THIS IS AN EXTRA AUTHOR'S NOTE I KNOW THAT KOHAKU WAS SAVED A DIFFERENT WAY

BUT I DIDN'T FIND OUT HOW UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP JUST RECENTLY.

SO PLEASE EXCUSE MY INACCURACY WITH HOW

HE WAS REVIVED.

Inuyasha

Grr. That guy really knew how to get under my skin. He is such a creep! Inuyasha thought as he sulked to himself.

"Oh, Inuyasha. Don't be a such a grump!" Kagome said as she patted him on the shoulder.

"I don't see why I can't!" he muttered. They heard a sob coming from behind them.

"Sango?" Miroku asked, walking up to his friend and fiancée.

"Miroku. He's dead. Kohaku's dead!" she said, holding her little brother close to her as she cried for the loss of his life.

"Excuse me, but I think I might have a way to revive your little brother," a very familiar voice from behind said. Everyone turned to see Kikyo.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Wh-what do you mean you have a way? What are you going to do to him?" Sango asked, pulling Kohaku even closer to her.

"Please, just trust me," Kikyo said.

"Very-very well," Sango stuttered, fresh tears were falling from her eyes. Kikyo walked to her side and knelt next to Kohaku.

"I just ask one thing in return," she said.

"What is that?" Sango asked, eyeing her warily.

"That you all give your all to destroy this monster!" Kikyo said. Sango nodded and Kikyo gave the last of her spiritual energy to Kohaku so he could live.

Suddenly, miasma shot at Kikyo.

"Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled. Everyone looked up to see Naraku smirking down at them.

"Naraku! How dare you do this?" Inuyasha yelled at him.

He just chuckled. Inuyasha grred and then ran over to Kikyo.

"Kikyo! Kikyo, can you hear me?" Inuyasha asked as he held her in his arms.

"Inuyasha, please give your all in order to bring that monster down," was all she said.

"Kikyo. You've done your best, so you can definitely leave the rest to us. Have a good time in the afterlife," he said. He leaned down.

Haley

Haley watched as Inuyasha leaned down to kiss Kikyo before she left for the afterlife. She noticed that Kagome was looking away with tears threatening to spill over.

"Kagome? Are you okay?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh, yes. I am fine. Don't worry about me, Haley. I'll be fine," she said.

"Okay," Haley nodded.

"So, how are we going to defeat Naraku now that he has the shikon jewel? I mean, he was too powerful for us before he got the entire jewel," Miroku said.

"I have no idea," Sango said. Sounds of a sizzling corpse started behind them.

"We'll do what we've always done. Attack him head on and make him pay for everything that he's done!" Inuyasha said as he stepped in front of everyone.

"But Inuyasha!" Miroku tried to say.

"Can it, Miroku. I don't care how powerful he is! Everyone has to have a weak spot, and we will find Naraku's in this battle! We will end this stupid war once and for all!" Inuyasha yelled as he unsheathed his sword.

Wow, looks like Kikyo's death really took a toll on him. Haley thought as she looked at him. After taking in his words for a few moments, they finally said something.

"You're right, Inuyasha!" Miroku agreed, standing up.

"Naraku has to pay for everything he has done!" Sango agreed, standing up as well.

"We're behind you all the way, Inuyasha!" Kagome said, coming up to his side.

"So are we!" Koga and Allie said.

Throughout this whole proclamation thing, Haley just kept thinking about how different he seemed now compared to a few nights ago.

"Haley?" Inuyasha asked, turning around to face Haley, yanking her from her thoughts.

"Huh?" she asked, blinking twice.

"Are you going to help us in defeating Naraku?" he asked, looking straight at her instead of through her like he usually did.

"Yeah, I guess I will!" Haley said, smiling slightly. It was clear that she was somewhat afraid though.

"Good. And don't worry. With everyone watching each other's back, I doubt any of us will get severely hurt. Just watch out for his tentacles and miasma," Inuyasha said, turning back around to wait for Naraku to transform into whatever hideous form he would take.

"Do your worst, Naraku," Inuyasha muttered.

"Are you ready, Ashley?" Sesshomaru asked Ashley. Haley looked over to see Sesshomaru standing protectively in front of Ashley.

"Yeah. I'm ready to teach this guy not to mess with family!" Ashley said, glaring up at Naraku. Sesshomaru just nodded.

"Nadyia? Jakostu? You two ready to fight as well?" the leader guy said. We had yet to learn his name, or at least Haley, Allie, and Ashley have yet to.

"Yes! I'm ready to teach this girly jerk a lesson!" Jakostu said, putting a hand on his arm.

"I've been waiting for a chance to test my stuff! Bring it on!" Nadiya said, raising her fist at Naraku.

"Hmph! I always did like a girl with spunk!" the leader guy said as he put his arm around Nadyia's shoulders.

Nad blushed a little.

"Bankostu," she muttered.

"What's wrong? I thought we've cured this being close to me issue," he said as he kissed her cheek.

Her blush intensified.

"Inuyasha and friends. Sesshomaru, Bankostu, Jakostu, and the three girls. Are you all ready to face the wrath of the new and improved Naraku? For I am no longer a half-demon. I have used the jewel to make myself a full-fledged demon! Now, feel my wrath!" Naraku yelled as his form changed. Haley looked up to see Naraku's body turning purple and then increase in size.

"Get ready, guys!" Inuyasha muttered as he placed his sword in front of him. Sango pulled her boomerang from her back, Miroku gripped his sword tighter, Kagome prepared her bow and arrows, Sesshomaru got his claws ready, as did Koga, Allie, and Haley, and Ashley stood her ground.

Haley could tell this was going to be a rough battle.

Ashley

I had a very bad feeling about this battle.

Mostly because my dream looked like it had taken place after a battle such as this.

I will do my best to protect you guys! I promise! Sesshomaru, if this ends badly for either of us, please know that even though I didn't regain my powers and memories of our time before, please know that you have regained my love. Please understand that right now I need my friends to be around. Not just in spirit, but I need to be able to talk to them, to be with them. I need my friends, but I still love you and always will. I can admit that now. I love you, Sesshomaru. I thought.

I then looked at him. He had such a fierce look in his eyes.

"Jaken!" he suddenly shouted.

"Y-yes my lord?" Jaken asked.

What? He was still here? Shouldn't he have flown away by now?

"Take Rin and go. I don't care where, just get here as far away from here as possible!" Sesshomaru ordered.

"Oh, yes my lord! I will make sure nothing happens to her!" Jaken assured him.

"Hey! You mind taking Shippou and Kohaku with you? Those two won't do much against Naraku in this stage," Inuyasha yelled. Sesshomaru briefly spared a glance at his younger brother and nodded.

"Shippou! Kohaku! Go with Jaken and Rin and head for safety!" Inuyasha yelled.

"But, we want to fight too!" Shippou yelled.

"Just go, Shippou! You'll only be in the way!" Inuyasha yelled. Shippou gulped and nodded. Then he and Kohaku ran towards Ah-Un and they flew away.

"Sesshomaru, there's one thing I need to tell you before Naraku finishes transforming and the fight begins," I whispered to Sesshomaru.

"Hm? What is it?" he asked, turning his head towards me.

"I love you. Always have, always will," I whispered in his ear and then kissed him on the cheek. I thought I saw a faint blush, but that quickly faded away.

"I love you too," he whispered back. That made me smile.

"Do me a favor? Don't die," I said, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Like I would let a puny demon like Naraku kill me," Sesshomaru assured me, placing a hand on mine.

"Good," was all I said. Moments later Naraku had finished transforming and the fight of our lives began.
