The darkness had threatened him. He couldn't lie to himself. That last blow Naraku had landed had hurt. Blood was running freely from his chest and he had lost most of his sight to swelling in his right eye. Despite having Tetsusaiga with him, his youki had soared to unprecedented heights. This fight would be the last and it seemed even his inner youkai refused to lose. Naraku would fall.
Kagome had taken a direct blow from one of the bastard's tentacles and had been tossed like a rag doll across the bloodied battlefield. Tetsusaiga had pulsed in rage, echoing the bristling howl ripped from deep within his chest. His eyes had flashed red and the youki rushed to the surface. He could have lost it all in that moment. Slaughtered Naraku perhaps. More likely though the tainted jewel would have overwhelmed his senses and Kagome would have felt the wrath of his razor claws.
Sanity was restored by one reverberating call from his brother's Tenseiga. Sesshoumaru's pristine figure had materialized through the thick fog. A symbolic light in his darkness. The balance he needed. Where his brother had just come from he hadn't the slightest idea but the relief he had felt when the two fangs pulsed in harmony was immense. Together the swords had sealed his inner beast and revived his will to fight.
United finally they would finish this. Naraku was no match for both the Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga. Using his own fang he pulled himself upright once again and waited for the taiyoukai to reach his side. Their father's determination reflected in one another's eyes when they locked sight before taking up their battle stance. This is what he had been preparing them for. The reason behind his assigning of the fangs. Sesshoumaru had learned the importance of life and the meaning of love. Inuyasha had been educated on trust and protection. Together they had learned acceptance.
Following his brother's lead, Inuyasha raised his sword high above his head. Time seemingly stopped as they unleashed the most powerful of their attacks. The wall of destruction connected with their nemesis sending him to the hell he had crawled out of. It was over. All over. The fight over the jewel, the fight to survive and the fight to find peace.
Lifting his injured miko in his arms Inuyasha took once last look at his new ally. He nodded in respect to the one he now proudly called brother. Sesshoumaru's ward had found him in the fog and waved happily at him and Kagome. The taiyoukai raised a hand to him as well before disappearing again into the vast expanse around them.
A figure above smiled down at his protege. At long last two had finally become one. Brothers in every sense. Family. He could rest knowing that fate had finally come to pass.
