Finally they'll face Naraku… will Miroku win his battle?
Chapter 18, Miroku vs. Naraku
Naraku smiled, and Miroku prepared to fight.
"What ever happens to me, don't let him get Tetsusaiga. He would be unbeatable with it." He whispered to Kagome.
"How sweet, defending friends into the end. And that end will come to you very soon." Said Naraku and attacked. Miroku sidestepped and tried to hit Naraku with his staff, but missed. Naraku turned and attacked again, but Miroku couldn't hit him even this time.
Kirara tried to attack too, but Naraku lift his hand to hit her with a spell. She couldn't move anymore.
'Man, he's speedy!' Miroku thought when he missed one more hit.
"Miroku! Aim to his stomach, I can see jewel shards there!" Yelled Kagome.
"Right!" Said Miroku, and when Naraku attacked, he managed to hit him on his stomach. Naraku moaned in pain and ran farther off.
"Damn. You figured it out." He mumbled, holding his stomach.
"Never underestimate us!" Yelled Kagome with a grin on her face.
Naraku smiled evilly and lift his hand, and there appeared a pike to his hand. "Now I have a weapon too."
"Be very careful!" Kagome yelled to Miroku.
"It's easy for you to say..." He mumbled, when Naraku attacked again. The pike and the staff hit each other, and Naraku managed to hit Miroku's staff hard. It flew away and Naraku ran to catch it.
"Damn!" Cursed Miroku.
"You have no weapons anymore. This battle is mine." Said Naraku, holding Miroku's staff.
Miroku smiled. "Don't be so sure. WIND TUNNEL!"
Wind Tunnel didn't have an effect on Naraku. He just smiled and started to jump around. Miroku tried to suck him in, but he always moved elsewhere. Suddenly he appeared behind Miroku and attacked at top speed.
"Watch out!" Kagome yelled, but too late. Naraku's pike hit Miroku on his left side. He yelled in pain, fell to his knees and closed his Wind Tunnel.
"Miroku!" Yelled Kagome and was about to run to him, but he stopped her.
"Don't come! Just don't let him get near Inuyasha." He said and stood up, with painfully look on his face.
Naraku smiled cruelly and dropped Miroku's staff. "Still want to fight?"
"I'll never give up. After what you did to my family, I can't let you get away." Miroku said. Naraku attacked towards him, but he sidestepped, grabbed his staff and hit Naraku on his back. Naraku fell down, but stood up quickly. A shooting pain forced Miroku onto his knees.
"You're pretty good, monk. But it's not saving you." Said Naraku and attacked again. This time he hit Miroku on his shoulder. Kagome shouted in shock, when Naraku hit last time. The pike's blunt top hit Miroku on his head before he managed to turn around, and he lost his consciousness and fell to the ground. Blood started to split from his wounds.
"Miroku!" Kagome screamed.
Naraku smiled cruelly and started to walk towards Kagome. She grabbed her bow and aimed to Naraku's heart.
"I'm warning you! Don't come any closer or I'll shoot!" She said bravely. Naraku smiled and continued to walk towards her.
She had started to shake, and she hit her arrow. It made a small scratch into Naraku's cheek.
'Oh no! I missed!' She thought and raised her hand to take another arrow, but Naraku hit her on her face. She fell to the ground and watched in shock, when Naraku raised his pike to hit her.
Poor Miroku, wounded again. And what'll happen to Kagome…
