I let out a noise halfway between a gasp and a cry of shock. How I managed that I shall never know, as for one you inhale and the other you exhale, but somehow I did it. I had been distracted by trying not to fall off Kirrara with suprize, maybe thats why I can't remember.
Kagome had a bow leveled at the heart of Inu yasha who had just stepped back in shock, his eyes dark and shrouded with his feelings of hurt and betrayal. Just what was going of? Why weren't they fighting Kagura, who was standing right next to them?
"Why are you doing this Kagome?" I cried, a desprate note of pleading in my voice as I sought any explination for this madness.
She ignored me. Kagome, my closest friend, she acted as though I did not exist, merely pulling back the string on her weapon a few inches further before firing at point-blank range.
I screamed.

The drops of power floated around my prison for a few seconds before a marked change came across all of them. At once, all of them began glowing either a brilliant blue-white or a shining soft green. All of the orbs were giving off a light that was so intence that you could not look at them by themselfs, but there were all of them shining together and reflecting off the walls. The light was too bright. It was seering my eyes, even through my eyelids. It hurt.
I thanked the gods when that burning light died down after only one minuate of this torture.
When I looked at the bubbles again they had begun to gather at the top of the room and spin around a shape like two dimonds on top of another and were casting small, hair-like strands onto it. As it grew more and more while becoming more difined as the shape of a girl the blue and green seemed to battle for power in the form, growing and shrinking as they lashed out at another. (A/N: Blue-white=Kagome Green=Kikyou. Got it?) As one gained a brief dominance, small changes were wrought upon the figure. When blue was in force, her hair was shorter and free fowing while when green was, it became longer and was tied back. There were also changes in the outfit, from that of a traditional miko to a thing that looked like that indecent kimono Inu yasha's woman always wore.
When all of the globes had finally spun themselfs into the girl a flash of white that was brighter than the sun at noonday and burned my skin blazed from her. When the light subsided the girl had black hair that was floating around her and looked like Inu yasha's woman, outfit included.
Blue fox-fire surrounded her and she floated down as if she was in water and finally touched ground where she crumpled and fell. I walked over and looked down.
Azure eyes snapped open.

I needed to work on my reflexes. Really. They were not nearly fast enough, as I learned when I tried to dodge that arrow of Kagome's.
Oh, I was fast enought to avoid a fatal blow, certainly, but not fast enough to dodge it altogether. The arrow had ripped clear through my shoulder and all of a sudden I was down one arm.(A/N: Kagome has no soul, she can make no sacred arrows. Make sense?)
Great.
That was just what I needed, to only have the use of one arm AGAIN in a battle with Kagura.
*Sigh* Why do these things always happen at such inopportune moments? It was just what I wanted to have the power of the wind scar cut in half in the middle of a battle against on of the tougher opponents I have had the misfortune to face.
"Not that that shouldn't be enough to defeat you!" I roared as I swung around.
In one fluid movement I cut the string on Kagome's bow, (this being the extent of movement that I could do with my right arm) twirled to face my enemy and cut down with the Tetsusaiga.
"KASI NO KIO!!!"
The wench was actually smiling outright as my attack ripped toward her.
Uh-oh. That was not a good sign.
Just before the wound in the wind reached her she swung around to reveal Kanna.
Nope. Defiantly not a good sign.
I leaped into the air, the sounds of Kagome and Kirrara doing the same ringing in my ears, just as I noticed that Kanna was carrying not one mirror, but 2. Why on earth was she doing that? (A/N: Mirror 1 can do reflecting attacks, scrying, ext., mirror #2 can only absorb souls as it was made for that purpose. That is why she needs 2 mirrors.)
Kagura snickered evilly and flicked her fan. "Good-bye, half-breed."
Man, I hate it when the enemy snickers evilly. It always means something unpleasent is about to happen.
"Inu yasha," came Kagome's blank-sounding voice from behind me, "sit."
See what I mean?
As I was hurtled to the ground and the cutting wind my hands formed into fists. This would hurt.
As I hit the ground my claws dug deep into my own palms and my eyes went blank with pain as the wind scar enveloped me and threw me into the sky again.
Ouchie.
