Shikon Cruise
Show-Down: Kagome vs. Kikyo part 2
Last time on Shikon Cruise
"Ok let's keep this clean you know the rules, you do anything dirty and I'll throw your ass of the boat myself" Sango said
"Get ready………………………………" She paused for dramatic affect
"Get on with it!" Someone yelled
"Fine…Fight!" Sango yelled
Kikyo and Kagome took their stands…
Present time
Kagome watched as Kikyo took in her form. She stood still, not wanting to let her know anything. Kagome raised her fists more, her legs at shoulder length. Kikyo did the same, she was ready for anything.
Just as Kagome thought, Kikyo charged, she punch Kagome in the gut with her right arm and then brought her left leg over and kicked Kagome in the head, Kagome fell to the floor at the sudden blows, she got up and stood in her fighting stance, still not doing anything.
Kikyo charged again, this time sliding down, sweep kicking Kagome. Kagome was in mid fall when Kikyo kicked her in the gut, Kagome's body went flying to the crowd, they moved away and she hit the side of the boat with immense force.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled.
"Kagome Higurashi! I challenged you to a fight! Yet you haven't lifted a finger! Fight or you know what I'll do!" Kikyo screamed harshly, Kagome was on her hands and knees, blood was slowly making it's way from her throat to her awaiting mouth, she held her stomach as new tears stung her brown eyes.
'If I don't fight…she'll hurt Yasha, I know he loves her, I can't let this happen!' Kagome thought as she got up, she went into her stance once again, this time tears falling, she waited…
In the crowd
"Hey, Sango! What's with the crowd?" InuYasha asked as he made his way through, Sesshomaru had told Miroku to get him and they had just arrived.
"Kikyo and Kagome…are having a fight." Sango said. Her eyes were still glued to the two girls.
"What?! Why?!" InuYasha yelled.
"For you…now shut up!" Sango demanded.
InuYasha stood there, he then turned to watch the fight himself, Sesshomaru and Miroku joined as well.
Back to the action
"Come on!" Kikyo yelled, she charged again, she tried to kick Kagome in the chest, but Kagome blocked it with her arms, she was getting pushed back a lot. Kikyo was showing no mercy.
Kagome had blood trickling down the right side of her mouth and tears falling down, yet she kept quiet, the pain in her eyes showed brightly… but this pain wasn't from Kikyo, it was from the fact that Kikyo, her friend was making her fight…
"Kagome, get a move on!" Kagura yelled. She was standing by Sesshomaru.
Kagome got kicked in the gut again; she withered in pain, Kagura cringed and buried her head into Sesshomaru's chest, he was shocked but then wrapped his arms around her as Kagura heard Kagome grunt in pain.
Kagome was on the ground with her arms blocking her from some of Kikyo's blows. She was pushed back when suddenly Kikyo's foot came flying at the side of her head and knocked her over to the crowd, her body was limp.
She slowly made her way back up, tears were starting to blur her vision, and she saw Kikyo walking over and braced herself. Kagura was about to interfere.
"Don't." Sesshomaru said as he grabbed her arm, Kagura was starting to struggle "This is Kagome's fight; you have to learn…you won't always be there to protect her." Sesshomaru said sternly, Kagura's eyes filled with liquid as she hugged Sesshomaru, he held her as she cried.
"Kagome!" Kikyo yelled, trying to get her to fight, Kikyo was furiously punching Kagome, yet she wouldn't move.
Kagome stood up again, her arm sprained, her ankle was on fire, her gut throbbing with pain, her vision blurring, either because of the tears or blood loss, Kagome didn't know, she was ready, she knew she wouldn't fight…
"Kikyo…please…" Kagome begged, Kikyo just stared at her in disgust before kicking her.
"Kagome! FIGHT! She wants this!" Sango cried, Miroku was holding her in his arms, trying to calm her down.
"Kagome!" Kilala yelled Kagome was losing quite an amount of blood; Shippo held her hand as if reassuring her that Kagome would make it.
"Kagome! Please! Fight!" Ayame screamed Koga was standing beside her and he had his arm around her waist, making sure she wouldn't go over there.
Kagome stood up again, and smiled, blood stained her lips, tears made streams down her face, and yet she stood and smiled, Kikyo's eyes started to water, but before anyone saw, she punched Kagome in the jaw and saw as she flipped to the side of the boat. Kikyo held her head down, InuYasha was about to intrude.
"Kagome! Kikyo stop it!" InuYasha yelled he was about to go, when Miroku, Koga, Ayame and Kilala stopped him, they held him in place as his eyes started to sting with the familiar string of tears, he struggled but they wouldn't let him go.
"Why!? Let me go!" He yelled, Kagome was almost in a state of unconsciousness, and they still wouldn't let him go.
"InuYasha, please try and understand, this is their fight not yours, don't try to be the hero, Kagome needs to fight for herself this time, and you can't help, none of us can." Miroku told his best friend, InuYasha stopped struggling and slumped in defeat. They were right; he couldn't save them, not this time…
"I will hurt him!" Kikyo yelled, Kagome finally woke up from her daze to see Kikyo's eyes, they were lit with fury and anger and she did mean what she had just said, Kagome nodded, she got up. Her body weakened from blood loss and her throat burned she could still taste the metallic taste from her own blood; she still tried to stand up straight. She got into her stance and waited.
Kikyo charged once again, this time Kagome blocked her gut and then she brought her right leg over and kicked Kikyo's arm, Kikyo's body went with her arm and then Kagome punched her square in the jaw.
Kikyo spat a bit of blood up, she was on her hands and knees, Kagome came up and kicked her in her side, Tears still falling silently, she then picked Kikyo up by her shirt and punched her in the gut with her left fist, then brought her right leg over and just as she dropped Kikyo she kicked her as well. Kikyo's frail body went flying into the other side of the boat, the students watched in awe.
Kagome slowly walked over to Kikyo's already limp body…
Mr. and Mr. Yamata
"Hey, homey should we stop your students before they kill themselves?" Mr. Yamata asked, looking over his news paper.
Mrs. Yamata looked out from the window, to see Kagome Kicking Kikyo in the gut; she thought for a while and then turned to her husband.
"Um….No, pass the sugar please." Mrs. Yamata asked, Mr. Yamata nodded and handed her the sugar, then went back to reading the news paper.
Back to the showdown
Kagome's eyes bleed with tears as she heard Kikyo grunt in pain, she stopped and fell to the ground thinking Kikyo was almost dead. Kagome cried hard, her pain coming clear as crystal.
As Kagura watched her saw Kikyo get up and walk over to Kagome's crying form.
"Kagome!" Kagura watched. Sesshomaru held her back from her waist.
"Kagome look at me." Kikyo whispered sweetly, Kagome looked up, her eyes swollen and red.
"Kik-kikyo…I'm so…sorry…" Kagome whispered in pain, Kikyo held her face in her hands and then smirked.
"You fool…" She said as she let go and kicked Kagome in the face, Kagome's body flew into the air to the edge of the boat, her body slammed with the side, she then fell over.
'K-Kikyo…how could you?' Kagome asked as rage took its toll over her.
Kagome got up, her head casted down, Kikyo walked over and was about to kick her again, but Kagome punched it out of the way and then kicked her in the face with everything she had, Kikyo's form went flying over the side of the boat, the crowd was silent, but then let a sigh of relief when Kikyo grabbed the edge, Kagome snapped out of her rage and started panicking.
"Kikyo!" She yelled as she put an arm over for her, Kikyo smiled and took the arm…only to pull Kagome over the edge with her, Kagome let out a silent scream as she tried to reach for the edge.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats, had they been sitting.
"Holy fuck!" Shippo cursed.
"Dammit…" Sango swore, they all were about to walk over and get their class mates up.
"Hold you horses! Anyone move and I'll hurt you worse then Kikyo and Kagome combined!" Kagura threatened, they all stood still…except for InuYasha who was still trying to get Miroku, Koga, Ayame and Kilala off of him.
On the side of the boat
Kikyo and Kagome hung lifelessly on the side, the water under them thrashing against the boat. As it splashed against the boat, the wind picked up, and howled.
"Hey you guys ok?" Sango asked from were she was.
"Been better." Kagome joked, 'Wait why the hell am I joking right now? I'm almost about to plunge into a shark infested ocean!' Kagome's mind screamed.
"Kagome." Kikyo looked at her, Kagome looked back.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Why won't you fight?!" Kikyo yelled.
Kagome stared at her and then shrugged.
"Because I don't want to hurt my friend."
"You're so stupid!" Kikyo cursed "This isn't about me! This is about if your worthy of InuYasha! I don't care how hurt I am, but I wanna know that you're good enough!" Kikyo shouted, the waves were crashing wildly beneath them.
"W-What?" Kagome stuttered.
"I-I…I always felt inferior to you…and when you took InuYasha's heart I realized…You really are better then me, your perfect, but I wasn't gonna give up this time Kagome, I want to make sure your worthy of him!" Kikyo cried. Kagome stared at her, astonished.
"So please Kagome fight." Kikyo whispered as she flipped over the side and back onto the boat, the crowd cheered.
Kagome hung there for a bit, and then she smiled 'If it's a fight you want…then it's what you're gonna get…'
Kagome twisted her body over the boat and landed in her stance again.
"You're gonna get a fight, alright, but it's not gonna be your way, it's gonna be Kagome style." Kagome winked and then charged for Kikyo, she punched her in the gut but was blocked by Kikyo's arms, Kikyo went to kick her but Kagome ducked, then she brought her outer leg around and kicked Kikyo in the side.
As Kikyo was recovering from the shock, Kagome's leg was brought straight down onto Kikyo's shoulder. Kikyo fell to the ground but rolled out of the way as Kagome brought her foot down, Kikyo grabbed Kagome's foot and then kicked it with her own.
Kagome grunted as her leg was kicked in, but pushed Kikyo off of her. She turned around and smiled. Kikyo smiled back, everyone cheered as they saw the girls finally fight.
"Go Kags!" Kilala yelled, Shippo was holding her waist as she jumped up and down. Ayame cheered as well.
"Fight it Kag!" She screamed as Koga picked her up and put her on his shoulders, he smirked up at her as she blushed.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Sango screamed, Miroku laughed beside her and cheered as well, Sesshomaru was holding Kagura as she smiled and cheered.
"That's right! Throw her off the fucking boat!" 'Seems she got her spunk back…' Sesshomaru sighed and rolled his eyes, debating weather or not that was a good thing.
InuYasha stood there, he saw the two girls put everything they had into the fight, and smiled…sure he cared for Kikyo…but as a friend would care for another friend…he had grown to depend on Kagome, he… his soul and heart had grown to love Kagome.
He smiled as she laughed and fought, she was fighting for him…and that put a smile on his face.
"Go Kagome!" InuYasha yelled "You too Kikyo!" He smiled at them both.
"You hear that?" Kikyo asked as she blocked another punch.
"Yup…wait he's been watching this whole time...freaky much?" Kagome joked, she high kicked Kikyo and she went flying, she stopped herself and stood up.
"Not bad…for an amateur." Kikyo smirked.
"Oh please, I'm the amateur? Bring it." Kagome taunted, Kikyo charged and started to kick Kagome with everything she had, and Kagome blocked them skillfully.
"Ok here I go!" Kagome yelled as she jumped in the air and twisted her self to land right behind Kikyo, she stood behind her as Kikyo swung around and kicked, Kagome ducked and punched Kikyo in the gut, Kikyo fell over, but got up quickly.
Kagome charged, punching harder and harder, Kikyo kicked Kagome in the chest, but Kagome didn't get pushed back too far.
"Come on!" Some girl named Kanna yelled, she was cheering for Kikyo.
"Let's do it Kagome!" Kikyo smirked, Kagome smirked right back,
Kikyo punched Kagome while they ran. Kagome did a back flip and then skid to a stop, with her right hand and feet. She got up and then kicked Kikyo repeatedly, Kikyo blocked a few, but Kagome managed to sweep kick her.
Kikyo fell but landed on one of her hands then popped herself back up Kagome stood up as well, the charged for each other again, Kikyo jumped and was going to high kick Kagome's head but Kagome ducked and turned around, she then kicked Kikyo in the back.
Kikyo got back up and ran for Kagome.
Kagome stood with her back to Kikyo and then rammed her elbow on Kikyo's shoulder, Kikyo was about to fall when Kagome turned around and wrapped her leg around the back of Kikyo's neck she the hit her elbow to Kikyo's shoulder blade and then let go altogether.
She then turned around and kicked Kikyo in the chin; Kikyo went flying and finally hit the ground with a very hard thud. Kagome skid over and flipped Kikyo over, holding her right arm behind her back. Kikyo lay there, perfectly still; she smiled at Kagome and then said in a very loud and clear as crystal voice.
"I give, Kagome Higurashi wins!" Kikyo panted out, everyone cheered.
"Woo Hoo!" Sango yelled, she and Kagura ran to Kagome, Kagome got up and then picked Kikyo up, they high fived.
"Good job." Kagome smiled.
"You won; I hope you and InuYasha are happy." She whispered with a wink, their friends came running at them.
Kagome smiled but was a bit dizzy, Sango and Kilala supported her, Kagura walked over to Kikyo and stood in front of her.
"Yes, Kagura?" Kikyo asked politely.
"…I…respect what you tried to do, and I'm glad that you were always on Kagome's side, even if it didn't seem like it." Kagura sighed.
Kikyo smiled "Thank you Kagura."
"Hey it's not like we're friends now, I still wish God would smite you." Kagura smirked, Kikyo smirked back, Kagura then went to Sesshomaru who held her and smirked as well.
"So you two are ok now?" He asked, Kagura leaned into his body and nodded.
"Kagome! Awesome job!" People congratulated her; they went over to Kikyo and told her the same.
InuYasha smiled as he saw Kagome laughed with some friends, he walked over and stood in front of Kagome.
"Kagome…that was...some skillful work…for you that is." InuYasha smirked, Kagome stuck out her tongue and almost tripped, InuYasha caught her, her tongue was sadly still out.
"Loser." InuYasha smirked.
"Sorry Kagome, lost our balance, you ok?" Kilala asked, Sango nodded.
"Yeah." Kagome whispered, the two left, thinking the couple needed some time.
"Are you ok?" InuYasha asked.
Kagome nodded but then whimpered in pain as she almost fell, InuYasha caught her and held on to her a bit tighter, he smiled as Kagome looked up at him.
"I'm so sure." He said, Kagome's eyes turned into a glare, he chuckled and said.
"How about I take you to your room and then I'll bandage you up ok?" He asked.
"Yeah sure…" Kagome smiled, she looked back at Kikyo and saw her smiling as well, and she mouthed 'Good luck' and did thumbs up.
Kagome and InuYasha walked back into Kagome's room as everyone watched.
"They are so gonna fall in love." Sango and Kagura said out loud, after they left, the whole crowd nodded, which was the whole school, boys and girls.
"You can bet on that." Some girl said.
"Uh huh." Another guy said. Koga looked at Kagome's retreating form, when Ayame put her hand into his.
"Don't worry…" She smiled; Koga tightened his hand around hers 'Maybe I don't need her, when I have you.' Koga thought.
"Ok so who wants to get dunk?" Asked Kilala.
"Shut up!" The crowd yelled.
"Gees, it was only a suggestion." Kilala rolled her eyes as Shippo held her and laughed; they all laughed and headed back in.
