Chapter Thirteen: It Only Took A Year
Note: By the way, the title doesn't mean a year from last chapter, but a year from when Sesshoumaru and Kagura became active with each other.
Five more months have pasted. The previous month contained the birth date of Kagura and Sesshoumaru's child. The two were sitting closely together under a tree, the child in the arms of it's mother. The wind demon cradled it, starring down at her and Sesshoumaru's creation. The child would grow and prosper to one day become a great demon, just like The Lord of The Western Lands himself.
Kagura looked up at her love and smiled cheerfully at him. Almost everything was perfect now. There was no denying that Naraku would be attacking soon though. Now was the real time to worry. But still, they didn't. Even though everything pointed to Naraku's soon attack. His finale attack. The air was filled with the scent of parched evil, drifting in every direction. The power and feel of it was over whelming.
Despite all of this, the two took comfort with each other for the time being. With Rin and Jaken looking around the corner of a tree at them, which they knew, they still didn't care. This was it. This is what mattered. This is before everything comes to an end for the good or for the bad. This is why Sesshoumaru had previously borrowed a human's hand…in case he ended up having to use that Wind Scar, if the hanyou failed.
Sesshoumaru ran his hand threw his mistress's hair and she made herself closer to him, never speaking a word of anything, just wanting the moment to last forever, and not wanting a subject to ruin it. Their chose was made. Everyone's chose was made. All seven of them were going to confront Naraku together.
The female demon brought her arm up and around, placing it on the reverse cheek to her as she leaned over kissed him.
In the distance, six figures were approaching. The six stopped, it was the Inuyasha group along with Kouga. The hanyou of the bunch stepped forward. "It's time. If we're going to do, this is the time. He has let his barrier down…obviously expecting us."
The rest of the chapter is written in Kagura's Point of View
This was going to end our lives, or end Naraku's. That bastard. Everything…I, was at peace for the time. And he decides on this now? Yeah, well I wasn't going to let him get away with that. Sesshoumaru and I formed the small alliance with the others for the time being. However, it was just until Naraku was destroyed.
Sesshoumaru and I got up. I walked over to Jaken and placed my precious baby in his arms. Together, all ten of us walked. The three who weren't going to fight staying at the back of the group. In spite of everything, I felt great fear, and I do admit it, while we were making our way to Naraku. There was still that possibility that he would kill me then and their without my chance to even try and destroy him. I didn't care to die. Well, I did…but it bothers me more that I may not have a chance to even try to kill him.
I knew this may be our last chance to be together…so I took the time by watching my love the whole time, admiring his grace and brilliance. Smiling to myself, I remembered the times we had together. Us two, and then the four of us. And then the fifth addition whom was in that toad's arms.
Everything as I knew it was soon to turn into a crazy barrage of events. None of us knew Naraku's true intentions…was he really going to fight us head on, or was there something more? Either way we could only hope for the best.
As we continued our pursuit, I noticed the others looking a bit worried too. Especially that kitsune and the exterminator. She was probably thinking about that brother of hers…if only she knew that he had gotten his memory back. No word of it could be spoken though, or that child would of surely been terminated. I kind of feel sympathy for him, seeing as what he had to do…and that look on his face after he remembered it all. Naraku…was one hell for a bastard and this just was not right.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the outskirts of where the evil was emitting. To everyone's great surprise, Naraku was already wait for us. Son of a bitch.
"Bah! Naraku, you really have some nerve coming forward like this! I am going to kill you and revenge Kikyou with my own father's fang!" That arrogant hanyou shouted.
Yes, he was strong I admit, but was he strong enough? My lover is exceptionally strong too, and why he excepting the alliance was beyond me. I like to think he didn't reject it because he was looking out for me and his new family. Either way, I was glad of it.
"Kukuku…Kagura, you think you can help them in defeating me?" That annoying laughter came…playing over and over in my head, taunting me so bitterly.
I stepped forward, glaring at him in defiance; "Of course I am going to, Naraku."
"So be it then. But don't hate me when you watch your companions die one b one in front of you! I will keep you alive until then, then watch the expression on your face when I beat your child to death!" That menacing laughter rung in my head over and over. It's one thing to threaten me. Another to threaten the others that will be fighting. And then Sesshoumaru. But going so far as to saying that he was going to show me my child's death? I would not put up with that!
Raising my fan, I cast the Fuujin no Mai on him. It failed. As I accepted it to. It was true...I am weak. There was still some things I could do to help. Sesshoumaru stepped forward, placing his true arm in front of me.
"Don't get to cocky, Kagura…" was all he said. I looked at his serious face and smiled at him as he began walking forward. The others besides the kitsune, Jaken and Rin all moved forward as well, leaving me behind for a moment. Then I began walking. Everything came down to this moment in time. Fate was going to be made here.
I looked on as I watched my love draw his great demonic blade, Toukijin. Now things were to get serious. Sesshoumaru leapt forward with immense speed, his human hand held forward in front of him while he wielded the Toukijin at an angle behind him. The man I love brought it done, striking just below his feet and sending earth everywhere.
The hanyou and monk stepped forward soon followed by the miko and wolf youkai. The exterminated just watched, clearly focused on something else…the knowledge of where her brother was.
I watched as the two brother began fighting side beside, this being the first I've seen of it. Both great blades were raised, Inuyasha sent that diamond attack thing at Naraku, which damaged his arm greatly. Either the hanyou improved, or focusing all on one body part made all the difference…possibly a little form column A and a little from B.
The wolf jumped up at Naraku, landing a firm kick on the evil's face. It did nothing to that bastard. Fuck. Why? All this…it seems physical onslaughts would be almost pointless.
I then saw that huge youkai boomerang flying out of the grasp of the exterminator, whamming straight into Naraku's stomach. It seemed as if he got the wind knocked out of him for a moment…but other than that, on real damage was made.
"Damn…" Those were the only words of the girl as her attempt failed.
"Kukuku…Sango…you wish to see your brother, don't you?" That…taunting bastard questioned, well knowing the answer. Sango glared at him, as if saying, "Shut the fuck up." Or that is at least how I'd interpret it. "I'll do you the favor of sending you to hell, and you can wait there for him!"
With that, Naraku sent a huge energy sphere towards Sango. However, that foolish monk placed himself in front of it, holding his staff across and getting hit back into the ground. As the houshi was dragged backwards by what was such power it seemed like an invisible force, the exterminator was running over to him.
"Miroku!" The young girl ran over to him as he came to a halt in the earth. I felt my eyes widening as I now saw to what extent something could happen here. This was wrong. We were fighting for the per cause to kill. Naraku will burn in hell for doing this to all of us.
While the exterminator threw herself over the monk, small tears fell from her. "Miroku! You idiot!" The exterminator hit him in the chest. The monk twitched at this.
"Hey…I'm not dead yet, mind you…" Was all he said as Sango looked at his face. He smiled to her. He may not be dead, but he'd be out of this fight for the good while.
I turned my attention back to that of the wolf and the two brothers. Every attack made contact…but every attack did almost nothing. What would it take for this half demon to die?!
As I was thinking these words, a shining light flew past me and was heading for Naraku. The arrow missed however, as the half demon moved out of the way. The smirk played on his face. Every attempt
wasn't working…I decided to join my love in battle.
I made my way and stood beside him. It seemed as if he wanted to protest but I shut him up by giving him the best kiss he'll ever know. All my kisses were like that. And he better know it, and you better believe it.
As we stood together, we squared off, facing Naraku. While this was happening, the wolf demon Kouga was flung aside and out of the way. The monk also seemed to be recovering as he sat himself up, with the help of the exterminator. Now I must end my talk with you, for it is my time to focus myself on this bitter battle. Keep in mind, I do posses the best kiss in the word! Heh…heh.
