Here is the next chapter of, newly named, Naraku's End. Yay!

And I now know I have been spelling Kikyo wrong.
**************************************************
Kikyo grabbed the entranced Inu-Yasha and began to drag him to hell with her.
Kagome braved from her spot of shooting arrows(what else can she do? Seroiusly) to shout her common,"Inu-Yasha!"
Shippo looked torn between running to help Inu-Yasha or running away. Naraku grabbed Shippo by the neck and began to squeeze. His face turned red, then purple, then blue before Ikimono could gather her strength and courage and stumble over to Naraku.
"L-let him go, Naraku. He's just a kid,"she gasped.
"No. The little fox will go now because he can get in the way," Naraku, in a bored tone, said.
"No he won't. All he does is hide and cry,"Ikimono reasoned to no avail.
Miroku and Sango and Kirara had all the while been desparately attacking Kikyo, hoping she would let Inu-Yasha go. Now, though, they began to attack sparingly, trying to free both Shippo and Inu-Yasha.
"Sango, who do you want to face?"Miroku asked, closing his hellhole for fear of sucking in an innocent person.
Sango looked indecisve, then grasped her Boomerang Bone and let it go. She hopped onto Kirara's back. "I'll take Naraku."
She jumped and ran to fight side by side with the slightly injured Ikimono. They managed to free Shippo before Naraku could kill him, but it was close. He coughed and put a tiny hand to his already bruising throat.
Miroku pulled out his staff and aimed a blow at Kikyo. It hit her arms and she dropped Inu-Yasha. He fell to a heap on the floor. Kagome jumped in like a cat and drug him away from the large hole.
Miroku turned to help Sango and Ikimono while Kagome tried to rouse Inu-Yasha. Kikyo slinked over to him and put a gentle hand on his.
"Inu-Yasha, please wake up,"Kagome pleaded in an unaudible whisper.
A tear dripped down her nose onto the ground with a soft, 'ploop.'
Inu-Yasha's ears flicked and he turned his head to face Kikyo. He opened his eyes, and mumbled through the small amount of blood that was forming in his mouth,"Kikyo, I would go with you to Hell, except that there's Kagome. She freed me and it was through her that you were reincarnated."
Inu-Yasha paused to take a breath. Kikyo looked at Kagome with a mixture of great disdain, hate, and uncertanty. Kagome's eyes filled with warm, sparkly tears.
"To be with Kagome here on Earth is the only way I can think of to be with, in a way, both of you. Mostly Kagome, but a little of Kikyo," Inu-Yasha continued and finished.
Inu-Yasha turned his head to Kagome. Alarmed, he frantically asked,"W-what's wrong? Why are you crying now? I chose you, didn't I?"
"That's why," Kagome answered, shaking her head.
Inu-Yasha tuned his head up and scratched it. Kagome was so confusing. Kikyo, however, was much more easy to figure out. She stood up angrily and was about to kill Inu-Yasha for good, when Miroku became aware of this. He ran up as fast as he could and made it just in time.
Miroku had stabbed Kikyo through the middle with his staff. He pulled the limp body back and started to shake it off. Kikyo's body flailed madly, then, it was on Naraku, pinning him to the ground. Her hot blood boiled over him and burned hotly.
Naraku became raging mad, he felt not the hot blood. Before he could get up, Sango had thrown her Boomerang Bone and it knocked off his legs. "Inu-Yasha, your turn," she breathed.
"Gladly,"he answered, getting up.
Inu-Yasha put his fingers in his mouth and spit up as much blood as he could, praying that it would be enough. As it turned out, it was.
"Claws of Blood!" he yelled as the blood claws flew.
Most hit Naraku, but one hit Kikyo glancingly. She stirred and growled curses as she rose. Naraku's mangled body clung to her like shy child to its mother.
"You'll pay for doing this to me,"Kikyo calmly said.
"Quick, before they can separate, move it!" Ikimono ordered loudly.
She summoned Rin from the bushes, who held a large torch with great care. Inu-Yasha and company were confused and slightly vexed. What good would fire do?
"Ikimono, are you trying to steal the show? It's a little late, don't you think? Your friends have already immoblized me," Naraku lightheartedly almost sang.
Kikyo held him up as her body slowly began to fail her. "My body is weakening, but I will not die!" She screamed.
"Unfortunately, Naraku, your mouth still works. Kikyo, I'll put your restless soul to where it belongs," Ikimono snarled.
With that, she reaveled a large sharp knife and put it to the heel of her wrist. She pulled the blade back and the blood shot out like a fountain of water. Rin was already holding the torch under Ikimono's hand and the blood was on fire and flew red wet sparks onto Kikyo and Naraku.
They burned and melted, wicks and candles on fire. After a while, their ashes melded together. Miroku looked on in awe as the Hellhole on his hand shifted together the skin and disappeared. Sango felt great releif and that her family had been avenged. Kagome felt simple relief with Shippo. Ikimono fell to her knees, weak from blood loss. Inu-Yasha stepped toward the ashes looking sad.
"Kikyo, I'm sorry. But you turned evil and I can't love someone who wants me to go to hell," he whispered.
That withstanding, he bent and retrieved the last three shards of the Shikon-No-Tama that glimmered brightly in the dark ashes. Kagome held out her hand for the shards.
"Gomen Nasai,"she mouthed.
Kagome put the large piece of the Shikon jewel along with the smaller ones in her cupped hands and put them to her heart. She closed her eyes and as she did, the shards melded together into one shiny sphere. Bright pastel colors shone to Kagome's closed eyes and she felt the now whole jewel being purified.
After a few minutes, she opened her eyes. She was a tiny bit drained, but she smiled as she held out the perfect Shikon-No-Tama for her friends to see. Tears gleamed in her eyes, Sango's eyes, and Shippo's eyes. Inu-Yasha didn't make move for the jewel and Miroku was still marveling at the gone hellhole.
Ikimono was the first to notice movement from the ashes.
"Look, something's growing,"She gasped.
Indeed, she was correct. A dark ash color of hair was forming on a pale ash color head. The group stared intently for an hour and a half as a woman's body took form. She was a pale ash color all over and her hair was long and dark ash color. She wore no clothes.
The last thing to be seen were her eyes and at last she opened them. They were blue ash color. When her eyes were open, she spoke. "Give me the Shikon-No-Tama."

Hey! Another done chapter! Guess what? Only one or two more chapters to this story, then I can post its sequel. I really wish you would Read and review. Do you hate me? (Makes big puppy eyes) Just R+R! Flame me now! I'm open to flames, though I prefer constructive critisism! Well, bye! Hope you R+R!
