Chapter 14
Full Demon
"Kagome!" Kagome was suspended in the air, the light of Sessho-Maru's sword cutting into her.
"Inu- Inu-Yasha..." Kagome muttered before her eyes fluttered closed. Suddenly there was another flash of light and Kagome was thrown backward. Inu-Yasha jumped forward and caught Kagome in the air.
"Damn you Sessho-Maru." Inu-Yasha landed back on the ground lightly and set Kagome down at his feet. Sessho-Maru stood calmly, his sword still outstretched in front of him. "You'll pay for that!" Inu-Yasha Ran at Sessho-Maru, pulling Tetsusiaga from its sheath.
"Fool. You cannot win." Sessho-Maru's voice was calm, cool. Tetsusiaga and Tokijin clashed, with sparks flying. Inu-Yasha ground his teeth together as he pushed harder, making Sessho-Maru take a step back.
"Kagome, can you hear me?" Sango and Shippo knelt down at Kagome's side. The hanyou moved her head slightly and opened her eyes.
"Inu-Yasha?" Sango shook her head at Kagome's words. Miroku ran up to the three.
"Even now, Inu-Yasha having surpassed his father's strength, he can be little more than Sessho-Maru's equal in strength." Kagome sat up, easily pushing past Sango and Shippo's hands.
"Inu-Yasha." Kagome watched all of Sessho-Maru's movements as Inu-Yasha prepared to run at his brother again. 'It's always the same...' She thought as she watched Sessho-Maru step into the same stance; his back turned away from her and Inu-Yasha. "Got it." Kagome got on one knee.
"Lady Kagome?" Miroku looked down at her. Blood dripped down her face and bare arms and legs. She grinned and tensed her muscles, getting ready to run at the right time. "What are you—" Kagome was gone in a flash as soon as she saw her opening.
"Hu?" Sessho-Maru glanced sideways as a blur caught his eye. Sessho-Maru held Tokijin up to block Inu-Yasha's blow with Tetsusiaga.
Kagome flashed to Sessho-Maru's side and snapped her arm forward, dragging her claws down Sessho-Maru's shoulder and arm. The youki dropped his sword and arm back to his side as his sleeve began to turn red with blood. He turned his still calm face to Kagome, crouched down on the ground a few feet away from him. She smiled at him as if she knew something he didn't.
Inu-Yasha stood staring at the scene before him. Blood ran down his brother's hand, sword, and pooled to the ground. A puddle of blood slowly began to grow at the sword's tip. 'Kagome...?' He silently thought to himself.
Kagome slowly stood up. She would have no other chances for a surprise attack; the youki knew she couldn't be let out of his sight. Inu-Yasha closed his half open mouth. "Who are you girl? You look like that human girl my half-breed brother would travel with." Sessho-Maru sniffed the air lightly; she was half blood, not human.
Kagome smiled at the youki evilly. "You want a fight?" Kagome showed Sessho-Maru her claws, still bloody from her blood; and his. Sessho-Maru stepped so his body was facing her.
"Not with you. I have come for Inu-Yasha's head and the sword." Sessho- Maru brought his arm up to his chest before sheathing Tokijin again. "You are merely in the way." He flexed his claws.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha took a quick step forward, but Kagome and Sessho-Maru flashed forward toward each other before he could stop her.
Miroku and Sango ran up to Inu-Yasha. Kagome and Sessho-Maru were nothing but flashes in front of them. "What's going on?" Sango turned toward Miroku with her question.
"Don't ask me." As the monk answered as he met Sango's gaze.
"She's enjoying this." Inu-Yasha muttered absentmindedly. He couldn't take his eyes off of the scene in front of him. He could see the enjoyment on Kagome's face as she stopped momentarily. Sango looked at Inu-Yasha's face. She could not place the expression he wore.
"It's like himself." Sango turned back to Miroku at the sound of his voice. He kept his voice at a whisper as to not disturb Inu-Yasha. "He sees Lady Kagome like this; he sees himself in full demon form." Sango turned back to the fight.
Kagome swerved around to Sessho-Maru's unprotected side, coming to a quick stop only long enough to slash out at her opponent. The youki jumped back and away from the young hanyou. Kagome stopped and fell to one knee; her breath coming in sharp gasps.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha jumped forward, only to be stopped a foot behind Kagome by a wave of fire. He turned his face to the sky. A three eyes ox and an unbelievably old man floated down toward him on a cloud. "What the hell are you doing old man?!" Toto-Sai turned to look at Inu-Yasha instead of the fight going on the other side of the fire he had just made as his ride landed.
"Lord Inu-Yasha!" Myoga jumped off of the ox's head and onto Inu-Yasha's shoulder. "What happened? Why is Lady Kagome fighting your brother?"
"Humph." Inu-Yasha turned his head away before squishing the flea demon. "It doesn't have anything to do with you." Inu-Yasha opened his eyes, worry clearly visible in them, and watched Kagome through the flames. 'Be careful...'
