Disclaimer: I don't own them…yeah…oh, I also hate Kikyo, I mean, she can be cool sometimes…but she's evil! And DEAD! Sorry if there's any Kikyo-lovers out there…
A/N: Ok, I feel I need to explain something. I mentioned a few chapters back something about Sesshomaru being the lord of the Western Lands. I want to explain that a bit more. Ok, After Inuyasha's mother died (of natural causes), Inutaisho passed the ruling duties to Sesshomaru. Then, many years later, the humans decided to overthrow the demon lords. I might do a story on that…but I'm not sure. If you want me to, I will!
Kagome smirked at Kikyo's words. So, she thinks nothing can beat her, eh? Well, I'll just have to prove her wrong. Kagome starts throwing blow after blow of purification energy at Kikyo. "How long can you keep up that barrier, Kikyo? It seems to be weakening…how sad." Kagome smiled again, she was beginning to enjoy defeating her cousin!
Kikyo frowned. Her barrier was starting to weaken from Kagome's frequent blasts. She didn't know how many more of these she could take before it gave out completely. She then decided to get out her last defense against both of them, the one thing that could protect her. "Well, if that's how you are going to fight, then I'll just have to bring in the one person you both cannot kill!"
Sesshomaru sneered. He cared for no one, and no one cared for him. At least that's what he led himself to believe. But he didn't expect the person that Kikyo was talking about would be the one person he cared about the most.
Kagome gasped when she saw Inuyasha walk into the room. His eyes were totally blank, and they both knew that Kikyo had him under mind control. She knew that neither she, nor Sesshomaru could kill Inuyasha.
"So, How do you like my new puppet? Isn't he great?"
"Kikyo! How could you do this? Don't you love him?!" Kagome asked.
"Of course not fool. He was just a pawn, like I said earlier. I care not whether he dies or lives, unlike the two of you. Yes, my plan is foolproof, is it not?"
"Damn" Was all Sesshomaru could say. He couldn't think rationally, either. He drew Toukijin (spelling?) and charged at Kikyo, swinging his sword around wildly.
Kagome drew back, frightened. Why was Sesshomaru fighting back with such ferocity? Did he really care that much for his brother? She didn't know, but she had to protect Inuyasha. She put a barrier up around Inuyasha, but it was quickly broken, by Kikyo's arrow. Kikyo smiled as her arrow pierced the shell of the pink orb, causing it to shatter.
"Got any more tricks up your sleeve Kagome? 'Cause you're gonna need 'em!"
Kagome's power flared with her anger, and she threw all of the power at Kikyo. Kikyo's face fell for just a moment, before she closed her eyes and made Inuyasha come in front of her. Kagome's eyes widened and she drew the blast back to her, so it wouldn't hit Inuyasha.
Kikyo just laughed. She knew that Kagome and Sesshomaru were defenseless, so she decided to take her leave of them, to go wreak havoc on the world. She called a demon to her window and she made Inuyasha go onto the demon. Before climbing on as well, she said "I'm sure we'll meet again, but next time I won't be so easy on you." She finally got on the demon and flew off.
A/N: Ok, yeah, sorry if all these new chapters are getting short, I'm trying my best! Yeah, school just started. I've got homework from the very first half-day! Oi, well, I'm in for a fun year! ack...anyway, don't forget to review! Stay Tuned!
