Kagome looked up, she saw the fox-like features, and reached up to her ears, Marina immediately barked and snapped at her hand. Inu-Yasha jumped up and held a fist in the air. "Watch your demon its dangerous!"

"Don't take that tone with me!" Mikash spoke harshly at him, snapping at him with her acid voice. "As I was saying its very rude to breaks some one's concentration when they are about to attack!"

Shippou looked at the kitsune and was slightly unnerved but at the same time he felt that he knew her. He sat back as Kirara changed into a larger demon form, and Miroku approached the girl who had appeared in front of them. "Now then, you seem like a respectable young lady, maybe we could-" He was cut off by the sharp pain of being slapped.

"WHY YOU PERVERTED MONK!" She yelled as he had grabbed in an unmentionable place.

"Miroku!" Sango scolded him, "We don't want to upset her, and we certainly don't want a fight." She turned to the demon and smiled. "We're sorry to have interrupted something that you were doing, we'll be on our way now, we don't want a fight."

Sesshoumaru was left standing in the burnt down village, Well this is strange… He thought to himself as he began to wander in the direction that Mikash had headed. He saw her talking to a group of people, one of which he recognized as his brother. "Inu-Yasha…" He muttered under his breath.

"Well your getting one weather you want it or not, but I'm afraid you'll just have to wait." She turned around and saw Sesshoumaru standing there. "Because he's first."

Nina growled at the group and held them back as Mikash pulled out her sword, "Where were we?"

Sesshoumaru pulled his sword out as well, "I believe you were going to attack?"

Mikash smiled and surged forward, with great practiced speed and agility. Sesshoumaru dodged the attack, barely, and struck towards her as she passed, he missed, but barely. They matched each other blow for blow, and dodge for dodge. Finally they were beginning to tire after a few hours, and the others who had been intently watching were drifting into sleep. "Your good." Mikash finally said as she huffed and puffed.

"For a half demon your not to bad either." Sesshoumaru said he was tired too, and he huffed and puffed.

Marina who had grown small again pawed at Mikash's leg. "What is it Marina?" Nina simply looked up at her and opened her mouth. "Your hungry…I'm in the middle of a battle and your hun-" She was cut off by a searing pain in her shoulder, and she screamed out loud, and drove her sword forward into Seshoumaru's shoulder, as a return favor. Sesshoumaru let out a yell of surprise and pain.

Both fighters staggered back. Mikash looked at the crimson blood running down her arm from the open wound and saw the same on Sesshoumaru's shoulder, she smiled, and caught her second wind, and began to attack fiercely with her uninjured arm. Despite being dead tired Sesshoumaru managed to defend against the onslaught of attacks. The battle had moved back to the village, after a few more hours both Mikash and Sesshoumaru, were dragging out the last of their energy, and both collapsed under the strain of battle.
