Chapter Twelve

The Decision

"Yes I suppose we could have Naraku, but as you can see that is not going to happen." Serena said to Naraku.

"So you wish to destroy me is that it. May I suggest that this is just between the two of us then?" Naraku said while devising a plan in order to kill her.

Serena looked behind her Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were ready to strike at any moment.

"As you wish Naraku!" Serena stated as she put up a barrier that no one could break into.

"Is she crazy Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked his older brother. The others all came running. Sesshomaru just looked towards his sister with her back to every one.

"One on one" Naraku said with a smirk.

"Yes Naraku one on one. You were the one who started this web of tragedy playing with people's hearts and emotions not to mention there lives and now it will end at my hand."

Serena stated to the evil that stood before her. Then with a smirk Naraku spoke.

"You think that you are going to defeat me when your brother Sesshomaru and his brother Inuyasha and his friends haven't defeated me yet. You make me laugh princess."

Naraku said too her as he sent a tentacle from his arm.

"Serena!!!" Amara yelled as she pounded on the barrier.

In a flash Serena was gone and out of sight then landing as a sailor solider she sliced Naraku's tentacle that tried to end her life just now.

"You're faster than what I thought you were." Naraku said to her grinning.

"That's the problem with every one they think they know me so well but they don't now let's end this." Serena voiced to Naraku. It was then she held her scepter turning it into a sword that glowed with the power of the silver crystal.

The others out side watched knowing that is all they could do neither Kagome or Miroku could break the barrier. The battle seemed to go on for hours then it happened Naraku got the upper hand throwing her against the barrier screaming in pain.

"Serena!!!" every one screamed at her seeing Naraku grinning and getting closer to her for the kill. Rennie fell to her knees next to Serena that had fallen.

"Get up mama please you have to get up now!!" Rennie yelled at Serena to get up.

"Ah Serena I didn't know she was your daughter?" Naraku said to Serena as he picked her up grinning that he had the victory then Serena's eyes opened her trusting the sword into his stomach his eyes widening.

"No one threatens my family Naraku." Serena said as she was dropped she watched him back away then fall to the ground she stood up and was going to retrieve he sword when she realized he wasn't dead yet and watched him stand up laughing.

"I told you that you couldn't kill me." Naraku said with a laugh.

Serena then knew that she had no choice in what she had to do next. A light surrounded her Naraku wondering what she was about to do when the light was gone there before him stood Neo Queen Serenity. When she opened her eyes she then spoke.

"If this is the only way that I can defeat you Naraku then so be it."

Amara looked at Darien. "She can't do that not here not now what is she thinking she'll destroy us all!" Amara said leaving every one looking at her.

"What is she going to do?" Sango asked.

"She's going to release all her power to destroy Naraku." Darien replied to her question.

"Hmm that is why she put up the barrier it wasn't so we couldn't help her but to protect us from what she had planned this whole time." Sesshomaru spoke to them.

"But if she had this planed then why didn't she just kill him like this off from the start."

Inuyasha spoke to his brother.

Every one was shocked at knowing this sudden truth. Could it be that there Serena planned on right out killing him then why would it seem that she was about to loose to him this part didn't make sense to a select few around watching what was happening inside the barrier.

Serenity was standing there with the crystal held out in front of her it was glowing pink then with an outer glow of a clear silver glow.

"Die Naraku!" she said as a beam of light flew at him. Naraku in turn put up his own barrier which she was not excepting she held her position till her power seemed as if were going to break his barrier it was the Naraku took advantage of her striking her at the side she barely escaped his attack it was clear she would now have no choice in releasing the entirety of her power she never once faltered in falling to the ground she stood tall and proud the whole time she was not going to leave this fight till it was over she would finish this for her brother for all those that have been hurt by this monster he even threatened her own. She smiled at Naraku then closed her eyes mentally preparing saying her good bye's to all she cared for and apologizing to them and hoped that they would understand in her decision she was a peace. Naraku then took his chance then her eyes opened she turned her head with a tears streaming down her face again closing her eyes.

"I'm sorry" were her last words when Naraku pierced straight through her in him doing this a light enveloped the entire barrier with so much power that the barrier busted open throwing every one back.

When the light faded and the dust cleared all that was left was the silver crystal the glow was gone the brightness that gave it its power was gone it was Sesshomaru that picked it up in his hand then looked around Darien walked up beside him.

"She's gone isn't she?" Darien asked him Sesshomaru closed his eyes as closed his hand around the crystal that claimed his sister's life.

"Sesshomaru this was Naraku's fault not the crystals." Darien said to him as there eyes locked it was then they both heard a scream they turned to see Rennie she was disappearing this was making it a final thing that Serena was really Dead this time and nothing was going to bring her back.

It was days later Darien and Amara were still around not wanting to believe that their princess was gone their future was now gone they spent most of the time moping around they didn't want to go back to face every one right away.

Sesshomaru was still around he to was dealing with this very hard.

Inuyasha and Kagome saw him down bye the river while out walking they went up to him Inuyasha approached Sesshomaru.

"So Sesshomaru how you doing?" He asked his brother concerned he saw that he was still holding the crystal in his had.

Sesshomaru looked in his direction sadness in his eyes staying silent.

"Hey Sesshomaru I want you to know that I am really sorry about your sister she didn't deserve to die like that." Inuyasha spoke Kagome was shocked along with Sesshomaru.

"No she didn't." Sesshomaru spoke.

"Sesshomaru don't you find it odd that your able to hold the crystal?" The question blurted out of Kagome's mouth.

"I had not thought about it Kagome." He spoke to her.

"Look I have given this a lot of thought Sesshomaru I still have the Shikon jewel and I can still make a wish, I can wish her back." Kagome said to him not looking at him.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome then at Sesshomaru. ("Why would she offer that to him?")

He wondered then Sesshomaru walking in front of Kagome.

"Tell me Kagome what was the real reason she did what she did?" The words had escaped his mouth wanting the answer he had been seeking. "I know that you know you were able to see and feel parts from her soul please tell me." He said with pleading eyes.

("Wow did Sesshomaru just say please?") Inuyasha thought to himself.

"I don't think that you really want to know that?" She replied to him.

"Don't tell me you really could Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her in disbelief.

"But I'll tell you… She chose that way because one she was still warring with in herself and she wanted it to end. She also knew deep down it was the only way Naraku would be destroyed once and for all she wanted to do it for you Sesshomaru if it were not for him you and Inuyasha would have been the brothers you should have been." As she said those last words the two looked at her Inuyasha not remembering anything past when he was pinned to the tree fifty years ago.

"If it were not for him Deceiving Inuyasha and Kikiyo fifty years ago you Sesshomaru would not have turned against him you had sent Jacken to get him to fight against the Cat tribe when Jacken returned to you and told you what happened that's when you feud began with one another." With that Kagome left the two standing there she wanted to get away from them both and clear her head as she spoke the words it was like she could see what had happened and didn't wish to get rid of the images.

The brothers watched her walk away both worried about her she looked pale.

"I regret my question now." Sesshomaru said still watching her walk away.

"What the heck is wrong with you any way?" Inuyasha yelled at him.

"Serena wasn't the only one suffering Kagome was to and every one was blind to that fact she still suffers she saw everything that Naraku did to all those dear to her." Sesshomaru said to Inuyasha then walked away. "I'm sorry things turned out the way they did Inuyasha." He said as he continued walking.

Another two days went bye for the group and Kagome still weighed the decision of making the wish to bring her back.

So how Inuyasha was spending time with Amara leaving Kagome open and free to spend time with Sesshomaru.

Sango, Kirara, Shippou and Miroku were walking back from another near by village when they came across who they thought to be Inuyasha and Kagome as they got closer they saw that who they thought was Inuyasha was bent down kissing Kagome they planned on giving the two a hard time then they realized it wasn't Inuyasha but Sesshomaru they stood there in utter shock they then witnessed Kagome pull away in embracement she turned away.

"I know you love my brother don't you?" Sesshomaru asked her as the others were now hiding themselves not knowing how to deal with this information.
