Fireworks were sounding in Kagome's ear's as she sent yet another burst of energy hurtling towards Kikyou and Nuraku, `Come on, Break!' she urged silently on her bolt towards the ball of energy that enclosed the two `Break!' The ball remained intact and Kikyou barely batted an eye.

`How was I'm supposed to break the damn thing if my powers just match Kikyou's!,' she thought franticly, `Were gonna have to find a different way in!'

She looked around desperately for anything she could use against Nuraku, she had long since used up her arrows and InuYasha and the others were busy fighting the waves of demons Nuraku was throwing at them. Even Sesshomaru, supreme ruler of the western lands, was kept at bay while trying to protect Rin from the poisonous miasma that covered every demon that threw themselves at him. InuYasha was desperately trying to break free and use his red colored Tessaiga, but every time he broke away hundreds more demons would literally throw themselves at him.

Kagome felt a dizzying pain as Kikyou once again stole her energy and added it to her own while drawing miasma from Nuraku. Forming it into a ball of black power she released towards where InuYasha and Sesshomaru were fighting. “INUYASHA!” Kagome screamed trying to put a barrier around him and the girl Sesshomaru was protecting, “Behind YOU!”

InuYasha and his half-brother spun to see the black ball of miasma hurtling towards them. Sesshomaru bared his fangs and met the ball straight on blocking its path with Tenseiga and his body. Blue sparks cascaded from Tenseiga's blade as Kikyou's energy struggled to get by but the mighty fang held and Sesshomaru was able to push it a little distance from Rin and InuYasha.

“InuYasha,” He said, quite calmly though the powerful blast from Kikyou threatened to push by, “Move Rin to another place so I can release your Miko's energy.” InuYasha glared angrily but picked the small girl up from her perch and lept intoo the air…

Straight into another blast of energy from Kikyou. Clinging to his back Rin was not hurt but InuYasha was thrown down against the ground from the force of the blast.

Kagome looked on in horror as InuYasha hit the ground with blood leaking from his fire rat robe. As he slowly rose she felt more energy drained out of her as Kikyou launched another ball of power at InuYasha and Rin.

As the power came hurtling towards them, InuYasha pushed himself up and stood braced in front of Rin as she cowered behind him. The blast that hit him was much more powerful then the one Sesshomaru blocked. He fell to his knee's as more blood came gushing out his robe and spilled onto the ground. His eye's glazed as he stared at the women he once loved then turned to the one he loved now…and more. As the battle raged on around them InuYasha eyes conveyed a message to Kagome, and only Kagome `I love you,' his eyes said, `Only you, not the Kikyou inside your soul, but the Kagome in your heart.

“NOOOOO!” Kagome screamed as he pitched forward and lay still, “It wasn't supposed to happen like this! InuYasha! INUYASHA!” She ran over to his side and picked up his bloodstained head. “No, NO! This can't happen NOT LIKE THIS!” She sobbed openly stroking his lifeless head, “I love you. InuYasha… I love you and I know you loved me but you cant leave me, not like this.”

Kikyou laughed loudly, not a happy laugh but a scornful mocking laugh, “As if he could ever love you ! All that worthless mongrel saw in you was me nothing more, it was me he wanted, never you.”

Kagome was queit while Kikyou mocked her and then slowly stood up, when she rose her eyes were as ice blue as the sky on a frost bitten morning. “This is your fault,” she said icily and all the demons froze unable to move as she advanced towards the dead priestess, “You betrayed him, you took everything I had ever loved away.”

Kagome put a hand out and Kikyou and Nuraku's barrier parted to let her in. “You never loved him,you just wanted to drag him to hell,” Kagome's hands grabbed Kikyou's shoulders, “Well go back to hell Kikyou,GO BACK!” Around her Kagome's power had formed tendrils that grabbed Kikyou and Nuraku in a death hug of power. Kikyou's flesh sizzled and Nuraku burned to death on impact as Kagome's power detonated like a bomb healing anything around her down to bruised grass.

Nuraku and Kikyou were gone burned out corpse's on the ground as Sango and Miroku looked around in wonder as the meadow was freeded of the smallest bit of evil. The ground was cleared of battle scarred earth and the dead demons that belonged to Nuraku bodies were gone, not even their bones were left.

“Inu..Yasha” Kagome said as she fell into a faint, “Inu..Yahsa.”

“Damn you Kagome, wake up!” A voice sounded above Kagome's head as she slowly came to, “ I knowyour not dead so just wake the hell up!”

“InuYasha?,” Kagome said turning onto her stmach to look up at the glaring hanyou, “Oh InuYasha your alive,!” She lept up from the ground and threw her arms around him.

InuYasha hugged her gently back, `Now that Kikyou is gone Kagome and I can be together,' he thought while pressing his face into her hair. `I can be wth her and she can be with me, I'm finally free to love….'
