AN: Hello again everyone, just throwing up my traditional youkai lawyer
scrolls *slap slap* There, that should keep them off. I don't own, rent,
lease, or profit in any way from Inuyasha or the other characters, if only
for the pure pleasure of being able to enjoy their world week after week.
*sob* Something I won't be able to do all summer, because I must return to the land of limited internet. Yes minna, after the 20th of May, I will be back in Italy submitting to the will of my parents for my yearly summer visit.*le sigh* I promise to try and have Cry done before I go, but if I don't, I hope you will all forgive me for my very very rare and sporadic postings till August.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter, and any fighting aficionados I hope you won't be angry at me. I have only about 1.5 years of TKD under my belt, and no sword experience, so I had to go on instinct and logic. My neighbors must think I'm nuts cause for the past two nights I've been practicing with a stick on my balcony, experimenting with different moves, to see which ones flowed the best, and would work ^_^ Yes, I am that dedicated!
On another sad note, I JUST saw the preview for Inuyasha 3 due out in December *sobs* Which means I won't get to see it for another year!! And.it looks so incredible!!
Review comment time: ^_^
Lunatic Pandora : True, human Inuyasha would be mincemeat against the youkai Inuyasha, however I hope I've worked that out a little. You see, since they're not really complete entities at this point, they're lacking in their normal strengths. Inuyasha has Tetsusaiga but can't transform it, and the youkai can fight, but doesn't have all of his strength. Does that make sense?
battousai-heart: I'm sorry about the cliffy, but it was taking me so long to work out the fighting scene, that I didn't want to make everyone wait for that, so I tossed them 11 to quench their hunger for a little ^_^ After 106, I don't have the spirit to write any more cliffy *sobs* That was the purest evil cliffhanger!!!
Dark Moon: Well, I'm glad you're enjoying the story! I wasn't originally going to make this story this long, but it kind of evolved on its own.
Amargo Scribe : Awww, I'm glad you like Cry. I didn't think I could top Summertime, but I'm glad you think I have. I'll try and not let you down.
The Perpetually Hyper One: *blinks in utter amazement* You certainly live up to your name, don't you? Never let it be said that your reviews don't surprise me every time!! Poor Inu-chan and Kenshin-san (and I think I have all the right endings on those, cause technically Inuyasha is younger than I am *if you don't count the 50 years* and Ken would be either my age or older *anyone know for sure?*) I digress, but for two men, having to deal with that hell for a week. Well, if you guys need refuge from the onslaught, my door/window/tree in my back yard is always open ^_^ And see, I remembered to do review comments this time ^_^
Forsaken1: Thank you oniichan, and don't worry, your favorite person will be making his appearance soon. LOL
For the record, when I say Inuyasha, I mean the human half, and the youkai is the youkai half. To make things a little clearer, I hope.
Okay, on with the show!!
Inuyasha's heart was racing in his chest, but he tried to keep it hidden from his face. Cool and reserved, like my brother, he forced his thinking to be such. Confident, cool, sure of himself.
Oh yeah, easy to be confident when you're a full demon with poison at your disposal, he thought sarcastically and fought the idea from his mind. Just in time, the youkai ran at him claws bared. Inuyasha barely managed to get out of the way, brining Tetsusaiga up defensively as another deadly claw swiped at him. He quickly ducked a blow towards his head, bringing the sword around for a quick slash to the youkai's side. It was nimbly dodged.
Of course he knows my moves before I use them, he's me!
The human Inuyasha dropped to his knee, swinging his right leg out to catch the youkai's heels, tripping him. He twisted his wrist, pointing Tetsusaiga downwards, and pushed it down with all his might. But the youkai was expecting this, and rolled out of harms way. Both fighters jumped to their feet, the human Inuyasha swaying slightly, obviously being the weaker of the two.
Inuyasha charged forward, bringing the sword up over his head, bringing it down towards the youkai.
The youkai only sneered and brought his hands up, catching Tetsusaiga blade in his hands.
Damnit, thought Inuyasha as the youkai's foot connected with his stomach and kicked him back. Inuyasha fell hard on his back as the youkai charged him. Inuyasha brought Tetsusaiga up and ran it through the youkai's' shoulder. Piercing hot pain shot through his shoulder as well, as he pulled Tetsusaiga back, his opponent staggering back in surprise. Inuyasha reached over, and gingerly touched his wound, staring at the blood that lingered on his fingertips.
We bear each others wounds, he thought to himself, Damnit, that's going to make things difficult.
Grunting he stood, facing the youkai who also seemed hesitant to attack.
It must have realized the same thing.
The standoff seemed to last forever, both fighters waiting for their opponents move. Inuyasha could see Kagome standing off to the side, and even without his demon senses he knew she was worried. Her hands were clenched to her chin, and her eyes were large, watching them both.
I hate the fact that she's right, damn her, we really can't live without the other. It needs me to stay alive just as much as I need it. I don't suppose I could talk it into a compromise. He glanced at the youkai, who growled at him, but still didn't attack. No, I guess not.
Inuyasha felt a wave of dizziness come over him, and he pressed his hand to his shoulder. The bleeding hadn't stopped yet. He didn't have much time left.
AN: I apologize for such a short chapter, my muse is on vacation and I'm having a difficult time with this chapter, so please have a little patience with me!! And for those of you who have asked for the sequel for Summertime, I'm slowly working on it as well, I'll try to have some of it up before I fly!
*sob* Something I won't be able to do all summer, because I must return to the land of limited internet.
