Chapter 12-Her End

Sometime during the night, Chandra reverted back to her human form. She woke to Sesshomaru grinning wickedly at her. She blushed when she remembered what he had said yesterday.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Rin came running up to them. "Good Morning, Sesshomaru-sama and Chandra-sama. Did you sleep well? Chandra-sama, you are human again.", she prattled on about what was going to happen today.

Sesshomaru interrupted her, "Rin, go attend to Ah Un and get your things together."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru", she replied. She turned and ran to where Ah Un was hobbled.

Sesshomaru sighed, "She's full of energy from the time she opens her eyes."

Chandra laughed a little, "That's normal for a little girl her age. Wait until she becomes a teenager and you can't get her up."

He groaned in response to her comment. She giggled a little more and reached up to give him a quick kiss. "Good morning, Sesshomaru. Did you sleep well?", she asked.

"With you at my side, Koishii, of course.", he said. He looked at her, his eyes shining. She smiled back at him, her emotions showing in her eyes. "Come on," he said, "Let's find the others and see if they are ready to go."

They arrived at Kaede's hut to find everyone was ready to go. There was some surprise when they noticed that Chandra had transformed again. After things calmed down, they gathered their things and headed north.

Suddenly, Naraku appeared before them. Before anyone could say anything, Chandra pulled out the crystal and time went backwards to a point when they were walking toward Naraku. Everyone stopped and looked at each other. "What happened?", Kagome asked.

Again a transformed Chandra stood before them. "Naraku's ahead. I backed up time, so I could hunt Kanna, while he was occupied.", she said.

"But, if you backed up time, why do we remember what happened.", Inuyasha asked.

Chandra grinned, "Because I wished it. Naraku won't remember seeing us. Who among us is Naraku most likely not to miss?"

Miruko answered, "That would Sango or me."

"Sango, you come with me. I will need a look out while I take care of business.", Chandra said. Sango nodded. "The rest of you, continue on, and try to look surprised when Naraku confronts you."

"This Sesshomaru wants you to be careful.", he said, stopping in front of her. She nodded her head and smiled at him. He surprised her by dipping his head and kissing her in front of everyone. He broke the kiss, turned and strode away without a backward glance.

Sango looked at her, "You certainly have him tied up in knots."

Chandra smiled at her, "He's done the same thing to me." Sango nodded her understanding. "Let's leave everything we can here.", she said, dropping her pack, and getting her rifle out.

Chandra led the way, she took a round about route. Sango was impressed, she walked through the forest without a sound. She got into position behind Naraku and off to his left. They could see Kanna clearly through the trees.

Chandra was shocked to see this demon looked like a small child, but she put it out of her mind. She removed the caps to the scope, and settled down to aim. When she got the perfect shot, she thumbed the safety off and squeezed the trigger. The shot went straight through Kanna'a head and the demon fell where she stood.

She jumped up just in time to confront Kagura. Faster than Kagura could use her fan, Chandra used her crystal. She slowed time on Kagura, and walked over to snatch the fan from her hand. She let time return to it's normal pace, and stood in front of Kagura holding her fan.

"It seems that Naraku has overplayed his hand this time, eh Kagura?", Chandra sneered. "I'll make you a deal. Stay out of my way and I'll let you live. Naraku's descendent killed my family, on his orders, and he must die."

Kagura could smell Sesshomaru's scent on her, but this woman offered her life and freedom. Kagura nodded her head, "I must fight you or he will kill me."

Sango said, "You and I can spar and it will sound like a fight. The others are keeping him busy. He has no way to know any different."

Kagura nodded and Chandra handed her back her weapon. She and Sango started sparring. Sango hit Kagura a few times, and she created a feather and flew away.

While Sango and Kagura sparred, Chandra went in search of the mirror. When she found it, she smashed it against a rock. Hoping this ended Naraku's incarnation Kanna for good.

Meanwhile.................................

Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Miruko, and Kagome faced Naraku. Inuyasha had used his wind scar and he fell to small pieces, the familiar doll falling from the body.

Sango and Chandra met them at the clearing where Naraku's puppet had attacked them. Sesshomaru could see Chandra was visibly shaken, and that she was fighting to control her emotions. Sango looked at the group, "She's dead. Chandra did it in one shot." The only one not truly surprised at this was Kagome. She knew the power behind the weapons Chandra carried.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, "Will you watch over, Rin?" She nodded her head. He pulled Chandra into his embrace, created a cloud and left with her. He took her to a cave on his lands, that he kept prepared in case shelter was needed.

He settled her on the furs he had there and built a small fire. He said nothing to her, but held her, and let the storm come. "She was just a child, and I shot her.", she sobbed, "I'm a terrible person."

He put his finger under her chin and lifted her head up. "No, what you shot was a piece of Naraku. She was no child. If you would've let her live, our pups would have to deal with her. It was necessary.", he said. Then he kissed her and licked her tears away. Laying back with her, he said, "Sleep, Koi. It will be better when you wake." She rubbed her face against his chest and purred, almost like a cat. Closed her eyes and went to sleep.
