Chapter 7: 2 Fights Left
Miroku stood up and walked in the arena. Now was not the time for caring for Sango as much as he wanted to. Now was the time to fight.
"Next up June against…Kagome!"
Blinking Miroku looked at Jin. "I'm the one ready to fight!"
Jin smiled, "That's the way it goes mate, I make the rules and you just have to follow them. So that's how it is Kagome up against June."
Whimpering Kagome stepped in the ring with her bow and arrow ready. She knew nothing of fighting and the only thing she was good at was firing off her bow.
"I…I guess it's time to fight…," she said clutching her bow tightly until she was afraid it may snap.
June hopped into the ring and smiled. "Let's make this a good fight then."
June shook Kagome's hand vigorously still smiling. All Kagome wanted was for her to let it go at this point. She really had no interest in fighting or even watching anyone fight.
Inuyasha sighed and looked at her, "She's screwed….there's no way she can win against them. Shippo and Sango barely won…Miroku if she loses one of us need to win or we wont win the Orb."
"I know Inuyasha, I don't know how well I'll be able to fight really."
Kagome looked at her opponent and cried out getting tossed back by a wind. She fired an arrow as it came towards June who just swept it away with a wave of her hand.
"Inuyasha…if Kagome's arrows can't pierce it…," Miroku began softly.
"Then my Wind Scar can't either…," Inuyasha finished his eyes growing wide. That had been his trump card but now he had no idea how to beat it then. If the Wind Scar wouldn't work he'd have to try the Backlash Wave, but he still didn't have much of an idea about how that worked.
Kagome shrieked as June picked up the arrow and used a gust of wind to send it back toward Kagome. She dove to the ground as it struck a tree striking cleanly through it. Looking at the tree Kagome's eye twitched, "Why didn't I stay home and play video games with my brother!"
Kagome ran and hid behind a tree breathing heavily. She knew of no way to beat this person but run and hope by some miracle she would win. That's when she had an idea.
Kagome stepped out from behind the tree June still looking for her.
"Ah there you are!" she cried and senta blast of wind not at Kagome but at the tree.
Kagome cried out and charged at June tackling her from midair keeping them both in line of when the tree crashed!
June struggling to get free cried out when she seen the tree was heading towards them. She knew she had no way to get free with Kagome blocking her hands like that. She couldn't even use her wind powers if her hands were blocked. June closed her eyes waiting for the impact, but it never came. As she slowly opened them she seen Jin and Inuyasha standing over them using their strength to keep the tree up.
"Heh you're pretty strong Inuyasha," Jin said smiling.
"You're not so weak yourself…," Inuyasha said grinning.
With the two at work they slowly moved the tree away from the girls and tossed it a couple feet away.
Miroku pried Kagome off of June who was clinging to her for dear life. "Kagome! It's over you can let go of her now," Miroku said.
Jin wiped a bit of sweat off his brow and smiled. He looked at the 2 girls then back at Inuyasha. "I'd say this match is counted as a tie wouldn't you. June used an excellent display of strength and Kagome used a wild display of courage, and intellect, I think a tie would be excellent. Or we can just make it so this fight never happened. Which would you prefer?"
"Well if I made it so this fight would never end it would mean we won the tournament."
"I'm aware of that mate."
"Then I say we count it as a draw, what's the fun in not fighting no matter who wins the next fight why not finish it out…mate," Inuyasha said a smile forming.
"Alright, next up then Miaka versus Miroku!"
The next fight was underway.
