On the corner of her eye Kikyo could see that Kagura was there with her fan. She knew it wasn't them she wanted dead, but Naraku. Miasma filled the air around them, making it harder to breathe.
Sango passed Miroku, Shippo and Kagome, who had gotten up from the ground and to the battle field, a mask. Sango felt heaviness on her shoulders, her knees grew weak. She felt something pushing her down, her head turned around slowly, meeting her younger brother's eyes. "Kohaku!"
Kohaku clasped his hand onto his sister's mouth, "Shhh . . ." Kohaku pulled back his sickle then threw at Naraku.
Naraku easily blocked the attack with a swift hand movement, "Kohaku."
Kohaku stumbled forward in pain, he grabbed the spot on his back where the jewel was embedded.
"Kohaku!" Sango yelled as she grabbed her brother and gave him a tight embrace, not sure on what to do. She looked at the others desperately, as if thinking they can help in some way. Kagome ran over to them and inspected Kohaku.
Kikyo sneaked back into the temple, searching for Kagura's heart, knowing that if she had it in her possession Kagura would be free of Naraku. She searched the room Naraku was staying in and found a door in one of the closets. She slid the door open, finding a whole other room. In there she spotted a two tall vases.
"I will forever be loyal to Naraku," the small voice caused Kikyo to quickly turn around. Kanna held a small mirror in her hands, "Your soul is all I need . . ."
"Wait, Kid! I can save you from him." Kikyo said. Kanna only gripped the mirror tighter, causing Kikyo's soul to flow into the mirror. Kikyo fell onto her knees, "You can't do this . . ."
Kanna's face remained stoic, "Your soul . . .it's too much. You and Kagome are the same . . ." She gripped the mirror tighter.
Kikyo attempted standing up, " We are not the same, I can . . .. assure you." She stood up, but her legs wobbled beneath her body. She took steps toward the Kanna and her mirror, slowly.
"Part of Kohaku's soul . . .still remains here. Trapped. If you can get that soul . . .he won't need the jewel to live," her soft yet cold voice stopped and her lips formed a small smile for the first time. "Can you do this . . .?"
Kikyo looked at her unbelievingly, "I can." She took more steps and touched the mirror with the tip of her fingers. Her fingers then entered the mirror along with her whole body. As she entered, she felt her cheeks flush with life. Her soul returned to her, now all she had to do is find Kohaku's.
"You have a time limit . . ." came Kanna's voice.
"How long?" Kikyo asked as she searched for Kohaku's soul. There was no response, Kikyo grunted in frustration. There were white little boxes flowing around her. Her body began to grow weaker by the second.
Kikyo stopped floating around the souls around her. Her face lit up and she closed her eyes and stood still. Concentrate. Her eyes shot open and all the white little boxes turned into colored ones. "Back when he was with his family . . . he was really happy and cheerful. . . so his aura must be yellow. Now to look."
She got to the yellow boxes, it turned out that there was three of them.
"Kanna!" a certain raven haired fifteen year old said.
"I advise you not to shoot your arrow into the mirror . . ." Kanna said in her same cold tone of voice.
Kikyo looked back into the hole where you can see Kagome standing there with her bow and arrow. "You work for Naraku, I can't listen to you. What if it's a trick.?"
"Kagome! Don't shoot you can harm part of the souls." Kikyo yelled, but Kagome didn't seem to hear her. Her arrow seemed to be filled with hatred for Naraku, unlike her usual pure arrows. Kikyo looked back at the three yellow boxes. Her hand hovered over the them. She opened the one in the middle, carefully. A soul popped out and pulled her by the hand toward the hole where Kagome was at. Kikyo was literally dragged out of the mirror, almost scaring Kagome to death.
"Kikyo!" Kagome yelled as she ran to her side. Kikyo picked herself up, she glanced at the box in her hand as the soul returned to it. "Take this to Kohaku, his soul is inside. Hurry!"
Kagome ran to the battle field once more. Kikyo turned to Kanna then at the two vases, she grabbed the pale faced girls's arm and pulled her near the vase. She looked at the heart in disgust and grabbed it, bare handed. Light formed in Kanna's chest, Kikyo carefully pushed the heart in her chest. Kanna closed her eyes.
"Kanna?" came a voice from the door.
Kikyo smirked, "Kagura, great timing. I have an offer."
As soon as Kagome reached the siblings, she fell on her knees. "Sango! I have Kohaku's soul!"
Sango's red puffy eyes looked up at Kagome, "His soul?"
Kagome opened up the yellow box. Kohaku's soul flowed back into his body, "Onee san?" He jolted up. seeing his sister's happy face.
"Oi! Naraku!" Kagura attacked Naraku with wind, catching Naraku off guard. Some of his tentacles were blown away, but he was still alive. Kanna stood beside her, with the mirror in her small hands.
"Kagura!" Naraku yelled furiously.
Kagome ran to Inuyasha, "Now's our chance!" Kagome held up her bow and arrow and pointed it at the distracted Naraku. She let the arrow fly and was surprised to see another one fly by her's. Kikyo stood with a bow and arrow beside her with the usual smirk on her face. Kagome smiled, "Kikyo!" The two arrows hit him directly on the chest. Sango's boomerang sliced the tentacles stretching out toward Miroku and Shippo.
"Now, Inuyasha!" Kikyo shouted out to him.
Inuyasha raised his sword and ran to Naraku, "Adamant Mirage!!!!!!!" Naraku 's eyes widened as blood covered him.
"Fox fire!" Shippo shouted as little blue fire burned Naraku's hand. Miroku took out his his hand, "Wind tunnel!" Naraku's body was pulled into the hole.
"Is-is he gone?" Shippo asked, it was hard to believe.
Miroku looked at his hand, "My wind tunnel's gone." He seemed really pleased that Naraku had actually died at last.
Kagome hugged Inuyasha, "We did it!" Shippo hugged her as well, "Yes!" Sango gave out smile as she walked toward her group with Kohaku.
"Wait, where's Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked as he searched. He sniffed the air, "Her scent is no longer here."
Kikyo stood in the field, "Nee san."
"This time without you frivolous two timing boyfriend of yours, huh?" Ren looked around her sister.
Kikyo's fist tightened, "We're alone."
"Very well then," Ren jumped towards her, her katana clashed onto Kikyo's. "This time fight for real!" Kikyo got down and swung her feet at Ren's legs, almost making her fall. She did a back flip and jumped out of the way before Kikyo punched her.
Ren threw random punches at Kikyo, she easily blocked them all. Ren gave her an uppercut, catching Kikyo off guard. Kikyo fell back onto the ground, getting dragged across the floor.
She immediately jumped into the air her sword slashed down on Ren, injuring her arm. Blood trickled onto the floor, Ren paid no mind to the wound and headed for Kikyo. She managed to cut deep into Kikyo's chest. Kikyo fell on her knees and felt something up her cheek, a blade. It didn't cut really deep, but enough that it needs to be treated with alot of care.
She felt something pierce her stomach, Kikyo could feel Ren behind her. She took a look in front of her belly, clear enough she could see the end of her sister's sword.
"This is what you deserve after what you did to mother."
Kikyo felt dizzy, she quickly pierced her sword in her sister's stomach.
"You. You did that on purpose. You let me attack you so that you can do this to me . . .you were always like this anyways." Ren could feel poison from Kikyo's blade get in her. "With poison . . . too, huh?" she said weakly.
Ren fell as Kikyo dropped her sword, she closed her eyes. Kikyo was left standing alone, she then fell onto her knees then onto her injured stomach. She began closing her eyes, everything was blurry. She saw that her sister was no longer there and there was dead silence. Her hand extended to the bloody spot where Ren was before she left. Her eyelids grew heavy. She could't help, but close them.
"Kikyo!" Someone cried onto her. "Don't d-die!" Kagome and Shippo pleaded.
Sango check her pulse, "She . .. she's dead . . ." Miroku stopped mumbling some words and dropped the scroll.
"That isn't possible. Every time she dies she comes alive. That has to be the case now!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sango shook her head sadly, "Not this time."
Kagome cried onto Kikyo's chest. "She didn't tell us her other reason either!" Shippo sniffed.
