Dumber then a Moogle ass: Yeah, I dislike Kikyo also, but only when she's trying to take Inuyasha to hell. I like the Kikyo who helps people and is nice.

It was a beautiful morning in the feudal era. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, a youkai was attacking Kaede's village... okay, so two out of three isn't so bad. The youkai in question was a seven-headed snake that spat fire and acid from its many mouths. The villagers were panicking and running for their lives when a loud yell from Kaede's hut startled everyone. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" roared Inuyasha. "SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" The snake youkai didn't look at all repentant, so Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and lunged for the monster. All of the heads lunged for the hanyou with their fangs dripping acid but the hanyou dodged to the side and sliced off the rightmost head. "Keh," snorted Inuyasha, "you're hardly worth my time." His jaw then dropped as two heads grew from the stump of the one he cut. "Okay, maybe I underestimated you," said Inuyasha with a slight smirk. Just before he lunged again, Sango's voice reached him over the sound of the panicking villagers. "Inuyasha, that's a hydra. You have to cut off the center head to kill it," she yelled at him. "Hiraikotsu!" she cried as she sent her boomerang into the snake's many necks. Unfortunately, Hiraikotsu only cut off two heads, meaning they now faced a ten-headed monster. Inuyasha managed to slice off another head and a sudden shout of "Fox fire!" indicated that Shippo had joined the fight. Surprisingly, the Kitsune's attack at the chopped off neck seared the wound and prevented any more heads from growing. Inuyasha yelled to Shippo, "Good job Shippo, just keep up with us and keep doing that."
"Inuyasha, behind you!" yelled Kagome from behind him with Mirouku as they ran up. Inuyasha turned in time to see three of the heads spitting fireballs at him. As he braced for the impact, he saw the fireballs get intercepted by a barrier that Mirouku managed to erect in front of him. Mirouku then whipped out an ofuda and slapped it on one of the heads and bashed the scroll with his staff. The head was crushed but unfortunately, two heads replaced it. Mirouku cursed and leaped back to avoid a retaliatory strike by the youkai. Inuyasha wasn't able to dodge in time though and got bit on the shoulder. Inuyasha felt an incredible pain and recognized the scent of venom on the snake's fangs. "Damn, Mirouku, this thing has got poison that might be stronger than Sesshomaru's," he yelled. The monk's eyes widened at this, since Inuyasha was only able to resist that poison for a short time. Inuyasha punched the snakehead that held him and leaped back from the monster. ::I've only got one chance to attack before my strength gives out:: he thought as he felt the poison rushing through his body. ::I had better make it count! I just hope the Kaze no Kizu is strong enough, this monster isn't using enough youki to make the Bakuryuuha effective.:: With that, Inuyasha yelled out "Eat this, Kaze no Kizu!" as he swung the Tetsusaiga along the scar of the wind.
The energy released by the attack rushed at the snake youkai, tearing into its body and causing significant damage. Unfortunately, the attack just missed the center head because it was protected by all the others. Shippo managed to sear some of the wounded necks before replacement heads grew but he didn't get many. The youkai then whipped its tail at Shippo and knocked him into Mirouku's stomach, effectively taking the fight out of both of them for a short time. The youkai then lunged forward and sank five sets of fangs into Inuyasha who couldn't dodge in time because of the poison in his body. Sango threw Hiraikotsu at the snake hoping to make it let Inuyasha go, but her boomerang couldn't do enough damage. Sango swore as her weapon was knocked off course and crashed into the trees behind the hydra. Her best weapon was gone and she was currently out of her poison gas bombs. Sango then realized that there was a bright pink aura surrounding Kagome.
Time seemed to slow down for Kagome as she saw the hydra lunge at the paralyzed Inuyasha. She saw the fangs pierce his fire-rat haori and sink into his body. She saw the venom flow through the fangs into Inuyasha's body, and she saw his body stiffen into a deathlike pose as the venom took effect. ::No, no, no, no, no, Inuyasha, this can't be happening, please don't die on me!:: screamed Kagome in her head. ::We're mates now, I need you to help me raise Shippo and have more pups, don't leave me.:: Ignoring the fear and sadness roaring through her, Kagome reached into her quiver and pulled out an arrow that she strung onto her bow. The bow and arrow started to glow with the pink light of her miko powers as she prayed, ::Kikyo, give me your strength to save my mate!:: she begged. Suddenly, Kagome seemed to feel another hand holding her own and Kikyo's voice echoed in her head ~Focus on the opponent, don't worry about what will happen. You have all the time in the world to shoot, so make it count. Take a deep breath and keep your aim true.~
Kagome did as Kikyo instructed and took aim at the center head of the hydra. Se felt unusually calm thanks to Kikyo, but a small part of her was still trying to panic because Inuyasha wasn't moving. Kagome overrode that panic and focused on her powers. A pink aura started to form around her, glowing more brightly by the second as she aimed at the hydra. As Kagome felt the energy around her focused in the arrow reach it's peak, she released the arrow yelling, "Aigyou-nagareboshi-suisei"(loving meteor comet) and the arrow flew towards the hydra as a blazing comet of miko and youkai energy. The arrow struck the center head and seemed to engulf the entire monster in pure white light. The hydra screamed and released Inuyasha as Kagome's attack purified and destroyed it. As soon as it was gone, the whole group ran up to Inuyasha.
Kagome frantically checked for a heart beat and found one, but it was faint. She quickly picked up her mate and rushed back to Kaede's hut. ::Don't you dare die on me Inuyasha, I still want to have lots and lots of pups with you.:: she thought as she ran into the hut. "Kaede, Inuyasha has been poisoned by the hydra that attacked the village." she gasped as she set Inuyasha down by the fire. "I'll see what I can do child, but thee must rest, I saw how much of ye power ye put into that attack." replied Kaede as she picked up some medical herbs from her supplies. After a few minutes of examining the wound and applying herbs, Kaede's face grew solemn. "I'm afraid this poison is to strong for my usual remedies child," she said with a tear coming from her eye. Kagome gasped in horror and all of her friends had a look of sadness on their face. Shippo was sobbing on Inuyasha's chest, crying, "Outo-san," over and over again. Kagome felt like she might faint.
~Kagome, listen to me! There's a chance your power can heal him!~ Kikyo's voice once again filled Kagome's head. ~Concentrate on just purifying the poison, and not Inuyasha, like this.~ Kagome then saw a picture of what Kikyo wanted here to do and turned her focus to her mate's body. ::I can see the poison spreading like a black stain through his body:: she realized. Kagome placed her hands over Inuyasha's heart and started to concentrate. A soft blue glow grew from her hands and spread over Inuyasha until he was glowing completely. Kagome envisioned his body without any of the black stain of the poison in his veins, and the poison slowly faded away in the face of her power. After purging Inuyasha's body, Kagome placed his head on her lap to keep him comfortable and keep a cool cloth on his forehead to fight the slight fever he had gotten from the poison.
