Chapter 26

Kameko's pulse quickened as he launched his attack towards her. I need him to send me a stronger demonic aura, Kameko thought. So she only deflected the attack. Once again their swords clashed. Why is that sword so powerful?

"That idiot of Nura was right. I wasn't born a demon nor with the strength of the gods (Kameko: 'no shit') and I really didn't care about spiritual powers. But the only way I figured was to put power into an object. So, I made a promise on my Banryu: that I'll cut the head of a thousand warlords and of a thousand demons. This demon sword that has absorbed the wrath of 2000 lives… you wield a demon sword too, but can it beat my Banryu?"

Shit! He's right… no! I trust that Tetsusaiga and I will beat him. He thinks Rikuo is dead, she thought. She invoked her 'Kaze no Kizu' only to be deflected by a much stronger Banryu.

"Damn!" that swords just keep getting stronger and stronger… I need to stop it before it kills us all…

"Crap! This doesn't look good," said Ryuuji as they all watched, bewildered. Yura secretly prayed her friend would come out alive.

"That sword you have, better get rid of it Bankotsu, for you own good," said Kameko.

A very raged Bankotsu charged against her and said, "Shut up, you filthy half breed," as both swords clashed, Kameko felt a power like never before; it was way much stronger than the other attacks. It seems as if his anger escalates the wrath of the Banryu, she thought as he continued attacking.

"A demon can never understand my desires or maybe you think you do because you're a halfie, is that it?!" Bankotsu yelled as both swords clashed, dispersing demonic aura waves, making the walls of the barrier waver.

"You can't understands a man's world, where strength is the only way to survival," he launched another wave of red aura towards Kameko. She shielded herself with the Tetsusaiga. She smirked, continue…

"It's over," Bankotsu said, rather calmly.

He lifted his halberd once again, making it spin in his hand. A huge ball of demonic aura, very much alike from the thunder ball, formed on top of the spinning Banryu.

"With this power, I will lose to no one!" he yelled as he launched the attack.

Sorry Rikuo, I know you do not partake of killing humans, but it's the only way to save us all, Kameko mentally whispered to her unconscious boyfriend.

She sighed, this will end now…

The ball of demonic aura was flying towards her. She closed her eyes and the ground shook as a visible twister formed under Kameko and then made its way to the Tetsusaiga. Once the ball was close, her eyes shone a brighter red and she yelled,

"Get ready to meet your maker, Bankotsu… Bakuryuuhaaaaa!"

Bankotsu's eyes widened in surprise at the attack. He placed his sword in front of him, in order to shield himself. The effort was futile, as the twister, embedded with Banryu's own demonic aura, chattered the sword, leaving him open.

A great explosion hit the soccer field as its shock wave sent everybody observing the battle, flying off the air. After the dust cleared up, one Keikain Yura squinted her eyes to see a figure standing there, panting…

"It's… it's Kameko!" she jumped in excitement, so much she stepped on Ryuuji. The brother glowered at her in pain. She just smiled and yelled, "You did it Kameko! You did it!" she ran towards her tired friend.

Everyone around smiled in contentment: Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Inuyasha laughed with joy for seeing his daughter all grown up. Sesshomaru just nodded and turned around, with Rin at his heels. The Nurarihyon, the First and the Second had their trademark smirk plastered on their faces.

There's no way, with that direct attack, that the human would be alive, thought Sesshomaru.

Kameko just stared at the nothingness and the quietness of the field. She just fell on her knees and hunched over. I can't feel his demonic presence anymore, she sighed.

She then heard a rustle beside her and saw that Rikuo had come to himself.

"You killed him?" she nodded. "Well, it couldn't be helped," he sighed putting a hand over her shoulder and caressing her cheek with the other.

"I love you, Kameko-chan." He said as he leaned down and kissed her.

"AHHHHH!" Kameko screamed in pain as her mother Kagome, was putting some medicine on her cuts.

"You have a nasty gash in your arm that needs to heal correctly, girl," said Kagome as she applied some gross looking green paste on her daughter's wound.

"Ouch! Mom that stings!" wined Kameko. She felt like her wound was throbbing even more now with that paste on it. "I can heal myself, you know…" as she swayed away her arm from her mother's grasp.

"You're just like you father!" Kagome said throwing her hands up in desperation.

"I keep hearing that all the time…" spat Kameko.

"That's because you are, young lady. Now don't go all getting smart on me," she said as she was closing the wound with some bandages. The girl winced in pain once again.

"Mom, I'll be fine... don't worry about me," she said as she looked down, thinking about Bankotsu. The handle of his halberd and some bones was the only thing left of him; it made her feel awful.

I did not want to kill him, she thought as she drew circles on the floor with her mind. I stalled as much as I could, trying not to use the Bakuryuuha… I wish there would've being another way…

"I know what you are thinking, Kameko," said the former priestess as she sat beside her daughter. Kameko hadn't realized her mother was done. "Sometimes, sacrifices are made for the greater good; this time you needed to save not only yourself but the people of this school… how knows what would have happened if you wouldn't have being able to stop that attack…" said Kagome, locking stares with her daughter.

"Probably uncle Sesshomaru would've done something…" said Kameko now staring at the wall.

"He could've but the end result would've being catastrophic. Your father would've gone nuts if you where hurt… heck, I would do whatever to have his head on a platter if something ever happened to you," Kagome said as she placed a hand on her daughter's knee.

"Thanks ma," said Kameko. She's always being a daddy's girl but her mother always knew to say the right thing at the right time.

"So, tell me all about this Rikuo boy!" her mother chirped. Kameko sweatdropped at her sudden excitement; she turned towards her and told her 'almost' everything about Rikuo, obviously except the part were he 'visits' her every night. Some things are better left unsaid.

After Kagome cleaned up her daughter's wounds, both mikos walked downstairs to the waiting hall at the girl's dorm, where the Inu-gang and the Nura Gumi sat waiting. Rikuo was also there, all covered in bandages. He raised his head as he felt his girlfriend's presence. She ran towards him and he took her hand and kissed it. Kameko blushed like a tomato. Both the Sodaicho and the Nandaime drew their signature smirk. Rin and Yamabuki sighed in contentment and Inuyasha huffed.

Later that night, when the parents and family members where gone, Rikuo and I sat at my window seat staring at the moon. No words needed to be said; we both where enjoying each other's company.

Rikuo cleared his throat breaking the silence. "What are you thinking?"

I turned my eyes to look at him, and then turned back to the window. He patted my knee and said; "Don't blame yourself for killing him."

A tear I didn't know was there, escaped. I killed somebody… doesn't matter if he was good or bad… I killed somebody…

I felt Rikou's touch as he wiped my cheeks dry. I couldn't help myself; more tears came running down a stream. He just held me there and shushed. I have no idea how long was this crying spell but at some point it was over. I don't like to cry; it shows weakness. Yet, I couldn't help it.

"I understand how you feel." Rikuo continued. "When I first killed a demon I was not aware of my ayakashi blood, but I did it to protect those I cared about…"

"So… you're saying that its ok to kill as long as you protect the people you love?" I said with a hint of sarcasm.

He smirked, "That's not the point I'm trying to make, Kameko-chan."

I sighed, "I know, Rikuo. But… but he was human… I killed another human being…"

"I know that what you're going thru is hard but you will be ok. There's a reason that, even though human beings are mean creatures, we have also the need to protect them of what they don't know. We both have light of both worlds: light and darkness… we have to protect the innocent."

"I know that… but he threatened to kill us… my family… yours… I couldn't let him, I couldn't." I said with a 'no' motion of the head.

"Nobody is condoning you for what happened… heck, we even thank you," he said with a real smile.

"He beat me pretty bad though… he was even harder than my uncle Sesshomaru…"

"Well, then… welcome to the Big Leagues…" he said laughing. "However, I do have to agree with Bankotsu, they have taken you very lightly… you've got an amazing power that can only be exercised with actual combat… I learned that the hard way, just like you," he said turning his red orbs towards me. I wanted to melt in them.

We continued staring at each other for a moment, when I heard a vibrating sound.

"Ugh! I forgot to turn off my phone…" I said as I stepped off the window seat and reach for my cellphone. I read it and closed it back.

"Anything important?" Rikuo asked. I walked back to the window seat and sat once again beside him. He grabbed my hand and our fingers intertwined. I could feel the heat rising in my face.

"My parents… they just arrived safely back."

"Glad to hear that," he said.

I leaned my head and placed it on his shoulder. He leaned over too and kissed the top of my head. I smiled.

"I love you, Nura Rikuo…"

AHHHHHHH this is soo cute! Kameko finally said she loved Rikuo! O well, hope you'd enjoyed this chapter...
