Chapter 43: We've Gotten This Far
Inuyasha and Kagome are in a pickle. So far they've stayed close to Ayame and Koga, to make sure that Naraku doesn't do any harm to them. "Inuyasha, you should've taken Kagome to Inukoni's grave when she first went to your house for the first time." Naraku taunts them. "That's because I wasn't aware of his mother's death. So don't blame it on me for not knowing any of it." Kagome growls as she flexes her claws. Inuyasha didn't expect how easily Kagome has gotten. He takes hold of her wrist. "I didn't even mentioned about Inukoni at all. Not only that, there weren't any records, archives, not even photos of her. That's why Kagome didn't know about her in the first place." Inuyasha speaks for his mate.
Naraku chuckles with his eyes closed, "That may be true, but there's always a place where such information can be stored." Inuyasha narrows his eyes. "Like where? For if there's ever such a place to know about an individual's existence is to where her birthplace is." Naraku snaps his fingers to change one monitor to another to show them. The monitor shows the Takahashi Mansion. "As you are aware of the mansion, they have their own cemetery for each member of the Takahashi family." Inuyasha gets in front of his mate, "What's it to you? You don't have to explain to us about my family's cemetery because only one person is buried there."
Naraku snaps to change to camera's angle to the backyard of the mansion. "Yes, I know for sure that Inukoni's buried there. But what would happened if I destroyed the place." He declares as his about to snap his find to activate a bulldozer that approaches the grave. All of a sudden a yellow whip cuts off his hand of his body. "I won't let scum like you destroy something that is important to the Takahashi Family." Sesshomaru comes into the room, with Rin on his back. No far behind them are his father with Izayoi, and Hige with Ai on his back in their true forms.
Kagome looks in relief and surprise. "Dad, mom what are you guys doing here? I thought you guys got everyone else out of the cave by now?" She asks her parents. Hige and Inutaishou transform back into their humanoid forms. "We did, but then Hige sense something wasn't right with your problem so we came back to make sure you guys are ok." Inutaishou responds back to her. He then turns to Naraku, "And it appears that this bastard is trying to destroy my mate's grave." He walks to the enemy with red eyes despite staying in his human form. Inuyasha instinctively gets in front on his mate. "You should know one thing about my dad." He tells her so far. "What is it that I should know about him?" She asks him in return. "Is that whenever his possessed is being threathen, the one who did is going to pay the ultimate price. Death." Inuyasha explains to her with a serious tone of voice.
With that said, Kagome looks back at her parents. "Would you do the same thing dad?" She asks her father as he and Ai came to her. "Absolutely. The shrine is the one place not to mess with." Hige responds as he looks down to see if there's any injuries on his daughter. Seeing just that one faint scar on her arm doesn't seem to concern him.
Inutaishou charges at Naraku with speed that none of the others were able to keep up with his moves. Even Naraku didn't see it coming at all. One swift of his poison claws, he slashes them onto Naraku's neck from the back. "Naraku this is your death sentence." Hige speaks out as he does the same technique that his friend just did. "Go." He shouts to the males to do the same thing. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Koga charge from all directions that Naraku assumes where they're coming from.
Sesshomaru does the same poison claws attacks but he slashes Naraku in the abdominal area. Koga uses brute force to hit pressure points on Naraku's body to immobilize him. Seeing this as an opportunity, Hige glows his claws in a fiery color. "Blades of Flames" He fires them to limbs of Naraku's body. Inuyasha checks to see if Hige missed any marks on the enemy's body. All that's left is a limbless Naraku. "This is the end for you, you bastard!" He swings Tetsusaiga. He slices Naraku front dead center of his stilled body.
Kagome, Ai, Izayoi, and Ayame are beyond surprised to see their mates managing to kill off the one man that made their lives a living hell without even realizing it. The men return to their mates sides. "That should do it." Hige said to them confidently. As the smoke clears, A wicked chuckle halts them. "Is that all you got?" He grins as he shows that he's been regenerating after getting hit so many times. Koga widens, "How could he possible move around since I hit his pressure points?" He asks his friends.
Naraku chuckles, "Simple, I made sure that my body is impervious to any physical attack, including pressure pointers." Sesshomaru and Inutaishou are confused to find no sign of their poisonous attacks. "Curious as in why I'm not effected by your poison attacks? I made sure that my own poison counters it so I'm good as new. Not even your fire attacks will do you any good on me." Naraku grins like a mad man.
The guys widens their eyes in shock and disbelief. "No. We've used everything we hard to kill this asshole." Hige growls lowly. "That's because us men alone aren't enough to kill him." Inuyasha realizes their failed attempt. He then turns around to see the girls in more shock than the men. He turns back to see his father, half-brother and Hige in the same matter. He sighs, walks backwards, turns around in front of his mate, and knees down in front of her. "Kagome…" He cups her cheek. Kagome looks up to him with eyes full of fear. "What is it?" She murmurs at him as she takes hold of his hand. "…Fight with me." He requests quietly that only she could hear him.
