Everyone turned and looked. Kagome smiled at her friend, Kouga was torn between amusement and joy, and Inuyasha just stared, confused.

"Ayame!" Kouga cried almost bubbly. "But…but why?"

"Wolf youkai bonds are forever. I sensed you were in need of help," she said calmly, a small fanged smile gracing her face. Her eyes casually swept across Naraku and his men, green eyes alight with obvious mischief.

"So this is what you're having trouble with?" she asked, hiding a small snicker. Her gleaming white armor glittered magnificently in the light that spilled from the sky. Ayame's wolves growled from behind her as Naraku's body trembled with rage.

"You think mere trash can defeat me, then think again," he spat, his cold, dead eyes hardening. He raised a skilled arm, and with a strangled shout, the men leapt from their positions, and ran towards the wolves. Let's just say chaos ensued.

***

Miroku

About ten goons came rushing towards him.

"Looks like it's time for Kazaana," he muttered, under his breath, as he quickly unwrapped the prayer beads that bound his clothed wrist. The men stopped pursing him to laugh at him. "SHUT UP! KAZAANA!" The suction from his terrible black hole erupted, making the men get torn from the ground, and sucked up into his right hand(is that correct?) He closed it, shaking his head.

"MIROKU!" came Sango's voice. He turned to see someone rushing towards him, gun poised. Miroku charged, raising his staff, knocking the weapon out of his hand, then giving him a few good whacks(proven and tested on InuyashaJ ), rendering him unconscious. He rubbed his hands together.

"Done."

***

Sango

She was aboard Kirara; the fire neko was racing forward the bad guys.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango screeched, hurling her bone boomerang. There was a horrible slicing sound as it went through the men's bodies. They fell into separate, bloody pieces at her feet. She grimaced as Hiraikotsu returned obediently towards her. Sango wiped away some sweat that was inching down her face, and rubbed it on the thighs of black outfit tipped off with pink armor. She looked off into the distance and winced. Things were going well, but it was damn bloody. "Of course I'm used to it, but…"

***

Kouga

He and his remaining comrades were making good progress. They were way too fast for weak, puny humans. Kouga grabbed one by the head, kicking his weapon from reach, and carelessly crushed his skull with his iron grip, tossing the bloody body to the ground. BAM! He felt something cold burn his skin. Kouga winced, running his claws over his wound, growling as blood stained them. Kouga turned to see Naraku jeering him, a large gun pointed at his heart. He pulled back the trigger, giving a steely laugh, but before he could release it, it was shot from his hand.

"What the…" Naraku turned towards the source to see Kagome glaring at him angrily. "You…How…" She just smirked, twirling the gun with skilled fingers.

"You alright Kouga?" Inuyasha grinned. Kagome wasn't a timid babe. Kagome wasn't a heartless bitch. She was this cool new girl who kicked ass and he liked it…a lot. The wolf youkai nodded, bewildered.

"You…how did…" Naraku blubbered. Kagome shrugged.

"I was taught by the best. Live with it."

***

Ayame

She kicked one in the stomach, sending him to slam into a thick tree. He groaned in pain, as a fresh spurt of blood gushed from his mouth. The demoness shook her head, tucking a loose strand of her vivid, flyaway red hair behind her ear, then brushed off her furry skirts. A wolf came to spit out a man's arm at her feet. It rolled uselessly on the ground. Ayame smiled, rubbing its head.

"Good job Eiko. I think we finished them all off, ne?" She turned her head. Dead bodies were everywhere. The dirt was coated with black blood. Weapons were strewn across the ground. The wolf growled in appreciation. They had lost only a few in combat. They were doing good. "I want to go see Kouga to-" BAM! Fresh pain shot up her arm and she gasped out in pain. A few drops of her blood splattered the tan dirt. Ayame clutched her wound, craning her neck to glare at the perpetrator.

It was one of the last of Naraku's men, he had many scratches on his body, he was limp and weak, barely able to hold the gun with his trembling, cracked fingers.

"Got ya, bi-bi-bit-" He couldn't even spit out a curse before he collapsed in a puddle of his own blood.

"Serves the little devil right. Dammit, this crap hurts." Ayame looked down at her wounded arm, feeling a fresh wave of pain run up it. She screeched in agony. Eiko whimpered, nudging her alpha with a cold, wet nose. "Please get Kouga…" She leaned up against a tree for support, and gritted her teeth with determination, as the pure white wolf galloped off in purse of the male alpha of the Brown Wolves.

Everyone Else

Naraku growled at his daughter.

"You betrayed me," he muttered in a dark, low tone. Kagome glared at him.

"You're a monster."

"You wanted to kill. You lived to kill. You used to be a true assassin," Naraku said. He bent down slowly to retrieve the gun, when Kagome shot another bullet, missing his hand by a fraction of an inch.

"Don't play with me," she growled, raising the gun so it was pointed at his head. "Or you won't live to see another day." He got up, brushing off his suit, plastering on a smile.

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome," he began in an almost fatherly tone. "You dare chose your friends over your people? You killed innocent comrades!" Naraku gestured around them, making a quick note of the number of dead bodies. Kagome's eyes hardened.

"Innocent? Shut the hell up. Anyone who gets into this business is far from innocent," she cursed softly, pulling back the trigger for a new round. "I was born into it. I despise you all." BAM! She shot another bullet, driving it past Naraku's sinewy pale skin in her anger. Inuyasha's ears flattened against his skull.

"You…" He brushed his hand over the cut, staring in amazement at the blood that wet long, pallid fingers. "No one has dared injure Naraku. Ever."

"Well then make me the first," Kagome said, smirking. "Don't underestimate me. I was taught martial arts, archery, how to make and set off bombs, how to carry a gun, and how to throw knifes." She ran a hand over her black backpack, that no doubt held more weapons. "I know how to fight."

"You wouldn't dare…" For once he was at a loss for words. His mouth opened and closed soundlessly after his tongue darted out to moisten pale, crackled lips.

"Try me."

"Oh we'll see about that." His hand dove into his pocket to pull out a miniature gun, about the size of Kagome's. BAM! She dodged the bullet coming towards her, but it still cut her soft cheek. Her hand shot up to the source of pain.

"You…" Inuyasha growled at Naraku. How dare he hurt my Kagome! He just smirked at them, setting off another five bullets, only missing her by a few inches, still nicking her soft baby skin in the process. Kagome gasped.

"Father…" she mumbled glaring at him. "This is war." He just grinned, lips curling back to reveal jagged, yellow teeth.

"Only on one condition." She rose an eyebrow.

"Like what?"

"Those little friends of yours - especially the hanyou - back away before they have another hole to breathe out of," he said lethally, pulling back the trigger to prove his point. "And you drop your weapon."

"NEVER!" Naraku shrugged.

"To bad," he murmured. "I just kill your little fox friend." And he released the trigger. There was the sound of echoing thunder.

Another cliffie! I noticed that not a lot of people are reading this story, except for one or two people and my baby sister, Jayda J So, I will be ending it shortly, for its lack of reviews(how do I know I'm wasting my time writing if no one is reading??) and I will finish my two other fics soon. Aloha.
