Well, I guess I'm a little better at fight scenes then I thought, given the response. I have been informed that I got the full demon InuYasha's looks wrong, but it's too late to change it now! Sorry if it annoys you, cause he'll be making at least one other appearance in this.
I don't own InuYasha.

Kagome watched in horror as InuYasha finished his transformation. His eyes glowed a dark crimson, and his mouth was turned upward in a snarl. The odd demon, "Atma" as she had called herself, stood among the blue flames that now enveloped the clearing, turning trees to ash. But where were Sango, Miroku, and the others. A small knot formed in her stomach. What was this Atma?
As if in response to her unspoken question, Atma threw back her head in a loud laugh. Her grin spread evilly over her entire face, and she lowered into a crouch. Come on, InuYasha! Kagome thought, but a look at the hayou-turned-youkai's face made her wonder who she actually wanted to win.
Suddenly, Atma tensed, and rushed forward, dropping Tetsusaigia into an underhanded swing. Kagome's eyes twitched in amazement as Atma literally battered InuYasha all the way across the clearing, lobbing blow after ferocious blow. Finally, InuYasha, blood trailing from his mouth and nose, slumped to the ground. Kagome gasped in horror as the winged youkai reached down, and hefted InuYasha to her height, holding him by his forehead.
The arrow was in the air before Kagome realized she had fired it. It blazed to life, flaring and pulsing with sheer miko energy, easily as powerful as the one she had used to destroy Naraku's body. The arrow spun in a brilliant arc, and embedded itself strait into the winged demon's back.
Atma's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide in a silent scream of pain as wave after burning wave of miko energy rocked through her body. As the pulsing of the energy disappeared, the arrow fell in to ashes. Atma seethed air in through clenched teeth, and turned to face Kagome.
Almost negligently she tossed the beaten InuYasha aside, and turned to face Kagome. She held up a finger, and crooked it, gesturing for Kagome to come forward. Kagome suddenly found herself flung forward like a rag doll into the air, and dragged right in front of the winged demon.
Atma growled at her. "That hurt." She said, holding up a hand, and displaying inch long claws. "You are annoying." She observed, bringing the claws closer to the young Miko's face. Kagome's eyes widened in fear, and she let out a slight whimper. Suddenly, a tan ball of fur whipped out seemingly nowhere and attached to Atma's face. The youkai screamed in annoyance, and attempted to get the little kitsune off her face. Shippo was attacking with every little muscle her had, singeing her hair with foxfire, biting her nose savagely, and scratching any available surface with his little claws.
Eventually, Atma got a hold of the little Kitsune, and threw him away. She turned to face Kagome again, but was cut off as a giant boomerang caught her across the face. All eyes turned to the crater that Atma had created earlier. Sango and Miroku stood among the ash, grinning at the shocked demon. "What?" Sango asked, catching the boomerang, struggling to stand. "You thought that a little thing like the Tetsusaigia would get rid of us?" She was obviously struggling to stand, and her cat-suit was burnt and frayed in parts, she didn't have her gas mask, and her hair was very badly singed. Miroku looked slightly better, but there was obviously something wrong with his leg, by the way he used his staff as a crutch.
Atma gave them both a flat, unamused expression. "Okay, now I'm really gettingā¦" She was cut of hey again as yet another miko arrow slammed into her back, making her roar in pain again. She whipped around to face Kagome again, her face reddening with rage. "YOU LITTLEā¦" InuYasha's fists descended savagely on her back, drawing ten lines of crimson blood down her spine. Atma literally howled in pain, and jumped high into the air, landing at the opposite end of the clearing.
"That's it!" She declared. The sky, already darkened slightly by the smoke, grew boisterous and cloudy. "I came here for a purpose, and now it's time!" She declared. The clouds grew black, and lighting began to crackle. She turned to InuYasha. "You must now face me!" She declared. "The ancient wyrm of darkness." As she said the words, lighting struck her wingtips, coursing through her body, and shattering the ground at her feet. "Can you protect those you love?" She demanded of the hanyou-turned-youkai. She straightened her back, stood tall, and snapped her wings out regally. Her hair whipped about her wildly as the wind rushed through the clearing. She held up on hand, palm outward, with her thumb, index, and middle fingers up, and the others folded down. "Are you strong enough?" She roared above the fury of the wind, the ruble of the thunder, her voice echoing throughout the very earth, and hell was unleashed onto earth.

I'm sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but it's just a perfect cutoff for a cliffie! I sort of wanted to finish up the fight with Atma in this one, but it was just too good of a cliffhanger to pass up.
