The Final Showdown, the Sixth Chapter
At the end of the last chapter... if you remember...
*"Okay, you win let's go," InuYasha says with a very defeated look on his face. Kagome likes this; she rarely ever sees that look on his face.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the field...*
And now the Sixth Chapter...
Finding that Kenshin has a problem is difficult for Kaoru, who has been searching since she realized this a little before dinner time, and much more difficult is just figuring out what that problem is; in Kaoru's mind it could be anything InuYasha is getting on his nerves, wants some, or just wants to be alone (as she is thinking this Kenshin randomly runs off into the forest), she then yells out, "Kenshin!" (as she is yelling this, she starts to cry and think to herself, "Why is Kenshin doing this," and she just wants him to tell her what is wrong to if she can she can try to help heal the wound). Kenshin is going into the forest because the one thing he can control is coming, the one thing he wishes was inside him no longer, the one thing that eats at his soul like fire and makes him evil; he is becoming the one that even he fears, the Mejii Revolution fighter, Hitokiri Battousai, the greatest fighter of the Mejii Revolution. He does not want to hurt Kaoru, Kagome, or, for a matter of fact, InuYasha, so he has run into the forest fearing the Battousai, and he has a strange premonition that enemies are near; strong enemies that he has fought before and has thought long dead, and one that he has never felt the presence of before, he thinks that maybe InuYasha has felt the enemy before, and InuYasha has. Kenshin feels as though Battousai is coming out soon, and though he wishes to stop him, he knows he can not, at least not this time; he had not noticed that Battousai was trying to come out until he and InuYasha were about to call it a day of fighting, that is why he was passive at dinner, or more passive than he usually is, which as Kaoru knows is not very passive at all. Kenshin starts to think to himself, "Battousai is coming out and he wants two things; one is to kill, the other is to get some with Kaoru; that is why he knows he can not go back, because what if Battousai's mind got messed up and combined the two, that would be horrible to both Kenshin and Battousai, and also for Kaoru, being killed by the one that she loves so much. So therefore I can not go back not for anything in the world, unless I know that I can I can control him who is truly stronger than I am (Kenshin then starts to cry and then at his weakest moment it happens, the one thing that he did not want to Battousai comes out, his hair is now Blood Red and his eyes are Amber, though Kenshin is now fighting to get back control over his body, he knows that it will take awhile, but Kenshin knows that he does not have that much time before Battousai might do something stupid)." Kenshin, currently, only holds enough of his mind to restrain from going to the campground where Kaoru sits; he knows she is crying for him, but there is nothing that Kenshin can do to stop Kaoru's crying, or at least not if he is Battousai. Kenshin tries in vain to try to relinquish Battousai's power over his body; he knows that Battousai will not leave until he is ready to, or he wants to, or Kenshin somehow overpowers him, which currently is not going to happen. Battousai starts to cry, but then realizes that Kenshin is trying to take him over, but Battousai also knows that he will not let Kenshin do this, so he instantly stops crying and starts to laugh (inside Kenshin is crying harder, but since Battousai is stronger the tears never see the light of day, or night).
Kaoru does not know what is happening, so she runs into the forest after Kenshin not knowing that he is not Kenshin but Hitokiri Battousai (she is crying her distinct tears). As Kaoru is running she is screaming in an exasperated voice, "KENSHIN, KENSHIN, KENSHIN..." she can not stop yelling his name, but that is her problem; Battousai hears her yelling and instantly knows where she is and starts to run with god- like speed to where she is and suddenly Kaoru, somehow, senses him and steps out of his way (if she did not she was going to be tackled) and realizes that it is not Kenshin inside his body, because she sees the glowing amber eyes, and runs quickly away, but not quickly enough as Battousai has already caught up to her after recovering after the failed tackle; he tries to tackle her again, but again she somehow steps out of the way and then she yells out, "THANK YOU, KENSHIN!" she somehow knows that Kenshin is making Battousai miss his mark (after saying this Kenshin regains a lot of the body that is the difference between him and Battousai and Battousai is angry, he yells loud enough for the whole world to hear); with this Kagome and InuYasha both wonder what is going on over there, and start to be suspicious that Kenshin and Kaoru are not doing the same as they are. Kaoru is still running, to InuYasha and Kagome's campsite nonetheless, and she is dodging Battousai left and right (Kenshin is stopping Battousai from pulling out their sword or tackling Kaoru), Kaoru is yelling for InuYasha, Kagome, but mainly for Kenshin, hoping that he will come back out of the evil Battousai's mind set and into the Rurouni that she fell in love with so long ago. She is close to the campsite of InuYasha and Kagome when they start to get up, and get ready to fight; InuYasha knows his duty, to get Kenshin back to normal without harming his body, or getting himself hurt; it is about midnight now and InuYasha is about ready to get to sleep. Kaoru runs through the line of the forest and just as she is InuYasha grabs her and puts her into InuYasha and Kagome's tent; right after that Kenshin breaks through the line of the forest and is meet by Kagome, who is just trying to fend him off until InuYasha comes back; Kenshin is starting to make Battousai weaker and weaker knowing that when he gets over half his mind away from the Battousai he can control his actions and Battousai will subside to his usual state of less influence on the mind of Kenshin, that Kaoru holds most dear to her. InuYasha is half toying, half fighting with Battousai, somehow InuYasha knows that the longer he "fights" with Battousai the sooner Kenshin will come out and take Kaoru back to the other camp. InuYasha taunts Battousai by saying, "What is that all you got?" InuYasha knows that this will make Battousai mad making it easier for Kenshin to take over, somehow he does. Battousai then yells at him, "Shut up and draw your sword, or die where you stand." InuYasha smirking at him says, "To fight you I do not even need a sword; I will only use my hands (but InuYasha has claws for hands so it is pretty truthful, though he said some of that only to annoy Battousai)." Kenshin, somehow says past Battousai, "Good going InuYasha, you are making it much easier for me to take over, that you are." Then Battousai yells out, "Do not listen to him. He is only telling lies and he does not know what he is talking about." InuYasha senses the fearful tone in Battousai's voice and says back, "Then why are you so fearful, are you afraid of ME? I mean weak, wimpy ME!" InuYasha continues to say random things about how weak he is and how he should already be dead and so forth. Battousai can not stand it anymore and yells, "OKAY, INUYASHA, YOU WIN! YOU CAN HAVE BACK KENSHIN!" Then Battousai subsides from Kenshin's body, and, at least for today, has made Battousai go back into him. Battousai grows weaker and weaker every time Kenshin overpowers him, and Battousai is now growing very weak in Kenshin.
Kenshin then goes to InuYasha and nearly falls on him saying, "Thank you InuYasha, for doing what you did to help me fight away Battousai. I really do not want to fight you, and I have a strange feeling that enemies are close; one that I know and one other that I have never felt his presence before (as he is falling InuYasha, who is being nicer than usual, catches him and sets him down on the ground)." InuYasha then says, "HMM, I have smelt one before, but the scent is too far away for me to tell. Though I think I might have an idea of whom it is that is coming."
While Battousai and Kenshin, with InuYasha, were fighting Kaoru and Kagome were talking semi- casually. "What was going on Kaoru?" Kagome asked in a nice voice. Kaoru says back, "Kenshin has a dark secret that he tries to keep locked away from the world. Did you ever learn of the Mejii Revolution in History or something, you said you were from the future right?" Kagome says questioning, "Yes, or at least I think I did. Why do you ask?" "Well," Kaoru says, "Kenshin, also known as Battousai the Manslayer, was the greatest fighter of the Mejii Revolution. He was the reason that the Mejii government was started and stayed afoot for as long as it did." "OH," Kagome says with a gasp in her voice, "So Battousai is Kenshin's manslayer inside of him?" "YES," Kaoru says surprised, mostly wondering about how she figured it out so quickly, "How did you figure it out so quickly?" "Umm..." Kagome says, as she thinks for a second, "InuYasha does the same thing, except it is when he is about to die and loses his sword the legendary, Tetsusaiga; InuYasha turns into a full demon, full of lust, but only for killing. He can not control the lust for killing at this time and he will kill anybody, friend or foe." "OH!" Kaoru says, with an astounded look on her face, and in her eyes, "So could InuYasha beat Kenshin?" "Umm," Kagome says, wonder in her eyes, "I do not know, I guess it would be an even match if InuYasha was a demon against Battousai the manslayer. Though that would be horrible for us, both our husbands fighting to kill one another; I would hate to see the sight of that, that which would tear my soul out of me and wave it in front of me as it is laughing at me." Kaoru ponders for a second waiting to digest what Kagome has just said and then says, "I see what you mean; I would hate it as well if our two husbands fought to the death unmercifully." At the hearing of this they both sigh and give each other a friendly hug of assurance (THEY ARE NOT LESBIONS).
After the "fight" every one walks out to the middle and stands completely silent for a few minutes until, "Umm, Kenshin and Kaoru could you leave, PLEASE?" InuYasha asks, nearly begging and pleading. "InuYasha," Kagome says, "SIT!" Yet again InuYasha is on the ground mumbling and nearly crying because of the pain he is in. "They are allowed to stay until they want to leave. You were being very inconsiderate InuYasha," Kagome says scolding him like one would a dog. "We would not want to impose," Kenshin and Kaoru say, in unison, "We will be going now, that we will." Then they walk back into the forest, hand in hand. "LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!" suddenly Kagome looks much bigger than InuYasha in his eyes, "WHY DID YOU MAKE THEM GO AWAY LIKE THAT?" Kagome asks and yells at InuYasha. "Well the night is still young and," BOOM. InuYasha is on the ground again mumbling and crying in anguishing with lamentation for his pain. "Just for that, I am going to sleep; good night InuYasha." "Kagome wait."
