I know, it's been about a long time, but every time I even think of writing
this thing, I get queasy and lose all motivation. I'm going to try to wrap
most of it up this chapter, so I can just write the conclusion next time
and be done. Then I can go and work exclusively on The Headfull Horseguy,
and the top-secret fic that hasn't even been uploaded yet because it needs
a rewrite. Bad.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this stuff, yadda yadda.please tell me before you use Raal, if you do, since he's mine. Not that he's a very good character. Oh well.

Buffy and Inu-Yasha immediately oriented themselves to face the new threat. Buffy lifted her axe, and swung it at the creatures approaching her. They dodged back, and she saw those near Inu-Yasha do the same as he punched at them out of the corner of her eye.
Inu-Yasha charged forward, claws bared, eager to cause damage. The creatures dodged back and forth to escape him, but he managed to land a few hits, and they scattered back into the warehouse, shrieking.
Buffy was having more luck. She had already decapitated one, and she strode through the dust it had left behind, pursuing its companions, who retreated quickly.
Inu-Yasha growled at their cowardice, and started to move to follow them. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a movement in the shadows. He turned to look at it, but the creatures swarmed forward again in an attempt to distract him from it.
Buffy hacked at the creatures with her axe, and Inu-Yasha slashed at them with his claws. Together, they took out two more before the creatures retreated again.
Inu-Yasha leapt off into the shadows, leaving a shocked Buffy by herself to fight off the former vampires. She cursed him under her breath, and readied herself for the next onslaught of enemies.
######################################################################
Inu-Yasha dashed among the boxes, away from the main battle. He had seen movement, and he was willing to bet it was the demon. No doubt he was trying to escape while his filthy little minions distracted everyone.
Inu-Yasha launched himself over a wall built of boxes, and stopped dead in his tracks. He hadn't realized how closely he had come..
Raal glared at the intruder who had just landed three feet in front of him.
######################################################################
Buffy kicked one vampire beast in the gut, and chopped off the head of another. Thanks to her efforts, only three of Raal's minions remained. It wasn't like they were actually very good fighters.
For no apparent reason, the three remaining creatures suddenly backed off. Buffy gripped her axe, and breathed deeply in the unexpected calm.
The former vampires blinked at each other and at Buffy, and then sprinted off.
"Hey, come back here!" shouted Buffy. "I'm not done killing you yet!"
#######################################################################
"*So you're the one I've been smelling,*" hissed Inu-Yasha.
"*What of it? You have no reason to kill me,*" stated Raal, glancing towards the door.
"*Oh, yes I do,*" said Inu-Yasha. "*I know you have a shard of the Shikon Jewel, and I'm not leaving until it's mine."*
"*Is that so?*" mused Raal.
Almost without any sound, Raal's final three minions crept up behind Inu- Yasha. Raal grinned at Inu-Yasha.
In the following moment, several things happened. The three monsters leapt at Inu-Yasha's back, Buffy came flying over a nearby crate into the monster nearest her, and Inu-Yasha leapt at Raal, fists extended. Buffy hacked the creature she had landed on into several pieces, which promptly exploded into clouds of dust.
Inu-Yasha had less luck. The two other monsters latched themselves onto his legs, and he went down on his face. The creatures gleefully clawed at his back, but he kicked hard, dislodging them.
Buffy caught the arm of one as it flew past, and used the energy of its motion to swing it in an arch over her head and into the floor. Blood sprayed from its now-mangled face.
Inu-Yasha hopped to his feet, and launched himself off at the one Buffy had failed to get. It hit the floor and skidded into a wall, moments before he drove his claws into it with all the force of his jump. It screamed in agony, and he quickly finished it off.
Buffy drew back her axe from the cloud of dust she had just beheaded. She glanced around and saw only Inu-Yasha.
"*Where the hell did he go?! That coward!*" yelled Inu-Yasha, and he dashed off in the direction of Raal's scent.
Buffy groaned inwardly and chased off after Inu-Yasha.
##################################################################
Raal crouched behind the pile of what were currently corpses. With any luck, they would mask his scent from that filthy half demon. He hated half demons almost as much as he hated vampires. Maybe more, since he had difficulty in commanding them.
###################################################################
Inu-Yasha sneered at the stupidity of the big demon. As if hiding behind human corpses would fool anyone. It was all just very disgusting.
He held the sleeve of his kimono over his nose, warding off as much of the scent as he could.
Buffy looked back and forth between Inu-Yasha and the gruesome view of the corpse pile.
"You mean he's in THERE?!" she moaned. "Yuck!"
Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes and nodded. Stupid girl. She'd just lost him the element of surprise.
Raal burst from his hiding place, sending a plethora of dead bodies flying towards them. Both Buffy and Inu-Yasha managed to dodge most of them, and mainly stood their ground.
Raal snarled at them, exposing his impressive set of fangs. He flexed his claws. He knew he had little hope, but he would at least endeavor to kill one of his tormentors.
Buffy and Inu-Yasha exchanged glances, and both charged at once. Raal roared, and lashed out wildly. Both Inu-Yasha's claws and Buffy's axe hit home on his torso, and he doubled over.
Raal gasped with the sudden shock of pain. Buffy gave one last blow to his neck, and he collapsed.
######################################################################
Buffy and Inu-Yasha emerged blinking from the warehouse into the sunlight, each with his or her own minor injuries.
"*Are you all right?*" asked Kagome. Inu-Yasha nodded numbly, and handed her the shard of the Shikon Jewel he had retrieved from Raal's head.

I'm almost done! YES! Just one more little chapter, and I can be rid of this! I so happy!
