Chapter 52: The Beginning of the Great Battle

The air was filled with thick purple fog that poured over the country like the heavy rains of the great flood. Inuyasha lifted his nose up in the air then pulled his sleeve over his face. 'Naraku…' He thought disgustingly. "That bastard, what is he getting himself into now?"

She could feel a cold, wet moisture pressing down on her forehead lightly. Kagome regained consciousness and opened her eyes and saw Sango above her holding a damp cloth. "Kagome, what happened? Are you alright?"

Kagome sat up and Sango embraced her as if Kagome was going to storm out again. "Sango…" Kagome put her hand on top of Sango's head. "I missed you so much. I'm sorry; I was out of my mind for leaving."

Sango lifted up her head, "I thought you were never coming back, you were gone for what seemed like forever!"

Miroku walked through the door without noticing Kagome was awake, "Sango, prepare yourself, the sky is filled with miasma…"

Shippo walked in carrying Kirara. He was pale as a ghost with dark circles under his eyes, "It's really bad…" He was barely able to make out those words.

"Oh Kami! Sango, Miroku! Naraku!" Kagome yelled in panic.

Miroku looked at Kagome, "What about Naraku?"

Kagome stood up and walked over to the door and pulled the straw mat out of the way so she could look outside. She felt the mass amount of jewel shards coming closer towards where she was at. Naraku was not far away.

She dropped the mat and backed up slowly and turned around to look at her friends. "Where's Kedea? I want her to here as well."

"She's out tending to a villager at the moment; I don't know when she's coming back…" Miroku responded. "What's going on?"

Kagome sighed, "While I was in my time I was reading a book about the past, which is now. It said that a powerful demon by the name of Naraku would retrieve all of the shards and use the jewel to dominate the Southern lands of Japan. Killing us all…" Kagome finished with a frightening look on her face.

The room was silent.

Kagome looked down, "I don't know how we are to defeat him… but I knew I wasn't going to let you guys die alone."

"Kagome, why would you—" Sango began.

"Don't ask me why, Sango. I know what I had to do. This is part of my fault as well. Maybe with me being here I can change history…"

Miroku looked at Kagome's stomach, "Kagome, how are you going to fight?"

Kagome bit her lip, "Don't be concerned with me, I'll be fine, I assure you."

"Totosei!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked into the cave where Totosei resides.

"Inuyasha," Totosei had a stern look on his face. "Naraku is heading South… Towards your village. Do you think…"

Inuyasha didn't say anything; he quickly ran out the entrance of the cave and made his way back to where his friends would be. He knew exactly what Naraku was planning on doing. The problem was… It would take him more than a few days to get there.

"Dammit!" Inuyasha yelled as her sprinted across the land, not letting any obstacle get in his way. He wasn't going to let Naraku destroy the things he loved most. His friends. Kagome. His child…

Naraku gazed below him as he hovered over the village where he sensed the remaining jewels. He smirked, and without looking at Kagura he said, "Go get me the girl." And without hesitation Kagura flew down to the village. Nakaru stayed positioned, as if he made a throne out of the clouds from his miasma.

Kagura positioned herself on the hard ground outside the hut Kagome was in.

Kagome froze and opened her eyes wide. "He's here…"

Author's Note: Sorry guys! My computer has a freaking virus and wont let me do anything on it! I found a way to use my Word Document so I can update. I wish I would have figured it out sooner! I lost my idea for the story so now I'm stuck writing stuff from the top of my head, which sucks! I feel like I lost my ability to write! But I'll try and make it better. I'm kind of getting sick of this story. It's soooooo old! Haha, but I'm going to finish this one soon, hopefully the next chapter will be the last. I'll try and make it as long as possible. But sorry this chapter was so short and sucky. Like I said, I forgot what I was going to write about!
