“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“This Sesshomarou is through playing stupid games with you. Tell me what you want Naraku!” an exasperated Sesshomarou finally said.

 

“Well, Lord Sesshomarou since you ask so nicely. I desire to complete my little collection, by acquiring both Tessaiga and Tenseiga” the dark hanyou said with a small smile.

 

“Not over my dead body” Inuyasha screamed back.

 

“What about our dear sister in law's dead body?” Naraku asked raising an eyebrow.

 

The two Inuyoukai brothers growled in frustration, but stopped when a loud laughter resonated throughout the ballroom. It was none other than Kagura's.

 

The wind sorceress took a deep breath and turned around as best she could due to the tentacles still being wrapped around her. Looking straight into Naraku's red eyes, she gently raised her hand and stroked his cheek as she said

 

“Naraku, my love no need to make so scary threats. If it is the swords you want I can get them for you.” Then pointing behind the table she added “besides I already got Tenseiga for you. Ever since the day you first told me about the legendary swords, I could tell how much you wanted them. So I thought of a way to get them for you. And using Sesshomarou was such an easy and smart idea, wouldn't you agree?”

 

Sesshomarou felt as if someone had just gave him a one way ticket to hell. His throat felt unbearably tight and painful. As his traitorous mind kept replaying the life he had led with Kagura so far, everything from their unusual meeting, leading up to their mating, he could not believe what his wind witch just said and did.

 

He had never in his life felt so many emotions racing through his head they were ranging from pain to anger. It took him a few moments to regain the ability to speak and said on an unusually soft voice “Kagura what is the meaning of this?!”

 

She turned around to face him and had a small smile plastered on her face as she said “I have been working with Naraku all along. I just used you Sesshomarou, face it!”

 

For once even Inuyasha was left speechless, the only thing he could say was “What the fuck!”

 

Kagura turned towards Naraku and placed a gentle kiss on his lips as she said “go ahead, take what's yours. Tenseiga is waiting for you”.

 

Naraku who had been chuckling, exploded in an incontrollable fit of laughter after hearing Kagura's words. He then removed his tentacles from her body and said caressing her face “looks like you were not so useless Kagu”. He then kissed the wind sorceress' lips hungrily, mercilessly plunging his tongue in her mouth, bruising her soft lips in the process.

 

As Naraku stepped behind the table to retrieve the Sword of Heaven he added “I always knew you would eventually come back to me”.

Watching the woman he thought loved him, kiss his greatest enemy, Sesshomarou felt as if he was stuck in a nightmare. As Naraku made his way around the table to grab his father's fang, the Dog demon Lord did not even move a muscle.

 

He was not the only one too stunned to react. Inuyasha was just staring at the scene unfolding in front of them with his mouth wide open. While Kagome was furiously shaking her head as if she was trying to rid her mind of what she just saw.

 

The two other Lords, Kouga and Menomarou were at a loss of words themselves. They could not understand how Kagura went from being an ally they had to rescue to being an enemy.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Naraku still had a triumphant smile plastered on his face as he reached to take Tenseiga. He had barely touched the blade that he felt an unbearable pain spreading through his arm. His body was then propelled in the air and he ended up crashing into a wall.

 

Not wasting any time to see if he was really knocked out, Kagura grabbed Tenseiga and ran to Sesshomarou. Hot tears were rolling on her cheeks and she had a disgusted look on her face as she furiously wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

 

She grabbed fistfuls of Sesshomarou's clothing and buried her face into his shirt as she kept muttering “I'm sorry so sorry, I had to do it”.

 

Sesshomarou breathed a sigh of deep relief and wrapped his arms around Kagura. After a minute of simply enjoying the feel of his wind sorceress in his arms, he held her at arms length and mentally checked for any injuries. Not seeing any he smiled at her and wiped her tears. He then gently said “It's okay. Calm down, I understand.”

 

“I had to do it please forgive me. Through her mirror Kanna advised me to act to get away and I just had to make it as realistic as possible…” She whispered once more burying her face in his chest, seeking his comforting scent.

 

“Shh! Of course I forgive you. You managed to get away safely. It is the only thing that matters” he answered.

 

Loud grunts were heard from the place were Naraku's body was thrown away. “You will pay for this wind bitch!” the spider half demon screamed as he painfully got to his feet. He then raised So'unga and screamed at the top of his lung “Gokuryuuha”. To his surprise and frustration nothing happened.

 

Sesshomarou smirked and pushing Kagura behind him, using himself to shield her he said “such a powerful technique can not be used by a weakling such as you. It's all over now, this Sesshomarou will end your pitiful life Naraku. Isn't it ironic? I will kill you with the fang of the pathetic ogre you sent after my mate”.

 

Seeing Sesshomarou raise Tokijin, Naraku swung So'unga and tried to summon more dead to fight for him. But once again nothing happened.

 

“Keh! Do you really think your cheap trick can work twice on us?” Inuyasha asked. “It's useless you won't be able to use it anymore” he then pointed to Kagome.

 

“Using the power of the Shikon jewel, I purified the grounds, all the dead around the area are now at peace. So you won't be able to awaken them”.

 

“What this is impossible!” Naraku screamed, he then looked around for help and his eyes fell on Hakudoushi who had a small smile on his pale lips. “Hakudoushi, do something!”

 

The younger demon snorted and said “why would I? They can kill you for all I care. Hell I would even help them”.

 

Naraku was furious and he shot venomously “you would betray me? Your older brother?!” Naraku's gaze then stopped on Kanna and he said “what about you Kanna? Use your mirror and steal their souls”.

 

The young emotionless looking demoness said on her soft voice “I will do no such thing. And you are not my brother, my only brother is Hakudoushi. Since the moment you took us in `your family', you simply used us. The only person who has ever cared about me was Kagura, she showed me love and treated me like her own sister.”

 

“You too Kanna? You would betray ME for this wind bitch?!” the now enraged dark hanyou screamed.

 

“I already have. Why do you think Juromarou and Kagemarou never got to the children? Or how is it that I never found Kagura for you despite the numbers of time you asked me to find her with my mirror?” the usually calm demoness screamed back at her adoptive older brother.

 

Sesshomarou who was now standing just in front of Naraku pointed Tokijin at his chest and said “It appears everyone has left your side. But do not worry Naraku, will be able to make friends with scum like you down in hell. Do you have any last words?”

 

The half demon chuckled as he was surrounded by a blinding light. Sesshomarou made a quick jump backwards and went to stand not far from Kagura, shielding her body with his own.

 

Once the light dissipated to everyone's horror they noticed that Naraku had changed in the form of a giant spider. He looked down at Sesshomarou and asked “Ku ku ku do you really think that I would go down without a fight?”

 

Sesshomarou felt his inner demon swell as he tightened his hold on Toukijin's hilt and advanced towards Naraku. The demon lord barely had time to do a side step in order to escape from being hit by one of the spider's legs. As he regained his footing, he looked up to see Naraku advancing on Kagura.

 

“I won't be taking anymore of your bullshit wind bitch!” the now fully transformed spider half demon screamed.

 

Not even bothering to answer Kagura took out her fan and said “Fujin no Mai” crescent shaped wind blades went straights to cut down one of Naraku's eight legs. But unfortunately her blades just managed to scratch his hairy legs. Her attack managed to draw blood, but it was a wound Naraku would be able to heal in not time.

 

“Ku ku ku Kagura you should know that your pitiful attacks won't do anything to me, besides…” Naraku did not have time to finish as he felt an unbearable pain. As he looked down he realized that while he was taunting Kagura, Sesshomarou had sent a ball of energy from Tokijin which destroyed two of his eights legs.

 

Before he had time to recollect himself the familiar yellow energy of Inuyasha's Wind Scar cut down two more of his legs. Now unable to move and betrayed by his closets collaborators, Naraku understood that it was the end of him.

 

As he saw Sesshomarou approaching him with a cruel smile dancing on his lips Naraku went from being afraid to being hysterical. Since he did not have enough energy left, he reverted from his spider demon form to humanoid demon form. He tried to crawl away, but his injuries were too great.

 

“You can have the sword and the wind bi…” hearing Sesshomarou low growl Naraku rectified “…your mate Kagura back. You just have to let me go”.

 

This time it was Sesshomarou who chuckled, he had the sharp end of Tokijin placed above Naraku's chest pointing at his heart as he said

 

“This Sesshomarou challenged you to a duel until death for all the evil deeds you committed. You have been defeated, and now this Sesshomarou shall take my revenge”.

 

Without another word, the dog demon lord buried his sword to the hilt into Naraku's chest. The spider half demon let out a horrifying scream, as his life ran out of his body. Sesshomarou pulled out his weapon with a disgusted frown, he then swung his new sword, so as to remove the foul blood covering the blade.

 

After sheathing Tokijin and picking up his father's swords Tenseiga and So'unga, Sesshomarou walked up to Kagura. Her eyes were fixed on Naraku's bloody and now limp form and she was extremely pale and looked as if she was about to heave or faint at any moment.

 

Sesshomarou took her in his arms and purposely blocked her from seeing Naraku's corpse anymore. He could understand the turmoil in her heart, as much as she wanted to see Naraku dead, actually seeing her former lover being cut down shocked her.

 

The dog demon lord then turned Kagura around and led her out of the ballroom, gesturing for Inuyasha and Kagome to come along. As they entered the car, Sesshomarou wrapped Kagura's shivering shoulders in the fur of his mokomoko and whispered in her ear “you are free now”. After taking some time to truly grasp the meaning of her mate's words, Kagura nodded and managed a genuine smile.

 

`I am free, truly free' she repeated to herself, as the many events of the night caught up to her and she fell asleep against Sesshomarou's side.

Gokuryuuha: I am so sorry guys, but I don't have the literal translation for it. I just know that it's the sword's ultimate technique. In the third movie it manifests itself as huge balls of red-purple energy.
