I don't own Inuyasha. I wouldn't mind it though xD

I'd just like to say, this is my first fan-fiction and I know it's not that good, but I'm still trying to improve.

The long inevitable time for the battle had finally fallen upon them. They were going to get rid of the threat that had bothered them for such a long time. They were at last going to get revenge on the one creature that had brought the world so much destruction. So much pain.

Hunting him for three long years, was more than enough. Even though the journey to reach the last battle was interesting, it had to end. Each person had a score to settle with Naraku.

The battle had started many hours ago at noon. Everyone from the shard hunting group to Kikyou and Kouga were there. The fight took place on flat ground, somewhere deep within Inuyasha's forest. The sun had begun to set already and the darkness was soon going to set in. The forest was still and surrounded them all around, except one side. On that very direction was a cliff leading to a sharp death if anyone fell.

At the moment all you could hear was the clashing of swords, and crys of the fallen. The air was tense, afterall, this was their last battle.

Naraku had brought a massive army with him. Before he would battle them, he wanted to weaken them. Too bad for him, the group was almost done getting rid of the demons. It seemed as if Naraku's thousands of demons had not even gotten them a little tired.

Each person used their special skills to contribute to the upcoming downfall of Naraku. Inuyasha would use Tetsusaiga to get rid of any demon that got in his way. Over the years he had learned how to wield it, and now it seemed like it was a part of him, as if it was just another of his limbs. He would fight effortlessly with his sword by his side. Coming to the aid of anyone when he was needed.

Sango and Miroku were fighting together. The backs pressed against the others just in case someone tried to attack when they weren't aware. Sango would use her Hirakotsu to kill any demon that thought they would escape her. The huge weapon would destroy anything in its way. The monk, on the other hand, used his curse to his advantage. He'd take off the holy beads from his hand, and use the wind-tunnel, drawing in an array of youkai.

Kouga had brought his pack of wolves for this final battle. The shard-hunters were not expecting him to be there, but it turned out luck was on their side, and Kouga was going to join them in this battle. There was about one-hundred wolfs accompanying Kouga. They wanted nothing more than getting revenge on Naraku. He had killed their brothers, and for the very fact, he needed to suffer.

Then there was Kikyou and Kagome. The original, and the reincarnation. They looked so much alike, yet they were so different. While Kikyou fought with skill, and killed anything in her path, Kagome was much different. She put her heart and soul into it. She put all her effort, and with that she was thriving in the battle. While Kikyou was fighting for revenge only, Kagome was fighting for everyone. For all the deaths caused by Naraku, for all the pain suffered, for every horrible act he had done.

There was sheets of red everywhere, but the blood mostly belonged to Naraku's demons. The shard-hunters carried bruises on themselves, but that did little to stop them. Whenever all you wanted to do was kill the bastard that caused so much pain to you, nothing could stop you.

Even though the group was outnumbered, they were doing much better than expected. That was until the actual Naraku showed up.

He had increased in size. More massive than anyone could imagine him to be. He still had his original tentacles sticking out from the lower half of his body, while his upper body looked like a normal humans. His long, black hair reached mid-back, adding to the imagine of a villain. His armor that he wore on his upper-body had star-shaped symbols on it. And in his hand, he held a sword just as big as Inuyasha's, but this weapon was different, . It had a strong aura of evil emitting from it. Kagome was getting chills just looking at it.

The wind had picked up, making him look more intense and powerful then ever. And at that very moment, he looked much like a god.

"Half-bread, it seems you have survived longer than I expected you to."

Everyone froze. They were surprised to see Naraku so early in battle.

Kagome would never admit to this, but at the moment she was very frightened from him. She didn't know the outcome of the battle, but she did know one thing. This was the last battle, and someone was going to die.

"It's time to put an end to this."

With that last comment, Inuyasha and Naraku started battling each other. Inuyasha would try to strike Naraku down with his sword, but Naraku would keep on putting up a barrier to defend himself. Whenever Inuyasha though he had the upper-hand, Naraku would start attacking him with his tentacles, causing Inuyasha's clothing to turn into an even darker shade of red.

There was a frighting moment in battle when Naraku used his miasma causing Inuyasha's vision to become blurry. At that moment, when Inuyasha was having trouble finding him, Naraku tried to strike Inuyasha with one quite large tentacle. Thankfully, Inuyasha saw it at the last second and managed to move. He was only left with a cut on his side, which was much better than a hole in his body. Yet, what was very surprising about the tentacle that Naraku had used to strike against Inuyasha, was that it kept going. That was when Inuyasha figured it out. The tentacle wasn't meant for him. It was meant for someone else.

By the time he realized this, Naraku already had his tentacles around Kikyou's neck. It seemed as if Naraku was going to fight dirty.

The fury within Inuyasha was slowly beginning to erupt. The battle was between them, and now Naraku was going to use Kikyou against him.

"Let go of her!"

"Inuyasha who will you chose?" Naraku's laugh could be heard from miles away.

"What do you mean? Choose between what?" Inuyasha asked with malice in his voice.

Naraku's smile grew even wider. "Ha! So you haven't noticed, have you? Well, take a look around and tell me if you see something in particular that I might be talking about."

"What can Naraku mean? No, it can't be... can it?" Inuyasha was talking more to himself than anyone else.

The only other important thing Naraku could be talking about was Kagome. That same time, Inuyasha's eyes frantically started searching for Kagome or any signs of her.

The same second he found her, she was surrounded my demons and being pushed closer and closer to the edge of the cliff.

Before he could help it, her name slipped out of his mouth.

That was a very dumb mistake Inuyasha made. The second Kagome heard her voice being called, she turned her attention towards the person who called it. Due to her lack of attention, she didn't notice the demons getting closer to her. When she did look forward, the only thing she saw was the glare of the snake demon that stood in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the demon attacked her.

Luckily before Kagome could fully fall off, she grabbed onto the edge and now she was hanging off the edge of the cliff. She couldn't let go even if her hands were slipping. No she wouldn't let go, after-all it was the only thing separating her from life and death.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. She knew he would help her. He was always there when she needed him.

Everything was working out as Naraku had planned. "It's time for you to make a choice. You don't have enough time to save both of them. Who are you going to choose, Inuyasha?"

Naraku did make a good point. Who was he going to choose?

At first I was going to make this a long one-shot, but then I decided to separate it into two chapters. Please leave reviews if you can any-kind is welcome. I'll try to update the next chapter within a week. I know my descriptions suck, so once I finish the next chapter I'll come back to this one and rewrite it. (incase anyone noticed, I took out the poem from the beginning. It just didn't belong in the story as of yet.)
