Chapter 16: The Battle Between Darkness and Light
Kagome felt her grip release and watched in horror as the arrow embedded itself in Inuyasha's chest. She watched helplessly as he started back at her in all his grief and saw the look in his eyes that she had hoped to never see again; hopelessness and the intense feeling of betrayal.
Inuyasha's head fell forward onto his chest and his eyes shut as he once more was sealed from the world.
'NO!' Kagome screamed inside her mind 'NO!!'
Renewing the fight, Kagome used all her strength to break the Black Miko's control.
"NO! INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She cried out as the spiral amulet flew from her forehead and shattered into pieces, spreading it's evil to the winds.
She raced toward the still hanyou and flung her arms around him. Sobbing into his chest, she whispered over and over, "I'm sorry Inuyasha. I'm so sorry."
"Well, well, well. What did I tell you? It all worked out just as I planned." The smooth voice of the Black Miko broke the sound of Kagome's sobs.
Kagome whirled around and the rage in her eyes was terrible to behold.
"He believed you tricked him. That you never loved him! And now that he is dead, you will die as well!" The corrupted miko cried out.
"You.." Kagome growled as a purple light began to emanate from her body, "This was all your doing! I'll never forgive you!"
Kagome jumped up to face the Black Miko as a purple aura surrounded her body. Drawing her bow, she notched an arrow and pointed it straight at the silver haired miko.
'Impossible!' The Black Miko thought 'Her power is rising, this strength, this is greater than Kikyou's ever was!'
The Miko stepped back in fear as Kagome's eyes flashed silver; her hair swirled around her in a cloud as she aimed straight at the Black Miko.
"Black Miko! You destroyed my love, so now I will remove you from existence on this Earth!"
With that terrible oath, Kagome fired her arrow. Transfixed by the extreme power coming from Kagome, the Black Miko was unable to move. The arrow pierced her chest and she fell to the ground and became sparks of energy that dissipated into the air. Kagome fell to her knees in exhaustion and leaned toward the ground, her silver tears making trails that broke upon the Earth.
'I failed him. I couldn't break free until he was..dead..now, he has paid the price for my weakness!'

Back in the village, Sango, Miroku and Shippou were sitting around the fire in Kaede's hut. Worried about their friends, the three had draw together in order to plan a course of action to take in finding them.
"Maybe they don't want to be found." Miroku mused.
"Pervert!" Sango said as she whacked him on the head. "Kagome is not that type of girl, and I doubt Inuyasha would risk her refusing him."
"Maybe their in trouble!" Shippou expressed the object of most concern.
"Sango! Houshi! Shippou! Come here quickly!" Kaede's voice called with an alarmed tone form the outside.
Surprised at her urgency, the three leapt to their feet and raced out the door.
Collectively they gasped in shock and alarm. The area over Inuyasha's forest was flashing purple and cries of battle were heard.
"Quickly!" Sango said, "We have to go!"
"That's probably where they are!" Miroku agreed, "Shippou! Stay here!"
Sango and Miroku leapt onto Kirara and raced off into the twilight sky.
"But--!" Shippou protested, but was cut off as Kaede laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Come inside Shippou. Help me with my herbs." Kaede quietly commanded.
"Okay..." Shippou reluctantly agreed and followed Kaede into the house.
'For I fear this will be a scene children should never see...' Kaede thought as she led Shippou to the herb chest Kagome had brought back for her only yesterday.
********** As Sango and Miroku descended on the scene they discerned two things. One: Inuyasha was once again sealed. Two: Kagome was crying and holding her bow to her chest. They couldn't for the life of them figure out what happened.
As they landed, Sango immediately rushed to Kagome's side. Kagome flung herself at Sango in hysterical grief.
"It's all my fault! I killed Inuyasha!"
"How Kagome-chan?" Sango asked incredulously.
Miroku, meanwhile was examining the comatose hanyou. He drew back.
"He's not dead." Miroku said flatly
"What!?" Kagome gasped, hope shining once more in her eyes.
"Merely sealed, break the seal and he should be fine."
Kagome jumped to her feet and raced to the tree.
"Physically at least." Sango softly added.
Kagome stopped short, her hand on the arrow.
"Can he recover from my mistakes, again?" She asked quietly.
"Perhaps. Tell us what has transpired here to lead to such tragic consequences." Miroku sagely put in.
Kagome leaned against Inuyasha's body, and said in a hate filled voice.
"The Black Miko put a spell on me so that she could force my body to kill Inuyasha. I broke free after I had fired my arrow and was able to destroy her forever!"
"Oh, Kagome-chan." Sango breathed "That must have been so hard."
"He will forgive you." Miroku added with conviction. "Pull it out!"
Kagome yanked out the arrow and stepped back as Inuyasha was freed from the seal.
His eyes fluttered open and fixed on hers.
