A Feudal Fairytale
Chapter 1- The Final Fight
It was the final battle against Naraku, and everyone was gathered for the final fight against the demon that had ruined countless lives. Inuyasha had his trusty Tetsusagia with him; Kagome had her arrows; Miroku of course his Wind Tunnel; and Sango her Hiraikotsu. Even Shippo was ready to help at any moment, though he was hiding behind a rock most of the time. Sesshomaru and Kohaku were also there and ready to get revenge on the demon as well.
"This is it Naraku, say your prayers! Wind Scar!'' Inuyasha yelled out as a huge wave of energy emerged from his Tetsusagia and struck the demon. Naraku's body tore apart into tiny little pieces, but it eventually reconstructed itself all over again.
"Ha! You're going to have to try a lot harder than that, Inuyasha, if you want to have any hopes of defeating me!'' Naraku gloated as he looked down upon the pathetic little half-demon and his tag-along party, thinking to himself how this battle was as good as won.
Dammit, he's right! Inuyasha thought to himself. Ever since he got his new body our attacks stopped working. He just keeps putting himself back together!
"Inuyasha, look out!'' Kagome cried out as one of Naraku's tentacles struck Inuyasha, knocking him to the ground.
Inuyasha groaned in pain as Kagome ran over to him to help him up. As she ran, one of Naraku's tentacles aimed for Kagome and was just about to strike her when Inuyasha suddenly jumped up, picked up Kagome, and dodged the attack.
"Kagome!'' Sango and Miroku both called out, worried about their friend.
"Kirara, let's go see if they're okay.'' Sango commanded the feline fire-demon she was riding. Sheroared in response and flew over to the spot where Inuyasha and Kagome were.
Inuyasha was still on the run with Kagome in his arms, constantly dodging Naraku's tentacles; his main concern on the girl's safety. Still, though, he couldn't help but be a bit angry. "You idiot, didn't I tell you not to get in the way?'' Inuyasha yelled at the girl in his arms.
Kagome gaped at him, outraged. "Well, excuse me, Inuyasha! If it wasn't for me Naraku would have severely wounded you back there, and you would've been out of commission! Honestly, you can't do a thing without me," Kagome responded back angrily.
"What was that?'' Inuyasha yelled, beginning to lose his temper.
"You heard me!'' Kagome snapped back.
A small sigh came from behind a rock, as Shippo looked upon the two of them arguing. "Even during the most important battle against their most hated enemy, they're still fighting... Some things never change.''
As Miroku and Sango approached the spot where Inuyasha and Kagome were battling, they sighed in relief knowing that their friends were alright.
"Well, at least they seem to be okay.'' Sango exclaimed, suddenly though; she felt a hand creep up onto her bottom and her face turned fiercely red.
"This may be the last time I'll ever get to stroke your silky, warm skin. So just for old time's sake...'' Miroku said this wistfully as his hand kept on stroking up and down Sango's buttocks.
"Monk!''Sango yelled angrily as she slapped the lecherous monk right across the face.
And some things really never change. Shippo thought to himself, as he sighed yet again.
"What? Oh, c'mon, this may be the last time I'll ever get to feel you again… Besides, we need something to lighten the mood around here.''
"The only thing we need is for you to keep your hands to yourself! And don't talk like that; we're going to win this! C'mon Kirara, let's try circling around Naraku to look for an opening!'' Sango instructed as Kirara started circling around Naraku trying to look for an opening within his barrier.
"Hiraikotsu!'' Sango screamedout her attack as she threw her giant boomerang bone straight at Naraku, but she barely even damaged him.
"I wouldn't try that again if I were you,'' Naraku sneered, aiming one of his tentacles straight at Kohaku.
"Kohaku, no!'' Sango cried out in fear as she watched her only little brother get brutally attacked.
"Si-Sister,'' Kohaku called out in agony as the tentacles began to absorb him.
Sango's mind raced as she watched her only little brother being nearly absorbed. No, Kohaku! You're finally free of Naraku's control! I won't lose you again!'
"Kohaku!'' Suddenly, just as Kohaku was about to get absorbed by Naraku's tentacles, a blast of blue light came streaming towards the demon and broke off the attack.
"Naraku, I grow tired of your games.'' The voice came from a tall, beautiful, silver haired demon. He brandished his sword coolly, readying it for another attack. His amber glare was icy.
"Well, well… If it isn't Lord Sesshomaru," Naraku chuckled evilly. "How ironic that you're protecting the same whelp that nearly killed your precious girl-child Rin.''
"Silence! Sesshomaru sneered out. "I have had enough!'' Sesshomaru's eyes were flaring dangerously, as he was about to lose his temper and transform into his full-demon form. He stopped himself just in time though, as he steadily tried to gain control of his wasn't going to solve anything, especially since Rin was in the area watching him from somewhere along with Jaken. Instead he settled with taking out Tokajin and pummeling Naraku into the ground with his sword.
"Dragon Strike!'' Sesshomaru shouted out as another blue blast of light came toward Naraku. As before, however, it barely scratched the loathsome half-demon. Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Kagome were watching from afar the whole scene.
"Not even Sessohmaru's attacks have any effect on him," Kagome muttered. "Face it… Ever since he got that new body there's just no way to beat him.''
"Don't worry Kagome, we'll beat him.'' Inuyasha smirked confidently.
Kagome blinked twice, seemingly confused by this. "But, Inuyasha, how? I mean he just keeps reconstructing himself again and again. So tell me exactly how we're going to beat him, smart-guy.''
"Hey, shut up, I'm thinking alright!''
Kagome suddenly gasped, as she realized Naraku's tentacles were coming towards Inuyasha and her.
"Inuyasha, look out!'' Kagome cried out as she pushed Inuyasha out of the way, and got captured by the tentacle herself.
"Ahhhhhhhh!''
"Kagome!''
Before Kagome could get absorbed, however, a whirlwind of light saved her. It swept her up and materialized into a young man with long black hair tied back in a ponytail who was wearing what appeared to be a skirt.
"Hey, Kagome, how's it going?''
"K-Koga!''
The young wolf demon gently put her down and he snarled down at Inuyasha.
"Hey dog-breath, what do you think you're doing putting Kagome in danger like this? This is an all out showdown with Naraku, and you're just letting her stand in the middle of this, what's wrong with you?''
"Shut up! Inuyasha growled out angrily. What the hell are you doing here anyway Koga?
Koga simply smirked down at his rival. "In case you forgot, I got my own score to settle against Naraku, I'm going to be the one to defeat Naraku today and I'll protect Kagome.''
"Hah, dream on wolf-boy! I'm going to be the one who'll defeat Naraku, and Kagome doesn't need your protection, she has me!'' Inuyasha fired back.
"Naraku nearly consumed her back there, and you say you're protecting her? Hah, I'll be the one to protect Kagome.''
"Here we go again,'' Kagome thought to herself. It never changed, Inuyasha and Koga would always start a fight over her affections even at the most critical times.
"No me! I'll be the one to protect Kagome!'' Inuyasha shouted out.
"No, she needs me dog-breath!'' Koga retaliated.
"Me!''
"Me!''
"You guys, look out!'' Kagome gasped as Naraku's tentacles began to strike out at Koga and Inuyasha while they were fighting.
"Dammit!'' Inuyasha cried out as he continued to constantly dodge Naraku's attacks along with Koga.
Back to where Naraku was, Sesshomaru was continuing to strike Naraku, and was beginning to make progress destroying the tentacles when suddenly he heard the deep, dark, voice of Naraku.
"Heh-Heh, are you sure you should be here fighting me Lord Sesshmaru?''
"What are you implying?''
"It just may cost you the life of your precious girl-child.'' Naraku chuckled out evilly.
Sesshomaru stopped right in his tracks, pausing on the attack he was about to unleash as his mind started racing like crazy with images of Rin being brutally killed by demons Naraku had sent out, and he wouldn't put it past him either.
"Rin."
With that thought in mind, Sesshomaru quickly took off. Abandoning the battle with his most hated enemy and perhaps his only chance to defeat Naraku with his own hands. But he just couldn't lose Rin, he couldn't. His mother said herself when he had last visited her and he almost lost Rin to the depths of hell. Tensaiga could only work once, and after that it was useless.
"Rin, I'm coming.''
"Huh? Where the hell is Sesshomaru going? Inuyasha exclaimed loudly as he and Koga continued to dodge the tentacles while fighting them at the same time.
"Something must have happened to Rin.'' Kagome responded with a worried look on her face as she looked up at Inuyasha while he was continuing to dodge and hack away at the slimy tentacles.
"Heh, that's fine with me. I can handle Naraku by myself.''
"But Inuyasha, no matter what we do Naraku just keeps reconstructing. We need some kind of plan.''
"Feh, don't you think I know that Kagome? I'm not stupid, I already know the only way we could possibly defeat Naraku is to get to his heart.''
"Yeah, but remember Naraku absorbed that baby back into his body, ever since his incarnations all got destroyed. So there's no way to get to his heart now.''
"So, you got any other bright ideas?''
"As a matter of fact I do." Kagome smiled confidently as she explained: "I remember what Kikyo told me right before she died. On how the Shikon Jewel is the source of Naraku's power, and the Shikon Jewel is also the reason why Naraku exists in the first place.''
"Your point is?''
"Well, all we have to do is destroy the Shikon Jewel, and then everything will be over. Kikyo herself actually told me that it was her final wish to see the Shikon Jewel gone from this world. She told me she was entrusting destroying the jewel to me. And I'd like to honor her final wish.''
Kikyo, Inuyasha thought. Kagome's right, if it weren't for the jewel Kikyo would probably be living right now as an ordinary woman… That was all she wanted after all. But, will destroying the jewel really solve everything? It makes sense, though; since the jewel started everything it's only natural for it to end everything too.''
Inuyasha nodded, making up his mind. "Let's do it Kagome.''
"Are you sure, Inuyasha? I mean you won't have any regrets? You know, on how you wanted to become a full demon?''
"That doesn't matter anymore," Inuyasha softly replied. "Destroying Naraku is what's most important now.''
"Inuyasha…'' Kagome smiled gently at him, her thoughts wandering to just how much Inuyasha had grown as a person since she had first met him. The old Inuyasha would have never been okay with something like this, but just like all of them Inuyasha had changed as well.
"Let's do it Kagome, let's end the sad fate of the Jewel once and for all!''
"Right!''
Kagome raised her bow and simultaneously reached over her shoulder for an arrow. To her shock her fingertips met a single arrow; the one Kikyo had entrusted to her before the other priestess died. Yes, she could use this arrow. Kikyo specifically said that this arrow was special and imbued with her powers as well as the dirt from Onigumo's cave, making it extremely potent to Naraku. With that thought in mind, Kagome speedily took out the arrow.
Please, Kikyo, give me strength. A bright purple aura burst into radiant life around Kagome as she nocked her very last arrow and got ready to fire. Putting all her heart and soul into this last shot that would determine everything, she searched Naraku's form for the tell-tale glow of the jewel. There it is, the Shikon Jewel. Kagome aimed carefully as she let the purple light of the jewel that was inside Naraku guide her.
"Die, Naraku!!'' Kagome shouted, releasing the string with a twang. The sacred arrow, surrounded by the spirits of both Kagome and Kikyo, sped fast into Naraku like a lightning bolt. It's destination: the jewel within him.
"What?'' Naraku cried out in agony as the arrow hit him straight on the spider on his back, breaking the Shikon Jewel in the process. This time, however, the Jewel wouldn't be scattered into many tiny shards, but would actually be destroyed.
Everyone in the battle gasped as they watched Naraku slowly begin to disappear.
"Curse you, Inuyasha, Kagome.'' Naraku uttered out one final time as his body began to evaporate.
"Kagome, you did it, you did it! You destroyed both Naraku and the jewel!'' Inuyasha shouted out excitedly as he began to run towards Kagome to pull her into a victory hug. Before he could get to her, however, the sky and the whole region they were in started to turn black. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Koga began to look around worriedly.
"Monk,something's wrong.'' Sango said worriedly, glancing at Miroku to see if he had any sort of explanation.
Miroku nodded in agreement. "I know, Sango… I have a very bad feeling about this.''
Just as Inuyasha picked up Kagome, a dark menacing voice spoke up from the shadows. "I wouldn't celebrate just yet, Inuyasha.''
"What? Naraku's voice?''
Suddenly a great big purple light fell from the sky and glowed magnificently as it appeared before the group.
"Wait, that looks like…..'' Inuyasha thought worriedly.
"The Sacred Jewel! Kagome gasped out loud. "But I thought my arrow had destroyed it.''
Suddenly, the ground began to shake and an ominous black hole appeared right where the jewel was floating where it proceeded to suck both Inuyasha and Kagome into it.
"Ahhhhh, Inuyasha!
"Kagome!''
"Heh-Heh, little fools.'' A voice from deep in the darkness appeared as it guided Inuyasha and Kagome toward it.
"Naraku!'' Inuyasha yelled, immediately knowing who the voice belonged to.
"Try as you may, you will never be able to escape the fate of the jewel! It will continue to bind all of us here for eternity and I am the jewel's eternal master.''
"Wait a second… Are you saying that we're inside the jewel right now?'' Kagome asked, both frightened and awed.
"Heh, that is correct, young Kagome, and you will remain trapped here in the darkness for eternity, stuck between various dimensions, with me forever controlling your souls. You will learn that you could never overcome the power of the jewel. The jewel controls all and the cycle will continue even into your next lives!"
"What do you mean by that? Inuyasha snarled out.
"You and Kagome, as well as the jewel and I will all be reborn again, and the jewel will repeat it's sad course again. You've all lost and now the two of you will forever be under my control, under the control of Chaos.''
Chaos? Kagome thought pensively. For some reason, that name definitely sounded familiar to her.
"Not if I can help it!" Inuyasha snarled, reaching for his sword. "Huh, what the?'' Suddenly just as Inuyasha began to move, he and Kagome descended even further into the dark abyss of the jewel.
"Kagome!''
"Inuyasha!''
Their hands intertwined, but suddenly broke apart as they were sucked deeper into darkness.
1400 years later…..
"Saphir!'' A regal looking young man with shoulder length white hair perched on his throne spoke to the young blue haired man standing before him.
"Yes, Oniisan?''
"Prepare for the attack on Crystal Tokyo. We shall attack them at once.''
"Yes, Oniisan. I shall prepare the Droids immediately.''
"Very well." The white haired man waved his hand. You are dismissed.''
As soon as his younger brother Saphir had left the throne room, a hologram of a beautiful, golden haired queenappeared before him. Prince Demando of Nemesis raised a glass of wine in a mocking toast before the hologram.
He chuckled softly, "I will get everything that I want. Everything.''
Little did he know his younger brother had not left after all and was hiding in the shadows, looking upon Demando with sadness in his eyes as he watched Demando stare at the hologram longingly.
Niisan.
A/N-Alrighty, so there you have it the first chapter. Sorry if some of the scenes suck, I like really suck at battle scenes. And just so you know the whole "getting sucked into the jewel'' actually did happen at the end of the manga, but I'm just changing things around a bit. (If they had won like they did in the manga, there would be no plot lol.) Anyways, I hope the story is interesting to all of you and if you think you have an idea on who was reborn as who, tell me in your reviews. Remember, the more reviews I get the sooner I update, so keep them coming in people! Later.
