(A/N: I've been waiting for this chapter. A fight between Onigumo and Linca. Ooh, this is going to be good.)

Chapter 12: Indestructible

Onigumo glared at the Princess of the Western Lands. "Who the hell are you?" he demanded.

It was Kagome that answered, as she addressed her niece. "Linca, what are you doing here?"

Linca merely glanced at her. "Aunt Kagome, so he hasn't taken you yet." She said. "How fortunate."

Onigumo's eyes narrowed. "So, Linca, is it?" he growled.

"You better be careful!" Toriyasu cried. "She's Sesshomaru's daughter!"

Onigumo raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

Linca cocked her head to the side curiously. "You do not know my father? That's surprising. But you should know my mother."

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Onigumo shouted. "Just who are you?"

Linca thought about it. "That's actually hard to say. After all, you're responsible for Naraku's birth; that sort of makes you his father. Then again, you were reborn through him, so that also sort of makes you his son. So the question is, are you my great grandfather, or my uncle?"

Onigumo slammed his fist against the rock wall. "Damn it, will you stop talking in riddles?"

"She's Kagura's daughter." Kagome explained.

Onigumo looked confused for a moment. "Kagura? Who's Kag…" He suddenly recognized the name. "Oh yes, her. The Wind Sorceress. I remember her now. She's my 'sister', of sorts. So, you're her daughter."

"And you're a disgrace to the name of demon." Linca replied.

Onigumo just laughed. "I'm a bandit! Of course I'm a disgrace, you stupid bitch!"

Linca raised a silvery eyebrow. "Me stupid? You're the one that's stupid. You stole someone's mate. When other demons hear, they'll be breathing down your neck, ready to tear you to pieces. But it looks like I got to you first."

As quick as lightning, Linca lashed out, using an attack her father taught her. A whip made of demonic energy shot out of her index finger, whipping Onigumo over the top of his head, splitting him in two, right down the middle.

Onigumo blinked in confusion, as if he didn't realize what had happened. But then the two halves of him began to fall away. But they immediately stopped, and, like a magnet, came back together and healed.

"You're fast." He said. "But you'll have to do better than that if you want to defeat me."

Linca didn't reply. She wordlessly reached to her side and unsheathed her sword. It was a marvelous weapon, not a mark on it, even though it had slain countless demons. Forged from her father's fang and carved by her mother's wind attacks, Katou was a very powerful weapon.

With a single swipe, a blast of demonic energy surged through Linca, into Katou, and at Onigumo. The demon's head was sliced clean off his shoulders by an attack similar to Kagura's Dancing Blades. His body remained standing for a moment before it collapsed to the ground.

Linca looked at the beheaded Onigumo with a blank expression. "Care to stop exaggerating?" she said.

There was a chuckle from Onigumo's head as his body stood up, picking up his head and reattaching it to his body. "You're no fun." He said. He got into a fighting position. "Show me what you can really do."

In a flash, Linca moved forward. She moved with such speed that she appeared to be a blur. Swinging Katou, she cut Onigumo's upper body off his lower half. But she wasn't done yet, knowing that he could reattach himself. She spun around and swung Katou again while unleashing a powerful blast of demonic energy, similar to the Wing Scar. Onigumo was blasted to bits, pieces of his body flying here and there.

The others looked on in amazement. "Did she do it?" asked Toriyasu. "Did she kill him?"

Linca ignored the little demon as she focused on Onigumo's remains. 'Something's wrong.' She thought. 'It's not over yet. His remains are still unleashing too much demonic energy.'

As these thoughts went through her mind, the pieces of Onigumo began to move. They came together at his very core and molded into a single piece of flesh once again, which reshaped itself into Onigumo.

"Don't you get it, you fool?" He turned to Linca with a triumphant grin on his face. "I can't be killed."

Linca looked unimpressed. Onigumo's ability to regenerate, as well as his nakedness, didn't seem to bother her in any way. She was as cool and confident as ever. "We will see." She said tonelessly. "You seem to have control over every piece of your body. So slaying you seems to be out of the question. But I have a theory."

She swung Katou again, unleashing a vast amount of demonic energy. Onigumo tried to avoid, but was still partly caught in the blast. His entire arm and part of his torso were obliterated.

"Damn it! You bitch!"

The minor wounds he sustained healed immediately, but his missing limb did not.

Finally Linca smirked. "So I was right. All it takes to kill you is to completely destroy your body."

Onigumo looked angry for a moment, but then he snickered. "So, you think you have me figured out, do you? Well I have a backup plan."

Using his remaining hand, he put his thumb and index fingers against his lips and whistled loudly. A few moments later a swarm of poisonous insects flew up from the trees below.

Linca looked at the wasp-demons curiously. "Saimyōshō?" she said.

Onigumo chuckled as the wasp-demons landed on the place his missing limb was. His skin seemed to stick to the Saimyōshō as they appeared to melt down into new skin and reform. Onigumo had his arm back and was completely healed.

"I can use other demons to rebuild my body." He said.

'He's just like Naraku.' Kagome thought.

Linca shook her head. "Foolish insects. Sacrificing their lives to keep scum like you alive. But I guess lesser demons like them don't have much of a life to begin with."

Onigumo just sneered at her, turning his arms into tentacles. "Well, you've had your chance, now it's my turn."

He attacked, lashing out with his tentacle. Linca easily dodged them, move with great speed. She matched Onigumo's blows, blocking with Katou, and still managed to land blows of her own. She was indeed a master swordswoman. Even Kikyou, as she watched the battle, had to reluctantly admit that she was impressed, silently to herself of course, never out loud. Soon Onigumo went from being on the offense to the defense. The Princess of the Western Lands really had Onigumo on the run. Her movements were so swift that Onigumo was having great difficulty keeping up as he blocked with his tentacles. He would have been chopped pieces had it not been for his extra sense that made up for his lack of face that allowed him to pick up Linca's movements. But any injuries he did take immediately healed.

"Why do you continue?" he asked. "You can't kill me."

"I would never lose to a miserable excuse for demon like you." Linca replied calmly.

Onigumo laughed. "Fool, do you really think you can defeat me?"

From out of nowhere, a large scorpion tail burst out of Onigumo's rear. Its stinger flew at Linca with lightning speed. Katou was currently blocking on of Onigumo's tentacles, unable to stop the stinger. But Linca released her sword with one hand and grabbed the stinger before it could reach her.

But that left her open. Onigumo's other tentacle flew at Linca. She stepped backwards to avoid the attack, but was surprised when it suddenly changed. A large demon hand sprouted at the end of Onigumo's tentacles, formed a fist, and collided with Linca's face.

She stumbled backwards as Onigumo smirked. "Ha, how do you like that, bitch?"

Linca remained where she was, not moving an inch. Her head was still turned to the side from the impact of the blow. But slowly she turned to face Onigumo again. When she was facing him again Onigumo took a step back fearfully.

"You will pay for that." She seethed, showing the temper she had inherited from her mother.

Linca's eyes were glowing with an angry red light as her hair and clothes whipped around her as if she were in a caught in a powerful gust of wind. Her claws seemed to extend around Katou as her teeth became razor sharp fangs, an angry hiss escaping from them.

Toriyasu gulped. "Is she going to transform?" he asked nervously.

"I don't know." Kagome replied, putting a barrier up around them all, just in case.

An angry red demonic aura emitted from Linca's body as she growled at her opponent. She raised Katou, the mighty sword pulsing with power.

"Die!" she roared, swinging Katou and unleashing her attack, which was much more powerful than anything she had used against Onigumo yet.

The blast was too big. Onigumo couldn't escape it, not even if he jumped over the ledge. He had no choice but to get into a defensive position and take the blast, getting completely blown away.

Linca's power died down as her attack ended. There was only a very small portion of Onigumo left. His very core, covered by a burn scar in the shape of a spider. Almost immediately the Saimyōshō flew in, landing on the pulsing core of Onigumo, willingly sacrificing their lives so he could regenerate. The demon insects molded together and became new flesh, which once again reformed into a completely unharmed Onigumo.

It's useless." He said, smirking at Linca.

But the Princess of the Western Lands wasn't listening. She was studying Onigumo curiously. He was indeed very hard to kill. His ability to regenerate was quite a nuisance. And whenever he received an injury that would take a long time to kill, such as losing a limb, he would use those pesky Saimyōshō to reform himself.

But during his last recovery, Linca had been paying very close attention to the process. Yes, Onigumo was difficult to kill, but he had a weakness. The spider mark on his back. It was his core. If she killed that Onigumo wouldn't be able to regenerate, Saimyōshō or not. He would finally die.

"So," she said, sounding emotionless once again, "now I know how to kill you."

(A/N: How was that? Did I give you a good fight? I don't know about you, but my favorite part was when Linca got really pissed off. Thank you for reading. I have decided to write a little poem for you. Roses are read, violets are blue. I updated quickly, so please review
