Chapter 13
Audra's Wrath
~~~~Previously~~~
Kagome had just gotten there in time to see Miroku collapse. Shippo jumped off of her shoulder. Kagome did a quick scan of the area to see if anyone else was still standing. None, all of them were scattered across the field and appeared to be dead.
Oh no, they can't be.dead! I'm all alone, just me and Shippo, and he's but a small child.what can I do.I don't think I can do this.If she was able to take Inuyasha, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku down, what makes me think I can destroy Audra.
Kagome looked down at Shippo as he clung to her. Looking up she saw Audra advancing to Inuyasha. Kagome was stiff with fear.
Wait.what is that.is he.really?
Kagome thought as she saw Inuyasha move, He had moved so little it was barely noticeable, but it gave Kagome hope. Audra now loomed over his motionless body. Kagome quickly cocked an arrow to her bow. Audra had a lightning ball in her hand and was about to finish him off.
Please let this work, I can't let him die! I can't let the one man I love die because of my poor aim! Please let this work!
Kagome let her arrow fly with a twang of her bowstring.
~~~Continuing with the story~~~
Everything seemed to go ingot slow motion. Shippo was at Kagome's feet, his eyes wide with fear and worry. Kagome still had her bow in her hand, half raised, holding her breath.
"Ahhh!" Came the piercing scream. Time seamed to finally go back into place. Audra's lightning ball disappeared as she pulled out the arrow from her wrist. She clutched her wrist and looked at Kagome scathingly. Audra stood up to her full height and ran at Kagome.
"You will pay for that little girl." She said heatedly. Kagome's eyes went wide with fear and she quickly, almost automatically put an arrow to her bow and let it loose with a twang. Audra easily dodged it with ease and was now quickly covering the gap between them. Kagome was so scared she did the only thing she could.
"Inuyasha!" she screamed. She squeezed her eyes shut and held her arms up to her face, waiting the attack that was sure to befall upon her.
"Shankon Tetsusou!" roared an enraged Hanyou. Audra screamed in pain as Inuyasha's claws bore into her back. Inuyasha quickly pulled his hands loose and bound over Audra and landed in front of Kagome his hands covering his ears. When Audra stopped screeching she locked eyes with Inuyasha. The lightning in her eyes danced wildly in her eyes and made Kagome shudder. As it began to pour down raining, currents of lighting sparked all over Audra's body. Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga.
Kagome looked over Inuyasha's shoulder and past Audra, who was only ten feet away, and saw Sango begin to move. Sango struggled to get up. Barely standing she limped heavily over to her sword and pulled it from the ground. Then with all her might, as meager as it may be in her condition, she threw it like an Amazon would with a spear, at Audra. It seemed to take years before her sword could get anywhere near Audra.
Audra cocked her head to the side, the sword barely grazing her skin. A few locks of blond locks to the ground. Before the sword could fly completely past her, Audra grasped the swords hilt with the speed of the rapid lightning within her. She smiled one of her wickedly amused looks, and licked the sword, just letting her tongue touch the cold steely blade like it were candy. Than, without warning, she turned around and hurled it in much the same fashion that Sango herself threw it. Before she could move completely out of the way, the sword went through her shoulder, where her heart had been just a moment before. She collapsed to the ground again.
"Sango!" Kagome cried and was about to run to her injured friend.
"Will you stay here! You can help Sango later." Inuyasha said more as a command than a question. Kagome choked back tears and nodded. She took a few paces back.
"This is your last chance Hanyou, hand over those shards, or you will die, along with the girl. I'll make sure of that." She sputtered with venom.
"You touch her, and there won't be anything left of you to so much as yell for mercy." Inuyasha said quietly, with hatred behind it. There was no doubt in anyone's minds that he would carry out his threat too. Kagome's heart was swelling with happiness at Inuyasha defending her like he was, but breaking too.
Why is he doing this.because he loves you.Will you quit! He doesn't love me.I'm only a shard detector, a burden, a weak human.so than why does he protect me.Maybe he's having a hard time finding shards, and wants me back to help.maybe.but then.why make such a threat over me.
"Suit yourself, prepare to die." Audra raised her arms to the sky. Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts.
"Kagome, shoot her with one of your Purity Arrows." Inuyasha told Kagome, looking over his shoulder quickly subsequently looking back at Audra. Not meeting his eyes, she nodded and stepped next to him. Shippo hid behind the tree that was close by. Kagome tried to cock her arrow, but her hands were trembling so bad she dropped the arrow. Kagome bent over and quickly picked up the arrow. Inuyasha glanced at her.
What the heck is wrong with her.We've been in worse battles than this.and she's never acted this scared.so why.
He went back to paying attention to Audra and what her next move might be. Now Audra had a growing ball of lightning between her raised hands.
Kagome re-cocked the arrow to her bow, but her hands still shook. Inuyasha sheathed his sword but she wasn't paying attention. Then she felt warm calloused hands on hers, and they helped steady hers. She look at Inuyasha's warm caramel eyes and quickly turned back towards what she was doing, as she felt tears sliding down her cheeks. Inuyasha was shocked and worried, but didn't say a thing. Kagome aimed, and then pulled back.
Audra's ball of lightning now held the diameter of Tetsusaiga in it's transformed state.
"Lightning Crash!" Audra yelled and released at Inuyasha and Kagome. Now making it's way in their direction, it seemed to have a life of it's own, and made the hairs on Inuyasha and Kagome's neck prickle. An Evil and Satisfied looked to be permenantly melded onto her face.
"At the same time Kagome let loose her arrow with a satisfying twang. Only instead of an arrow, it seemed to be an almost exact replica of Audra's 'lightning crash', only instead of being completely made of lightning, Kagome's was made of the Miko powers she held with in herself.
Kagome's sphere of power flew with a blinding light.
Audra's lightning globe of lightning flew with a seering light.
And then they collided.
The collision of the two arrows caused a larger crater in the ground. The powers pushed against each other, neither showing any sign of letting down.
Now It came down to a battle of wills.
Authors Ending Note: Ooooh! Cliff hanger! So what do you peoples think? I really tried to be as descriptive as I could, without going over board, to help you picture the little movie thing going on in my head. So what will happen now? Will Inuyasha attack Audra with Tetsusaiga? Will Sango attack from behind? Will Miroku step in and help to abolish this evil foe? Or will Audra win? Till next time!
