Summary Inuyasha is tricked into fighting Sesshoumaru
Inuyasha thought that the fight was perfect place to win Kagome’s heart She was such a sucker for wounded guys that all he had to do was take a beating from Sesshoumaru and she would rush to his side and nurse him back to health.
He had no other reason for fighting Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was the champ while he was a journeyman who had as many losses as win. He had been surprised when Sesshoumaru had come with him the offer.
He could not turn it down. All he had to do was survive three rounds to receive the biggest payday of his career. When he asked Sesshoumaru’s manager why he was offered the fight he received vague statements about another fighter pulling out.
He had the two greatest motivations for fighting any man could have: love and money. No matter that this was a nontitle fight. What chance a tomato can like himself have of beating the champ.
The fight itself was a revelation Sesshoumaru made no attempt to guard himself against Inuyasha’s punches. Soon each eyes were swollen shut. Only bells saved the him from losing.
When the fight was over, Kagome rushed to Sesshoumaru’s side to heal the weapons of the fallen champion. Inuyasha stared in disbelief as Kagome healed his wounds.
When she saw he looking her way, she shook her fist at him to punish him for what he had done to Sesshouumaru. When Sesshoumaru’s eyes were cut open, Inuyasha could clearly see the smirk on his face.
The purpose of fight had been to steal Kagome’s heart and make her angry at Inuyasha for what he had done to Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha realized who had won this day and who had lost Whatever money he had received from Sesshoumaru. The price had been too high.
