Reincarnated Souls
Monday
"Kagome, are you alright? You look awful!"
Giving a tired smile, Kagome gave the thumbs-up sign to one of her friends. "Yeah, I just didn't get too much sleep these past couple of nights."
The bell rang, and a determined Kagome puffed up her chest. 'Okay, I didn't study nonstop for two days for nothing!' She thought, and confidently walked into school, ready for the test that would take half the school day. (A/N: Yeah, I had those tests this past school year, but some of you guys might not have, since these were only for the state of Hawaii. Not the SATs, something else called HCPs.)
***************
'What the hell?' Inuyasha sniffed the air again, unsure if he had smelled right the first time. He caught the scent of Naraku, and this time there was no mistaking it. Dropping down from the tree he had been resting in, he slashed it down with his claws and stuffed it in the Bone Eater's Well. 'Don't want Kagome coming back in the middle of a battle.' He thought, then went to find the others.
Before he could get very far, he saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara coming towards him. Sango was in her battle outfit, so Inuyasha knew they were alert about Naraku.
"Inuyasha! I sensed youkai!" Miroku called out, stopping a few feet away from the hanyou.
Sniffing, Inuyasha nodded. "It's not just any youkai, it's Naraku."
Sango looked alarmed. "Do you think it's really him? Or is it another one of his golems?"
"No, it's really him. I sense demonic aura, and whenever it's his golems, there's not a trace of evil around." Miroku said, gripping his staff tighter.
Inuyasha put his hand on Tetsusaiga's hilt, and Sango prepared herself also, bringing Hiraikotsu up in a fighting stance.
"Shippo! Go with Kirara and alert Lady Kaede and the villagers of Naraku's presence!" Sango called out.
"Okay!" The kitsune jumped onto the back of a transformed Kirara, and they made their way towards the village.
Miroku noticed the tree stuffed into the well and looked questioningly at Inuyasha. "What's that for?
"I don't want Kagome coming back in the middle of a fight with Naraku." Inuyasha snapped back, turning slightly pink.
Sango smiled slightly, and looked at Miroku who was also grinning, and they shared a look before Sango blushed and looked away.
Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga and waved the giant fang blade around, and then held it in front of him in both an offensive and defensive stance. "He's coming." He growled.
"Ah, your nose and ears do not fail you, do they, Inuyasha?" Naraku's cold voice said.
"Where are you, bastard?!"
"Right here." Without warning, an arrow came flying out of nowhere and barely missed Inuyasha, who managed to dodge it thanks to his amazingly fast reflexes.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango threw her weapon with all her might at the trees in front of them where Naraku was hiding. It cleared a path, and Naraku jumped out in time to avoid the boomerang, which returned to Sango.
Landing in front of the trio, Naraku smiled evilly. "Nicely done, Madame exterminator. Your father would be very proud. Too bad he's rotting in hell as we speak."
"Bastard." Sango glared at him. "You should be the one rotting in hell!"
"Don't worry, Sango. He will be!" Miroku yelled, loosening his prayer beads.
Inuyasha's ears picked up the sound of faint buzzing, and stopped Mirouku. "Don't, monk. He has the hell wasps (damn, I can't remember the name) close by."
Miroku nodded and reluctantly resealed the prayer beads. "You coward, Naraku. You hide behind little insects."
"And you are a coward because you are afraid of little insects." Naraku said coolly. "Enough of this! I have come to claim your jewel shards once and for all!"
Inuyasha sneered. "And what, you think we're just gonna hand 'em over to you? You're even stupider than I thought!"
Raising Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha tried to unleash a Kaze no Kizu on Naraku, but stopped when a blast of poison vapors hit him full on in the eyes, blinding him. He dropped to his knees, holding his face in his hands. "Dammit!"
Naraku smirked. "Painful, isn't it, Inuyasha?"
"Not as painful as this!" Miroku yelled, as he slammed his staff down on Naraku's head, but stared when the demon didn't even flinch.
Producing a katana from inside of his baboon pelt, Naraku jammed the hilt into Miroku's stomach and kicked him in the face. He smiled mockingly when Miroku went flying and landed in a heap a couple of feet away. "Is that the kind of pain you meant, monk?"
Sango ran to Miroku, making sure he was all right. "Houshi-sama!"
"I'm fine, Sango." Miroku said, spitting out some blood. He tried to stand, but clutched his stomach in pain. "Give me a minute."
"Okay." Sango glanced unsurely at him, but went to take her stand in front of Naraku.
"Well, now, isn't this ironic." Naraku said. "The very girl who once fought for me is now fighting against me."
"You deceived me. That's the only reason I ever fought for you! Hiraikotsu!" Sango sent the giant boomerang flying directly towards Naraku, but he avoided it easily and ran at her with the katana in his hand.
Drawing her own katana, Sango rushed at him and met him halfway in a clash of blades connecting. She matched him strike for strike, but lost her balance and fell backwards. Naraku knocked her sword away, and brought his down in a straight line, intending to slice Sango in half.
"Blades of Blood!" Red blades came flying at Naraku, forcing him to back away from Sango. Inuyasha still had his hand outstretched from his previous attack, blood running down his cheeks from his eyes. "Did you forget about me already, bastard?"
"Heh. How could I? Didn't your mother ever teach you that it's not fair to fight three against one?" Naraku said.
Miroku stood next to Inuyasha, his stomach still throbbing. "Since when do you fight fair?"
"Fool. You really think I would fight you alone?" Naraku said, and bright white lights started to glow in the forest behind him.
Helping Sango up, Miroku's eyes grew wide." There're youkai in there, Inyasha."
"I know. I can smell 'em from here." Inuyasha bent down and picked up Tetsusaiga.
Naraku smirked. "Demons! Come and do my bidding! Destroy these weaklings now!"
Countless demons of various kinds poured out into the clearing. There were dragon demons, giant centipedes, ogres, wolf demons, and others who were so ugly they couldn't be identified.
"Kaze no Kizu!" Inuyasha brought down hundreds of demons at a time while Sango cut down many with Hiraikotsu and Miroku smashed down his fair share with his staff and killed others with ofudas, but more and more demons kept coming.
"Damn." Sango gasped, exhausted from throwing her heavy weapon repeatedly. She saw even Inuyasha was beginning to tire, but she couldn't see Miroku. "Houshi-sama?" she called out.
"Sango, Inuyasha! Get out of my path! I'm going to unleash my wind tunnel!"
Looking up into the trees, Inuyasha saw Miroku standing on a branch holding the prayer beads, ready to rip them off of his arm.
"You can't, Houshi-sama! Naraku's insects are still in the area!"
Inuyasha grabbed her around the waist and jumped into a tree beside Miroku's. "There's no other choice, Sango. There are just too many for us to handle with our weapons.
Sango bit her lip as she watched Miroku unveil his hand, and demons started to get sucked into it. After a couple of seconds, the hell wasps appeared and flew into his hand.
Beads of sweat ran down Miroku's face, and he braced himself against the trunk.
"I-I'm sorry. I can't take any m-more in.." Miroku choked out, and fell to the ground.
Inuyasha, carrying Sango, jumped down next to the unconscious monk and checked his breathing. "Sango, you take care of him."
"What about you?"
"I'm getting Naraku."
Inuyasha noticed the demons had disappeared, and Naraku stood by himself, smiling evilly. "That was a setup, wasn't it? You had all of those demons come just so you could get Miroku out of the way?!"
"It's good to know you have some brain cells, Inuyasha. Look at him. There's no way he'll survive that. But you won't have to mourn him, since you'll be dying shortly also." Naraku shot out poison vapors to surround Inuyasha and the others.
Inuyasha covered his face with his sleeve. 'Dammit.'
"Fox fire!" Blue flames covered Naraku's head, but he shook them off without another thought.
Shippo and Kirara landed in front of Naraku. Kirara growled at him, but collapsed when she smelled the poisonous air. Shippo fell off her back, but got up quickly.
Naraku sliced his sword across Shippo's chest, and the kitsune cried out in pain.
"Shippo!" Inuyasha scooped him and the kitten-sized Kirara up, and went back to Miroku and Sango.
Sango had Miroku's head in her lap, and she had put her poison filter mask on. Her eyes widened when she saw Shippo. "What happened?"
"Naraku." Inuyasha growled. He watched as Shippo struggled to breath, and seemed to whisper something. "What did you say?"
"I w-wish K-Kagome was here with us, I-Inuyasha." He said, then closed his eyes for the last time.
"No!" Sango shook the fox, but there was no response.
Inuyasha looked around. Miroku was gaining consciousness, but deadly poison still flowed in his veins. Sango was trying to help him by putting her gas mask on his face, so she was breathing in the poisonous air. Kirara was unconscious, and Shippo..Shippo was dead. 'We're not gonna win this time.' He thought numbly.
He gripped the jewel shard Kagome had given him. 'We won't win this battle, but I'll be damned if I let Naraku get what he wants!'
"Sango! I'll be right back!" he called out, then ran off towards the village.
**************
"Kaede! Where are you, you old hag?!"
"I'm right here, Inuyasha. There's no need for ye to shout."
"Listen. Tomorrow, go into the forest. You'll see our bodies there."
Kaede's eye widened. "What are you talking-
Inuyasha interrupted her. "Just listen! Burn our bodies. The same way you burned Kikyo's. Don't remove the tree in the well. Do you understand?"
"Aye. I understand, Inuyasha, but what on Earth are you talking about?"
"There's no time to explain. Just do it!" Inuyasha yelled, and ran back to the forest.
*************
"San-Sango?" Miroku whispered.
"I'm right here."
"What happened?" He tried to sit up, but fell back onto Sango's lap.
"We're not going to make it."
"Oh. Look....Sango, I never told you."
"I knew. Don't worry, I knew." Sango bent down and kissed his forehead.
"Good." Miroku took her hand and prepared to die.
Inuyasha came back and faced Naraku. "We are all going to die here." He said, almost cockily.
"I know that, fool. I planned it this way."
Starting to choke on the poisonous air, Inuyasha smiled. "But you'll never get all of the jewel shards, and that's worth dying for."
Naraku frowned. "Humph. Just knowing you're dead will be enough for me." He faded into the forest, leaving the group trapped in his poison miasma.
Sango lay down next to Miroku, still holding his hand. She brought Shippo and Kirara next to them, and closed her eyes.
Inuyasha stumbled over to the well and sat next to it. 'I promise we'll meet again, Kagome. I still have this jewel shard, and I'll never let it out of my sight until I can put it in your hands myself.' He thought, holding the shard close to his heart. 'Until then, don't cry over me.' Drawing one last breath, Inuyasha fell in to the darkness until everything faded into black.
***************
'What the heck?' Kagome jumped as the jewel began to glow brightly, shining through her school uniform. She had been sitting at her desk, still trying to figure out a certain question, when all of a sudden, a kind of jolt spread through her body. And now the jewel was glowing brighter than it ever did before.
"Kagome, I think your necklace is glowing." Her friend Miyoko whispered to her.
Kagome forced a smile. "Yeah, um, it's a new kind of mood necklace, and it's supposed to glow whenever I feel nervous."
"Oh, okay." Miyoko turned back to her paper.
'I hope nothing happened to Inuyasha and the others.' She thought, biting her bottom lip anxiously. 'I have to make sure.' Raising her hand, she called out, "Sensei?"
Her teacher looked up. "Yes, Higurashi?"
"May I be excused? I'm not feeling too well and I can retake the test later." Kagome said, trying her best to look tired, which wasn't too hard seeing as how she really was exhausted.
Sighing, the teacher nodded. "Very well, Higurashi. I'll write you a pass." He said, used to Kagome's common sickly health.
"Arigato, Sensei." Kagome walked up to his desk, trying to hunch over and look as sick as possible. She exchanged her test paper for a pass, and went out the door.
As soon as she was in the hallway, she went running to the office, pausing to look sick again as she handed the receptionist the pass. But she ran as fast as she could once she exited the office.
**************
Kagome's mom looked up as she heard the pounding of feet up the shrine steps. Peering out the window, she saw Kagome running straight to the well house. 'That's strange, I thought Kagome said she was going to stay for a few more days this morning.'
Kagome shoved the well house's door open with all her might, causing it to create a loud BAM, provoking her grandfather to come yelling. Ignoring him, she ran to the well and jumped in. When she hit the bottom she looked up, and was shocked to see the ceiling staring back at her. 'That jerk, Inuyasha! I'll bet he sealed the well again!' She thought, glaring at the soil she was standing on. Her glare quickly turned into a frown, though. 'But why would he seal it? He wanted me back as soon as possible so I could help look for more shards.' She gasped, covering her mouth. 'What if something happened? The jewel never glowed like that before, and I had given them the shards so we could be connected. What if they were hurt or.or'
Tears came to Kagome's eyes, and she didn't even know why. She sank to her knees, covering her face. "Please, Inuyasha. Please come and get me." She sobbed, tears dropping onto the well floor. "Just let me see you again.all of you."
