InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ In your mind ❯ Tree of Illusions part2 ( Chapter 12 )

Hey here's the second part and I don't own a thing except a really big pool in our yard *smiles*

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Last time:

As she hit the next branch she was pulled into a field and cursed loudly at the person waiting for her.

 

Jakotsu smiled at Kagome as the miko reached for her sword. Jakotsu unleashed his deadly chain sword and managed to hit Kagome in the leg. Kagome spent a lot of time blocking the sword than getting to hit him. She waited till she saw her opportunity to attack. Her arm where Heten hit her was reopened and Jakotsu laughed.

 

“Getting slow miko? When I'm done with that pretty dog will come and I will rip him to pieces.” Kagome dogged another link of the sword.

 

“Hate to break it to ya but Inuyasha wont come.” Kagome held her sword, which started to glow pink. She quickly moved the sword in the shape of a star then cut the middle of it. A huge pink light came out of the star and headed straight for Jakotsu. Jakotsu's eyes widened as the light absorbed him. When the light faded he was gone. Kagome smiled as she landed back in the tree. She took and minute to heal her cuts before moving on to the next member of the band of seven.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“What the hell was that?” Kikyo asked as the light faded.

 

“ `Star of Light' it magnifies her miko energy ten times before releasing onto the enemy. Kagome found it in a book done by a miko who lived about nine hundred years ago. The technique is hard on the body but with the right training it's nothing.” Sesshomaru said remembering the day Kagome managed to do it the first time.

 

“Maybe she has a chance against the rest of the group but not Bankotsu.” Inuyasha said watching as Kagome took down another member.

 

“There is something you don't know Inuyasha, Kagome can use the `Wind Scar'.” Inuyasha stared at his brother before looking back at the miko in the mirror. Harry and Draco exchanged a worry glance as Kagome moved on.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome sighed as she faced Mukostsu, the poison master. She tried to stay out of the way of the gases but she couldn't doge them forever she knew that much.

 

“Stupid.” She said hitting her forehead. She put she sword away and pulled out her wand. She smirked as she banished the gases and cleared the air. She then summoned the mask he wore before blowing up the jars. She covered her mouth with the mask and watched as Mukostsu breathed in the gases. She quickly served his head off and proceeded to run up to the next branch.

 

She quickly dealt with Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, and Reakotsu. She looked at her watch, fifteen minutes to go. Kagome noticed time seemed to slow down every time she entered another fight. She knew who was next the leader and hardest to beat, Bankotsu.

 

She almost made it to the top when she was yet again pulled into a fight. She faced Bankotsu and as he wielded Banryu across his shoulders.

 

“This is your last fight Kagome. Beat me and you make it to the top. Lose and you join Naraku. Or if you give up now I'm sure they'll let your friends live.” Kagome just tightened her hand on her sword. “No, we'll you'll just have to beat me and if the mutt couldn't get me what makes you think you can?”

 

“Because the mutt wasn't a witch.” Kagome charged at Bankotsu while dogging his sword. Bankotsu kept swinging his sword not allowing Kagome to get near him. Kagome tried another `Star of light' but Bankotsu broke through it only to wound Kagome in the arm. Kagome held her arm and tried to ease the pain as Bankotsu prepared for one of his lighting attacks. Kagome knew the last time she was hit with this attack she passed out. As the lighting came down Kagome threw up a shield to block the attack. She didn't expect Bankotsu to land right behind her.

 

As the lighting stopped Kagome lowered the shield only to be grabbed and her sword taken away. He threw it a good distance and held her close.

 

“You don't need that any more, or this…” He started to grab the Tetsusaiga but a barrier prevented him from touching it. “Damn, oh well this is where you die.” He placed his sword against her throat. Kagome knew what she had to do but could she do it again? She closed her eyes as she felt the blade cut into her skin. She used a lot of energy to push him and the sword away from her and hold him in place for what she needed to do. As she held up her hand and went to recite the words Bankotsu broke from his bindings and charged at Kagome. With one option left she unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and held it in front of her.

 

The sword pulsed twice before changing into its true form and blocking the Banryu. Bankotsu stopped as he saw the sword change forms. His eyes widened as Kagome showed no problems holding the huge sword. He charged a few more times before staring at Kagome.

 

“So it's true, your different form most humans. What are you?” he asked. Kagome smirked.

 

“I'm the reincarnation of the Sacred Souls. I'm the last one and the most powerful, not fully human but not fully a demon nor a half-demon.” Bankotsu looked at her and sighed. He closed his eyes and Kagome felt the image where they stood shake.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kikyo's eyes widened as Kagome explained what she was. Did that mean she was also one of the Sacred Souls since Kagome was her reincarnation? The image started to get hazy and then disappeared. The group complained because they couldn't see what was happening. Sesshomaru and Rin started to panic since anything could happen.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“They can't hear or see us right know. Kikyo doesn't plain to let you walk away you know that,” Kagome nodded. “Well I'm going to tell you how to beat your next opponent. Your going to be facing Naraku like you did five hundred years ago the only difference is your doing it alone. Don't let him near you. He will make you watch the day your friends died again and again. Aim for his heart and use the `Wind Scar' as many time as you can. Also try and use that `Star of light' attack. And if you must use the killing curse.”

 

“Why are you helping me?” Kagome asked.

 

“I have seen what would happen if Naraku and Voldemort were to get their hand on you. Everyone would die. After you win this fight and get you kit back you must bond with your soul-mates…”

 

“Mates?”

 

“Yes mates, since you not only have your own soul but that of the Sacred Souls you have two mates. And I'm sure you know who they are. You must bond by the end of the year. Other wise they will never come into their full power.” Bankotsu explained. Kagome nodded as he finished.

 

“Now you must kill me. I'm going to let you because your going to need all your strength for your last fight.” Kagome smiled at him.

 

“Thank you for your help but why are you just going to let me kill you without a fight?”

 

“Because you've grow stronger from the weak girl I tried to kill a long time ago. Plus you need your strength for Naraku. One more thing, don't tell the mutt about this.” Kagome laughed and agreed. She walked up to Bankotsu and, closing her eyes, cut off his head.

 

Kagome found herself once again in the tree and looked up. Two branches left. She grabbed her sword and quickly jumped up only to be dragged into another image. She was standing in the field where the final battle took place. Kagome took a deep breath and walked forward. Soon Naraku appeared in front of her.

 

Kagome wasted no time in attacking Naraku. She ran into his barrier only to attack with a red Tetsusaiga. She dissolved the barrier and attacked with a `Wind Scar'. She followed up with a `Star of Light' and hit him attack after attack. She also did another `Shards of Blades' and created hundreds of smaller blades from a big one. When she stopped she let the dust clear to show Naraku had a few cuts on him but other than that was fine.

 

Naraku attacked with his tentacles and tried to catch Kagome off guard. Kagome kept using the `Wind Scar', `Shards of Blades' and `Star of light'. Soon Kagome was on one knee trying to catch her breath as the dust cleared again. This time Kagome managed to fully cut off one of his arms. `Aim for his heart' passed through her mind as Naraku created a new arm in place of his old one.

 

Kagome pulled out her bow and aimed for his heart. As she released the arrow it glowed not only pink but also green. The arrow hit Naraku in the chest and blew apart his body. Kagome smiled thinking it was over but Naraku laughed and pulled himself back together. Kagome cursed again and wondered what Bankotsu meant by his heart. She quickly looked around to see if she could find anything. Nothing. She turned back just in time to see three tentacles coming at her. She jumped out of the way just in time.

 

Naraku released more tentacles at the young miko who threw up a barrier to protect herself. Kagome looked around again for anything that stood out of the ordinary. Behind Naraku Kagome saw a small orb. She knew she would have to get closer but with Naraku's constant attack, she was trapped. She quickly looked at her watch and noticed that she only had three minutes left. Kagome had to think quick, the barrier couldn't take much more. She tried to remember any other attacks that could get her out of the bind she was in. Just as she thought of something the barrier broke.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Inuyasha was cursing up a storm as he watched Kagome fight Naraku. Everyone was shocked when Kagome did an all out assault on Naraku but nothing worked.

 

“There has to be something she can do.” Said Ginny beside Hermione. The girls were worried for their friend who was putting up a good fight.

 

“There is something but…” Sesshomaru trailed off and Rin paled again.

 

“Sessy she can't it'll drain her.” But Rin knew it was the only way. Kagome once managed to release a huge ball of miko energy at one time but it drained her for three days and it was a week before she could fight again.

 

“There is nothing else that could help her right now. I just hope she doesn't over do it.”

 

“What are you talking about?” asked Harry worriedly.

 

“If Kagome is thinking along the same lines as I am you'll see.”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome quickly released a huge amount of her miko energy at once, dissolving half of Naraku's body. Kagome quickly ran as fast as she could to the strange orb. Her body ached and now she was low on energy. As she reached the orb, a tentacle grabbed her ankle hoisting her into the air. Kagome quickly grabbed a dagger off her arm and threw it at the orb. The orb shattered and what was left was a heart with the dagger sticking out.

 

Kagome sighed as the image disappeared with one minute to spare. She made her way over to the sleeping kit and the cage opened. She lifted the kit into her arms and started to make her way down the tree. The branches moved back into place and the tree shrunk back down into a seed as Kagome reached the ground. Kagome looked at Kikyo and smirked.

 

“We had a deal, I beat your stupid tree in one hour. Now leave before I decide to test my limits and kill you. Today isn't your day to die yet, but soon it will be.” Kagome turned and begin to walk away when someone stopped her.

 

“You can't walk away. We have orders-bring you. Now give up or come in pieces.” Kagome turned to face the girl that spoke.

 

“You must be one of the seven sisters. Vera is dead and Rea and Riy ran. Be smart and leave before I decide to rid the world of one more idiot.”

 

“Why you…” the started but was interrupted.

 

“Kia Naraku said to return. There is a change of plains. Lets go.” The boy spoke. Kikyo just continued to stare at Kagome.

 

“Yes Kikyo, you were on of the Scared Souls but once you died the soul moved on to me. I'll let you keep that piece but I will get it back and you shall move on, Inuyasha or no Inuyasha.” And with a smoke of mesa the group was gone. Kagome walked up to Sesshomaru, handed him Shippo and fainted.

 

The lesser demons moved in to attack once the trio left. Sesshomaru set Kagome and Shippo down and pulled out Tokijin. Rin used her bow, Kagura her fan and Kanna created a barrier around the students. Inuyasha grabbed the Tetsusaiga and ran in front of everyone. He quickly lifted the sword and created the `Wind Scar'. The demons were destroyed in seconds. He smirked and sheathed his sword before turning back toward Kagome.

 

Harry and Draco were holding the Kagome and the young kit was waking up. The kit looked around at the students standing there and then at Inuyasha. Once he saw Inuyasha the kit ran up to him and bit his ear.

 

“Ow you stupid brat what was that for?” Inuyasha yelled once he got Shippo off of him and hit him on the head.

 

“You hurt mama that's what. I saw what you did after I died, you big meanie.” The kit looked around for said miko and saw her liying next to two boys. He quickly ran to Kagome and sat in her lap.

 

“Shippo, what do you remember?” Sesshomaru asked. Shippo turned toward them and smiled.

 

“Mama asked you to train her and you agreed, you found Kagura and Kanna, you mated with Rin, had five kids, and helped mama when she needed it.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded and was about to ask another question when Kagome started to wake up. Kagome opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was her kit sitting in her lap. She smiled as she brought him into a hug.

 

“How's my kit?”

 

“Fine but Inuyasha hit me.” Kagome glared at Inuyasha while asking if it were true.

 

“He started it by biting me. Stupid brat.” Kagome stood with the help of Harry and Draco. Inuyasha recognized the look in her eyes and started to plead…well more like yelling at her. “Don't even think about bitch….”

 

“SIT sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit sit. If I told you once I've told you a thousand time, DON'T HIT MY SON.” Kagome yelled before fainting again. Sesshomaru smiled before picking Kagome up.

 

“Lets get her inside before she gets sick.” Shippo jumped on Harry's shoulder as they walked to Kagome's rooms. As they reached the portrait, Harry and Draco recited the password at the same time. As Sesshomaru laid Kagome down, Kirara `mewed' and rested next to Kagome.

 

“Let her rest and come get me once she wakes.” The boys nodded and the rest of the group left. Shippo watched as the two boys changed for bed and climbed in next to Kagome. Shippo was unsure where to sleep, especially since these boys looked to be her mates. Harry smiled and moved away from Kagome to allow Shippo to sleep next to her as well. The kit was happy and cuddled between Harry and Kagome. Both older boys smiled the turned off the lights. Explications could wait till morning. Harry kissed Kagome on the forehead as well as the now sleeping kit before leaning over to kiss Draco. The blond smiled and the two went to sleep.
