Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Bleach.
The Mystery Soul- Is This The End?
Update: Was annoyed by my past self so I fixed this chapter a bit.
-Now-
Inuyasha's group were locked in fierce combat with their mortal enemy, Naraku.
The fight had been going on for the past two hours and our heroes have gotten nowhere in the fight.
Inuyasha had an idea, but he didn't like it.
"Kagome! I need you to run and get help. We can hold him off in the mean time." Inuyasha said.
"Are you CRAZY? He'll kill you before I can get back!" Kagome yelled at him.
A giant tentacle of Naraku's fell between them.
"And if you don't there is a great chance of us all dying! Now GO!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You better be alive when I get back!" Kagome yelled as she ran.
"I promise!" Inuyasha yelled as he saw Kagome flee.
Now left standing are Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara.
"NARAKU! TONIGHT ONE OF US SHALL DIE! IT'S ME OR YOU!" Inuyasha yelled as he charged.
Many tentacles aimed at the charging half-demon.
The appendages were cut off by a certain demon huntress.
"Inuyasha! We have your back get Naraku!" Sango said.
Shippo jumped from behind and threw fire at a random demon.
"FOX FIRE!" Shippo yelled.
"Go!" Shippo said as he tried helping Sango.
Inuyasha nodded then continued to the evil half-demon.
As Inuyasha ran memories of his past flooded his mind.
-memory one-
Kikyo held her side after she had sealed Inuyasha to the tree.
"Inuyasha...you traitor!" She yelled.
-memory two-
Inuyasha was holding Sango from stabbing Kohaku.
"Sango! Snap out of it!" Inuyasha yelled.
"NO! HE HAS MY BROTHER AND HE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT!" Sango yelled.
-memory three-
"Ow! Inuyasha you meanie!" Shippo yelled as he rubbed his head.
"Well maybe you shouldn't go around being annoying!" Inuyasha hollered.
"WAHH! KAGOME! INUYASHA IS BEING MEAN TO ME!" Shippo cried.
"Ah, crap." Inuyasha thought.
-memory four-
Koga appears from a tornado.
"Kagome my dear." Koga says.
"BACK OFF WOLF!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Bring it on mutt!" Koga retorted.
-memory five-
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha..."
The two held each other as the moon lit the night and the stars looked down upon them.
-end flashbacks-
"inu...yaaasha...inuy...asha...INUYASHA!" Miroku yelled.
Inuyasha shakes himself from the daze.
""What are you doing Inuyasha? Go finish him off!" Miroku demanded.
Inuyasha nodded as he continued his charged towards Naraku.
That is when he arrived at his destination.
He stood outside of what appeared to be a normal looking house.
"Naraku...I know you're in there...come out and fight me...NOW!" Inuyasha demanded.
A purple haze spews from the house as swarms of bees follow the mist.
"Inuyasha. You arrive, at last." Naraku said as he body began forming from the mist.
"Today you die Naraku." Inuyasha said as he readied his sword.
"Perhaps, or it's the day I rid the world of your filth!" Naraku said as his body became that of an octopus.
Naraku launches tentacles flying toward Inuyasha.
Inuyasha charges and slices the tentacles away.
As Inuyasha gets closer to him, Naraku surrounds himself with his mist.
Inuyasha is forced to back off or risk becoming poisoned.
"Shit! Myoga isn't here! I can't press my luck." Inuyasha thought.
"What's the matter? Can't take the miasma? Then stay out of my way." Naraku laughed.
"Think that's funny? Well then you'll choke on this! WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha roared.
5 wind scars burst from his sword and fly at Naraku.
The bees around Naraku move in front of him, acting as living shields.
"Damn that coward!" Inuyasha inwardly cursed.
"Running out of options are we?" Naraku asked.
"Shit! I have to stall till the others arrive." Inuyasha thought.
-Scene change-
Miroku was slicing demons in two with his staff as a boomerang flew over his head saving him from one of the many monsters.
"Miroku we have to keep these things away from Inuyasha!" Sango yelled.
Miroku grunts as he slices three demons at once.
"Easier said than done!" Miroku yelled back.
The two were surrounded by an ever growing demonic population and their fatigue was rising as their morale lowered.
Sango threw her boomerang only for it to be deflected by a surprise attack from a flanking demon.
However, Sango was saved by her most trusted ally Kirara.
"Thanks Kirara, let's hold them off!" Sango ordered.
As Sango road her back, she saw a tired Shippo.
"Rest Shippo, we have this. Let's go Kirara!"
Kirara roared as she flew toward the demon horde.
As their battles prolonged, Kagome was out gathering all their allies.
The wolf demons, the cat demons, Kaede's villagers, many priests and priestess', Myoga, and even Shesshomaru himself.
"Stay alive Inuyasha, stay with me." Kagome thought as she ran with her group.
"We are almost there! Move it people!" Kagome ordered.
Shesshomaru soared with his companions.
Koga was carrying Kagome, much to Ayame's displeasure.
Kagome was carrying Myoga.
The cats (the female called Shurran survived) were lead by their clan leader Shurran.
Kaede's villagers were following close behind, unfortunately Kaede is too up in age to join them.
"We need to hurry, we need more time." Kagome said as she held onto Koga.
Time waits for no one, and no one can catch up to time.
-Scene change-
Inuyasha was heavily wounded with scratches and scars covering his body.
He was able to put dents in Naraku's 'indestructible' body though.
"Running out of energy are we?" Naraku asked as he summoned more demons.
Inuyasha's deep breaths were a clear indication of fatigue, but he must press on!
"Not even close." Inuyasha said as he put blood on his claws.
As Inuyasha let out blades of blood, Naraku sent a blast of poison in his face.
The blades of blood blew away Naraku's mid-section, but was regenerated in a heartbeat.
The poison however, was now within Inuyasha's lungs.
Inuyasha coughed loudly trying to expel the deadly gas from him, but to no prevail.
"Seems your friends aren't here to save you."Naraku said as he smiled.
Inuyasha continued to cough.
"No, they are coming though." Inuyasha said as he lifted his sword.
-scene change-
"SANGO THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM!" Miroku yelled as he was slashed in his right shoulder.
"KEEP STALLING!" Sango yelled.
Kirara was having a 20 vs 1 fight with the odds greatly against her and her body severely injured.
"Help is on the way!" The three heard from over the horizon.
They turned to see Kagome and her posse coming to save the day.
"Finally! We need some help here!" Miroku called out.
Shesshomaru was the fire to go in.
He stood there as demons surrounded him and cut them all into pieces with his claws.
He was the one who cleared the largest majority of these damned beasts.
"HEY! WHO SAID A DOG WILL HAVE ALL THE FUN?" Koga yelled.
Koga charges at the demons and starts doing his tornado kick with Ayame by his side.
"TWIN TORNADO KICK!" Ayame yelled.
The two tornadoes fused killing anything it touched.
"Hey! I never asked for your help!" Koga yelled at her.
"Well sorry for saving my future husband!" Ayame yelled at him.
"For the last time I'm not your-" Koga was rudely interrupted by Shurran.
Shurran bounced from Koga's head and set the terrain ablaze with her fire abilities.
"BUUURRRNN! BURN YOU WRETCHED FIENDS!" Shurran yelled.
The terrain was scorched along with some of the demons in it.
The priests and priestesses were surrounding the last demons with the cat clan and villagers behind them.
"Prepared to be purified!" The lead priest said.
The demons banded together for the desperate attempt to live, but proved pointless against the combination of holy powers against them.
With the demons gone it was a straight path to Naraku and-
"INUYASHA!" Kagome shouted as she saw Inuyasha limb bloody body lay before the near dead Naraku.
"It's no use. He's long gone." Naraku said as he threw up blood.
A groan could be heard from the body of Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! You're alive!" Kagome yelled as she hugged him.
Inuyasha was coughing up blood and miasma.
"You told me to stay alive...until you came back...I did. Can't break a promise to you now can I?" Inuyasha said as his body remained limp with his sword at his side.
"Arrogant little half-demon. Why don't you just die?" Naraku said as he rose again.
By this time the group was ready and confronting Naraku.
"Naraku your time of horror and murder is over!" Yelled Miroku.
Kohaku appeared with Sango.
"Kohaku has long been over a spell you cast over him, but you are no longer controlling him!" Sango yelled.
"You murdered our family and destroyed our village. Your time has come." Kohaku said
"Prepare to die."Shesshomaru said.
"Hail Lord Shesshomaru!" Jaken yelled.
"Yay! Lord Shesshomaru!" Rin cheered.
"My allies will not be harmed." Shurran said with her members agreeing.
Myoga had jumped onto Inuyasha and began sucking the poison out.
"Careful Master Inuyasha." Myoga said as he sucked the blood up.
Inuyasha could now feel his body again.
"I will not die so easily." Naraku said as he turned into miasma.
"He's getting away!" Inuyasha yelled.
The group maneuvered away from the poison cloud.
The miasma flew through the air above Inuyasha forest.
"He's...going toward...THE WELL!" Kagome yelled.
Kagome began chasing the cloud, when she was held back by someone.
"Inuyasha!" She yelled in surprise.
"I'm coming with you." Inuyasha said as he picked himself up from the ground.
"Inuyasha, you are hurt badly you need to stay here!" Kagome demanded.
"NO! If he goes in your world he is also endangering the people I care about. You, your family, and your friends. I can't allow that." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha, I can't lose-" Kagome started.
"I'm going to help. Whether you want it or not. " Inuyasha said as he followed her.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said as she stared into her eyes.
"Kagome, we need Inuyasha to go with you. He's the only one who can."
"I know, but I don't want to risk him again." Kagome said.
"Kagome, I'm not going to sit by when there are people who I care about threatened by that monster." Inuyasha said as he gave a stern glare.
Sango looked to see that Naraku had already went through the well.
"GO HE'S ALREADY LEAVING!" Sango shouted.
Both Kagome and Inuyasha had already dashed to the well.
-scene change-
Little Sota was playing soccer in the backyard with 7 of his little friends.
Kagome's grand-dad was out near the back door watching them, laughing as he saw himself in little Sota.
Kagome's mom was making a nice batch of chocolate cookies for when the kids were done playing.
Kagome's mom had a wonderful smile planted on her face as nothing could make this day go wrong.
Suddenly purple smoke had erupted from the old Higurashi well.
"Grandpa?" Sota called to Grandpa.
The old timer looked up and saw the demonic mist.
"SOTA! GET OUT OF THERE!" Grandpa called out.
Sota did so and his little friends followed suite.
The purple smoke ignored them and flew toward the inner city.
"Grandpa what was that?" Sota cried.
"It was evil incarnated my boy." Grandpa said.
"Oh my Sota! Are you alright?" Kagome's mom asked.
"I'm not sure." Sota responded.
The well's doors barged open to reveal Inuyasha and Kagome heading toward the family.
"Kagome what was that?" Grandpa asked.
"That was Naraku, the evil demon Inuyasha and I have been chasing." Kagome answered.
"Oh dear lord Inuyasha! Are you hurt?" Kagome's mom asked.
She had taken one look at him to see his bloody and battered body still moving.
"No, just dandy." He answered sarcastically
"Come on Kagome, we have to stop Naraku." Inuyasha said as he ran into the city.
"Gotta go, you know save the earth and all that." Kagome said as she followed Inuyasha.
"Please be safe you two." Kagome's mom prayed.
-scene change-
Naraku was flying over the city causing many people to go wide-eyed or panic.
"Seems the human are the same in the future." Naraku said.
A swarm of poisonous insects appear from behind him.
"THEY ARE STILL WEAK!" Naraku yelled as he sent the insects at a car.
The insects mindlessly attacked the car until it burst in a fiery explosion.
"Help! There is a monster!" A woman yelled as she ran.
Upon the call multiple police cars arrive underneath the flying monster.
A middle aged man appears from the police car with a microphone.
"HALT! THIS IS OFFICER HATAKE! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!" Hatake yelled.
"Well it seems there is justice doers in this world." Naraku said.
"FLOAT DOWN HERE WITH YOUR HANDS UP OTHERWISE WE'LL BE AUTHORIZED TO FIRE!" Hatake said as he drew his weapon along side his fellow cops.
Naraku put up his hands and slowly flew down.
"There we go, nice and slowly." Hatake said.
As Naraku hit the ground, he sent miasma though his hands.
"RETREAT!" Hatake ordered as he was able to dodge the miasma.
His men weren't so lucky however.
He watched as his men chocked to death on this poison.
A few spitting up blood.
All had their skin melted to the bone.
"NO! DAMN IT!" Hatake yelled as he fired rounds at Naraku.
None of which did any significant damage.
"You want to die too human?" Naraku asked as he sent Miasma at Hatake.
Hatake braced himself.
If he was going to die, it'd be like a man.
A arrow suddenly embedded itself in the wall right behind him and the arrow scathed his ear.
The air purified in front of him.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Inuyasha yelled with Kagome on his back.
"You again? THIS WILL END NOW!" Naraku yelled.
"Let's go!" Inuyasha yelled as he set Kagome down.
Kagome readied for battle pulling an arrow back on her bow.
Naraku and Inuyasha charged at one anther both with fire in their eyes and the will to survive.
Naraku sent waves of tentacles at him, but were blown away by Inuyasha's Wind scar.
Kagome sent many holy arrows at Naraku, all of which were dodged.
Inuyasha grew angry and sent a powerful Adamant Barrage toward Naraku.
Naraku had to swerve to avoid many, but the few he couldn't dodge hit non vital parts of him (arms).
With his arms now practically useless Naraku open his vest revealing hordes of demons flowing out of him.
The civilians watching ran faster.
"IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" A cowardly man yelled as he ran into a brick house.
"Kagome, I must end him without harming innocence. You must deal the killing blow!" Inuyasha demanded.
Kagome nodded as she fire arrows at the incoming demons.
Inuyasha had kept Naraku occupied from harming others, but when a scared child ran underneath Naraku.
Inuyasha's hardened glare from Naraku, turned into a surprised look when he saw the child under his mortal enemy.
Naraku instantaneous saw and attacked the child.
Three tentacles flew at her, but went through Inuyasha's body.
"AHHHH! GET OUT OF HERE KID!" Inuyasha yelled.
The kid stood still, paralyzed with fear.
She saw the man's blood drip from his body.
The tentacle, now ripping through the skin, began getting closer to the kid.
"NOW DAMN IT! NOW!" Inuyasha hollered.
The kid fled with tears bursting from her eyes.
Inuyasha cut the tentacle and it lay wiggling, then still.
"Damn nuisance." Inuyasha cursed.
"Still caring for the small humans I see." Naraku laughed.
"Yea, but what have you done? You loved a woman that you killed, you killed the woman I loved, and messed up our lives." Inuyasha said.
"Ah, but I loved every moment of it." Naraku said as he planted himself on the ground.
"YOU BASTARD!" Inuyasha yelled as he charged at Naraku.
One of Naraku's tentacles flew in front of him and knocked Inuyasha 10 yards behind Kagome.
Inuyasha's sword landed in front of Kagome.
"Pitiful Half-Demon." Naraku said as he chuckled darkly.
Now was Kagome's shot.
Naraku was distracted and was wide open.
"Naraku. DIE!" Kagome said while pulling back an arrow.
Naraku turned to see an arrow he couldn't stop flying right at his body.
A spiritual arrow that would cleanse him off the earth.
Naraku pulled a final and desperate move.
"If I go down then you're coming with me!" Naraku shouted.
When Kagome shot the arrow, Naraku launched a small sharp tentacle aiming at her.
Aiming for her heart.
Kagome's eyes widened in surprise, she can't dodge this.
She's dead.
As the tentacle flew, it hit with a bloody squelch.
Blood splattered the ground.
The tentacle had pierced a heart...but it wasn't hers.
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha falls as Naraku evaporates.
"I...get..the..last...laugh..hahahahaha." Naraku laughs as he blows into the wind.
"INUYASHA! NO! GET UP." Kagome yelled while shaking him frantically.
"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!" She screamed.
Kagome's family arrived and had seen Kagome and Inuyasha.
"INUYASHA! WAKE UP! PLEASE...Please...Inuyasha...wake up...please..." Kagome cried as her head hung low.
"Ka..go...me..." Inuyasha said.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome's head beamed up.
She saw Inuyasha's half-closed eyes.
"Kagome!" Kagome's friends yelled as they surrounded.
"It's not fair! We finally kill Naraku and Inuyasha's dying!" Kagome cried.
Inuyasha's eyes looked around.
He saw his friends, his family, his allies.
He saw Kagome's tears.
He saw Sota's sadness.
He saw Gramps regret.
He saw Mom's sympathy.
He saw everyone, everyone wanting him not to die.
He can't help it.
He helped everyone already.
Naraku is dead, everyone should be happy.
Inuyasha has freed them from their hate of Naraku.
Yet, he can't free himself yet.
He had so much more to do.
Start a family, raise his kids, see his friends, be there for his family, see their smiles, hear their laughs, comfort their sadness, feel their love.
Love, He has felt this from the people all around him.
Love, can heal everything, expect for a broken heart.
"MOM!" Kagome cried.
"What is dear?" Kagome's mom asked.
"It's not fair! We were finally able to kill Naraku, but Inuyasha's dying!" Kagome yelled.
"Kagome dear, it's not your fault." Kagome's mom said as she hugged Kagome.
"IT IS! THAT RUPTURE WAS HEADING FOR ME, NOT INUYASHA!" Kagome cried.
"Kagome!...Kagome...is Inuyasha going to be okay?" Sota asked as he walked and sat near Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's left hand reached to Sota.
Young Sota grabbed it and began crying.
"Please don't go...please...stay with our family...we love you Inuyasha...please...don't leave us." Sota cried.
Gramps walked right up behind Kagome.
"Kagome dear. It's fine." Gramps said in a soothing voice.
"NO IT'S NOT!" Kagome yelled.
"Well, in time you'll heal. Inuyasha we all here will never forget you, and your sacrifice." Gramps said.
Inuyasha's gaze turned to him.
"And I never had the chance to apologize to you for thinking you were...evil..when we first met." Gramps said.
Inuyasha's right hand was going near Kagome.
He reached for something.
Kagome saw and handed him, his sword.
Inuyasha held it tight in his right hand his grip trying to increase.
Yet, his grip was weakening.
His body stiffing.
His vision blurry.
Suddenly Inuyasha's sword started melting.
Kagome took notice and panicked.
"WHAT!" Everyone else shouted as they see Tessaiga disappearing.
Everyone turned to Inuyasha and his eyes were closing.
"INUYASHA NO!" Kagome yelled.
Kagome tried to hold Inuyasha in this world.
Even though she knew it wouldn't work, she had to.
If anything to try and keep the man she loved alive.
Kagome's mom rushed to her and held her back.
"KAGOME! There is nothing we can do." She said as she hugged Kagome.
"No...Inuyasha...Don't go...Inuyasha..." She sobbed.
With his eyes now fully closed and his pulse fading, Inuyasha was no more.
-Scene change-
Inuyasha saw pitch black, he tried opening his eyes, but couldn't.
He lay there for what seemed like an eternity.
Until he heard some voices.
"Here's a spirit." A man said.
"Yea, but what is he?" A woman said.
"I'm not authorized to ask or answer questions." The man said.
"Fine, whatever. Let's just pass him on and get it over with." The woman said.
Inuyasha's mind was rushing around.
Inuyasha couldn't speak, only think.
"HEY! GET AWAY! I'M STILL ALIVE YOU HEAR! I'M STILL ALIVE!" Inuyasha thought.
"Beginning procedure." The man said.
"WHAT PROCEDURE? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME! I STILL HAVE MY LIFE TO LIVE! I'M ALIVE!" Inuyasha tried to yell.
"Hurry it up will you?" The woman complained.
"GET AWAY! I NEED TO SEE MY LOVED ONES! TO TELL THEM I'M ALRIGHT!" Inuyasha's mind hollered.
A bump was the felt on Inuyasha's head.
When he felt it, Inuyasha started to see a light.
"No...NO!" Inuyasha thought as he felt he was being lifted.
"NOOOOOOO!" Inuyasha yelled as he was carried away.
-scene change-
Inuyasha finally opens his eyes to an unfamiliar surrounding.
Clouds under him, a village around him, people laughing and communicating without worry.
"Where am I?" Inuyasha asked out loud.
No one had heard him as they were busy.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" Inuyasha yelled as his voiced rang throughout the land.
