Hey guys, I'm back. I'm sorry if you guys are mad that I decided to delete the story but, I just didn't like anything that I wrote on there anymore and I wasn't going to keep you guys reading a story that I myself wasn't proud of. So here is my new version of it, I changed a lot of stuff to try and make it acceptable for me and this is the final project so I hope you enjoy it.

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER MAY SEEM VERY MORBID, GOREY, AND GROSS (I DO NOT RECOMEND EATTING WHILE YOU READ THIS CHAPTER). FOR THAT I APPOLOGIZE JUST PLEASE BARE WITH ME, EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS BETTER IN THE END AND IF IT ISN'T BETTER THEN IT ISN'T THE END.

(I'm a little bit depressed right now so that maybe why the gore is described in such detail.)

The final battle with Naraku had finally come, and with it came the inevitable victory... However, it came not without a price...

"No!" The strangled cry rang out over the battlefield as everyone in attendance saw the two bodies fall to the ground together still being joined. Both of them only containing enough life force to survive for a few more moments. The inu gang, Sesshomaru and Kouga, immediately ran over to the secluded section of the clearing where you could see the gasping bodies of Kagome and Naraku.

Kagome had a thick stream of blood oozing out of her mouth and her chest where she had been impaled multiple times by the slimy appendages coming from Naraku's purified corpse that was slowly turning to ashes, and making the blood ooze more. Clutched in a death grip in her hand was the Shikon no Tama, glowing a pale pink from the purity being transferred to it.

"Mama..." Shippou whispered feeling the hot tears pour down his face as he sat beside his mother. Kagome looked at him and smiled, she wanted nothing more than to reach her hand up and stroke his smooth skin and his soft hair once more, and ease his pain.

"Hi honey," her voice was so soft and ragged, sounding more like a gurgle than anything else. "Hey guys..." She whispered as her eyes met the small group of people all around her. "... I killed Naraku... Finally..." She attempted to give a chuckle but achieved nothing else but drowning in her blood a little bit more.

"Kagome..." InuYasha whispered kneeling down next to his best friend, they had finally decided that they were just too close to have the relationship that they both used to want and decided to just remain friends. And that's how it's been for half of the year leading up to this battle. He looked down to the blood stained ground before locking eyes with Kagome, tears falling from both of their eyes. "... It'll be okay don't look like it's the end of the world." He pleaded with her but she just shook her head at him.

"This Sesshomaru will simply revive you with Tensaiga when you perish." Sesshomaru said coldly, not really understanding why they were acting like it was such a big deal when he had a sword that could bring people back from the dead.

Kagome continued to shake her head at him, "No Lord Sesshomaru, I thank you for the offer but I already know the sword would not work for me... Midoriko came to me and said that if you ever tried to bring me back, that it wouldn't work and you would only succeed in making me a clay corpse somewhat like Kikyou was... No, this is my destiny, it has to happen this way..." She gave a shaky sigh before coughing up blood mixed with mucus and pieces of her internal organs. "Can you guys help me up? I still have to make the wish..." Her voice was entirely too soft now, no one aside from the demons could hear what she said.

Kouga went and sat behind her in the pile of ashes that was all that was left of Naraku, and held her up into a standing position. Knowing it would cause her pain but complying with her wishes anyway. She smiled in gratitude not knowing that her teeth were beginning to stain red because of all the blood coming from her mouth, or that there were pieces of tissue hanging on her teeth.

"I have to make the wish now... before... it's too... late," she could feel the blood loss taking its toll on her and could feel herself fading. 'Now before it's too late,' She thought and closed her eyes focusing on the aura of the jewel and whispering into the abyss. 'I wish, the jewel be protected always, that no evil would ever overtake it...'

With that final thought her lifeblood was completely drained from her body and she took her final shaky breath. Everyone hearing the last slow beats of her heart before it completely stopped, she body becoming limp against the wolf demon supporting her.

"... She's dead..." He whispered lowering her body to the ground and falling to his knees, only to jump right up when a bright light filled the clearing.

Well... What do you guys think? I personally think that it is going just the way I want it to and I cannot wait until I post the next chapter, how about you? Huh? Huh?

*Crickets*

Okay... Well I guess I'll stop talking now, you know the drill.
