"So you've finally come then," Garasu looked at the hanyou standing before her. "Well welcome, you don't know how long I've wanted to meet you."
"Keh! I'll destroy you, how about that!" Inuyasha yelled. He wasn't alone. Garasu noted that he had quite a sizeable entourage in tow, consisting of what seemed to be a monk, demon exterminator, a dead miko, and a little kitsune. This guy definitely seemed to have his bases covered.
"Hah!" Garasu said. "You can't possibly hope to win against the combined forces of the Garasu and lord Sesshomaru!" She looked over at Sesshomaru with what might have been a little too-cheerful of a look. He glanced back at her, but her attention was drawn towards the bewildered expression on Inuyasha's face.
"Sesshomaru?" His focus darted over to where Garasu had been looking. And sure enough there was the figure of his brother, just standing around as if nothing was happening. Inuyasha didn't quite know what to think of the situation. This was definetly out of character for Sesshomaru. Sure he and Inuyasha fought a lot, but he had never tried to involve anyone else in their feud. "So, you needed someone else to fight me didn't you?" Inuyasha said mockingly, "Well, I should have know, so does this mean your acknowledging the fact that I'm stronger?" He hoisted his sword and looked over at his brother, whose face remained expressionless.
"Keep dreaming, little brother" he said calmly. "I would never ask for help to fight you, especially from a filthy hanyou." He turned toward Garasu, "Don't bother me again." He said simply, and then walked off into the distance.
"Huh?" said Inuyasha. He looked at Garasu, who was staring in disbelief at the indifferent silhouette of the youkai that she had spent the last hundred years trying to prove herself to. Why was he doing this to her? Didn't he know how much he needed her?
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" She screamed into the night. Tears welled up in her eyes and began streaming down her face. She turned her eyes towards Inuyasha. He was looking directly at her. She didn't like that look on his face. The look of…sympathy. This was all his fault anyway!
"You!" She yelled. She gathered up a massive amount of energy inside herself and thrust hundreds of pointed rubies at him.
"Watch out!" He called to the group. They all were able to duck the blast successfully. "Why'd you do that?" Inuyasha asked. "I thought you were mad at Sesshomaru!"
A groan was heard from the entourage, "Inuyasha, you're so slow" A high-pitched voice called. However, before Inuyasha could get to ripping that little good-for-nothing kitsune apart, Garasu spoke.
"Sesshomaru said that he would be my friend if you were gone…so…BE….GONE!" She seemed to exert all her energy into her attack, this time thrusting thousands of diamonds in the direction of the group. This time the attack was so fast, and so powerful that this time, no one was able to escape. The shards hit their targets perfectly, and now Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kikyo, and even Shippo were pinned to the wall of the cave. Garasu looked them in the eves, as she fashioned a large weapon with which to finish them off. Tears still streaming down her face she looked at her handiwork. Her diamonds had pierced the human woman through the shoulder, so she wasn't completely immobilized. She tried in vain to pull herself up off of the diamond, but it was no use, it was too big. The others seemed to be in a similar predicament. The little kisune was crying hysterically. He was being held down by the diamond shard stuck in his left thigh. Garasu approached him. Her tears had dried and as she hoisted the weapon above the struggling fox demon, she asked him one question. "Why wasn't I good enough?" The rest of the group looked on in horror as Garsu brought the weapon down.
Just then, a blazing light arrow came from the opening of the cave, and hit Garsu squarely in the back. "Take THAT!" a triumphant voice called. Garasu reeled in pain, and Kagome rushed to Shippo's aid. "Shippo-chan, are you alright?" She asked.
"My leg…hurts…so bad…" He stuttered out. He was starting to look pale from all the blood loss. He could barely move. Kagome grabbed a hold of the jewel that was lodged fast in his leg and pulled with all her strength. But it would not budge. It seemed to have been thrown with such a force that it was firmly lodged in the cave wall. And there was no moving it. Kagome looked in horror and her friends' faces, turning pale from all the blood loss.
"Sango-chan, Miroku-sama, Kikyo-sama, Inuyasha!" She ran over to each one trying to pull out the jewel shards, but it was no use. Garasu laughed.
"Tell, me, would you rather I take the lives of these people, as I was intending to do originally, or should I just let you watch them die slowly?"
"Who's…dying…?" A faint voice tried to yell. A small laugh escaped his lips. "If you think…you can get rid…of me, you're…wrong…" He choked out. A small trickle of blood came from his mouth. Then he went limp.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. She ran to his side. The diamond had gotten him squarely in the chest. She grabbed his hand and was horrified that it felt cold.
"He's not dead yet." Garasu said. Kagome looked in her direction. Her pointed weapon produced itself at Kagome's feet. "Go ahead, kill him. Kill the one you love. End that suffering."
"Never!" Kagome whispered. Then she pulled out another arrow and shot Garasu again. Garasu didn't even try to dodge it.
"Don't you see?" She asked. "My life force is gone, I used it all. You're fighting someone with no will to live." She looked at the arrow now firmly planted in her chest. "Now let's all die together, shall we?"
"Not if I have anything to do about it!" Garasu whipped around to see Danny Phantom looking directly into her eyes.
Alright! Finally some action! Sorry this chapter was a little late, I've had a pretty busy week. Don't forget to review everyone! Oh and I have new Idea for a fanfiction, I'm gonna pitch it on my profile page, please check it out and leave me some feedback and tell me what you think, if it's not too much trouble :- )

Candidus-lupus-full-moon- glad you liked it
KatrinaKaiba- Yeah, it was a little short, but I wanted to end it where the action started. But I'm glad you liked it. I was worried you wouldn't 'cause you like Sesshy so much, and he does come across a little negatively here. Thanks for the review, as always!
Oracle Master- Yeah, I've always seen Sesshomaru as such a cold character, but it always works for him. Glad you liked.
