The Battle

With Kagome

It was over.

Kagome sighed as she started climbing up the latter for the very last time. The Scared Jewel was complete and every one was dead. Even after all the training Kagome and put herself through for the past three years she had still been unable to help her friends when they needed her the most.

Flashback

Shippo had been the first to die. A battle field was no place for a child even for one as strong and brave as Shippo had been. He started out strong and blasted any demon that got past Kagome's arrows with his fox fire. He eventually ran out of foxfire and started to use his spinning top and some of his other tricks but he was soon out powered. During the fight he and Kagome had slowly been separated till he was to far away for Kagome to get to in time, she had desperately tried though.

Miroku had died next, Naraku had summoned more demons than could possibly be imagined and in sheer number they were all being over powered. Miroku had always been the most caring out of all of them and in fear of the danger that faced his friends he opened the wind tunnel. He managed to eliminate over half of the demons that were still alive. If the Saimyosho had not been flying amongst the vast number of demons he may have destroyed all of them and still lived to tell the tale. The truth was that mere weeks before they had found a monk well learned about curses and even if they were to kill Naraku the wind tunnel would remain to kill Miroku later on. Naraku had used the thought that the wind tunnel could be destroyed as a tool in his plans the whole time. Miroku then knew that he could never have children for they would share the same fate as his and that was something he would not allow to happen. 'To die would be easier, than to live my short life unable to be the woman I love more than life itself.' The words had been the last ones he spoke as he died from the massive amount of poison in his body.

Kirara had gone no more than ten minutes after Miroku. She had died shielding Sango from a blast shot forth from one of the stronger remaining demons. She did not die before she was able to return the favor to that very demon though. Kagome could not forget the look that crossed over her face before she died. At the same time she looked happy and at the same time deeply depressed. Happy that she was able to die protecting her mistress and yet depressed in the fact that she would be unable to continue protecting and aiding her.

Sango was the next one to meet her fate. After the death of Miroku and Kirara hit her she allowed her anger and sorrow to overcome her. Demons fell by the dozens as she let loose a burst of inhuman strength. The demons stood no chance against her but Kohaku was different she couldn't kill her own brother. No matter what had happened and how hard she had tried to tell herself that death would be a mercy for him, she still couldn't kill her own brother.

After the death of his sister, Kohaku had been released from Naraku's control. The moment all of his memories came back to him he ran to Sango gave her body a hug and cried in shame at what he had done. He begged for forgiveness before he took his own life. He had griped the sword Sango always had with her and ran it right through his heart earning him a quick death and allowing him to meet again with his sister, father and the rest of the village in the afterlife.

Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku and the wolves had not stood a chance to begin with. Wolves were only strong when they were with their pack and all the rest of their pack had already been killed. Naraku had just days before stolen Koga's shards so he didn't even have his speed. The order in which they died is unknown all that was for sure was that they had died as a family.

Kikyo was died to start with and she made her final trip straight to hell soon after the wolves. Her powers had been great but as time went by they slowly left her till she was but a shadow of what she had once been. Naraku had killed her for the final time himself he used some sort of energy blast that turned Kikyo into a pile of ash.

Inu Yasha had died, but not before taking quite a few chunks out of Naraku and draining Naraku until he was weakened by half. Inu Yasha still died even with the power of Tetsusaiga he was no match for the power of the Scared Jewel.

The last sound to come out from his lips was 'Kikyo', he was going to be with his love and he seemed happy even in the amount of pain he must have been in as he slowly died. Kagome's heart had not broken when he died with Kikyo on mind, she had known for over a year that she and Inu Yasha could never be together. She had come to think of Inu Yasha as nothing more than a close friend to confide in.

The last two standing had been Kagome and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru was there for revenge, Rin and Jaken had been killed and some how there was no bringing them back even with the power of the Tensaiga. That had been two and a half years ago. It was shortly after he joined that he started training Kagome at night. It had been hard but Sango had been training her for the past six so she able to keep up for the most part. Miroku had also trained her but that training had been in controlling and using her priestess powers. Inu Yasha had also helped with training her but Sesshomaru had helped the most. He had trained her at night so that no one else would know. The weak girl that she had once been was no more; Kagome had come t realize that in order to stop Naraku and protect the Sacred Jewel she would have to be strong. Sesshomaru was very smart so he had also helped her with many of her studies not including history of course.

Naraku had fallen last. He stood no chance against the combined powers of Sesshomaru and Kagome. After the battle Sesshomaru took her to the well and told her that the way he aged would mean that he would be alive in her time at they would surely met again at some point. He also gave her a small Fire-Ice-Cat demon, along with a two swords. The first sword was Kumori (Shadow), which had a raven black hilt the blade, was brilliant silver that even looked deadly. The second sword was named Kyouko (strength) the blade was also brilliant silver while the hilt was a deep red in color. Kagome had thanked him and said that at if possible she would find him in the future. She than jumped into the well for the last time enjoying the feel of the blue light that engulfed her.

End Flashback

Kagome now stood at the well house door. All that was left was to walk into the house and tell her family that she could no longer go back and she didn't need go and visit her friends. She wouldn't tell them the whole truth it was too terrible and even she didn't want to know of it.
