I apologize that I have taken so long. With finals and everything I just haven't had time. Jacoby has about killed me several times for not updating. So here it is Jacoby. I hope you are pleased with the way I wrote it down. (Since this whole chapter was your idea.) Hopefully everybody else likes it too. I sure had fun with the idea. Inuyasha and Miroku are so fun to write lines for. Don't really know why, but they just are. I'm glad everybody likes our story so far. It makes me happy. smile Here goes the next chapter.

Ch. 2 The Arrow Fight
"Kikyo . . ." Inuyasha said with a growl.'Oh no! I bet there is going to be trouble.' Kagome thought in horror.
She hated this girl with a passion. Kikyo did everything to make her mad. She had tried to kill Inuyasha and herself so many times.
"What do you want now Kikyo?" the fifteen-year old snapped at the girl she so much resembled.
A cold smile crept along Kikyo's mouth.
"Well it should be obvious. First of all . . . . to kill you. You are quite a nuisance girl and must be dealt with." The girl said blandly as Inuyasha squeezed Kagome's hand to comfort her. "And then to kill Inuyasha and bring him down to Hell with me."
The half demon then stood up in front of Kagome to block her view of the priestess.
"You're not taking either of us! Especially Kagome! There is no way you can beat me Kikyo. I have gotten stronger since you last saw." He said growling again.
Kagome moved so she could see and stared up at the boy she loved. "Inuyasha . . ."
The cold smile still encompassed the resurrected priestess. It made Kagome shiver. She knew something was up her long sleeves.
"Is that so Inuyasha? Haven't you forgotten something?" Kikyo said with a hint of sheer glee.
A deeper growl came as he remembered the kiss Kikyo had given him in front of Kagome and how upset it had made her. Inuyasha was done with this. A choice had already been made.
"Forgotten what exactly, may I ask?" he said.
"Why the sky." The priestess continued.
"What the hell does that have to do with anything?"
Kagome looked quickly at the sky and gasped. Inuyasha pulled her to her feet gently by grabbing her hand.
"Inuyasha the moon!" she yelled.
The hand in hers suddenly lost its claws and became normal fingernails. Its grip was less rough and gentler as was the touch.
Black hair replaced the long silvery white. His eyes changed from yellow half demon to regular human ones.
Inuyasha let go of Kagome and looked down at him self and cursed.
"Damn it to Hell!" he screamed. "Why does it always happen when it's going to be such a major pain in the ass?"
Kikyo's smile never once wavered from her face. Kagome knew then that the girl had been planning this of course. How could she have been so blind?
This was the last straw and if she said one more thing to Inuyasha, Kagome knew she was going to blow.
"Inuyasha . . ." Kikyo said touching the boy's face.
"That's it you witch!" Kagome yelled with steam fuming out of her ears and nose as she ran at the other girl.
The now human Inuyasha slapped Kikyo's hand away and held Kagome back. His face was red with anger.
"I've chosen now Kikyo! Kagome is the one I choose! You and I held something special and I'll never forget it. I loved you at one time and still do, but now, you are not who you used to be. The person you used to be is gone and has been for 50 years."
Kikyo looked taken aback for only a slight moment. It was as if it was sort of a shock. But not completely. Her face regained its composure with the evil smile and blank emotion.
Inuyasha closed his eyes and the wind blew.
"I love Kagome. I realize that now. I have been wrong in playing with her emotions like this."
Kagome's heart skipped a beat again. It still was a shock to hear Inuyasha say that out loud. Especially to Kikyo of all people.
"Inuyasha . . ." she whispered again.
"Is that so?" the priestess smirked showing her white teeth. "Well, I'll just have to change that won't I?"
Kikyo pulled out her bow and arrows, readied the bow, and pointed it at Kagome.
"Fight me Inuyasha or else your new girlfriend dies! It is you first or her! Choose."
"I don't want to fight you Kikyo. But I made a promise to always protect Kagome. And I don't mean to break it!" Inuyasha yelled stepping completely in front of Kagome again. To his surprise he was pulled back and thrown into a bush.
"No Inuyasha! This is my fight!" Kagome yelled pulling out her set of bow and arrows from the well. "We are both going to pull through this alive. I'll make sure of that." She then pointed the bow and an arrow at Kikyo in return.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as the stubborn girl shot the first arrow at the priestess missing her by an inch, "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Your not the only one who is really pissed off by what has been going on. The past few months have been unbearable with her crap but I tried to deal with it as best I could. If I don't fight her I am going to explode. Besides, the truth is you won't be able to kill her because of your past, but I can." Kagome yelled taking another few shots and missing as Kikyo jumped dodging them.
The priestess laughed at the girl's aim and shot at Kagome missing as well.
The real fight began between the two raven-haired girls. They shot at each other like crazy missing every time as another would jump or dodge.
Inuyasha sat there on the ground where Kagome had left him in shock and horror. This was all so weird.
He was about to get up again and protest when he was pulled by his hair behind a nearby tree, just escaping an arrow.
"Who the hell?" Inuyasha turned to see Miroku was the one guilty of pulling him.
"What is going on here Inuyasha?" the monk said dodging an arrow.
The temporarily human Inuyasha blushed and faced the girls with a 'feh'.
Miroku's hand went on the boy's shoulder. The monk closed his eyes and smiled at Inuyasha with great pleasure.
"Oh I get it. Kagome and Kikyo are fighting over you. Too bad everyone else is taking so long to get here. They are going to miss all this."
"So glad you figured it out monk." Inuyasha said angrily.
"No, no, it is a good thing for you Inuyasha. You are very fortunate to have women fighting over you. Trust me."
Inuyasha turned to the hentai monk and yelled at him. "Now you listen here Miroku, I don't have to-Aaaahhhhhh! Stupid freaking arrows!" He now jumped every which way to dodge the now very frequent arrows.
"Why do they keep missing each other?" the monk pondered aloud. "It must be because Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation. Maybe this will make it more interesting."
He stood up and walked over to where the girls were as Inuyasha stared in horror and confusion.
"He loves me now!" Kagome yelled still shooting arrows as fast as she could.
"That may be so, but he loved me first and is coming with me to Hell!" Kikyo followed.
"Ladies, ladies." Miroku said putting his staff up slightly in between them. Both slowed their shooting down a little but kept going.
"Oh great. What is he up to now?" Inuyasha said angrily.
"Inuyasha has informed me to tell you that whoever wins this battle he will make love to tonight. And who ever loses, if they are not dead, gets to bear my child." Miroku continued.
Kagome fell from the tree she was in with shock, turning bright red while she fell and hit the ground with a crash. Kikyo staggered a little and paused. Inuyasha stood up and was more red than all of the three put together.
"When and where did I say that Miroku!? Just tell me that much you hentai!"
An arrow missed Inuyasha by an inch. He noticed it must have been Kikyo for she turned and pointed it at Kagome now.
To Miroku and Inuyasha's horror they noticed that Kagome lay on the ground unconscious. When she had fallen from the tree her head had hit a rock and was now bleeding profusely from the wound the rock had made on her head.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Now she dies." Kikyo said with a smile letting a perfectly aimed arrow go straight at Kagome's heart.
