Well I have finished this little set of silliness… enjoy.
Natural Balance
With Evil Comes Good
Kagome did not pause as the jewel purified in her hand before she called her wish for all in the clearing battling the evil hanyou to hear. "I wish the souls in the Shikon were at peace in the afterlife." The jewel flashed and pulsed in her hand before melting into her hand and disappearing forever. Naraku let out a vicious howl as the inu brothers kept up the assault on his barrier.
"You stupid little bitch!" He screamed out as the earth began to shake below their feet bringing all to a stop. "I will kill you!" For a fisher at Naraku's side a large dragon emerged his black eyes gazing around him as Naraku sent him forward after the miko. In the space of seconds the group recognized Ryukotsusei as he painted the clearing in flames causing them to regroup at the crest of the hill. The long body coiled about Naraku who motioned the dragon after them.
InuYasha turned to Sesshomaru who in turn nodded, they prepared to attack. Ryukotsusei seemed to be looking at them as he opened his jaws and began to speak, "It has been too long Inu, shall we pick up where we last ended?" Before the brothers could question him a roar shook them to the core as a large inu leapt over the collection of tired and injured warriors to battle the dragon.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagome turned to see the lord at her side with his sword slightly lowered. "But if you're here then who…"
"Father." InuYasha stammered taking a step forward. The dragon let out a strangled moan and fell into the ground lifeless once more. Acid burned through him as the Great Dog General turned to look at the group, approaching he morphed in a cloud of swirling youki until he stood before his sons with a broad grin on his handsome face.
"Boys, I never thought I would see this day… and to be alive once more." He clapped their shoulders as Naraku called forth another demon from the fisher to do his dirty work. Kouga limped over and stood with Ginta holding him while Hakkaku moved to check on their underlings. A serpent of green emerged baring his fangs and hissing violently at the survivors. InuTashio turned to defeat the snake but he moved swiftly splitting the group in their evasion of his attack. The serpent reared back to deal a final strike on Kouga as he shoved Ginta out of the way.
"KOUGA!" Kagome screamed. Lightning, moving quickly and when Kagome focused her former admirer was gone. The serpent; obviously unable to form words turned around with a vicious snapping of his jaw as a chuckling began behind them. Turning Kagome found Kouga resting against a tree and ran to him past a man that stood in full ookami regalia. "Are you alright?"
"Now that you're here I'm feeling fine." Kouga coughed trying to smile for the shaken miko. The serpent moved toward them to strike only to have his fangs caught by the ookami standing with the survivors.
"Katsuro you showoff!" InuTashio bellowed across the field as the wolf gave a charming grin and snapped the fangs from the serpents mouth embedding them into the skull before kicking him away from the hilltop. Turning the cocky wolf waved to the dog general before turning to look across the field. Naraku had reached his wits end, every time the dead came to his aid a new enemy would arrive and destroy them.
"I have one more dose before I am depleted…" He watched as the large mass of demons thinking as one emerged. Kagome came to the crest and watched as the creature zoned in on her and licked its lips. "I will take you down with me you little bitch!" Kagome watched as the others were frozen in place unable to move as they desperately screamed for her to use her bow.
'Where did my bow go?' She turned to see an arrow sail overhead and implant in the demon's head shredding it into pieces that rained down on all in the clearing. From the woods a tall black haired woman emerged, her deep brown eyes sweeping over the two adult demons and the group of survivors watching her as Naraku screamed into the clouds once more. She pulled the string taught and condensed her energy into the form of an arrow.
"Join them in hell Naraku." She snapped releasing the cord, all eyes watched the arrow sail true and with a flash of light the fisher closed swallowing Naraku with the bodies of the others in his employ. Handing the bow back the warrior miko turned as the two adult demons began to argue in the space between the divided group. Turning to the small miko at her side Midoriko chuckled. "It's best to avoid the canine species as much as possible kid." Said demons turned and approached her, both shoving one another and gaining speed as they went. Kagome stepped away as Kouga gained his footing and stood with her and Sesshomaru to watch. The others moved closer, trying to figure out what was happening.
"Midoriko my sweet," InuTashio said reaching for her only to have her swooped off her feet by Katsuro and spun around. "Damn wolf!"
"I had my eye on her first lap dog." He snapped nuzzling Midoriko's throat. "I'm happy we are alive again, now I don't have to share." He grinned setting her on her feet once more. She shoved him away and turned to the group clearing her throat.
"I bet the question running through your minds is where did we come from and how are we alive." The survivors nodded silently watching the two former lords begin to jab each other in the ribs and punch at each others faces. "When Naraku opened the underworld with his magic he released evil into the world, and with that magic evil also brings good to balance it out in the world. We have defeated the evil and so we remain once more breathing and living before you… although I might kill them in a few seconds if they keep fighting." The lords froze watching Midoriko glance over her shoulder.
"Father?" InuYasha took a small step forward. "Were you with mom?"
"No, your mother, she really loved another in life… and I let her have that happiness in the afterlife. I had to wait around on this beauty anyway." InuTashio grinned wrapping an arm about Midoriko's waist.
"I was waiting too jackass." Katsuro said draping an arm over her shoulders and kissing the miko's jaw. "It's been a while Kouga, how have you been?"
"A hell of a lot better." The ookami grinned at the wolf. "I take it mom moved on too?"
"You got it, she always was hung up on that gray from the north." He shrugged. "Mated yet, boy?"
"Well soon as Kagome here accepts…" The young prince said turning his ice blue eyes to the miko. "Kind of reminds me of what you two have goin' on… InuTrasha and me pining after the same female."
"I don't like Kagome like that." InuYasha turned his attention to Sesshomaru who stood close to the miko just as the wolf did. "But you do have an inu rival…"
"Ha! Ice for brains?" Kouga laughed holding his injured arm close to his ribs. "Yeah right."
"Do not count this Sesshomaru out wolf." Midoriko slapped her forehead and drug her hand down her face opening her eyes to look at the blushing miko before her.
"I'm sorry you have to deal with this too…" She sighed shrugging out of their arms and grabbing the miko and motioning the slayer with them and they left the clearing with two giddy children prancing after them. The demons stood glaring; lord to lord and youth to youth, both sets looking identical. Miroku turned, shaking his head and left after the women with the wolf boys and Kohaku.
