A/N: Alright a small recap: Inuyasha and Kagome had spent the entire day until sun set together. When night had fallen, Inuyasha turned human and died from the miasma telling Kagome to defeat Naraku. Sesshomaru had gone to Bokseno to find out how to destroy Naraku and found out that it has to be him and Inuyasha. When chapter 6 had finished, Sesshomaru was waiting for Bokseno to tell him how to cure Inuyasha. In this chapter the battle begins, and it shall continue through to the next chapter. Alright on with the story!
Chapter 7: The battle begins
Kagome and the others started to clear camp at day break. Surprisingly Inuyasha's body had transformed back into his half-demon self, once the sun was up.
"Kagome after the battle is over, we will come back and pay our respects to Inuyasha. I can smell Naraku from here. He is no that far off." Inutaisho growled the last part. But his eyes betrayed his real emotion. Inutaisho could break down and second. One thing they didn't know is that he can not wield any of his swords right now.
"Inutaisho how come you haven't been using your swords at all?" Kagome asked Inutaisho.
"Kagome that is because….Well Sahara what was that prophecy? Oh it said that I would come when the foe was defeated. I am not technically ALIVE yet."
"That makes sense. Wait where did Sesshomaru go?" They all looked around for Sesshomaru.
"Fluffy left. While we all were crying over Inuyasha." Belladonna stated.
"I was going to have him use the Sounga in battle….wait! Belladonna the Sounga is rightfully yours." He grabbed the Sounga and handed it to her. Belladonna's eyes were wide with surprise.
"Thank you father."
'Ha-ha! Sounga FINALLY has a new master right Ten…Tensaiga? Where are you?'
'Tetsusaiga remember Tensaiga is with Sesshomaru. So she isn't here.'
'Oh yeah. Hey Sounga remember you're the only male sword here!'
'Not exactly. When Sesshomaru comes back I will talk with his Tokijen.'
'Oh? And plot against the humans to take over the world?'
'Exactly.' They all hear Tetsusaiga sigh.
'Your STILL trying to take over the world?'
"You BET I am!' Tetsusaiga sighed again and stopped talking completely to Sounga.
"Well now that the swords are done talking, why don't we all head off and kill Naraku. Wolf you can come to I guess." That's when Ayame caught up to Koga.
"There you are Koga!" Koga grabbed Ayame.
"Ayame your coming with us into battle." Ayame then smiled wickedly.
"Sure but afterwards your coming back to the mountains with me. To get married." Koga paled when Ayame said that. But he nodded his head, giving in. Knowing that if he didn't she would continue on following him to the ends of the earth. Ayame smiled, completely oblivious to the fact that Koga only agreed because he was tired of her following him.
"Alright then! Lets go! This is for Inuyasha." Inutaisho growled. Then they all set off following Inutaisho.
(With Sesshomaru)
Sesshomaru was heading back towards the camp. Reflecting on what Bokseno had told him.
"Sesshomaru you have not found out? It's SO simple that even Tetsusaiga would know how."
"Then tell me."
"The Tensaiga, the sword of healing. Inuyasha had miasma spreading through his body, correct? Then the Tensaiga could heal him of the miasma. You must wield the Tensaiga from now on in the battle against Naraku. When Inuyasha and his group defeated Naraku the first time, he did die. But his heart lingered. So you can kill Naraku with the Tensaiga, since he is technically the living dead Lord Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru continued walking towards the camp. 'So Tensaiga, are you ready to be wielded after all this time?'
'Lord Sesshomaru, you've used me more than once before.'
'I know. But I'm meaning for an entire battle this time?'
'Yes I am Lord Sesshomaru.'
'I am glad that you are ready to be wield for once. For longer than a few seconds. Did you enjoy reviving Rin ten years ago?'
'Yes I did Lord Sesshomaru. I even enjoyed reviving Kagura nine years ago, when you found her dead.' Sesshomaru then came upon Inuyasha's dead body. He had regained his demon features at least.
'Tensaiga so I'm supposed to revive him with you?'
'I believe so. From what Bokseno said.'
"LORD SESSHOMARU! I'VE FOUND YOU!" Came a very annoying voice that belonged to Jaken.
"Jaken." Jaken stopped when he saw Inuyasha's dead body.
"How did HE die Master?" Jaken continued to stare at Inuyasha's lifeless body. Sesshomaru grabbed Tensaiga and it pulsed.
(With Kagome)
"NARAKU! This is all YOUR fault!"
"Sango now!" Sango nodded at Miroku and aimed both her hands at Naraku. She had found out that she can summon TWO wind tunnels into her right and left hands at the same time.
"Kagome get down! WIND TUNNELS!" Both of the wind tunnels formed on her hands and Naraku's eyes widened when he saw this. His barrier went up immediately. Belladonna walked over by Inutaisho.
"Father Alesandro can't get the Tetsusaiga to form. He keeps saying that the sword is telling him that he is not the one to wield it." Inutaisho walked over to Alesandro, who was panicking.
'Tetsusaiga why won't you allow Alesandro to wield you?'
'Master Inutaisho it is because Alesandro is not the one in the prophecy. Plus, Tensaiga told me to hold on a moment. Sesshomaru is coming back. She said he had brought some help.' Tetsusaiga stopped talking at that moment. Inutaisho went back over to the battle field.
"So what is wrong?" Kagome looked at Inutaisho.
"Alesandro is not the one in the prophecy. Plus, Tensaiga told her to wait for some odd reason."
"Hmm that is odd." Just then Sesshomaru's voice filled the air.
"DRAGON STRIKE!" The blue lighting stretched across the ground and struck Naraku, but did no harm to him. Sesshomaru appeared moments later with a smirk on his face for some unknown scary reason.
"Lord Sesshomaru so very nice to see you. Why are you smirking?" Naraku said coolly, as if he didn't expect something else dramatic could happen soon.
"I'm not smirking. Its called something else Naraku. Its called Smiling!" Sesshomaru yelled at Naraku.
"Fool! As if you could defeat me! I shall send you all to you demise!" Naraku laughed. Kagome then thought 'Inuyasha I guess I'm going to be joining you soon.' A memory then hit her of Inuyasha.
Flashback
Kagome sat beside Inuyasha It was the day before the final battle against Naraku.
"Inuyasha what is going to happen after the battle with Naraku?" She added in her brain 'Duh! He's going to go to hell with Kikyo.'
"I don't know Kagome. I don't plan on going to hell with Kikyo though. That's one thing I'm not doing. As long as your in the Feudal Era, I am going to protect you to my last breath. I promise you Kagome. Maybe once the battle is done, I won't act all tough and rude anymore."
End flashback
Kagome had tears in her eyes when it dawned on her that Inuyasha had indeed kept his promise. He had been technically been protecting her all that time to his last breath. Kagome then shot Naraku with one of her arrows. Her eyes widened at the amount of power in the arrow! It was ten times Kikyo's power! Kagome then fell to the ground unconscious. Another memory hit her.
Flashback
"Kagome before we begin this battle I want you to know something."
"What Inuyasha?"
"Kagome I will not let Naraku harm you during this battle. If he does my inner demon won't be able to handle it. I might transform during battle and attack anything that moves."
"So you want me to watch out?"
"Yes. This is Naraku we are talking about. He more than likely is going to harm you. But as I said earlier, I will protect you to my last breath. Which I meant to the death, Kagome." Kagome gasped.
"Inuyasha you would die for me?"
"Yes Kagome I would."
End Flashback
Kagome woke up seeing Naraku coming towards her. Her ankle was stuck in a hole, which was why she fell unconscious in the first place. She heard someone yelling.
"KAGOME!" Before she blacked out again she heard Tetsusaiga pulsing.
To be continued…….

Alright maybe it is longer than I expected, but did you guys like the Cliff hanger? Makes you wonder who is yelling her name, right? Any why is Tetsusaiga pulsing? Is it because Kagome is in danger? Oh by the way, while she was having all those memories, Inutaisho had disappeared. Don't worry he will be back AFTER the battle though. No he's not running away. Its actually a good sign that he disappeared if you understand what I mean. Also, that's if you remember the prophecy the Sahara mentioned earlier in the story. I'm giving away WAY too many hints about the next chapter! Review!
