Chapter 5
"So the first pair to fight will be Keiyou and Ashi. Fight to the death, or until someone surrenders. Ready?"
Keiyou and Ashi stood in the starting circle. They both looked at Takai and nodded.
"Then...go!"
Keiyou took off as soon as Takai said, "go." Ashi stood and watched Keiyou fly around. Inuyasha and Kagome were startled. They didn't expect anyone to be able to fly.
"How can he fly?" Kagome asked Takai.
"Don't you know that this tournament isn't just humans? These people come from everywhere, and I mean everywhere! They're pretty strong, too."
Kagome stood next to Inuyasha as Ashi continued to watch Keiyou fly in circles over his head. Both Keiyou and Ashi seemed to be planning something. Finally, Keiyou dived down, and in the blink of an eye, Ashi had dodged him and appeared over the bloody form of Keiyou, who had been hurt from the impact of the ground, and from the quick punches from Ashi as the crossed paths.
Kagome shuddered, and Inuyasha blinked. Neither of them had expected that. Apparently, neither had Keiyou.
Ashi landed next to Keiyou, who lay motionless. Takai started counting.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. The winner is Ashi!"
Instead of being happy, Ashi just muttered, "Waste of time..." as he walked by Kagome and Inuyasha. Takai helped the barely conscious form of Keiyou into the bus, which was the form of transportation to Yakuzai, the planet where, every year, the injured fighters were healed.
"You can pick your next opponent, Ashi," said Takai.
Ashi looked around. He looked at each person carefully, as though he was picking a meal from a menu with nothing but broccoli on it. Then he spotted Inuyasha, and his expression changed. Inuyasha, unlike the others, was obviously not human. Ashi wanted a challenge, and surely this dog boy would offer more than the weak humans would.
"I'll fight you next!" he declared, pointing at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha and Kagome both gasped at the same time. This was completely unexpected. Inuyasha was the first to recover of the two.
"Alright. It's been a while since I've had a challenge, anyway," he said, smirking.
"Inuyasha, are you sure about this?" asked Kagome. Inuyasha heard the worry in her voice, and wanted to comfort her, but now wasn't the time.
"Kagome, I'll be fine. You know I will."
Inuyasha walked towards the starting circle.
"Ready? GO!" yelled Takai.
Inuyasha had seen much of Ashi's strategy. He knew Ashi wouldn't make the first move. He stood thinking, but kept his senses sharp in case Ashi decided to use another strategy. Suddenly, he thought of a plan!
Inuyasha started running, did a few zigzags, and leapt into the air. He saw Ashi follow with his eyes. He knew it would be close, but he had to try. He ran straight at Ashi. When he was about to collide, he ducked, knowing that Ashi would jump straight up. What Inuyasha didn't know, was that Ashi could read his opponents' moves. Ashi stood his ground, and as Inuyasha ran by, got lifted onto Inuyasha's back.
Inuyasha felt Ashi on his back, and knew he was in trouble. Ashi didn't jump out of the way, and Inuyasha had a very short time to think of a new plan. He couldn't use his tetsusaiga now, because when it transformed, it would weigh him down. He couldn't get Ashi off his back if his sword weighed him down.
Inuyasha was thinking about strategies people in his time used. He thought of Kouga, but was immediately reminded of the way Kouga thought of him as nothing but a mere mutt. That wouldn't help him, unless...
"Hmm." Inuyasha thought. "I am half dog demon..."
Inuyasha rolled over, then continued running. Ashi was crushed into the ground, but quickly jumped up and ran after Inuyasha again. But now that Ashi was off his back, Inuyasha could use the tetsusaiga!
"Wind scar!" Inuyasha yelled, unsheathing the tetsusaiga and attacking in one swift movement.
Ashi was caught by surprise. His hesitation was against him, and he was hit by the attack. He lay motionless for a few moments, but then twitched.
Takai started counting.
"Ten!" Ashi twitched again.
"Nine!" Ashi slightly twitched.
"Eight!" Ashi blinked.
"Seven!" Ashi's eyes began to close.
"Six!" Ashi held his hand up for Takai to stop counting.
"I surrender," he said.
Kagome gasped, then ran to Inuyasha. "You beat him!"
"Duh!" said Inuyasha. "If I had lost, it'd be pretty pathetic."
The next few battles went pretty smoothly, seeing as how the remaining people were humans. A few even left with their injured friends, not wanting to risk their own lives. Inuyasha easily won.
"And the champion is Inuyasha!" announced Takai, though there was no one there but Kagome and Inuyasha.
Kagome ran to Inuyasha and hugged him, and Inuyasha held her as Takai led them to the returning bus.
"Don't forget," whispered Kagome, "I don't like to sit near the window."
"I know," replied Inuyasha.
The bus ride home was very short. When they arrived, Takai gave Inuyasha $1000.
"Yes!" exclaimed Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, you do remember why we did this in the first place, right?" asked Kagome.
"Huh? Oh, yea."
Kagome rode back to her house on Inuyasha's back. They got there within 5 minutes.
"Mom? Grandpa? Sota? We're back!" yelled Kagome.
Sota ran into the hallway, where Kagome was taking her shoes off.
"Hey sis! Looks like you didn't die!"
"Of course I didn't die! I was with Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha blushed.
"Anyway, are you guys gonna go get a new TV or what?" asked Sota.
"Yeah," said Kagome.
"Where do we get a TV?" asked Inuyasha.
"We can go to the electronics store down the street. They should have a big selection!" said Kagome.
Inuyasha looked confused, but followed Kagome out the door. They walked down the street, and finally came to a store that had the word "Electronics" painted in big letters on the window. They went inside, and Kagome talked to the clerk for a minute. The clerk led them to a whole room filled with televisions.
"Which one should we get?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"How am I supposed to know?!" asked Inuyasha, sounding annoyed.
"Well, we could just get the same one we had, but with $1000, we could get a better one."
"Whatever. Let's just choose one and leave."
"Okay."
Kagome looked at the televisions, and picked the most recently made one. She pointed it out to the clerk, and he told her it would cost $950.
"You have the money with you, right Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.
"Yea," he said, and handed it to her.
"If you can get it down, you can take it home now. If not, we'll have it delivered by next week," the clerk told them.
Inuyasha jumped up and grabbed the TV. The clerk watched him, wide-eyed.
"Come on, Kagome. Let's go!"
They left the store, and the poor, surprised clerk, and headed back to Kagome's house. Kagome set up the TV. In an hour, Sota was playing his video games again, and Kagome was taking Inuyasha down to the kitchen, mostly to keep him from trying to kill the TV.
"I'm hungry," said Kagome. "I think I'll have a snack."
Kagome opened the fridge. The light turned on in the fridge, and the fridge started humming.
"Kagome! Watch out!" said Inuyasha. He lunged at the TV, and slashed it with his tetsusaiga.
"Uh-oh," said Inuyasha, "That was just another one of your weird modern machine things, wasn't it?"
"Yes, actually," said Kagome.
"Uh, can the $50 that's left pay for that?" asked Inuyasha.
"Doubt it," replied Kagome. She rolled her eyes. "Where's the newspaper? Maybe there's another tournament going on."
Inuyasha sheathed his sword. After the fridge was replaced, Kagome would never let him come into her time again.
At least, not with his sword.
