Chapter 5

The battle waged on, neither side winning, though it seemed that kikyo had the upper hand. That was, until, SesshoMaru joined the battle. Now kikyo was on the defensive. She was running from every attack thrown at her.

Kikyo launched her soul gatherers. Inuyasha easily destroyed them while SesshoMaru launched another attack, she barely managed to dodge that attack. Kikyo did a back flip do avoid the giant boomerang. She then shot an arrow at inuyasha, hoping to hit him but he just deflected it with the tetsusaiga.

The battle waged on furiously for hours on end. They didn't know when it was going to end or who was going to win. SesshoMaru was so absorbed in the battle that he almost forgot that he left kagome's body in the woods. ' Surly she has been killed by a demon...' he thought to himself.

Now that I know

What I'm without

You can't just leave me

Then an arrow pierced kikyo's chest, cracking it in many places. No one knew who fired it except SesshoMaru. "Who?" asked kikyo before the arrow was engulfed in a pink light that traveled through the cracks in her chest. Kikyo then exploded as the pink light completely surrounded her, she turned to ashes.

A blue orb of light floated above the pile of ashes and then it flew into the forest. SesshoMaru quickly followed in pursuit. When it finally stopped, it entered kagome's body. Kagome then fell to the ground. When SesshoMaru came to her side, he found her unconscious.

SesshoMaru lifted the sleeping girl into his arms, bridal style, and flew back to his palace. Leaving inuyasha and the others in the field. As he flew away, he could here the sounds of inuyasha being beaten by his friends. This amused him, very much.
