i do not own inuyasha.

Inuyashangel thankx for the review

"Who said that," asked Inuyasha as Kagome and him began to scan the area.

"Why I did my halfbreed fiends," said a man who was dressed in a red and black shirt covered in silver spike armor from his right shoulder to his chest. He also had on metal plates around his kneecaps and hanging from his waits was a sword and two daggers. He began to walk toward the children who gasped when they saw his face. His face was half formed as a bird. He had a beak for a mouth and two narrow eyes the color of fire.

"Please dear annoyances don't be scared I'm only going to kill you," he replied with malice as he inched closer to Inuyasha and Kagome.

Both Inuyasha and Kagome were inching backwards until they hit the bark of a tree. Facing each other they were trembling with fear as the bird demon began to come closer to them until he was inches from their faces.

"Hmm you both smell very delicious," he whispered in their ears, "even if you are half breeds."

"Don't you touch her," shouted Inuyasha as the bird demon began to move toward Kagome.

"Oh forgive me I have not properly introduce myself now have I," he smirked glaring at Inuyasha, "I am Hiroke a demon bird of fire, or a phoenix if you will."

"Now where were we, ah yes my meal," said Hiroke as he trapped Kagome by the tree.

"I said not to touch her," Inuyasha shouted as he dug his claws into Hiroke's back. Stunned only for a moment Hiroke reached behind his back and grabbed Inuyasha by his neck until he yanked him free from his back.

"Did you honestly think a weak attack like that would hurt me," questioned Hiroke as he tighten his grip on Inuyasha.

"No… I… only did… it… to… fool… you," Inuyasha gasped. Hiroke was too busy with Inuyasha that Kagome had gotten away from Hiroke's gaze. Kagome was now in front of Hiroke baring her claws and fangs at him.

"Let Inuyasha go," threaten Kagome as she got into her fighting stance.

"Hmm as you wish," replied Hiroke as he slashed Inuyasha's side before he dropped him on the ground.

"I told you to let him go not hurt him," as she ran to Inuyasha's side.

"I did you never mentioned not to hurt him," replied Hiroke as he smirked, "I always have like fighting food even if it is half breeds."

"Kagome run," answered Inuyasha as he got up and prepared to fight.

"No, I'll fight with you," answered Kagome before he could retort with an answered she ran towards Hiroke baring her claws at him.

Kagome swung to the left ad right but could not land a single hit on the demon. Hiroke was too fast for her. Inuyasha then sprang into action as he clawed down on Hiroke. Something weird happened when Inuyasha clawed down on Hiroke streaks of lighting flew from his hands and slashed Hiroke's chest open.

"You'll regret hurting me halfbreed," replied Hiroke as he began to concentrate his energy.

"Quick lets run Inuyasha before he comes back," cried Kagome. Inuyasha just nodded as both began to run away from the demon. They were not so lucky because as soon as they ran a huge wave of fire had consumed the forest.

"Inuyasha there's no way out," cried Kagome as she began to panic.

"You half breeds have caused me too much trouble today. I am tired of fighting you now you must die," he shouted as a huge fireball zoomed next to Kagome and Inuyasha.

Quickly both Kagome and Inuyasha ran away from the fireball. It was no use because everywhere they ran another fireball was heading there way.

"Kagome split up," shouted Inuyasha.

"Why," she asked as they both dodged another fireball.

"He can't concentrate on both of us if we split," cried Inuyasha as he ran left while Kagome ran to the right understanding his plan.

"Over here stupid," cried Inuyasha as Hiroke threw a fireball his way.

"Can't catch me Hiroke," cried Kagome as Hiroke threw another ball her way.

Kagome and Inuyasha both kept dodging the fireballs until Hiroke seemed to be getting tired. At that moment both Kagome and Inuyasha landed on Hiroke's back where he shot two fireballs onto himself. Inuyasha and Kagome were both pushed away from the fireball explosion. Thinking the battle was over Kagome and Inuyasha began to help each other up.

"That was close Kagome you could have been killed," shouted Inuyasha.

"Yeah well so could you," she replied as she began to get off the ground and dust herself off. A shake in the ground broke Kagome and Inuyasha's gaze until they heard laughter. Hiroke's laughter rang out through the still burning forest.

"You fools think you could have defeated me by my own fire," he smirked, "I am immune to fire."

Suddenly Hiroke took out his sword which turned into a fire blade. He began to lift his sword in the air as a whirl of fire and wind formed making the energy turn into a turmoil of fire and wind in a ball. Finally he shot down the fireball aimed towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha could not move his body refused to move. He was in a trance with the fire when his eyes glazed over.

"Inuyasha move," shouted Kagome as she got in the way of the fireball shielding Inuyasha with her back.

A blast of red and purple light was seen in the battle. Hiroke and Kagome and Inuyasha could not believe what they had seen. A purple barrier was protecting Kagome and Inuyasha from Hiroke's attack.

"You idiot," shouted Hiroke as he charged toward Kagome and Inuyasha preparing to land another blow. Before he could succeed Kagome's barrier released a lighting attack blasting Hiroke into pieces.

"How did I do that," asked Kagome as the barrier began to disappear.

"I don't know," answered Inuyasha.

please read and review thanks.
