Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha… Everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting to but a girl can dream can't she?
Kagome trembled as she aimed directly at Tyronos' heart.
"Could you do it? Honestly, do you think you could kill me?" Tyronos boomed with a slight chuckle. This caused Kagome's face to harden in determination and to pull the string on the bow back even farther.
"If you aren't careful my dear, you'll break your bow before you try to fire that thing!" Tyronos teased with a smirk. This infuriated Kagome to no end and she fused the arrow with as much miko energy as she could without collapsing. When she was satisfied with the amount of pure energy flowing through her arrow, she let it fly. She smiled triumphantly as the arrow sailed right into her target, causing him to scream in agony.
"Kagome stay behind me now please!" Miroku pleaded as he pulled the girl behind him to protect her from the now furious Tyronos.
"I told you! You cannot destroy me with these measly arrows!" Tyronos bellowed as he pulled the arrow from out of his chest with a wince. Kagome gasped as she witnessed this. No one had ever withstood one of her purity arrows before!
"That isn't possible…" Kagome whispered to Miroku who was thinking along the same lines.
"You are both fools! Did you not wonder how I came back in the first place? Are you that moronic that you didn't figure it out by now?" Tyronos taunted them, causing both Miroku and Kagome to tense up in rage.
"I'll give you a hint, what is it called when a person, or demon cannot be killed no matter what weapon is used against him?" Tyronos asked them like children as he kneeled down so he was only 30 feet taller than them.
"Immortality…" Kagome whispered
"BINGO! 10 points to the pretty raven headed girl!" Tyronos exclaimed with a smile. He jumped to his feet, causing the earth to shake under his weight.
"That's impossible!" Miroku exclaimed with a look of terror on his face.
"Not really, no." Tyronos said lightly as he tapped his chin pretending to be deep in thought.
"How on earth do you think I managed to survive this long? I've lived on earth for over 3 millennia!" Tyronos revealed with a deep chuckle. Kagome was glaring once more and her mind was going a million miles a second, trying to devise a plan to destroy Tyronos. Suddenly she gasped as she realised what they needed to do.
"Miroku! Can you handle him by yourself for a little while? I need to tell Inuyasha something!" Kagome whispered in the monk's ear, receiving a nod. Kagome gave him a reassuring smile that told him that he would be fine no matter what and sat on the ground to meditate.
When she awoke her friends surrounded her. She sat up slowly and searched frantically for Inuyasha, who she found to be sitting right beside her looking extremely shocked.
"Did you kill him?" Inuyasha asked, but seeing the terrified look in her eyes he knew they hadn't.
"Inuyasha! I need all of you to help us! All of you must try as hard as you possibly can to join us in Miroku's mind… we need your help. He's immortal." Kagome explained breathlessly.
"He's WHAT?" Inuyasha demanded, causing Kagome to pinch the bridge of her nose in annoyance.
"He's immortal, and we need your help. Kaede, can you do me a huge favour?" Kagome asked as she turned to the elder miko, who nodded
"Is there a spell or something that can remove immortality?" Kagome asked, praying to every god up there that there was.
"I believe there is child, but I do not know how to perform it…I shall find out though, if it will help ye in destroying Tyronos…" Kaede said determinedly. Kagome knew that she would find a way to do it and she smiled.
"Thank you! Ok you guys, I need you to try and meditate and you will automatically be transferred into Miroku's mind where I'll be waiting, along with a big huge demon. Ok?" Kagome asked, knowing they'd immediately agree.
"We will!" Sango assured her.
"Me too!" Shippo shouted as he jumped into Kagome's arms, knocking the wind out of her once more.
"No Shippo, I need you to stay here and help Kaede, I don't want you to get hurt." Kagome explained to the not so little kitsune who sulked at this news.
"But Kagome!" He whined, earning a bump on the head from Inuyasha.
"Go back Kagome, we'll meet you there." He said with a determined glare on his face. Kagome nodded and lay back down.
She awoke once again in the field of flowers with Miroku standing in front of her, keeping Tyronos at bay with a barrier he had erected.
"Kagome." He said, knowing it was her, but needing to acknowledge her presence.
"I'm back, and the others are coming." Kagome explained, earning a raised eyebrow.
"How will they help?" he asked
"They'll help us kill him once Kaede removes his immortality." Kagome explained
"She can do that?"
"She said there was a way but she didn't know how… she can do it. I know she will…" Kagome said hopefully. Suddenly she felt a presence behind her. She turned around quickly and found Sango standing behind her.
"Sango! You did it!" Kagome exclaimed as she jumped to her feet.
"Inuyasha should be here soon… he was having trouble meditating… I think Kaede might have given him some kind of potion to help him…" Sango said with a giggle. Kagome smiled and pointed out Tyronos. Not that she really had to, since he was the only other one there besides herself and Miroku.
"Sango, meet Tyronos… the real him." Kagome said with a gesture to the tall scaly demon. Sango gasped at the sight of him.
"And we're supposed to kill him huh?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she heard the voice of her favourite hanyou from behind her.
"Hey there." Inuyasha said unenthusiastically.
"Yes that's him…" Kagome said in response to his question.
"Man he's huge."
"Uh yeah you could say that… and you'd be right."
"Has he tried to hurt you yet?"
"No, I tried to hurt him but he hasn't laid a hand on me."
"Good, let's keep it that way shall we?" Inuyasha said with a smirk.
"Miroku, take this barrier down, I want to get a couple shots in before he gets too weak." Inuyasha said cockily, receiving a nod from Miroku, and a glare from Kagome.
"Oh no you don't! He's going to kill you before he gets anywhere near being weak enough to kill!" Kagome shouted with a glare.
"That's ok, I'll get him in the end. Miroku get this stupid barrier out of my face!" Inuyasha demanded and instantly the barrier dissolved before his eyes.
"MIROKU!" Kagome shouted, drawing attention to the group of four, and receiving a glare from Inuyasha.
"There goes the element of surprise I guess." He said moodily.
"Oops… sorry!" Kagome quickly apologized before she was pulled behind Miroku and Sango.
"Sango, I want you to stay behind me too, I won't have you hurt either." Miroku said with a hint of authority in his voice, angering Sango.
"I will not hide behind you like some weakling! I am completely capable of protecting myself thank you very much!" Sango said and she stood her ground in front of Kagome.
"Oh thanks Sango, that makes being in this position all that more appealing." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Oh, sorry Kagome. You're only back there because we can't risk you yet!" Sango quickly explained, receiving an eye roll from her best friend.
"So this is you're real form is it?" The group suddenly heard as Inuyasha sauntered over to stand in front of Tyronos.
"Ah, Inuyasha. I knew something shifty had to be going on when that barrier was erected…" Tyronos said with a lopsided smirk.
"Ya, I'm here and you're going down." Inuyasha said as he withdrew Tetsusigia from its sheath, tossing it onto one shoulder and smirking cockily.
"You do know that you can't hurt me don't you?" Tyronos asked, obviously confused as to why the hanyou would be challenging him with the odds in his favour.
"Yeah I know." Inuyasha said sounding bored. This angered Tyronos and he dove at Inuyasha in an attempt to destroy him quickly as to get at the girl. Inuyasha jumped out of the way of the attack and quickly wind scarred Tyronos, who only grimaced.
"Did you honestly think that was going to hurt me?" Tyronos asked while he rubbed his sore shoulder.
"No, but I'm just getting warmed up!" Inuyasha shouted as he threw another Wind Scar at Tyronos. Tyronos just took the attack and squeezed his eyes shut from the pain.
"That's it, I'm getting really sick of you!" Tyronos shouted and he swiped his 9-foot claws at Inuyasha, who barely dodged it.
"Inuyasha! Come back here! We'll get back into the barrier and he won't be able to hurt you!" Kagome screamed to him from her place behind Miroku and Sango.
"No. I started this, I'm going to finish it!" Inuyasha shouted back to her as he jumped into the air to swipe a Wind Scar at Tyronos' face. The giant demon snarled in pain, only emitting the smallest of screams, not wanting to give Inuyasha the satisfaction of knowing he was hurt.
"INUYASHA! COME BACK HERE NOW!" Kagome screamed desperately, causing both demons to turn around and look at her. Inuyasha had a glare on his face, but Tyronos' face was showing nothing but glee.
"I believe I have found your weakness, Inuyasha!" Tyronos said quietly and he took a step towards Kagome, who was being pushed even farther back by Miroku and Sango.
"You stay away from her you sick bastard!" Inuyasha bellowed, sending a Wind Scar at him.
"MIROKU MAKE A BARRIER! DON'T LET HIM GET NEAR KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha boomed, waiting for Miroku to make a barrier around the three of them.
"INUY—" Kagome screamed, but was cut of by the barrier, so Inuyasha only heard half of her attempts to make him get to safety.
"Now that I don't have any distractions…" Inuyasha said quietly as he lifted the Tetsusigia in the air, preparing for a Wind Scar.
"WIND SCAR!!!!" he bellowed as he sent the attack flying at Tyronos, who screamed in pain before jumping in the air, and slashing his claws into Inuyasha. Inuyasha screamed as the pain hit him like a tonne of bricks.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, not caring that he couldn't hear her while she was inside the barrier. Tyronos laughed and picked Inuyasha up by his neck.
"I may not be able to see your friends but they can see what awaits them when they take down that barrier!" Tyronos shouted at the bleeding Inuyasha.
Kagome was staring in shock at Inuyasha and the tears started falling once more. She screamed and collapsed onto the ground, praying for him to be all right. Sango knelt down to be eye level with her best friend.
"He'll be fine… don't worry Kagome. He's never let us down before so he won't do it now…" Sango tried to assure the crying girl and gave her a hug.
"I just got him back and now I've lost him all over again!" Kagome cried and she pulled her knees to her chest.
"Sango. I'm taking down the barrier. I want you to stay here with Kagome. Keep her safe, I'm going to help Inuyasha." Miroku said calmly, knowing that Sango would agree.
"Be careful." Sango said with a small smile. Miroku took down the barrier and dashed to where Tyronos had just dropped Inuyasha, using his staff to ward off any further attacks. He picked up Inuyasha andran backto where the girls were. When he got back he immediately put the barrier back up. He laid Inuyasha down on the ground, and tapped Kagome on the shoulder to tell her that he was there. Kagome jumped up and crawled over to Inuyasha's side.
"Inuyasha?" She asked quietly as she brushed his bangs off of his face. She gasped when she saw two red eyes staring back at her.
"Inuyasha! NO!" Kagome screamed and she looked around her to try and find the Tetsusigia. It was outside the barrier, at Tyronos' feet!
"Oh god Inuyasha… I'll get it…" Kagome whispered and she bent down to kiss his forehead, receiving a snarl from the one she loved. One lone tear rolled down her face and landed on Inuyasha's cheek.
"Miroku! Take down this stupid barrier." Kagome said in a very low voice, which scared both Miroku and Sango. They had never seen her like this. Neither of them saw that her eyes were fading in and out of focus. Miroku took the barrier down and Kagome made her way towards Tyronos, with her head held up in the air. She stood by his feet and glared up at him. Then she spotted Tetsusigia and dashed towards it, but Tyronos' foot stopped her.
"Tsk Tsk my dear. We can't have that can we?" Tyronos said as if he were speaking to a child. Kagome screamed in frustration and tried to run around his foot, but was once again stopped. She decided this was getting her nowhere, so she figured that she'd go over his foot! He wouldn't be stupid enough to step on his own foot was he?
"Naughty girlie!" Tyronos said childishly, and he picked up poor Kagome by the back of her shirt.
"OWW! Let go of me you dirty rotten demon!" Kagome screamed as she thrashed around in an attempt to break free.
"KAEDE! I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT!!!!" Shippo cried with an enthusiastic jump in the air.
"Good job Shippo!" Kaede said happily as she made her way to where Shippo was dancing around in glee. Shippo handed her the scroll he had found with the spell on it, and Kaede noticed that it was in her sister's writing. She smiled sadly at the memory of her sister and beckoned for Shippo to follow her and help her with the spell.
Kagome screamed and thrashed around, still trying to break free, but to no avail. She was good and stuck and she wasn't getting down until Tyronos put her down, or –god forbid- her shirt ripped off. She was not looking forward to the second option because of Miroku.
"Put me DOWN!" She screamed, earning only a laugh from her captor.
"I will have fun killing you my dear…" Tyronos said slowly, wanting to feel her fear, but his attempts were futile. She wasn't scared of him anymore. She was MAD. She gave Tyronos the dirtiest look she had ever given, and started thrashing around some more. She reached her arms up behind her as far as they would go and she tried to rip the back of her shirt in half so she could keep at least a little bit of her dignity as she fell to her death. She screamed as the back of her shirt really did rip, and she started plummeting to the ground, clutching the back of her shirt closed. As she prepared for the painful impact of the ground, she was suddenly snatched out of the air. It was Inuyasha! Kagome smiled at him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, noticing that his eyes were still a little red.
"Inuyasha?" She asked cautiously, confused as to how he could be helping her while he was in his demon state. The only response she got from the demonic Inuyasha was a grunt, and then she found herself standing behind him as he picked up Tetsusigia.
"Kagome… are you all right?" He asked, pain evident in his voice from his wounds. Suddenly Kagome realised that she was covered in his blood and he had a giant wound going across his chest.
"INUYASHA! You're hurt! Don't… don't move ok?" Kagome pleaded with the injured hanyou, who ignored her concern.
"He tried to kill you… here take this." Inuyasha said as he handed her his outer haori. Kagome took it gratefully and wrapped it around herself like a blanket.
"That doesn't mean he has to kill you though does it?" Kagome insisted and she pulled on his arm in an attempt to make him get to safety.
"I promised I'd protect you and I won't fail…" Inuyasha mumbled as he squared off with Tyronos who was standing in front of him, looking really bored.
"Are you two finished? I would really like to get out of here if you don't mind!" Tyronos said impatiently.
"I'm ready for you…" Inuyasha said moodily as he lifted Tetsusigia over his head.
"WIND SCAR!!!" He bellowed and the attack flew at Tyronos, sweeping him off his feet.
"What? What is going on! That should not have harmed me!" Tyronos screamed incredulously
"Kaede! She found the spell! That has to be it!" Kagome whispered happily into Inuyasha's ear. Inuyasha smirked as he perfected his plan of revenge on Tyronos. First he would kill him, then he would dance with Kagome on his grave! Inuyasha almost laughed at that thought, but turned his focus on Tyronos who was struggling to his feet.
"What have you done to me you pathetic humans!" he demanded
"Oh nothing really, except strip you of your immortality!" Kagome shouted bravely from behind Inuyasha. Tyronos screamed and ran at the pair. Inuyasha immediately grabbed Kagome around the waist and jumped her to safety. As he was putting her down, Tyronos jumped at them once more and slashed through Inuyasha's back, causing the hanyou to collapse on the ground in a puddle of blood.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed as she saw the man she loved fall to the ground. She started shivering at the thought of what might become of Inuyasha now. She reached behind her to grab an arrow out of her quiver, and readied her bow to fire at Tyronos once more.
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!" Sango screamed as she ran to the side of her best friend, accompanied by Miroku.
"Are you all right Kagome?" Miroku asked as he pulled ofuda from out of his robes.
"Yeah I'm fine… worry about Inuyasha." Kagome said quietly, keeping her eyes on her enemy.
"Inuyasha!" Sango exclaimed and knelt down to examine his wounds.
"Sango, Miroku, please take him somewhere safe… I'm worried about him." Kagome said, still keeping her eyes locked on her target.
"No! We aren't leaving you here alone Kagome!" Sango insisted
"Fine. Miroku, you stay here. I can use your spiritual energy combined with mine to kill him, but Sango you must take him to safety!" Kagome said quickly, knowing that Tyronos was getting bored with this and wanted to continue on his quest to kill her once and for all. Sango nodded and pulled Inuyasha with her to quite a distance away from the battle.
"Are you ready now girl?" Tyronos asked with a sneer.
"Uh YEAH! I've been ready to kill you since I found out you were alive still!" Kagome shouted up at the demon, who merely chuckled.
"You may have taken away my immortality, but that doesn't mean you have the power to defeat me, not without your lover boy over there!" Tyronos taunted, causing Kagome to tighten her grip on her bow. Miroku stepped closer to her bow, and attached an ofuda to the arrow that was now flowing with miko energy.
"It may not do as much as you can, but it'll help." Miroku explained and Kagome smiled at him.
"You ready Tyronos?" She asked with a smirk. Tyronos stood his ground and nodded. Before Tyronos had a chance to say anything, Kagome fired her arrow directly at his heart. It hit right on the mark and Tyronos doubled over in pain.
"You shot me!" he screamed as he tried to pull the arrow out of his chest, to no avail. The ofuda was keeping it wedged in his chest. Moments later, he came to the conclusion that he was going to die within moments. He could feel his insides disintegrating. As a last attempt to get revenge he swept his claws toward Kagome, and sliced through her stomach. Kagome screamed and fell backwards onto the ground. Miroku instantly bent down to examine her wound, and in the background he could hear Tyronos screaming in agony as he disappeared forever. Kagome had an excellent view of his last moments on earth, and smiled before she blacked out.
HE'S DEAD!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! Lol what did you guys think? It took me forever to decide on how to kill him…. Originally I was going to have Inuyasha and Kagome combine an arrow and a wind scar to kill him…. But then I decided that Kagome should be able to kill him on her own just because he killed her first! It's a revenge thing… lol well I hope to get some more reviews! Well I'd better go because I'm REALLY cold and I need to get a sweater before I get hypothermia! Lol TTFN!!!
