Me: Okay, so I decided that I'm going to have this "A New Life" series. Sounds good? Good.
Inuyasha: I dunno. Souls of the Dead kinda sounded weird.
Me: Yeah and then I realized it had nothing to do with the dead!! Hahaha....(sheepish smile) (cough cough)
Inuyasha: o.o
#%#%#%
Naomi gasped as Naraku chuckled.
"Fool. Even the girl can't master her powers. What makes you think you can?"
"I..I.." Naomi couldn't talk but started to back away.
Naraku came closer and reached out to Naomi and picked her up by the arm. Naomi gulped.
Eww, he's touching me, Kagome whined in her head.
Naraku's other hand wrapped around her neck and pressed tightly against her skin. Naomi struggled to breathe, but couldn't manage. Soon she felt her body grow weak and..
"No!" Naraku yelled as an arrow came flying through and cutting off his hand. He turned his head. "What?"
Naomi let out a small cry as she hit the ground, gasping for air. What was that? Kagome thought rubbing her neck and looking around.
"Kikyou!"
Naomi looked up and struggled to her feet. Kikyou? Where?
She ran over to Sango and Miroku. "Where's Kikyou?" she asked.
"Over there." said Miroku. Naomi followed his gaze and saw Kikyou in the position as she just fired an arrow.
"You bitch." Naraku said as his hand grew back. "Naraku." said Kikyou coldly. "You cruel beast. How dare you." she pulled out another arrpw amd launched it, but Naraku dodged it.
"What happened?" Asked Naomi.
Kikyou pulled out another arrow and aimed it at Naraku. "He killed a whole village just to steal their souls. Maybe even more."
Naomi widened her eyes.
Souls must make him more powerful.
Kikyou fired another arrow.
"Idiot." Naraku said as a barrior came and blocked the arrow. "I shall teach you to never mess with me again." he held out his hand and a light blue ray of light came shooting out at Kikyou. Naomi couldn't see what was happening, but when the light cleared out, Kikyou was gone.
"Wh-what did you do?" stammered Naomi.
Naraku grinned. "She deserved it."
Naomi screamed as she felt a slash skim her back. She looked behind her and saw Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha." Naomi breathed. "No."
"I'll take care of him Kagome-chan." Sango said as she started fighting him off with her Hiraikotsu. Miroku grabbed her wrist.
"We must take care of Naraku. Right now Inuyasha can't cause much damage without the Tetsusaiga, but we should hold onto it in case he gets in reach of it."
Naomi nodded and picked up the Tetsusaiga.
She gasped as she head Sango scream.
"Sango-chan!" Naomi cried as she turned around and saw Sango up against a tree, unconcious.
"Inuyasha, what did you do?" Miroku said, moving towards Sango.
Inuyasha didn't respond, but inched closer to Naomi.
"Run!" Miroku called. Noami nodded and started to run.
"I must revive Sango." Miroku said, determained as he moved his hand behind her.
"Hentai!" Sango screamed as she woke up and him on the head.
"Well at least your awake." Miroku said, rubbing the big bump on his head.
Inuyasha started to chase after Naomi.
He must want the Tetsusaiga, Kagome thought gripping the sword tightly. I can't let him have it.
Inuyasha ran fast and he caught up Naomi and reached his hand out to grab the sword, but only managed to take off the sheathe.
He threw it to the ground and ran towards Naomi again.
He stopped as a sword was thrown to him.
"Use this to kill her." Naraku said. Inuyasha gripped the sword tightly and jumped into the air and swung the sword down hard. Naomi screamed as she pulled out the Tetsusaiga and tried to block the attack.
It's no use, she thought. It's so old and rusty, it will break!
But to her surprise it transformed in her hands.
"What?" she murmured under her breath. She stood to her feet and took a swing at Inuyasha, chopping his sword in half.
"She wields the Tetsusaiga!" Myouga cried, jumping out of a bush.
"I won't even ask." Miroku said, seeing Myouga.
"Naraku!" screamed Naomi, pointing the sword at him. "You're dead!" she ran towards him at swung the sword hand, chopping parts of him off, but they only grew back.
"He's regenerating." Sango observed. "It's those souls he has. Without them, he'd be a goner by now."
"We have to remove the souls." Miroku said. "But how?"
"Mere trash cannot defeat me." Naraku said, sending a beam of light towards Naomi and blasting her back. Inuyasha walked up behind her and held out his claw.
"No!" Miroku yelled running towards him. He took out his staff and hit Inuyasha on the head, knocking him unconcious.
"Will he be alright?" asked Sango.
"He's just unconcious. Nothing bad." Miroku explained.
How? Naomi thought looking at the sword in her hands. How can I beat him?
She gasped as she heard a scream of fury. She looked behind her and saw Kikyou, surrounded by her soul collectors.
"You're alive?!" Naraku yelled.
"Silence." breathed Kikyou. Her soul collectors floated forward and all of them wrapped their bodies around Naraku and he started to glow a pearly white colour, then many orbs of light came out of his body and started to fly all around.
"What's happening?" Sango asked.
"The soul collectors are forcing the souls he stole out. And they're being returned to their owners." Miroku said, watching the sight. He back away as he saw Inuyasha's body move, but then it stopped moving.
Soon Naraku gasped. He started to back away.
"How-how dare you!" Naraku spat at Kikyou. "You stole away my powers."
Kikyou pulled out an arrow and aimed it at him.
"Now you are powerless." she said, and fired it, but Naraku dodged it and disapeared.
"I will be back!" his voice echoed.
Kikyou held out her hand as two small pearls landed in the palm of her hand. She walked over to Miroku.
"Here." she said, putting one of the pearls in his left hand. "This is Inuyasha's soul." he held out his other hand and she dropped the pearl in the other. "And this one belongs to the girl. Take care of them." she said giving them one last glace, then walking away.
Miroku gave Naomi's pearl to Sango. "You should do it." he said. Sango nodded and took it from Miroku. She walked over to Naomi's body.
"Kagome-chan." she said softly. "It's time."
But Naomi stopped and didn't move. But she dropped the sword and started to run.
"Hey-wait!" Sango cried. She turned to Miroku.
"Go catch up to her. I'll take care of Inuyasha." Sango nodded and started to run after Naomi's body, the pearl clutched tightly in her hand.
What are you doing Kagome-chan? She thought. She gasped as she came to a realization. She doesn't want to go back. She wants to live life again. She started to run faster and leaped onto Naomi's body.
"What are you doing? Sango-chan get off of me!" Naomi screamed, trying to struggle out of Sango's grasp.
"Kagome-chan." Sango said with watering eyes. She leaned forward and hugged her.
Naomi gasped.
"You have to go back Kagome-chan!" she said, crying. "It's not right! You have to go back!"
Naomi stopped stuggling and Sango allowed her to go out. She sat down and stared at the ground.
"Are you saying, you want me to die?" Naomi asked, her voice caught in a sob.
Sango gasped and hugged Naomi again.
"Kagome-chan. You had no idea how I felt like when I found out that you died. I wanted to kill myself because I knew that so many people I loved were being taken away from me." Sango let go of Kagome and stared at her in the eye.
"I know you weren't replce." she continued. "But this isn't your body. It's not right. You have to return it, to its rightful owner."
Naomi lowered her head.
"I'm sorry Sango-chan. You're right." she closed her eyes and a glow escaped her body as her spirit slipped out and Naomi's body slumped back.
"Kagome...." Sango's voice trailed off as she stared at her ghost.
"Good-bye Sango." Kagome said, leaning forward to give Sango a hug.
"Good-bye Kagome-chan." Sango said with a tear in her eye. Kagome gave her a warm smile and waved good bye as she faded away.
"This is it." Sango said, holding up the small pearl. She held it in her hands as it started to float and changed into a silver mist. She held it over Naomi's face as it was sucked in through her mouth.
Everything went silent.
Then Naomi slowly opened her eyes. She blinked and looked around and sat up straight.
"Where am I?" she cried, looking around. "Who are you? Wh-where's Inuyasha?"
Sango put a hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to worry about anything anymore."
Naomi stared at her, but then stood up as she heard a scream.
"Houshi-sama!" Sango cried.
"What?" Naomi asked, still dazed.
"Follow me." Sango said running towards Miroku and Inuyasha.
They stopped short when they saw Inuyasha awake, but Miroku on the ground unconcious with a pool of crimson blood under his head, his left hand tightly balled.
"Inuyasha?" Naomi asked. "Why?!"
Inuyasha smirked.
"I'm not Inuyasha."

Me: WAHHHHHHH!! Inu hurt Miroku!!
Inuyasha: HEY!! He said, that that's not me!
Me: But you still hurt him!! WAHHHHHHH!!

Miroku: How dare you call me dead!
Me: YAYYYYYY!! Miroku's alive!!
Inuyasha: Did she stop crying?!
Me: Or...AHHHHH!! He's come back from the dead! (hops in Inuyasha's arms)
Miroku: What? Hey! That's not fair!
Me: AHHHHHH!! MIROKU'S A LIVING DEAD PERSON!! AHHHHHHHHH!!
Inuyasha: Demon be gone! (hits Miroku on the head)
Miroku: x.X Ohh...I see pretty flying girls.
