Aeiko's Defense

Inuyasha is a little upset by having his brother almost win their battle. He knew it would be risky. He had later kissed Kagome in his human form. But had no idea he did so when he turned back to his normal half demon self.

"Come on Inuyasha... you knew it would happen sooner or later." Kagome joked by the whole incident.

"WILL YOU GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY... I LET HIM WIN!" Inuyasha growled and Sango stepped into the conversation before Inuyasha exploded by anger.

"Inuyasha, your lies make you look like a baby. You can barely fool yourself." Sango flipped her hair and Miroku talked to back her up. Kagome hoped to bring up the Sesshoumaru thing instead of letting him know about his and Kagome's little "moment."

"Inuyasha she is right, your human stupidity is getting the better of your demon stupidity." Miroku folded his hand and nodded his head as a prayer and sighed.

"What's that suppose to mean?" He asked nicely but still a little pushy. Inuyasha sat down on the ground and looked into the sky.

"Only simply you think you are cool because you are part demon but your human half is simply taking your mind." Inuyasha grew big in the eyes at Miroku's comment.

"WHAT??" Inuyasha started running around in circles while hitting him self in the head. Kagome laughed and said his command.

"Sit boy." Kagome said it nicely showing she just wanted him to stop.

"WHAT THE..." Inuyasha started and Kagome repeated the command before he could finish the sentence.

"It isn't nice to swear for one and for two, Miroku was only joking." Kagome smiled and Inuyasha got on his feet quickly.

"I'm gonna kill you Miroku!" Inuyasha cursed at Miroku and started to run. Inuyasha slipped on a rock and Miroku started laughing.

"Yup, that was some good killing." Miroku slurred the "good" and started to laugh harder.

"Miroku, one more comment and I'll tear your face off." Inuyasha threatened and cracked his fingers, getting ready to fight.

"Ok, Aeiko lover." Miroku teased and Inuyasha grew furious.

"What??" Inuyasha sneered.

"Aww the poor puppy is jealous of the big better brother dog's girlfriend... poor thing." Miroku and the others laughed.

"YOU ARE GONNA DIE MIROKU. NEVER CALL ME A PUPPY!" Inuyasha ran at him with red glowing eyes.

"One more move and you'll get sucked into my wind tunnel!" Miroku pulled the beads on his hand and Inuyasha froze in step.

Kagome struck suddenly "YOUR IN LOVE WITH THAT AEIKO SLUT!" Kagome screamed and Inuyasha went to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

"NO... and she would kick your ass any day!" Kagome had made him mad so he tried to make her mad. Kagome freaked at Inuyasha's saying.

"Maybe when hell freezes over!" Kagome screamed and said his command. She picked him up with so much anger and launched him over the cliff they were walking upon.

Sango and Miroku stared at Kagome with fear for a few minutes. They were both afraid to say anything.

"Uhh, Kagome?" Miroku asked innocently and Kagome turned around with a smile.

"Yes Miroku?" She said in an honest voice.

"What was that?" Miroku and Sango asked in unison.

She stared at her hands for a minute. "I don't know... I wasn't even aware I could pick him up." She gasped at her doing. "I hope he's ok!"

Miroku and Sango looked at each other then back at Kagome. "Maybe on the outside... but how do you think his feelings toward you are gonna be?"

Kagome gasped and looked down at the ledge below where Inuyasha lay motionless. She called down a message to him that echoed though out the mountain side.

"Inuyasha!" It echoed "I'm sorry!" It echoed again.

After about 10 minutes Inuyasha got his strength back. He grudged and soared to the top with a terribly angry face on him.

"Kagome!" He demanded. She turned around.

"Oh sorry about that... my bad." She put a fake little smile on her face as she flipped her hand up and down.

"Oh yeah right sorry! You practically killed me Kagome!" He grudged and stepped forward at her.

"Inuyasha, you really know how to hold a grudge you little doggy demon you." She joked and stroked his ears. Inuyasha pushed away knowing Kagome knew he hated people touching his ears.

Inuyasha and the gang walked up the side of the mountain side while no one talked to Inuyasha but Sango. When they got to the top of the mountain Inuyasha caught the scent of Aeiko. He gently tapped his finger at the tetusaiga and it popped out of the sheath a little.

"Their back... I sense them." Inuyasha growled and everyone questioned.

Soon the sky grew dark with red mixed in a little. A giant dragon with two heads approached over the ledge. Inuyasha grudged forward, ready to fight. Sesshoumaru, Aeiko, Rin and Joken were all aboard.

"Sesshoumaru, I knew it was you. I could smell you and that witch of a girlfriend of yours... a mile away." Inuyasha sniffed and Sesshoumaru smiled.

"We are not here to battle you." Sesshoumaru laughed and Inuyasha looked confused. Before he could say anything Aeiko butted in.

"How dare you call me a slut?!?! You wretched human!" Aeiko struck and Kagome took a step back.

Kagome didn't say a word and already started to shoot an arrow at Aeiko. She let go and it cast through the bliss and in between Sesshoumaru's fingers. Kagome gasp because he caught it. The arrow soon melted and Aeiko giggled. She gave you lover a kiss on the cheek for helping her... though she didn't need it.

"You melted it?" Kagome questioned and backed down.

"So, you're an easy competitor. Perfect... I get a break." Aeiko said, Inuyasha stepped in front of Kagome.

"Come on Sesshoumaru, Your battle is with me. Not her, it's always with me." Inuyasha tried to convince him and Sesshoumaru smiled.

"Your right, it is always with you. This time... it's different." Sesshoumaru smiled.

Aeiko pointed at Kagome "It's with her... but it shouldn't take long. Really."

"Fine, I can handle you." Kagome stepped forward getting ready to cast an arrow. Inuyasha shook his head at her stupidity and went and sat with everyone else... staying out of the way. Kagome had been doing really well, she had almost won but then the unthinkable happened.

"Kagome... pretty strong I see." Aeiko said. "But can you handle this?" Aeiko let out a horrid laugh.

Aeiko cast her hands up and clapped. As she gently separated her hands a bright blue ball with electric waves forming around it showed up. Kagome winced at the brightness and cast an arrow... hoping to pop it. The arrow soaked up inside the ball, along with the power inside the arrow. Aeiko cast the ball sending her own strength and Kagome's strength together. They powers hit Kagome and she fell to the ground. Once the blue smoke disappeared everyone saw that Kagome was paralyzed and dying right there. Inuyasha ran to her rescue.

"Aeiko how could you!" Inuyasha struck.

"You stupid mutt, I am in a battle. I will try and kill her." Aeiko laughed at how stupid he was.

Inuyasha called out his wind scar and it went through towards Aeiko and her gang. When the fire and the smoke went away Inuyasha found that they had escaped. Inuyasha quickly ran to Kagome and knelt down. She was dying right in front of his eyes and he couldn't take it. He shook her a little.

"Kagome?"

Inuyasha shook her harder and harder. Soon a light from inside her blew out. Her head flopped over to the side. Inuyasha had thought she died right there. He couldn't hear her breath. She wouldn't move, and her heart wasn't moving either. Inuyasha shook her as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Kagome!!!!"
