I don't see why Akane and Kagome would fight each other ^^ They're both just humans...lol

Right... both humans! ^__^ Both of them have their weak and strong points... ^^;;

Yeh, so it's sorta hard imagining the two girls fight ^^;; I mean, Kagome's not gonna kill Akane even if they did fight.. cause she uses an arrow, if Akane did get hit with it, she'd be stabbed

*still haven't voted* but seriously, u can't really compare these two in a fight. Akane knows some martial arts and Kagome doesn't since she uses magic(?) or weapon. Sorta like comparing Goku from DragonBall and Sailormoon xD

Aw cmon man Goku could beat anyone or anything for any fictional sceneario. I have yet to see anything match the ridcious level of power depicted in DBZ the dood can blow up planets with STRAY engery shots. I'm pretty sure sailmoon would be pasted in the blink of an eye. But I digress.

Akane and Kagome's a pretty intereting match up, it's also as 'fair' as I can imagine on to be. Of course there are many factors involved primary thing being range as fore mentioned.
But lets give them so called 'even' odds. Ie, relatively level ground with resonable firing distance. Oviously Kagome's gonna win if she's perched on a mountain top with unlimited arrows and Akane will blatantly win if she starts within pummeling range.

So lets give them a distance of 100metres between them with no cover and flat ground. And lets assume for whatever wild reason they are in fact fighting to the death as I would argue Akane would win rather easily in a 'KO' fight since without the inclination to deal fatal damage Kagome likely wouldn't have the will cause a grevious injury stands a very high chance of getting knocked out.

Now given these pretenses, it would likely take between 17-21 seconds for Akane to dash a straight line within melee range of Kagome. Olympic class sprinters can dash 100m in around that time for women and she would probably be around that range seeing as most of the other characters have super human standards of speed and strength and while she rarely seems to beat them she can at least hold her own.
However if she charges right at Kagome she's too easy a target to hit, so lets add another 10 seconds for dodging time giving a window of 27-30 seconds for Kagome to hit her. I discluded the last few seconds as unlike a gun a bow is near impossible to aim with at near point blank ranges. Given that with drawing aiming and firing the arrow I'd say Kagome generally takes between 5-6 seconds per shot, lets discount those arrows that take 20 minutes to aim since the badguy can't die yet of the episode will end. Giving her roughly 5 shots to take down Akane.

People have said Kagome is a dead aim, I would disagree as most of her 'bullseye' shots were at either large targets or "guided" like her first shot which tracked the Shikon no Tama with a smaller shard of it attached to the arrow. And her multi-kill shots against the swarms of Youma hardly count either as she could just fire anywhere in the sky and still kill a large chunk of baddies. However to her credit she's far for being a bad shot either being able to pick out singluar targets at a fair distance of a few occasions. (I can't remeber specifics but I'm sure it happened more than once.) Now if she were to aim for a fatal shot, ie head or heart kill against a fast moving human sized target I would say her chances are pretty low around 10-15% and given the time it takes to place a well aimed shot she would likely fail in the space alotted to her.
However if she went for rough location shots I'd say her chances shoot up signifigantly to about 40-50% against the same target.

So given all that said and true (feel free to argue the abilities of either character I haven't seen the shows in years) and lucky instant kills aside 2-3 arrows will hit Akane before she gets within range.

Then it all comes down to damage. Both are fairly normal humans by anime standards and in comparison to thier superhuman krews respectively. But given this most would agree Akane is a notch above Kagome when it comes to taking damage being a trained martial artist. (Once again plot convience aside since we all know both are immortal to any fatal damage during the shows being main characters) So depending where the arrows hit Akane could likely take the pain before slowing down too much. Where as Kagome would likely go down to a single blow to the head or even the stomach.

In terms of damage output Akane would clearly win again, she can break bricks and other solid ojects barehanded so she'd be well equiped of breaking bones and other stuff you need to live, where as without her purity arrows Kagome's bow is really rather weak. It very short and the string would have pretty low tention for an ordinary girl like her to draw it back with ease. So any arrows would pierce flesh but not bone.

Anyway the point of all this crap is I'd give Akane a 60% chance over Kagome to win.

Edit: Hey I just realised the current voting is about 6:4 ratio to Akane's way. MY THESIS HOLDS TRUE. Maybe...

OMG blox...u surprise me everytime XD LOL...................

A very detailed analysis Blox Let's say, they are fighting to be the voice/acter for Kagome
If Kagome can fight with a bow then it would only be fair for Akane to also have a weapon eg. a shield. Then she can charge towards Kagome until within range and Kagome wouldn't stand a chance.
I don't think Kagome is the kind of person to take on someone else head on. Normally it's her aiding Inuyasha from afar? The tension of Akane charging towards her would probably spook her out. As a martial artist Akane should be able to dodge arrows as long as they aren't homing.

I think Akane would win (can you imagine Akane kicking Kagome in the air and Kagome with that 'flying in the air' pose?)
