Yu's 'Tetsusaiga' flew forth at Inu-Yasha while she sat motionless apart from him. She watched on while her half-demon opponent braced for her attack, a look of determination stuck to his face.
Inu-Yasha dove at the 'Tetsusaiga' and slashed at it with his own. The force bounce him away with a loud 'Twang' as he regained his footing and waited for an opportunity to strike. "This isn't gonna be easy." He thought glancing over at Yu who seemed further away that before "If Yu does have all this infinate knowledge and power, what chance do I have of beating her? I'm really gonna need an idea quick or I'm gonna be screwed."
The floating blade sailed at Inu-Yasha once more in full force. He leapt over the sword and slashed with absolute precision, but couldn't land a blow against Yu's weapon. Instead, the 'Tetsusaiga' swung around and slashed into his exposed arm, spilling blood on the pure white arena floor.
"Tsk, tsk, Inu-Yasha." Yu said mockingly as he clutched his forearm in pain. "I really expected more from you. For such a powerful half-demon with the weapon you hold, you still stand no chance against me. I might as well kill you right now if you're not going to pose a real challenge."
The 'Tetsusaiga' aimed itself at Inu-Yasha once more. "But if I die, you won't exist Yu." He called to her "I die, you die, remember. Your life relys on mine."
A dark light laugh came from his advisary as she listened on "Inu-Yasha you fool, I control every aspect of time, space, reality and illusion here. I can easily find another person to tie my existance to. It would be like you never existed."
The mighty fang flew at Inu-Yasha once more, but now, anticipating another strike, he jumped straight up and slashed downwards, dividing the 'Tetsusaiga' in two. Yu looked on in shock while Inu-Yasha jammed his sword into the ground, Yu would be next to taste it's steel.
"My poor 'Tetsusaiga'!" Cried Yu looking at her destroyed sword. The two even parts glided over to her and she took them in her hands. "What have you done you filthy half-breed! You've destroyed my glorious weapon."
"I guess you're not as good as you thought." Inu-Yasha said smuggly as he watched Yu grieve over the broken weapon. "Do you want to go on, or do I have to kick your ass now?"
Yu snickered. "You fool, did you really think this will slow me down? I said it before, and I'll say it again, I control time, space, reality and illusion here." She jammed the two pieces of the broken blade together which instantly repaired. "A broken sword is nothing to fix for me. And now because I'm really pissed off that you'd even try to do such a thing..."
Yu tossed her 'Tetsusaiga' straight into the air where it hovered for a moment, then became blurry. Inu-Yasha watched on as the sword seemed to split into multiple images that reflected each other as they folded off the original. Then the became clear, six of them, six 'Tetsusaiga's at Yu's disposal.
"You can't do that!" Inu-Yasha yelled outraged by what he saw. "It's like... like..."
"Like cheating, Inu-Yasha?" Yu cut in. "Well, now you've got a lot to contend with, six copies of the 'Tetsusaiga' and myself, a being of infinate intelligence. You may as well give up, you don't stand a chance."
Inu-Yasha regripped his 'Tetsusaiga' and waited Yu's onslaught. "I'd die a thousand deaths to save Kagome, I'm fighting on no matter what the risk!"
He jumped at the blades and thrust his 'Tetsusaiga' at them. The six seemed to create a gap that Inu-Yasha just fit through, then, with one swift move, they all struck him from behind at once, slashing his arms, legs, and back. Inu-Yasha fell limp to the ground.
The loud clatter of his blade was followed by Yu's laughter as he lie in an ongrowing pool of his own blood. He could feel his life pouring out of him by the second as Yu began to speak, knowing he had only moments to live.
"Inu-Yasha, you foolish half-demon. Even if you were a full demon, you would not have survived any longer. I can see you're in pain, and can hear the silent screams of agony in your mind. I hate to see my relatives suffer, so please, allow me to do away with you once and for all."
There was a unified stabbing noise as a sudden and cold pain ripped through Inu-Yasha'a body. He did not need to see what had happened though, he already knew. And Yu knew since she watched as all six 'Tetsusaiga's thrust through Inu-Yasha's back at once.
Yu callously wiped some of the blood off of her robe that had spattered on her during the strike. "Inu-Yasha. I am a god here. It's my world, you just lived in it."
She went to leave, but then a miraculous thing happened. Inu-Yasha twitched, then moved ever so slowly, first his arms, then his legs, bringing him to his feet. Yu watched on in horror as he gained balance, all six 'Tetsusaiga's piercing his chest, blood still pouring in vast amounts from the wound.
"What is this!" Yu yelled infuriated by what was going on "I killed you, those 'Tetsusaiga's impailed you in the horrific manor I aimed them!"
Inu-Yasha took a weak step forward, then knelt down and took his sword in one hand. "You said it yourself Yu. You're a god here." He grabbed the point of one of Yu's 'Tetsusaigas' that jammed through his chest, and with one mighty squeeze, shattered the blade effortlessly. The others shattered identicly afterwards, and Inu-Yasha stood there, as powerful as ever. "And if you're a god here, that means I can be too."
"No! You lie!"Yu yelled, a look of fear in her eyes "I am all powerful, I wielded the 'Tetsusaiga' when I walked through the rift!"
"And so did I!" Inu-Yasha yelled back "Did you really think I wouldn't figure out a way to use this power like you? Man, you're stupider than I thought."
"Inu-Yasha, wait, we could use this world together and bend time to however we feel like. Kagome could be alive and I'll get whatever I feel like too, it's win-win for the both of us." Yu pleaded. "You want Kagome to be alive right? We could make it be! We can do this together!"
Inu-Yasha glared at her coldly "Nothing you can say is gonna change what you've done to me, my friends, and Kagome. Now it's time to shine, I'm gonna take what's mine while you burn in my light!"
He jumped at her and swung the 'Tetsusaiga' overhead at her. Yu caught the blade, but the force carried the two several hundreds yards until they halted at what seemed to be a barrier of the world. Inu-Yasha stabbed past Yu and cut the barrier open creating a vortex that tried to draw the two in.
Yu, unfearing, dove into the wormhole, leaving Inu-Yasha behind. Inu-Yasha was hesitant for a moment. If there was one thing he knew, it was that big dark vortexes were usually bad, but seeing no other way out, followed Yu and soared in.
There was nothing. Nothing but a void. White in all directions. No beginning or end. As if nothing at all existed. This was nowhere.
"Hello?" Inu-Yasha called. "Man, I feel like I've been here before."
There was the slam of a door and he swung around to see what had happened. A familier oak door stood a distance off. He instantly recognized it, the door of the scrye. But how had he gotten here now?
Inu-Yasha opened the door with ease releasing a trunade of papers that scattered all over the place. It was mass chaos as he stepped in and looked around, there was the same desk from before, and once again sat the writer at it.
"Sit down!" the Scrye yelled. A chair flew at Inu-Yasha and seated him, then dragged itself before the desk where it rest.
It was then Inu-Yasha noticed it, the other chair beside his that held Yu. The two struggled for a moment to attack each other, but neither could lift a finger to grap their weapons. Both quickly gave up and looked at their host.
The Scrye was in an absolute panic as he wrote a line then tossed the paper into the flurry around them, a frustrated look on his face. The paper flew in a maelstrom of chaos as the Scrye added to it by the second with every sheet her tossed. It seemed to just jumble in the air as he continued to write inside it.
"I hope you two are very happy! You've ruined everything!" He yelled "My life's work destroyed like nothing else because of you two. It sickens me to think that this world may go to waste because of your greedy intentions! You Yu simply want to control it all. Well listen up sister, that's my job! So stay the hell out and leave it to the professionals!"
"Well, she's getting what she deserves." Inu-Yasha thought as a smug look crept onto his face, but it was quickly wiped off as the Scrye turned to him then,
"And you Inu-Yasha. First off just handing over time to Yu, then trying to take control of it to save Kagome! Unacceptable! Controlling time and space is not a god damn game! By saving a life, you open up a whole pandora's box of chaos! This is not a toy, it is a science and art!"
The Scrye slammed down his inkwell pen into the table, a single sheet of paper underneath it as he looked up at the two once. "Now listen you two. I am extrordinarily angrey at you both. My world lies in ruins and I'm down to my last page that ties in the rest of all history, but if I'm not nothing, I am fair. And I am something so I must be fair."
He glanced at the pen, and sighed while the two listened on. "I have enough ink to tie together reality, but I don't know who to grant this final page and ink to, so I'm going to let you two decide, right here, I my office. To the winner, everything. To the loser, they shall lose everything. I hope you both understand, it's everything or nothing now. There have been many battles between you two, and this shall be your last I hope you understand."
The two chairs rotated to face each other as the papers swirled all around them. They slid back a bit and Yu's eyes met Inu-Yasha's, the intensity clear in her. Inu-Yasha could feel the 'Tetsusaiga' in his claws, either of them would taste blood this day.
The Scrye climbed up on his desk and stood there, the pen and paper below him for the victor. "Upon this final fight between you to, I wish you both good luck and to provide me with some entertainment. To the winner, all of time is at your command, and you shall drink the wine of victory from your opponent's skull. And to the loser, the bitter taste of defeat shall linger with you unto and throughout your death. For now, there can be only one victor."
Inu-Yasha and Yu began to twitch, they could feel the Scrye's mental bonds becoming looser by the second. This match would quickly start.
"PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE FINAL CONFRONTATION!!!"
