Gone Wrong

Prologue

Everything had happened the way they had dreamed it would the day Naraku finally died. The group had fought their battle flawlessly with the help of a few surprise allies. Of course, the battle had its casualties but they were long expected.

Kikyo had long since been gone but that didn't lesson Inuyasha's determination or the sting of Naraku's insults..

Kohaku's death had also been at Naraku's hands, it was unfortunately necessary for the completion of the jewel.

Sango had to watch helplessly as the bastard of a half-demon gleefully plunged his hand into her brother's back to retrieve the shard. This did not result in the total destruction of Sango's psyche as he would have hoped instead it made her eyes harden with hate and her determination to see his head on a pike increase ten fold.

Miroku fought bravely at her side with his staff spinning with an accuracy that was stunning to behold, his wind tunnel useless due to the poisonous insects, while Kagome was perched behind them waiting for her shot.

Sesshomaru, deadly and graceful as always, moved flawlessly over the terrain oddly in sync with his brother's random dashes to get at the enemy.

For in the end, it turned out both swords were needed in order to defeat the vile half-demon. Sesshomaru's sword of life, though he was loathe to use it, had vibrated against his hip demanding the attention of his master and in a split decision he had drawn it instead of his Toukijin. A single slice was all that was needed to free all the demons Naraku had absorbed into his body and, with Inuyasha's wind scar, a single swing to kill them all before they had a chance to orient themselves.

Kagome saw her chance and fired her arrow which purified the remains of Naraku and freed Onigumo's soul.

A great cheer arose and they rejoiced the death of Naraku to which Kagome uttered a confusing, "Ding, dong, the witch is dead!" She searched through the debris and pulled out most of the jewel which immediately turned a light pink at her touch. She took the shards from her bottle and placed them together in her hand where they fused into one.

Inuyasha watched her, hell, they all watched her turn with the biggest smile they had seen in weeks and offer the jewel to him. His clawed hand came up and closed her fingers around the jewel, "I don't need it."

His hand drifted from hers to cup her cheek and his expression was for her alone though hers was there for all to see. Her eyes softened as she leaned her face into his hand and that's when everything went wrong.

The jewel flared a blinding white in Kagome's hand and she shielded her eyes against it as did Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and everyone forced their eyes to see through the blinding light.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's anguished cry made everyone flinch as he desperately tried to grab the fading girl only for his hand to pass through her, "Kagome!"

Her mouth screamed his name silently as tears streamed down her cheeks in denial until she was finally gone.

Inuyasha trembled with the force of his grief but did not utter another syllable. Shippo's tears were not as quiet or controlled.

Sango's eyes were wet with tears as she turned to bury her face in Miroku's chest. He rubbed her back comfortably, his hands behaving for once.

"What the hell happened?!" Koga raged. "Hey, dog shit what the hell did you DO?!!"

"Leave him alone-" Miroku tried but was cut off.

"I fucking decide to let you have her and you fucking let her disappear!"

Sango lifted her head in teary disbelief, of all the times for Koga to pick a fight with Inuyasha-

Miroku's hands went to her face and directed her back to him, "Maybe you should go stop them, Sango, they might finally kill each other without Kagome here to stop them. The last thing she would have wanted was for them to fight."

Sango nodded and touched his face, "You want to help me?"

Miroku smiled and shook his head, "I think I would only aggravate them further." He touched his lips to hers in a chaste kiss, "I love you, Sango."

She smiled through her tears, "I love you, too, Miroku."

Then she turned to the raging demons.

"You don't know what the fuck you are talking about," Inuyasha snarled fully embracing his fury, anything to keep his grief in check.

"Don't I?!" Koga snarled, "You had better bring her back right now-!"

Shippo leaped onto Koga's head with a small growl to chew on his ear. "She never liked you!"

"STOP THIS! RIGHT NOW!" Sango was suddenly between both of them, "Kagome is gone. Fighting won't solve anything-"

A strong blast of wind knocked them off their feet and they sat up to see a horror they had never thought to see in their lifetime.

Miroku's wind tunnel was turning on him.

Sango fought the wind to get to her feet and made to run to him when she was grabbed, "Miroku!"

"KEEP HER BACK!" He screamed as he tried to stumble even farther away from his friends and love.

"NO, let me go!" Tears streamed wildly down her face and she turned to see her captive, "Inuyasha, please, let me go."

Inuyasha held her grimly and shook his head.

She gaze turned back to her monk's and she screamed his name again and again each time more desperate than the last. She struggled violently and, truly, only Inuyasha could have held her in place as fought to get to Miroku.

Miroku turned then with his hair flying wildly about his head, his face was serene though his eyes were a bit sad, and mouthed a single word before being consumed, "Sango."

Sango fell to the ground inconsolable and Shippo crawled into her lap just as emotionally torn apart. Naraku had taken Miroku from them in a final act of vindictiveness. They were both scooped up into a tight hug that was almost more crushing than comforting. They cried. They cried until they thought their souls would leave their bodies in order to grant them peace from the hell they resided. They clutched at each other desperate for an anchor least they float away alone in their tears.

They were lifted and then they were moving.

Sango lifted her head long enough to realize it was Inuyasha who held them and it was Inuyasha's silent tears which soaked her shoulder before she buried her face once more into his chest. She clutched Shippo in much the same manner Inuyasha had held them and slowly the kit quieted. She, too, let go of consciousness eager for the blessed darkness of oblivion where she would not hurt. She did not wonder where Inuyasha was taking them. Truthfully, at the moment, she did not care.

Sesshomaru watched them leave, his face as impassive as always, and then turned into the sunset with the wind rustling his clothes.

Koga bit his lip until it bled. He would grant the half-dog the courtesy of time to mourn his friend and comfort his pack. Make no mistake, Inuyasha would answer for his woman disappearing, and he would pay with his life if necessary.
