This isn't exactly one of my type of stories, but I'm giving it a shot. So I hope you guys enjoy it! 3... 2...1... Let's Jam!
Prologue:
They had finally found Naraku, and knew that this was the battle of all battles. After tracing him for so long did they know he had more jewel shards than them. Yet they all had heart and would go into this battle for only one outcome. To rid the world of Naraku and save what was left of the world that he had corrupted.
Before entering this dreaded battle, had they all gone off into separate little groups. Miroku and Sango in one, to finally pledge to each other the fact that they truly loved each other. Shippo and Kiara in another, to give each other comfort. Then InuYasha and Kagome, who needed time to come to an understanding between the two of them.
Kagome stared up at InuYasha with her big brown eyes before taking a step towards him, her hands reaching out towards his to only be caught in them. Taking a deep shuddering breath did she rest her head against his chest, not caring what the outcome would be of this battle just as long as she had this moment with him. InuYasha gazed down at her with his golden eyes in deep debating, as to fact that she had loved him for so long.
"InuYasha..."Kagome murmured up at him. InuYasha j gave off a "feh" and hugged her close. Kagome reached up for his face and smiled, "There's something I want to do for you before we go into battle." InuYasha tilted his head down at her.
"What?"He asked in a befuddled voice. Smiling she grabbed his prayer beads around his neck, muttering a few words, she lifted them up from around his head and held them close. InuYasha stared at her in astonishment, for he wasn't expecting her to take the necklace off. Kagome gave him a smile, "Well aren't you going to say something?"
InuYasha shook his head, sending his silver locks scattering around his head. He gave her another hug, smothering her in his grasp before giving her a gentle kiss, "Thank you.. Kagome." A blush was effusing her face as she hugged him back, nodding in response to his actually kind words. Snuggling a bit closer to him she looked up at him again, and touched the side of his face, "InuYasha... We're going to have to all go sometime.. For if we don't get this over with, then Naraku's power still hangs in the balance of ruling all of Japan." A shadow moved behind InuYasha's eyes, but she wasn't sure if she even saw it for he just nodded down at her. Releasing her did he at least hold her hand in his as he yelled out at all of them that they where going.
Sango is already prepared for battle dressed up in her traditional Taijiya armor, and of course holding onto her Hiraikotsu. Miroku standing right next to her, and of course wearing his Buddhist Priest outfit, while holding his Shakujou in left hand, for the right still remained cursed with the Kazaana. Kiara is transformed into her full Neko Fire Cat form, and is standing beside Sango. While Shippo, still cute as ever, sat on Kiara's back, waiting for them to leave to their impeding battle. Looking at all of them, InuYasha smirked, kneeling he waited until Kagome climbed onto his back for quickly jumping out into the lead, heading straight for Naraku's castle. While the rest of the group followed, heading towards what could be their very deaths.
They traveled threw half of the day to stop when encountering a barrier. InuYasha looked up at the barrier before drawing the Tetsusaiga making it transform into it's greatest form. Holding it in his hands he made the blade of the sword turn a deep red, jumping up into the air he yelled, "Kongosoha!" Bringing Tetsusaiga down to cut threw the barrier. Everyone quickly got threw the barrier before it resealed itself up again. Sheathing the Tetsusaiga InuYasha quickly move out towards Naraku's castle with Kagome still upon his back.
The awareness of getting closer to Naraku filled threw out InuYasha, for the closer they got the stronger the smell of him enabled InuYasha's senses. Growling in spite of everything he jumped into the air and saw the castle before him. Landing in front of the castle he set Kagome down who quickly drew out her bow and notched an arrow. InuYasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and stood before her as his right should be since he is her guardian. Just then the others arrived. Miroku quickly running up next to Kagome, while Sango went next to InuYasha. Kiara stood afloat above Kagome, while Shippo stayed on Kiara's back. All where tense as they waited for Naraku, who finally came out of his castle flanked by his reincarnations and Kohaku. Sango of course stared at Kohaku's form, for after all that is her younger brother. Naraku smirked at them from under his baboon cloak.
"InuYasha I see you have finally arrived, but you can leave now or otherwise face your death!"Naraku sneered towards him. InuYasha puffed out his chest and got down in a fighting crouch, "Bastard! You will die! And I am never going to run from the likes of you!" Naraku beckoned to his reincarnations and Kohaku, all of them moving forward. Kohaku heading straight towards Sango, and her heading straight towards him, where they became locked deeply in battle. While Kanna went for Miroku who walked a bit towards them, ready for the battle that would commence between the two. Moryomaru, who is basically Akago went for Kagome, since Yoki attacks can't kill him for he absorbs them. Byakuya headed towards InuYasha, for he was the most powerful reincarnation of them all.
InuYasha quickly jumped forward towards Byakuya, but Byakuya quickly made his illusions of himself spreading them all about. Forcing InuYasha to attack all of the illusions trying to find the real one. Adding more to the illusion he made them move so he could sneak up behind him for his own simple attacks, yet all of the illusions seemed to be attacking him too.
Kagome kept shooting off purified arrows at Moryomaru while moving away from him. For it seemed Moryomaru had stored up some Yoki attacks and where using them against her. Making Kagome have to use knowledge over past battles to try to evade his attacks.
Miroku had to keep throwing Ofuda's at Kanna's mirror, to try and despair the attacks against him. While Kanna seemed to keep floating towards him with her mirror held in her hands. Using her own magic would the Ofuda's wear off and allow her to use her mirror again.
Sango and Kohaku where locked in a deep battle. For Sango kept trying to get threw him to him, he would attack with his Kusarikama making Sango have to block with her Hiraikotsu. Blocking it she quickly moved forward trying to get him off his feet with her Hiraikotsu to only miss and have to dodge again.
At that moment, Sesshoumaru, Jaken, Koga, Hakkaku, Ginta, and any other demons that felt obligated to help out the little group of shard hunters appeared. Koga quickly moved InuYasha out of the way and began getting rid of the illusions with the help off Hakkaku and Ginta. Jaken went to go help Miroku. Kiara and Shippo where still over Kagome to save her if the need be. Sesshoumaru beckoned to InuYasha, and both of them went straight towards Naraku who knew this was coming. Now a Yoki, Naraku gave them some trouble. Yet the combination of Toukijin and Tetsusaiga would give him a run for his money. The others continued on fighting, the other demons soon joining in. Until none of the reincarnations where alive.
There where risks though, many of the demons who had come where dead, others injured and unable to gone in the fight. Even the shard hunter companions where injured, Sango had been hit with Kohaku's Kusarikama, Miroku had been hit by a wondering attack in the leg, Shippo had been knocked out into a tree, and Kiara had been poisoned. Out of the main demons, Koga, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Jaken where all out of this battle, they where all gravely damaged to even move. Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha where all that was left who could defeat Naraku. They all seemed weary and tired, while Naraku looked like he had been barely scratched.
InuYasha quickly moved forward, little whirlwinds surrounding his sword until he unleashed, "Bakuryuu!" This technique being his greatest, sending whirlwinds straight towards Naraku, hoping to render him apart. It didn't, but it did make him weaken a bit. Sesshoumaru quickly jumped forward and used Toukijin against him, inflicting even more wounds and weakening him a bit farther. Kagome notched an arrow, and sent a purifying arrow flying straight towards Naraku, to make miasma spout out of his body from the deep ingraining damage she had done. Naraku quickly retaliated using his Yoki sending inflicting damage upon Kagome, yet it hit InuYasha who jumped in front of her to save her from the killing blow.
InuYasha fell hard to the ground, the Tetsusaiga transforming back into it's original form, and looked like a rusty sword. InuYasha is gasping for breath as he stared at Naraku. Kagome ran to his side and cradled his head in her lap, "InuYasha!" He looked up at her with golden eyes, a small smile on his face. "Get up InuYasha! Get up!"Kagome screamed down at him as tears streamed down her face. Yet he wouldn't, closing his eyes he fell into a deep sleep of a coma. Kagome screamed down at him, tears flowing down her face, for she believed InuYasha to be lost to her then. His blood still flowing from his deep engraved wounds.
Naraku laughed at the damage he had done, and turned to attack Sesshoumaru. Who went on the defense yet attacked once in awhile when he had the chance. One attack sent him flying, making him see two.
That of course waking Kagome from her stupor of grief, standing up she stared at Naraku. A foe she knew she probably had no chance of defeating. Notching another arrow, she sent it into him as it purifying light blinding hit him in the chest and sunk deep until coming out the back. Making Naraku become engulfed in his own miasma, which sent him into a rage. Growling he turned and sent another attack at Kagome, to only have Sesshoumaru block it this time. Burning his only arm and sending him flying, upon hitting the ground he became knocked unconscious from the shock and pain flowing throughout his body.
That sent Kagome into a rage unseen before. Her body became engulfed in a pink aura, her hair cascading around her head, while her eyes where like slits of pink. The aura transforming her bow into that of a true miko, like that of Midoriko, her arrows transforming into those used for long bows. Glaring at Naraku she notched another arrow, and sent it flying straight towards where Naraku should have a heart. Yet it was blinding of purifying aura, like that of a sunset, and went straight threw Naraku sending the whole entire area and that surrounding it, into an immense pink aura. When everything went back to normal, Kagome is upon the ground, and had adorned a mark on her forehead, one that disappeared, yet marked her as a powerful Miko. The fact that Naraku is no where on this Earth, for he was dead finally and the world had been banished of his evil ways and could now prosper into what it would look like in Kagome's time. While the rest of the Shikkon No Tama became one, and rolled towards Kagome to fall into her open palm, her hand closing around it, and making it pure.
Chapter 1
Kagome awoke to find herself wrapped up in her sleeping bag, but she didn't remember ever getting into her sleeping bag or for that matter being at camp. Sitting up she looked around to find Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta attending the wounded. Including Sesshoumaru who still had awakened, his only arm wrapped up in a bunch of bandages. Looking to her side she saw InuYasha wrapped up in bandages to, yet it seemed it wasn't doing anything for him. Slowly getting up she saw Kiara peacefully laying down, with Shippo asleep against her. A little bit to her left Sango and Miroku where asleep next to each other. Surrounding all of them where various different species of demons who where also being attended to.
Stretching she made rounds to all of them, making sure that there bandages where tight the bleeding stopped, and so on and so forth. When she got to InuYasha she realized that he might not make it threw the night. He had lost a lot of blood, and was by far a shade to pale, plus the wounds where red around the edges, making it known they where infected. Touching his forward she felt the fact that he had a fever, and was burning up yet farther. Looking up she met the gaze of Koga who had just now noticed that she was up.
"How is he?"Koga asked in a quiet voice. Kagome's eyes opened wide, for he was actually asking how InuYasha is, shaking her head she sighed, "He's not doing to well. His wounds are infected and he has a high fever." Koga nodded, and rested a hand on her shoulder giving her a small smile, "Don't worry he'll make it with you caring for him. After all you did defeat Naraku." Smiling up at him, she watched as Koga left her side and headed towards one of his own kind who needed treatment. Shaking her head she stared down at InuYasha and put her hand to his cheek, "Oh InuYasha.. Please be alright.." Getting up she looked for her yellow backpack and quickly found it, grabbing it she went back to InuYasha's side.
The fire had gone out, sighing she looked at, "Ginta? Is it Ginta" When she saw him nod she gave him a huge smile, "Would you please get the fire started again. Thank you!" Ginta gave her a smile of his own before doing her bidding, when he realized what he was doing he sighed. Seeing that a fire was going she quickly got out a pot and put some herbs in there that would help fight the infection and help InuYasha heal faster. Grabbing her water bottle she dumped the whole entire thing in there. Grabbing a tool that would crush the herbs, she quickly crushed them and scrambled them around the pot, to only put it next to the fire.
Turning back to InuYasha she quickly ripped off his fire rat kimono, and only leaving on his pants for she wasn't going to do anything down there. Grabbing another one of her water bottles, a towel, and some soap, she cleansed his wounds hoping to get all the dirt out this time. Grabbing the pot she spread the herbs over his wounds and then wrapped his wounds up in fresh bandages. Sighing she grabbed a spare blanket and threw it over him. Moving on she went over to Sesshoumaru and took a look at his arm, to see that it is rapidly healing. About to re-bandage it Sesshoumaru snapped open his eyes and stared at her, before groaning as his arm hurt.
"Sesshoumaru-Sama.. I.."
"Wench, don't worry about my arm it is healing. But where is Rin?"
"Sesshoumaru-Sama Rin isn't here. Or at least from what I know she isn't.."
Sesshoumaru growled and tried to get up, to only feel Kagome push him back down. "Sesshoumaru-Sama I'll go find her with Kiara. For you're still considered wounded even though your wounds are healing. So please stay here.." Sesshoumaru's eyes had a shadow move threw them, before he nodded at her and turned his gaze away from her. Kagome smiled as she got up and turned her head towards Hakkaku who is close to her, "Hakkaku, tell Koga I am going to go get a little girl named Rin. Tell him to look after InuYasha for me please!" Turning she grabbed her bow and arrows to only see something shining in her sleeping bag, to see that it was the Shikkon No Tama, grabbing it she put it down her blouse. Shaking her head she went to go get Kiara and woke her up, "Kiara would you help me find Rin?" Kiara yawned up at her but nodded all the same.
Standing Kiara transformed into a Neko Fire Cat, grabbing Shippo by the scruff she put him next to Sango. Turning her head she nodded at Kagome to get on her back, who quickly jumped on. Kiara gave a vast roar before jumping up into the skies, helping Kagome look for Rin. "Maybe I should have asked him what area Rin is at.."Kagome muttered out to no one in particular when they have been looking for her for over thirty minutes.
Kiara rolled her eyes, before she smelled something familiar. Giving off a roar she turned, scaring Kagome to cling onto her more. Yet Kagome noticed why Kiara is heading down there, for she could spot the little girl now. "Rin! Rin! Come out here, we're going to take you to Sesshoumaru-Sama!" Kagome yelled down at her.
Rin looked up at them in surprise with her big brown eyes, yet a huge smile came upon her face with recognition. Running out to meet them she quickly sprang into Kagome's arms who boosted her up onto Kiara and sat her down in front of her. Rin turned and smiled up at Kagome.
"Where is Lord Sesshoumaru?"Rin asked eagerly. Kagome gave her a huge smile, "Back at camp and he was asking for you." Rin j squealed in excitement, "Did you guys defeat that evil person?" Kagome quirked a brow before nodding, "Yes, we defeated Naraku." Rin bobbed her head up and down, before bestowing another smile upon Kagome. Kagome chuckled, and held her close tp herself.
Like Shippo, Rin was also like her child. Her sweet little girl who seemed so innocent and sweet, and taunted the world by smiling almost all the time. Sighing she rested her head on top of hers, not wanting to really think about what could have happened to InuYasha or anyone else while she was gone. Rin curled up against her and fell asleep, a gentle smile on her face. Kiara landed down on the spot that she had been sleeping earlier and turned and regarded Kagome.
Kagome gave her a smile before getting off her back and then taking Rin into her arms. Kiara licked her face before transforming back into a cat, and curled up into a ball and went back to sleep.
Turning from her, she quickly walk over to Sesshoumaru and sat Rin down next to him. Who quickly curled up against him, and sighed. Kagome smiled down at the scene before she noticed that Sesshoumaru is staring at her with his golden eyes, almost like glaring. She waved at him before heading back over to InuYasha who was sleeping peacefully and didn't have a fever anymore. With a huge sigh she shook her head, to only remember the Shikkon No Tama.
Reaching down into her blouse she pulled it out and stared down into his prestige form. This thing had caused so much trouble for so many people, looking up at the sky she really wondered if she made a wish that it could make her friends lives better and some. Smiling in spite of everything she closed her eyes and went to climb back into her sleeping bag, to only fall into a deep sleep.
They had all stayed there for two weeks, everyone healing including InuYasha who was as grouchy as ever for staying in the same place for more than three days. When they finally left everyone became a bit more happy. The group had expanded for at least this one trip, since Koga, Hakkaku, Ginta, Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Jaken. They where all coming to Kaede's village at the insistence of Kagome. Though she wouldn't admit it, she had a wish in mind to ask the Shikkon No Tama.
They seemed to get along pretty well. For Hakkaku and Ginta followed Koga's instructions without comment. Koga and InuYasha where still fighting. Sesshoumaru kept walking all over Jaken, and Rin still followed Sesshoumaru. Miroku is still a perverted monk and groped Sango, to only get hit with the Hiraikotsu. Shippo and InuYasha argued with each other to. Well Kagome remained the supporter with smiles and everything.
When they finally arrived at Kaede's village everyone let out an explosive breath, except for Sesshoumaru of course. Shippo ran on ahead with Kiara while Miroku and Sango walked hand in hand towards the village. Koga headed towards the forest with Hakkaku and Ginta in tow. Sesshoumaru stood aloof and also headed toward the village, Jaken following along with Rin tagging along behind him.
InuYasha looked down at Kagome and took her hand in his, she smiled up at him. Heading down towards the village hand in hand, a lot of children run up to them giving Kagome flowers and huge smiles. InuYasha would glare at them, but they all knew to ignore him. Shaking his head and muttering under his breath he practically dragged Kagome to Kaede's hut. Kaede looked up at them and smiled.
"I see that ye are successful."Kaede murmured. Kagome gave her a huge smile, "Yes, we where. But many demons died helping us. I feel sorry for the loss of their lives." Kaede raised her brows, "What demons do ye speak of?" InuYasha cut Kagome off then and told her every single demon that was there that he could remember, Kagome adding a comment or two to some of the demons. Kaede nodded, "Ah.. I see. Is the Shikkon No Tama one again?" Kagome nodded, pulled the necklace out, for she had put the jewel on it later on, "Here it is." Kaede smiled in relief. InuYasha stared at it, and shook his head.
The sad thing was, before the wish could even be cast. InuYasha had truly chosen who he was going to be with, he had chosen Kikyo. Who kept clouding his mind about becoming a full demon and bringing her back to life. InuYasha had taken this all in as a dope.
The day of reckoning came though, for Kagome announced that everyone should go out to InuYasha's Forest, for she was going to make the wish and she wanted everyone present. She wanted witness to the fact that the wish had been made, and she wanted to see if it came true. Yet InuYasha reached out and grabbed her arm, and stared at her.
Kagome stared up at him and gave him one of her stunning smiles, "What's wrong InuYasha." InuYasha looked away his eyes where shadowed and his face wasn't showing how he was feeling, "Kagome... Give me the Shikkon No Tama.." Kagome's eyes widened before she winked at him, "Stop messing around InuYasha." His grip tightened on her arm, "Kagome give me the Shikkon No Tama now!"
She tried to get him off of her, even bringing up her other hand to try and hit him to only have it caught in his free hand. Glaring at him she struggled even more, "Let me go InuYasha!" Miroku stepped forward, but was kicked straight in the face from InuYasha. "Get back and stay back! Until Kagome gives me the Shikkon No Tama then stay back or face death!"InuYasha yelled at all of them. He wasn't expecting Kagome's aura to flare just then making him let go as his hands burned with her purifying powers. Kagome quickly backed away from him.
InuYasha turned towards her his eyes tiny slits of gold, "You bitch!" He lunged towards her his right claw out stretched, "Sankou Tetsusou (A/N: Iron Reave Soul Stealer)!" Kagome screamed.
Luckily Koga pushed her out of the way and took the brunt of the attack, and without the shards he couldn't even dodge fast enough out of the way. Koga fell to the ground bleeding, for the Sankou Tetsusou could do some serious damage, especially being hit straight in the chest. Hakkaku and Ginta attacked InuYasha at seeing their leader injured, to only be hit with the same attack.
"Sankou Tetsusou!"
They fell a few feet away from their leader bleeding from their own extensive wounds. Making Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu, and went to go stand in front of Kagome. Miroku still upset that he had been kicked walked over to stand next to Sango, holding his Shakujou in his left hand. Kiara transformed into a full Neko Fire Cat roaring at InuYasha, while Shippo merely clambered onto her back glaring at InuYasha with pure hate. Sesshoumaru watched from the sidelines with amusement in his eyes, while Rin hid behind him and Jaken stood by his side.
InuYasha glared at them all as he drew his Tetsusaiga, "Since you won't give me the Shikkon No Tama! Looks like I shall have to kill you bastards!" Standing there he made a deep aura around him appear so he could create the Kaze no Kizu (A/N: Wind Scar). Sesshoumaru noticed this, and knew that Rin is also in fire range for that attack. Grabbing Toukijin from it's sheath he quickly jumped forward and attacked InuYasha, quickly making him have to defend himself. Glaring at InuYasha they quickly began to fight a duel to the death.
Kagome watched all of this as tears fell down her pale face. For in truth she knew why InuYasha wanted the Shikon No Tama. So he could become a full demon and revive the one he had truly chosen, Kikyo. Choking on sobs she stepped forward, her aura once again surrounding her form as a bow came to hands an arrow already notched, aiming it towards InuYasha. Choking on her last tear for him she let it free, and watched as the purified arrow went threw his chest just like Kikyo's arrow had and pinned him to the God Tree, setting the exact same curse on him.
With a grim look on her tear stained face she lead them all out there, gently holding the Shikkon No Tama in between her hands. Reaching InuYasha Forest, the rest of the group and wounded spread out all around her, waiting and watching to see what would happen.
Kagome looked down upon the Shikkon No Tama, before looking around at the people who surrounded her. These people had helped them out or had actually been apart of the group one way or another. With a small sad smile on her face, she closed her eyes.
"Shikkon No Tama, I ask of you to fulfil a wish. A wish to give peace and happiness to those who have either helped us in one way or another at collecting the shards and defeating Naraku. Please grant my wish."Kagome murmured down to the Shikkon No Tama.
"Is this wish unselfish of thee?"A quiet feminine voice asked.
"This is wish is selfish!"An angered voice of a deep baritone roared out.
"This wish is unselfish, for this wish is not for me. The ones I call friends, saviors, guardians or whatever you want to call them."Kagome replied in kind.
"This wish seemeth unselfish. I grant it, but my other half must agree to."The feminine voice answered first yet again.
"If I grant that this wish is unselfish, will we finally be free Midoriko?"The deep baritone voice asked.
"It would seem we shall be free, if you grant it."Midoriko answered him.
"I grant it unselfish then!"Roared the demon.
Making the Shikkon No Tama glow a bright pink in aura, drawing Kagome's own Miko aura out yet again. Both of them combined seeming to crackle around her sending out little shocks. The others stared in shock, for this was something never seen before. The Shikkon No Tama finally sent out little arrows of the aura hitting those that she was thinking of with this wish. Making peace and true happiness reach them, and even putting the whole world at peace.
Once everyone she had thought of had been hit had both auras diminished until only one remained, Kagome's who is fiercer than ever. Before the Shikon No Tama's aura diminished around her form, some changes were also made to her. Making her change into that of an Inu Taiyoukai, a mark of a rose appearing on her forehead with what appeared to be a Shikon No Tama in the middle being stabbed by the thorns. While light marks adorned her face, wrists, legs, and ankles. To only appear when her power was forced out or when her human mask disappeared to reveal another form.
The Shikkon No Tama then floated out of her hands and went straight up into the sky disappearing out in the emptiness of space.
Kagome's eyes shot open at this point her aura slowly diminishing until it disappeared back inside her along with everything that had shown her transformation. Gasping for breath she looked around her, seeing something that made her smile grow bigger. She fainted then hitting the ground with a resounding thud.
Sesshoumaru was the first to recover from the shock and stared down at Kagome. Closing his deep golden eyes for a moment, he opened them then and quietly walked forward not even realizing that he had his other arm back. Kneeling down next to her he gently took her into his arms, standing he stared at those surrounding the both of them. Keeping his cool demeanor of a mask he walked past all, while Rin and Jaken followed behind him as he left InuYasha's Forest and went straight towards the village. Heading towards Kaede's hut where she would be able to take care of the woman.
Yet while she was being held in his arms. Was Lord Sesshoumaru feeling something deep inside him stir. Something that he had never known he had inside of him. His blood beast at least calmed it, for he would never lose his control, especially to a mere human.
Well that's it for this chapter! It took me forever to write this, yet I finally finished it! Isn't marvelous? Well I hoped you guys like it. There shall be more next chapter.
