Chapter 9: The Final Fight
"This oughta be fun eh?" Jin said as much as he asked hopping into the arena looking at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha smiled and stepped in. "I don't know why you bothered with this arena nobody lasts more than 5 minutes inside it."
Jin thought this over chuckling, "We'll say its decoration later on."
"GET 'EM INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled out seeming like her old self again.
Inuyasha finger twitched as he sighed hanging his head. "Annoying…"
Jin smiled, "Lets…BEGIN!"
Inuyasha raised his head and charged slashing at Jin who merely dodged. The more he slashed the more Jin dodged, right now Jin was only toying with Inuyasha.
"Gotta do better than that to beat me mate!"
Inuyasha leapt up and came down towards Jin with his claws, "How's this?" he growled out as he slashed at Jin who once more leapt out of the way.
Jin, after leaping back charged Inuyasha waving his hand 5 powerful thin gusts hitting Inuyasha.
"Feh those weak winds can't hurt me."
Jin pointed as Inuyasha's kimono as well as his skin sliced open a thin trail of blood there. "The cuts will only become worse in time each minute the pain will become worse but it shouldn't take that long for me to beat you so no need to worry."
Growling Inuyasha flexed his claws, "Iron Revear Soul Stealer!" he bellowed sending this at Jin.
Jin tried blocking with wind but the claws sliced right through slamming Jin back a few yards leaving his arms (which took most of the blow) cut up. Jin looked at his arms as the blood ran down them then began smiling, "Finally…after many years I finally find and pick an opponent who actually knows a thing or 2 about fighting. This should be very interesting."
Inuyasha smiled then winced looking at the place where the winds hit him. Jin wasn't kidding the pain was steadily getting worse and he had no idea why. He thought back to when Jin used the move the wind didn't show itself like everyone elses…this wind was also quicker. It has to be a vacuum effect…otherwise it wouldn't be hurting this badly…that and wounds that bleed don't tend to hurt as much because the blood is drained from there. When it is a vacuum effect the blood stays inside you which makes it even more painful. Clever…
"I've seen through your plan Jin! You use a vacuum effect to make it so it hurts so bad!"
"Good job Inuyasha, you saw through that but it doesn't mean you can dodge it or stop it."
Smiling Inuyasha raised his claws, "Actually. I can!" he said stabbing himself where the wound was as he winced the pain subsiding though.
Jin stared for a moment then sighed. "I guess that would work, nobody I've fought has been brave enough to do that…"
Inuyasha let out a low breath the blood making his claws shine red, "I guess I'm not the average person people fight…Blades Of Blood!" he suddenly bellowed sending 5 red claw marks towards Jin. These were even deadlier than the last attack sent towards Jin.
Jin suddenly rose his leg getting sliced as he looked at it. "Impressive, you continue to surprise me Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smirked, "What you see is what you get, a surprising guy who loves fighting."
Jin smiled and dove towards Inuyasha sending blades of wind at him once more. Inuyasha was quick this time and dodged them and had to keep dodging Jin sending more. The more Inuyasha dodged the more exhausted he became and kept getting hit. Soon he formulated a plan.
Jin kept blasting at him and suddenly Inuyasha charged right into the blast getting cut. Jin wasn't expecting that and his surprised showed as Inuyasha punched him in the forehead slamming him out of the arena skidding on the ground knocked out.
"Jin…I've won this," Inuyasha said sitting down breathing heavily.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried taking him in her arms. "Are you ok?"
He nodded, "Actually I feel pretty good."
She smiled and kissed his lips softly. He blinked before kissing back closing his eyes then fell over sputtering as Miroku (now awakened and a hand print on his cheek) and Sango came up with Shippo.
"Awww," Miroku commented.
Jin stood laughing and applauded as he called the orb into his hands which floated from them locking itself neatly in Miroku's shield.
"That's one more down," Miroku said.
"The Lightning Orb is next, I hope you all don't find his tactics shocking."
Smiling the group set out their bodies not yet healed but their hearts feeling stronger than ever.
