Chapter 15: The Fight: Who Will Win?

(-15)(-15)(-15)(-15)(-15)

000000Last Time000000

"…I sure hope so." He answered slowly and Souta started a new wave of tears. They ended up in a field in the middle of nowhere about thirty-five miles away. They saw two things going at each other: spark of pink and blue power and black and lavender power colliding then repelling against each other then do it all over again. The black and lavender power bounced off the pink and blue and crashed against a tree and literally broke it clear in half. Dust rose and a body appeared out of the cloud, battered and bruised, her whole eyes pure black.

000000This Time0000000

It was Kagome. She was in her battle uniform (A/N: see chapter…seven), it already battered and ripped from only five minutes. Kikyo was in the same thing, the color was pink with the outline of flowers in dark blue and a blue belt. Hers wasn't in much better shape than Kagome's. Kikyo hovered in the air, laughing her eyes a covered pink as Kagome's was in black. "Had enough, little sister?" She asked, throwing another energy bolt. Kagome roared inhumanly at Kikyo and went back at her, yelling curses at her.

Inuyasha and the rest and looked at them, amazed. Kagome was just normally a human and just got up after knocking a tree in half! Sango was even scared. She's never EVER seen Kagome like this. As the fight went on, the group having to move and even protect themselves from the sister's wrath. Souta eventually came out from behind Inuyasha, now ready to look upon his sisters' feud. His eyes grew narrower and narrower, getting angrier by the minute at the physical harm they were causing each other, and the emotional harm they were causing him. Finally after seeing all he wanted to, his aura started building up.

He didn't even know he had powers. He had trained a few times with his sisters, hoping to see if he had powers to maybe match his sisters, or if he had powers at all. His tries proved fruitless, as he gave up on the powers thing. But now, now he felt something that he had never felt so much of before. He felt anger, hurt, and disappointment; maybe even hate toward his sisters actions. He felt it in the very depths of his heart, awakening something he never knew he had. A dark blue energy blew up around him, orange glow covering his body and dark blue marks that looked like flames started adorning his face and body.(A/N: kind of like Sasuke, from Naruto, when he got that curse mark and it took over him) Due to this sudden outburst, the group split up looking at Souta in sudden awe. "Souta, Souta, SOUTA! What are you doing! What's happening! Souta!" Sango screamed out, reaching a hand out to touch him. Her hand didn't even get through the first layer of blue. Once she touched it, she pulled it back, a burning sensation overcoming her fingers. Souta paid no attention to her however.

"KAGOME! KIKYO!" He screamed as he prolonged the last syllable of their names. Gritting his teeth he was propelled in the middle of them, spreading out his arms as a dark blue fire came out and burned them as they backed away.

"Souta!" Kagome growled out, "What are you doing? Stop it before you get hurt!" She growled more.

"Don't make me have to kill you too, runt!" Kikyo yelled out.

"Haven't you even realized I have my powers now!" he yelled, his eyes starting to turn Orange. He received no answer as Kikyo flew beside him, and sent a spirit ball right to his chest, causing him to fly into a tree. He didn't give up and went after them time and time again, trying to stop it. He was on his last leg on about the tenth try and went into the middle of them and to the group, it looked like a lavender and black light and pink and light blue light coming for each other but a dark blue and orange light intercepting as he floated there, dark blue flames shooting from his hands, burning them more. "I. SAID,STOP IT!" He screamed, the flames getting bigger. They shrunk back more, not wanting to get burned by Souta's toxic flames.

"Souta this isn't your problem! This is Kikyo's and mine's feud! You have nothing to do with it so STAY OUT OF IT!" Kagome screamed, her hands glowing.

"She's right. MOVE IT!" Kikyo yelled.

"NO!" He said determined. Kikyo kicked him and sent him flying into some brush below as he passed out from exhaustion.

"SOUTA!" Kagome screamed and turned to Kikyo, growling. "DON'T BE SO ROUGH! He's only a kid!" she screamed, launching at Kikyo. Kikyo blocked and pretended as though she was holding a bow and arrow as one appeared in her hands and she fired it at Kagome. She dodged it, but it came back around and stuck her in the back. Kagome grunted and reached behind her pulling the now solid arrow out, tossing it to the ground and held her hands out as a spear formed and materialized. She took a deep breath. "Spirit into the Spear!" she yelled, merging her spirit with the spear as it once again grew large pads on the side and had the lightning bolts on it. Upon seeing she did it, she smiled, looking over at Kikyo to see what she had.

Kikyo held the bow and arrow and she also took a deep breath. "Spirit into the bow and arrow!" she yelled, her spirit merging with the bow an arrow. To be honest, Kagome was surprised the bow and arrow didn't burst in flames for being in such close contact with Kikyo's soul. The bow glowed as pads, similar to Kagome's showed up around the front of the bow, in like a shield thing, going half way around but leaving a hole for the arrow to fly. Around the other parts there was a sphere of light blue energy. Once she was done she panted a bit, having a hard time with it.

"That's right, grandma DID tell me I did BETTER than you for spirit merging. Maybe it's because you have such a rotten spirit." Kagome said and smirked. Kikyo growled as her eyes glowed more and put her bow in front of her.

"Rapid Arrow Attack!" She yelled as it seemed like a thousand arrows we fired at Kagome. Kagome searched the deepest crevasses in her mind to try to think up a defense. She panicked as she saw the approaching arrows and held her spear up as she opened her mouth to scream, but something else came out.

"CIRCLE SHIELD!" She yelled as she opened her eyes wondering why she said that. Her spear shields became actual metal shields, circling around her and on top of her. There were spaces in between the shields as a couple flew in and almost hit Kagome. She breathed out, and waiting for them to end. As they ended, the shield went back to normal as Kagome floated into the trees to think of an attack pattern.

She circled Kikyo in the trees, looking for an entrance. 'Wow, maybe training DID teach me something.' She thought to herself. On the ground, Inuyasha looked and heard Kagome jump from tree to tree, just like he did, and he was demon. Could this girl POSSIBLY be demon, a little? No, she couldn't be simply because he didn't smell ANYTHING slightly of a demonic scent on her. She was all Miko, all human. But there was no way a human could do that with that much speed and agility. He didn't see her, but hardly heard her as she made her next move.

Up in the air, Kagome found Kikyo's weak spot. Even though the shields of the arrow circled half way around her, there was still the other half open to attack. But of course in order to do this, she would have to make sure Kikyo didn't move so she could hit her back. Of course if it failed, she would be spear-less, and have 1 to none defenses against her sister. Without her 'spirit' her miko powers cancelled out. Well if her mother taught her anything, it would be to take chances. So that's what she would do. She would need a distraction of some kind to get Kikyo's attention, and then she would strike. She stopped in a tree, putting her finger to her chin thinking about it. 'AHA! That's it!' She thought as she pulled out a tiny little ball out of one of her pockets and poked a tiny whole in it as she threw it across the clearing, so when and if Kikyo went to investigate, her back would be facing her. The ball exploded in her light purple and black aura colors and just like she had hoped, Kikyo went to investigate.

"Kagome, Kagome dear, come out come out wherever you are…" Kikyo murmured, floating over to where the aura light came from, "Now Kagome, it isn't safe to give away your position…" Kikyo said, looking through the trees. During this time, Kagome held her spear. "Steel Shot." She whispered as her spear turned into a straight metal line and she threw it. It was almost there and Kagome smiled every inch it moved closer to her back. Unfortunately, Kikyo figured out Kagome wasn't over there and turned around right to have the line get stuck in the shield, then turn back into a spear. Kagome's eyes widened as she just realized her doom. Without her spear, and her spirit, she's a sitting duck. And Kikyo's NEVER been one to hand you your weapon if an attack gone astray. Yea, in a nutshell, Kagome was screwed. Kikyo chuckled darkly has she pulled the spear out and tossed it to the ground. "Oh now, what's this? Kagome's spear…well it seems like she's all out of tricks then?" she said and laughed.

Down below, Sango bubbled with anger. She was not going to sit there and watch her best friend get killed by her sister. She needed to get that spear to Kagome one way or another. Hell, she would get Sesshomaru or Inuyasha to do it, since they're fast, but since that spear is overflowing with spiritual power, they were out. Sango couldn't possibly let Miroku go get it; on account of he's too slow. He's fast just not enough to get the spear, throw it to Kagome then come back. So she would do it. If she could throw her boomerang that quick then a spear should be nothing. "Kagura…you have your fan?" Sango whispered as Kagome came out of hiding and stood on the ground, away from the group exchanging insults with her sister. Kagura nodded. "I need you to back me up. I need to get Kagome's spear back to her. Give Kikyo some kind of distraction so I have time to get it. OK?" Sango asked. Kagura looked a little unsure but nodded.

"First we're going to have to get Kagome back in the trees for I can do my blades. But till then, we can't do anything." She said, getting out her fan. Just then Kikyo shot an arrow at Kagome, it glazing right below the eye and a burn mark being there and a cut, too. She turned her head just in time to avoid the most part. While turning back to her, Kikyo fired another one, this one going in and shooting Kagome in the shoulder, it going straight through. Kagome yelled, as she saw her spear and the energy going down as she grabbed her shoulder. Taking a risk, Kagome ran for her spear, but turned around every once in a while to see what Kikyo did. She did another Rapid arrow attack, and in order to stay alive, she ran the other way and dove behind a tree. Her spear was at least another hundred feet away. There was no way she could get it. "Kagura,do it now!" Sango said as she dashed the couple yards to the spear picking it up. "KAGOME, CATCH!" Sango said and threw it. Lucky for Sango and Kagome, it landed right next to the tree Kagome was\hiding behind as Kagome stuck her hand out and grabbed it.

"YES! THANK YOU SANGO!" Kagome said, jumping out from behind the tree, the shield side of the spear up. Apparently Kikyo didn't enjoy the friendly gesture quite as much and took this opportunity to exterminate Sango. Sango's eyes were turned to Kagome as Kikyo fired an arrow right for Sango's heart. "SANGO WATCH OUT!" Kagome and Kagura cried as Kagura came out and twirling her fan in a circle. "DANCE OF THE DRAGON!" She yelled as the vortex came, engulfing the arrow as they ran for the group again. Kagome breathed out again, happy that Sango and Kagura were safe as she turned to Kikyo again.

"BOOMERANG BASH!" She yelled smiling as she threw it and it whipped around Kikyo, cutting her everywhere, the spirit on her bow going down greatly. The spear came back to Kagome as she caught it gracefully, rising up and attacking Kikyo straight on. All Kikyo could do was block pretty much, the arrows are only good for long distance shots for the most part. Kikyo kept blocking and blocking Kagome's attacks, but had a very suspicious smirk on her face. Kagome backed off a bit, looking at Kikyo funny but shrugged it off, and kept going. Kikyo took an arrow out of her quiver and spun it around.

"Booming arrow." She said, as a pink and blue ball started forming at the end of the arrow and Kikyo shoved it into Kagome's stomach as Kagome screamed, falling back a bit. "What…the…?" Kagome gasped out, holding her bleeding torso. Kikyo laughed. "Since the bow is a defensive weapon, the arrows had to have some sort of power right?" she said as she smirked and Kagome growled. She went back at her, swiping her spear at Kikyo and blocked another arrow. While blocking it, Kagome brought the spear up and pushed up as the shield of it went right into Kikyo neck, forcing her down and creating a crater in the ground. Kagome turned the blade down and dove, aiming the spear at her fallen sister. Kikyo saw it coming and moved a little, so the blade came down and through Kikyo's shoulder. Two screams were heard, one from Kikyo and the other from Kagome. Kikyo had, had another arrow ready so when Kagome came down and stabbed her, the arrow went straight into Kagome's side.

The sisters were there, panting harshly as Kagome's spear was dug into Kikyo's shoulder as Kikyo's arrow embedded in Kagome's side. They both pulled they're weapon out of the other and jumped away from each other, breathing and glaring at each other. Kagome pointed her fingers out to Kikyo so it looked like a gun. And Kikyo held her palm out to Kagome. "Spirit Gun!" one said, "Energy Bomb!" the other shouted. Kagome's hand went to her other wrist as the light purple and black ball formed on her pointer finger and she focused on getting the ball bigger. Kikyo had her hand on her wrist as the pink and light blue ball came to form as they both shot them at the same time. The balls of energy battled of dominance as the sisters remained at they're stances having to close their eyes because of the light. They continued doing this; every time one balled gained dominance one person wavered until their ball gained it. After a while the balls exploded, having little mini balls flying off everywhere. Their eyes widened as the balls came for them, using they're shields to protect them. Kagome turned to her friends seeing a whole wave of mini balls coming toward them. "GUYS, MOVE!" She yelled, running to them with her spear. She skidded to a stop in front of them, holding out the shield side. "SHEILDS!" She yelled as the shields tripled in size and covered them, as Kagome wavered, not ready to get the next wave of them.

From the group, Inuyasha stood up and held her up with his body as Tetsuiga appeared in his hand and transformed. "Kagome put it down." He said confidently. The shields shrunk to their normal sizes as Inuyasha's sword took the blows. "Save your strength, Kagome. Miroku, we need a shield, NOW!" Inuyasha said, a ball escaping and hitting his arm.

"Working on it, Inuyasha, hold on." Miroku said as he jammed his newly appeared staff in the ground, a purple shield appearing around them, Kagome included. She went to a knee, breathing deeply. "How's it going Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"Bad. We're both loosing energy quick and we won't hold on to much longer. Oh god... Where's Souta!" Kagome cried, looking amongst them. She spotted Sango with Souta on her lap. He was breathing, bleeding from his head and burned on his chest. "What the fuck is he still doing here! Get him out of here and to a doctor NOW!" Kagome screamed.

"KAGOME! Calm down. Save your energy for Kikyo." Inuyasha said, sheathing his sword. Sango nodded.

"Kagome. Keep fighting…I won't…leave you. I'm ok." Souta spoke up. Shiroi squeaked and went to him, just finding out he was awake.

"What? They're here!" Kagome asked. "Wow. Everyone's here, huh?" She asked.

"We couldn't leave them there." Inuyasha said. "Energy balls stopped. Be careful." He said as she stood up and walked to Kikyo.

They said nothing but only stood there, staring at each other, staring at each others wounds. They had caused so much damage in so little time. Kagome clenched her fist and looked down.

"Kikyo…"

"Kagome…"

"We don't have to do this. We can walk away right now can't we?" Kikyo asked, her head lowered and fists clenched.

"No. No we can't. Not a chance. You started this and DAMNIT we're going to end it. I know how you work. You say truce with fingers crossed behind your back. As soon as they turn their back you stab them. Not again. We're finishing this now." Kagome said, her teeth clenched and anger bubbling. Kikyo clapped.

"Bravo, Bravo Kagome. Looks like you have gotten stronger and wiser. Let's go." Kikyo said and fired an arrow. Kagome dodged, creating a disc under her feet as she flew toward Kikyo and swung at her but Kikyo dodged that. "Heat slice!" She yelled and swung her bow, creating a pink slice that looked like a half circle razor and sent it toward Kagome. It was pretty long so Kagome easily dodged it, going in for another attack. What she didn't know was that the slice was a heat sensor slice. And since it was aimed for Kagome, it wouldn't stop till it hit. While Kagome was flying toward Kikyo, the razor circled around the back of her and came back, cutting Kagome multiple times in the back then disappeared. Her eyes went wide as she screamed out in pain and reached behind to touch the torn skin. Feeling the blood run down her back and pain she felt, she toppled off the disc and onto the ground, hissing in pain. Kikyo smirked evilly, holding her bow and fired three sacred arrows at her sister. Kagome focused on the arrows, and found her spear, lifting it in front of her and blocking the three arrows. She picked one up and focused on it, looking back to her sister as she painfully formed another disc and held her shield in front of her.

'Come on…do this for me…' She thought as she closed her eyes, "CIRCLE SHIELD!" She yelled as it formed around her and she flew toward Kikyo and now held all three of the arrows in her hand. She stuck one out, and as she circled around Kikyo, the arrow cut her all the way around. Not deep, but deep enough to bleed. She jammed the arrow in her back, and took it out, jamming it in her leg as the circle shield disappeared. She jumped up, as the arrow was engulfed in her energy and she threw it at Kikyo. Kikyo's eyes widened as she saw it, and knew that would be her downfall if it hit. She held out her bow.

"THOUSAND SHEILD: ENERY!" She yelled as the shield unwrapped around her and formed a thick layer of metal shields right in front of her, glowing and practically on fire with her sacred colors. Kagome reached her hands in front of her as her hands glowed and that made the arrow glows more and dove through Kikyo's shields unto the last one. At the last one the arrow became a normal one and went through it, barely cutting Kikyo. Kagome growled at this and brought her foot up, doing a power kick through shields and breaking them landing her kick right in Kikyo's neck as Kikyo gagged and fell back holding her neck. Kagome floated there, until her disc formed under her. Landing on the disc, she went to one knee breathing deeply. Just as she was thinking this fight was finally over, Kikyo stood up shakily, the glow on her bow barely alive.

Cursing, Kagome stood up, putting her spear in front of her. "Rapid Blade Attack!" Kagome yelled, focusing and flying around, have the blades go all around Kikyo as she did a Thousand Shield: metal. Kagome cursed at that but was glad some of them got in. Kikyo got up again, cursing Kagome as she attacked, and Kagome doing the same thing. This attack, block, and attack again pattern went on for what seemed like hours. Seeing them still have enough energy to insult each other was amazing. Nevertheless have the firepower to back it up. In all the years that Miroku and Sango had known Kagome and Kikyo, they never knew that ever had this much power in them. No wonder Kagome talked so much crap. She really could beat up any fool brave enough to challenge her. (A/N: ha, ha. Those last two lines are my favorite!) Maybe except one person. And that person was Kikyo. They were neck and neck seemingly all the time and the chances of them both coming out of this alive was looking slimmer by the minute. Even as much as Inuyasha hated to admit it, he was really starting to think Kagome wouldn't be able to play her guitar again, if she was going to survive.

The battle raged on, the glows on their weapons became smaller and smaller but every now and again someone got a power up, and the glow got bigger. Not for long, but long enough to fit in a strong attack or two. Even in their weakened state, they fought as if they were in top condition. By now the two were on the ground, way to tattered and torn to be in the air. They ran at each other; punching, kicking, biting, scratching, the works. Energy punches, spirit bombs and guns, rapid blade and arrow attacks, spears and arrows flying, followed by an array of sacred colors and even more so of colorful language. Surprisingly, Kagome's spear and Kikyo's bow and endless arrows were still there. Judging by the glow, you would think it would have gone away by now.

000000in the group000000

Sango stood beside Miroku, gripping onto his arm as she watched them. "Miroku…" she whispered, on the verge of tears. Miroku turned to her and noticed her disposition as he got her off his arm and wrapped it around her.

"Yes? What do you need?" he asked, rubbing her shoulder, as she chewed on her bottom lip a bit.

"Miroku…I'm scared." Sango confessed, and got tense as Kagome got blown away, but got up and ran for Kikyo again. "I'm scared for Kagome's life; since she doesn't seem to be. This maybe kind of weird but, I'm scared for Kikyo's life also." Miroku looked at her and brought her to him in a warm hug.

"Sango…everything's going to be ok. I know you're scared and with perfect reason. So am I and so is everyone here. Kagome's going to come out alive and kicking like she always does. If we haven't lost her by now, we're not going to loose her." Miroku said reassuringly as Sango returned the hug. 'Even though…she may not hold out much longer I'm sorry to say. Hold in there Sango, Kagome. Please hold on. Kagome hold on for us and win like we all know you can.' He thought. 'Don't you dare loose on us.' Sango nodded in his chest as if she knew what he was thinking. She was just having flashbacks of all the fights and feuds they've had. She couldn't loose NOW, right?

'Kagome…' Sango thought as she looked at her and saw her punch Kikyo. 'Fight, fight for what you have to and you better be alive after this.' Sango thought.

Inuyasha stood next to Sesshomaru, and he saw Kagome fall, get up and fight, then fall again but kept going after her. He took a deep breath and breathed out. "You're concerned, aren't you little brother?" Sesshomaru asked coldly but with a hint of compassion. Inuyasha looked at him, but said nothing, afraid of giving too much away. "You're not only concerned for Kagome, but for Kikyo too aren't you?" Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha looked at him, suspicious.

"Hell no. I could care less. I only care as long as there's a winner." Inuyasha said and crossed his arms across his chest, looking toward the fight. Sesshomaru looked at him and hit him over the head, leaving a bump. "What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha yelled, grabbing the back of his head.

"That was for lying. You would be DEVASTATED if you lost Kagome. You would be less devastated if Kikyo died, but sad none the less. Even the thought of loosing Kagome chills you to the bone and you know it. So admit it, you're just as scared as those girls over there, those girls that just happen to be her family." Sesshomaru said coolly, looking at the fight, hardly seeming phased.

"I hate it when you get like this… so damn analytical." Inuyasha said, looking at the ground and moving some dirt with his foot. "Sesshomaru, you're scared too, aren't you? At least impressed with them, right? I mean seriously, look at them." Inuyasha said, looking at his brother. Sesshomaru sighed and looked up at the now cloudy skies, blinking once and looking down at Inuyasha.

"Yes, I am rather impressed. Who knew they had it in them? Inuyasha, I'm not sure what's going to happen…" he said, putting a clawed hand on his brother's shoulder and gripped it once, then took his hand off. "Hang in there…for whatever happens." He murmured at the end, and looked up just to see Kikyo get blown into a tree by a blast and Kagome start punching her face in. Inuyasha looked up at him. 'This must be serious….' He thought.

"Damn it that girl." Rin said, glaring at Kagome. Kagura looked at her.

"What?" She asked.

"You heard me! I've stayed quiet too long! I love that girl like a member of my family and then she has to go do some SHIT like this!" Rin said, her fist shaking by her side. "I'm so proud of her for finally settling this but…but I never wanted it to go this far. Look," Rin said pointing as Kagome spear started fading and Kikyo's bow did the same thing, then both reformed. "She's gonna be out of energy any time now and it will be straight hand to hand from there. I don't want anybody getting killed, I don't want Kagome to no longer be able to be in our band anymore…cause it's not just a band…it's a family, you know? And we can't loose one…" Rin said, still angry.

"…I know what you mean. Rin, Kagome's going to be fine. She always has been and always will be. Ok?" Kagura said. Rin looked at her for a moment, and then ran out of the safety of the group as she jumped up on a rock.

"KAGOME!" Rin yelled, trails of tears starting to come down her face. "KAGOME! I SWEAR IF YOU DON"T MAKE IT OUT OF HERE ALIVE I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Rin yelled, tears getting heavier and heavier every word. Kagome looked at Rin, and a faint smile came to her as she nodded.

"Ok Rin. I will." Kagome muttered, dodging Kikyo. Rin walked back to the group and wiped away her tears, trying to think happy thoughts. Shippo walked up behind her and turned her around, giving her a hug.

"Rin…don't cry. She'll be fine. Kagome's a fighter, you know that." Shippo said, rubbing her back as Rin took a deep breath and hugged him back, nodding.

"Yea, she'll be fine." She said, cracking a smile.

Ayame sat down, kind of in the back, having both of her knees up and her arms hanging on them, leaning. Her eyes didn't hold much emotion as they glowed a bit. She stayed silent as Kouga came by and sat down next to her, wondering why she was so silent. She breathed steadily, watching every detail of the fight.

"…Ayame…?" Kouga asked.

"Kouga don't say a word. I'm not up for it right now." She said. Kouga was slightly taken back; her voice was slightly lower than normal and kinda raspy.

"It's the fight, isn't it? It's got everybody on pins and..." he said, and was cut off by Ayame's fist hitting the ground.

"Kouga. It isn't the fight, ok! I said FUCK OFF." She said lifting up her fist and Kouga saw a hole where she hit.

"Ayame. You're not normal and you know it." Kouga answered, slightly glaring at her. Ayame looked at him and opened her mouth to say something, but closed it and huffed, turning to look at the fight. "Are you afraid she isn't going to win?"

"No. I already know the ending of this. Why would I be worried about the ending when I know already? Fuck off Kouga. I don't want to talk to anyone." She said. Kouga looked at her and decided to shut up as he smiled sadly once and sat there next to her, looking at her, then looking back. Ayame breathed out, as a crack of lighting was heard, a hard rain coming down. She looked at him and almost tackled him in a hug. She said nothing but just hugged him. Kouga was slightly surprised but returned the hug, rubbing her back, also saying nothing.

The rain poured and Souta sat, looking at this sisters. Shiori and Kuhaku came up and sat next to him, not saying anything, but just sat there. "Aren't you going to say something?" Souta asked, glaring out into the rain. Shiori shook her head.

"No. I think we can give support without saying anything, don't you Kuhaku?" Shiori said, scooting closer to Souta and wrapping an arm around him.

"Yea, cause that's what best friends do." Kuhaku said, also scooting closer and wrapping an arm around his friend.

"…Thanks guys…" Souta said, barely containing his tears as he let his friends silently comfort him.

000000back to Kagome and Kikyo000000

The sisters no longer had enough energy to maintain powerful attacks and they noticed there weapons fading away little by little with every blow. Now the name of the game was who can get the other's weapon to fade away completely. And they only way to do that, was to make the other bleed. So that's what they did. The once green grass was now stained with puddles of red in some places, blood dripping off of Kikyo and Kagome. Kagome's left arm was limp to her side and her right leg looked like it was starting to drag. Kikyo's right shoulder was bleeding badly causing her pain every time she used it so she kind of left it there. Her legs looked like jelly and she had collapsed several times while blocking Kagome's attacks.

Their movements had slowed down increasingly, so they were no longer shooting balls of light. They didn't even have any sort of glow to them anymore. They're reflexes suffered horribly because of blood loss and vision was off because of maybe a black eye or two. Kagome threw a hard punch, and seemingly, she got dizzy and fell off the other side of the punch. Kikyo received it on the cheek, causing her to fall on the opposite side of Kagome.

Kikyo was there, feeling the sting of her sister's fist on her cheek. As her whole world did loops around her. She looked over, seeing about five Kagome's and realized her dazed expression. It looked like Kagome's world was spinning also. She tried focusing her energy on her wounds, trying to get them to stop hurting so much as she felt the blood gushing. Gripping what's left of her arrow, she shook her head and took a deep breath, sitting up and getting to her feet. This was going to end now.

Kagome lay there, and stared up as she saw her whole world rotate around her. The rain fell harder coming upon her face and removing some blood as she started to feel her eyelids fall. She shook her head furiously and sat up as she breathed, trying to become less dizzy. She looked straight in front of her as she saw a hardly conscious Kikyo. 'Shit…' Kagome thought as Kikyo swiped the arrow across Kagome's cheek, then through her right arm. Kagome roared out in pain as she flung her spear at Kikyo, as it hit right through one of one her legs as Kikyo and Kagome collapsed on their back. The arrow and spear soon disappeared as the two stayed there, seemingly escaping consciousness.

"Is it over?" Sango asked looking out at them.

"No. Not yet." Sesshomaru answered as the two shakily got up, going at each other with bare fists.

"This is barbaric…" Ayame said, wincing at a blow Kikyo threw and Kagome's gut.

"It's what they have to do." Souta said quietly, watching Kagome cough up blood and kick Kikyo in the side, throwing Kikyo to the floor.

Kikyo got up, glaring as she stood black holding out her hand, holding her wrist. "Kagome, its time to end this!" A small pink and blue sphere appeared in the middle of her palm. Kagome stood back, putting her hand out like a gun, holding her wrist.

"For once I actually agree; it's the end Kikyo!" Kagome yelled as a lavender and black ball appeared at the end of her pointer finger.

"It's the end. This fights over." Sango said, on the verge of tears as the balls got bigger. "This is the last of their energy and they're putting everything into this one. The last blow…" Sango said.

They let out a battle cry, releasing them as they flew toward the other. Kagome stood, facing the ball head on as Kikyo did the same. A huge burst of light appeared, almost blinding the group. After the light went away, Kagome and Kikyo still stood there, steam rising from their tattered body's as the wind rattled them. Their once vibrant brown eyes were now dull and lifeless. Kagome stuck out one hand, the hand she did the spirit gun with, and formed it in the shape of a gun again. She breathed in. "Bang." She said smirking as she pulled her forearm back, pretending like she shot a gun. As soon as she said that they both came crashing toward the forest floor.

A sickening silence was there, the smell of blood thick in the air. "KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed and jetted it toward Kagome. Soon after, the group darted after him, leaving Souta sitting there in disbelief.

"It's over…it's really over..." he whispered, " KIKYO! KAGOME!" he yelled as he ran toward his sisters. He pushed through the crowd and looked upon his sisters faces and almost broke out crying. Blood was everywhere, their eyes still open and an empty sensation filling them. "Kagome...Kikyo…" He said, his eyes wide open as streams of tears came down, blending in with the rain. He looked from sister to sister as Inuyasha brought Kikyo beside Kagome and Souta collapsed at their heads. He whipped his head around glaring at all of them. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! SOMEBODY CALL A FUCKING AMBULENCE OR SOMETHING! THEY'RE GONNA DIE!" Souta screamed at them. "HURRY UP!" he screamed again "I love you, don't die on me PLEASE don't die on me!" He whispered hugging their cold faces.

Everyone got out they're phone's dialing quickly for an ambulance. Sango looked at Souta and knelt down next to him, turning him around away from their faces and into her chest as she wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Souta, everything's gonna be ok, ok? Remember that. Help will be here, and Kagome and Kikyo are going to alright…don't cry…" Sango whispered out, tears making they're way down her face as she shielded her eyes from the site and gripped Souta tighter. Souta didn't respond for a moment, and then let everything go as he screamed out, gripping Sango's shirt tightly, crying.

Inuyasha looked at the ground as he put his hand down and closed Kikyo and Kagome's eyes. "Don't you dare leave us…" he mumbled as he turned away, a lump getting caught in his throat and a few rare tears came down. His bangs covered his face as more came down, as he heard his friends on the phone with the hospital.

'Don't die…' was the wish that was offered to that full moon.

000000end chapter000000

Ah man! That was sad. Tear jerker right there, if not tears almost. It was quite sad. Maybe it's just me. So tell me what you think. Sorry it took so long again, the next chapter WILL be up soon, because I have macho plans for this story! Please tell me if this was sad, or an 'I balled like a baby' sad, or a just overly cheesy 'you suck at this drama thing'. You're input would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I think this was a DAMN good chapter, I feel quite accomplished because of it. It may not have been the best chapter but defiantly the most heart wrenching one I think. Tell me if you at least felt something. If you didn't, I totally failed… and I don't like to fail. Anyway, thanks so much for reading and DO NOT forget to press that button for review. Wonderful! TTFN: ta, ta for now!

As always, we have review replies! For those who reviewed anyway.

Punk Miko2: Well now you see what happened. I'm not sure I want to kill Kikyo off just yet. She is the antagonist. I might kill her off once I bring Narku back in. Tell me what you think. I think direction with the villains is needed. Thanks!

Pleasure-Scene-With-Inuyasha: Well she didn't exactly win, and she didn't exactly loose. I kind of did let both sides of it swing. I was actually seriously thinking about letting Kikyo win then pass out. But now I think I might loose reviews if I do that… ; Overall it was a draw. And I seriously doubt anyone's gonna die in the next chapter. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't read. Thank you for reviewing!

­­I am no one and I stand alone: Hello! You and I almost have the same name! anyway, thank you for the comment and sorry I took so long. I hope you read this one and give me a little bit more to chew on for the next comment. T.T lol. Thank you!

Cat: Hi cat! Thanks for the review! Like I said before, I'm not sure I want to kill Kikyo off…not yet anyway. Tell me what you think and please review again, well if you check up on this anyway. See ya!

sigh ok, I got 4 reviews. The four I got were awesome but…I need more! Yes, ok, so

I update slowly. I'm riding 3 stories here and geometry! GIVE ME A BREAK! So I'm hoping to get at least 4 this time. Maybe more if I'm lucky. So review please, hope you enjoyed.

Next chapter: 'Don't die is My Only Wish': Rehabilitation in the Making.

Do I smell a song in the next chapter?
