Hey guys I know it has been a while and I'm really sorry! Everything came at me at the same time so I had to take a short hiatus from writing anything, so without further ado, here it goes!

Disclaimer: I own neither Inuyasha nor LOTR

Kagome POV

I smirked as all the men were awed by my appearance. Sesshomaru was furious; his eyes already flickering with red flames. Good, he's less aware of his surroundings when his beast takes over.

"Three. Two. One. Fight!" Gandalf's mirage was only mist as I ploughed through it with a reiki arrow. Sesshomaru moved slightly allowing it to pass him with no harm. I smirked as it came back at him, he flicked his wrist at the arrow without looking at it, dissipating it with his youki whip.

"Miko, let us begin your training."

"Don't you mean your training?" I laughed back at him. His eyes were slowly being consumed by red.

Gandalf POV

I watched their battle from the parapets. Kagome was enticing him to give in to his beast, and somehow it was working. Sesshomaru was getting angered by every comment and movement she made. It almost made me want to laugh as I saw how easily she could get under his skin.

Their words were lost to me but their battle had begun.

Both were moving fast enough that I had trouble keeping up with my eyes, but whenever they paused for a moment the weapon in Lady Kagome's hands had changed. It had started out as a bow then a short knife with a design as I had never seen, a sword, sharp stars that she threw, along with many other strange weapons I had yet to encounter and find names for.

When they both stopped for a minute the weapon changed infront of our eyes, one moment it was a large curved board that was as tall as she was, and when she threw it somehow it came back to her; but the next she was grasping two curved knives with handles that were attached with a long chain.

Neither of them looked extremely tired just a bit out of breath. Sesshomaru was acting strangely though, his body quaked at irregular intervals and I realized that he was having more difficulty containing his beast than I thought he would have.

I saw her lips move and the smirk that graced her lips, Sesshomaru disappeared; but so did she. He was standing in the same spot she was a moment before, his arm stretched out and his hand grasping at air. It was like they switched spots instantaneously. A bell like laugh called out from the pair as Kagome lost it at the expression on his face, his hand still twitching around something that was no longer there.

Sesshomaru's head snapped back to her at the sound, she was bent at the waist bellowing out her merriment. He looked at the ground shaking for a moment until his body was enveloped by a tunnel of wind that had his hair and robes blowing violently around him, dirt and fist sized rocks flew around his still form. He snapped his head up so quickly that it would have snapped a mortal man's neck.

His eyes were a deep crimson, and then his face began to grow. Soon it closely resembled the head of a dog, he wore a psychotic grin. Kagome's laughter paused for a moment but then continued more boisterously than before. She must be mad!

Sesshomaru disappeared in a cloud of smoke, only to be replaced by his giant demon dog form. Flowing white hair raced across his rippling muscles. The men around me gulped, Lord Sesshomaru stood proudly in his new form; his first footstep towards the girl rattled the earth. Kagome tumbled onto her bottom and pouted up at the dog demon. She shouted at him loud enough that I could actually hear her words.

"Hey that wasn't very nice of you Sesshomaru!" her voice rang out. She looked to be concentrating for a moment but then she began to glow yet again. She emerged from the light on ethereal wings. Kagome seemed to shine from the inside; with the two of them transformed it truly looked like a battle between gods. She was light and he was dark, but both shone radiantly; the scene was truly otherworldly.

"Great Eru!" was heard in muffled gasps all around me.

Lady Kagome looked angelic floating there before Lord Sesshomaru. When her wings flapped a few feathers were lost each time, spiraling down into nothingness when they were too far from their master and new ones grew to take their place. One landed on the wall I was standing next to, I put out my hand to touch it but once I got close I could see my own aura taint it and the feather lost its luminance.

Immediately I was saddened by the thought, She may lose her purity if she ever chooses a husband, any man would probably sully her aura the minute he touched her. She will be forever alone, or tainted.

I cut off my thought and refocused on the fight, Kagome was waiting for Sesshomaru to make the first move. When he did, we were all shocked to realize that he could fly in this form as well. He seemed to make his own clouds and jump across the sky on them.

From there began a sort of contest, who could catch who as they both had free range of the sky. Finally it was ended by Kagome; she managed to fly close enough to him that she simply sat on his back and forced him to the ground. She projected her voice, "Lord Sesshomaru, do you submit?"

Lord Sesshomaru made a sort of whimper as he lay flat on his belly, and then he snorted and began to roll. Kagome wasn't fast enough as he changed into his human form and pinned her to the ground. "Miko Kagome, do you submit?"

Kagome POV

He had me, or so he thought. I pouted up at him, "But Maru! I had you first!"

"No little mate, you are mine."

I formed a Kunai knife aimed at his abdomen, "But Maru! I still have you!"

His hands around my neck only tightened, "Submit."

I pressed the kunai harder, drawing blood, "Submit."

We stared at each other, neither of us willing to submit. But I refused to allow a draw, Sessho wouldn't actually kill me, he would hurt me to make his point and bandage me up later, but he wouldn't kill me. And the same applied for me; he was just more durable than the frail human that I am.

"I won't lose, you had best give in." I told him, "Unless you are willing to kill me."

His eyes narrowed at me, "You provoked this fight, and you will not turn it on me as if it were my fault."

"Really? I very well remember you saying I wasn't a good enough fighter."

"You are a sufficient fighter, but we both need training for what is to come, now submit to me."

We sat there for a minute at a stalemate, Gandalf even came over and began to announce a draw but both of us threw him murderous glares when he opened his mouth.

I tried to blast him off with a barrier but I was slowly realizing that he had been adapting his youki to my reiki, my kunai wasn't even scratching him anymore. He grinned down at me, "Submit little mate."

"No."

"Hn." He bent down close to my ear and whispered quietly to me, "I have…other ways of making you submit; although I would have preferred not to use them in front of a crowd of men." He licked the shell of my ear to get his point across.

I could feel my face burning with embarrassment. "Hmph."

"What was that little mate? I didn't hear you." He moved his lips closer to mine.

"Fine! Fine! I submit!" I yelled as loud as I could, aiming to hurt his sensitive ears. "You cheat like my brother, except Souta always did the spit thing." I mumbled under my breath.

"Spit thing?"

I rolled my eyes, I wasn't about to tell him that when Souta won our fights it was usually because he had pinned me and was threatening to spit on me. That would just give a guy like Sesshomaru ideas. "Nevermind, would you please get off now?"

"Hn, little mate I am now your alpha, you realize this?"

"Well yeah but-"

"No buts, I move when I want to."

I sighed and relaxed into the hard ground, "Well this didn't go as planned. I was supposed to win." He chuckled and nuzzled my neck with his nose.

"I am not weak little mate, I must be strong so I can protect you."

"Sesshomaru, you know I don't need protecting."

"Just let me Kagome, let me keep my pride." I sighed and let the subject drop. After a few more moments he finally got up and helped me up. "I imagine Astrid is wondering the outcome of our battle, and I bet Ayaki is waiting for you."

"Do you want to come?"

"Hn." So I dragged him along behind me.

Hey guys! What did you think? Sorry, I'm kinda bad at battle scenes. I hope you liked it! I love you guys! Please leave me a quick note if you have the time, Thanks!

Until Next Time,
