Another Day

By: Lilly

A/N: Oo;; Rabid Inuyasha fans, please dun kill me if this sucks, because it's my first IY fanfiction. My dearest Shu thanks for getting me into IY !!!! IY rulez !!!! Anyway, this fic is AU and *dun dun dunn* angsty !!!!! [When have I ever written a non-angsty fic ? j/k LOL !!! Oh, and also this is I/Ka, M/S, and N/Ki. If you hate any of these, then don't even bother reading it because you'll hate it.

Warnings: Violence, blood, etc, especially in the prologue. Some cursing ahead, maybe some ecchi scenes later on, but I dunno yet. Hope you'll like it. Reviews are always appreciated.

Disclaimer: And now the disclaimer. I [unfortunately] do not own Inuyasha and co. *Huge sigh* How I'd LOVE to own Naraku... They all belong to the goddess Takahashi Rumiko. This is a non-profit fic, written solely for my [and hopefully Shu's] amusement. ^___^

Prologue: End of Life

Inuyasha could see they were losing the battle. Naraku was too powerful for them. He had thought he could face him alone, and yet, during this travels he'd met many people who were willing to help him fight Naraku, even if each of his allies had a personal feud with the demon.

But even that aid had not been enough, because everyone had underestimated their enemy's power. He looked around, watching Sango's boomerang being shattered into pieces, Miroku being slowly consumed by the demonic bees' venom and the little kitsune Shippou trying to help him, all Kikyou's arrows gone. Even Sesshoumaru, maybe the strongest youkai in the world, was already exhausted, trying to protect his little friend Rin. All of them were carrying wounds in various places of their bodies, and they all knew they would die soon...

"Give up now." Naraku said. "You know you can't win against me. It's not too late for you to join me. Surrender now and I may spare you. Refuse to do so and die. Either way, the Shikon no Tama will be mine." he declared. Inuyasha, who was the one closest to him spat at his face. "You will never have it, Naraku !!!" Inuyasha screamed, and with a sudden surge of strength he attacked Naraku.

"Then watch your friends die and die with them." the half-demon replied with a smirk. Faster than the eye could see, he was at Kikyou's side, and plunged a hand into her chest. "D-Don't let him have it, Inuyasha..." she whispered, as she let out her last breath.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!" Inuyasha cried as he started running to Kikyou's side, but he hadn't even reacher her side, when Naraku was already by Sesshoumaru's side. "You know Sesshoumaru, it's such a waste you betrayed me... You would have made a useful servant..." he said, before stabbing his stomach with a dagger. The youkai slid to the ground, pressing a hand to the gaping hole in his stomach, while Naraku slashed him in several places, before delivering the final blow and turning to Rin.

"Sesshoumaru !!!!!!!" Inuyasha was now paralyzed with shock. He had never imagined he'd see his brother being killed so brutally. He had always said he wished to see him dead, but deep inside, he knew he could never kill Sesshourmaru, and not only because the older youkai was stronger than him. In a way, he had felt some brotherly affection for him, and had even admired him. Now he was dead along with Rin, who shouldn't have died then, she was so young.

"Will you still defy me, Inuyasha ? You can still this monk's life, along with the kitsune's, the exterminator's, and yours. And you only have to give the Shikon to me." Naraku said, as he slowly made his way over to Miroku, Sango, and Shippou.

"H-How DARE you, Naraku ? You can't have it !!! I promised Kikyou I'd never let you have it !!!" Inuyasha grabbed his Tetsusaiga and ran to attack Naraku, who blocked the attack with an energy barrier that sent the hanyou bouncing back.

"Fool..." he said and ordered his insects to attack Miroku once again, not through the hole in his hand, but by simply stinging him to death. Sango turned away from that awful sight, taking Shippou in her arms trying to escape Naraku, but she was suddenly hit on the back with a weapon, like the one his little brother Kohaku used to bear. She fell to the ground. "How could you... ? How dare you kill me with my brother's... weapon... ?" Sango whispered in disgust, before she closed her eyes forever. Shippou's and Inuyasha's screams could be heard, but soon it was only Inuyasha's, as Shippou was made dead by Naraku.

"STOP IT !!!!!!! I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU !!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed in rage, as he tried to attack Naraku once again, with the last of his fading strength. Naraku moved out of the Tetsusaiga's blow and slapped it away from Inuyasha's hand. "You can't kill me Inuyasha. You're too weak and pathetic to do so much as a mere scratch to me. You don't realize the height of my powers yet, but you'll soon see and join your friends in the afterlife..." he said, before stabbing Inuyasha's heart with the same dagger he'd used on Sesshoumaru.

"Damn you... Naraku... I'll make you pay... someday..." Inuyasha cursed, before passing away.

Naraku laughed to himself. "At last, the Shikon no Tama is mine..." he said, and took the precious treasure from Inuyasha's body. But as soon as he took it in his hand, it burned itself, along with the demon's hand.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!" Naraku cried, but there was no one left to hear him.

Oo;; Ok, that was pretty bloody. ^^;; I promise a milder chapted the next time. Anyway, I hoped you liked this, and PLEAAAAAAAAAASE review. Reviews are nice. ^___^ Shu, Rin, I hope I didn't scare you or made you want to kill me for killing everyone so brutally. Ehehehehehehehe... Sowwy girls.
