"Who are you ? And what did you do to serenity ?!" shouted inu-yasha. "Im Kimori, and thanks to you, me and my allies were able to train your sister. But the only thing that could stop her was pure love, which you gave her. She jumped in the way of the attack, now shes slowly losing life as we speak" said Kimori. Inu-yasha slashed at the vines that were around serenity and set her down.

"Serenity, please wake up !!!" said inu-yasha. Serenity, who was still in her teenage form, moaned and opened her eyes. "She survived the Illusory Death ?!" shouted Taii. "It was a dream..." thought serenity. Inu-yasha helped Serenity stand up and he faced Kimori and has gang. "Time to witness what happens when you try to mess with my sister !!" yelled inu-yasha. "I'll help you inu-yasha..." serenity said weakly. "You cant, your too weak" said inu-yasha. "That how this happened in the first place, you called me weak" said serenity. Inu-yasha nodded. Serenity and Inu-yasha stepped forward.

"Is this how you're going to repay me serenity ? By betraying me ?" asked Kimori. "Shut-up !!! Hearing your voice makes me sick !! I'll make sure you won't live to talk anymore" said serenity as she charged fox-fire energy into her hands. Kimori's eyes glowed and serenity was floating into the air. "The same trick !!" shouted inu-yasha as he ran over to Kimori and punched him in the face.

Serenity fell to the ground and shot her fox-fire at Kimori. "Take that !!!" yelled serenity. The attack reflected back at serenity and hit her. Hinageshi had blocked serenity's attack from Kimori. Serenity transformed into kirara sized version of a demon fox and pounced on Hinageshi. Inu- yasha was busy fighting with Kimori. Kimori was mostly airborne, which was making the fight more difficult for inu-yasha. The fox form of serenity had bitten Hinageshi by his neck, killing him, and jumped over to help inu- yasha. "Out of my way Serenity !!" shouted Kimori as he slashed serenity on her back.

Serenity snarled at Kimori and changed back to normal. "This isn't working...why cant Kimori be harmed ?" thought serenity. Serenity jumped away and ran off. "Serenity !! Come back here and help !!!" yelled inu- yasha. "Theres something I have to do !!" serenity shouted. She ran at speed equal to Inu-yasha and jumped up high into the air and made her slash- sickle appear and she swung it down on the force field that held Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo. The force field broke and she landed to the ground and kneeled on one knee.

"Whats wrong serenity ?!" shouted shippo as he ran over to her. "Im just a bit weak...I'll be ok" serenity said weakly. "You're in no condition to fight now" said miroku. "I have to, inu-yasha barely stands a chance against Kimori, Samajima, and Taii" said serenity. "Your way too weak ! Drop the stubbornness and rest !!" shouted kagome. "I don't know why inu- yasha likes you" said serenity. "Huh ?" said kagome. "Yeah, he likes you. Ever since I met you guys, inu-yasha had always seemed to like you" said serenity. Kagome sighed. "And let me tell you something !! If he dies in this fight because you won't let me help him, I'll hang it over your head for all of eternity !!!" yelled serenity as she limped off. Kagome growled as serenity walked off. "Shes right you know" said sango. "Brat..." thought kagome.

"Ok, this is it ! Im gonna help my brother out. I just hope I live" thought serenity as she braced herself. Serenity jumped back into the fight, armed with her slash-sickle. Taii lunged at serenity with his sword. Serenity blocked and slashed at him with her weapon. Samajima shot lighting bolts at serenity. Serenity blocked them with her hand, using the block technique Hinageshi has taught her. "Little brat !!!" shouted Taii as he sung his sword down on serenity's back. "Aaaaahhh !!!!" yelped serenity in pain.

Inu-yasha looked at serenity, but was kicked in the face and hurled to the ground by Kimori. "Im coming serenity, as soon as I finish off Kimori !!" thought inu-yasha. "Only this will work" thought serenity. She jumped way up into the air. She held her hands out in front of her. "Flaming Falling Star !!!!!" shouted serenity. Her whole body burned with fox-fire and she fell rapidly to the ground like a falling star. When she hit the ground, Samajima and Taii were engulfed in flames.

"What kind of attack was that ?!" shouted miroku. "She said 'Flaming Falling Star'" said kagome. "Kind of a girly attack if you ask me" said shippo. "No one asked you shippo" said sango. Shippo growled at the comment. When the flames from Serenity's attack died down, the only thing left of Samajima and Taii a bit of their clothing. Serenity walked out of the large crater she had made during the attack and fell to her knees. "I never knew that would work...it was just an attack I learned on my own just for fun..." thought serenity.

Kimori was roughing up inu-yasha enough to make Sesshomaru jealous. "Face it half-breed, you can't win !!" shouted Kimori. "Inu-yasha !! Kimori is using jewel shards !!" yelled kagome. "No wonder he's so strong" thought inu-yasha. "How many ?!" yelled inu-yasha. "He has one in each arm, one in his chest, and two in his back !!" shouted kagome. Serenity looked dumbfounded. Kimori was using the jewel shards she had taken from the village. "Serenity is the one who gave me the shards !! So thank her, im going to kill her brother using the power from them" said Kimori with an evil grin. Serenity growled. She sped over to Kimori and slapped him in the face. Everyone was shocked, even Kimori. "That one was for hurting my brother, and this is for using me !!!" shouted serenity as she whipped Kimori into a tree using her tail. Kimori immediately had serenity pinned to the ground with his hand by her neck. "I'll kill you first...dont worry, your brother will follow you" said Kimori. "LET HER GO !!!" shouted inu- yasha. Serenity bit down on Kimori's hand. "YEOWCH !!!" yelled Kimori in pain. Serenity ran behind Kimori and held him with her tail. "Now inu-yasha !! Use the wind scar !!!" shouted serenity. "But you'll get caught in it !!!" yelled inu-yasha. "It's the only way inu-yasha !! Don't worry, I'll be fine !!" shouted serenity. Inu-yasha gripped the Tetsusaiga and focused to see the wind scar. "Let me go Serenity !!!!" yelled Kimori as he tried to escape. Serenity made the grip on Kimori tighter. "Hurry up !!" yelled serenity. Inu-yasha raised the Tetsusaiga and saw the wind pulling together. Then, with a mighty stroke, inu-yasha slashed the wind scar and a golden glow of light appeared and it was going straight at Kimori and Serenity. "Damn you inu-yasha !!!!!" were the last words Kimori said. Serenity nodded and a strange glow of fox-fire surrounded her. When the glow faded and the dust cleared, Kimori was gone, also was Serenity. Inu- yasha dropped his sword. He couldn't believe his little sister was gone.

"Shes gone !!!" cried shippo. "She sacrificed herself to make sure Kimori wouldn't escape the attack..." said miroku. Inu-yasha sat in silence, then something struck his memory. "The glow that surrounded her...was fox-fire, fox-fire has the power to both attack and protect. Serenity's still alive, somewhere" thought inu-yasha. "She'll be back, im sure" said inu-yasha with a smirk. Everyone sweat dropped. "Poor guy...he's gone crazy" thought kagome.

Somewhere, deep in the forest...

Serenity lay up against a tree. Across her chest was a huge slash from not escaping inu-yasha's attack soon enough. "I'll go back to inu-yasha and he others...as soon as im healed" said serenity very weakly.
