Chapter 20: Sakura Hime vs Naraku

"The one I want to fight is you, Naraku!" Kagome shouted as she pointed her Chizakura at the evil man across the clearing.

"Are you sure you're strong enough to take me on?" Naraku asked the young girl.

"Yeah."

"Sakura, you can beat him!" Hazuki called out.

"Show him no mercy!" Ayame yelled.

The evil man chuckled slightly. "Very well then, show me what you're made of, Sakura Hime."

Suddenly, over a dozen of tentacles shot out of Naraku, all making their way to the silver haired miko. Not wasting any time, Kagome charged at the tentacles. When she was close enough, she sliced up the tentacles with her sword. All of the tentacles fell to the ground in pieces.

"Is that the best you've got?" Kagome asked.

"I'm just getting started." Naraku replied.

Then a snake demon shot out of the evil man. Kagome easily sliced the demon in two when it reached her. Suddenly, while she was distracted, tentacles wrapped themselves around her waist, wrists, and ankles.

"Sakura!" everyone yelled when they saw the warrior princess being lifted into the air.

Kagome grunted as she struggled against the tentacles that were restraining her.

"Now, is that the best you've got?" Naraku asked, mocking the young miko.

"Let her go!" Inuyasha demanded as he came and slashed the tentacles with his sword.

The silvery haired female warrior landed gracefully on the ground below.

"Thanks, Inuyasha, I owe you one." she thanked the half-demon. She turned to the evil demon. "It's payback time." she raised her Chizakura above her head, her sword's blade starting to glow pink. "Purifying Cherry Blossoms!" she yelled as she slashed the katana in Naraku's direction.

Soon, a dozen cherry blossoms, glowing pink with purifying energy, came out of the sword. The evil man cried out in pain when the cherry blossoms came in contact with him, purifying parts of his body.

"You wench!" Naraku yelled as he glared at the young miko.

Soon, more tentacles came out of him. Kagome quickly sliced them up with her Chizakura. Then, out of nowhere, a tentacle had hit her in the back and sent her flying. Before she recover, Kagome was beaten repeatedly with over a dozen tentacles.

"No, Sakura!" Asagiri shouted when she saw her friend getting beaten to a pulp.

The fifteen year old fell to her knees, covered in bruises, some of her blood was escaping from her wounds.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Hazuki asked as she rushed over to the female warrior.

"Yeah, just need to catch my breath." Kagome replied, panting heavily.

The little witch glared at the Naraku. "You monster!" she yelled. Then the ten year old held up her hands and pointed them in the evil man's direction. "Fire Snake!"

Suddenly, a flame shot out of her hand. The flame soon took the form of a snake. The snake made of fire hurled it's way to Naraku. The evil demon man cried out in pain when the fire snake made contact with his shoulder, burning him.

"How dare you!" Naraku yelled angrily.

Then a dark purple fog came out of the evil man's body.

"Miasma!" Kagome yelled. "Everyone cover you're mouths." she shouted to everyone. The young miko grabbed the little witch and pulled her close to her chest, trying not to get her to breath in the poisonous fog. 'What do I do?!' Kagome thought to herself, holding a hand to her mouth. 'I can't summon my Sakura Fan without breathing in the miasma.' the young miko looked over to her friends, who were trying not to breath in the miasma. 'Everyone... Everyone will die if I don't do something. Pegasus, if you can hear me, please, please help me save my dear friends!'

Suddenly, there was a bright white light from above. Then, much to everyone's surprise, the miasma started to disappear.

"The miasma is disappearing." Kagome stated the obvious.

"Not only that, Sakura, your wounds are healing, too." Hazuki said.

The warrior princess looked and saw that her wounds had been healed, almost like they were never there.

"Who on earth did this?!" Naraku demanded.

Then there was loud neighing sound. A sound that made Kagome's heart fill with relief and happiness.

"A flying horse?!" Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo yelled in shocked unison, staring wide-eyed at the large winged mammal in the air.

'So that's Pegasus...' Sango thought, amazed by the beautiful creature.

'So, you finally make an appearance, old friend.' Watanuki thought, giving a small, dog-like, smile.

The white flying horse landed in front of the silvery haired miko and little witch. "Are you alright, milady?" he asked.

"He can talk, too?!" the small fox demon asked in shock.

"I think I've just seen, and heard, about everything." the black haired monk commented.

"Am I dreaming right now?" the half-demon asked himself.

"I'm fine, Pegasus, thanks to you." Kagome, now standing up, said to her friend.

"It was no problem." Pegasus told her. "I'm just glad that you're not hurt."

"This creature..." Naraku said, staring at the winged mammal with slight interest. "Could it be that it's the source of your powers?" he asked, smirking evilly.

Suddenly, several tentacles shot out of the evil demon. Kagome gasped in shock when the tentacles wrapped around Pegasus's body and legs.

"Maybe I should use some of that power." Naraku chuckled darkly as he pulled the winged horse towards him.

'Kagome, stop him!' Watanuki yelled in the young girl's mind. 'If Naraku absorbs Pegasus, there is no telling how much power he'll get!'

'You don't have to tell me twice!' Kagome said back to the small canine mentally.

Then the warrior princess quickly charged at the evil demon's tentacles, ready to slice them with her Chizakura.

"I don't think so!" Naraku exclaimed as a tiger demon shot out of him.

Kagome jumped in the air when the big cat demon tried to slash at her with it's sharp claws.

"You guys!" the fifteen year old called out to her friends. "Please, save Pegasus! I'll deal with this overgrown furball first."

"Leave it to us!" Ayame shouted back.

"Hiraikostu!" Sango yelled as she threw her giant boomerang at the tentacles.

The giant weapon sliced through the tentacles, releasing the trapped winged horse.

"Are you okay, Pegasus?" the red headed wolf demon asked.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Sango." Pegasus thanked the demon slayer.

"It was nothing." the sixteen year old girl said modestly. 'It feels kinda weird that I'm talking to a winged horse.' she thought to herself.

"Don't worry, Pegasus, we'll protect you from Naraku." Hazuki told the winged mammal as she got in front of him.

Meanwhile, Kagome was still fighting the tiger demon.

'I'm going to have to think of something if I want to beat it.' the young miko thought. And idea came to her and she smirked. 'I guess I'm going to have fight fire with fire. Or, in this case, fight big cat with big cat.' jumping a few feet from the demon, Kagome pulled at sutra from one kimono sleeve. She started to chant. "Oh moon, eternal light, faster than a thousand years, entwine with me and protect me. My name is Sakura, Golden One!"

A familiar pink aura surrounded the warrior princess as she transformed into her panther form. With a growl, Kagome leaped at the tiger demon and scratched it's face with her claws. The tiger roared in pain. While it was distracted, the white panther leapt at the tiger demon, closing her mouth around it's neck. The demon struggled, but it could not escape from the other big cat's fangs. After some more struggling, the tiger demon went limp in Kagome's mouth. Opening her mouth, the panther dropped the corpse of the demon to the ground. Kagome licked her lips to get rid of the blood that was on them. Suddenly, she heard a scream. Turning her head, Kagome saw Hazuki being hit by one of Naraku's tentacles, sending her flying back about five feet. She also saw that Pegasus was wrapped up by the evil demon's tentacles.

Not hesitating, the white panther quickly charged, jumped into the air, and latched her claws onto the tentacles that were holding her dear friend. A pink aura surrounded her as she changed back into the warrior princess.

"Let him go!" Kagome demanded.

"What makes you think I do that?" Naraku asked, smirking. "You're obviously afraid of losing this horse. Because, if he's gone, then you'll lose your powers."

"You're wrong!" the silvery haired miko yelled, surprising everyone. "I'm afraid of losing Pegasus because he is my friend. And I'll have you know that I've always have had this power inside of me! Pegasus just helped me awaken them!" she quickly cut the tentacles with her katana, freeing the white winged horse.

When she landed on ground, the fifteen year old got in front of Pegasus and got into a defensive stance.

"I will protect Pegasus and everyone else. Because they are my precious friends!"

Suddenly, Chizakura's blade started to glow brightly.

"What's happening?" Kagome asked herself.

"Chizakura is responding to your words." Pegasus said. "It now sees you as it's one and only master."

"Chizakura..." was all the young miko said as she stared at her katana. Then she smiled. "Thank you. Please, help me protect everyone." she kissed the sword's blade.

When the glowing stopped, everyone saw that Chizakura's blade had changed. The blade was now made of crystal, which had all of the colors of a rainbow. Soon, the name of an attack came into Kagome's mind. She looked at the evil demon and smirked.

"Everyone stand back!" Kagome warned the others.

Holding out her sword in front of her, the young miko took a deep breath and focused her eyes at Naraku. She swung Chizakura over her shoulder, then out towards the evil demon.

"Purifying Rainbow Cherry Blossoms Tsunami!"

Over a thousand rainbow cherry blossoms, which were filled with purifying energy, came out of the sword and were hurling toward Naraku. The evil man cried out when the cherry blossoms made contact with him, purifying his body.

'I must retreat!' he thought as he sent a quick glare to the warrior princess.

Suddenly, a black smog came out of Naraku's body. Everyone coughed when the smog covered the entire area. The smog disappeared sometime later. The others soon noticed that the evil man and his black haired incarnation were gone.

"They escaped." Ayame stated the obvious.

"Hey, why didn't you finish him off?!" Inuyasha demanded, his tone furious, as he stalked over to the fifteen year old.

"I would have, expect he blinded me when he released that smog." Kagome replied calmly.

"She's right, Inuyasha." Miroku said. "No one could have seen through that."

The half-demon said nothing, just growled lowly.

"On to more important matters." the silvery haired girl said as she walked over to the winged horse. "Are you okay, Pegasus?" she asked him.

"Yes, thanks to you, Milady." Pegasus answered.

"I'm sorry we couldn't keep him safe for very long, Sakura." Hazuki apologized, her head bowed down.

"It's okay." Kagome reassured the little witch, patting her head. "I think it's time I leave now. I'll see you guys later."

Just as the fifteen year old was about to leave, Pegasus spoke up.

"Milady, if you want, you can ride on my back."

"Really?"

The winged horse shook his head. Smiling widely, Kagome walked over to Pegasus and jumped on his back.

"Bye guys!" the young miko said as the white stallion spread his wings and took off into the air.

"Wow!" Hazuki, Ayame, Sango, and Shippo said in unison as they watched the warrior princess fly off on the winged horse, stars in their eyes. "So cool!"

Later that night, everyone was sleeping. Well, almost everyone.

"Kikyo..." was all Inuyasha said after he followed the miko's soul searchers and found her standing there in the meadow.

"Inuyasha, I'm glad you came." Kikyo said as she walked up to him.

The half-demon noticed that she had a serious look on her face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I'm afraid that I have bad news." the deceased priestess replied. "Sakura Hime is planning to give the Sacred Jewel to Naraku."

"W-What?" Inuyasha said in shock. "That can't be..."

"I'm afraid so." then, to the half-demon's surprise, she hugged him. "I'm also afraid that she'll come after me. You've seen her power, Inuyasha."

Then Inuyasha wrapped his arms around the miko and hugged her back. "Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you. Not even Sakaura."

"Thank you." with her head on his shoulder, Kikyo gave a small smirk.

Unknown them both, they were being watched.

'What a fool.' Watanuki thought after he heard and seen everything.

Then the small dog turned around and walked back to where the others were.
