Illusion.
Summary: While just about to confess to InuYasha, my feelings, Naraku showed up, resulting in the final battle. We all defeated him, and I finally go to tell InuYasha my feelings. But, he only rejected me in the end. I ran away and ended up meeting someone, more than I could ask for. He was more than I could ever imagine. Matter-a-fact, I hadn't even thought of us ever being together… Odd, ain't it?
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any of its characters… However, in my mind, I –always- will. So, now what, eh? :D
So, I'm making another InuYasha story, hopefully it'll actually last this time, eh? Ha-ha.
The pairing is Sesshoumaru and Kagome. And honestly, point blank, I hate Kikyou. I won't bash her too much in this fan-fiction, but she will be considered the bullshit girl, who everyone thinks is a dollar-whore or something to that effect; more or less. So, if you don't like it, then this story -really- isn't the fantasy for you.
However, I might switch it up a bit, so that Kikyou may be on of the good people to look up to. Just depends on the mood I'm in when I finally get to that part.
Chapter 1- The Final Battle? Part I.
A girl with raven hair sat on a grass in the open field, next to a person with white and silver locks. The strands bonded together right down in the middle. A sigh of content escaped the young woman's pinks lips, as she snuggled further into the other's arm. The silvers headed one, when he turned his head to the side to look down at the woman, revealed himself to be a man.
"InuYasha…" The young woman breathed out, as she thought of how to express herself for the first time to him. Her clothes her very strange considering how everyone else dressed in that time. Her green skirt and green and white collared shirt with her red ascot seemed to be that of "future clothing". I think that requires a major "duh", considering she is from the future. The knee high socks and brown shoes seemed to be the most "Advanced", per se, of the whole ensemble. "I have something to tell you…"
"What is it?" InuYasha answered quite bored with their current surroundings and mood. His mind was here, but his heart seemed to be elsewhere. Like he didn't care for what was said right now; he wanted to be elsewhere, in the arms of another. InuYasha inwardly sighed and turned his left ears towards her, as he turned his head to the other side, while closing his eyes. His bright, all red Kimono top and Gi stood out the most in the dull coloured environment.
"Well, I…" The raven-haired female started off quietly and shyly. Her heartbeat raced and her face started to heat up a bit. She continued to think of how to say how she felt. Her mind seemed to be confused as to how to put her sentences. It wasn't like she couldn't do it or she was stupid. Just that the feelings that she felt, had clouded her brain, her thoughts, and it seemed that her very common sense, failed to serve her at the moment.
"Spit it out, Kagome. I don't have all day." It was true. He didn't. InuYasha had planned to go and meet with someone later today and/or tonight.
"A-Alright..." Kagome stuttered. "Well I… I actually wanted to tell you..." She took a deep breathe, as she tried to calm her heartbeat. "That I…"
InuYasha sniffed the air as the breeze carelessly carried the smell of a familiar scent. It was a scent that he wasn't too fond of. His thick eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed. "Sesshoumaru…" InuYasha breathed out. He stood up and unsheathed his sword quickly, while going into an immediate offensive and defensive stance, in the direction of his opponent.
"Naraku…" Kagome breathed out as she sensed more than a few jewel shards approach them, quickly. 'Just as I was about to admit myself to InuYasha… He had to come… How ironic.' She thought, aggravated. Getting up and running to the side, Kagome quickly picked up her quiver and arrows, and stood next to InuYasha in an offensive stance.

Kirara's tail fluffed up and she snarled, her snout pointing towards the direction in which Kagome went off with InuYasha in. Her teeth poked through her bottom lips as her fangs grew 5 times its normal size. Her body structure also grew, but it was 10 times its normal size.
Sango quickly raised her head and looked to Kirara with a concerned facial structure. She stood and walked over, to pet her head, trying to calm her a bit. "What's wrong, Kirara?" Sango asked worriedly while trying to decipher what the fire cat growled about.
The perverted monk, Miroku, sat there rubbing his right cheek, where the red hand print was. He sighed inwardly, "Sango… I assure you it wasn't me! It's my ha—" Looking up at the sky, he gasped a bit. His eyebrows furrowed and he quickly stood to his feet his staff in a defensive position. "Samiyoushou… Naraku…" Miroku said in a quite and tense manner. "Sango." He muttered, and before he knew it, Sango was off getting into her battle-wear. A few moments later, Sango was ready and she hopped up on Kirara and waited for Miroku to get on. Just then, he followed and they were both off to see Kagome and InuYasha.
--: More Elsewhere: --
Somewhere, not too far from the InuYasha-gumi, a handsome man, standing at about 6 foot 7, with demon markings on his face, stood still as the wind passed by and caressed his face. His expression remained emotionless, however, his lips didn't. The seemingly young man's skin was overall fairly pale. However, his eyes somehow made his skin seem to be one of the most beautiful things in the world. Pools of honey-gold swirled in his eyes, and the sun, before it disappeared, illuminated them and his skin. He almost looked quite angelic from this point of view. The crescent moon on his forehead looked to be a blue-violet colour and his "demon markings" looked more or less to be makeup. However, never explain to Sesshoumaru, what make up is, and then tell him that he looks like he's wearing it. That'll only result in a… sure death; painless or painful really won't matter, so long as you die.
The demon quietly said "Naraku," to himself, as he abruptly made an about-face and went towards the source of the smell. "This is where I finally defeat him, once and for all." Another breeze passed him and he smelled another familiar scent. 'That half-breed is there as well... No surprise… Where ever that mongrel is, Naraku certainly will be nearby…'
The small toad like creature treaded behind the fairly large demon with his three headed staff. The faces looked to be that of which you would see in the puppeteer theaters; a happy, sad, and vexed faces, put side by side. The toad demon's skin was an obvious green, while its surface remained quite bumpy and rough. His eyes were big and yellow, and his mouth looked to be that of a chicken's mouth. He stood at a rough… 2 feet 3. In comparison to the taller demon, he was beyond short. The smaller demon shyly looked up to the taller one and spoke, "L-Lord Sesshoumaru..?"
The taller demon only listened and spoke no words. He just continued to tread the path, to what he desired to find. His white, red, purple, and gray kimono and supposedly sweats, which cuffed at his ankles, fit his figure perfectly, showing off his dynamic figure. The bone armor over his shoulders protruded outwards and gave a defensive type of appearance. And finally, the boa that his kept around his shoulders, looked to be a sort of decoration.
The toad spoke aloud once again, after believing that he had retrieved Sesshoumaru's attention. "Are we going to seek out Naraku, and end his life once and for all..?" He asked timidly while tilting his head a bit more upwards to see the back of his head.
Sesshoumaru simply nodded and continued his way down the path he had chosen out for travel. "Yes, Jaken… Ah, Un, let us hurry up. I would not like to miss this fight." She simply stated with a curt nod and a quickening of speed. His tread now, a run.
The two-headed demon dogs behind him, whinnied and picked up Jaken by the scuff of his neck, with their teeth, threw him on their back, and quickly started to run. Soon enough their run became an elegant glide, through sticks, branches, leaves, and grass. Jaken had fell into the arms of a smiling little girl. She careful put him down on the demon's back and nodded a bit. "You're welcome, Toad." She said politely with a child-like smile, which seemed to be the sun when it was away for that period in time.
The girl wore an orange and peach coloured kimono, which stopped at her ankles. Her brown hair was made into flipped-type curls and it stopped a little after her neck. Big brown eyes and rosy cheeks graced her face that gave more of a little girl look to her young body. She stood at about 3 feet and 2 inches and she had smile thin lips to go with her face, for completion.
"You insufferable mortal! Don't you ever address me like that, Rin! I am older and much wiser than you! You address me with respect at all times! Do you hear me?!" She screeched, in a weird high pitched voice.
Rin giggled and smiled once again, "Why yes, Mr. Toad man, Sir."
Jaken just growled, moved to the base of Ah and Un's tail and sat down. Right after, he folded his arms and legs, while sticking his nose in the air, with a pout. Rin only giggled at Jaken's current state and turned her head towards the direction they were going in, and waited upon their arrival.
-- -Sigh. - MORE Elsewhere… --
The young woman stood there lacking anymore patience, her eyebrows furrowed in a bit of anger, as she folded her arms and looked at InuYasha's tree. It was the tree where she had almost sealed his fate 50 years ago. 'However the wretch got in the way, and disrupted it.' She thought to herself. The woman's skin was very white and made her look quite ghostly. The shinigamis that she had all around her did not do much to make her look better. It only made a white mist like environment around her.
Her eyes were a deep brown colour and they looked very mysterious in the light; more mysterious in the dark. There was a brown bow fixated upon the small of her back with a pack or straight head arrows in cylinder container, which rested on her shoulder. Her clothing certainly fit the era. A ceremonial priestess outfit is what she was wearing. A white kimono-like top and very loosely fitted, red pants. A red string was tied around the collar of the top she wore.
"InuYasha…" She called out to herself, wondering where the half-demon could be. And as if God had heard her and decided to answer her, she saw Naraku's poisonous insects fly overhead to the north. "'That is the field that InuYasha and that futuristic girl are in..!" She smirked and headed direction in that direction. "I'm coming to claim my prize, Kagome. And I won't leave without him at my side."
--: Back with InuYasha and Kagome: (Finally) --
InuYasha growled loudly and turned his head to Kagome, keeping his eyes on the Miasma and purple with black highlighted clouds that came closer to them. The green grass below them began to die and turn brown, and then a black colour, which seemed to make it turn into a tar like material. Unusual? Very unusual, indeed. "Kagome, don't let your guard down, not even one second, OK?" InuYasha called out to her while tightening the grip on his sword.
"InuYasha! Kagome! What's going on?" Sango cried out as she appeared from behind the trees. Kirara glided out and landed right beside them. Sango put a hand on her boomerang, and nodded to Miroku to get off of Kirara. A small nod came from Miroku, as he jumped off, while Sango along with Kirara went into an offensive position.
Kagome looked to both of them with a smile, "Yes… We are okay… Naraku is coming… I hope you all know this?" She said as she turned her head back to the direction of Naraku's insects that headed their way.
Sango and Miroku just nodded as they kept their stances and waited for the enemy's arrival.
InuYasha sniffed the air and then growled, "Great… More company--" His eyes widened. "K-Kikyou is headed this way… Shit, I forgot about her…" She mumbled to himself. His ears fell, and he felt a bit guilty about not telling her of the current situation at hand. InuYasha's eyes made its way to Kagome, her fighting stance had not faltered, however, he could sense a bit of sadness radiating off of her. His ears fell down more. He had to do this… He had to leave her. He owed at least that much to Kikyou, right? Besides, even if he does go with the dead woman, he'd be happy, right? Seeing as it was his first love. Everything would be alright, wouldn't it…? Yes… He would. It was Kikyou; she could always make him happy.
Sesshoumaru waltzed through the grass and finally made it into the clearing that the InuYasha-gumi had gathered into. "So… This is where Naraku shall be fighting at… Well, He won't be getting away this time. I will make sure of it." He said menacingly as he put his left hand on the hilt of his Toukijin.
Kagome, Sango, and Miroku turned around to look behind them. Surely, then saw Sesshoumaru, and his followers who shortly came out of the bushes. It was Rin, Ah and Un, and… Uhm… Kagome Miroku and Sango huddled together whispering trying to decipher who the little toad was again.
"Who's the toad?" Kagome whispered fairly loud to Miroku.
"I don't remember, all I remember is that he's Sesshoumaru's follower due to misunderstood circumstances…" Miroku replied just as loud as she.
"Hey, hey! It wasn't misunderstood circumstances! He saved me and my village!!" Jaken cried out flailing his arms about. "And I'm right here you know! If you don't want me to hear, try whispering a little lower, you airheads!!"
Sango looked to both of them, "I think his name is..." She said quietly thinking to herself. With a curt nod of all their heads and a pound in a hand, then stood up quite happy with what they thought his name could be. "So your name's are…" The three of them cried out.
"Rin!" Kagome shouted out.
"Ah and Un." Miroku cried out, right after Kagome.
"And… Jekan!" Sango said grinning to herself, with her hands on her hips.
Jaken's face went pale while he fell back in shock. Rin giggled her head off in the background, and Sesshoumaru mentally smirked.
"NO! It's not Jekan! It's Jaken! Jaken!! JAKEN!" The little toad screamed as he flailed around the area some more. Tears fell down hi cheeks as he shouted, "How cold you remember the insignificant human girl, but not the powerful demon toad?! How?!"
"Easy: Because she cute, deal." Kagome and Sango simply stated.
Jaken went pale again and he went in a corner and obtained the beetle position. He poked his index fingers together repeatedly, as he held down his head dejectedly.
"Sesshoumaru..! What are you doing here?!" Miroku cried out to him as he made another offensive stance, just aimed at Sesshoumaru this time. His laughing fit was over, and it was time to get down to business. His Kazaana hand had been pointed in Sesshoumaru's direction in a threatening manner.
"Silly human; do not point such feeble weapons to me. Continue this, and that hand of yours might just be a souvenir, for my castle." Sesshoumaru said as he stepped up to stand right next to InuYasha, his gaze still straight ahead of him. "I have not come for you idiots. You have no type of significance in my life. I am only here to beat Naraku once and for all." He simply said as his hand was still on the hilt of his sword.
Miroku shivered a bit ant then went to turn back around. However, before he could turn around, he saw someone walking in their direction. "K… Kikyou…" Miroku breathed out and then he quickly looked to Kagome... She had heard her name and she slowly turned back around to the Samiyoushou that had finally landed. Anger and sadness built within her heart and she took an arrow out and aimed it at the massive amount of insects that crawled around. Finally shot it at them, "Purifying Arrow!!" The original color of the arrow was a pure blue color, but this time it was mixed in with red and black. Miroku's eye widened and he shivered. How could this color be purifying? In any case…There was no way he'd ever get Kagome pissed off.
The arrows that been shot created a big explosion that had been set off before them, it was a few feet off, if it wanted to hit all the people behind the blast. All that hit them was a wind full of debris and miniature rocks. Kagome held her arrow-firing stance and only narrowed her eyes as the wind passed by them. After the wind went by and the debris cleared up, you could see that all of the Samiyoushou had been hit and all had died in the blast. Kagome smirked to herself, feeling fully accomplished, that she defeated all the Samiyoushou on her own. Kagome took out another arrow and fixated it on her bow, ready to attack.
Everyone looked to Kagome in shock; their jaws dropped and their eyes went round. "K… Kagome..?" They all breathed out.
"What is everyone waiting for? Get in your appropriate stances and be prepared for unsuspecting attacks!!" She shouted and demanded. Everyone got in their respective areas and stances, as they waited for an introduction from Naraku.
Kikyou stood in the background watching with great amusement and shock. Her reincarnation did that? How interesting. 'I might just end up taking her body to empty my soul in. Kagome would certainly serve useful.' She thought to herself. Kikyou smirked and leaned against a tree, and watched how just the final battle would pan out.
A dark mist approached them and a form started to materialize. "Why hello... It was nice of you all to gather here for me, instead of me trying to find you" The voice mocked. The mist finally disappeared and the figure finally showed. It was Naraku. "Let's get this party started, shall we?" He smirked and lunged forward towards the whole group.
Ok so, did you like it? :D
