A/N ok sorry I took so long to upload this… gomen. Well this is the next chapter, hope you guys out there will like it, flames are all welcome and again, I do not own Inuyasha and the gang… pls R&R.
"Miroku!" called out Kagome as she watches the priest fall to the ground.
Sesshomaru then turned and placed Rin down onto the ground.
"Sesshomaru!" yelled Inuyasha.
"Jaken get Rin to a safe place and I will meet you there." Sesshomaru said as he looked at Inuyasha coldly.
"Hai Sesshomaru-sama." Answered Jaken the toad-like creature as he pulled the little girl away and into the woods with a two-headed horse.
"Jakotsu, keep the priestess busy, I will deal with the brothers." Came Bankotsu's voice.
"But—but, I want to fight them…" wailed Jakotsu.
Bankotsu gave Jakotsu a cold stare with made Jakotsu stop wailing and walk over, in front of Kagome.
"What about me?" asked Ayame as she looked at Bankotsu.
"Continue fighting that wolf and if you can kill him, go and help Jakotsu with the priestess." Came the reply.
Ayame nodded and turned to face Kouga… Getting ready as she was about to go into battle.
"Ayame get away! I want to go protect Kagome! I don't want to hurt you!" Kouga pleaded as he watch Kagome tense up as the undead zombie smirk at her.
Kagome raised her bow as she readied herself to fight Jakotsu.
"Kagome! Be careful!" shouted Inuyasha as he started fighting both Sesshomaru.
Bankotsu started attacking as soon as Sesshomaru started attacking Inuyasha.
"Damn it!" shouted Kouga as he douched Ayame's attacks.
Kirara stood at Sango's side as she licked her. The sun started setting and the sky got darker. The temperature dropped as the fight went on. The only people not fighting were Miroku, Sango, Hakakku, Ginta, Shippo and both Kagome and Jakotsu. Jakotsu looked at Kagome as she pulled the sting of her bow back and aimed at Jakotsu.
"Why are you not firing?" asked Jakotsu as he looked at her smirking.
"I will!" warned Kagome as she released the string of her bow and the arrow glowed with the power of the priestess and flew towards Jakotsu's neck.
And as if on cue, Jakotsu used his sword and hit the arrow away leaving Kagome staring in shock.
"You two brothers are going to regret it! Ryuusen!" Bankotsu yelled as he was lifted up in to the air.
"You will not know where the lightening will strike next!" Bankotsu said as a small golden orb formed at the tip of Banyuu and storm clouds formed.
Thunder was sounded and the animals were still. Lightening came crashing down at different spots just like what Bankotsu had said.
"Oh no!" Inuyasha thought.
His claws were changing into human hands and his hair colour was changing into black, he felt his energy get drain out of him as he watch Kagome trying to douche the lightening.
"Kagome…" was what he could say, before lightening strikes a few feet in front of him, making him temporary blind.
Inuyasha falls to the ground and no movement was seen coming from him.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she ran towards him.
Sesshomaru easily got out of the lightnings way and was not injured at all.
"Argh…" Kouga cried out as lightening hit the ground a couple of feet away.
Ayame shielded her eyes as she saw lightening coming down. She heard Kouga cry out as he felt both the force and the heat from the lightening and was thrown backwards.
"Ayame be careful the lightening may hit you!" shouted Jakotsu as he jumped out of the way of a lightening bolt.
Ayame grasped as bolts of lightening continued hitting the earth.
"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome as she saw Inuyasha again lying on the ground motionless.
Lightening hit behind a huge rock sending two wolf demons and a little kitsu flying out from there.
"Ahh! Kag-go-me!" cried the little kitsu.
"Kouga!" yelled the other two.
"Shippo!" shouted Kagome as she span her head around and saw Shippo flying through the air.
Inuyasha lifted his head and saw Kagome running towards him, Shippo flying through the air with Ginta and Hakakku. Miroku and Sango on Kirara's back. He looks up and saw Bankotsu smirking at the scene. Jakotsu running about trying to douche the bolts, Kouga getting up from where he had fell when he was thrown back by the force of the lightening. Ayame was having a little trouble getting out of the lightening way as she was injured. Then a bolt of lightening sent Inuyasha flying backwards and hitting a tree.
"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome again seeing Inuyasha hitting the tree.
"Ahh!" yelled Shippo as he hit the ground.
He quickly pulled his body up and ran around in circles.
"Lightening does not hit the same spot twice…" Shippo thought.
Then the memory of his father flashed through his mind. The very night his father passed.
"Otosan…" Shippo said as he stopped in his tracks.
Tears rolled down Shippo's cheeks. He looked up and his eyes reached Bankotsu…
"Waaa!" screamed Shippo as lightening struck the tree in front of him.
Then Sesshomaru appeared in front of him staring at Shippo with his cold eyes. This sent shivers down Shippo's spine. In a spilt second Sesshomaru disappeared again. Then Kirara flew down and picked Shippo up in her mouth and thrown him onto her back.
"Kirara! Sango, Miroku!" Shippo exclaimed.
Kouga stood up and his eyes darted here and there, and it landed on Kagome… But she was at Inuyasha's side. Then something else caught his eye… Ayame. She was running to where Jakotsu was, he was in a small cave big enough for at least five people.
"Ayame!" yelled Kouga.
With that, Ayame span around and saw Kouga looking at her.
"Ayame watch out!" shouted Kouga again.
Then lightening struck in front of Ayame and rays of bright light shot into Ayame's eyes.
"Argh!" cried Ayame as she fell backwards.
"What's wrong with me? I can't see anything!" Ayame thought.
"Inuyasha… wake up…" came Kagome's voice in Inuyasha's head.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said as he opened up his eyes.
He saw tears falling down her face as she helped Inuyasha up.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she hugged him.
"Kagome… I'm alright." Inuyasha said as his hand went round her shoulders.
Then the lightening slowly stopped and Bankotsu came down. Everything slowly calm down and the storm clouds disappeared.
"O-annekin Bankotsu!" Jakotsu said as he came out of the cave.
"Jakotsu! Where's Ayame?" asked Bankotsu.
"There with the wolf." Came Jakotsu's reply.
Kouga came closer to Ayame. He wanted to help her up. Ayame calmed down then she smelled Kouga's smell becoming stronger.
"Ayame." Kouga said as he tried to help her.
"Get lost Kouga!" shouted Ayame angrily.
The sudden out burst startled Kouga and brought nine pairs of eyes looking at their direction. Bankotsu and Jakotsu walked over towards Ayame. The smell of grave dirt filled Ayame's nose and she knew who they were.
"Ayame, are you ok?" asked Bankotsu as he help her up.
Ayame tried to find Bankotsu's hand, as all she could see was darkness. Bankotsu frowned as Ayame was trying very hard just to get hold of his hand. He then grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her up.
"Ayame, are you all right?" asked Jakotsu watching.
"Yeah, I'm ok…" Ayame said even thought she knew she was not.
Ayame smiled at Kouga's direction as she spoke to Jakotsu.
"The light in her eyes are gone… she is not alright, something is not right." Bankotsu thought.
Inuyasha holding on to Kagome's arm for support came over with Kirara and both Ginta and Hakakku behind following. Sesshomaru just stood at the side of a burning tree and then turned to find Jaken and Rin.
"Kouga, are you all right?" asked Kagome as she came forward.
"Yes my dear Kagome." Kouga said as he walks to Kagome.
"Ayame here, come and let me help you…" Kagome said kindly.
"I maybe blind but I will never need your help!" yelled Ayame at the direction of Jakotsu.
"You're blind?" asked Bankotsu in surprise.
Everyone looked at Ayame in shock.
"I-I, I am blind, I can't see anything. Every where is dark, I think this happen when a bolt of lightening hit in front of me just now…" Ayame said as she looked down on to the ground.
"Ayame you should be angry at Bankotsu for making you blind!" Kouga said.
"No! I should kill you! You were the one who made me blind! You were the one who called me and made me turn around when I was just a few feet away from the cave! It was you who made me blind not Bankotsu!" yelled Ayame with tears rolling down her face…
