I know it's been a while but I just got my laptop back today September 18, 2005. My dad is a dentist and had some meeting in Austin, 200 miles away, and since he has some big jalopy computer he took my laptop leaving me in Houston with no computer to use. One a different note, I fear that it me be a while before this story surpasses TNOTRM in reviews because in one day it went from 55 to 60 reviews. I cannot stress how much I want this story to have more reviews than any other of my stories. PLEASE REVIEW!

The Princess And The Pup Ch. 9
Demon Vs. Slayer
It had all happened so quickly and conveniently. As soon as the guards at the castle had informed them to attack at night the monk had gone to find young girls to 'give fortunes to' when she suddenly saw a man with dog ears just walking through town.
"Got him." Sango breathed out happily and thankful she didn't hit who she assumed to be the princess.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shrieked fearfully as she saw the half-demon fly back by the impact of the demon-slayer's weapon.
Inuyasha flew at the home behind him and hit it unmercifully, causing it to collapse upon him. A fury of footsteps assaulted the ears as the villagers scattered in fear of the lives. Soon it was just Sango and Kagome staring at the wreckage of the home, one hoping he was alive and the other hoping quite the opposite.
"AAH!" Barked an enraged half-demon as he erupted from the rubble.
"Damn…" Cursed the demon-slayer. Just when it looked like it was over.
The half-demon jumped to Kagome side and gripped the Tetsusaiga's handle. He growled when he saw Sango standing in the empty space in front of him.
A demon-slayer? Inuyasha thought confusedly at the sight of his attacker's uniform.
How could she have snuck up on me so easily? I couldn't even detect her scent from the
crowd. I must be rusty. I must be careful.
"Are you okay, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked concernedly of the man next to her.
The half-demon didn't turn to the princess because of the demon-slayer straight in front
of him but gave an answer. "I'm fine, Kagome, but you won't be if she hits you with her
weapon. I want you to run."
"But…" Kagome began to argue but the half-demon interrupted her.
"No, I don't want you to get hurt. Please…" Inuyasha asked with more of a demand to
the statement.
"Fine, but I'm not going far." The princess replied and started to run from Inuyasha's
side.
The half-demon saw the demon-slayer's eyes follow Kagome's path as she escaped most of the danger. Seeing he distracted, Inuyasha took his chance to draw the Tetsusaiga.
No sooner had it been drawn but had it transformed into a large blade resembling a giant fang. When a whistling noise reached his ears, the half-demon sensed the danger and jumped straight up into the air. The boomerang that had continued flying after striking him had finally made its return to its master.
Sango caught the heavy weapon with uncanny ease and got into a stance, challenging the half-demon to strike first.
At least she's not after Kagome too. Inuyasha thought with the weight of one less responsibility being lifted from his shoulders.
"Are you scared to might your demise, demon?" Sango taunted in an attempt to anger Inuyasha.
"I'm not the one who's going to die." The half-demon bellowed propelling himself at his opponent.
Inuyasha raised the Tetsusaiga over his head, anxious for the chance to use his sword. He swung the blade down forcefully but it was blocked easily when Sango moved her weapon in front of her.
She stopped the Tetsusaiga! Inuyasha realized, stunned and angered.
"Didn't think it was going to be that simple, did you demon?" The demon-slayer grinned.
Inuyasha smirked right back. "Didn't think so, but I kind of hoped."
Both Inuyasha and Sango jumped in opposite direction gaining distance from each other. Their eyes met, calculating their next move.
The half-demon became impatient and sprinted toward the demon-slayer with as much speed as he could muster.
He must be stupid. This is going to be easier than I thought it was going to be. Sango laughed inwardly at the seemingly blunt tactics of her hit.
The demon-slayer to a step forward to brace herself for shielding herself again. Inuyasha smiled at her action, much to her confusion but it became clear soon enough…
Inuyasha drove the Tetsusaiga into the ground in front of him, giving him the momentum to fly over Sango. The demon-slayer could only watch as he flew over her head, landing directly behind her.
The half-demon laughed and kicked the woman in her back. The force of his kick made Sango hit her weapon face first. She brought her hands to face in a futile attempt to stop the pain that's causing her head to pound. Realizing that he was still behind her, the demon-slayer spun on her heels but was soon lifted into the air by her throat.
Sango struggled with one hand to loosen his grip but the man holding her just laughed.
"I may be a half-demon but you still won't be able to get out of my grip. I hope you had a good life…"
Half-demon! Sango screamed inwardly, her eyes widening in disgust and surprise. I won't be killed by a perversion of nature!
Sango's other hand untied the packet of poison gas attached to her waist. The balls holding the poison exploded instantly when hitting the ground.
The half-demon coughed nastily whereas the demon-slayer had a mask protecting her nose and mouth from inhaling the poison. His grip let out enough for Sango to escape. She went straight for her weapon and lifted in from the ground and began to run away from the gas.
"You're not getting away!" Inuyasha was able to force out while he jumped out of the gas and towards Sango.
The demon-slayer turned away and threw her boomerang again. The weapon barely missed Inuyasha when he landed but he soon realized exactly why it missed…
He wasn't its target…
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled and chased behind the boomerang.
The princess started to run from the weapon coming after her and let a shriek that stung at the half-demon's ears.
This won't happen to her too… Inuyasha thought with determination as he was catching up on the boomerang.
The half-demon took one last bound and landed in between the princess and weapon.
Inuyasha let out a painful grunt as the boomerang ground itself into his back, almost ripping him in half. The half-demon landed unceremoniously on the ground with a thump.
Kagome heard the noise and turned to see Inuyasha facedown on the ground.
"Inuyasha!"
The princess rushed to the fallen half-demon's side to see if he was still alive. The half-demon's heaving chest showed her he was still living, but barely so.
"Inuyasha, can you here me?" Kagome asked dreadfully but with no response. "Inuyasha?"
A growl emitted from Inuyasha as he pushed himself up. The relief that had met Kagome was quickly forgotten when she saw his face.
Inuyasha's eyes had become blood red with some purple in the center that showed nothing but hatred. Magenta stripes had found their way onto his face and his fangs and claws appeared longer and sharper.
Inuyasha brought himself to his feet and met Kagome's eyes.
"Hatsukoi…" Inuyasha muttered just loud enough for the princess to hear.
"What?"
Inuyasha turned to face the demon-slayer. Sango stood far away from his current location but he could tell that she was trembling at what she was seeing.
He became full-demon. What's going on here? Sango mused fearfully but was ripped from her thoughts as the demon had leaped in her direction, his speed becoming much faster.
Sango hadn't been able to take a step back when Inuyasha's now sharpen claws dig their way into her gut.
The copper taste of blood reached her lips before she collapsed backwards.
The demon Inuyasha laughed triumphantly at the fallen demon-slayer. Kagome only watch as he raised his claws for a final blow.
The demon stopped when he heard the footsteps of soldiers leaving the castle doors.
"Princess," Began the soldier in the front line closest to Kagome. "get back in the castle walls. We'll handle this."
Kagome almost started to argue out of habit but looked back at Inuyasha who sat watching.
"No."
"Fine." The soldier replied expectantly and snapped his fingers. Two other soldiers grabbed Kagome's arms and forced her back toward the castle.
"No, I want to stay here!" Kagome struggled to free herself but to no avail.
They had made forced her through the castle's main gate when a painful gurgle reached their ears. The soldiers turned toward the noise and had a front row seat to see calamity unfold.
Inuyasha had begun to massacre to guards. Blood flew into the air each time he struck a soldier. Sooner than it would seem possible, the demon had slain the entire armed forces besides the two gripping Kagome.
He grinned smugly at the soldiers. The two let out battle cries and ran at the demon in an effort to slay him.
More soldiers were added to Inuyasha's kill count when the last guards fell to the ground. The demon chuckled again when he gazed over the battleground before him.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome breathed out as she saw him laugh.
The demon turned on his heels to meet Kagome's eyes. He only watched baffled as the princess ran at and embraced him.
"Inuyasha, I know you're in there. Please, Inuyasha." Kagome begged into the demon's chest.
Kagome looked up at the perplexed Inuyasha and did the one thing she could think of that would subdue him…
She kissed him…
I suck at battle scenes and I'm sorry you had to read it. God, I don't look forward to writing the other three battles. Oops, I didn't say that out loud did I?
