Chapter 12: Lupin's New Form

Lupin smiled clenching his fist slightly crushing a stone in his hand. "Now you have no hope at all," he said smiling.

"There's always hope…," Kagome said.

Miroku slowly stood then coughed up blood as Lupin appeared in front of his slamming his fist into Miroku's stomach. Miroku's body bent over Lupin's fist shuddering slightly. He looked at Lupin and smirked slightly slashing his chest.

Lupin blinked blood forming and smiled jumping up through the hole Miroku caused. Landing on the roof he jumped again and threw Miroku down forcefully through the stone ceiling!

Sango blinked seeing Miroku's body suddenly come flying down. "No!" she yelled running towards him.

They saw a blur suddenly pass by Miroku's body being rescued from the ground. Flash stood there smiling some finally woke up his body healed while he slept. "I can't leave for two seconds without something exciting happening!" he exclaimed.

Miroku was knocked out cold but still alive.

Sango smiled in relief. "Thank you…"

"Don't forget about me!" a voice suddenly cried. Rinku stepped up smiling still bleeding slightly but ok other than that.

"And me...," Keiko said her eyes narrowed.

Lupin came down smiling then blinked. "Well…everyone's back up now, not fair I'd say so then I guess I'll have to call back my puppet. Ladon!" he yelled as the stone Ladon was on shifted.

Ladon slowly stood appearing at Lupin's side smirking. He was fully healed and he no longer seemed like the Ladon that Kagome had beat.

"You see Ladon is my golem of sorts. He always has been all he knows is fighting unless I tell him otherwise. But for right now…there is no otherwise. Ladon you can attack them as much as you want and not be afraid to kill them."

Ladon smirked and charged pulling out two swords. He charged for Kagome then disappeared slashing at Rinku.

Rinku blocked with a small blade of grass he made into a thin needle. It may have looked weak but it could probably slice through steel.

( So many characters to take care of…)

"We'll take care of Ladon while your group takes care of Lupin," Yuu said slowly standing placing his hand over his chest. Sending aura directly into it his wounds slowly healed.

"Gladly," Kagome said charging Lupin. She slashed with her sword then swung his foot into his side delivering another slash.

Lupin began to slash at her then blinked as his arm was suddenly pulled back. Inuyasha stood there panting using his strength just to keep Lupin from attacking.

"Pests!" Lupin yelled and suddenly swung his arm flinging Inuyasha halfway across the room.

Keiko leapt up at Ladon slashing with two swords both blocked with his two.

Rinku came in with his slicing into Ladon's side then lurched forward onto his knees as Ladon's foot slammed into his stomach.

"Fool…," Ladon said in a slurred voice.

"You're the one talking like a drunk," Yuu said firing an arrow at Ladon. He blinked when a simple sweep of the sword parried his arrow. "How did…," He began then blinked as Ladon's body glowed. "Of course…he's drawing energy from the Spirit Orb that's in Lupin."

Flash charged in taking Yuu away as Ladon slashed.

Sango and Kit came in doing a double team attack. Sango had gotten her sword and Kit got hers. They came in from behind delivering a slash to each arm. Shorin appeared in front of Lupin blasting his chest as Kagome slashed across his chest. The sword didn't go in deep but now blood was forming.

Lupin roared in pain a ball of energy formed from his chest sweeping across the entire room. (Much like the fire wave in my last book, same affects and all)

Ladon blinked as his body was suddenly wiped out him being closest. He was only a golem and was easily destroyed as soon as the wave touched him.

Kit blinked and created a barrier decreasing the force right before it broke. She gasped softly as her feet lifted up off the ground crashing into the arena dust flying around her.

Yuu slid across the arena bouncing out on the hard floor and lay there silently.

Rinku hit the ceiling head first crashing into the wall soon after his eyes closed.

Flash blinked and began running away from the wave grabbing everyone. Soon though his speed wasn't enough as the wave threw him into Lupin who delivered a roundhouse kick to his small body kicking him into the door he came through.

Inuyasha leapt in front of Kagome grabbing her as he hit a wall. He slid down it slowly protecting Kagome from the blast.

Miroku's limp body was thrown easily across the room landing next to Kit crashing full force. If he would manage to live through it he would be lucky.

Sango and Kit who had been behind Lupin got thrown backwards crashing side by side into the ground.

Shorin created his own barrier willing it not to break then fell to his knees. The barrier shattered as he wavered picking him up and flinging him into the side of the arena.

"You rats put up a good fight but in the end I won," Lupin said smirking his breathing heavy.

"Who said you won…," a voice said.

Lupin turned around seeing Kagome standing there her clothes torn. She looked ragged and like a murderer now more than ever.

"I just think I figured out how to beat you," Kagome said. Walking over channeled Spirit Energy into the sword giving enough to everyone as she breathed heavily. "Not all of its mine some of it is this sword but I think that now that everyone can fight we can probably beat you."

"Kagome…," Kit said softly. "Do you think if you and I attack instantly and then have the rest attack we can win?"

"You read my mind Kit that's exactly what my plan was going to be."

Rinku smiled his hands up as vines suddenly bound Lupin down gagging him.

Everyone nodded hearing this plan as Kit and Kagome charged. Kit unleashed a blast into Lupin and Kagome swiftly slashed him leaping to the side. Keiko charged in with her sword slashing his other side jumping out of the way as Inuyasha stabbed his stomach quickly.

Yuu fired the Arrow Barrage and Shorin blasted him with a large barrage of lightning.

When the smoke cleared all that remained was the Spirit Staff and the Spirit Orb.

"It's finally over…," Kagome said.

"I say we seal them," Keiko said as everyone nodded in agreement.

6 months later Shorin and Kit had gotten married. It was love at first sight for the two and everyone was there. Unexpectedly Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken had shown up. Rin was the most excited and kept shouting out 'yay' through the entire thing.

With those two being happy Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other. They were thinking about doing the same.

"Maybe next time…," Inuyasha said.

Kagome nodded before slowly kissing him.

For once there was a happy ending.
