Disclaimers: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters.
Hey folks! Sorry about the lack of quick updates...I was getting a little bit lazy. #grins sheepishly#
Anyways...
Fred the Mutant Pickle: Hey, no problemo. :D And you really think my stuff's good? Thanks!
Another thing, I made all the characters fight the same element because I wanted them to fight the "dark side" of their element.
Hayai-hakai: Yeah, too bad not a lot of people know exactly what I'm talking about... I highly recommend you see Rurouni Kenshin: the action's great!
Wandering Namekian: What's wrong with the short bald guy? Everyone likes the short bald guy!
Shakujou: No problem. :D And I can't wait to see chapter 15 for your fic!
IMPORTANT NOTE: AFTER THIS CHAPTER, THIS FIC WILL NOW CONTAIN AT LEAST 20,000 WORDS! HURRAY!!!
Another note: When Miroku goes "Haaah...huuuh." That means that it's one of those scenes where you can hear the person breathing in and out really loud.

The battle had still not stopped: flames blazed, water and iced chilled the fighting arena, gales ripped through the air, and the earth trembled as if the gods had decided to make their appearance.
Inuyasha and Jigoku were attempting to tear each other apart, so strong was their fury. They paid no heed to anything else as they grappled and tried to put their claws into play for rending and tearing.
Kagome and Shougan, however, were walking a thin line: circling each other slowly (due to Kagome's injured foot), they glared at each other at dared one another to make a mistake.
Miroku was still busy fending off the attacks of Tatsumaki, although he was starting to develop a rhythm: wait until Tatsumaki seemed to fatigue, then strike hard and fast. He wasn't sure how long he could keep this up, however.
Finally, Sango had her hands full evading Jishin's bone-crushing attacks. Because her only advantage over him was her speed, the best she could do was play keep away and aim for his head with Hiraikotsu (although she only ended up cutting off his arm 50 times).
This sort of routine continued on until...
"Argh!" Jigoku had finally gotten the better of Inuyasha as the former grabbed the latter by the throat and slammed him repeatedly into the ground. Then Jigoku took his left claw, raised it high, then plunged it straight into Inuyasha's chest without hesitation.
"Die hanyou filth!!" he screeched.
Inuyasha gasped and his eyes widened at the shock and pain of an entire hand going through his chest. Then he began to spasm all over has Jigoku channeled electricity into him through the arm.
"Yeeeargh!"
"Inuyasha!" screamed Kagome. "Get off of him you cree-eep!" she was stopped abrubtly when Shougan jumped and landed in front of her.
"I am your opponent, wench. The others are of no concern."
'Inuyasha...' thought Kagome worriedly. 'Just hold on...'
-Meanwhile, Miroku's fighting Tatsumaki-
#Clang# #Clang# The sounds of blade meeting staff clashed throughout the battle field.
Miroku forced himself to continue concentrating on the opponent before him. Now that he was getting used to Tatsumaki's erratic attacks, he found fighting him much easier.
"Why won't you die monk?! BLEED!!" screamed Tatsumaki. Suddenly, Miroku hopped over to the side and allowed Tatsumaki's vicious attack to pass him by harmlessly.
"N-nani?!"
"This is the end Tatsumaki! Kaze. Utsu. Yari. San! Wind Spear!" Several armor crushing, flesh tearing spears of wind skewered Tatsumaki on the shoulders and stomach, dropping the demon like a stone.
"AARGH! The pain!!" the wounded youkai decided that deiscretion was the better part of valor and limped off in defeat (and taking care to avoid the flame barrier while doing so).
'Whew, that's one finally down,' thought Miroku. 'Now to assist my friends.' "Kagome-sama! Hold on! I'm coming!"
-Kagome and Inuyasha's battle-
"Eek!" 'Ugh, that was close!' Kagome dodged yet another deadly strike by Shougan and drew her bow. "#Huff# Come on, hit..."
#Twang#
Instead of hitting, however, Shougan pulled off a dodge that rivaled Neo and lunged, his arm stretched out in a strike.
'Oh no! I can't dodge this one-' Kagome was suddenly blinded by intense pain as Shougan's needle sharp arm plunged itself into her leg.
The pain was so terrible that all Kagome could do was let out a gurgle and collapse to the ground, while Shougan transformed his hand into a katana blade and prepared to deliver the coup de grace.
"Heh heh heh, I win human."
"KAGOME!!"
While he was being pummeled by Jigoku, Inuyasha noticed that Kagome was in major trouble. His body was in intense pain and he could hardly move let alone fight back at Jigoku, but seeing Kagome become injured and nearing death's door pushed him over the edge.
"GET OFF OF HER!!! INCENDIARY COUMBUSTION!!" Inuyasha's eyes blazed with flaming energy then let out a huge explosion from inside himself, using his mind to shield himself, Kagome, and his two other comrades if they were in the blast radius.
The wall of fire that erupted from Inuyasha blew Jigoku off of him and slammed him into the flame barrier: meanwhile, Shougan was caught completely off guard and was blown forwards by the explosion's concussive force. Both landed with a dull #thud# and moved no more.
Seeing the display of power by Inuyasha, Miroku simply sweatdropped and muttered, "Well, that was a waste of time..." then he continued, "I just hope they're alright. Oi, Sango, how are you holding up over there?"
"Houshi-sama! Help!"
"Coming!"
It turned out that Sango was cornered by Jishin, and due to an injury on her leg, it didn't look like she would be able to get herself out of there any time soon. Fortunately, the rest of her companions surrounded Jishin and cornered him.
"Jishin," spoke Miroku commandingly. "You are surrounded and out numbered. Your companions are defeated. Now leave quietly, unless you would like a four on one battle against us."
The burly demon simply looked at him in his usual emotionless fashion, then slowly turned around and gathered the unconscious bodies of Jigoku and Shougan.
"You have defeated us out of a fluke, humans," rumbled Jishin. "But this is hardly the end. Our fifth brother awaits you." He suddenly opened up a deep tunnel beneath the earth and disappeared in a cloud of dirt.
"Whew!" breathed Miroku. "That was easier than expected."
"Good thing Houshi-sama's smooth tongue saved us from another battle."
"Just like how he cons villagers out of a free meal and a room," giggle Kagome.
Showing fake hurt, Miroku simply said, "You wound me, Kagome-sama. After all the effort I put into for getting us a fine room and some warm food you treat me like this." He shook his head in mock shame. "Tsk, tsk. It's not good for your karma to do that Kagome-sama."
"Since when did you value karma, bouzo?"
"Oh? And where did you find the strength to speak Inuyasha?"
"Feh. Let's just get back and rest."
They were all about to head back when one of the straggler demons (a spike demon to be exact) sprung forward and aimed directly at the wounded Sango.
"For the master! Die!"
Once it released its salvo of deadly spikes, time seemed to slow for everyone.
Inuyasha dashed towards the spike demon and didn't even bother to draw his sword: his claws were good enough.
Kagome and Sango, meanwhile, simply stared in numb shock at the five spikes that sailed toward Sango.
When the spieks were about ten feet in front of Sango, Miroku moved at godlike speeds and placed himself, arms stretched wide horizontally, in front of Sango.
#1 "IIEEEEEE!!"
Miroku's eyes widened in pain and shock. He fell to his knees, then to all fours, then finally down on his side.
"Haaaaah...Huuuuh."
Everything seemed ethereal, nothing tangible. He could hear a few voices shout something that sounded like his name.
"Haaaaaah...Huuuuh."
As he lay on his ribs and his lifeblood seeping out of him, Miroku thought, 'Is this the end?'
"Haaaaaaaaah......Huuuuuuh."
'Heh. Killed by demons on a world far away from home...'
"Haaaaaaaaah.........Huuuuuuuuh."
'I've failed to kill Naraku and avenge my fathers and my companions. Gomen nasai, Sango, mina-san...'
"Haaaaaaaaaah............Huuuuuuuuuuh." There was no more exhaling.
Before he was lost to the dark oblivion, he saw a fleeting image of a crying angel... #
