Blood Drops of War: Chapter 4: Firefly

By Hotaru

I don't own Inu-Yasha, Kagome, or any of the other charectors. But I do Own Hotaru and Miko no Ti. So don't steal them! JA NE NOW

****Last Time****

Inu-Yasha glared at the shadow that had attacked him for over 20 minutes now. The shadow had scared him somewhat. He didn't know why. Suddenly the black walls about him caved inward and a bright light consumed him. He looked about confused. Then his eyes really did open. He saw Kagome staring at him with relief. He hissed in pain. 'What's going on?' his mind questioned.

***Now***

Hotaru glared at her opponent. "Sessho-Maru, Right?" She questioned him with a tiny Snarl. The demon nodded smirking all the way. Laughter raced through the clearly older, clearly full demon's eyes. "Ruler to the land of the north?" She questioned. "West." He corrected. The girl blinked in confusion. "I must have gotten you mixed up with Kale-Mi. Sorry." She giggled and smiled sheepishly. "No offense taken." The lord removed a claw into her sight. "So shall this battle begin." Hotaru's cool blue eyes traveled over the older demon. Her thoughts roamed and her mind made contact with Miko's. 'Miko…?' She questioned the space. A gasping sound was heard within her head. A soft sob as well. 'I'm ok…I'll come out in a second…Inu-Yasha just needs 10 minutes, can you hold him off that long?' A soft voice replied. 'I can.' Hotaru answered and leapt toward Sessho-Maru, trident swung in front of herself.

***Miko in Inu-Yasha's mind***

Miko glared at the pool of blood near her feet. Her heart ached again as she felt the dagger absorb another's powers. 'This is the life of a warrior.' Her mind spoke to her. Trying to comfort her. "Who?" A stern voice asked. A male half-demon with startling brown ruby eyes appeared before her. "Who are you?" He asked. "None of your concern. Lord Inu-Yasha." She smiled and in a flutter of feathers was gone. "Miko…" He whispered to himself.

***Kagome***

Kagome watched the battle unfold with fear. It was not 3 minutes into the battle that the young half-demon female had fallen against the hard earth. The ponytail that had kept the white ruffled almost silver hair out of the teens eyes had been ripped into shreds. Her hair flew about her wildly as she struck out with her trident. Sessho-Maru had only been bruised a little. The girl was huffing a little and a small trickle of blood was coming from her lips. "Not so confident now? Are we miss twit?" Came Jaken. The girl demon's eyes fell on him. She smirked an evil smirk as Jaken was hit over the head by a staff. The group turned to see another joining their party.

"What's up now Firefly?" Asked the cool voice of the girl. She had long black hair that went below her waist. Her keen hawk like brown eyes fell on Sessho-Maru. She hit Jaken over the head again with the staff. "You should tell your servants to have more manners little lord." She told him smirking. A slow moan was coming from to the right. "Inu-Yasha!" Came an exclamation from Kagome. The half-demon male rose and looked about. "I don't know why you take so long to get the job done Miko…" Came Firefly's reply to her friend. "Is it just habit?" She asked. "Your cruel Lady Hotaru. Cruel." Miko smirked as the group watched them. This brought about a giggle from the girl demon. "Well…least I'm not half as bad as your pyhsic attacks…" More laughter spilled from the girl. "Just who the heck do you think you are?!" Sessho-Maru questioned loudly.
