-Dilemma-
Myoga: oh no! Master Inu Taisho!
Inu Taisho fell onto the ground, bloodied and cut everywhere. He had transformed back into his human form as he struggled to move.
Inuyasha: father! Damn you Naraku!
Naraku: -laughs- this is the end for you Inu Taisho! Naraku wielded the Sword of Life and strived to stab Inu Taisho in the heart. However, before the blade could meet with the dog demon, Kagome's arrow shot through Naraku's arm as the sword dropped, just barely missing the Inu Taisho's face.
Kagome and Rin ran, dragging Inu Taisho to safety while Sesshomaru angrily jumped up and attacked Naraku with his own sword.
Sesshomaru: you tried to kill my father –eyes glowing red- you bastard.
Naraku: that wench, Kagome!
Naraku reached for the Sword again and fought off the very quick Sesshomaru. Inuyasha too joined the battle, slicing Naraku wherever he could.
Koga growled as he ran around Naraku, diminishing the miasma. Koga looked up at Naraku. There was absolutely no hope. Naraku was huge, even for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
Kagome: Inuyasha, look out!
Before Inuyasha could see, Naraku pierced him square in the chest with his poison claw as Inuyasha fell to the ground, unconscious.
-Evil Spirits Desiring the Sacred Jewel-
Inu Taisho struggled to breathe. Everyone had surrounded his bloodied body.
Kagome: Master Inu Taisho, hang in there!
Inu Taisho: no, do not mind me. My time is almost up.
Rin: Please, don't say such things!
Inu Taisho: Rin, I would like to have a word with you.
Rin nodded as Inu Taisho grabbed her hand. She was surprised at first, but listened carefully to the great and fallen dog demon.
Inu Taisho: Rin, you must slay Naraku.
Rin: what? Me? Lord Inu Taisho I don't think you understand…
Inu Taisho: you must use the Sword of Life and pierce Naraku's heart. It is the only way.
Rin: the only way to what?
Inu Taisho: you will understand later, it hurts to breathe. But please, promise me you will. Promise a dying man you will
Rin: -wipes the tears from her eyes- alright, I'll do my best…
Kagome placed a hand on Rin's shoulder.
Kagome: I'll help you out, just focus on the target okay? –weak smile-
-Spiritual Power-
Naraku held a half dead Inuyasha in one claw and a terribly bloodied Sesshomaru in the other.
Koga and Ayame were unconscious on the floor surrounded by their pack of dead wolves. Sango and Miroku had been poisoned by the miasma.
Naraku: -laughs- so, this is the end of the filthy dog family, is it?
He threw Inuyasha down and bound Sesshomaru to the floor with one hand and held the Sword of Life to his neck.
Naraku: your time is up, Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes. He had no feeling in his limbs, which made it impossible to move.
As the blade struck down, Sesshomaru felt warm blood on his face. It wasn't his… he opened his eyes.
Sesshomaru: F..Father…
Inu Taisho's eyes were wide and he screamed in pain. Looking at his son, he pulled a half smile.
Inu Taisho: son… I just want… I just want you to be happy.
And with that, the heart of the dog demon was pulled out by the blade as Naraku threw the corpse aside.
Naraku: such a fool. Now, join your father in death!
He lifted the sword high, only to have the arm holding it cut off by Kagome's arrow.
Kagome: I don't think so!
Naraku extended his spiny tail at Kagome, but stopped abruptly. Looking down, he saw that the Sword of Life was skewered through his chest.
He turned around to see that Rin, holding her eyes shut, held the sword and pulled it out, revealing Naraku's heart in the process.
Everything went black for Sesshomaru.
