Hello! This is NightShade once again. This is a one shot. The usual protocol: I don't own Inuyasha or anyone else.
The End
InuTaisho delivered the fatal blow to Takemaru of Setsuna. The one armed man fell. Fire crackled all around him, the beam holding the roof gave away.
using the deadly sword Sounga, he held off the weight of the burning building. The Dog General caught scent of his mate and newborn fade away.
"oh well, at least Izaiyoi and our pup are alive. Inuyasha, that is a good, strong name for him." pushing the roof off of his broken form, InuTaisho limped out of the inferno behind him. He did not get far. The dying Western Emperor collapsed under a sweet smelling pine. He coughed out a bit of blood.
"damn, my time is drawing near. Heh. Hehehe. If only I could see me now. This broken old dog that I have become." InuTaisho coughed up more blood. He could feel his heart beat slower and slower.
"my vision is fading. I can see them. The soul collectors of Hell. Ugh, nasty little things. Should I use the tenseiga to rid of them? No, let them take my soul." The dog then writhed in pain. Blood loss, fatigue and burns wracked his body. Numbness settled into his form.
"who would have thought that Death's embrace would be warm,, not cold?" smiling at the black figure in front of him, InuTaisho waited for death.
"I'm ready." The shadowed figure nodded.
"I know" Death reached out and place one shadowed hand on his forehead. The Dog General gasped. His soul was gently being pulled from his body. With one last ull, InuTaisho felt himself become disconnected with his now dead form.
"come, InuTaisho. Your ancestors wait. You have fulfilled your duty in this world. Now its time to rest." InuTaisho followed Death to a bright gold light.
"Izaiyoi, you must survive. Live a long life. Live long and well…with Inuyasha." The Great Dog Demon walked towards the light. He smiled.
Death never came late when a good soul has passed on.
