, regained strength, and flew over to Inuyasha's side.
"Fine! This is our fight, so we will fight it together." Kagome suggested and kissed Inuyasha's cheek. "I may not be your Kagome at the moment, but I am still Kagome." She whispered and he looked her in the eyes and smiled.
"No, your still my Kagome." He whispered back and she smiled, her crimson eyes watering and spilling a tear that became fire when it hit the ground. "By the way, that fire tear is super cool." Inuyasha added and Kagome laughed.
"Don't get used to it. My alter ego can't do that. Besides, this may be the last you see of me. I only appear near this volcano and the other me can't sustain me for long. I have approximately thirty minutes left. Can we do this within that time?" Kagome asked, trying to sound sweet but her voice still emitting a frightening echo. Inuyasha nodded and grabbed her hand. "Let's do this." The two shot forward toward the demon.
