This is the moment of truth, and it seems like Kagome isn't the only one who has a difficult choice to make. It seems like theirs no coming back for Inuyasha and Inu Taisho might have to kill him. Kohaku still under Naraku's control, struck down Miroku and his life hangs in the balance, even thought Kohaku did what he did, he still her brother and she loves him, but might have to kill him. Then there's Sesshomaru who is facing off against Naraku. Kagome knows that she will make will it to one but not the other. So who die and who will be saved. You all are about to find out now. Also people there is a twist in this chapter, so read and enjoy. I don't own Inuyasha, I just love Sesshomaru and
Flashback:
Kagome's heart clench as she felt Miroku's aura drop like a stone in a pond and also felt two more auras with her and she was left with a hard choice. Do she go to help her love or go and help her friends who also her family as much as Sesshomaru was. She didn't know and she felt like her head and her heart where in two different places, knowing either directions she go means that she could lose someone dear to her and even if they come out victorious in this fight. Their lives will forever be changed by these events and it won't all be for the better...
Chapter 29: There Is Always Hope
(Kagome)
Kagome didn't know what to do, and she just wish that she could be in two places at once. She just wish that her, Sesshomaru and her friends can have the live that they all deserve. Just when she thought that it was all about to come true, this happens. Just as Kagome was going to give up hope, she felt her body pulsing with warm light, the feeling was indescribable to say the least and she heard a voice calling out to her. "Kagome. You are not along. I will always be here to help you." The voice said and she recognized it to be the voice of Midoriko.
"There is no way I can save both of them. Even with all my powers." Kagome said and what happened next surprise Kagome. She felt her necklace pulsate and it glow in a laminating pink light, the light was so bright that Kagome had to close her eyes against it. After a few minutes she felt a hand touch her and when she adjust her eyes and look to the spot next to her, it was Midoriko in the flesh, standing their smiling at her.
Kagome was shock beyond comparison to anything else, she knew that Midoriko could appear to her in spirit because of her home inside of the necklace. But for her to be her in flesh and body was beyond anything Kagome could conceive.
"Midoriko-how-are?" Kagome couldn't even get the words out properly.
"As I told you and Sesshomaru before. When you two mated. Both of your powers. Increased beyond anyone's imagining and because of your pure love and determination to save your friends and your mate, it gave me power to leave the crystal on your necklace to help you." Midoriko stated. " I always had power of my own. Great power. But not enough to become a body instead of a spirit. Now thanks to you. I'm and my powers have been restored to the max." She said with a smile.
Kagome felt tears form in her eyes threatening to fall at what just happened. 'Maybe there is hope after all.' Kagome thought
Kagome was brought out of her thoughts by Midoriko's voice." Come child. We have worked to do. You go to your mate and I'll help your friends." Midoriko insisted and Kagome nodded and they both took off in opposite directions hoping time was still on their side.
(Inu Taisho and Inuyasha)
Swords clash and threats ensued as Inuyasha attacked his father with no remorse and Inu Taisho defend. It was easy enough parrying Inuyasha blows, his anger and quest for revenge made his attack wild and not effective against someone like him who since he was a pup was bred and trained in the fire of combat. Who has been in more wars then Inuyasha has been alive, he was taught by his father how to keep cool in the enemy, not to give anything away, no emotions whatsoever and wait for your enemy to make that fatal mistake.
"DEATH SCAR" Inuyasha shouted once again and the attack rushed towards Inu Taisho at lighting speeds, but he was prepared."DEMON FANGS" Inu Taisho shouted and Sou'unga seperated into two blades that absorbed the attack. "Inuyasha. I don't want to kill. But I will If I have to." Inu Taisho warned. His eyes narrowed as Inuyasha laughed and at Inu Taisho growl he laughed hard.
"Go ahead if you got the balls. Old man. I got nothing left to live for anyway. Everything was taking from me. That slut Kagome, went to my brother. You killed Kikyo and my so called friends left me for that bastard half-brother of mines. So go ahead. But I don't think you have the guts to do so. You always put Sesshomaru before me. You always loved him more." Inuyasha growled.
Inu Taisho swords (it's Sou'unga split into two) shook in his hands. It's seemed like he was in a corner, but Inuyasha was wrong about one thing: He would. But before he could make a move, Inuyasha attacked "BACKLASH OF HELL." Inuyasha screamed and a tornado formed with the spirits and souls of demons spinning towards Inu Taisho, and Inu Taisho knew he could block the attack in time. But shockingly before the attack could reach him, he heard Inuyasha scream and the attack canceled itself out. When the dust cleared, Inuyasha had Tokijin's blade sticking out from the center of his chest.
Inuyasha turned around to stare into the black and red eyes of Sesshomaru. "You will not disrespect my mate or attack or father and think you will be aloud to live. As for everything that has happened to you, you have no one to blame put yourself. I just hope at least in death you may find some piece." Sesshomaru finished as he pulled Tokijin out.
(Naraku)
He could believe how things were turning out and he didn't even have to lift a finger. They believed that this was Inuyasha that was about to die by his brother's hands and he could feel that Kagome was her way to their location. He could help but show an evil smile, he would have his prize soon enough. Or so he thought, he was so happy with the events that were unfolding that he didn't see Kagome come out into the courtyard with her bow and arrows, with one already notched.
"NARAKU." he heard her screamed and as he looked up, he saw an arrow head in his direction surrounded by enormous amounts of holy powers, he laughed as he raised his shields and thought that he was protected as he was in the past, but he was proving wrong as the arrow cut through the shield surrounding him and the left side of his body was blown off by the explosion of the arrow making impact.
"Why you little bitch." He sneered as she launched another arrow.
"You will pay for everything you have done Naraku." Kagome growled as she was about to let another arrow fly, she was knocked to the ground by Sesshomaru as he screamed in pain as he shielded his mate from Inuyasha blades of blood. After the attack was over he felt to the ground, he was badly hurt, but not dead, as she stood and turned to face her once best friend.
"Goodbye Inuyasha." Was all she said as she notched another arrow and let it fly. Inuyasha thought he could block it with Sensaiga, but the arrow broke the sword in half and before the arrow reached him he said. "I'm not the only one who is going to die this day." He said as the arrow hit home, right in the middle of Inuyasha's head and he fell down dead.
(Sango and Miroku)
Sango knew that Miroku didn't have much time as she felt his life force slipping, he needed blood since he was a chaos vampire youkai and her mate he needs her blood.(Thinking of Selene and Michael from Underworld 2) But she knew that she would have to deal with her brother first, she hoped and prayed to the Kami's that she didn't have to kill him, but he made the choice for he as he attacked with his scythe and the attack missed her neck by inches just as she was about to defend herself she felt her soul being snatched from her and she turned behind her to see Kanna.
Sango tried to move but it was no use and felt tears form in her eyes. 'So this is how it would end.' She thought said as she looked up at her little brother. He always be Naraku's killing puppet and she will never be able to save him and Miroku will die with his revenge against Naraku and he would stay stuck with that cursed wind tunnel on his right hand.
Her vision was going black and she let a smile small grace her lips. 'At least I die with the man I love.' She thought as her world started to go black. A pink purifying ball of energy passed over her head and hit Kanna dead on as she screamed and disintegrated into ash.
Kohaku saw this and went to fight the woman who killed Kanna, she easily dodged his attack s from his scythe and touched his shoulder were the jewel shard was located and purified it before removing it and he felt to the floor. She kneeled down beside him and use her healing powers to revive him. After 10 minutes she felt a heartbeat and saw him breath on his own.'Good. He's alive. Just sleep.' She thought as she heard Sango groaning and straining to get up and she went to help the demon slayer/vampire youkai.
"Are you alright." Midoriko asked Sango and saw her jump back several feet in shock.
"How-You're-When." Sango was babbling and Mdoriko couldn't help but let out a smile laugh.
"I will answer all the questions you have. But first you need to know that your brother is now free from Naraku's hold." Midoriko told her as Sango forgot about Midoriko being body and flesh and hugged her.
Midoriko was a little taken back but hugged her back the same, the only reason why Sango wasn't being purified was because a good portion of Sango was still human and she had a pure heart.
"You can thank me by reviving your mate." Midoriko said while her eyes motioned towards the floor.
"OH MY GOD." Sango shouted. How could she forget, she rushed to Miroku side and she bit her wrist, tearing open the skin and let her blood flow. The blood splattered onto his face and she thought it was to late , but after 5 minutes he started to stir and began to take the blood the was offered to him from his love Sango. Who was send a silent prayer to the Kami's that she didn't loose Miroku. She didn't think she could take it, yet let along live her life without him.
"Miroku. Please say something." Sango pleaded and she was reward when she saw those red/purple eyes that made her weak in the knees staring up at her. "Miroku I-." She was cut off by Miroku who had sat up with the help of Sango and Midoriko and they help him to stand.
He looked down at his robes that had a big hole in it from the attack he received and saw that it was healing quickly and he forgot the full blooded demons can heal quickly from serious wounds.
He looked at Sango his mate, his love and felt his body trembled at the thought of how close he was from being taking from her. He didn't want to say anything in this moment as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply, a kiss that told her everything that he wanted to tell her in that moment and she responded eagerly. It was about to get intense pretty quickly until the heard fighting outside. Midoriko, Sango and Miroku took care of the remaining demons and headed towards the commotion. Meanwhile...
(Kagura)
Kagura was almost at Naraku's lair and she hope that they would all be okay until she do what she needed to do. She shook her head at Naraku's arrogance at leaving a weakness like that unprotected. By little did she know, he didn't...
TBC
OMG Midoriko came back in the flesh too help Kagome, wasn't that too cool or what. Kohaku has been freed from Naraku's evil grasp and Kanna has been killed. What did Inuyasha mean that he wasn't the only one that was going to die this day after Sesshomaru took the full force of his blades of blood before he died. Can Kagura make it in time to destroy Naraku's heart and what surprises does he have waiting for her at the lair. Yippee, Miroku and Sango were saved by Midoriko and now they can help Kagome and the others in the courtyard. Will this be the final battle or will Naraku escape once again. Stay tuned and find out...As always read and review THANKS!
