A/N: This may be a little shorter than most chapters...but...but...it was such a good ending! All poetic and crap and stuff.
Chapter 21
Harry coughed as the stone slid down his throat. That was harder than any pill he had ever taken, but it had went down. Not even a second after it had settled in his stomach he found a hand squeezing his throat and fingers trying to pry open his mouth. He stubbornly kept it closed.
"If you do not throw up that stone, I will rip you to pieces to find it!"
Harry spat in his face.
"Pieces it is."
When Harry thought he was going to be literally ripped to pieces by all the spikes coming out of Naraku's body, they stopped inches from him. He pried open his eyes and looked back up at Naraku; there was a sword sticking out of his stomach. Naraku growled out in frustration before ripping himself off the sword and facing the culprit.
It was Touga; his sword Sounga glinted with Naraku's dark blood.
Naraku had to avoid another strike as Touga went in for a second attack, diverting him away from Harry.
"What are you doing?"
Naraku's tone was low and dangerous; he wasn't one who liked having his plans disturbed. But Touga stayed silent. Naraku's eyes drifted over to Harry with a glare and he growled as he realized what happened. The stone had switched masters.
"Fine…but I will see you both destroyed first!"
Naraku practically exploded. It seemed like multitudes of demon parts were coming from everywhere. Coming from everywhere and all directed at Harry and Touga.
Fuck me.
Harry heard the sound of metal breaking an arm closing around his waist and then he was hoisted up into the air, closely followed by the explosion of wood. When he finally opened his eyes again after the rush of air, Harry was shocked to see the castle they were previously in surrounded by demons. And in the middle of it all was Naraku, slowly coming closer to them, surrounded by a barrier.
Harry gulped before looking around the grounds for what could be an escape route. Normally he would be courageous and ready to face off his enemy, but that was when he had his wand…and when he wasn't still full of holes. Speaking of holes…he was starting to get dizzy.
It seemed like a blur of movement as Touga slashed at the demons coming at them. Harry would have turned into his animagus form, except he knew the moment he tried to escape as a bird, one of the demons would most likely eat him whole. He settled his head on Touga's shoulder as his head started to get fuzzier.
Harry blinked when he thought he saw a flash of white in the sea of demons below them. He giggled when he thought he saw Sesshoumaru. I'm starting to see things! Oh that's bad isn't it…
His eyes followed the white delusion sleepily. It flowed gracefully around demons as it chopped them to bits, using both a mixture of a sword and a glowing green whip. He let out a tired smile when he saw golden eyes look up at his; wide golden eyes that stared deeply into his.
"Sesshoumaru…"
It was a good delusion to fall asleep to. Maybe he'd even dream of him.
Except he was woken up painfully when his heart started to hurt; hurt badly; hurt extremely painfully. He curled into the arm holding him as he clawed at his chest. It was killing him; the thing in his chest was killing him. His eyes searched the field frantically and saw Touga facing off against Naraku far away.
But then….he looked up and saw Sesshoumaru, golden eyes staring down at him with a carefully guarded stare. His silver hair drifted softly in the wind; a nice thing to die to he thought. He curled into the body next to him as another wave of pain went through him. He felt claws prick his shoulder.
An idea popped into his head.
"Get it out."
He stared into Sesshoumaru's eyes with his own pain filled ones.
"Rip the damn shard out of my heart."
The claws around his arm dug further into his skin.
"You are sure?"
Harry laughed.
"I'd rather die by your hand then Naraku's…I think."
Harry thought he saw something flash across those golden eyes as he was lowered to the floor, but instead of a claw as he suspected, Sesshoumaru drew a pretty looking sword and settled it over his heart. Harry closed his eyes and waited for the pain. But instead of pain…
…it doesn't even hurt?
His eyes widened when he felt the sword touch the shard in his heart; a quick flick of the sword and it ripped through his heart as it shot out. He grunted as he felt his heart slowing down.
Okay…that hurt…
As his heart slowed further down he stared up into golden eyes that he swore looked down at him with sadness. I really must be delusional then…
The last thing he saw before darkness took him was Sesshoumaru standing over him with his sword raised above his head.
A/N: Yay, now after this I can write more of Harry and Sesshoumaru's developing romance! :D
