CHapter 8: Found (I'm telling you, this story's going to be my death!)

"What the hell is your problem? You come in here, start a fight, fight for a few seconds, then offer a deal or flee. What kind of a fight is that! That's a wussy fight to me!" Inu-Yasha asked.
"Well, it makes my life easier." She drew a sword from midair. "If it's a fight you want, it is a fight you'll get." She waved her sword and the meadow around them disappeared.
Before them was a large arena, dirt, gold made. It was in the shape of an oval, the ceiling reaching as high as the sky allowed it.
"Do you want me to prove to you that I can keep a fight?" Kuro asked.
"I have ta see it ta believe it," Inu-Yasha growled.
"Fair enough," she responded. She raised her hand again, and swiftly brought it down, revealing her cloaked self. "Shall we begin?" She didn't give Inu-Yasha or the others time to answer.
Automatically, she shot a bolt of her lightning at the group. Inu-Yasha deflected it with his Tetsuseiga, but it still wasn't good enough, it blew them half way across the room. Kuro kept striking randomly, each blow more powerful than the next.
'Inu-Yasha,' Toku tried to say to him. 'Why the hell are you still here? Kagome probably needs you.'
"I hate when she's right," Inu-Yasha mumbled to himself.
'That's because I have common sense, retard.'
"Oh, shut the hell up."
'…'
Inu-Yasha needed to make a fast break, but how? There were no exits to his eye, just concrete. Sango, Miroku, and Toku had already picked up the fight, all of them taking fierce blows. Inu-Yasha's mind was tied: help them, or save Kagome.
'Kagome you dumb ass!'
'Shut up, Toku! What the hell gives you the right to help me!'
'The fact that Kagome's in a dungeon and you're standing there looking like a mutt.'
'Excuuuuse me!'
'You heard me right, now go and find her.'
'Okay, first off, I don't-'
'Watch out.'
'Huh?'
Without him knowing, Kuro had shot her black energy sphere. He dodged it, but he ran into another one, which slammed him into a wall.
"What a loser!" Kuro laughed, continuing what she was doing. "You stand there like a sitting duck! If only my other opponents were as dumb as you."
"Vice versa to you too!" Toku shouted. Toku brought her hand together to form a ring of fire around herself. The ring grew wider and wider, until it spread out, farther and farther until it hit Kuro square in the side. She cursed strongly under her breath.
"Inu-Yasha, GO!" she screamed at him. Deciding she was right, he made a run for the nearest exit he finally found.
"He'll never find her," Kuro stated.

Kagome and the other girl had been sitting in darkness for the past hour. They hadn't spoken a word since the girl had spoken about her past. Ri's story made her eerie and uneasy. She didn't speak another word.
"KAGOME!" a familiar voice called out.
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome called back. The girl lifted her head up to see a sword piercing into the chamber.
"How the heck-"she looked at the wall with amazement as Inu-Yasha tried at hacking away the wall.
'That's impossible!" Ri said, dumbfounded. "This is a chamber that no one but the Priestess and Ebiru can get into!"
"Speak of the devil," a voice from behind said. "Who the hell would've guessed that the freak-blooded dog would've guessed where his bitch is?" Ebiru arose from the shadow, in her human attire.
"You take that back!" Inu-Yasha growled, but he didn't wait for an answer. He charged, and a fight broke out.
Ri tried to tear away form the shackles that bound her to the wall. The sound of people's cries and fear had been the only thing she had heard for the time she had been there. She had no idea how long it had been. She had not eaten at all since May. She was surprised she lasted that long and so was the Black Miko. She hated it there and was trying to get out.
"Come on, BREAK FREE!"
A burst of light and she was gone.

Loser me. The next chapter might be the last. And I'm not sorry. I hate my own story.
