Chapter 1- The Defeat
Nothing but the moonlight could be seen in the sky. Moments later this light was taken over by a blinding blue-purple light. Only to again be replaced by deafening screams seconds later.
"Damnit…" The hanyou, InuYasha cursed. He glanced up, fangs bared at his most prominent enemy. Slowly, InuYasha brought his faithful sword, Tetsuiga, up into the air. "You've got some nerve, but there's one difference about this fight compared to all the others." He growled, through clenched teeth. "Tonight's the night you die." He yelled as he lifted Tetsuiga above his head.
Barely visible under his baboon pelt, Naraku allowed a smirk to form on his lips. "You've attempted many times before. The only one who will die tonight is you, InuYasha." With those words he jumped back, releasing his poison insects towards InuYasha.
The demon slayer, Sango, quickly ran in front of InuYasha. Turning on her heels three times in a circle, she released her boomerang like weapon towards the insects. Yelling as she did. "Hiraikotsu!" Giving the insects no time to react, Hiraikotsu cut directly through them. Sending what seemed like thousands of pieces falling to the ground. As the weapon flew back towards her, all Sango did is raise her right arm up. Effortlessly catching it, holding it behind her back.
"What the hell are you doing? I told you to stay out of this." InuYasha growled, shoving past Sango.
"Maybe so, but still, we're you're friends, and if we want to interfere that's our choice." The monk, Miroku, said, lifting his left hand in front of his chest. His right hand laying over the prayer beads, which made sure his Wind Tunnel was kept shut.
Kagome ran up to InuYasha's side. "That's right InuYasha." She said, resting her hand on his shoulder. "So just accept it, and let us help you finish off Naraku." She muttered, somewhat glaring at him. She reached behind her back, and pulled an arrow from her quiver.
InuYasha scoffed. "Whatever, it's you life…" He muttered, once again raising Tetsuiga above his head. Glaring ahead at Naraku he allowed himself a few minutes to prepare for his attack, which he hoped would end Naraku's life.
"As disgusting as this scene is, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep quiet. That way I'll be able to enjoy the sound of your screams." Naraku said, allowing the wind to blow back the hood of his pelt. Revealing piercing red eyes, raven black locks of hair, and a grin so evil it could send the bravest and strongest of demons running for their lives.
InuYasha growled, "Your words are almost as strong as your attacks. Which is saying something. No matter, you'll be dead in just a few seconds." And with those words, InuYasha finally lowered Tetsuiga with all his force to the ground. "WIND SCAR!" He yelled as he did so.
Seconds later Kagome released her purification arrow towards Naraku. As the arrow attempted to catch up to the bright yellow light heading towards Naraku, it destroying everything in it's path, and hopefully for the group the hanyou Naraku as well.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled as he threw her his staff. She nodded, catching the staff and placing it over Hiraikotsu. Once against spinning around three times, she released the weapon towards Naraku with all her strength. "Hiraikotsu!" She yelled at the same time.
Even someone as evil as Naraku couldn't help but fear for his life all three of the attacks headed directly towards him. Attempting to dodge the attacks the only though going through Naraku's mind was. Defeated by a monk, slayer, miko, and half demon…? Though defeated he was not, yet.
As the first of three attacks hit him, Wind Scar, Naraku could feel it shredding his body in half. Now with nothing but his arms to fend off the second and third attacks, Naraku grew even more fearful for his life.
Scanning the area with his eyes, searching for anything that might get Naraku out if this life-threatening situation. Though, considering the fact that he no longer had use of his legs, since he no longer had them, there was little he could do.
Quickly turning his attention back to the group in front of him, Naraku's eyes widened at the sight of the arrow flying towards him. To the side and somewhat behind the arrow the Hiraikotsu was quickly catching up to the arrow. Almost as though the arrow was waiting for Hiraikotsu to catch up, so that they could hit Naraku at the same time.
To someone observing, all of this would seem to be taking a few seconds, but to Naraku and the group it seemed like forever.
Quickly, almost instinctively InuYasha rushed over to Kagome covering her with his body. In fear, that is this truly was the night that Naraku died, Kagome could get hit with flying debris. He clutched onto her tighter, as though his life depended on it.
Just as quickly as InuYasha had rushed to Kagome, Miroku rushed to Sango. Pushing her off to the side, he to covered her with his body. Of course, a perverted thought crossing his mind, but not once did he think of acting it out.
What seemed like years later, though it was only a few seconds later, the first of the final two attacks finally struck Naraku. Piercing him through the heart, and instead of it staying put, it flew right through him. Taking along with it one of, if not the most important organ in any body. Naraku's heart, though he didn't use it for anything other than staying alive.
As blood splattered what seemed like everywhere, Hiraikotsu finally made it's mark. Considering that he no longer had a heart, all Naraku could do was look ahead with lifeless eyes. Spinning with great force Hiraikotsu completed the three-part task of disposing of Naraku permanently.
As the loud thud of Hiraikotsu colliding with a tree hit InuYasha's ears, he slowly pulled away from Kagome and turned around. "You alright Kagome?" He asked, glancing back at her over his shoulder.
Kagome nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine…" She muttered, glancing over at Sango and Miroku. "What about you guys?" She asked, honestly expecting to hear the sound of flesh hitting flesh as Sango slapped Miroku. But to her surprise no such thing happened.
Sango nodded, though she barely move. "Okay isn't really the word for it." She muttered, attempting to push Miroku away from herself. "Miroku do you mind? I'm having some trouble moving."
Miroku simply shook his head, tightening his grip on her. "Do not fear Sango. I will protect you." He said still holding her close to himself.
Sango rolled her eyes. "The only protecting I need is from you." She said, hitting him over the head with her hand. Stepping to the side quickly, as Miroku raised his hand to his head.
Kagome looked away from them, then searched the near by area for any sign of Naraku's death. Once she spotted her arrow, she let out a small gasp at the sight of her arrow holding Naraku's heart against the tree. Blood dripping down into an already large puddle.
Sango and Miroku both glanced over to see what made Kagome gasp. Only to then immediately turn their attention to Sango's Hiraikotsu. But to their dismay, they saw nothing anywhere around it.
"Not gonna find anything there." InuYasha said walking forward. "You'll be glad to hear this." He paused, kneeling down and wrapping his claws around something that was out of view to the others. "We did it. We killed Naraku." He said, standing and turning to face them.
The only thing, other than InuYasha's unusually large grin, that instantly caught your attention, was the gruesome sight of InuYasha holding up Naraku's decapitated hear. Blood dripping down onto the ground. The once hating eyes, no shut forever with no hope of ever opening.
InuYasha dropped the head to the ground, kicking it off to the side with his foot. His grin never leaving his face, not even for a second. In fact it seemed to be growing larger.
"Did we really?" Sango, Miroku, and Kagome all asked at the same time. All stepping forward towards InuYasha.
InuYasha nodded, walking towards them. "No doubt about it. We killed the bastard. After all of our attempt we finally killed him. We did it." He said for once in what seemed like years allowing joy to mix into his normal tone.
