MUHAHAHA!! I have Michelle Branch's new album. It just came out today and I managed to snag a copy even though (being a teen) I'm poor. It's really good. Her best song is her most popular one, Are You Happy Now? The other ones aren't too bad either. (I'm listening to it right now! Song #8 is playing.)

Please Review!!

Chapter 26

Inuyasha was surprised to see Kenshin awake, standing, and looking very angry.

Inuyasha unsheathed his sword and watched it transform.

"Nice to see you on your feet Battousai," Inuyasha remarked.

Kenshin sneered when he heard his name and was surprised when the other man pulled out his sword.

The rusty piece of crap transformed into something that looked a lot like a large fang.

Kenshin knew he had to get to his swords so he darted to the door using his god-like speed.

Kenshin knew that the other guy was strong and possibly faster than him so he ran as fast as he could to the main room.

He grabbed his swords off the table and slipped them in his belt.

Then he dashed outside and waited for his opponent to come after him.

^_^

Inuyasha watched as Kenshin/ Battousai ran past him. 'Damn he's fast.'

Inuyasha heard Kenshin grab his swords off the table and run outside.

He grinned and cracked the knuckles of his unoccupied hand.

He headed outside to begin the fight.

Kat had seen Kenshin disappear and the look of amusement in Inuyasha's eyes.

She decided that she had better let them get it out of their systems.

Kat rolled her eyes as she ran outside.

She ran out the door and stopped to watch.

Kenshin crouched down into one of his famous stances.

Both fighters knew that in order to beat each other they would have to use their ultimate attacks.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and began to feel the wind swirling around him.

His cheek tingled and Inuyasha could feel the mark of the windscar.

He opened his eyes and could the swirling winds of both their forms.

Inuyasha aimed where the centers collided.

Kenshin could feel the wind around him pick up speed and could also feel the power from his sword.

It was coming in waves and Kenshin knew that his sword was no match compared to the other man's.

Kenshin switched his stance so he could maneuver away from the attack.

"KAZE NO KITSU!" Inuyasha yelled.

He swung his sword forward and his vision returned to normal.

Kenshin just barely made it out of the way in time.

He swiveled on his feet to see the damage the sword had done.

All the trees had been torn away and the ones that were left were splintered into thousands of pieces.

Four huge gashes were left in the ground and Kenshin looked in hate at his opponent.

Inuyasha smirked at the work he had done.

He didn't really care that he had missed the guy, he was still proud that he had done all that.

Kat watched from the porch horrified that Kenshin had just barely made it.

Tanya had heard the noise and was now standing next to Kat.

They watched as Kenshin disappeared from view and they could see Inuyasha raise his sword in defense.

Kenshin ran towards the Inuyasha and clashed swords with him.

Unfortunately for Inuyasha, his sword couldn't handle the pressure and it snapped.

Kenshin dodged the fist that was thrown at him.

Inuyasha threw down the broken sword and could feel his temper rising.

He let it consume him.

Kenshin could feel a very evil aurora coming from Inuyasha and turned to see that his eyes were now red and his claws were much longer.

Inuyasha charged at Kenshin and he tried to use his sword to block the attack but it was no use, his sword snapped in two and he could feel the claws dig into his stomach.

The last thing he heard was someone screaming his name.
