A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I was on vacation and couldn't write, all I could do was go online for a little while. I tried to leave a note for all of you but I couldn't post it for some reason. Anyway, I'm really sorry for the delay and I hope you will forgive me. Votes are still open and I still have Youko's picture, if anyone want it. Here's the long awaited chapter.
Ch.8 Meeting Old Friends II
'Naraku'
Kagome try to calm herself as she continues to watch the battle in front of her. Sesshoumaru and Naraku seem to have the same amount of damages and neither was winning. Youko was just watching the battle for Sesshoumaru told him not to interfere.
'I can't just sit here and watch, I've got to help them somehow, but how?'
Kagome's thought were interrupted once again as Sesshoumaru receive a deep slash from his right shoulder to the side of his chest. Blood sprung out from the wound as Sesshoumaru was knock back into a nearby tree.
"Sesshoumaru let me help you!" yell Youko, worries shown clearly on his face.
"No, stay away, this is my battle." Sesshoumaru said as he got up on his feet again. "Tell me, how did your skills improve so drastically over the last few months, Naraku?"
"Very observant Lord Sesshoumaru, you are correct, I am Naraku. I am here for the princess that possesses the power to see the Shikon Shards…" a sinister smirk crept onto his face "and make her my mate."
"EEWWW!!!" Kagome screamed before she can stop herself. Realizing what she did, Kagome covered her mouth but it was too late. All eyes were on her now.
"Princess Kagome? What are you doing here? I thought you were inside with Ryoko." ask a confuse Youko.
Knowing she can't hide any longer, Kagome slowly step out from behind the trees that conceal her form.
"Sorry, I know I was suppose to be inside but I couldn't just let you two fight alone against Inuyasha, well Naraku."
"Even so, I told you to stay inside. You are not strong enough to fight Naraku." Sesshoumaru scold.
"Well what was I suppose to do? Stay inside and do nothing while my friends are in danger?" Kagome shot back.
"I'd rather you do that then be out here. What if something happens to you? You're not strong enough to defend yourself yet." Youko, Kagome, and even Naraku were a little taken back at Sesshoumaru's sudden outburst.
"Stay here with Youko; I have to finish this fight." Sesshoumaru said at last, breaking the awkward silence.
Not far away from the battle Inuyasha and the others were still trying to look for Kagome
"Inuyasha, did you find Kagome's scent yet?" Sango ask just as Kirara flew closer to the ground.
"No, but I've found the scent of that demon I saw the other day. It's not far from here, if we hurry, we can make it there in less then 30 minutes.
"Then let's go." Kirara took off high into the sky again and fly toward the direction Inuyasha was heading to.
About 20 minutes later, Inuyasha stop at a tall cliff just above the battlefield. He looks around and his gaze finally stop at another who looks just like him. Anger boils throughout his body as he pull a transform Tetsusaiga out of its sheath charge.
"KAZE NO KIZU" Inuyasha yell as he aim for the scar in between the winds. (Did I spell that right?)
A smirk form on Inuyasha's lips as the blade cut through Narakus body, splitting him in half.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha?" Kagome ask as she takes step forward.
"What have you done with Kagome? And don't you even try to lye to me, I smelt her on you when you were at the village." Inuyasha said as grip the Tetsusaiga tightly in his hand, ready to strike if necessary.
"Listen to me Inuyasha, I am Kagome. During the night of my birthday, I changed into what you see now, a wolf demon." Kagome explain just as the others arrive at the scene.
"What's going on here?" ask Miroku as he got off of Kirara.
"This demon says she's Kagome, what a liar, she doesn't even smell like Kagome and she's hanging around with my brother!"
"Are you really Kagome?" ask a curious kitsune that's still on Kirara.
"Of course I am, you know I would never lye to you, Shippou." Kagome flash him one of her warm smile that made the kitsunes heart melt.
"YOU REALLY ARE KAGOME!!!" Kagome giggle as she caught a ball of fur coming toward her.
"I miss you so much Kagome, it's not the same without you around." Shippou cried as he hug Kagome tighter.
"I miss you too Shippou, I miss everyone, even Inuyasha." Kagome ruffle the young cub's hair as she stares at all her friends.
Distracted by the happy reunion, nobody has taken notice that there was a glow deep inside Naraku's body.
A/N: I know, I know, it's a crappy way to end a chapter but I had no choice. I'm really tired and I want to go to sleep, I'll try to update the next chapter as soon as I can. Please review, constructive criticisms are welcome too. Votes are still open and Youko's picture is still sitting happily on my desk if anyone wants to take a look at him.
