CHAPTER 19 RE-CAP:

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".

Chapter 20: The Final Battle Part 2

Rin looked down as a tentacle drove through her lower chest and sudden, overwhelming pain came over her body. Looking towards the exit with helplessness clouding her eyes, knowing it was the end, she was instantly stunned, seeing Sesshomaru and Kagome arrive to barely witness the horrifying scene.

Unwillingly
showing her pain and weakness, she dropped to her knees and emotionlessly watched the blood pour through her like a broken dam. Nothing could be done; she was going to die. The only other thing she knew at that moment was that no matter what, she wasn't going to cry. Rin had always been a strong spirit; so she knew that even in death; she would die with her pride.

Forcing a sad smile at him, her body finally willed out on her, and she collapsed to the floor in a heap. Her beautiful silk kimono got soaked in the thick, rich blood that was none other than her own.

After seeing this, he snapped. Losing his temper had never happened this easily in his whole life.

Eyes turning blood red, his body transformed into what was well known for his true form. It was huge, and that was an understatement. It was so large that is broke the high ceiling
, and doubled the size of the whole fortress with ease.

Howling his extreme displeasure at his future mate
's suffering, he lashed out at Naraku with his fierce paws, one being five times of Naraku's whole transformed being. He barely dodged, and grabbed Rin as he made his way for escape.

Kagome was royally pissed and worried for her sister. She loved her so dearly, and for her to have gone and tried to fight Naraku on her own was a foolish act; but was now really the time to be thinking about that?

Seeing Naraku
's attempt at fleeing with her, she screamed out OH NO YOU DON'T! and shot out a miko powered arrow, seeing it connect with his backbone with perfect aim.

The power of the impact was tremendous. It burned, seethed, and hurt more than any other pain he had ever experienced. It hurt so much that he dropped Rin, not caring as she fell dangerously close to the ground; if he
didn't pull out the damn arrow immediately, it was going to purify him to death. It was a partially stupid act on his part; his hand received an instant third degree burn from simply touching the crackling, miko infused arrow. He yelped with the new-found pain, and gritted his teeth to not show any more signs of weakness. It didn't matter; if anyone was going to die within the next ten minutes, it would be him.

Inwardly scowling, he looked over as Seshomaru chased hi
m down from slightly behind him. Kagome sat comfortably on his back with yet another arrow poised, ready to kill.

He turned to his right, but unfortunately, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara were blocking his path.

A few yards in front was good ol' Inu Yasha, screaming out KAZE NO KIZU!” with his sword just above his head, preparing to attack. Mid air, Naraku flipped forwards over, dodging it, and continued running past them.

Blood poured from the open wound in his back, courtesy of the stupid miko, Kagome.
Speaking of mikos

Getting a brilliant idea, he abruptly turned around, and with full demonic-like speed, raced back to where he had last dropped Rin.

Naraku cursed himself for having harmed hernow she would be weaker, and not strong enough to fight her friends without his help, even under his control. It would take a great deal of his power to control her, but he was confidant he could do it.

He just had to
make it there, before he got slaughtered.

XxXxXx

Sesshomaru, stop, Kagome ordered from on top of his back, an idea coming to mind.

He hated her commanding tone, but something told him he had to do it
; for Rin. Somewhat reluctantly, he did as she requested, surprising her when there weren't any hits of retaliation.

Now, if you'll allow me…

XxXxXx

A Minute
Later

Kagome was sweating like a pig, but it
didn't matter. Right now, she had to save Rin.

Sesshomaru hated it, but even with his demonic speed, there would be no way that he could get to her in time. If he tried, he might end up knocking her off of his back.

The last thing they needed was another free-faller.

Her energy was draining. She would pass out soon, if things
didn't roll along a little faster. She needed help. Internally, she prayed for Rin's power to help her.

Oh Kami, please help Rin save herselfshe doesn'tdeserve to dieshe didn'thave kids yet with Seshomaru, or even experience the blissfulnessof being head over heals in love

XxXxXx


Rin vaguely remembered falling, just like she had a while ago with Sesshomaru, except this time, no one was going to save her. She would die with the feeling of exhilaration in her bones. At least it would be quick and painless death, as she had always wished.

Closing her eyes in final defeat, they rapidly opened at a certain feeling.

For some strange reason, she felt a warm light encompass her, and wondered why. Rin knew that it
wasn't her miko powers, so what was it? Did it really matter anymore? Not particularity, but she was curious.

Lifting her head
, she saw Kagome, sitting on something that resembled a crazily huge, white dog. Kagome had her eyes tightly shut, and sweat was dripping off her face as if it were raining. It was then that Rin also noticed that her own body was very, very slowly dropping in speed as it fell.

Then things clicked; Kagome was trying to skid her body to a stop, before it hit the ground. By Kagome
's concentrating miko powers on Rin, her falling was being slowed.

Perhaps she would be saved, after all.


Perhaps it was wishful thinking.

But what of Sesshomaru's wrath?

A voice in her head interjected with anger.

If you die, you will never be able to tell him you love him, you BAKA!

Rin managed to nod her head in agreement with her thoughts, but then felt extreme dizziness befall her.

For some odd reason, she thought she heard Kagome say these words:

Oh Kami, please help Rin save herself

This was what kept her from going unconscious.

With renewed vigor to live, Rin willed her miko powers under her body, forming a cloud. She hoped this would not only lighten her fall, but perhaps help save her.

XxXxXx


Kagura managed to get off the floor, and put a hand to her spinning head. She was still feeling weakand it made her feel pathetic. Outwardly she scowled, hating her current position.

Before she could sit and pity
herself, noises of several voices could be heard from outside her window.

Slowly, she dragged her body to the source of the sounds, and propped herself against the window ledge to look out in extreme horror.

Rin
was falling from the sky, and all of her `friends' were fighting Naraku's transformation. Because of her good eyesight, Kagura could see everything as if she was standing right there. This was indeed a sight to behold; not even she had seen Naraku like this before.

He looked damn scary.

And she wished she could do something about it.

Kagura's eyes pricked with tears, knowing what was going to happen. She looked up to the sky, away from the battle, and allowed the salty droplets for the first time ever to stream down her face.

XxXxXx


Naraku scowled when he saw what the mikos were doing. Kagome was not only saving Rin, but she was putting a protective barrier around her. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to touch Rin. He would be purified instantly.

There was only way to stop this, and all he could think of was fighting Kagome.


Spurting up surprisingly beside Kagome, he lashed out at her side with his talons. Blood soaked through her clothes, and her concentration was thrown off temporarily.

“Sesshomaru…get her now!

Without needed urging, he flung his whole being downwards to grab Ri
n before she finished her fall.

Luckily, when he did catch her, he saved her by one second, literally. Rin came so close to dying that her clothing dragged on the grass by a few inches.

One second in time had saved her life
or if you dared to say it, Sesshomaru did.

He watched her eyes stare up at his, only at half mast. Her miko power stopped its cloud around
her, and she finally passed out, for good.

Having her in his arms
after so long made him feel like the luckiest person in the world.

That asshole was going to die now.

Nar
aku saw the feral gleam in the Inu Sesshomaru's eyes. He gulped out of pure fear. This would be the end.

But he
wouldn't give up without a fight.

Inu Yasha.

He sat stunned on the 100 foot tree branch close to the battle, and ready to send out the next attack. His half-brother stopped him.

Take Kagome and Rin, and leave now.

Inu Yasha
desperately wanted to fight, but seeing the two women in this condition made him change his mind; As if he'd ever follow Sesshomaru's orders in a normal situation.

Running to Kagome
's barely conscious form, he urged her on his back.

Weakly, she complied, managing to wrap her arms around his neck to support herself.

As for Rin
wellhe would have to carry her bridal style. She was knocked out; it wasn't like she could walk her own ass out of here.

S
esshomaru turned to Naraku and bared his fangs.

You have caused enough trouble, hanyou. Any last parting words?

Not giving the dirty half demon a chance to reply, he went in for the kill.

There was nothing Naraku could do to protect himself now; he was too weak to take Rin, and there were too many bodies around to save himself.

So, this was the death he deserved.

Sesshomaru
's fangs glinted in the setting sun, and he began to smirk evilly. Deciding that a quick death was not worthy of this dirty filth, he grabbed the tiny thing in his paws.

Swinging Naraku around by his long, curly locks gave him much pleasure. It was like taking a
Barbie and torturing it until all the hair got pulled out.

Slashing his legs until they were almost amputated, he growled in satisfaction when he yelled out his pain in a medium pitched voice that screamed his surrender.
But he wasn't finished yet.

That, my friend, was for trying to kill me. This, is for Rin.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes, knowing the hanyou already had his fate planned out. He inhaled the light that was slowly fading away into the night.

The sky went a lot darker, and a bright light shone from inside his huge jaws. He then threw his head back, and the huge ball of white-hot light collided into Naraku
's tiny form.

His whole body instantly covered with blood; the light attack had peeled off most of his skin, bearing his bones in several places.

The pain was so intense, tears managed to fall out of his eyes, despite the fact that most of his skin was missing now.


Not being able to hold on anymore, his body gave out, and the cold, black heart stopped beating, once and for all.

XxXxXx

Sango stared from where she sat on Kirara, in plain shock.

Kohakuwill he be saved now?

Miroku had thoughts of his own.

Glancing rather fearfully at his hand, he grinned in
happiness at seeing the kazana gone forever. Tears formed in his eyes, finally being free of the curse that had killed so many generations of his family. No longer would anyone die from it; he was saved.

Sango
's eyes also filled with tears in seeing his happiness.

At least he is happy. Maybe Iwill be too

She
couldn't help but hope.

Sighing, Sango and Miroku knew they had to go back to the village to be with Inu Yasha, Kagome, and Rin.

Everyone
's newly found happiness would have to wait until things settled down.

Who knew that for some, that release of happiness would never come?

XxXxXx

Kanna walked in to see her sister
staring out the window at nothing. She walked in, and kneeled down beside her, to make sure everything was alright.

Kanna sighed, finally being free from Naraku
's clutches. It was the end of him, and they were able to live their own lives.

Or so they thought.

Strangely, Kagura and Kanna
began to feel their bodies tingle. It didn't hurt, but it didn't feel nice, either.

Kagura looked down at her form, and nearly cried at what she saw. Her soul was leaving her body, although slowly. By estimate, she only had a few hours to live, if she was lucky.


Kanna's was doing the same, and neither knew what to do.

After a minute of thinking,
they looked at one another, and had already decided their course of action.

Kagome.

A/N:

Oh my gosh
I am SO SORRY for the long update. This chapter, I found, was extremely hard to write. I didn't know how to start it off, or where it was going to go. Not only was it hard to write, but it took me hours. *Sighs happily at finally finishing it*

Lately,
I've just…I haven't felt like writing. NO, I will NOT give up on this fic, (after all, it's so close to being done!) it's just that when I'm not in the mood to write, I find that I can't write to my full potential.

Anyway,
I hoped you like the chapter! I tried to make it a little longer than usual…I don't know if it turned out that way, though. I also tried not to make it a cliff hanger, (I know you guys hate my cliff hangers!) but I don't know if that worked out either.

Please read and review, all of you guys are awesome! ^_^


Sincerely,

-AA
