CHAPTER 18 RE-CAP!

Running and fuming, she made her way to his room by following the dark and heavy aura. Finally she came to a door where the dark purple fumes seeped from under the door, and she knew he was in there.

So, the final battle begins now.

Chapter 19: The Final Battle Part 1

They were getting closer and closer with each step. Inu Yasha and "the gang" could almost feel the heavy miasma from Naraku's palace, although it was masked with a spell.

The group had been traveling for about two weeks, stopping only to eat and rest. Everyone knew what was ahead; the final battle with Naraku and his minions. No one knew what to expect, so it kept all of them constantly on their toes for anything that seemed out of place.

The heavy silence was deafening.

Surprisingly, Sesshoumaru was the one to speak.

"It is ahead."

At his commanding and stern voice, everyone stopped walking and turned their heads in his direction.

"In just a few hours, we will be there. I can tell the humans need one last rest before we are fully prepared for the battle."

Kagome rolled her eyes, not liking the way he made it sound like they were weak, but said nothing. Inu Yasha was ready to protest, but seeing Kagome walk off he followed in her direction.

He could smell her nervousness, her fear. Before he could question her, she spoke.

"Rin...I wonder if she is okay...I hope we aren't too late..."

"Rin is strong, and I doubt she would do anything stupid. It's not like she would try fighting him on her own or anything..."

XxXxXx

In The Mean Time...

Rin silently counted to three, and shoved the door open with her miko powered hands. The door sizelled as the spell holding it shut dissolved under her hands.

"NARAKU! You will be MINE!"

"Rin...I sense your anger, but what do you have to be angry about?"

He sounded so sickly calm, it bugged the hell out of her. This made her anger flare even more.

"Kagura...you mutilated her body, and you think I'll just sit here and ignore it? WRONG!"

Naraku looked at her impassively, his eyes not showing his new understanding. They had become friends, and somehow managed to hide it from him.

Although he would only admit it to himself, he was amazed at their acting abilities.

Instead of sounding stupid and questioning the new discovery, he decided he would make it seem as though he already knew about their friendship.

"I had a suspicion that you weren't enemies, it was in the way you looked at her. Eyes are the window to the soul, are they not, human?"

The way he said human made her want to shiver. It was with pure malice, and his gaze held only hatred.

"You have been brought here for a reason, miko; and now I will tell you why.

Your powers are beyond superb...and to use them against your friends would assure me of the full Shikon No Tama. Once complete, I can be the ruler of all, and everyone will bow down to me, or have a slow, painful death."

He stopped, watching her blank eyes. She didn't look surprised; in fact, it looked as though she already knew about this. Anger bubbled within him, and he fought to control it.

When she started laughing, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold onto his control for much longer.

"What is so funny, miko?" he spat out, looking at her as her body wracked with forced laughter.

"You think I didn't know? Do you believe me to be that stupid?"

Before he could react, she threw a ball of miko power directly at him, throwing him against the nearest wall.

"I will dominate you, bitch. You will pay for that last move."

As fast as any demon, he sped over to Rin, and held her body against the wall. Slowly so it was more painful, he took her neck in his clawed hand and began to squeeze as her head lolled against the wall.

As if Rin would give up this easily.

Without control, her body exploded into a huge beam of light, and Naraku was forced back by the power. Despite the holy power, Rin's normally brown and cheerful eyes were now red and orange frightful looking flames.

No more words were spoken, the fight had begun.

XxXxXx

Kagome leaned against Inu Yasha as they lay on the forest floor for comfort. Since their night a few days ago, they didn't have a chance for some alone time.

Absentmindedly running his claws through her hair, he got a purring sound in response. Kagome lifted her head over his and hovered over his lips, silently asking for a kiss.

Easily complying, he allowed her tongue to enter his mouth, shivering at the slight touch. Kagome sat on his lap, running her hands through his hair, pulling his mouth against hers even harder.

Pulling away panting, she tried to slow down her rapid heartbeat. This wasn't the time or the place; they would be fighting soon. Their first priority was saving energy, not using it all up.

Inu Yasha whined, and went to kiss her again when he felt something.

It felt like miko power, but very strong.

No, it wasn't Kikyo's...hers was always distinct. This power was angry, demanding, pleading, and revengeful.

It was then that things clicked in.

Sesshomaru bolted faster than any demon anyone had ever seen. He didn't say a word, or even wait. He just...disappeared off into the distance, towards the castle.

Kagome was up on her feet before anyone else. Well, just after Sesshomaru anyway.

"RINNN!" she screamed, and running like a mad woman tore down the path, bringing only her bow and arrows as her lithe form slowly disappeared from the camp.

Sesshomaru surprisingly stopped and waited for the girl to catch up. Picking her up without thinking, the two of them were flying away as fast as the speed of light.

Everyone at the camp looked for a moment at one another, and then started running around, as if they had temporarily zoned out.

Sango jumped on Kirara, and motioned for Miroku to join her. She gently nudged Kirara in her sides with her feet, although she didn't need any urging.

Inu Yasha stared as everyone left before his eyes. Growling, he grabbed Kagome's backpack and rushed off after everyone, easily catching up to Kirara.

It was obvious they wouldn't be catching up to Sesshomaru and Kagome anytime soon. Mentally, his mind raged.

How dare my brother touch my mate!

At the thought, he ran faster, leaving Sango and Miroku alone as they rode Kirara.

"I wonder what his problem is?" Miroku pondered, and grabbed for Sango's ass, seeing how they were in such a compromising position.

"I don't know what HIS problem was, but I know what MINE is!" Glaring at him, he immediately stopped his groping, not wanting another bashing on his head.

It still hurt from the last time.

XxXxXx

Rin hurtled all she had; hot, blinding balls of miko power, and had even managed to use her power to pick up tables and chairs to make them whiz past her and into his vulnerable body. She finally got a dead on hit, and a table smacked into his face. It shattered on contact, and after all the pieces had fallen to the floor, what was once a face was now a bloody, mashed up mess.

Despite the blood, his eyes blazed red, and he was more than angry.

'How dare she hit me? How DARE she? Can I really allow myself to lose to a miko? Is this the end?'

Naraku decided that he wouldn't keep going easy on her anymore; he was actually getting some minor damage.

"Now you shall FEEL my WRATH! RUN NOW whilst you can, miko! Your DEMISE awaits you, starting NOW!"

His body shook, and then became swarmed in the dark purple, thick miasma. When it cleared, the sight was horrifying.

His body was intermingled with every demon anyone had ever seen. These were the dead bodies of all the demons he had previously slain; and there were hundreds of them.

His had huge black wings; tentacles were coming out of his legs and wasit; his feet had white hot flames burning around them; there was just so much.

Smiling evilly, he put his hands in front of him in a praying position, holding them flat against one another. Black orbs appeared in his hands, and he shot them at Rin. She dodged, but just barely.

Uh oh...

Naraku laughed, his voice sounding like two separate, sickeningly scary voices. One was higher, more evil, and it intermingled with his regular, deeper voice. It made chills creep up and down her spine, but she would be damned before she let him know that.

Shaking herself, she readied for his next attack.

XxXxXx

"Sesshomaru?"

Kagome couldn't even see where they were going, it was just too damn fast.

He didn't reply, but she knew he was listening.

"Do you know where we are going?"

"Of course," he replied.

Kagome held on tighter as she felt themselves speed up.

Soon after, they came to a clearing. It was all fields, but it had an eerie feeling to it. It made Kagome want to shiver, but she held back.

Knowing he had reached his destination, Sesshomaru took out his Tokijin. His anger fueled his power, and he swiped the blade easily over the hidden barrier. The dark, gloomy castle instantly came into view. It had a heavy feeling, and the once blue skies were now dark purple, swirling with grey. Lightning thundered across the sky once in a while, but that didn't stop them from entering the castle.

Surprisingly, there were no guards, protection, or anything of the sort. It made him suspicious, but these thoughts he decided were best if kept to himself, for now.

Pushing open the heavy door, he heard noise coming from upstairs. It sounded like fighting, but it was so far away that even he was having trouble comprehending who and what it was.

With Kagome now off his back, they ran up the stairs and entered the first room on their right.

Kagura lay on the ground, looking more pathetic than usual. Sesshomaru found this the perfect time to question her about Rin's whereabouts.

"Where is she, and if you lie to me wench, I will give you a slow and painful death."

"I would never lie about Rin! She is my friend, and has always been there for me!"

She paused, looking at the girl behind him. Kagura recognized this girl as Kagome, and decided to continue.

"When Rin heard what Naraku did to me, she ran off after him..."

Sesshomaru's eyes flickered from golden to red, obviously losing his normally even temper.

"Help me up."

Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow, despite his anger, and yanked her from off the floor.

Physically stopping herself from limping, she led them to what was Naraku's "room".

Pushing open the door, the sight in front of them made them hold their breath.

XxXxXx

She did a cartwheel and avoided yet another attack, landing gracefully on her feet. Sweat began to mar her normally beautiful face, but it didn't matter. Things were better than just in her favour.

Rin was winning.

Seeing an item in the corner of the room, she began to use her miko power to hurtle it yet again at him, but he blasted it with his yuki and it disintegrated right in front of her eyes.

Mentally, she thanked Sesshomaru for making her run around in the fields twice a day; without that "training" she would have died a long time ago.

Her magical assaults didn't stop. Gathering all the miko power she could in one shot, it flew past her and slammed into him, making him stunned for a moment.

Rin, taking advantage of his slowed down state, opted for a more physical fight. Doing a round kick, she spun her leg in a full 360 degree circle and kicked him in his already mashed-together face. The force of the kick drove him a few feet back, making him stumble.

Knowing she needed to regain strength for a few seconds, she backed up and dropped her head, taking in deep breaths.

Seeing him up on his feet in an instant, she prepared another ball of miko power. Before she had the chance to shoot it, Naraku disappeared out of sight.

It was like he'd vanished into thin air.

Well, not quite.

Feeling his aura, she closed her eyes, doing her best to concentrate on where it was coming from.

Bad move.

She would be too late.

Whispering into her ear from behind her, only two words were said;

"Turn around".
