Chapter 11, A Battle Only the Heart Can See

Inu seemed lost in this place, she had no where to go and plus she didn't know where to go, but there was feeling deep within her soul that told her she had to go this way. Hikari follow behind closely with Foxie in her arms and Stara on her shoulder. Inu wandered for miles hoping to find anyone she knew Inuyasha, Yoko it didn't matter! Only then she would feel at ease. The area seemed endless for them but Inu saw something. It was Inuyasha in a way but Inu's heart said to stay and Inu did almost. Her body just ran to him wanting to see if he was alright.

'Inuyasha! Please be okay!' Inu thought as she ran toward him not expecting him to hit her.

Inu was thrown back sliding on the grass with a red mark on her cheek that was definitely not Inuyasha! Hikari sat Foxie down letting Stara take care of her while going toward now the struggling Inu hoping she was alright. When Inu put her hand on that mark she looked up at him with tears in her eyes somehow he changed...something wasn't right about him.

Inu sat up looking at those amber eyes expecting the truth but it never came that's when she asked, "Why Inuyasha?"

His answer was, "It was Moon Light wish..." then he lunged forward clawing Inu right in the face, knocking her over.

Her blood rested on his claw as he moved forward about to finish her off. Hikari watched in horror hoping she would at least strike back but Inu just sat there with no will to fight not even defending herself against Inuyasha next assault. Her blood was spilled against the grass while Hikari watched on. 'No, Inu you can't give up...please fight back...'

With Inuyasha's last blow Inu fell on her hands and knees coughing. His smile was so sick Hikari could do one thing and that...throwing her half of the Youkai Jewel on Inu hoping that would help Inu fight against this monster of Moon Light's. The jewel just sank into her skin lifting Inu off the ground to see a different fight...a fight within Inuyasha's self. There she witness him fighting something else. Inu now knew what to do she gently touched his chest not afraid if he did slapped her and let the power of jewel go through his body letting Inu's heart see it. In minutes he fell over cuts forming all over his body that haven't been mended in days.

"He has came back...Inu?" Hikari looked over at the now exhausted Inu, hearing her panting praying she was alright.

"...I'm glad but what happens if Yoko is like that...?" Inu took a breath letting Hikari answer.

"You'll just have to witness another battle like that." Hikari had just kneeled down to treat her.

"But all I saw was Inuyasha facing off against Naraku not Moon Light." Inu lowered her ears.

"Look closely next time...or...I will show you." Hikari's voice got harsher all of a sudden.

Inu nodded, "I'll try but the jewel took so much energy to do that I don't think I can do that again..."

"Then let me take on Yoko so you can at least witness a heart's battle..." Her voice softened when Inu tried to stand but failed and fell over.

Inuyasha just opened his eyes witnessing Inu falling over and laughed but his laugh was so full of pain that Hikari raced over treating his cuts when Inu sat up for the second time. He tried to speak but Hikari told him not to. Inu gave him "I'm okay" smirk and stood up again this time she didn't fall.

"Hikari," Inu looked over at her. "Yoko going to be ten times harder than this...I hope we can take him..."

She smiled, "Believe me we can now that you have the jewel we can take anyone."

Inuyasha grinned, "Just don't kill us and we'll be alright."

Inu laughed, "I won't!"

Hikari smiled and walked over toward Foxie kneeling down to pick her with Stara back on her shoulder it seems Stara is more worried about Foxie than Inu is ever going be... Inu looked over and smiled, "Seems Stara is taken by you Hikari."

She nodded, "Yes, she has and how are your wounds?"

Inu shrugged, "Fair...here you show a heart's battle my strength is down to zero..." She handed Hikari the jewel half and basically fell to the ground.

"As you wish..." Hikari smiled and walked forward, letting the Youkai Jewel glow in her hand.

Yoko was approaching ever so slowly toward them with Inu and Inuyasha out of the battle this wasn't going to be an easy battle and Hikari knew that with Foxie sobbing in her right arm and Stara on that shoulder her expression changed. Inu willing took her daughter from Hikari's arms while Stara stayed. Now here is where Yoko appeared his amber colored eyes glared toward Inu with such hate she froze in fear of what he would do with her.

"Yoko..." Hikari got his attention. "Your fight is with me..."

Yoko sneered, "No, my fight is with Inu not you..."

Hikari's soft blue eyes grew very cold the jewel held firmly in her hand. He smirked and walked forward not execpting to see her eyes shift so quickly that the jewel power reflecting her eyes. Plants surrounded her but there was no fear in her eyes and suddenly both Inu and Inuyasha along with Foxie saw the plants go up in flames. The flames reached all the way around Yoko and stopped with him not moving a inch. Inu held her breath hoping Yoko is going to be alright...his heart shown forward a battle raging in it. This was real for Inu and for Inuyasha since they both saw Yoko and Moon Light fight and the black fox was winning. Then Inu eyes flared up with rage and without Hikari noticing her half was glowing brighter than Yoko's half and the flames blow up in the air causing Hikari to step back.

"Inu, what did you do?" Her voice was stammering.

"Hikari I don't know...is it working?" Inu's looked over her.

"Yes, it's burning Moon's Light's soul." She smiled at the sight.

Inuyasha jerked forward. "Look Yoko doing it! Moon Light is losing badly cause his soul is burning away!"

Inu smiled lifting up to see the last of the battle. Yoko's eyes started to soften while Hikari smiled, walking over toward Inu taking Foxie in her arms and looked at Inu who was already standing tears in her eyes. Yoko blinked at Inu for moment and walked over to her with Inu smiling right at him.

"Inu your crying...here let me wipe them away..." He smirked and gently wiped them away, surprised she hugged him her head in his chest, tears in her eyes.

"Aw, Inu has a boyfriend!" Inuyasha shouted out loud causing Hikari to laugh.

Inu blushed, "Heh..."

Stara purred and Foxied smiled while Inuyasha and Hikari were smirking maybe this brought Inu and Yoko closer now than ever.
