Ch12
The group was now standing in a circle, their backs to each other, weapons poised for attack. Out of the forest came one lone figure. It came out on Sango's side, and she immediately recognized it. "Kohaku."
He took out his weapon, and attacked her. Soon the siblings were engaged in a heated battle. The others were too busy defending themselves from the hoard of demons that appeared right after the young meat-puppet.
Kohaku threw his chained blade at Sango, who blocked with her bone boomerang. The dead demon slayer then ran at her, taking out his sword. Sango did the same. They were locked in a sword fight, neither advancing, or withdrawing. Then, Kohaku surprised his sister by slashing at her with the sickle part of his weapon. (I think that's a sickle at the end of the chain, correct me if I'm wrong please.) It cut through her stomach, leaving a deep gash.
Sango put an arm across the cut, trying to stop the bleeding. She looked up at Kohaku, tears in her eyes, "Why, Kohaku, why?"
"Because, Sango, you are no longer useful to Naraku."
"Useful?"
Kohaku nodded, "Did you think that he actually thought that you would kill me? Naraku has known all along that you would never be able to do it, so he used me to get to you. Every time you have been forced to face me, or even see me, it has made you hate Naraku more," Kohaku's voice faded into Naraku's (now it sounds like Naraku), "And when that happened, my jewel shards became more tainted with your beautiful hatred."
Sango's eyes widened as Naraku appeared behind Kohaku. The mad-man smirked, "To be merciful, I think that I will free him of my bonds before he dies." Naraku put his hand on Kohaku's head.
The boy's eyes regained life as they widened, and filled with tears. He dropped to his knees, and buried his face in his hands, "How could I have done that!?" He sobbed, "Father, our friends...Sango, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
"Kohaku...I.......forgive you." Sango forgave he little brother with her last breath, and her body fell to the ground.
Naraku merely laughed as he watched her die. Then he grabbed the boy's neck and held him up by his neck, "Don't worry Kohaku, you'll see your family and friends soon." He then removed the shard from Kohaku's back, and tossed the body by Sango's limp form.
Kirara, seeing Sango and Kohaku's deaths, charged Naraku, who was able to launch her (I think Kirara's a chick, but once again, I'm not sure) into a tree with a wave of his hand.
~*~*~*~
Miroku was able to fend off demons with his staff, but he couldn't use his wind-tunnel, for fear of sucking up one of his friends. He saw Kirara fly past him into a tree, and looked in the direction from which the cat came. He saw Naraku standing over Sango, and Kohaku's, dead bodies.
The demons seemed to clear a path for the monk as he ran at Naraku in a blind rage. Naraku merely smirked. "NARAKU!!!!" Miroku yelled as he charged the evil henyou. (I'll get back to that shortly)
~*~*~*~
Kagome was cutting through every demon that came at her, while Inuyasha was telling her when anything tried to sneak up on her. (He can still smell even if she can't) She heard Naraku's laugh, and watched him bat Kirara away, after taking Kohaku's jewel shard.
Kirara changed back into her smaller form after passing out in the air. She was flying strait towards a tree. ~Kagome, the impact would kill her!~ Inuyasha said in his mind.
'I'm on it.' Kagome ran over there for all she was worth, and caught the sleeping demon. Holding Kirara tightly, Kagome was forced to wield Tetseiga with one arm. (with a little help from Inuyasha.)
~*~*~*~
In a tree not far from the battlefield, SesshouMaru smirked, 'She has improved...' He looked down at Jaken, "If anything should happen to Rin, you shall perish a slow and painful death." Then, he started to calmly walk towards the girl.
~*~*~*~
Yoko had seen SesshouMaru coming and, after putting down a death-tree to take of the remaining demons that had attacked him, rushed to intercept the demon lord.
~*~*~*~
Naraku dodged to the left, and kicked Miroku's back, thus causing the monk to hit a tree, "Impatient to die are we not?" Naraku asked grinning.
Miroku swung at him with his staff, hitting nothing but air. Naraku appeared behind him, hitting him in the back. As Miroku went flying forward, Naraku appeared before him, and punched him in the face. Miroku hit the tree that he hit the first time Naraku struck him, and began to fall forward.
Before he hit the ground, Naraku kicked his stomach which pushed him up a few meters off the ground before falling back down to Earth. Naraku held his hand up, catching the now bloodied monk by the throat. "Fighting with rage can get you killed, you know. Oh well, I doubt that matters now." Naraku said as he thrust his hand into Miroku's chest, and pulled out his heart.
~*~*~*~
Kagome had just finished off the demons that were attacking her, Kirara in one hand, Shippou clinging to her shoulder, and Tetseiga in the other hand. She looked over to see Naraku kill Miroku. Before she could make a move towards Naraku, Kagura stepped out from the shadows of the surrounding trees. Smirking, the wind which waved her fan, causing the bodies of Sango, Kohaku, and Miroku to attack her.
Kagome was doing nothing but blocking. Inuyasha was yelling at her to attack, but she just couldn't. 'No, they're my friends!'
~DAMNIT KAGOME! They WERE your friends! If you want to live attack!~
Kagome started to cry, 'I can't do that to them! It just wouldn't be right!'
~What about Shippou and Kirara! Are you going to let them die because you have a soft-spot for a few corpses! I almost made that mistake, and now I'm hiding within you to avoid payment for it. Is that how you want to be! Attack, if not for yourself or me, then for Shippou and Kirara!~
'For Shippou and Kirara' Kagome thought as she dodged Kohaku's weapon and cut the small boy in half.
~BEHIND YOU!~ Kagome spun around in time to block Miroku's staff with Tetseiga. ~Sango's boomerang is coming from the back.~ Inuyasha said as Kagome did a back-flip over Hirakotsu. The mighty boomerang went right through what used to be Miroku. Kagome waited for it to come flying back. When it did, she jumped on the boomerang, letting it carry her to Sango's body. Jumping off of her friend's weapon, Kagome cut Sango right down the middle. (not through the stomach, but vertically).
~*~*~*~
SesshouMaru was fighting Yoko, but the fox could tell that he wasn't trying. "Why do you fight this way?!"
SesshouMaru chuckled a bit as he dodged the Rose Whip, and slashed with his claws, "Because, if I do not fight, Naraku will kill my ward, Rin. Imagine, the Great SesshouMaru of the Western Lands fighting a battle for the sake of a mere human child."
Yoko jumped back from the claws, and tried to kick SesshouMaru. SesshouMaru caught his foot, and swung him in a circle before throwing him towards a tree. The fox did a half-flip and grabbed a tree branch, using the trunk as a place to put his feet. He was about to attack again, but he stopped when he heard Naraku's laughing.
"I didn't think that you would be able to do that to your friends, miko. Clever, the way you used Sango's boomerang, but you cannot live past today. Kagura, Kanna attack!" He heard the deranged half-breed say.
~*~*~*~
Kagura uses her demon winds to keep the Windscar from forming. Kagome jumped to the right as some of Kagura's wind blades came at her. Kanna was standing in front of Naraku's other 'child' to keep Kagome from using any kind of long-range attacks. Setting Kirara and Shippou down, Kagome looked around for something that she might be able to use.
Then, she remembered the rose that Yoko had given her. She pulled it out of her hair (that's where she's been keeping it.) and charged it with her spirit energy. 'I hope this works.' She thought as she threw the rose. It had dispelled Kagura's winds. When Kanna's mirror threw it back it intertwined with the energy that Kagome was giving off, thus creating the Windscar.
Kagome smirked, "Sorry girls, but you cannot live past today." Kagome then brought the legendary blade down upon the Windscar, killing both Kanna and Kagura. "Come out and face me Naraku! YOU'LL PAY FOR KILLING MY FRIENDS!!!"
Naraku looked at where his spawn used to stand. 'She took them both out in one blow...' He surrounded the place in Miasma, although none of it got to Kagome, "Sorry miko, but I think that I will let you live with the guilt of killing your friends for a while. But do not kid yourself, for I will be back, and when I am, I will kill you!" After saying that, he disappeared.
Kagome growled out, "Coward!" before passing out.
~*~*~*~
Yoko looked at SesshouMaru, "He is gone, which probebly means that your ward is safe. I can tell that you do not wish to do battle with me, so I ask that you leave us be for the time being."
SesshouMaru looked around to see many bodies of the demons that made up Naraku's army, as well as the people that traveled with his half- brother. "I shall leave after I help to burry the dead. The dead deserve that much, no matter who they are."
(ok, I'm sorry Kia Minokoe and anyone else that didn't want Sango to die, but there is a purpose to this...)
The group was now standing in a circle, their backs to each other, weapons poised for attack. Out of the forest came one lone figure. It came out on Sango's side, and she immediately recognized it. "Kohaku."
