InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hanyou & Miko: The Way It Should Be ❯ Hanyou & Miko: The End ( Chapter 7 )

Kagome quickly climbed out of the well and was shocked at the sight that greeted her eyes. The beautiful field was now covered in blood and corpses. There were thousands of dead demons on the ground and in the middle of it all stood Inuyasha. “Inuyasha!” Kagome called running to him. He hurled around, stopping her dead in her tracks, as their eyes met. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she looked into his blood shot eyes. ‘I’m to late.‘ She thought throwing a hand up to her mouth. He growled viciously and lunged at her. “INUYASHA!” She screamed as his body weighed down on her. She threw up her hands trying to defend herself but it was no use, he was to strong. His sharp talons sliced her dress to pieces and started on her delicate skin immediately drawing blood.

“Inuyasha!” A deep booming voice called out. Inuyasha stop his attack on Kagome and turned his attention to where the voice had come from. A man about 6 foot stood across on the other side of the field. His long silver-ish white hair blew in the wind. Hanging on his left side were his two swords, Tokijin and Tenseiga. “Why don’t you pick on some one your own size.” The voice called. Inuyasha looked inquisitively at the man who had now got his full attention giving Kagome a chance to run.

“My Lord Sesshomaru it seems to me that he has forgotten everything he once knew.” A squeaky annoying voice said to the tall man.

“I‘ve been waiting for this day a long time.” Sesshomaru replied. A deep growl arose from Inuyasha throat as he tightened his fist. They stared deeply into each others eyes for a long while or so it seemed.

Inuyasha was the first to attack using his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer, but Sesshomaru side stepped with ease, a pleasant smirk on his face a he drew Tokijin. He attacked Inuyasha slicing him across the back, getting a cry of pain out of him, then to add to the pain he used his poison claws and slashed his chest, his smirk grew into a fanged smile. “I knew this would be easy but I never imagined it be this easy.” He said hitting him across the chest with his energy whip, which threw Inuyasha clear across the field. “Come on little brother…fight me.” Sesshomaru said giving an evil laugh as he walked towards where Inuyasha had landed. He stopped as Inuyasha stood up. A split second later Sesshomaru got his wish, Inuyasha attacked, him using his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer. Sesshomaru backed up dodging the attack. Inuyasha quickly switched and used blades of blood catching Sesshomaru off guard, hitting him several times in the chest. Sesshomaru quickly recovered and used his poison whip cutting Inuyasha across the chest and the back causing extreme pain. “What’s wrong little brother?” He asked with a fanged smirk. “Not as strong as you though you were?” “Where’s Tetsusaiga?” He asked looking at the empty sheath at Inuyasha side.

A loud viscous growl escaped Inuyasha as he stood up. “I don’t need it to beat you.” Inuyasha said in a deep evil voice. “Iron Reaver Soul Stealer” He called out slicing Sesshomaru several times across the chest and once across the cheek. Sesshomaru stumbled back touching his cheek with a growl, when he looked back up, his jaw met Inuyasha fist, and his chin met and upper cut sending him into the air a few feet. When he was close enough Inuyasha spun around and gave him around house kick to the back, which sent him flying dead into the god tree knocking him out. “Blades of Blood” Inuyasha yelled. The attack hit Sesshomaru dead on, Inuyasha did this three more times then fell to his knee and slowly began healing himself.

‘Where’s Kagome?’ Inuyasha asked.

‘She’s alive.’ His demon side replied.

‘You said you wouldn’t hurt her.’

‘No I said I wouldn’t kill her.’

‘You touch her again and I‘ll…’

‘And you’ll what?’

Inuyasha was silent, he couldn’t do a thing, he let his demon side take over and now he was completely powerless.

“Inuyasha.” Kagome called standing in front of him.

“What?”

“Not you…Inuyasha.” She said raising her voice as silent tears rolled down her cheeks as he stood

“Sorry but he’s not available…why don’t you tell me what you want and I’ll relay the message.”

“I want to speak with Inuyasha.” She yelled staring into his blood red eyes.

‘Kagome…’

‘Your little ningen is getting on my last nerve.’

“Just…” He began but stopped and sniffed the air. “Naraku…”

“I see you‘re full demon.” Naraku’s voice boomed through the trees. “But you still won’t defeat me.” He added releasing miasma.

“Kagome!” Shippo called riding on Kilala. “Get on.” He said holding out his hand. She took it and quickly hopped on Kilala’s back. Once on Kilala took off high into the sky, so they could watch from a safe distance.

“Lets just get this over with.” Inuyasha growled lunging at Naraku.

“When will you learn.” Naraku laughed and with little effort he dodged Inuyasha’s attacked and several others.

“You talk to much.” Inuyasha growled “Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.” He yelled slashing Naraku across the chest and back, but the damage it did only lasted a few seconds before healing up. ‘Damn.’

Naraku wore a pure evil smirk as he saw the shocked on Inuyasha’s face. “You may be full demon but there is no way that weak attack will bring me down.” Naraku said as a green tentacle flew at Inuyasha. He dodged it several times but a second one attacked and he wasn’t so lucky, one stabbed him in the shoulder and the other in the stomach. “You can’t defeat me so be a good dog, lay down and accept your fate.” He added with a smirk.

“We have to help.” Kagome said watching the horrifying battle.

“Inuyasha will kill us if we get in the way.” Shippo responded looking terrified. Kagome frantically search for something anything that she could use to help. “There…Kilala.” She shouted pointing down at the Tetsusaiga. Kilala immediately took off reaching the Tetsusaiga in seconds, Kagome quickly plucked it out of the ground and the road back up to safety.

“Give up.” Naraku called as Inuyasha sliced threw some more of his tentacles.

“Die.” Inuyasha yelled lunging at Naraku. “Blades of blood!” He yelled hitting Naraku dead in the chest, knocking him back a few step. “Blades of blood!” He called out once more hitting Naraku again. Inuyasha swiftly landed back on the ground and waited for the dust to clear.

Naraku released an evil bone cringing laugh. “Did you really think that would of finish me off.”

‘Without the Tetsusaiga your no match for him.’

‘Your precious sword can’t help us now.’

“Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.” Inuyasha lunged at Naraku once more, slashing him several times to the body then hitting him several times in the jaw with his fist. Naraku stepped back but was unable to gain his ground before Inuyasha attack again. “Blades of blood.” The attack hit Naraku dead on. Naraku dazed and some what confused stumbled back out of the dust, only to hit a rock hard chest, he attacked with one of his tentacles but when he turned around Inuyasha wasn’t there, or anywhere to be found and his scent had been covered. This put a smile on Naraku’s face. “Running away.” He called turning in a complete circle.

“You wish.” Inuyasha replied from somewhere behind him. “Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.” He yelled jumping from the trees and slicing Naraku‘s back, he did this until every part of skin showing was covered in blood. Inuyasha jumped onto the god tree and let the dust settle a little, a smirk appeared on his face when he saw that Naraku hadn‘t got up yet, and he wasn‘t going to let him. “Blades of blood.” He yelled once again the attack hit Naraku. Inuyasha used blades of blood three more times, knocking Naraku deeper into the ground.

((The credit for the next scene goes to my good friend Laura))
The dust cleared and all there was left of Naraku, was a Naraku shaped hole in the ground. Inuyasha walked over to the hole and peered down to make sure that Naraku was dead, but all he found was a doll with a piece of hair on it. ‘A doll? Then where is the real Naraku?’ Inuyasha thought holding the doll. Then he was suddenly struck down with a tentacle going through his back and out his stomach.

“INUYASHA!!” screamed a historical Kagome as the evil bone chilling laughter of Naraku ran through out the whole field as Inuyasha fell to the ground.

“Finally, Inuyasha is dead.” Naraku said as he look up to Kagome. “What are you going do now miko? Your protector is gone and your friends are injured. Hand over the jewel and I might consider letting you live.”

“Never! Inuyasha get up! I know you can do it! Please don't leave me alone.....I can‘t live without you!” Kagome shouted as hot tears streaming down her cheeks. Inuyasha heard Kagome’s calls but couldn’t get up, he couldn’t move.
((Thanks Laura))

“Give it up he’s dead.” He said with a evil grin as a tentacle flew toward Kagome, missing but knocking her off Kilala.

“KAGOME!” Shippo called as he watched her fall. Kilala immediately took off after her. Naraku chuckled as the tentacle stabbed into Kilala’s right side then tossed her into a nearby tree, taking Shippo with her.

“Hand over the jewel and you’ll live to see another day.” He said advancing on Kagome, who was just getting to her feet. Kagome clutched the Tetsusaiga tightly to her chest as she slowly backed away from him. “It’s over girly…”

“Who said?” Inuyasha said slowly getting to his feet, capturing Naraku’s attention. “I’d say it’s just the beginning.” He added turning to face Naraku.

“You just don’t know when to quit do you?” Naraku asked with a fanged smirk.

“Lets finish this.” Inuyasha said. His red eyes staring into Naraku’s.

“Lets.” Naraku said. Several tentacles flew towards Inuyasha, but he jumped out the way.

“Is that the best you got?” Inuyasha called. Before Naraku could redirect his attack, Inuyasha made his own. He socked Naraku in the jaw, then slashed him anywhere and everywhere with his talons. Naraku staggered back, grinding his teeth as blood ran down his lip, seeing this put a huge smirk on Inuyasha’s face.

((Credit for this next scene goes to Laura))
“What giving up already Naraku? I thought you were tougher then that.” Inuyasha said.

Naraku then wiped the blood off his face. “This is far from over Inuyasha. Who knows after I kill you I might take the miko as my own, after all you don't deserve her. All you ever did was hurt her.” Naraku said as he notice Inuyasha rising anger at the mention of what Naraku would do to Kagome.

“Shut up! It's you who don't deserve to touch someone as pure as her.” Inuyasha screamed as he attacked Naraku again with his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer.

Then Naraku smirked “I always knew you were always a fool Inuyasha…and you’ve just proven me right. You walked right into my trap.”

“What?” Inuyasha said right before he was stabbed three more times with Naraku's tentacles all coming from different directions yet hitting the same spot.

“INUYASHA!” screamed a terrified Kagome. 'No this can't be happen. This isn't suppose to happen.' Thought Kagome. 'I must do something. Anything…' She then notices the jewel around her neck. 'That’s it'
((Thanks again Laura))

Kagome closed her eyes, reached up and grabbed the jewel from around her neck and held it tightly in her palm. ‘I wish for the power to destroy Naraku along with the power to turn Inuyasha back into his Hanyou self.’ Kagome said holding the jewel up to her heart. A strong wind blew and the jewel glowed bright as time began to slow down.

‘Kagome.’ Midoriko called walking over to her.

‘Huh.’ Kagome said opening her eyes. She was back at the place Midoriko had brought her early that day.

‘I must admit you are a strong miko…almost stronger than me…but I can not give such a power.’ Midoriko said looking Kagome over.

‘Why not?‘ Kagome all but yelled.

‘The power you ask for is to great.’ Midoriko said. ‘Answer me this…what are you willing to sacrifice?’ She asked staring into Kagome eyes, determination and love glistening in them. Kagome didn‘t have to say a word the answer was clearly written in her eyes. ‘Are you sure?’ Midoriko asked. Kagome nodded. ‘I grant you the power you ask for…’ Midoriko said. Her hands began to glow and she placed them gently on Kagome’s chest. Kagome let out a small gasp as she was engulfed by light.

“Kagome…” Inuyasha called out in a low voice, as he watched the light from the jewel engulfed her.

“She can’t help you now.” Naraku said dropping Inuyasha to the ground.

“That’s what you think.” Kagome replied from behind him.

Naraku’s opened his mouth to say something but his words caught in his throat as he turned around. The light that radiated from Kagome blinded Naraku and immediately began burning his flesh. “No this isn’t possible.” Naraku said stepping back.

“It’s over Naraku…so lay down and accept your fate like a good dog.” Kagome yelled.

“Never.” He yelled back lunging at her.

A loud scream was heard and then everything was covered by the white light.

“Kagome.” Inuyasha whispered looking up as the light disappeared.

“Inuyasha.“ She replied in a low voice as she fell into this arms.

He looked her over and was about to ask her if she was alright, but the strong smell of death hit his noise. “It’s finally over.” She said a little above a whisper as she stared up at him.

“Yeah.” He replied as tears filled his eyes.

A smile spread across her face as tears ran down her cheeks “I love you…” She said staring into his amber eyes.

“I love you too…” He replied staring into her eyes. She caressed his cheek leaned in and with her last breathe passionately kissed him. When she fell limp, he pulled her close and closed his eyes, knowing he’d soon follow.
