A/N: (Checks outside my door) Good no one came to hurt me - yet. I hope you
guys enjoy it even though its so horrible, as in what Inuyasha and Kagome
are both suffering through. Also tell me if you don't get anything. Please
don't stop reviewing cause you think what's happening is really stupid.
Gomen Nasai to everyone who is angry at me for doing this, but it's in
order to get the story moving and build up the suspense and the conflict
and yadda yadda yadda. It'll get better, I promise! I'll use all my talent
in writing and make this story worth every bit of your time! Love ya!
Disclaimer: I almost forgot to put this again! Bad Michelle, bad, bad, bad Michelle. I don't own Inuyasha.
Warning: Uh, I don't know of any yet cause I didn't write the chapter yet. Later I'll write one. Maybe the same one about the gory parts in fighting. It's pretty grotesque with that freakishly active imagination I have. (Bloody too! .)

The Decision
Crying Rain
"K-Kagome-chan?" Sango called out in strangely shaky high voice.
Sango timidly but instantly inched over toward Kagome, numb with feeling. When she got near enough she slowly knelt down and peered over.
Miroku standing a few feet away from Sango didn't notice that Sango had left her place beside him, but definitely heard the audible gasp emitting from Sango's lips. He quickly noticed her discomfort and quickly strode over.
"Sango-chan! Has anything happened! What's wron-!" Miroku asked, but was cut off by the look on Sango's face.
"Houshi-sama! She- Kagome-chan-she st-stopped bre-breathing!" Sango cried as she choked back another round of tears. Her hot pink mascara ran down her cheeks mixed with her tears of despair.
Miroku looked on solemnly and a single visible tear ran down his face, but the look was suddenly hardened with hatred. He stood up and glared at Naraku.
"YOU! Do you know what you've done? One our most important friend has just died by your hands! On behalf of her and everyone else you shall pay!" Miroku cried as he rushed forward ignoring the cries from Sango.
Suddenly a hand blocked his way. He looked into Sango's eyes.
"BAKA! If you attack now, it'll be like suicide! Do you think dying will HELP KAGOME-CHAN!!?!!"
"Very true, very true. My, you all seem so eager to die for that meddling girl. HA! Idiots indeed."
Inuyasha was quiet every since Sango announced Kagome's death. After Naraku made his comment Inuyasha looked up. His eyes were full of melancholy and bloodlust. He had transformed.
"Die." Inuyasha lunged at Naraku, but Naraku was occupied and escaped at the nick of time, with a deep gorge down the middle of his torso.
Inuyasha seeing the deep cut started with a maniac laugh echoing all around the deadly silent courtyard. Suddenly his maniac laughter ceased.
"This time I won't miss" He snarled with eyes blood red, and lunged again.
This time Naraku knew it was coming and set up a barrier. Inuyasha was blasted back and he got up instantly and ran towards it again, this time with enough force to force himself in, gaining a lot of bloody gorges on his body. He made his claws grow six times the original length and he stabbed at Naraku and twisted. A look of pain froze Naraku's cold features. Naraku glared at Inuyasha.
"How dare you!" Naraku screamed and blasted an attack at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha was too fast for him and he dodged and kicked Naraku on his chest, which sent him staggering backwards. Inuyasha jumped a few feet away and plastered a wicked grin on his face. His face was splattered with Naraku's blood and his body was covered with deep cuts.
"Blood." Inuyasha said with wicked humor in his voice. He flicked his fingernails that plunged into Naraku and the blood splattered on Kagome accidentally. When Inuyasha looked at the blood on Kagome his face became pained and he was laughing, crying, and had that maniac grin on his face the whole time.
Out of the blue, the Shikon light blinded everyone once more. When the light cleared away Inuyasha's face was pained and tears were running down his cheeks, yet he was still laughing, but much quieter. Suddenly he doubled over with a painstaking look on his face. His normal eyes returned. He stopped laughing and he was crying, all the while clutching his head with his bloody hands. He let go of his heads and looked at his bloody hands in disbelief.
"Why! Why is this happening! Kagome.!" Inuyasha whispered his voice strangely high and in distress, as he stared at his bloody hands. His eyes turned blood red once more.
"I'll avenge your death, 'dear' ". Inuyasha laughed maniacally and flashed his teeth at Naraku.
"Enough with the talking! Go die already!" Naraku spat out his blood dripping out of his wounds.
He threw a ball of energy at Inuyasha, but Inuyasha didn't block or dodge it, he simply stood there. When the energy ball cleared away Inuyasha was once again back on the floor clutching his head. His eyes faded from red to amber, amber to red, red to amber and amber to red once more. It faded in and out between the two colors.
"STOP!" Inuyasha cried and his eyes turned blood red once again. "This time it'll be for real."
He lunged and struck flesh. It appears that Inuyasha struck Naraku's chest. He yanked out his nails and blood spouted out. Naraku's eyes went wide and he dropped down on his knees and he spit out blood.
"Hah! You fool. Kill me, come on, kill me. You can't bring that wench back to life! Mission Complete. She died, you turned into a killing maniac, who will soon die also, Kikyou is actually really dead, and the Shikon is no use anymore.." With that remark Inuyasha's eyes became void as he came to notice that what Naraku said was true. He dropped to his knees, oblivious that he was still in a fight.
"Inuyasha's not crazy!" Shippou wailed in the distance. He was watching all along with tears on his face, he was actually trying to buy some time and stall so Inuyasha wouldn't be attacked unknown to him.
"Oh is that so?" Naraku turned on him, and Shippou gulped.
"You idiot, Inuyasha's NOT crazy." Shippou repeated louder.
Naraku created a ball of energy the same one that damaged Kagome severely. Shippou flinched and right beside him Kohaku slipped in front of Shippou, bracing himself for the attack. Sango's eyes widened and she ran in front of Kohaku, and she was ready to take the attack. Miroku grabbed Ayame, Kouga's men, and Kouga and threw all of them to cover Sango, and he ran towards Inuyasha right at the moment Naraku released his energy ball, as it flew to Inuyasha, who was unguarded. The energy ball was actually meant for Inuyasha. Sango instantly noticed and tried to run to Miroku, but at that moment Naraku used his free hand to force an indivisible energy force towards the group which sent them flying backwards. The energy ball was going to hit Inuyasha, and Miroku jumped in at that moment protecting his best friend.
As if the attack on Miroku had an effect on Inuyasha, he snapped out of his void, just in time to see Miroku fall in front of him from the attack that was meant for him.
"MIROKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed as he helped Miroku sit up.
"Inuyasha, I saved you this time, I don't know who can save you next time, but you better promise me it's not going to be Sango!" Miroku smiled that casual smile he always flashed as if nothing happened.
"No! MIROKU! NO! NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Inuyasha yelled as Miroku gave his last smile to Inuyasha and his friends and then as a que the Shikon Light appeared once more 'taking' the life of Miroku.
Sango gasped and scrambled off the floor and ran to Inuyasha and Miroku. When she kneeled down next to Inuyasha, she was already crying. Gently she took Miroku from Inuyasha and held him tightly. No more perverted gestures were made, and no more Sango's-butt-violation was made by our favorite pervert. Sango cried into Miroku's shoulder and hugged him tightly. He was already turning cold.
"Miroku, please don't die!! Please! I, I, I LOVE YOU! Miroku! Mirokuuuuu!" Sango sobbed into his clothes. Kohaku went over to comfort his sister, and when he got near enough he said.
"I knew you loved him!"
Sango cried even harder at that comment and after her tears were all spent she kissed Miroku on the cheek gently. "I will avenge you." And she stood up holding her boomerang. She told Kirara to bring Miroku next to Kagome and protect their bodies. As if it were meant to be, Kikyou, Kouga, his wolf-friends, Ayame, Shippou, and Kohaku filed next to Sango, who stood in front of Inuyasha shielding him from Naraku.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU THINK YOU WILL WIN? PATHETIC! INUYASHA, HIDING FROM ME! POPOSTEROUS! SACRIFICING YOU FRIENDS FOR YOUR SAFETY? YOU SHAMELESS WASTE! YOU'RE WORSE THAN ME! HAHA!" Naraku laughed coldly, with no humor in his voice at all.
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM INUYASHA!" Sango yelled over Naraku.
"Baka, don't even think about listening he's just trying to trick you!" Kouga called.
"Inuyasha! If you die what'll we do without you?" Shippou cried.
"If YOU guys die what will 'I' do without you??!" Inuyasha growled back and tried to break through his chain of friends.
"Inuyasha, don't be reckless, don't rush in at every taunt!!!!" Everyone else cried in unison.
"NOW YOUR GOING TO CHICKEN OUT?! YOU LISTEN TO HUMANS TOO! HUMANS! PATHETIC HALF-YOUKAI!" Naraku taunted.
Inuyasha couldn't stand it and he rushed forward breaking the chain of his friends. As soon as he rushed forward Naraku blasted a death energy ball at him. Everyone saw it before and jumped in front of Inuyasha knocking him backwards and they took the attack.
"Inuyasha, avenge our deaths." Sango whispered as she and the others went limp and the Shikon light engulfed them once more. Now it was only Inuyasha and Naraku left.
"You killed all my friends. All of them! You even killed each and every one of their family members! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Inuyasha growled as he lunged forward. Naraku put up a barrier, and Inuyasha used Red Tetsusaiga to break through it. Naraku used an energy ball and Inuyasha dodged it. Naraku used his tentacles to try to grab Inuyasha, but Inuyasha chopped it off. Naraku was too fast, he could only dodge and not attack. Kagura saw what was happening and she decided to help.
Kagura used her strongest winds to help Inuyasha. Inuyasha used Cutting Wind on Naraku, but it only weakened him slightly. Kagura used her winds to blow back Naraku, and Naraku instantly made Kagura's heart appear. Kirara quickly took the time to jump forward and knock the heart out of his hands giving it to Kagura. He also took out Kanna's heart to summon her but Kagura knocked that one out and gave it too Kanna, now they were both free. The Shikon light appeared and blinded them once more and Naraku was frozen in place for a few moments.
"Naraku, you killed the ones dearest to me, and the only one dear to you, is you. So I will kill your dearest one, too."
Right that moment Naraku used all his power, everything in his power and directed it at Inuyasha.
3 swift exuberant strokes from Tetsusaiga did it, specifically aiming them at a suspicious spot that he found in that 1 second. If it were a second later he would've died also.
In three swift strokes Inuyasha used all his power also to use Bakuryuuha, and coil up Naraku's youki with Inuyasha's and counter-flow it, turning it into little tunnels of razor sharp wind and it ripped up and demolished Naraku.
"You lost Inuyasha, your nightmare came true, all your friends died. Even though you killed the greatest youkai of all, your closest friends all died. Forever! You will become cold and lonely once more, and on top of everything you broke the girl's heart by not choosing her, and she died for you! She defended you while I was questioning her why she loved you so. She was defending you with all her strength. HAHAHA! You will never be rid of me! NEVER!" Naraku cried his last words while laughing his head off like a maniac (sounds like one too).
Naraku died. His friends died, Kirara died from shielding Inuyasha, Kagura and Kanna were gone and free, and over all he was left all alone, choosing the wrong decisions. While he was walking slowly to Kagome's body, the castle and it's surroundings started to clear away and like dust, it blew away with no trace it had ever been. Just as if there was never a fight, his friends didn't die, and he wasn't alone. By the time Inuyasha got to all his friends, everything had cleared away, but the clouds were still there just as sad and covering the sky, as if they supported the whole world on their shoulders and they had to hold up the sky, and look down on chaos.
He stood next to Kagome and looked at her with no expression on his face. His face didn't betray any of his feelings and nothing he did seem to tell what he was feeling. He stared at her for a long time and he dropped on his knees next to her. He was facing her on his knees. His expression didn't look blank anymore. It was an expression of lost, love, yearning, confusion, dread, and most of all despair. The fabric on Inuyasha's outer red shirt he used to cover Kagome was turning dark red from the water droplets. 'Is it raining?' Inuyasha wondered as he stared at Kagome, soon enough his eyesight became blurry and fuzzy. It wasn't rain it was his tears. 'Am I crying? Why am I crying? Naraku's dead. And Kagome doesn't have to bug me no more, Kikyou has her revenge, Miroku and Sango can be together in death, and everyone is finally resting in peace, why am I still crying??!?!?' It started raining. The droplets of his tears and the rain mixed together and it rolled down his face.
Why am I crying?
Why? Why? Why?
Inuyasha pounded the ground in frustration while his body shook with pain, sorrow, and because he was crying at the same time. He clenched his eyes shut, hoping to stop the on-flow of tears. (Is on-flow a word or did I make it up? It's supposed to mean the flow of tears etc.) If he cried, it would mean that his friends really did die, it would mean he gave in. But even despite his efforts, he couldn't stop crying. It just rolled down his cheeks and mingled with the raindrops.
"Why..why..why..WHY!?!?!?!?!" Inuyasha screamed. "WHY!! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME! WHY!!!! WHY!?!!?"
Bright white light shone from the Shikon. The bodies of all his friends woke up - all except for Kagome. Even though Inuyasha noticed all his friends were alive he didn't make any notion of showing it. He was on his knees and his hands were balled into fists both on the floor (He was on all fours). All his friends got up and formed a circle around him looking on anxiously.
Shippou made a move towards Inuyasha, but was suddenly stopped by Miroku. Inuyasha took a shaky breath and tried to stop his irregular breathing, but failed. He got up shakily and stumbled a bit. Miroku made an attempt to go to Inuyasha, but Sango stopped him. Inuyasha turned around to face Kagome. He looked deeply into her, wishing that'd she'd wake up. Slowly he bent down and scooped Kagome into his arms, gently. He got up, but suddenly dropped down to the floor again. This time everyone made an attempt to go to Inuyasha.
Before Inuyasha passed out from grief, exhaustion and loss of blood, he saw his friends coming at him, and then he sank into the depths of the darkness, hugging Kagome to him.
A/N: Wow, I had to stop about 3 times from writer's block. I ended the chapter in the only I thought fitting. So don't hate me, sorry. But I'll write the next chapter soon! Don't stop reviewing! REVIEW!!!!! Arigatou for staying so long with me!
