Chapter 34 - The End

 

 

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING KAGOME!” Sango screamed as she dodged Kagomes lunge, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“I already told you didn't I?” She asked as she came at her again, “I am sick of everything... but most of all I'm sick of HIM!” She spat out the word like it would melt her tongue, and everyone inwardly flinched at the hostility in her voice.

“That doesn't mean that you have to go to NARAKU of all people Kagome!” Sango yelled back as she dodged another attack.

“Do you really think I'm that weak that you can't fight back?” Kagome hissed with narrowed eyes, “ FIGHT ME!”

“KAGOME NO!” Sango pleaded, “I do not want to fight my best friend!” she begged.

“If you don't fight you'll die,” Kagome replied, then a smirk slowly wormed it's way across her face, “If you don't, I'll go after Mikoru instead.” Kagome watched in silence and prayed to every deity there was that she was going to take the bait, her plan wouldn't work if she didn't.

Silence, complete and utter silence came from Sango as she stared at her once bet friend in pure hatred; her hand slowly reached up behind her to grasp her Hirakoitsu as she glared at Kagome, “you will not TOUCH HIM!” she yelled as she launched her weapon at Kagome.

 

Naraku chuckled from the side lines, this was going better than he expected; not only were they fighting their friend, but once this was all said and done he would have the shikon jewel and Kagome as his permanently. Hearing a sudden growl from below him he looked down to see Sesshomaru glaring up at him, his eyes slowly bleeding red.

“Oh look, the dog seems mad that I've taken his bone, “ he chuckled darkly as he watched the tai-youkai twitch in anger; only to have to jump down to the ground a split second later as the branch he had been perched on was now no more than splinters.

“You will pay for all you have done you filthy half breed,” Sesshomaru growled as he lunged at him once more.

“Well I've never been one for a fair fight, so i think it's time i tipped the scale in my favor ne?” Naraku stated as he expanded his aura to call for his minions. Suddenly hundreds of demons came rushing towards the group, in the front ran a few they knew. As they reached the small group the leaders of the large group of demons split off to attack different members of the small party of friends.

 

“FUJIN NO MAI!” came the shout from behind Maoru as he dodged just in time as the ground where he was previously standing was made into a small crater.

“So you wanna play do you?” he asked looking up at the wind witch and she glared down at him with her ruby eyes.

“I don't play fool.” she hissed at him as she sent another blast towards him, which yet again he easily dodged.

“You really don't want me to get serious little lady,” he stated as his face became a blank slate, “you really don't...” he whispered as he disappeared into the shadows.

“Wha... Where did he go?” Kagura shouted as she frantically looked around for her missing opponent, “No matter, I'll just clear the entire forest to find him.” she stated with an evil grin.

“RYUUJA NO..” she began, “KUSARI NO KOOTTA!” and her attack stopped dead. She looked down at herself and let out a startled gasp, because as she looked down at herself she saw chains of ice worming their was around her body.

“I told you you didn't want me serious little lady didn't i?” Maoru stated as he appeared behind her on her feather.

“You think I'm going to be held by something like this?” Kagura asked with a slight chuckle as she tried to break the chains, only to be unsuccessful,” WHAT?! What have you done to me?!” she screeched at him.

“I'm the only one who can take those chains off you, now if you want your heart back be a good little girl and pretend to be captured.” Maoru whispered in her ear.

 

“MIZU NO SHI!” Maoru's eyes widened in recognition, “shit!” he cussed as he jumped from the feather not having time to take Kagura with him and watched as the giant sphere of water that now surrounded her feather crashed in on the terrified water witch.

“Tsk... useless bitch,” came a voice from behind Maoru as he watched her fall lifeless to the ground, “She already got caught, that old hag deserved to die.” Mauro spun around to face the wind witches killer only to come face to face with Toshiro.

“She was your sister... how could you kill her so easily!” Maoru yelled at him.

“Easy,” Toshiro replied with a smirk, “I have my own plans, and they don't include her or that piece of crap called my 'father',” he spat the last word as if it were venom.

“You bastard,” Maoru yelled as he ran at him and drew his swords, “DIE!”

“TSUME NO KOOTTA” Toshiro yelled as his claws began to glow a bright blue as he blocked the sword with his right hand the sword froze and shattered, as he sliced down Maoru's right arm making him yelp and jump back in pain.

“What the hell did you do?” Maoru asked looking down at his nice frozen and useless appendage.

“That was my frozen claws, you like them?” Toshiro chuckled as he licked the blood from his claws, “But it's not over yet, you're still alive... But not for long,” he grinned.

“ARASHI NO KOORI!” he yelled as a blast of frost and ice rushed towards Maoru.

“KABE NO KOORI!” Maoru yelled thrusting his hand to the ground as a giant wall of ice became a barrier against the onslaught.

 

 

On the other side of the battle ground Koga, Sayori, Miroku, and even Jaken were trying to hold off the hordes of demons that threatened to overwhelm them. Koga and Saoyri were using brute strength to fight the demons hand to hand combat as they took down demon after demon. Miroku was growing weak and tired because he had been overusing his Kazaana, beads of perspiration trickled slowly down his forehead showing his strain. Even Jaken was doing his part, taking care of all of the little demons with the staff of two heads; burning every single one that got past the others. Ah-un had been instructed to fly the children to safety as soon as the danger had been spotted.

 

In the center of the battlefield however the two brothers were fighting a seemingly losing battle against the vile hell spawn himself.

“Kukuku... you really think you can defeat me?” Naraku chuckled, “You can't even lay a single claw on me.”

“Shut the hell up!” Inuyasha yelled as he swung at Naraku again, trying to break his barrier.

“You think you can defeat me like...” His sentence was cut short as he felt a small pang of pain and he looked over in time to see Kagura killed by his latest creation. He moved his eyes to Toshiro and glared at him in fury, how DARE he!? As he silently thought about how this would effect the battles outcome he decided it would not differ much if two if his minions were dead, and so he thrust a tentacle up from the ground and killed that which had betrayed him.

Maoru sat behind his shield when suddenly the assault stopped and he looked around his barrier to see Toshiro staring down at his chest in shock; sticking through his chest was one of Naraku's black tentacles that was just as suddenly as it was thrust in, was yanked out letting Toshiro fall to the ground, dead.

 

Sango screamed as she attacked her beloved sister, how did it all come to this; everything was going wrong, they shouldn't be fighting each other. Kagome dodged her attack and lunged forward with her sai leaving a rather nasty gash along Sango's side.

“FOCUS SANGO!” Kagome yelled, “FIGHT ME SERIOUSLY!” she lunged for her again.

“STOP THIS PLEASE!” Sango cried out as she dodged another attack; while slicing into Kagomes stomach, “THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!”

“AHHHHHHH!” a scream came from the group fighting off the demons and Sango's eyes widened as she recognized the voice.

“MIROKU!” Sango shouted as she turned to see a sword thrust through Miroku's chest, “NO!!!!!!!!!!!!” she screamed as she tried to run for him only to stop short and look down in shock, firmly planted in her gut was Kagome's sai.

“Please listen to me Sango,” Kagome whispered, “stay down, please for the love of god stay down; everything is going to be ok, i have a plan but i need you to do this for me.” Kagome begged as she looked at her sister; at the slight nod she pulled her sai out and watched as her sister fell to the ground, and stayed down.

 

“Dokuasou” Sesshomaru said as his claws began to glow a poisonous green as he lashed at the barrier.

“That's not going to work asshole! We have to find something different to get past that barrier!” Inuyasha barked as he dodged a tentacle only to be knocked into a tree by another.

“Do you think i do not know that!” Sesshomaru hissed as he sliced through several tentacles headed his way.

“Please let this work” Kagome whispered to herself as she ran towards the trio fighting.

“You will die you foul beast!” Sesshomaru hissed as he prepared to strike once again only to have his attacked stopped by Kagome's sai.

“I don't think so,” Kagome said glaring for all she was worth at the demon lord, causing him to step back and flinch.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA” Naraku laughed, “YOU SEE! YOU CAN NOT HURT ME AS LONG AS I HAVE HER!” he yelled in euphoric glee.

“As long as you have me huh?” Kagome let out a humorous laugh as her shoulder started to burn, “Well then how about we just take you out of the picture then,” She stated as her sai began to glow a vibrant pink as she thrust it into Naraku's barrier shattering it completely.

“You bitch!” Naraku hissed as he knocked her into a tree, “You tricked me!”

“KAGOME!” Inuyasha and Sesshomaru yelled.

“She will die,” Naraku hissed, “As soon as I'm done with you!” he said as he turned to the brothers.

“You no longer have your protection Naraku,” Sesshomaru stated, “Your end is here!” he lunged for the demon once more and slashed into his left arm. Naraku yelled out in pain and knocked Sesshomaru away, grabbing his brother in a tentacle and began to squeeze.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled as she began to run towards the trapped Hanyou, be as she got about half way there she saw a tentacle slowly making it's way out of the ground to strike Sesshomaru from behind.

“NO!” she yelled as she grabbed hold of the startled youkai lord and with all her might turned him away from what would have been his death.

Sesshomaru looked down in shock at the little onna that had grabbed him so roughly and jerked back in surprise as blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. He looked down and his blood ran cold, his mind went blank and his heart stopped beating; staring at it as if it was a foreign object he looked at the almost innocently seeming black tentacle that was surrounded by a sea of crimson.

A cough brought his attention back to her face as she smiled up at him and a shaky hand reached up and cupped his cheek, “I.. I'm sorry Sesshomau, I should have,” she paused as she drew in a painful breath,” should have believed you, I know it wasn't you that i saw now and i never should have doubted you.” Painful coughing wracked at body as she spat up blood.

All he could do was look at her helplessly, vaguely aware that his brother was screaming her name in the background, “Kagome....” he tried to speak, but his voice came out in a crackly whisper, his throat constricting as his heart did.

“It's ok, this was meant to happen; don't blame yourself but there is something i want to tell you.” she began as she pulled his head closer, “I love you Sesshomaru” she whispered as a tear slid down her cheek and her hand fell limply from his face; Kagome was dead.

He was in a state of shock, not believing that the only woman he had ever loved was dead in his arms. However, realization hit him like a ton of bricks as the tentacle was roughly pulled from her body and her blood was sprayed over him, he slowly brought his hand to his face and wiped off the warm substance from his cheek to see what it was. His eyes widened as he realized it was blood, his eyes immediately went to the limp body in his arms and reality struck him harder than before; Kagome was dead.

 

His body shook as his head reared back and he let out a howl of pain so heart wrenching that the battlefield stood still. He softly lay Kagome on the ground and kissed her eyes affectionately, kissing her now cold lips made his eyes burn with an unknown feeling. As he stood a growl started to emanate from him, slowly growing in volume until it was an almost deafening rawr as he glared at the now slightly afraid hanyou known as Naraku.

“YOU... WILL.... DIE...”” Sesshomaru growled, an almost feral sound as he lunged at the hanyou.

“Seshsomaru! Calm down! You need a clear head for this!” Inuyasha yelled trying to get through to his brother.

Sesshomaru jumped to the other side of Naraku, trying to control his inner beast; knowing that for once, his brother was right. He closed his eyes and willed himself to calm, when he opened his eyes he looked past Naraku to his brother and nodded, drawing out his sword hoping that his brother would understand what he meant. He slightly smirked when he saw understanding light in his brothers eyes and his brother drew his sword again.

Naraku looked from one brother to the other, his eyes widened in understanding; however it was to late.

“KAZE NO KIZU!””Souryuuha!” the light was almost blinding, everyone looking at the shield their eyes from the massive blasts as they raced towards Naraku. Attacked from both sides by massive blasts Naraku had nowhere to run to and let out a blood curdling scream as his flesh was torn apart and dissolved into nothing. Staring in awe as the jewel of four souls in it's almost completed form dropped innocently to the ground, the surrounding demons seemed to turn to dust falling into piles on the ground.

 

“Is it finally over” Inuyasha asked his brother, who nodded in response.

“KAGOME!” Sayori's anguished cry filled the area and all eyes turned to the body laying less that forty feet away.

 

Sesshomaru walked towards Kagome slowly, feeling as if he wasn't really there; Sayori who had been previously strewn over Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru and moved away. Standing in front of Kagome he looked down half expecting her to open her eyes and should 'surprise!', he waited; and waited, after about fifteen minutes he finally realized she wasn't going to jump up and tell him it was a joke. His legs became weak and he fell to his knees beside Kagome, reaching a hand out to stroke down her face; feeling the cold skin he knew without a doubt she was dead. He drew her close to his chest staring at her face wishing to every god above that he could look at her blue eyes once more. Moving hair from her face he spotted water falling onto her face and looked at the sky only to find that the sky was clear.

Confused he looked at his brother for an explanation, only to find him looking at him strangely; wide eyes stared back at him as his brother whispered almost to softly to hear “you're crying....”

 

“What?” Sesshomaru asked confused even more as he raised his hand to his face to find that yes indeed he was crying; never in his hundreds of years had he cried. Not at his mothers death, not at his fathers; he felt as if he was being ripped apart as his shoulders began to shake, he had never cried before but now that he had he could not stop. His head fell back and again he screamed to the heavens of his anguish, tears streaming down his face as he cradled the small body to him as if letting her go would kill him too.

“Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha walked up to his brother trying to convince him into looking at him, as Sesshomaru looked at his brother; Inuyasha felt his heart break, never realizing just how much his brother had come to love his Kagome.... no... not his Kagome.... not anymore.

“You can bring her back you know,” He whispered holding out Tenseiga.

“I can not, I've already revived her once, i can not do so again.” Sesshomaru stated holding her closer than before.

 

“You don't know if you don't try, the gods might be lenient today.” Inuyasha tried to comfort his brother as he handed him the sword, “Just try” he asked.

Sesshomaru nodded once as he placed her on the ground, standing and drawing the sword from it's sheath and waited. Sesshomaru felt his heart skip a beat when he could still see the pallbearers swarming over her body and quickly cut through them and prayed to every god he knew to let it work. Waiting on baited breath they sat, hoping that it worked; but as time ticked by their hope dimmed, and just as it was almost gone Kagome took in a large gulp of breath as her chest heaved up in the effort to get her lungs working once again. Cries of joy could be heard from all those still able as she sat up and held her head.

“Well at least that wasn't as painful as i thought it would be,” she whispered to herself, however two particular people heard her.

“What?....” Inuyasha growled out at her, “You mean you KNEW that was going to happen?”

Kagome let out a nervous laugh, “Well... maybe?” she questioned with a slightly squeaky voice.

“Kagome... did you seriously know previously what was going to happen to you in that battle?” Sesshomaru asked looking at her in disbelief.

“Trust me, I'll explain everything when the time comes ok?” Kagome tried to placate him.

“You WILL explain when the time comes..” Sesshomaru warned her.

“Ok i get it, now can i get up?” She asked, her face bright red as she looked down at the arms firmly around her waist.

“As you wish.” Sesshomaru sighed as he let go and she got up and walked over to the jewel on the ground and picked it up. Looking up into the sky Kagome let out a sharp whistle and watched as a green spot got closer and closer to the group.

As Ah-un landed in the clearing Kagome walked up and smiled at Shippo, “Can i please have what i left with you sweetie?” Kagome asked as she stretched out her hand.

“Sure think mama,” Smiled the Kitsune as he reached into the folds of his clothes and pulled out the last shard and handed it to Kagome.

 

Kagome smiled as she placed the last sliver of shard back in place and there was a bright flash of light and time stopped for all bar Kagome.

“Where am i?” Kagome asked as she opened her eyes to see nothing but white; as she looked around her eyes fell upon a female smiling at her with bright laughing eyes.

“And who are you?” Kagome asked confused as to what was going on.

The stranger laughed, “You already know who i am.” they stated.

“You're.... You're Midoriko...” She whispered in awe as she stared at the legendary miko's smile widen at her knowledge.

“Yes i am, and i know why you have come.” She stated warmly, “ Come child.” she beckoned. As she and Kagome walked Midoriko told her of her tale and that the legend of the jewel was finally at it's end.

“It is now time to make your wish child,” Midoriko stated.

“But what will happen to me after i make the wish? Do i have to go home?” Kagome asked, frightful of the answer.

“Yes child you have to go home,” Midoriko stated and she saw Kagome's face fall, “However, home is where the heart is isn't it?” she mischievously stated and Kagome's eyes widened.

“So i don't have to go back to my time?!” she asked excitedly.

“Not if you do not wish it,” Midoriko laughed.

“Ok, it's time,” Kagome said and with a nod from Midoriko she made her wish.

“I wish that all those effected by naraku's evil since my journey here have that which was taken given back.” Kagome whispered and began to glow.

“It is done,” Midoriko whispered, “Goodbye my child.” she said as she kissed Kagome on the forehead and sent her back to her world.

 

Kagome opened her eyes to stare down at the now harmless pink jewel in her hands and smiled; it was over, it was finally over.

“MIROKU!” Came a shout and Kagome looked over at the happy couple embracing for all they were worth and she smiled.

“Sister?” came an unsure voice from the bushes, and a young boy emerged from the and looked towards the embracing couple.

Sango looked over and her eyes widened, “Kohaku....” she whispered, “Is that really you?” she couldn't believe it, her brother was back; as her tears flowed freely down her face she ran and hugged her brother as if her life depended on it.

A pain filled groan from behind claimed the attention of the group and they turned and was surprised to see Kagura sitting up and placing an hand over her chest.

Her eyes shot up to meet Kagomes, “My heart.... i can feel my heart beating.” she whispered in awe.

“I didn't forget you Kagura,” she said and she walked over and knelt in front of the demoness, “Thank you for helping me escape, this is my thanks for that.” she smiled kindly to Kagura as she stood and turned to face the group.

“It's over, it's finally over.... we won.” she said happily as she looked at all of the people who had helped her over the years of her journey, and as her eyes landed on the person that she knew her journey continued with a smile graced her features and she knew everything was going to be alright.
