Chapter 10: Another Enemy

"Fluffy," Mikomi acknowledged him.

"So now that we both agree, you should hand the sword over to me," Sesshoumaru replied.

"I wasn't talking about you, Fluffy. I was talking about my friend, Rekka," Mikomi smirked as his grin turned to a scowl.

"Me?" Rekka gulped in shock. "No way, that thing has been in your family and your father wanted you to have it, so you should keep it."

"He doesn't want it, so give it here, young niece," Sesshoumaru held out his hand.

"Not on your life," Mikomi glared at him. "Tetsusaiga, I know he is of my blood, but his blood is tainted. Please Tetsusaiga, help me win against my father's enemy!"

"As if it could actually hear you!" Sesshoumaru laughed.

"Oh, but how do you know it can't?" Mikomi grinned, closed her eyes as she brought the sword up and a brilliant white-gold light surrounded her and the sword.

"What?" Sesshoumaru gasped in shock.

"I don't want to kill you, Sesshoumaru! I will if I have to!" Mikomi yelled angrily.

"You don't have enough power to kill him!" Kikyo came out and laughed at Mikomi.

"How would you know, dead witch?" Rekka glared at Kikyo. "Your power died with you, and left you!"

"How dare you!" Kikyo screamed at him in furry and one of her arrows flew into him.

"FIRE FLARE!" Rekka yelled angrily at Kikyo.

"CLAWS OF BLOOD!" once again Mikomi used the light and infused it with her attacks, injuring Sesshoumaru, who limped away, and Rekka had killed Kikyo.

"Rekka! Are you all right?" Shippo asked his eldest foster son.

"Fine. Father, where's Mikomi?"

"I'm right here," she touched his face gently. "I'm going to patch you up… this may hurt a bit."

"I think I can take it," Rekka grinned. Mikomi saw his face and quickly pushed the arrow all the way through. Rekka grimaced.

"You'll be fine, now," Mikomi sighed as she finished wrapping his wound.

"Hey, is that any way to talk to a guy?" Rekka laughed a bit.

"Bah, you almost die and you act like my father used to," Mikomi replied.

"Mikomi…" Rekka frowned.

"Huh?" Mikomi looked down at him.

"Can we talk later?"

"Feh, I guess," Mikomi got up and left the room.

"She's like her father, as well as her mother," Shippo smiled at his son.

"And yet she's more than just that," Rekka sighed.

"At least I heal fast," Rekka mumbled.

"You could have been in your human form, when it happened," Mikomi had snuck up upon him.

"That would have been worse," Rekka sighed.

"So, what'd you want to talk about?" Mikomi leaned on the tree he was leaning on.

"About you… and me," Rekka replied softly.

"Oh, is there something?" Mikomi teased him a little.

"Silly girl, get over here," Rekka grumbled, as she jumped back short distances.

"Why?" Mikomi cocked her head in a comical manner.

"Because I want to kiss you," Rekka growled.

"Sit!" Mikomi smiled, walked up to Rekka, who was just gaining the use of his feet when she kissed him on his cheek.

"What was the 'sit' for?" he asked when she moved.

"The angry growl," Mikomi blushed as he pulled her close and growled playfully at her. He swept her into a full lip lock…

"MIKOMI!" Tora yelled. "WHERE ARE YOU? MIKOMI!"

"Um…" Mikomi broke away and sighed with disappointment, as she heard Tora. Rekka sighed as well, and stood up. He offered her his hand, and together they walked back to camp.
