Chapter 9

BANG!!! Kagome heard it. She hugged her dead mother tighter. Her eyes were closed but she knew Naraku wasn't far away and the bullet should hit her soon in a few seconds.

'Please kill me. I don't want to live anymore. Please...'

The delay was way too long. Kagome opened her eyes and found a surprise. Someone was in front of Naraku, trying to keep Naraku's arm, with the gun, pointed upwards. It was man, bleeding and dirty. It was Kagome's father. Kagome's jaw dropped as she saw her father, the father that she thought was dead, was pretty much alive and still protecting her like a father should. Kagome tried to call him but nothing came out when she opened her mouth.

Naraku was livid. Why won't everybody just die? This was taking way too long. Naraku didn't like it.

" Stupid little brother. Why won't you just fucking die? Almost every fucking part of your family is dead except for her. Why protect her anymore? You want to let her stay apart of this world where she is all alone, no more family. Do you really? It's not like you're going to live anyways."

Naraku yelled out as her struggling to get the gun pointed towards Shino. Shino used all his strength to push him back. He shook Naraku's arm and the gun was thrown to where the pile of tires, where Souta was crushed by the shelf. Shino punched Naraku a few times and pushed him onto the ground. Naraku was a little stunned. Shino ran for Kagome and checked to see if she was okay. On the way there he saw Koari and fell to his knees in front of his deceased wife. Kagome was still hugging her. Shino reached and touched Kagome's face and tears from Kagome's eyes started dropping. Shino looked at his wife again. She was pale and cold to the touch. He started hugging her and then laid her down with tears coming from his eyes.

' I couldn't protect my family. My wife, my son is dead. I'm not letting my only daughter die too. But would she be happy in a world where she doesn't have anymore family. Naraku was right for one thing. But would I really let my daughter just die.'

Shino looked at Kagome. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she was still trembling from all the death she had witnessed. He brushed away his emotions and put on a stern face.

" Kagome. I want you run away and get help. I hold Naraku down." Shino said strictly. Kagome shook her head.

" NO! I'm not leaving you here. You're the only person I have now and if you die I rather go with you then to live a life where I'm all alone."

" I SAID GO!! This is an order..."

" But daddy...I don't want to live anymore. If I really do survive you'll be dead trying to protect me." Kagome cried out grabbing her father's hand. " Look at you, you're badly hurt already and some more time fighting with Naraku won't help you get any better... I don't want to leave you." More tears fell from her eyes. Shino's facade melted away.

" My dear Kagome. If Naraku gets to kill you too, he would have gotten what he wanted. Go Kagome. Run and get help. Don't ever say you want to give away a precious thing such as your life. A life is never worth wasting and if death is coming you don't give up without a fight. Right now death is coming for me and I trying my hardest to survive, and if I don't just know that I will always love you, your mother and brother too. Promise me that you will always keep your family and me in your heart. This way we will always be with you." Kagome shook her head but she did understand. She looked at her father again and hugged him tightly knowing that it might be the last time she could ever do it again. She whispered a simple 'I love you' and sobbed some more on his shoulder. Shino hugged his daughter tightly and wept too.

Naraku was starting to wake up. He saw Shino near Kagome saying those encouraging words to her. He felt like vomiting. He stood up. Kagome saw him.

" Well, well, well. This killing my family thing is taking way too long for my liking and it's turning into one sappy story by the minute." Naraku said chuckling. Then he stopped short and his face changed from a happy evil face to an angry evil face. " Stop the corniness please. It's making me sick.... actually you know what, I'll do it my self." He took out another gun from his coat. How did he fit so much into that coat? Shino thought. He snapped out and turned around to Kagome.
" GO!! Kagome, run!!" Shino shouted. Then he turned his attention back to Naraku. Naraku pointed his gun at Kagome.
" Oh no you don't. I already to said stop with the sappiness." Shino tackled Naraku But Naraku fired the gun anyways. The bullet flew so close to Kagome's arm, it brushed lightly against Kagome's skin causing that area to bleed. Shino saw that and stood up. He gestured his hands aggressively signaling that she should go.

" KAGOME, I SAID GO!!!!!!" Kagome winced at the pain and got up She started a slow jog toward the vault like door. She wanted to go faster but her legs weren't complying. She looked back at her father as she was jogging towards the door. The words her father said ran through her mind.

' Father...I wont waste my life. When I get to help, I promise I will stop at nothing to put that scumbag into jail...'

A series of gunshots and squirts interrupted her thoughts. Time went slow. Naraku had fired. Shino's back was towards Kagome. Shino was standing there teetering a little and fell back. Kagome screamed at the sight. Naraku had shot right through the middle of Shino's body making a line a holes oozing with blood. The line went from his pelvis curving up to his chest and face. Blood was sprayed all over the ground and a lot was on Naraku. He was laughing, He grabbed his stomach and was literally rolling on the ground laughing with pure joy, joy over killing his little brother so brutally. Even he thought he outdid himself.

" FATHER!!!"

She ran towards him. She fell on to her knees and supported her body with her body with her arm. She couldn't breathe. The trauma she got from seeing her whole family get killed, started to rise from her body. She was overwhelmed with sadness and soon it turned to rage. Naraku was laughing, laughing from killing his little brother. How did he turn so mental? She wanted to kill him. Lucky enough there was a knife near her. She grabbed it and ran for Naraku. Naraku saw her and stopped his fits of laughter. Kagome brought the knife down but Naraku rolled away just in time. Kagome growled a little. Naraku just laughed again. The little girl wanted a fight.

" You want to fight, little girl. Well come at me. What are you waiting for?" He wiped a tear of joy from his eyes and got into a fighting stance, with his fists up and knees bent. Kagome growled lowly and then thought of what her father said, '...A life is never worth wasting and if death is coming you don't give up without a fight...' Kagome nodded and closed her eyes.

" Yes father. I won't go down without a fight...but I hope that I can keep Naraku from having what he wants… me dirty dead and bleeding...give me strength father...' She opened her eyes and got ready. Without another second thought. She lifted her knife and lunged towards Naraku.
