CHAPTER 7:
KIKYOU NO TAMASHII TO KAGOME NO YA
(KIKYOU'S SOUL AND KAGOME'S ARROW)
Inuyasha.......saigo ni omae ni aete......yokatta..
(Inuyasha.......I'm happy to see you......one last time..)
"Haaaa~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!"Kikyou runs into Naraku's black void.
"Kikyou~~~~!!!!!"Inuyasha reaches out for her but it was too late.He drops to his knees and starts crying."Ki....Kikyou..."
Sango and the others(except for Sesshoumaru)was still crying over Kagome's death.
"Why?....Why did you have to..leave us,Kagome-chan?"asks Sango,her eyes red from crying so much.
"Kagome~~!!!!!"Shippou cries while Miroku tries comforting him.
"Sesshoumaru-sama,please!Please revive Kagome-onee-chan!!!"Rin begs pulling his sleeve.
Sesshoumaru just stares at Rin helplessly.
Suddenly,Kagome's body glows brightly.
"Kagome-chan?"Sango gasped at the sight
Kagome's body floats in the air and she slowly opens her eyes."Kagome~~!!!"Shippou cries
"Watashi wa Kagome dewa nai(I am not Kagome)..."said Kagome in a warm,gentle voice.
"That voice...i..is that you,Kikyou-sama!?"said Miroku
"I have sacrificed my life to help Inuyasha destroy Naraku....now...my soul has returned to Kagome's body.."said Kagome in Kikyou's voice.
"Does...that mean,Kagome-chan has revived?"said Sango
Kagome slowly shakes her head."No......,although my soul has returned....most essential is that Kagome's soul has not returned....without her soul,moving her body is useless..."
"So....Kagome-chan...is still....."Sango's expression sadden
Kagome(Kikyou) looks at Sango and then lays her glowing hand on her shoulder.
Sango looks over her shoulder to see Kagome(Kikyou) but then looks back at the ground."This....battle...it has too many sacrifices.Kohaku......Kagura...Kanna....and Kagome-chan....,I..can't stand this anymore..."
Miroku walks over to her and puts his arms around her.
"No one never knew this battle will be too painful...,Sango.No one,"he said sadly
"Why?Why does there have to be sacrifices!!!?Why?............."Samgo cries in his chest.
"Sango..."Miroku hugs her tightly.
Sesshoumaru suddenly walks towards Kagome(Kikyou).
"Are you saying that if Kagome's soul returns to her body....there is a chance of defeating Naraku?"he asks her.
Kagome(Kikyou) stares at Sesshoumaru for a long time....and then nodds her head.
Inuyasha stays on his knees staring at the ground for a long time.
"Kuku...orokana Kikyou da.(how foolish Kikyou is),you think just running into the void will stop it?Kuku....how foolish..."
Inuyasha raises his head,his eyes filled with rage.
"Kikyou.......sacrifised her life...just to kill you...,You have caused so much pain!I bet you can't even count how much you did!!Using people as dolls without making your hands dirty,taking away precious things from people,........and just throw them away when you don't need them anymore!!You're just nothing but evil!!I don't see any light of good from you!!!!"shouted Inuyasha in rage.He charges towards Naraku raising Tetsusaiga high up in the air.
"Shine!!!!!"
Inuyasha swings Testusaiga with all his might.The force slashes Naraku up.
"Kuku!!Inuyasha,...your attacks are meaningless!Why don't you just die and go to Hell!!"Naraku opens up his void wider.
But...a golden light shines from inside the void.They both noticed this.
"What's this?"Naraku looks at the light amazed as it covers up his void.The void starts to shrink.
"What...?My void.....,what is this light!?"
Inuyasha stares looking at the void,"Kikyou?"
The void disappears and the sucking wind dies down.
"Ku....what is going on?What was that light!?"Naraku makes a shocked expression as he saw his void disappearing.
Inuyasha smirks,"hehheh....Naraku.You don't get it do ya?That light was Kikyou!I can tell because I know it's Kikyou's warm light!You didn't even know did ya?Kikyou's light destroyed your freakin' annoying void!Now I can kill you without worrying my attacks will be sucked up!!!"
Naraku makes a annoyed expression,' ku.......Kikyou..'
Sesshoumaru laid his hand on Tenseiga's handle.He slowly draws Tenseiga.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"Rin looks up surprised
He points the Tenseiga towards Kagome(Kikyou).
"Stay still...."
Kagome(Kikyou) stares at Sesshoumaru and the closes her eyes," Go ahead...."
Sesshoumaru slowly raises Tenseiga and then swings it hard.
"Kagome-chan!!"shouted Sango
A trail of light appears as Sesshoumaru slices her body and Kagome's body glows brightly.
"Kagome~~!!!"Shippou whines and tries to hug on to her but the light reflects him.
The light slowly fades and Kagome opens her eyes slowly.She gets up and looks at her hand.
"Eh?I.....I thought I...died..."
"Kagome~~!!"
"Kagome-chan!!!"
They all hugged onto her crying.
"Mi...Minna..(You guys)"Tears appear on Kagome's eyes too
Rin walks over to Sesshoumaru who was putting back Tenseiga back in the saya(scabbard).
"Arigatou...Sesshoumaru-sama.Kagome-onee-chan wo yomigaerasete(Thank you...Sesshoumaru-sama.For reviving Kagome-onee-chan)"
Sesshoumaru just makes his expressionless face again.
Kagome too walks over to him.
"Arigatou......Sesshoumaru,"
He glances at her,"Korede kari wa kaeshitazo(With that,I have paid back your debt...)"
"Kari?(Debt?)"
"The time when you treated my injuries inside Naraku's castle...."
"Oh...That,"Kagome remembers herself wrapping bandages and putting medicine on Sesshoumaru's body."but...you didn't really have to pay me back.."
Sesshoumaru walks towards Naraku's dome-like barrier,"I just did it because I wanted to....then.."
Kagome realises something and looks back at Sango and the others.
"Oh..where's Inuyasha?"she asked
"Eh?"They all make a distressed expression.
"Ka..Kagome-chan...,I..Inuyasha hasn't returned from the battle against Naraku yet.I suppose...he
is still in that barrier fighting him.."
"What?"Kagome makes a surprised expression and then runs towards the barrier.
"Kagome-chan!!"shouted Sango
"I've got to go help him!!!"
Inuyasha realises something and then looks back behind him.
"This smell......Kagome's!But...but..I thought..she..."
A figure appears running towards him.It became clearer and Kagome comes running up to him.
"Kagome!!!!!"shouted Inuyasha running towards her too.
"Inuyasha!!"Kagome runs into his arms to Inuyasha's surprise
"Ka..Kagome..I...I thought you.."he hugs Kagome tightly in his arms.
"I know.I died but then...Sesshoumaru....he used the Tenseiga to revive me."Kagome said as she releases herself from Inuyasha's arms.
"Sesshoumaru did what!!?"Inuyasha makes a surprised expression
Sesshoumaru appears after Kagome.Inuyasha stares at him with a confused expression.
"Sesshoumaru......I...I should be thanking you for...you know..what you did."
"Hmph.....if you have the time to say that why don't you finish Naraku off already?"
"What!!?"Inuyasha raised his fist
"Come on,Inuyasha!Sesshoumaru!There's no time to fight each other here!"Kagome walked in between them
They heard Naraku's laugh behind them.
"Kuku....Kukuku...so..,Sesshoumaru-sama,you have used the power of the Tenseiga to revive Kagome..kuku,so it seems that even you have emotions like humans.."
"Chaban wa owarida,Naraku(The farce ends now,Naraku)."
Sesshoumaru and Naraku both glares at each other.
"Kuku.......it is time for me to finish you all once and for all.You should continue your life in the next dimension...kukuku..."
Kagome points her arrow towards Naraku.
"Anta no hanashitte itsu kiitemo mukatsuku wa!(Your freakin' speech makes me sick every time I hear it!!)"
"Kuku..and what are you going to do?Shoot me with your useless arrows?Your arrows mean nothing to me since I am a full youkai now!"
Kagome searches Naraku's body for the Shikon no Tama.' If I shoot the Tama out of his body...then he won't be strong anymore....but..where is it? '
She saw a glow of light from his chest.' There it is!! '
A ball of blue-ish green light appears at the end of the arrow.
Inuyasha suddenly sees Kikyou's and Kagome's soul overlapping.
' Kikyou?....Kagome? '
Kagome aims the arrow at the glowing light.
' Kikyou,onegai....Chikara wo kashite!!!(Kikyou,please....lend me your powers!!!) '
She releases the arrow and it heads straight towards Naraku's chest leaving a trail of golden light.
