Chapter 32

 

Jade awoke as morning approached and watched as her mate started to stir as well. She looked at the clear sky that did not ease her mind of the upcoming battle.

 

Sesshomaru watched as his mate sat deep in thought and gently touched her shoulder to offer her comfort. “All will be well mate. The half breed no longer has the shikon jewel so he has no power.”

 

She had a look of concern that he did not understand. “He still bares traces of the jewel's power because he held it longer than most, although I doubt he even realizes it or has the ability to access it.”

 

“So what worries you?” He was stunned as her eyes turned cold and harder than he'd ever seen.

 

“Kikyo has sided with him and can assist him in tapping into what little power remains. Even though he no longer holds the jewel that does not mean he is not a threat.”

 

“Then we will have to finish this quickly so that he doesn't have time to use it.”

 

Jade looked at the sky once more before looking towards the west. “We must gather the others. He's coming.” They both walked calmly into the clearing where everyone was anxiously waiting.

 

Kagome looked up when she felt her sister's presence and saw the hard look in her eyes. `It's time,' she thought and came to her sister's side looking at her friends that were watching them. “Do not forget what we said and stay behind us at all costs. If you do not then you may be purified,” her voice left no room for argument and held an undeniable authority. Everyone cleared camp and began to head west. An hour later they stopped at a very large clearing.

 

Jade and Kagome took in the site. “This will do and we'll let him come to us.”

 

“We might as well get ready,” said Kagome. Jade nodded her head in agreement as both women walked away from the others. Everyone watched as the women started to glow. Their hair blew gently in a breeze that could not be felt, but was increasing, as was their power. Kagome's hair flew wildly as her hair faded to have reveal streaks of lavender and silver. Her clothes changed to tight silver top that showed all of her curves and crossed in the back leaving room for her wings that also grew larger. Her pants were midnight blue with slits that ran down the outer thigh with silver silk showing through. Her black knee high boots remained as chest armor appeared as well as her twin swords at her side. Everyone was astonished at the power that was rolling off of her and looked to see Jade's armor as well. She now wore a light green sleeveless shirt that crossed in the back like Kagome's with black trim. Her pants were black with a green dragon that wrapped around her leg and ended with its head resting lightly on her right hip. Her arms were bare except for a jade spiral that went from her upper right arm to her elbow and a pair of fingerless black gloves that tightened at her wrists. She wore no armor and her twin katanas were at her side. If you looked closely you could see daggers in the side of her boots and two at the small of her back.

 

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked at their mates and could barely contain their growls at the scent of Koga and Miroku's arousal. Their clothing showed their curves to perfection as both women suddenly turned to the west drawing their weapons.

 

Jade looked at their friends that she now considered family. “Don't forget to stay behind us. We don't want to purify you by mistake.” They watched as Naraku and Kikyo came to the top of the hill and watched them before attacking.

 

Naraku felt the power of the woman he lusted for and took in her form. His arousal was apparent as his eyes roamed her body and looked into her eyes seeing the anger present. A slow malicious grin became apparent on his face as his hand rose and sent the signal to attack. The demons all came at them at once and by the hundreds.

 

Jade and Kagome took to the air as Sango released her hiarakotsu. Their chanting could be heard as both women suddenly opened their eyes for everyone to see only the pure white of their power. “Waves of Purity,” was heard, as everyone made sure they were out of harms way. They watched as over a hundred demons were purified instantly, but hundreds more were still coming. The guardians let out several more powerful attacks purifying the majority of demons.

 

Kikyo and Naraku watched as the demons were purified and knew they needed to act while they were busy. Kikyo made for the tree line to come behind the group and took aim at Kagome. She let the arrow fly, but Inuyasha stopped it at the last second.

 

Inuyasha had just killed the demon he was fighting when he caught the sound of an arrow being fired. He turned to see it headed straight for his mate and quickly intercepted. There behind them was the dead miko already stringing another arrow in her bow. The sight made his blood boil with fury that she would attack from behind like a coward. “Kikyo,” he growled and ran to confront her. “Are you that much of a coward, Kikyo. To attack when your target's back is turned?”

 

Kikyo looked at him with hatred evident in her eyes. “You promised to protect me and to return to hell with me. Instead you betray me once again and mate with that bitch. I will kill her and then take you to hell with me.”

 

“I will never go with you and I won't allow you to kill my mate. It's time you returned what you stole from her.”

 

“Stole from her. She took you from me and has MY soul.”

 

“It is not your soul. Kagome is not your reincarnation, but Midoriko's.”

 

Kikyo's aura flared in her anger. “You belong to ME.”

 

“I belong to Kagome.”

 

She became enraged and started to quickly fire arrows one after another. Inuyasha managed to dodge until she hit him in the leg. She watched as he pulled out the arrow and had a malicious gleam in her eyes. `It won't be long now and he'll be dead.'

 

Inuyasha noticed the change in her stance and knew something was wrong. He could feel the healing powers acquired from mating Kagome flow through his body instead of just to his wound. `It must have been poisoned.' Once more he stood to face her and quickly attacked. His claws shattered her bow as she tried to put a barrier around herself. “It is time for you to return to the grave Kikyo.”

 

She gave him a cold look and dodged his attack. Her hand caught his sleeve and she poured her purification powers into it making him scream in pain. Kagome heard her mate's pain and turned to see him in battle with Kikyo. She nearly lost control when she saw the dead miko trying to purify her mate, but knew that it was impossible with her blood flowing through is veins. Even though she could not purify him it didn't mean it still would not cause pain. He was after all a demon. Inuyasha felt like his insides were on fire as he was being purified slowly. He could feel Kagome's rage and tried to push the pain away as he focused on his attacker.

 

`Soon you'll be dead Inuyasha, but I will make you suffer first,' she thought. She didn't notice how he had stopped screaming and was struggling to stand until she suddenly felt weak. She looked down to see him withdraw his arm from her body and the souls she had stolen leave. Her eyes caught his and noticed the sympathy there.

 

“I'm sorry Kikyo. I did care for you, but we were not meant to be.” He had finally made his peace with her and watched as her body turned back into dust and bones. He turned to see Kagome, Jade and Sesshomaru fighting Naraku while the others fought the remaining demons and ran to help them.

 

Jade was fighting her way through the tentacles to get close to his body. She jumped high using her wings to keep herself out of his reach as they tried once more to grab her. She charged her swords with her holy powers and cut through only to have them form once again. She frowned at this realizing he had indeed tapped into small amount of power left by the shikon. `Damn, I knew that corpse would tell him.' The scene below her showed the brutality of battle as she watched demons being ripped apart by Koga and Kagura while the humans were taking out as many as possible. She and Kagome had intentionally left some demons alive so that they would not feel cheated out of their revenge. `It wouldn't do for us to have all of the fun,' she thought as she heard Inuyasha yell and saw his wind scar make its way to Naraku.

Naraku heard Inuyasha and looked up to see the wind scar coming at him. He barely managed to dodge the attack and sent his tentacles at Sesshomaru and Kagome trying to put some distance between them. He looked around quickly to see Jade hovering above trying to work her way to him and smirked. `When this is over you'll be mine,' he thought as he blocked an attack by Sesshomaru's sword. He could see his death in the taiyoukai's eyes. The evil hanyou smirked as he pushed on his own sword gaining distance and releasing a cloud of miasma. While everyone tried to gain their bearings he quickly shot out tentacles to pierce both of the youkai's chests while trying to grab Kagome, but the attacks were quickly diverted. Inuyasha, seeing Naraku trying to grab Kagome, became infuriated as he once more used his wind scar shredding a large portion of his body. Naraku grinned as the body parts started to surround them attempting to absorb them into his body. Jade saw what was happening and quickly landed in front of the others purifying everything in her path to protect her loved ones. Her blood was boiling in anger as she calmly walked towards him. Each part of his vile body that tried to touch her was purified as Kagome joined her and side-by-side they approached his body purifying him as they went. Naraku screamed his rage at not being able to touch the women and he sought to find every trace of power that was given to him by the shikon and realized there was nothing left.

 

Jade and Kagome had placed a barrier around themselves and Naraku to protect the others as they sent him to hell. “Your done Naraku. It is time for your judgment. The crimes you have committed against demon and mankind are unforgivable and thus you have been sentenced to the lowest pit of hell with no chance of returning. I personally will make sure you stay there,” said Jade.

 

“No matter what you do I'll find a way back.”

 

The eyes of both guardians narrowed. “No, you won't,” they said. Kagome formed a bow and arrow using her energy and took aim while Jade's eyes turned white and her aura turned a deadly red.

 

`You will not defeat me that easily,' he thought as he dodged the arrow aimed at his heart once more. He released another miasma cloud trying to get behind them, but when he reached where they should have been they were gone. Now he was pissed not only was the miasma not affecting them, but also they were able to fend off all of his attacks. His anger was increasing and he let his tentacles explode from his body as he took his true form. His torso still had its human appearance, but the rest of his body was that of a large spider.

 

“I absolutely hate spiders,” whispered Kagome.

 

“I'd have to agree with you on that one,” agreed Jade. They both knew that their mates were trying to break through the barrier to get to them, but knew it was time to finish this once and for all.

 

The miasma was clearing and Naraku found his targets as his tentacles came straight for them. “Now you mine.” Before he could reach them though they disappeared. He once more looked for his prey and then felt excruciating pain. They had raced under his body without his noticing and had plunged their swords into his body and started racing towards the back purifying him as they went. Jade and Kagome took to the air and hovered just out of reach with their hands outstretched and chanted. Suddenly from their palms shards of light attacked Naraku purifying every place they touched. Everyone watched as the guardians slowly killed the evil hanyou and was shocked at their power and the skill they portrayed while fighting in perfect harmony. Once more Jade was chanting and was surrounded by a blood red aura while Kagome encased Naraku's body in purification. Both ignored his screams of pain and as the purification ended nothing was left, but the disfigured form of Onigumo.

 

“You may send me to hell, but I will find away to return and take my revenge,” said Naraku.

 

Jade approached him as her body and aura glowed with power. “Never again will you harm innocents.” Her aura flared to new heights as a portal formed to the side of his body and the blackened hands of the damned reached out grabbing onto him to slowly drag him into hell.

 

“No, let go of me,” he screamed as a hand covered his mouth to stop his cries. Everyone watched as the bandit was pulled into the portal with hands silencing his cries for release sending a shiver down their spines. The portal closed when he was through and finally Jade and Kagome let the barrier down. Both looked to everyone smiling before staggering a little and falling into unconsciousness.
