Mitsukai: *falls off the couch in shock* She made me evil?! She made me evil!! WHY?!
Me: ^^;; It was...necessary?
Mitsukai: -_-! Necessary?!
Me: O_o;; Now, now, Kai-chan....no need to start looking at me like that....
Mitsukai: *evil aura* You want to make me evil, do you?! I'LL SHOW YOU EVIL!
Me: OO; Uh...Kai-chan?
Mitsukai: *growls* I already paid you back for the pocky! What more do you want?!
Me: ^_^ I want a pony and a thousand million billion dollars and the rights to all anime and manga and a black Volkswagen Beetle nicknamed Deathscythe Herby with flames on the sides and flame-patterned front seats and one skull on each of the backseats' headrests and anti-lawyer protection and a motorcycle and the schools destroyed and lots and lots of pocky and candy and sugar and yummy food and-
Mitsukai: *slaps a hand over her mouth* Shuddup!
Me: ^-^ Well...you DID ask what I wanted....
Mitsukai: *falls back into nice, non-evil aura Kai-chan* And I fell right into THAT trap....*rolls eyes and goes back to sleeping on the couch*
Me: *sighs in relief* Oh yeah, and just to see how many of you read my author notes, I have something to ask of you: In your review, say the words 'I want my own anime bishie'! Then I'll know. Kukukukukukukukukukuku......
Mitsukai: Oh God...that is SO lame.....

Chapter 16: A Battle to the Death and the Downfall of the Smurfs!
(Let Me Hear a Cheer!)
It...couldn't be. Kai-chan couldn't have just turned evil like that. There must be some reason as to why....!
Kagome looked on helplessly as she heard those evil words come from the mouth of the boy she regarded as her brother. He couldn't have been evil the whole time. He just couldn't.......There was no way he could have been tricking her, he saved her life! Doesn't that count for something?! Then why does everyone seem to think that he is totally evil...?
"Aw, Inuyasha, are you not going to even draw your sword?" taunted Mitsukai, laughing mercilessly, "I don't find much amusement in victims that won't even fight back! Oh well, I'll kill you fast, and then get rid of your little friends. Maybe *they'll* put up a fight!"
Inuyasha growled angrily, reluctant to go into battle. He had no choice but to retaliate, however, as the winged boy suddenly sprang toward him with amazing speed, lashing out with his huge weapon. Inuyasha just barely dodged, feeling the cool metal graze against his right cheek, slicing off a few strands of his hair in its path. They came to a stand twenty feet from each other, in a face off, with the worried companions standing off to the side.
"Mitsukai! I'll be forced to hurt you if you keep this up! I would've killed you by now, if not for Kagome's attachment to you! I'll give you a chance to walk out of here alive and in one piece," Inuyasha warned, shifting slightly so as to find a better attack position.
Mitsukai just grinned venomously, flexing his dark and light wings, and raised his eyebrow, "Really, Inuyasha? You think that you can beat me that easily?" He brandished his weapon tauntingly, "Bring. It. On."
With a roar, Inuyasha lunged at the teen, attacking with such ferocity that Mitsukai was hard-pressed to dodge in time. He didn't move fast enough though, surprised as he was. The tip of Tetsusaiga managed to cut through the top of his demon wing, causing him to hiss in pain and fury. "You'll pay for that one a thousand-fold, mutt!"
"Bring it on," Inuyasha mimicked.
"You are *so* going to pay!" Mitsukai hissed again.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"You and what army?" Inuyasha taunted, much in the same way as Mitsukai.
"Me and THIS army!" yelled Mitsukai as he attacked swiftly, plunging the long sword deep into Inuyasha's left arm. Inuyasha growled, and took the opportunity to strike a heavy blow to his opponent's chest.
They jumped apart again, coming to a standstill once more, sizing the other up. Mitsukai's wing was still bleeding, and he seemed to be wheezing slightly as he rubbed his chest irately. Inuyasha had grabbed his arm, checking to make sure it wasn't severely damaged. Thankfully, it was only a superficial wound.
"I have to admit, that was a strong blow, mutt," muttered Mitsukai.
Inuyasha grunted, "And that attack wasn't so bad either, Daemon."
Mitsukai looked almost like his old self for a minute, puzzled, "Daemon?"
"Yeah. It fits. You sure as hell ain't an angel anymore."
Mitsukai just glared, "Well, when I'm through with you, you won't resemble anything even remotely human!"
"Oh, would you rather I call you Kai-chan?" Inuyasha smirked.
"That's it, you are so dead, mutt!"
And once again, the two jumped at each other, each aiming similar attacks.
"Kaze no kizu!"
"Jigoku no hi!"
From Inuyasha came the blinding yellow light of the Wind Scar, and from Mitsukai came the dark fiery flames of the 'Fires of Hell.'
The two attacks met simultaneously, and the force of their meeting created a large explosion, flinging both fighters backwards a couple of feet. The comrades on the side watched helplessly as the two proceeded to kill each other.
"We have to do something," Sango ground out in frustration as Mitsukai once again went on the attack, forcing Inuyasha to dodge to the left and throw out his sword to deflect the blow aimed at his head.
"There is nothing we can do," sighed Miroku, also wishing that he could help in some way.
"Kagome! Kagome!" Shippo cried, tugging on the hem of Kagome's skirt, "What's wrong with Uncle Kai-chan?! Why is he acting like this?!" His eyes tearing up, he let out a sniffle, watching morosely as Mitsukai gained the upper hand in the fight for the time being.
Kagome could not seem to respond at all, her throat constricted at the horror of finding that her own adopted brother, the golden-haired, kind-hearted person who never would do this, had transformed into this...this...this creature before her. This two-sided demon of light, per se, this evil being who seemed to be consumed with hatred. Even his aura had changed from the light, dancing colors of various blues and golds and whites, into dark black, with strands of electric red and purple shooting through its dark depths.
He wasn't an angel anymore.....only a demon. Inuyasha was right; he truly was evil. The purity gone, vanished, taken over. It was almost too much to bear. She stared hopelessly at him, believing that he truly was gone, when suddenly a small patch of white broke through the darkness, only to be engulfed again. But it was there, covered up, being oppressed, but still there. She stared for a full minute, willing hopefully for her eyes not to be deceiving her. There! There it was again! Her eyes took on the determined glint of one who would do whatever it took to complete the task assigned. Her mission: Bring back Mitsukai to his old self.
Seeing that the two fighters had taken sides of the field again, she dashed forward, stepping in between them, throwing her arms out protectively. Standing in front of a shocked and wounded Inuyasha, she stared resolutely at Mitsukai, who seemed to be amused at this little display of defiance. She could see his lips twitching in barely suppressed malicious glee. Check that, he wasn't bothering to hide it anymore as he smirked venomously at her and Inuyasha. Kagome steeled slightly after seeing that smirk, and met with his eyes with equal intensity, forgetting that he could kill her relatively easily.
"Is there something you wanted, wench?" he asked, sneering with mock politeness, something the real Mitsukai would never do, "Women are not needed in this fight. Go back and watch from the sidelines."
She didn't hear a word he said, knowing that they weren't really his.
"Mitsukai! Please! Listen to me!" she shouted, "I know the real you is in there, being controlled! Fight it, Kai-chan! You must fight it! For me, and for your sister, and for you!" She desperately hoped that her plea had made it to him, to Kai-chan. Her companions were standing there in surprised, not knowing how to deal with this situation. Shippo didn't really know what Kagome was doing, but prayed that it would work anyway.
At her plea, both of his eyes widened in shock, the blue eye showing recognition and determination, the red one showing anger and hate. "How dare you speak to me in such a way! For that, you will most surely die!" He snarled, lunging at her.
"Kagome!" shouted her comrades. Inuyasha dashed forward to deflect the attack aimed at her, successfully managing to knock Mitsukai through the ground. The boy lay there, stunned, at having been hit so severely. His whole chest was riddled with cuts, and his left arm seemed to be broken. But still, his crimson eye showed no pain, only fury. The sapphire other, despair.
"Kagome, what are you doing? He can't be reasoned with! I'm sorry, but I *have* to kill him! There's no other alternative!" explained Inuyasha, readying to attack.
"Inuyasha! Matte! Wait!" she cried, but too late.
"KAZE NO KIZU!!!!!!!!" he roared, attacking at the fallen boy.
Mitsukai looked up from his hole in the ground, just in time to stare straight into the roaring flame that came raging at him. He flinched back, knowing that he couldn't escape, when suddenly a shining arrow came through the Wind Scar, heading toward his chest. It struck the dark pendant that hung there, before giving off a bright blast that left everybody blinking their eyes furiously to dispel the temporary blindness. In that one second of time, the Wind Scar also hit.
And when the dust cleared......there was no sign of the boy but a small, many colored crystal attached to a golden chain lying on the ground.....
************************************************************************
Mitsukai: *wails* She killed me!! She killed me! NUUUUUUUU!!
Me: ^_~ *mutters* Finally!
Mitsukai: But I'm too cute and sexy to die!! NUUUUUUU!!
Me: *facefault*
************************************************************************
Sesshoumaru blinked his eyes to clear away the sleep, waking back to the land of the living. He saw Neko-chan curled up to his side, and briefly thought about pushing her off. Nah. He'd save that mean of a joke for later. Rin was *still* asleep on his other side. Go figure. It seems that all of her hyperness had just....disappeared.......YES!!! Hell *has* frozen over people! Kouga was across the room, staring at him with one eye, still in a meditative pose.
"So," started Sesshoumaru, "Thought of any plans yet?"
"I think that we should just wait for Kagome and the others to come back," stated Kouga, "They shouldn't be gone too long. Kagome will be wanting her kitten back." He snorted, chuckling slightly.
"For now, let's just recuperate our strength. That cat's gonna tire itself out at some time or another. Patience would be best now."
Sesshoumaru nodded, falling back into sleep, Kouga soon following him.
Oh, the horrors that lay in store for them.....
************************************************************************
Mitsukai: *still crying about how he's dead*
Me: Shuddup already! Anyways, I'm kinda at a standstill for those trapped four, but in the next chapter, something REALLY big will happen! So be happy!
Mitsukai: You made me evil, and then you killed me! T_T You're...you're...you're not very nice, are you?! On first impression, you seem to convince everybody that you're a polite, sensitive, smart and kind girl, and then, once you've gained their trust, you turn EVIL!! EVIL I SAY!!
Me: And your point is????? Also, guess who makes their cameo? I'm taking liberties with this idea, so Saturn, you shall have short hair, because I'm following the character from your fic. ^_~ Her true identity is yet to be revealed though....Don't you just LOVE creative licenses? She has a different background, to make it fit with the fic. Don't worry, you'll understand sooner or later.
************************************************************************
The four (five, if you count Kirara) congregated around the deep hole, slashed with claw marks and even a space where the ground seemed to had fallen out into one of the Smurf caverns, staring forlornly at the broken piece of chain on the ground. Kagome slowly walked toward it, head bent, crouching down to pick it up. She had hoped that her plan would work, but it didn't. Mitsukai was dead. She couldn't save him. A few stray tears slipped from her eyes as she hung the chain around her neck.
Inuyasha stared sadly at her, "Kagome---gomen nasai. I'm so sorry, I-"
Kagome stopped him with a mourn-filled glance, "It's okay, Inuyasha. You had no other choice."
And with that, she headed straight for the Smurf den, before smiling weakly at them over her shoulder, "Kai-chan would probably call me an idiot for being sad. He wouldn't want me to be. All I know is that right now, he would want me to squish those 'little tone-deaf buggers' flat. So come on! We're going Smurf hunting."
Her companions grinned a little at that, a sad grin though. They trotted after her, making their way to the tall red wood tree that housed the entrance to the Smurfs' caverns. The sadness could come later; right now, they had a jewel shard to retrieve.
************************************************************************
It took quite a while for the companions to navigate the many twisting halls, caverns, corridors, and chambers of the Smurfs' lair. It took even longer for them to figure out that they were heading into a trap. By then, it was too late....
Kagome cried out desperately as she saw Inuyasha go down, gripping his ears in pain. Her own ears were throbbing too, for the music of the Smurfs was the cause. Miroku had sucked up HUNDREDS of the creatures into his Kazaana, and yet they still came. Sango and Kirara were attacking from the air, whilst Kagome and Inuyasha were working side by side to blow their enemies away with combined attacks.
"Inuyasha! Are you okay?" she asked, concerned, as he stubbornly got back up.
"Yeah, yeah, Kagome, I'm fine," he reassured, leaping back to her side. He seemed to be dragging a bit though, his limbs heavy with weariness.
He really needs a motivator, Kagome thought, something that will get his blood pumping....A very good idea came to mind. Moving up behind him, she whispered something slyly into his ear, and in a heartbeat, his energy was restored. He attacked with renewed vigor, swinging the Tetsusaiga like a mad-man.
During his attack though, he didn't notice that Tetsusaiga had hit some kind of shrine that the Smurfs had, until it was too late. With a flash of light, the chains surrounding it were broken, and to his consternation, something appeared from the gathered light. Check that, two somethings. Two someONEs, actually. A girl and a boy, to be precise. The girl blinked dazedly, looking around in confusion. She had mid-shoulder length black hair, and wore a pair of dark purple hakama (those baggy pants things), along with a lavender tank top. (^^;;) Her companion, a boy with the same lavender hair, wore black hakama, with a short-sleeved VERY dark purple shirt. The girl blinked again, and then realized that she and her friend were hovering a couple feet above the ground teeming with little blue creatures.
And then she realized that she was falling.
SQUISH.
She daintily lifted her boot up, making a disgusted face at the squished blue figure under it. "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....yuck."
For the moment, everyone seemed paralyzed, just staring at the strange girl and her silent companion, who had managed to get down from his lofty position in the air without any complications.
She lifted her eyebrow quizzically, "Um...hi?"
Whhhheeeeeee!! Chaos again! Fun fun! The Smurfs were attacking again, and the two visitors fell right into fighting mode, one using the sword that was strapped to his back and the other using a rapier-like weapon. They cut and hacked, and hacked and cut, working in tandem with Inuyasha and the others. Finally, after nearly twenty minutes of this exhausting full-force attack, there was only one Smurf left.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, "That's it! That's the Smurf with the Shikon shard!"
"Where is it?" he questioned.
"In its little white hat! Cut off the hat, Inuyasha!"
To the newcomers, this couldn't have sounded stranger.
With a wild slash of his claws, the little white hat was cut off, and the Smurf ran around panicking, clutching the top of its bald little head and shrieking. Inuyasha, in irritation, kicked it straight through the rock wall. Needless to say, it wouldn't be getting back up.
Kagome carefully stepped over the masses of dead Smurfs, picking up the Shikon shard and purifying it. She sighed in relief. That *had* to be their hardest confrontation yet. Now she just wanted to go home, cuddle with Inuyasha, and mourn the loss of her adopted brother privately.
But, as always, there were complications.
"Sorry to interrupt, but who are you, and where are we?" asked the lavender-haired boy, looking at them curiously.
"Er......."
Oh booyyyyyyy, THIS was going to be a lllllooooooooooonnnnnngggggg day.....
