Chapter 13:Death Of A Dead Priestess
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Kagome unsheathed her sword and ran towards the mercenary. She thrashed her weapon, but Bankotsu blocked her attacks with his banryuu.
The miko quickly tripped tripped Bankotsu and brought her sword down on him. He rolled to the, but Kagome ran to him once again. This time she pinned the mercenary down and raised her fist.
Bankotsu used his feet and pushed her off... Causing Kagome to fly behind him, she fell on her back and began to giggle.The Shichinintai leader gave her a confused look and ran to her side.
"Hook Line and Sinker!" Thought Kagome.
The priestess took that as her chance. She managed to kick him across the face. Bankotsu hit the ground and smirked at Kagome.
"You have grown to become a fine warrior." Bankotsu announced.
"I think your ready..."
Kagome's face lit up and she lunged at the mercenary. Bankotsu was on the ground yet again, he hugged the miko back and stood with her still clinging onto him...
Bankotsu gave a chuckle and they both walked back to the cave hand in hand. Kagome had been training for 1 full year and mastered the sword.
The miko advanced in her speed and her physical attacks are powerful. She was indeed ready to battle InuYasha and get rid of Kikyo once and for all...
When the two made it back to the cave, Bankotsu ran inside and met up with Kagome. Like before he had a budle in his arms and some sort of sheath.
"Kagome I got this for you..."
"It's your battle attire and also a new sword."
Kagome carefully took the clothes and weapon. She bowed and the went to the dark side of the cave. Kagome put on the hakamas first.
They were the same as her training hakamas but instead of blue they were a powder pink. Next Kagome pulled on the white top, the sleeves were skin tight and ended at her wrist.
It had metal armor on the shoulder and it showed more cleavage than the first top. There were two slits at the sides and it also had a black diamond symbol on the back.
Kagome attached the black sheath so it hung around her small waist. She emerged from the shadows and walked up to Bankotsu, wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I take it that you like it?" Questioned Bankotsu.
"I love it!" Kagome answered.
Bankotsu and the miko left the cave and headed outside. Kagome was a little nervous about fighting InuYasha so soon... The mercenary saw the look of worry on Kagome's face and stopped in his tracks.
"Kagome you don't have to do this if you don't want to..."
"I do... its just... maybe I should practice on someone first?" Said the priestess.
Bankotsu thought for a second and told Kagome that it was a good idea. Both walked around the forest in search of a demon or a warrior for Kagome to fight.
Far off in the distance both caught sight of a Whirl Wind coming their way...
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"I smell my Kagome!" Cheered a certain wolf demon.
He called of the tornado he was traveling in and sniffed the air. He gasped when their was another scent near the miko... Kouga ran as fast as he could towards Kagome's direction.
"If I'm not mistaken... I can smell Bankotsu!"
Kouga increased his speed, due to the jewel shards embeded into his legs. He ran leaving a form of dust as he went along... The wolf demon was nearing Kagome when he noticed the mercenary standing beside her.
Kouga stopped running and now stood infront of the miko. He noticed that she was equiped with a sword and had different clothes on...
"Get away from him Kagome!" Demanded Kouga.
The priestess smirked and unsheathed her sword, which she named Banrissu. Kouga looked dumbstruck, he didn't believe that his Kagome was challenging him to a battle.
"You can't be serious Kagome... I'm not gonna fight you..."
"You may not want to but I do!" The miko shouted.
She ran towards the wolf and swung her Banrissu, aiming for his neck... He dodged the sharp blade and had a look of fear glued on his face.
Kagome smirked and attacked again, this time aiming for his legs where the jewl shards were. She managed to graze his right leg and saw him winc in pain.
"My my... weak are we?" Said Kagome.
Kouga stared at her and managed to pin the miko down. She smirked at him and kicked the wolf off. Kouga flew backwards and landed on both feet.
Kagome laughed and ran at the wolf. Her banrissu raised over her head and plumetting for Kouga. He dodged and lightly kicked her side, making her fall to the ground.
Kagome grabbed her side and gave a little cough. She moaned and tried to stand but instead she fell. Kouga thought of what he just did and ran to Kagome's side.
The priestess smirked and gripped onto her sword. She laughed before letting the sharp blade cut Kouga's stomach, he howled in pain and jumped backwards.
His stomach had a large wound running across it. Kouga knew that he couldn't win and didn't even want to hurt Kagome... So he ran away leaving a dumbfounded miko.
Kagome shrugged her shoulders and walked to where the mercenary was. Bankotsu grinned and hugged the the priestess, she pulled away and said...
"Lets go and destroy that pitiful hanyou and that dead clay pot!"
Bankotsu nodded and they headed towards Keade's village. Where the final battle against InuYasha would take place... Kagome pictured herself killing Kikyo and letting her die slowly...
The leader of the Shichinintai saw Kagome suddenly smiling an evil cold smile and he followed suit. Letting his own smirk play across his tan face.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
InuYasha sniffed the summer air and noticed that Bankotsu and Kagome were near the village. The half demon sniffed the air again and this time he smelt blood... Koga's!
Kikyou could feel her reincarnation drawing closer and closer by the minute. The dead priestess took out her bow and arrows to prepare for the worste.
InuYasha saw what she was doing and knew that she was going to try and shoot down Kagome... All he did was stand still awaiting Kagome and the mercenary.
The hanyou could smell them getting closer it wouldn't be long now... They were only a few yards away.
InuYasha's eyes saw something shine in the sunlight...
The only thing he could think of was a sword. He didn't want to fight Kagome, all he wanted to do was kill Bankotsu for making her like this...
'No... this is all my fault... she turned out this way because of me...'
InuYasha shook those thoughts from his head and concentraited on the two figure now jumping into the air and landing right across from Kikyo and himself.
Kikyou readied herself and fire the first arrow at Kagome. The priestess jumped to the side and the arrow was embeded into a tree.
'Damn... my reincarnation is much stronger now!'
Kikyo quickly took out another arrow and fire it again. Kagome dodged it and was now running for her.
InuYasha jumped infront of the dead priestess to protect her.
Kagome smirked and raised her fist. She brought it forward to InuYasha's stomach and watched him fall to his knees and holding onto the area where he was punched...
Kikyo took out an arrow and aimed it at Kagome's heart. She released it and the priestess nearly dodged the pink glowing arrow.
Kagome ducked as fast as she could and the Kikyo only managed to get a few strands of hair. The miko quickly ran towards Kikyo and slashed her chest with the Banrissu.
Kikyo fell to the ground panting and trying to push the souls back inside of her. She felt herself being drained and still fought to keep atleast 1 soul.
Her blood was staining the ground and Kikyo's clothes. Kagome smirked at her fallen carnation and gave her an evil smirk...
Kikyo watched as the last soul escaped her body and hover into the sky. The last words she spoke before collapsing was...
"Damn... you..."
As soon as her body hit the ground it turned to dust and was blown away by the wind. InuYasha watched in horror as his 1st love died once again...
