"Because they're starting to fight each other!"
Raising her voice in exasperation to the sky, Kagome points to where Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru and Asahiko are fighting in an all against all with no truce. The fighting arena if we can call it that was horrible, sword slashes reaching 10 meters long, orange flames that seem to never extinguish, clouds of poison drifting and all this destruction slowly spreading outwards, forcing Inuyasha's group to move further and further away if they didn't want to be affected.
"It's not as bad as it seems at first glance Kagome. Much of the blows exchanged between Inuyasha and Asahiko are the ones redirected by Sesshōmaru to damage each other. While Asahiko's direct blows towards Inuyasha are solely made of fire, something Inuyasha is totally resistant to thanks to his clothes."
"Sango is right, even if it looks like everything is out of control and those three are going for each other's throats. They don't seem to have forgotten that Sesshōmaru is the enemy."
With Sango's explanation sounding like it came from a combat pro and Miroku's subsequent confirmation, Kagome let out a sigh, before holding Shippo against her chest, then turning her full attention back to the battle.
Christopher/Asahiko pov.
*Booooom*
One moment he was punching Sesshōmaru and in another moment, a huge mass of dust covered both him and me, leaving us slightly surprised. But that doesn't stop me from thinking fast, increasing the force in the collision with Sesshōmaru which he does as well, thus managing to propel us backwards with the force of each other's attack, thus easily avoiding Inuyasha's slash that creates a huge crack in the ground.
Landing easily at a safe distance, but still being surrounded by the dust clearly raised by Inuyasha, I spun on my axis thus creating a tornado of orange flames that protected me from any surprise attack. Then I separate a small amount of the power that the tornado has and created about 100 spheres of fire that I make rain all over the battlefield without any distinction, but it didn't end there, as I brandish my sword created from highly compressed flames, launching two half moons towards where I feel movement, you know a soft attack and a hard one.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*.
"Oh come on, are you serious?"
Jumping to the side and ignoring the flames of my tornado, since they clearly won't hurt me, I narrowly dodge my former tail that Sesshōmaru just threw at me from the top of my tornado, although this one was thrown with so much power that its shockwave momentarily destabilized me and taking advantage of this Sesshōmaru slams his feet into the tail stuck in the ground, thus gaining momentum.
Not knowing what the hell just happened and being inwardly shaken by the shockwave, I notice Sesshōmaru shoot out towards me at an incredible speed, to then give me a full blow with his dragon arm, strong enough to send me flying off into the distance.
"Don't forget that I'm here too!"
"Hahaha, I thought you were a blade of grass since you're always flying through the air!"
Mocking Inuyasha even though I'm in a rather precarious situation, I turn my body that's flying through the air to the right and grab Cloudy Fang. After that, I quickly created a sphere of compressed flames in front of my sword, then when Inuyasha's sword and mine collided, the sphere exploded, pushing us sideways by its shockwave.
*¡Boooooom!
After all these blows, cuts and explosions, the surrounding dust finally clears, letting the whole mess into my eyes. But the most surprising thing without a doubt is Sesshōmaru, who suddenly appears charging in my direction using my tail as if it were a jousting spear, although in practice he wields it as if it were a rapier, delivering quick blows towards vital points.
"Can you stop using my tail as if it were a weapon?"
"It seems to me that it won't be able to be."
Dodging his blows that seem to be faster and more accurate the longer Sesshōmaru stays on the attack, I take a step with more force than necessary and leave some flames that explode with delayed effect, shattering the combo of blows launched by Sesshōmaru. It was my moment, I mean it was time for the counterattack or that must have happened, otherwise I would have felt the danger from my back. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, my ears perked up like those of a dog on alert, sweat covered the palms of my hands and without hesitation I stabbed Clouded Fang into the ground, before melting all the earth to then launch myself like a mole.
*¡¡¡¡Boooooooooooooooom!!!!*
The newly created hole was easily 40 meters deep, but still the vibrations created by that attack could be felt from down here, making it clear that it had incredible power. Waiting a few seconds for everything to calm down, I took a light leap upwards, to get out of the hole and what I saw certainly surprised me.
"Phew~ did you do this?"
"Ha, ha,ha,ha. You want too?"
"Wow, wow, put that down what now looks dangerous."
Putting away my sword and raising my hands in the air as a sign of surrender, he observed Inuyasha who is clearly on his last strength, before looking behind me. It was wow, no seriously wow... Behind me there are about three cuts that easily reach about 100 meters long and about 10 meters wide, in the cracks created by the cuts there is a beastly amount of residual energy that make my strikes with Cloudy Fang look like child's play.
"Heh... I thought you and Sesshōmaru were underestimating me."
"Hahaha, come on don't be spiteful... Oh, of course you have some obsession issues."
Making the illusion that is talking to Inuyasha laugh out loud and enjoying his angry face when his sword easily pierces through my illusion. I leaned against a tree in the vicinity of the group, before closing my eyes to rest for a few seconds.
