Kuri landed next to Sesshomaru and Jaken. "How DARE you use me like that!"
"Only a human would think this was about you," he replied, brushing his hair back. "You are so arrogant. This is about Tessaiga."
"You can't pull the sword out," Kuri replied viciously. "I saw you try and fail."
"SHUT UP SESSHOMARU!" Inuyasha said, coming in with Reiko.
Sesshomaru turned to his half brother and attacked him in one swift moment. "I will kill you here. You have served your purpose, little brother. You are an insult to Father's memory. You and your tainted blood."
Kuri grabbed the Tessaiga and put it to Sesshomaru's throat. "Tainted blood? The fact that Inuyasha's a hanyou is what makes him better than you. He alone has the power to wield the Tessaiga. And you…you are just a third rate copy of him!"
Sesshomaru, tiring of Kuri's insults, grabbed her by the throat and held her aloft, knocking the Tessaiga out of her hands and onto the ground. "Foolish human. How dare you compare me to him!"
He moved to strike, but Inuyasha was faster and knocked Sesshomaru off of me. "Don't you touch her!"
"So you do have a weakness for this human girl?" Sesshomaru said. "You are truly a fool."
With those words he began to transform. Kuri stood, picking up the sword. "Inuyasha! Fight with the sword! I feel its power!"
"She's right! You just need to tap into it!" Reiko said.
"You two shut up and get to higher ground!" Inuyasha yelled back.
Kuri drew her sword. "I will fight by your side!"
"Idiot!" Inuyasha yelled. "You'll die from the gases!"
"Not gonna happen!" Kuri yelled. "You will die too!"
"Let me protect you!" he yelled.
Kuri's eyes widened. Kuri climbed up to higher ground and watched as he made short work of Sesshomaru with the newly transformed Tessaiga. Kuri suddenly felt a pulse of a different sort and looked at my sister.
She looked worried as hell and a little sick.
"Sis?" Kuri put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry; Inuyasha will be okay."
"I hope so…" she whispered.
Inuyasha grabbed me. "Are you two ok?"
"Yes. We knew you'd kick his butt." Kuri healed her sister and smiled at Inuyasha.
"What are you talkin about now?" Inuyasha said.
Kuri laughed. "Let's go, Inuyasha."
