Chapter 8; The End Meets The New Begining

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sango and Miroku arrived to where the sworms of demons were heading towards them, they could tell immeadiatly that it would be no easy task to take them on, but they were ready for anything.

"Lady Sango, please be careful," Miroku told her genuionly.

"I will, Miroku, you don't have to worry about me." Sango reassured him. "Come on, lets go."

"Right," he said, smiling as the beautiful Sango readied herself for the assult.

Most of the demons were small, and taken down with little effort, but there were a few large ones as well, these would be no easy task...

They galently fought back the demons, Sango's boomerang could be heard a mile away, smashing into demon flesh, while Miroku's wind tunnel was made usuless by the presance of the hell hornets. So, using what he had, he took to smacking the demons with his staff... Looking helplessly after Sango, who was begining to appear a little over her head in the fight... It was going to be a long day... But with Kirara's help, there was a chance they could make it out ok...

"Miroku!" Sango called out, "I have a plan! Me and Kirara with attempt to take out the hell hornets! Maybe we can get rid of them and you will be able to help us!"

"Exellent plan, Lady Sango!" Miroku called out as he hit a knee-high spider demon as hard as he could across the back.

They tried, the really, really tried, but there were too many hornets, and they all skattered as Sango and Kirara attempted to attack them... Their battle was slowly falling into the catagory of "hopeless". Especially when Kohaku had made his appearance on the battle field...

~*~*~*~*~

Naraku was getting backed into a corner, the out look was not a good one, for him anyways... Kagome and Inuyasha fought well together, feeding off of one another's attack. Finally, they had Naraku where they wanted him... Kagome turned to Inuyasha and smirked, all they had to do was attack at the same time...

Kagome held up her hand as Inuyasha charged Naraku, the impact of the sword coinsided with the blow of power that was emitted from the miko's hand. It hit perfectly.

Naraku fell.

It happened so suddenly, the two fighters were at a loss of what they should do. They looked on at the site, and watched as demons appeared as if from no where, and devoured his corpse. And just like that, he was gone... Everything that they had worked for, everything they had gone through, all done for what happened in what seemed like an instant, their struggle was done.

Kagome fell to her knees, half laughing, have gasping, looking on at everything amazed, it was done. She looked at Inuyasha, whom hadn't moved an inch since Naraku had fallen, he was just starring on in shock, he looked as though he couldn't believe it. She stood up and pulled him into a hug, laughing all the while. It knocked him into reality as he returned Kagome's embrace, he laughed.

Kaede smiled at the prediction come true, and at the happy Inuyasha and Kagome, she had yet to see them so affectionate towards eachother, she thought it sweet.

Shippo, who had been watching in awe the entire time, was utterly speachless, shocked at what he saw. Naraku, who he had just had nightmares about the night before, was suddenly gone. Just like that. He wanted to run to Kagome, but his legs wouldn't move.

~~~

Sango, Miroku and Kirara were really getting in over their heads, Sango couldn't fight Kohaku, and she was begining get overcomed by the demons who where now surrounding her... Miroku looked on in horror, there was no way he was going to let anything happen to her, so he opened his wind tunnel, fully aware of the consiquences, but he had no other choice.

Sango was on the verge of giving in to the demons when she suddenly, she found that they were getting sucked into Miroku's wind tunnel.

"Miruko!!!! What the hell do you think you're doing?" She yelled franticly,"You know what will happen!"

"And if I didn't?" he asked, raising his voice to be heard over the sound of the wind tunnel," If I didn't, Sango, you would have fallen to the demons! There is no wat I would let that happen."

The hell hornets began to swarm towards Miroku's hand, and then, they disintigrated, around the same time Miroku's wind tunnel ceased working.

"Wha-?" Sango managed to squeak as she witnesses what happend. But she was not nearly as shocked as Miroku.

"It...It's, it's gone.."He manged to say as he stared at his hand, the one that once held a bottemless black hole, now it was a normal hand, nothing about it out of the ordinary.

They almost didn't notice as Kohaku fell to the ground, and the other demons slowly disappeared.

"Miroku... What's, what's happening?" she asked, taking it all in. They were done for, and just like that, the fight was over and in their favor...

"The only explanation, is Naraku's defeat...but... it couldn't be, could it?" he asked.

"Kohaku," Sango whispered as she saw him lying unconcious on the ground. She walked to him, kneeled down and pulled him into her arms...

"Sango," Miroku said tenderly as he came to be next to her, he kneeled down by her side and placed an arm comfortingly on her shoulder.

"He, he's breathing," she said in awe.

"Then it appeares that all is finally well in the world, doesn't it?" Miroku said tenderly.

"Oh Miroku!" Sango sobbed as she threw her arms around her neck and cried for joy onto his shoulder.

He held her, feeling wonderful, holding Sango just felt so right to him, he didn't dare let his hands wander, not now anyways. This was too good to let go of.

~~~

Suddenly, it struck Kagome and Inuyasha that Miroku and Sango had not yet returned...

"Maybe we should go look for them?" Kagome suggested.

"Yeah, I think we should,"Inuyasha replied.

"Hey, Kaede!" Inuyasha yelled,"We are going to find Sango and the Monk... We will be back later!"

"Go, go," she encoureged,"But I am sure that you shall find them just fine!"

Shippo just watched them go as he got up from his spot in the tree and went to stand next to Kaede.
