Well? Haven't gotten any reviews yet, but I'll put this chapter up anyway-
I guess ya'll haven't had time to R&R, since I did all of those last night.
Please respond, though! Give me any good ideas you may have for the
continuation of this story.
I still don't own Inu Yasha. . . or Kagome, or Shippo, or Seshy, etc. . . but I do own that lil rat demon. . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu Yasha struggled to his feet, placing his arm gently around Kagome and pulling her close to him. He met Seshomaru's eyes and glared at him, till Seshomaru looked away. Then Inu Yasha pushed Kagome behind him, standing between her and Seshomaru, and drew Tetsusaiga.
'Alright Fluffy- do you want to fight or not.' He growled. Seshomaru glanced down at the cowering rat-shaman, which Inu Yasha saw and laughed at.
'Aww, the big bad dog demon is afraid. . . maybe the little rat can save him!'
'GGGRRRRRRR!!!' Seshomaru glared daggers at Inu Yasha, but the hanyou only laughed, bringing Tetsusaiga up into a fighting position. Seshomaru involuntarily stepped back, then apparently thought of something and stopped. A slow smile spread across his face and he looked over at Kagome. The rat demon saw his focus, and smiled too. Unnoticed by Inu Yasha, he began to scale the rock wall behind them, collecting his bow and quiver along the way.
'Well Inu Yasha, if you're so eager to fight, why don't you come on out and fight?'
'You know perfectly well I can't get through this barrier- and neither can you! Just like you to hide behind a wall when there's a real fight.' Responded Inu Yasha. Seshomaru snarled, and brought his hand up, claws facing Inu Yasha. A pale light grew there in his palm, growing stronger, till it erupted from his hand to fly at Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha wasn't bothered at all- he turned Tetsusaiga and reflected the menacing beam back at Seshomaru, who had to duck quickly to escape it.
Seshomaru jumped back up as soon as the light passed over his head, and shot a glance up at the rock face above Inu Yasha. The rat was in place there, bow strung, and an arrow aimed at Kagome's back. Seshomaru looked back at Inu Yasha, and grinned cruelly.
'Very well, Inu Yasha- if you insist that I not use your pathetic little bitch. . . then I will not- in which case, there is no reason for her to stay alive. . .' with that he signaled to the shaman to loose the arrow, simultaneously attacking Inu Yasha with another beam of light.
Kagome heard the _twang_ of the arrow and started to turn to look behind her. As she did, the arrow embedded itself in her shoulder- because she had moved, it had not hit home, in her heart, but nevertheless, she collapsed to the ground, gasping, and fainted, crying out 'Inu Yasha. . .' before the world went black.
Inu Yasha, busy deflecting the steady attack from Seshomaru, turned at this, and leaped to cover Kagome. Seshomaru broke off his attack and laughed, thinking that the arrow had killed her.
'So you see, Inu Yasha, the weakness of humans that has always been your downfall. Too bad it took you till now to realize it. You should thank us- we have done you a favor, ridding you of that parasite. I am afraid, however, that you shall not live to enjoy your new freedom. This is my final chance to rid the world of you, forever- good bye, my bastard brother.' With that he attacked again, his light flashing out to surround Inu Yasha, hiding him in its power.
Inu Yasha had been waiting for this move, however. He leaped up, swinging Tetsusaiga in a high arch to intercept the attack, and reflecting the light back at Seshomaru. He leapt against the barrier that had held him, grief giving him impossible strength. The magical walls, weakened by Seshomaru's demon magic passing through them, gave out under his attack, and Inu Yasha was through!
Seshomaru, trying to avoid the rebounded magic, wasn't quick enough to also escape Inu Yasha. He fell on his back, with Inu Yasha bearing down upon him, lifting Tetsusaiga high over his head.
Inu Yasha swung the sword down, just once, chopping at the terrified Seshomaru. The crunch of bone and flesh was audible throughout the clearing, which became suddenly very still and quiet.

There, how do you like that? Still not over, lots more on the way, I just had to end this chapter somewhere, and this sounded like a good place to stop. Please write a REVIEW~ or two, or three. . . I love reading them!
