'Kagome's powers talking to her'

 

-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

 

They had stopped for a short break in a village. Shippo, Rin, Yoshirou, and Isamu accompanied Sango, Miroku, Ayame, Kirara, Kohaku, Kikyo, and Kagome into the village. Miroku left them shortly after to return to the group when all of the females and Kohaku threatened to kill him if he groped one more girl. Kohaku was in his normal haori and dark purple hakama. A sword was strapped on his side as he stayed protectively close to the group. He was not about to leave any of them, which they all seemed to realize as they had been staying together.

 

They were until Kagome began feeling slightly ill. The strong scent of rotting meat was permeating through the air. Kikyo and Sango were also feeling ill, and the demons wanted to get away from it. So the group was separated leaving Kohaku with the children. Rin clung to him and Shippo as the two inu huddled behind them. "Let's get back to the group. If nothing else, we'll send one of our demons, besides Inuyasha, after the girls."

 

All children nodded and Kohaku led their small group from the village. When they got there, all of them appeared in front of them. "Where are the girls?" Miroku asked as he looked around.

 

"Three of them are probably getting sick, not sure about Ayame. We came across the strong smell of rotting meat and it seemed to nauseate Kagome-sama, Kikyo, and Sango. It also got to Ayame. They bolted before we knew what was happening." Kohaku said calmly.

 

"We're ok." A voice called from the woods. "Kagome can't seem to quit getting sick though." The red headed she-wolf appeared.

 

Minutes later a very pale Kagome also appeared. "I can too." She seemed very clammy, Sango and Kikyo seemed almost as bad when they appeared. "I just don't feel well." Hiei was at her side in a second, which was a very good thing as she had just fainted.

 

Even though she still felt ill also, Kikyo quickly moved to her side to look her over. Brown eyes widened in shock as she looked down at the younger woman. A small gasp escaped. "What is it?" Ayame and Sango asked at the same time.

 

"She's pregnant..." The miko whispered.

 

Her words left everyone shocked. Kohaku came out of it first. "How come no one sensed it then?"

 

"She never dropped the spell." At the confused and curious looks she got, she explained. "She'd cast a spell to hide umm... an unwanted scent. Since she never removed it, it hid the change in her scent that would signal her pregnancy." Then she grumbled about Kagome not having morning sickness. Ayame snickered at her grumbling as Sango also joined in.

 

The group decided that they should move on since it was still early. Sango and Kikyo would ride on Kirara until they felt a little better, and Hiei would carry Kagome. Which is why she awoke snuggled in his embrace as he moved through the trees. Her body tensed till she realized where she was... or at least who she was with. "Hiei?"

 

/You're pregnant./ He told her mentally.

 

A gasp escaped her lips as tears formed. (I'm pregnant! I carry your child?)

 

/Hai./ He said, feeling relieved. When he scented her tears, he was afraid that she didn't want to be pregnant. But her voice in his mind was happy.

 

(I love you!) Happiness radiated off of her entire being as her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Hours later saw them at camp. The apparition sat in one of the trees as Kagome walked out of camp. It was funny really. She had managed to gain the love of a powerful demon. It was funny because their love was forbidden, just like his parents. A demon and a priestess were an unheard of match. But then again, it happened with Kikyo and Inuyasha. Her hand moved to her stomach where she could now sense the growing new life. Apparently she was a month along.

 

Her thoughts turned to the final battle. In her hands was the book that could tell her what happened. Taking a deep breath, she opened it to the legend of the shikon. However, she could not force herself to read it. I'll read it later. She promised herself as she closed the book. Tucking the book into her kimono, she pulled out her necklace. From it, hung the nearly completed shikon. If she was right, only five shards remained. Though she still needed to collect Kouga's and attach Kohaku's. That meant that only two shards were missing.

 

With this in mind, she moved back to camp. Was on the edge, she waved the wolf demon over. Apparently no one cared, since no one seemed to notice. Once they were out of hearing range of most the demons, Kagome turned to him. "I need your shards."

 

The wolf demon looked at her in surprise. "Why?"

 

"I only need two more shards after I fuse yours and Kohaku's to complete the jewel." She said simply. He nodded and leaned over to take them out, but she stopped him. "Let me." At his questioning look, she smiled. "I can make it so you retain the power for your speed." Nodding, he gave her a smile as she called the shards from his legs.

 

It was a few minutes later that she stood with them in her hands. Pulling out the pink jewel, she slowly fused the pieces together. Once that was done, a strange feeling overcame her. Blue eyes suddenly widened as she looked around frantically. "What is it?"

 

Turning, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Take me to camp! We need to get there quickly." Though he was stunned, he nodded and lifted her into his arms and took off in a funnel of wind. They appeared in the middle of camp and Hiei started growling. The miko seemed not to care though as she took off to her things the moment the wolf set her down.

 

"What's going on?" Ayame asked as she appeared next to her mate.

 

"I don't know. She had me let her take my shards to fuse them with the rest. Once she was done, she seemed zoned out then asked me to get her here quickly."

 

"You all need to prepare to fight." The miko said as she popped into the bushes to change. "The jewel showed me what's on it's way."

 

"What do you mean wench?" Inuyasha growled out.

 

"I mean that Naraku's on his way, and he's bringing all of his army and incarnations!"

 

"Fuck!" The hanyou swore as he spread out his senses. Sesshoumaru, Hiei, and Kouga did the same thing. They all felt the shielded approach. Kohaku moved into bushes on the other side of the clearing in order to change into his slayer outfit. Kagome appeared in her own slayer outfit with her bracelet around her wrist, a bow and arrows slung across her back, and a sword at her hip. Sango had also disappeared to change into her slayer outfit. Though all she had to do was pull off her kimono, tie up her hair, and put on her armor. The black cat-suit was already on.

 

Since they were close to Edo, Kagome commanded Au Un to carry the four children to the village. Jaken was commanded to go with them as well. The younger miko quickly moved to the red headed she-wolf's side. "Promise me something?"

 

"What is it Kagome?"

 

"If anything happens to me... take care of Shippo."

 

The she-wolf looked at the miko with wide eyes. "Nothing will happen to you, and if you did wouldn't that be Hiei's job?"

 

"Hiei, I doubt, would do it. And I may be taken back to the future. Naraku has the final shards. The last two. Sesshoumaru can raise him if he wishes, but I want him to be taken care of. Promise me?"

 

"I promise." The she-wolf said solemnly as she nodded. "Shippo will be taken care of, but nothing will happen to you."

 

Hiei appeared at her side a moment later. Kagome wrapped her arms around him and held him close. "Remember your promise." When he looked questioningly at her, she smiled. "To find me in my time if I'm taken."

 

"I'll remember." And he kissed her passionately, not caring who was watching.

Not two hours later, and they were engaged in a horrible battle. Blood coated the ground in rivers. Demons continued to advance on the group, and they all failed to kill their targets. Kagome was doing pretty well, but she, Kikyo, and Sango were told to stay towards the back. Kohaku was with them, taking out any enemies who got too close. Kagome stood a little away from them as she allowed her aura to thrum around her.

 

She was using her own hiraikotsu to take out demons that were farther away. Naraku had yet to appear in the fight, and not many incarnations were there either. After catching her weapon, the miko charged it with her ki and let it loose. When it returned, they heard a scream tear through the battle field. Demons were being sucked into the wind tunnel, but the winds were strengthening rapidly. That's when the young woman realized what was happening. Miroku's wind tunnel had ripped open!

 

Shrinking her weapon and clipping it back to her bracelet, she made a run for her friend. Others tried to stop her, but she evaded them. A bracelet on her right arm was pulled off as she murmured a spell. The beads took on a silver glow as she raced toward the monk. Lunging forward, she knocked him over and managed to bind the wind tunnel shut. Her body took on a silver glow as she began to fight the dark magic in his palm. A shimmering barrier encircled them as she did so.

 

When the barrier dropped ten minutes later, a youkai taijiya miko and a houshi stood there. The latter had grim determination as the previous stood with a positively evil smile. The demons that faced her ran upon seeing it, but they didn't make it far. She was ticked, and they would all die. No one takes her friends from her! Her powers surged around her as the silver flecks in her eyes hardened, turning her eyes silver. Faint blue stripes appeared on her cheeks. Twin stripes like Sesshoumaru's.

 

With this, the battle began anew. Kagome stayed in the middle of the battle. They were all fighting as hard as they could. The combined powers of all on the battlefield floated through the air. It caused the atmosphere to grow heavy, making it hard to breathe. The army was half dead when Naraku and the rest of his incarnations appeared. He was laughing at them as he sent tentacles at everyone. Kagome had been destroying a demon, and ended up being pierced through the chest by a tentacle.

 

Everyone gasped because of this. Blood flowed from the wound as all demons on their side, but Inuyasha's, eyes tinted red. Silver eyes dulled slightly, but life filled them once more as she managed to grab the shards from the chest she was pulled against. "Bitch!" Naraku roared as he saw the mating mark on her shoulder. He threw her at the demon army.

 

Her eyes glazed over as the two shards she stole joined with the jewel. Hiei raced towards her and managed to catch her. A pale hand reached up and caressed his cheek. "I love you... Hiei... Koibito.... I'm.... Forever Yours."

 

He nuzzled into her neck before moving his mouth to hers in a searing kiss. "I love you too, Kagome. My Koishii, my mate." The battle was still going on around them as her form started to fade. Her eyes closed as she took her last breath and her body disappeared. Rage filled the forbidden child now. Powerful rage. His eyes glowed a blood red as he turned to face Naraku. His aura pulsed around him, causing everyone to look at him.

 

A deadly smirk crossed his lips as he looked over his enemy. Black flames began to lick his frame as he took a step toward the kurohanyou. The evil half demon's eyes widened in fear as he took in the sight of the powerful demon moving towards him. Raw and untamed power surrounded the demon. Even his allies stepped back from him in fear. None wishing to be harmed for being in his way.

 

They all could feel his anger and his pain at losing Kagome. And all because of a stupid human who wanted power. A human who lusted after that which he could not have. The dark flames shot forth and engulfed the hanyou as he screamed in agony. More flames shot out and destroyed the infant that carried Naraku's heart. Making it so the half-breed could not revive himself. The hybrid then turned to the army that was trying to escape, but he would not allow that. No. Raising his hands, his power shot forth. Dark energy swirled around the air as his power destroyed all in it's path.

 

His allies looked at him with awe and respect as the enemy showed nothing but fear. Though those on his side feared him slightly, they did not show it. Shippo, however, would show no fear at all when he saw him in the village. Even after hearing of what the demon had done. The kit could only cry and hold onto Ayame. Sesshoumaru stated that he would train the kit when he turned sixteen. Said kit nodded and left with the wolves.

 

Hiei disappeared shortly after that, not wanting to be in the company of humans. It was a human who was responsible for his mate's death. A human man that he had once tried to kill. He had finally killed him, but he lost the woman he gave his heart to, and his unborn child. So he made his name even more famous. Making sure that everyone would fear him.

 

The others moved on, but never forgot their miko friend who died. The one whom they all loved. Inuyasha didn't seem to care much on it though. Miroku and Sango had many children. Their firstborn was a son, whom they named Tsukiyomi. Kikyo had a son as well. They named him Inutaishou after Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father. Years later, Kohaku married Rin after receiving permission from Sesshoumaru.

This is the last chapter of Haunted Passions. I will be writing a sequel though! I'll let you know when I get it up! I wanted to make this longer, but I had a few setbacks and ended up hurrying it slightly. Hopefully the next part will be longer. Now a special thanks to the people who reviewed the previous chapter!

 

Now there's one last thing that I have to say to all of you, I will post an author's note on this chapter to let you all know when I've started posting the sequel!
