Chapter 6: Sango's fight and only hers.
"To bad you have to be my first opponent, I really wanted to fight one of the guys. That would have been even better."
"Why?" Sango asked blinked as she readied her boomerang. (Sorry I've heard so many things of what it's called I don't know anymore.)
"So I could show them girls aren't as weak and fragile as people seem to believe."
Smiling Sango flicked some hair behind her and looked at Miaki. "Well after this fight I don't think anyone will think we're weak and fragile."
Nodding Miaki readied herself and pulled out a large staff. "I'm more of a staff master than a wind master, hope you don't mind being attacked with a staff and some form of wind."
Shaking her head Sango smiled, "Sure if you don't mind me having a sword and a giant boomerang made from demon fang and hide."
The two smiled to each other and charged neither willing to give up or even think of giving it up. Pulling out her boomerang Sango hurled it towards Miaki then cried out as it stopped in mid-air and began spinning back towards her.
"Never use weapons that need air to attack us," Miaki warned smirking slightly.
"It's true…," said Shippo softly running over to Kagome who had bandages ready.
"Hm, I guess I'll have to keep that in mind wont I?" Sango asked smiling some.
Pulling out a sword Sango smiled twirling it in her hand until it was nothing more than a silver blur. "Well without my boomerang I'll just have to see how well my sword skills have improved."
"Well this ought to be interesting," Jin said hovering in the air cross legged.
Sango charged and swung her sword as it clashed against Miaki's staff.
"So lets make this a good old sword fight then eh?" Miaki asked her voice strained as the two pushed against each other trying to make one or the other stumble.
Nodding Sango kept pushing her legs burning like fire. Then she gave a final push and hit Miaki's side just as her staff smashed into Sango's chin. Sango winced and fell back her chin and tongue bleeding.
Miaki smiled and looked at her side, "Looks like we each got a hit."
"Guess so."
The two laughed for no real reason, it was just one of those things.
Kagome watched silently still bandaging Shippo who was recovering nicely. She sighed and looked at Sango thinking next I'm gonna have to bandage her up after this cause it already looks like it's going to be a bloody fight.
Inuyasha sat down and looked at Shippo, "I never thought I'd say this but you did well in that fight."
Shippo blinked and then smiled, "Thanks."
Sango charged and jumped up bringing her sword down Miaki blocking with her staff. Sango gasped getting thrown into the air by a sudden gust of wind crashing to the ground as the sword struck in the ground slicing right by her head a stand of hair getting sliced.
"Narrow miss…," she murmured.
Miaki spun her wooden staff and smiled holding it above her head still spinning it. Slowly she became airborne then she fell down towards Sango as fast as she came one end of the staff pointed towards Sango's body.
Rolling Sango felt the ground vibrate as the staff hit it. Scrambling to her feet Sango dodged as the staff was swung her way. Another swing and a narrow miss…only this time something was different.
Sango looked at her clothes and gasped a thin narrow cut there with a trace of blood. Miaki had taken the sword as was now using both as a weapon.
"It'll be hard for you to fight if you don't have a sword or a staff you know," Miaki said smiling. Miaki kept swinging and Sango kept dodging.
Think Sango…think of a way that you can beat her…I have a 2nd sword but I don't want to use that unless I have to…but if she keeps this up I may have to use it anyway.
Miaki growled and swung harder, "Why don't you quit trying you know you can win this so give it up now!"
"I never give up," Sango said suddenly dropping to the ground her legs pushing into Miaki's stomach.
Stumbling back Miaki fell, just as Sango ran forward and swiped the sword from her clutching the blade tightly despite the pain.
Sango smiled and opened her hand blood dripping from it and running down the blade. Placing her hand on the hilt and smiled. "You like my sword, if so to bad it's mine and it's going to be used by me."
Standing Miaki nodded, "Touché Sango I'll admit you're the best opponent I've faced in the longest time. But don't expect to win we have even strength right now and that's all I need to gain an upper hand."
Sango smiled, "I don't think we're even Miaki I'm dog tired as it is."
"So am I Sango I just didn't want the fight so end so soon."
Soon both started laughing again both glad this wasn't a fight where their lives were on the line. No one was happier than Sango who had been fighting for the past year just to stay alive. Now she didn't have to worry about dying or letting the entire world down…until they met with that demon that had stolen orbs.
As they charged their weapons clashed then Sango smiled, "It's over Miakia," she said head butting her hard in the forehead. Blood soon began forming as the cuts ran up and down their heads into their eyes. Miaki collapsed and Sango fell to a knee breathing heavily. "Jin…I've won this…"
Sighing Jin announced, "Winner…Sango!"
Sango fell to the ground and collapsed her hair flowing all around her. Coughing up blood she looked at Miaki and smiled, "I know your unconscious but we need to do that again sometime."
Miroku ran over to her quickly and picked her up just as she passed out. Even after fighting she looks beautiful he thought. This time Miroku knelt down and began taking Kagome's job bandaging Sango up.
