Chapter 2: Battle
After relaxing in the cool water, Inuyasha's stomach started to growl. He reached down and rubbed it saying, "Kagome, do you have any food?"
"Yes! I brought something new for all of you to try." She got out of the water and wrapped herself in a towel. She began rummaging through a picnic basket pulling out individually wrapped sandwiches. Afterwards, she laid out a red and white checkered cloth, and laid down all five of the sandwiches, along with chips, pickles, and Coca-Cola.
All of them changed into their regular clothes so that they could eat.
She motioned for everyone to come over and sit. "I thought you might enjoy to eat something new for a change. I brought peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pickles, chips, and Coca-Cola drinks," Kagome cheered.
Shippo immediately opened his chip bag and started eating. "This isn't new food, Kagome. I have eaten these crispy potatoes before," Shippo stated having a few crumbs on his face.
"Well, that's the only thing that you've had before, why don't you try the pickle?"
Shippo pointed at a lumpy green object while Kagome nodded. He looked curiously at it, picked it up, and sniffed it. "This doesn't smell right, Kagome," Shippo pouted.
"Just eat it!"Inuyasha reached over and shoved the pickle in Shippo's mouth.
"Waaaaaaaaaa!"
"Inuyasha...sit!"
"Gah!"
"It's all right Shippo," Kagome held him trying to comfort him.
Inuyasha managed to climg out of the crater. "Shippo!"
Kagome glared at him and said, "Don't make me say it."
"Fine then," Inuyasha growled sitting by his food. He took hold of the sandwich and sniffed it. Finally after noticing that it wasn't going to attack him, he took a bite of it, and the peanut butter started making his teeth stick together.
"Mmmm...mmmmmm...mmmm," His teeth were so stuck that he couldn't speak.
"Is this some sort of spell?"Miroku asked pointing from the sandwich to Inuyasha.
Kagome held up her hands in defense while laughing slightly, "Oh no, it's not. It's just peanut butter and jelly mixed together. Of course you probably don't know what those are," she turned to Inuyasha. "Take a drink of the Coca-Cola, and you can talk again."
Inuyasha lowered his ears while taking a drink. "What is this?"
Sango also took a drink after hearing Inuyasha's question. "Yes, Kagome, what is it?"
"Oh this is a drink that, in my time, we call Coca-Cola. It is like sweet water, only with a different color." Kagome smiled but noticed something moving.
"Hmm? What's that?" Kagome pointed at a rock behind Inuyasha. Two ears were sticking up from behind it.
The rest of the gang turned to look at the strange sight.
"Who's there?" Inuyasha asked, gripping his Tetsusuiga.
"Inuyasha, I have come for you." The figure jumped out from behind the rock and it bit into Inuyasha's arm. Blood seeped from the puncture wounds as Inuyasha threw the figure off his arm.
It landed in some bushes a few feet away. "Stupid kid, who are you anyway?" Inuyasha smirked.
It slowly got to it's feet and brushed itself off. "Hmph... You are just a weak half-demon."
"Where do you get off saying that? I am just as strong as any other demon, and I could certainly beat you," Inuyasha growled holding up his claws.
The sun became visible as it came from behind the clouds. The figure finally became clear.
What a strange boy. Hmm... Let's see. Kagome started to observe his characteristics to see if Inuyasha could beat him. Well he has on red pants and a red shirt just like Inuyasha's. Weird, must be a very popular outfit. Claws, fangs, ears, white hair. WHAT!
Kagome's eyes grew in size as did everyone else as they looked at the boy.
"He looks just like Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome pointing her finger and taking a step back.
"You would really compare me to that half breed?" the boy asked crossing his arms.
"Who are you? Did Naraku send you?" Inuyasha clenched his fists and took a step forward.
"I am InuHashi, and I don't know of this Naraku that you speak of."
"There is one difference," Shippo stated while sitting on Miroku's shoulder. "InuHashi has purple marks on his face."
"You need to look more closely. I am a full demon, not half! And none of you have seen my try form," he grinned evilly. The air around him started to lift up as his eyes turned red. His figure started to change while the ground shook.
"What's going on?" Sango asked bracing herself against the ground holding Kirara under her.
"I'm not sure," Kagome replied also holding onto the ground.
Suddenly, a bright light shone throughout the area, and smoke filled the air.
Everyone coughed roughly shielding their faces from the smoke. A loud roar was heard.
"This is my true form!" InuHashi shouted while swiping a paw at Inuyasha. He appeared to be a dog like Sesshomaru only smaller.
"Inuyasha! Be careful!" Kagome shouted taking her bow and arrow in hand. InuHashi jumped on the ground in front of her making her fall.
Kirara transformed and pounced into the air the flames appearing at her feet. She gave a roar of attack. She bit into InuHashi's leg making him roar as well.
He shook his leg, but Kirara held on tight. Finally he rolled on his side scraping her against the rocks. Getting back to his feet, he licked his wound.
"Kirara!" Sango shouted pulling her arm back and throwing her Hiraikotsu. It hit InuHashi at full speed in the mouth making him fall.
He rared his leg back after wobbiling back up. Swiftly he struck Sango with his claws cutting her severely across her entire body.
"Sango!" Miroku started to take the prayer beads off his hand when Kagome stopped him.
"You will suck up Inuyasha as well. I will take care of Sango. You just help in any way that you can." Inuyasha was holding onto InuHashi's back trying to get to a weak spot.
Miroku nodded while charging into battle with Inuyasha.
"Miroku stay back!" Inuyasha shouted holding his Tetsusuiga. He had already jumped onto the ground and was ready to use an attack.
"Windscar!" The blast went strait towards InuHashi.
"You really think that can defeat me?" InuHashi jumped into the air over the windscar landing on Inuyasha.
Inuyasha yelled in agony as claws dug into his chest and his bones were shattered. "You pitiful half demon!" InuHashi dug his claws in even deeper. Blood started seeping from Inuyasha's mouth.
Inuyasha! Kagome turned hearing the yell.
"Get off him!" Miroku shouted throwing incense salt on his leg.
InuHashi jumped back and roared in pain. Kagome took an arrow and shot it under him. The sacred light covered him and he changed back into his normal form.
"What's going on?" InuHashi looked at himself and back at Kagome.
"My arrow is pure, and your demon form is not. Therefore, I purified you and you changed back."
"Wretched girl!" He dashed into the woods disappearing.
"I'll deal with him later," Kagome kneeled by Sango. "Sango, I will be right back. Please don't try to move just yet."
Sango nodded slightly and Kagome was off.
"Inuyasha? Are you all right?" Kagome asked kneeling by Inuyasha.
"Yeah," Inuyasha replied wiping the blood from his mouth. "Damn... Where'd the runt go?"
"He went that way," replied Shippo pointing in the direction.
Suddenly, six arrows darted into Inuyasha's back.
