Love and Insanity
A/N: Yo! Something accoured to me... something I got from a reviewer. InuDemoness I beleive it was, not sure, cant remember... Dude! Your totally right! See, I didn't really read the chapter before i had submitted it, and as I was reading it, you know, just to see, I noticed how some of the characters in the last chapter seemed VERY ooc at times. but if your talkin about where Sesshomaru throws the rocks at jakens head... thats not ooc, i've seen him do that in like 3 different shows, lol laughed my ass off. but as for everything else... I dont want to go back and change it... because I dont want to confuse anyone lol. BUT I also thought of something else, they have changed slightly.... but I do think i over exagerated on their changing... well except Kagome. I would think that Kagome would have changed a shit load after what Naraku had done to her, but she's still pretty much the same... but, different... ok, I might be thinking to much into this LOL!!!! I just wanted to say something about that, cause I do take my reviews seriously. Anyways I will work on that in this chapter as well as the rest of them, like i said, the last chapter wasn't my best one.
Oh and i had to finish the rest of this story on another computer that doesnt have spell check, and i suck at spelling but i really wanted to put it up. so its not spell checked, i'll go back to it and spell check it when i can
Chapter 17
Naraku's failed Trap, Sesshomaru's Deception
"Kill them Kohaku... Kill them all" Naraku's voice rang through his head, making him want to comply to his every wish. His eyes already an eirie shade of red as if he no longer had a soul behind them. His face remained cold and ruthless as Sango approached him. He insantly jumped back and threw his weapon at her, which she easily dodged.
"Kohaku, don't do this! Look at me Kohaku! Please... remember me..." hot tears flew down her cheeks as she whispered these words. She knew it was pointless, but she couldn't help not wanting to fight him. He pulled the chain back and continued to circle it above his head as he kept an eye on each of their movements. Sango pulled out her weapon and blocked yet another one of Kohaku's attacks.
"Careful! He's got 2 shards in him now!" Kagome yelled to them. This was no doubt going to make him allot stronger than before.
Rin stood behind Kagome as she looked at Kohaku in total horror. She knew that wasn't the real Kohaku. She knew Kohaku was a good person, and she also knew Kohaku was still somewhere inside. She couldn't stand to see him like this, it scared her.
He swung his weapon to strike at Inu yasha while he flipped over Sango and landed right infront of Kagome and Rin. He pulled it back and held it above his head to strike down when-
WHAM
Inu yasha kicked him in the back, causing him to fly 20 feet away and crash into a large rock, crushing the rock to peices. They paused for a moment to see if he would get up. His body lay still and limp on the ground for a moment. Then he started moving, slowly standing up, his left arm limp at his side covered in blood as well as the left side of his face, which was dripping with it.
It was as if pain ment nothing to him, cause he just kept attacking. He jumped back and threw his weapon with his good arm at Miroku, curling the chain around his ankle and stabing him in the leg as he pulled on the chain. Miroku screamed in pain as his leg was sliced open.
"How... how did he get so damn... strong?" Miroku uttered between breathes. Sango was instantly at Miroku's side. "Kohaku, stop this!"
Inu yasha was infront of him within a split second. Right when he was going to pounce, the ground shook fiercly below him. "What the hell is going on!" Inu yasha shouted as he tried to keep his balance.
"INU YASHA!!!!"
Suddenly the ground under Kagome and Rin lifted from under them and curled around their bodies, trapping them both inside.
"KAGOME!!!!"
Inu yasha ran to the rock that held his mate inside and sliced at it over and over again with his claws. It wouldn't break, no matter how hard he tried, but he didn't stop.
"I WONT LET YOU TAKE HER FROM ME AGAIN!" he screamed as he continued to bang and slice at it like a mad man. He was to busy to even notice Kohaku slipping away into the forest. He latched onto it when he felt it lift off the ground and move to the sky. He stayed on it for only a moment when a piculiar energy surrounded the rock and sent him flying back, slaming his body into the ground. He got up instantly and tried to follow it, but it was already to far for him to follow. But he got up and went in the direction he saw it go, hoping to pick up on its sent again. Sango Jumped on Kirara's back and fallowed Inu yasha.
"Shippo, take care of Miroku... take him to Keade!" She yeld before she dissapeared into the trees along with Inu yasha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My Lord, pardon me for asking, but why are we following Inu yasha and Kagome? Did you not leave Rin into THEIR protection?"
Sesshomaru didn't even bother looking at Jaken as he continued to fallow Rin's sent.
"My Lord?"
"Don't be foolish Jaken, I did not put Rin under Kagome's protection"
"Forgive me lord Sesshomaru, but I do not understand"
"You will soon..."
He could now smell blood thick in the air, not only that... but he could smell that human boy that had tried to kill Rin. "They fell right into his trap... foolish..." Sesshomaru said under his breath. He could see them now, he was hiding in the shadows of the forest, watching... waiting...
He felt the earth shake madly below him. "What... what is this?!" Jaken said aloud. Sesshomaru held onto a tree for balance as he turned to his servent. "Be silent Jaken!"
What he saw next made his eyes grow slightly wide. Kagome and Rin were suddenly trapped within an unbreakable rock barrier. It flew into the air, electricuting Inu yasha, then soared east. Sesshomaru was quick to follow it. He raced to it as fast as he could while never letting it leave his sight. Ofcourse, there was no way Jaken could catch up, and he was left behind.
Sesshomaru was fast... but this piece of earth was going faster than anything he had ever seen, eventually he lost sight of it, but he could still clearly smell where it was going by now... but that wasn't the only thing he could smell...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open but she could not see at first. Her vision was blurred and her head ached. She also noticed a very painful ache in her wrists. Her vision finally came into focus as her eyes widened in fear.
"No... not again! Please god... not again!"
She was chained to a hard stone wall in yet another horrid looking place she knew to be Naraku's.
"Sessho..maru-sama..."
Kagome's head snapped to the direction she heard Sesshomaru's name being whispered.
"RIN! Rin, wake up!"
Rin peeked open an eye to look at the person who was calling her name.
"Kagome-chan?"
"Yes Rin, It's me... Are you hurt?"
"No... Rin is ok..." Rin whispered weakly.
"Already awake I see" They heard Naraku's dark voice say to them as he entered the room.
"Naraku..." Kagome whispered.
"Ahh yes, Kagome... heard you were having a bit of trouble remembering things..."
Kagome could feel herself getting hot with anger. She went through so much pain because of this ... this monster!
"Do you remember... these?" he grined wickedly before pulling out the very same potions he used on her before. Her eyes widened in horror. He was going to do it again! 'No! Not again! Anything but that!' her mind screamed. She began having flashbacks of when she was insane... all the pain she went through, racing through her mind.
Naraku looked at the horrified look on her face and laughed. "Ahh, so you do remember. But don't you worry... these aren't for you..."
Her eyes widened to the size of tennise balls as she looked to Rin. "NO! Don't do it! Take ME instead!"
"Kukuku... I have other plans for you. Your time is short Kagome..."
"Why are you doing this to her?! She has nothing to do with you! She isn't in your way! Please! PLEASE! Don't do this to her! She is only a child!"
"Yes... a child" he grined as he walked up to Rin's limp body. He rested the back of his cold fingers across her cheek, stroking her soft baby like skin before harshly grabbing her face on both sides, causing her to shreik in pain as he pulled out the little green potion.
"She will fall into darkness allot easier than you did... It would probably only take one potion for her innocent mind"
"Naraku! You... YOU SICK BASTARD!"
"Kukuku... language Kagome, there are children in the room"
Kagome was getting more and more pissed off by the minute. She screamed as she tried to break free of her chains. "Your efforts to escape are useless"
"YOU JUST WAIT, YOUR GONNA BE SORRY WHEN SESSHOMARU-SAMA COMES FOR ME!" Rin shouted as she bit his fingers, causing his hand to jump back.
"Sorry? I'm counting on it" he laughed back at her.
"But untill then, lets have some fun...we have allot of time before he finds us" he said as he grabbed her cheeks once again and put the little green potion to her lips.
"That is where you are wrong Naraku... your time has run out" a cold voice said behind him. Naraku's eyes widened as he looked to see Sesshomaru holding an unconcious Kohaku by the back of the shirt.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin shouted.
"Did you really think that you could trick me Naraku? You under estimate me! You fool... I am not just another puppet to fit into your stupid plans! Now release her!"
"Did you really come here just to save this human child? How pathetic..."
"No, I came to kill you. Now release her!"
"Why? Why should I?" Sesshomaru stared at the potion in his hand, wondering what it could be.
"Because I have something you want" he said as he held up Kohaku.
"Heh! You think I care about his life? You are the fool here"
"No... but i'm sure you care about the 2 jewel shards that are impeded in his back..."
"Kukuku, It appears I did under estimate you... a mistake I will not make again. Although I am curious to as how you knew that..."
He only glanced at Kagome before turning his attention back to Naraku.
"Sesshomaru, you... you never ment for me to take care of Rin did you? You knew this was going to happen!" Kagome whispered in disbeliefe.
He said nothing in reply, he just kept his eyes on Naraku and Rin. Two figures quietly enterd the room in hopes to catch Sesshomaru by suprise.
"That wont work... You can't sneak up on me... Kagura..."
Kagura and Kanna stopped instantly and stared at him. "Clever..." Kagura whispered under her breath. She pulled out her fan and flicked it at him, causing sharp claws of wind to strike at him. His grip tightened on Kohaku's shirt as he flew up into the air swiftly and easily dodging her attacks. She did it once again, using more force this time. The sharp winds came flying at him, he dodged all but one, which sliced right under his hand, cutting Kohaku's shirt, making him fall right into Kagura's hands.
He growled at her as his eyes began to turn red. That just really pissed him off, he no longer had his leverage over Naraku. "How about instead of transforming, you save your little girl" Kagura smirked as he heard Rin scream. That snapped him out of it. By the time he looked to Rin, Naraku had already punched her and made her take the potion.
"Rin! Do not swallow that!" He said to her as Naraku held his hand over her nose and mouth. He was behind Naraku within the second. He took his other sword and stabbed it through Naraku's stomache, causing him to yelp in pain as he let go of Rin's mouth and jumped back. But it was already to late... Rin had run out of air and was already forced to swallow it. ( a/n: What's the name of Sesshomaru's other sword again? Not the tensiega, the other one... I can't seem to remember)
It was as if time had stopped for that very moment. Sesshomaru looked back to Rin to see her face begin to screw up in pain as she let out a horrible, ear-spliting shreik. Her body jerked around in pain as she felt her very flesh being burned away. "SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!!! IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH IT BURNS!!!!!" Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he looked at Rin wither and scream in pain. It didn't stop either... it just kept going and going... he couldn't help but feel... pain at that sight. Watching her being tortured infuriated him to no end.
He jumped back to Naraku, growling viciously as he sliced him right in half. "Tell me how to make it stop!" he tried to talk over Rin's torturous screams. Naraku pulled himself back together and smirked. "There is no way to make it stop... it will continue to burn her for hours upon hours until her mind has completely drifted into darkness. You can only wait for it to stop"
Kagome watched helplessly as Rin went through the same thing she had gone through not to long ago. Tears fell from her eyes as she knew that no child should ever have to feel the pain of being burned alive. NO ONE should ever have to feel that kind of pain. She had to get out... she had to help! somehow!
BOOM!
The stone wall beside her was now nothing but rubble as they all looked to see what had made it.
"INU YASHA!" Kagome yelled.
Inu yasha had to flatten his ears to his head because of the horrid screams that Rin was making. He immediatly went to Kagome's side and free'd her from her chains, as Sango tried to do the same with Rin's. She was moving around and shrieking allot, making it difficult to remove the chains from her hands. Eventually she was able to slice them open with her sword as Rin's screaming, jerking body fell into her arms.
Naraku looked in suprise and confusion as he look at Inu yasha and Sango. 'How... how did they get passed my trap? How did they get in here?!' He thought to himself. His planned didn't turn out the way he had planned for it to go. It didn't matter now though. He already had all of Kagome's jewel shards, along with some of his own. Only 6 peices were missing now. Two of them were in Kouga's legs, Two of them were in Kohaku's back, and 2 of them in a place he did not know of yet.
He laughed wickedly as he pulled the almost completed Shikon no tama from his robes and swallowed it. He could feel power running through his viens. He made a motion at Kagura, telling her to do something with his motions, as his arms turned to brown tenticles which flew directly at Sango unexpectedly. Sango never even saw it coming!
WHAM!
She dropped Rin as it sent her crashing into the wall with a loud crack as she hit it. She screamed out in pain as she heard a familiar voice scream out her name as well. Her eyes widened as she looked up at Kagura, who had her hand peirced through Kohaku's back as she pulled out 2 jewel shards.
"SANGO!!!"
All of Kohaku's memories came flooding back to him at that very moment. A pool of blood began to form beneath his feet as Kagura dropped him into it to take on an on-coming attack from Inu yasha. He caughed up even more blood as he moaned in pain on his hands and knees. "Oh my god! KOHAKU!!!!" Sango shrieked out as she crawled to him. She felt the blood beneather her as she got closer. He had already lost so much blood. He just kept caughing it up as it leaked out of his wounds in his back. Kohaku looked at her as his knees and hands gave out and he colapsed in his bloody mess with a splash.
She imediatly picked him up and set him onto her lap. He was totally drenched in blood by now... they both were, but it was all Kohaku's blood. "Oh god Kohaku..." Sango muttered as tears came flowing down her cheeks and onto Kohaku's forhead. His eyes opened slighly as he looked up at her.
"Sango, is that you?"
"Yes Kohaku, its me" she weaped.
"I hear... screaming... Rin is screaming... Oh god Rin... I tried to kill her too, I... I have to help her"
"There is nothing we can do for her... her pain will stop..."
"I'm... I'm so sorry. I did so many things, so many horrible things!" he moaned as he caughed up more blood.
"Its ok Kohaku... it-it wasn't you! It was Naraku!"
"But I did them... I killed father, and the other slayers... I ki-lled so many innocent pe...people" he managed to mutter between gags.
"Don't you worry on that Kohaku! It's not your fault! Just... stay alive... don't die on me!"
He smiled weakly at her as she pleaded for him to hold on a bit longer. She still loved him after all those horrible deeds, she still forgave him, even though he didn't forgive himself. That enough aloud him to be able to die in peace.
"I'm going to die... it's ok... I deserve to die..."
"No Kohaku, thats not true! Just... don't... don't talk" She said as she tried to reach for Kagome's bag. She thought perhaps her first aid kit would help, even though it was useless, she knew he was going to die right there in her arms. But she wasn't about to give up. Tears continued to flow from her eyes as she spoke to him, trying to put medical tape on the wound, even though she knew it was useless.
"Don't forget me Sango, please..."
"Oh Kohaku, I could never forget you... and I- I wont have to! Just please god! hold on!"
Kohaku could feel death's cold grip through out his body. He was going to die very soon, he knew it.
"Goodbye sister... I-I..." His eyes widened as pain took over his body. His eyes never left Sango's as he caughed up more blood and heavily breathed his last breaths. Sango's eyes went wide with fear as Kohaku gripped her arms tightly as she saw the pain on his face. Her breaths got extreamly choppy and loud as she watched Kohaku.
"Oh god Kohaku no!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!"
His breath caught in his throat as he arched his back... then went limp and lifeless in her arms.
"Oh Kohaku...Kohaku... KOHAKU!!!!!!" she screamed out in misury.
Hot tears dropped down her cheeks by the bucketfull as she hugged her dead brother close to her body. She stayed like this for many minutes before her eyes turned dark.
"Your death will not be in vein... and I'll... I'll never forget you" she said as she stood up and readied her giant boomerang. Her bangs shieled her eyes from onlookers as she gripped her weapon. The fight had already broke out. They all had seen Kohaku die, but they could do nothing. Most of the room now was nothing but rubble.
She looked angrily at Kagura as she attacked Inu yasha. She started limping in her direction, then walking, then broke into a run as she screamed and threw her weapon at her. Kagura was just about to attack Inu yasha again when she looked behind her and-
WHAM!
Kagura's eyes widened as Sango's weapon flew her back, crashing her past the only remaining wall and pinned her to a tree. Her mouth opened in a scream as she coughed up blood. The boomerang had gone through her stomach and practically nailed her to the wood of the tree. She squinted her eyes to focus as she saw Sango slowly walking to her. She knew this was it, the end for her. She had to get out or she would never have her freedom... that is, if they did manage to kill Naraku.
"Ka...Kanna! Suck this bitch's soul!" she managed to utter out as she tried to pull the boomerang out of her.

Chapter 17
Naraku's failed Trap, Sesshomaru's Deception
"Kill them Kohaku... Kill them all" Naraku's voice rang through his head, making him want to comply to his every wish. His eyes already an eirie shade of red as if he no longer had a soul behind them. His face remained cold and ruthless as Sango approached him. He insantly jumped back and threw his weapon at her, which she easily dodged.
"Kohaku, don't do this! Look at me Kohaku! Please... remember me..." hot tears flew down her cheeks as she whispered these words. She knew it was pointless, but she couldn't help not wanting to fight him. He pulled the chain back and continued to circle it above his head as he kept an eye on each of their movements. Sango pulled out her weapon and blocked yet another one of Kohaku's attacks.
"Careful! He's got 2 shards in him now!" Kagome yelled to them. This was no doubt going to make him allot stronger than before.
Rin stood behind Kagome as she looked at Kohaku in total horror. She knew that wasn't the real Kohaku. She knew Kohaku was a good person, and she also knew Kohaku was still somewhere inside. She couldn't stand to see him like this, it scared her.
He swung his weapon to strike at Inu yasha while he flipped over Sango and landed right infront of Kagome and Rin. He pulled it back and held it above his head to strike down when-
WHAM
Inu yasha kicked him in the back, causing him to fly 20 feet away and crash into a large rock, crushing the rock to peices. They paused for a moment to see if he would get up. His body lay still and limp on the ground for a moment. Then he started moving, slowly standing up, his left arm limp at his side covered in blood as well as the left side of his face, which was dripping with it.
It was as if pain ment nothing to him, cause he just kept attacking. He jumped back and threw his weapon with his good arm at Miroku, curling the chain around his ankle and stabing him in the leg as he pulled on the chain. Miroku screamed in pain as his leg was sliced open.
"How... how did he get so damn... strong?" Miroku uttered between breathes. Sango was instantly at Miroku's side. "Kohaku, stop this!"
Inu yasha was infront of him within a split second. Right when he was going to pounce, the ground shook fiercly below him. "What the hell is going on!" Inu yasha shouted as he tried to keep his balance.
"INU YASHA!!!!"
Suddenly the ground under Kagome and Rin lifted from under them and curled around their bodies, trapping them both inside.
"KAGOME!!!!"
Inu yasha ran to the rock that held his mate inside and sliced at it over and over again with his claws. It wouldn't break, no matter how hard he tried, but he didn't stop.
"I WONT LET YOU TAKE HER FROM ME AGAIN!" he screamed as he continued to bang and slice at it like a mad man. He was to busy to even notice Kohaku slipping away into the forest. He latched onto it when he felt it lift off the ground and move to the sky. He stayed on it for only a moment when a piculiar energy surrounded the rock and sent him flying back, slaming his body into the ground. He got up instantly and tried to follow it, but it was already to far for him to follow. But he got up and went in the direction he saw it go, hoping to pick up on its sent again. Sango Jumped on Kirara's back and fallowed Inu yasha.
"Shippo, take care of Miroku... take him to Keade!" She yeld before she dissapeared into the trees along with Inu yasha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My Lord, pardon me for asking, but why are we following Inu yasha and Kagome? Did you not leave Rin into THEIR protection?"
Sesshomaru didn't even bother looking at Jaken as he continued to fallow Rin's sent.
"My Lord?"
"Don't be foolish Jaken, I did not put Rin under Kagome's protection"
"Forgive me lord Sesshomaru, but I do not understand"
"You will soon..."
He could now smell blood thick in the air, not only that... but he could smell that human boy that had tried to kill Rin. "They fell right into his trap... foolish..." Sesshomaru said under his breath. He could see them now, he was hiding in the shadows of the forest, watching... waiting...
He felt the earth shake madly below him. "What... what is this?!" Jaken said aloud. Sesshomaru held onto a tree for balance as he turned to his servent. "Be silent Jaken!"
What he saw next made his eyes grow slightly wide. Kagome and Rin were suddenly trapped within an unbreakable rock barrier. It flew into the air, electricuting Inu yasha, then soared east. Sesshomaru was quick to follow it. He raced to it as fast as he could while never letting it leave his sight. Ofcourse, there was no way Jaken could catch up, and he was left behind.
Sesshomaru was fast... but this piece of earth was going faster than anything he had ever seen, eventually he lost sight of it, but he could still clearly smell where it was going by now... but that wasn't the only thing he could smell...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open but she could not see at first. Her vision was blurred and her head ached. She also noticed a very painful ache in her wrists. Her vision finally came into focus as her eyes widened in fear.
"No... not again! Please god... not again!"
She was chained to a hard stone wall in yet another horrid looking place she knew to be Naraku's.
"Sessho..maru-sama..."
Kagome's head snapped to the direction she heard Sesshomaru's name being whispered.
"RIN! Rin, wake up!"
Rin peeked open an eye to look at the person who was calling her name.
"Kagome-chan?"
"Yes Rin, It's me... Are you hurt?"
"No... Rin is ok..." Rin whispered weakly.
"Already awake I see" They heard Naraku's dark voice say to them as he entered the room.
"Naraku..." Kagome whispered.
"Ahh yes, Kagome... heard you were having a bit of trouble remembering things..."
Kagome could feel herself getting hot with anger. She went through so much pain because of this ... this monster!
"Do you remember... these?" he grined wickedly before pulling out the very same potions he used on her before. Her eyes widened in horror. He was going to do it again! 'No! Not again! Anything but that!' her mind screamed. She began having flashbacks of when she was insane... all the pain she went through, racing through her mind.
Naraku looked at the horrified look on her face and laughed. "Ahh, so you do remember. But don't you worry... these aren't for you..."
Her eyes widened to the size of tennise balls as she looked to Rin. "NO! Don't do it! Take ME instead!"
"Kukuku... I have other plans for you. Your time is short Kagome..."
"Why are you doing this to her?! She has nothing to do with you! She isn't in your way! Please! PLEASE! Don't do this to her! She is only a child!"
"Yes... a child" he grined as he walked up to Rin's limp body. He rested the back of his cold fingers across her cheek, stroking her soft baby like skin before harshly grabbing her face on both sides, causing her to shreik in pain as he pulled out the little green potion.
"She will fall into darkness allot easier than you did... It would probably only take one potion for her innocent mind"
"Naraku! You... YOU SICK BASTARD!"
"Kukuku... language Kagome, there are children in the room"
Kagome was getting more and more pissed off by the minute. She screamed as she tried to break free of her chains. "Your efforts to escape are useless"
"YOU JUST WAIT, YOUR GONNA BE SORRY WHEN SESSHOMARU-SAMA COMES FOR ME!" Rin shouted as she bit his fingers, causing his hand to jump back.
"Sorry? I'm counting on it" he laughed back at her.
"But untill then, lets have some fun...we have allot of time before he finds us" he said as he grabbed her cheeks once again and put the little green potion to her lips.
"That is where you are wrong Naraku... your time has run out" a cold voice said behind him. Naraku's eyes widened as he looked to see Sesshomaru holding an unconcious Kohaku by the back of the shirt.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin shouted.
"Did you really think that you could trick me Naraku? You under estimate me! You fool... I am not just another puppet to fit into your stupid plans! Now release her!"
"Did you really come here just to save this human child? How pathetic..."
"No, I came to kill you. Now release her!"
"Why? Why should I?" Sesshomaru stared at the potion in his hand, wondering what it could be.
"Because I have something you want" he said as he held up Kohaku.
"Heh! You think I care about his life? You are the fool here"
"No... but i'm sure you care about the 2 jewel shards that are impeded in his back..."
"Kukuku, It appears I did under estimate you... a mistake I will not make again. Although I am curious to as how you knew that..."
He only glanced at Kagome before turning his attention back to Naraku.
"Sesshomaru, you... you never ment for me to take care of Rin did you? You knew this was going to happen!" Kagome whispered in disbeliefe.
He said nothing in reply, he just kept his eyes on Naraku and Rin. Two figures quietly enterd the room in hopes to catch Sesshomaru by suprise.
"That wont work... You can't sneak up on me... Kagura..."
Kagura and Kanna stopped instantly and stared at him. "Clever..." Kagura whispered under her breath. She pulled out her fan and flicked it at him, causing sharp claws of wind to strike at him. His grip tightened on Kohaku's shirt as he flew up into the air swiftly and easily dodging her attacks. She did it once again, using more force this time. The sharp winds came flying at him, he dodged all but one, which sliced right under his hand, cutting Kohaku's shirt, making him fall right into Kagura's hands.
He growled at her as his eyes began to turn red. That just really pissed him off, he no longer had his leverage over Naraku. "How about instead of transforming, you save your little girl" Kagura smirked as he heard Rin scream. That snapped him out of it. By the time he looked to Rin, Naraku had already punched her and made her take the potion.
"Rin! Do not swallow that!" He said to her as Naraku held his hand over her nose and mouth. He was behind Naraku within the second. He took his other sword and stabbed it through Naraku's stomache, causing him to yelp in pain as he let go of Rin's mouth and jumped back. But it was already to late... Rin had run out of air and was already forced to swallow it. ( a/n: What's the name of Sesshomaru's other sword again? Not the tensiega, the other one... I can't seem to remember)
It was as if time had stopped for that very moment. Sesshomaru looked back to Rin to see her face begin to screw up in pain as she let out a horrible, ear-spliting shreik. Her body jerked around in pain as she felt her very flesh being burned away. "SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!!! IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH IT BURNS!!!!!" Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he looked at Rin wither and scream in pain. It didn't stop either... it just kept going and going... he couldn't help but feel... pain at that sight. Watching her being tortured infuriated him to no end.
He jumped back to Naraku, growling viciously as he sliced him right in half. "Tell me how to make it stop!" he tried to talk over Rin's torturous screams. Naraku pulled himself back together and smirked. "There is no way to make it stop... it will continue to burn her for hours upon hours until her mind has completely drifted into darkness. You can only wait for it to stop"
Kagome watched helplessly as Rin went through the same thing she had gone through not to long ago. Tears fell from her eyes as she knew that no child should ever have to feel the pain of being burned alive. NO ONE should ever have to feel that kind of pain. She had to get out... she had to help! somehow!
BOOM!
The stone wall beside her was now nothing but rubble as they all looked to see what had made it.
"INU YASHA!" Kagome yelled.
Inu yasha had to flatten his ears to his head because of the horrid screams that Rin was making. He immediatly went to Kagome's side and free'd her from her chains, as Sango tried to do the same with Rin's. She was moving around and shrieking allot, making it difficult to remove the chains from her hands. Eventually she was able to slice them open with her sword as Rin's screaming, jerking body fell into her arms.
Naraku looked in suprise and confusion as he look at Inu yasha and Sango. 'How... how did they get passed my trap? How did they get in here?!' He thought to himself. His planned didn't turn out the way he had planned for it to go. It didn't matter now though. He already had all of Kagome's jewel shards, along with some of his own. Only 6 peices were missing now. Two of them were in Kouga's legs, Two of them were in Kohaku's back, and 2 of them in a place he did not know of yet.
He laughed wickedly as he pulled the almost completed Shikon no tama from his robes and swallowed it. He could feel power running through his viens. He made a motion at Kagura, telling her to do something with his motions, as his arms turned to brown tenticles which flew directly at Sango unexpectedly. Sango never even saw it coming!
WHAM!
She dropped Rin as it sent her crashing into the wall with a loud crack as she hit it. She screamed out in pain as she heard a familiar voice scream out her name as well. Her eyes widened as she looked up at Kagura, who had her hand peirced through Kohaku's back as she pulled out 2 jewel shards.
"SANGO!!!"
All of Kohaku's memories came flooding back to him at that very moment. A pool of blood began to form beneath his feet as Kagura dropped him into it to take on an on-coming attack from Inu yasha. He caughed up even more blood as he moaned in pain on his hands and knees. "Oh my god! KOHAKU!!!!" Sango shrieked out as she crawled to him. She felt the blood beneather her as she got closer. He had already lost so much blood. He just kept caughing it up as it leaked out of his wounds in his back. Kohaku looked at her as his knees and hands gave out and he colapsed in his bloody mess with a splash.
She imediatly picked him up and set him onto her lap. He was totally drenched in blood by now... they both were, but it was all Kohaku's blood. "Oh god Kohaku..." Sango muttered as tears came flowing down her cheeks and onto Kohaku's forhead. His eyes opened slighly as he looked up at her.
"Sango, is that you?"
"Yes Kohaku, its me" she weaped.
"I hear... screaming... Rin is screaming... Oh god Rin... I tried to kill her too, I... I have to help her"
"There is nothing we can do for her... her pain will stop..."
"I'm... I'm so sorry. I did so many things, so many horrible things!" he moaned as he caughed up more blood.
"Its ok Kohaku... it-it wasn't you! It was Naraku!"
"But I did them... I killed father, and the other slayers... I ki-lled so many innocent pe...people" he managed to mutter between gags.
"Don't you worry on that Kohaku! It's not your fault! Just... stay alive... don't die on me!"
He smiled weakly at her as she pleaded for him to hold on a bit longer. She still loved him after all those horrible deeds, she still forgave him, even though he didn't forgive himself. That enough aloud him to be able to die in peace.
"I'm going to die... it's ok... I deserve to die..."
"No Kohaku, thats not true! Just... don't... don't talk" She said as she tried to reach for Kagome's bag. She thought perhaps her first aid kit would help, even though it was useless, she knew he was going to die right there in her arms. But she wasn't about to give up. Tears continued to flow from her eyes as she spoke to him, trying to put medical tape on the wound, even though she knew it was useless.
"Don't forget me Sango, please..."
"Oh Kohaku, I could never forget you... and I- I wont have to! Just please god! hold on!"
Kohaku could feel death's cold grip through out his body. He was going to die very soon, he knew it.
"Goodbye sister... I-I..." His eyes widened as pain took over his body. His eyes never left Sango's as he caughed up more blood and heavily breathed his last breaths. Sango's eyes went wide with fear as Kohaku gripped her arms tightly as she saw the pain on his face. Her breaths got extreamly choppy and loud as she watched Kohaku.
"Oh god Kohaku no!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!"
His breath caught in his throat as he arched his back... then went limp and lifeless in her arms.
"Oh Kohaku...Kohaku... KOHAKU!!!!!!" she screamed out in misury.
Hot tears dropped down her cheeks by the bucketfull as she hugged her dead brother close to her body. She stayed like this for many minutes before her eyes turned dark.
"Your death will not be in vein... and I'll... I'll never forget you" she said as she stood up and readied her giant boomerang. Her bangs shieled her eyes from onlookers as she gripped her weapon. The fight had already broke out. They all had seen Kohaku die, but they could do nothing. Most of the room now was nothing but rubble.
She looked angrily at Kagura as she attacked Inu yasha. She started limping in her direction, then walking, then broke into a run as she screamed and threw her weapon at her. Kagura was just about to attack Inu yasha again when she looked behind her and-
WHAM!
Kagura's eyes widened as Sango's weapon flew her back, crashing her past the only remaining wall and pinned her to a tree. Her mouth opened in a scream as she coughed up blood. The boomerang had gone through her stomach and practically nailed her to the wood of the tree. She squinted her eyes to focus as she saw Sango slowly walking to her. She knew this was it, the end for her. She had to get out or she would never have her freedom... that is, if they did manage to kill Naraku.
"Ka...Kanna! Suck this bitch's soul!" she managed to utter out as she tried to pull the boomerang out of her.
