AN: From now on this will have lots of blood and character death. This is in the angst genre, after all. If you do not like reading about cute, but dismembered heads rolling around, I advise you not to read on.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Kagome, or "Inuyasha": Rumiko Takahashi does; I only use them for my own sadistic purposes. :P

The next morning came, and so did the final battle.
Both sides had gathered near the center of the field. On one side was Inuyasha, with Miroku and Sango at each side. Shippou was sitting on Miroku's head. Inuyasha had pushed Kagome away and told her to stay out of this fight. On the other side was Naraku. Kagome was suspicious that Naraku hadn't brought Kagura, Kanna, or even Sango's brother Kohaku to take his fall. For awhile she thought it was a kugutsu puppet, until she realized the demon energy coming from it wasn't faint like it would have been if it was a puppet. It was Naraku and he was alone.
Maybe Kagura was hiding in that tree ten feet away from where Kagome was standing. Kohaku and Kanna might work as a team; Kohaku would distract Sango and Kanna would suck out her soul. The saimaiyoushou wasps would leave Miroku helpless because if he opened his hand they would kill him. But Kagome couldn't see where any of them would be hiding, and the tree ten feet away from her was too small to hold all of them.
"I see you're getting soft." Naraku's voice broke through Kagome's thoughts.
"Shut up," Inuyasha growled.
"Kukuku," laughed Naraku, "You have. You just won't admit it because in this world of ogres and demons, you're afraid it will be your end. You're right, you know. It will be your end." Naraku smiled and lifted his head, his dark brown hair fluttering in the slight wind. His red eyes were slits and his smile wasn't a nice smile.
"You're a bastard, Naraku," Inuyasha said. "You ensnared Kikyou and I into a trap and killed her. You cursed Miroku and his family with that hellhole. You murdered Sango's village and turned her own brother against her. And you've tried to kill and manipulate Kagome." Inuyasha bent his head over so his long bangs darkened his face and bit his lip until it bled. Then he pulled Tetsusaiga from its scabbard. "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT!" Inuyasha screamed and lunged for Naraku. The Tetsusaiga transformed as he swung it at Naraku's shoulder.
There was a "kukuku" and a flash of white baboon. Naraku fled from Inuyasha, but halfway between where he began running and the tree ten feet away he twisted around and reached for Inuyasha's face. His fingers barely touched it before Inuyasha knocked his hand away with Tetsusaiga. The blade slid through the middle of Naraku's forearm and the arm dropped to the grass.
"Feh…" Naraku said.
"What the hell do you think you were doing?" Inuyasha asked.
"Kukuku… it doesn't concern you," Naraku said. Inuyasha growled and glanced at the arm lying in the grass. It was turning the green blades red.
"I promised Kagome I wouldn't die. I promised her I would protect her. I promised myself I would kill you!" Inuyasha lunged at Naraku again, but this time Naraku was ready. His other arm shot out and grabbed Inuyasha's face, and then he whispered three words. Inuyasha stopped struggling to break free of Naraku's grasp. Naraku lowered his arm. Inuyasha raised Tetsusaiga.
And decapitated Shippou.

Review! Constructive criticism and praises are welcome. Unconstructive criticism is not, I get enough of that at home.
