Hi! Thank you to my one reviewer. Here is your reply (I suck at this!):

taixonay101: Well, my first thought was short but sweet. I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Marin M: I will go on. Don't worry. I hope you like this chapter. It has blood! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Disclaimer: Yup, I don't own him.

RECAP:

Sango soon finished her repairs though she was a bit nervous with the taiyokai lurking behind her.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Yes, but do you say about making this interesting?" she replied.

"How so?"

"If I win, you must leave me and my company alone and stop trying to steal tessuiga."

"And if I win?"

"If you win… I shall be your servant for six months. I will be at your disposal at all times."

"Alright. Let's begin."

Now on with the show!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sango waited for the lord to attack but he simply stood there. It was clear that she would have to make the first move.

"Hiraikotsu!" she said as she let her enormous boomerang fly at the demon. He dodged it easily with his speed.

"Is that all you can do? This will be easier than I thought." he said. He knew that attack was strong. It would be hard to weaken her.

"That's not even close!" She charged. She obviously couldn't throw without him dodging it so she would have to fight close range.

She swung hiraikotsu at him. He jumped out of the way and drew out tokijin.

'Oh no.' Sango thought. She knew that sword was powerful and more so in the hands of Sesshomaru. She decided this time he would have to attack her. After all it was he that had asked for this battle. Why should she be the one to attack?

'Ahhhh. The onna wants me to attack her. I haven't the time for this. I'll just finish her quickly and be done with it.' he thought.

He charged. Sango barely had time to dodge it. The demon was shocked that she had managed to. No human could match him yet she was very close right now. Sango drew out her own sword. Her boomerang couldn't deflect those attacks and she couldn't dodge them forever. She again waited for him to attack. He did.

He brought tokijin down. She blocked it but he was still trying to force it down. It was taking all of her strength just to hold off this attack. How on earth was she going to win and why the hell had she made that stupid bet?! She knew there was no hope but she still fought. She refused to abandon her friends. She fought off the attack again shocking Sesshomaru.

'How did she do that? I have the strength of at least a dozen humans but I am getting beat- no. Not beat. I am being matched by one and not just a human but a woman. She is strong. But I will defeat her.' He did not realize how long he had been thinking. Sango had grown so impatient that she was attacking him.

She tried to stab him knowing that he would simply pass out from loss of blood if she did. His demon body would allow him to heal fast enough. His eyes grew wide when he saw her coming. He clearly hadn't been paying attention.

However, he did manage to dodge. He jumped over her so that he was behind her and made a gash in her side. He wanted her to pass out. For some reason he did not want her to die. She gasped. He had clearly surprised her. She hadn't been expecting just a small gash. If he was going to pierce her body, she had expected it to be fatal. She was glad it wasn't.

'He probably thinks I'm going to pass out. Not while I still have the will to fight.'

She charged once again. The lord was again surprised by her actions. Most humans would have fainted by now or at least surrendered. She shouldn't even be able to stand much less wield a weapon. He easily deflected her attack.

He put away tokijin. He would use his claws now. Sango could see the faint glow of green poison on his claws but it dissipated.

'So he's not going to use his poison. I guess he sees me as a good servant in the future. Ouch! This gash is starting to hurt…' Sesshomaru saw her wince. He knew she was starting to loose too much blood.

"Why do you not surrender? You will soon pass out." he called.

"I still have strength to fight! And I will never surrender to the likes of you!" she called back.

"Very well. I shall speed this up. One more gash…" he muttered to himself.

He charged. She was ready. He sped up and dashed to the side without a gash. She had been expecting this. She used all her strength and agility to block him. But it was over. She finally couldn't take it. She fainted.
