"Pah. Your attacks are as infantile as ever." (Sesshomaru does not even appear to be bothering to attack - nor does his dodging seem to take much of his attention.)

"Master Inuyasha, you cannot fight unarmed!"

"SHUT UP!"

...wow, he's really just going to fight a much stronger, faster, more experienced opponent, while quite possibly blind in one eye, while ignoring any tools around that might possibly turn the tables. It'll go on like this until Sesshomaru gets bored, and then - well, she saw the strength of the attack the Un-Mother blocked. Brother or not, she doesn't think Sesshomaru has any particular plans to be merciful, once he gets fed up enough to make any attempt to swat him again.

It's painful to watch. She feels bad for him, even more than she feels scared. She's terrified, of course, but there's nothing she can do with more fear, so for now her brain has shelved it. She's never learned how to shelve embarrassment, though. She feels embarrassed for him.

Maybe they really will die, this time. But he deserves better than to die like this, made to look like crap someone stepped in.

"Hey! Do you want to win, or not?"

"I'm GOING to win!"

Sesshomaru rolls his eyes (while dodging.)

"Sesshomaru came all this way for that sword, and it didn't want him! Do what he couldn't, and pick it up!"

... Yeah, Inuyasha will pause at that. 

"Couldn't do it, huh?"

"As if you could."

"You know, brother," says Inuyasha, dropping back to the pedestal, "I think I want this sword."

"No spell that stopped Lord Sesshomaru would let his mangy brother through!"

And Inuyasha puts his hand on the hilt, and with a great roar of strength, attempts to draw it forth!

... His hand is less on fire than his brother's was? The sword sure isn't moving.

He will pick up Myoga and hold him at eye level. "So, Myoga... you were saying..." 

"Well.... ah...."

"Thank you for that amusing interlude."

And he will practically teleport next to Inuyasha, rushing him backwards. "No half-demon will ever possess Tetsusaiga. Understand?"

" - Nkh -"

"Let's finish this."

And he slams Inuyasha into a gigantic rib, then his hand - trailing some kind of horrible acidic poison something - comes straight for him -

And Inuyasha will barely dodge!

The poison's melting the bone, though, and anything vaguely near the bone.

If the sword won't work, she can't think of anything else that might help. He's clearly, unambiguously outmatched. He can't even touch Sesshomaru; it's only a matter of time before Sesshomaru delivers a killing blow that he can't dodge.

She wishes she had her bow. It would be utterly useless, at these speeds, but she feels awful not even being able to try to help him. Even her advice is worthless. All she can do is watch.

"Heh-heh-heh..." Jaken readies his human-headed staff, aiming it at where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are fighting - "We'll see if this cur can burn..." 

- well that's not fair.

There are a bunch of tactical reasons why she still shouldn't get involved. It's dangerous. Like, really dangerous. And even if Jaken is removed from the equation, Inuyasha was pretty doomed before that, and she really shouldn't want to be on the same level as Sesshomaru once there's nothing to distract him.

Kagome isn't listening to any of them. Kagome is jumping off this ledge to crush Jaken beneath her.

WHUMP. Turns out goblins make pretty great cushions.

This time he's not letting go of the staff, though!

"You little witch!"

"He can fight his own battles, if he's so great!"

Kagome's going to grab the staff and not let go EITHER. She has not seen ANY evidence that Jaken is actually stronger than she is, and it seems totally plausible that she can pry it out of his hands if she believes hard enough that she can.
