ThE CLImaX!: Part 1

"Be careful Kikyo, knowing Naraku he's already set up many demons and traps for us," Kagome said holding onto her bow, with a readied arrow secured, tighter.

"You needn't worry about me, I'm dead and well aware of any traps that might want to kill me again," Kikyo smirked as she turned her head into a hallway. She saw the aura of demon behind one of the sliding doors. "Now, you be prepared, we have company up ahead."

Kagome nodded and pulled back her arrow as she turned the corner next to Kikyo. She could feel the demon but couldn't exactly figure what it was and what it was waiting for. "Kikyo, should we attack it?" Kagome found herself surprised at asking for orders from Kikyo, she usually would follow her own instinct.

"Quiet, it approaches," Kikyo pulled back her arrow also and watched as a foot emerged from the door ahead of them. Soon a whole body was revealed and it was all too familiar to Kagome.

"Kanna..." Kagome whispered to herself and then she thought of Kikyo, "Kikyo, she's going to take your...!" It was too late for a warning. Kanna had shot a surge of power at Kikyo and knocked her down.

Kagome kneeled down to Kikyo and lifter her head, "Kikyo! Kikyo!" Kagome shook her, trying to return her to conciousness, but to no avail.

"Kikyo," Kanna said only and held out her mirror. A white wave surrounded the two and Kagome touched the barrier to have her hand shocked away.

"What is this?" Kagome questioned as Kanna approached, "What do you want," she said as she raised her bow at Kanna.

She held out her mirror towards Kikyo and said one word, "Souls."

Kagome looked down at Kikyo and saw she was awake. The expression on her face showed pure pain and agony, she gripped her kimono as the lost souls of maidens flew into Kanna's mirror. "No! This cannot happen!"

Kagome gripped onto to Kikyo's hand as the last soul flew from her body. "No, I'm not going to let you die Kikyo!" 'Not when Inuyasha loves you so much!' Kagome gripped tighter to her hand and felt to energy between them surge through each other.

Kanna watched as the two glowed with a purple aura, "Kagome's soul. She's sharing it." Kanna walked over to Kagome and prepared to take her soul but when she got to close their energy cracked the mirror. She watched as the souls in her mirror flew out; including those of Kikyo's. "Yes, Kagome's soul it too big." Kanna turned and walked away with the barrier still erected over Kagome and Kikyo.

Kikyo looked up at the souls and whispered weakly, "My souls...," she turned her head to see Kagome's concentrating face. "You.." she watched as Kagome looked at her and smiled.

"You're alright."

"Why?"

Kagome's face saddened but she still held a smile, "If I told you, you wouldn't understand." 'But you would understand,' Kagome thought, 'But I just can't bring myself to say it: because Inuyasha would die if you did... Inuyasha!'

There they sat in a barrier sharing a soul. They had become one again.

*~*

"Ahhhhhh!" Sango yelled as Kohaku's sickle pierced her side. She fell to the ground and dodged his second attack with her boomerang. 'Damnit, he's gotten stronger, whatever Naraku has had him doing, god the things my innocent brother could have done, has increased his strength; including the jewel shard in his back.'

Sango got up and threw her boomerang and it hit. Kohaku dropped his sickle and Sango leaped onto him with her sword headed towards his neck; Kohaku held the sword between the palms of his hands. Sango gasped at the blood that splashed on her face. She loosened her grip and he threw her back.

She leaped up in time to be hit by her own weapon. She felt a rib crack as she hit the ground.

Kohaku grabbed his sickle and jumped into the air and he threw it down at her with and enormous amount of force.

Sango saw it comming and pulled up her sword, it cracked as his sickle hit and it slashed through her shoulder and collar bone causing her to become paralyzed. Sango's expression exposed fear, shock and pain from what had just happened. 'Brother...' and she began to barely drag herself away from his approach, "Kohaku, wake up! Fight him! KOHAKU, it's me SANGO, your sister!"

Kohaku stopped and thought, 'What is this womans face? It seems so familiar.' He blinked his blank eyes and as he did they regained their color. 'It's that woman from before. She saved me from that huge demon. What...' He looked down at the bloody sickle in his hands, "What have I done to you?" he bagan to shake and then fall to his knees.

Sango noticed the change in his eyes and began to, weakly, crawl to him. "Kohaku? Are you back?"

Kohaku looked up at her through his dewy eyes. "Look what i've done to you. There is not way I can apologize!" He broke into weak and terrified tears.

Sango worked her body up to walk to him. Though the pain was undescribibly copious she used all her remaining strength to embrace him in a hug. "Brother, it's okay," and she could feel her own tears falling with the mix of blood on her face. "Don't worry everything is going to be..." she spoke as Kohaku's bloody hand grabbed her throat. "Ko-haku..." Sango managed as she looked at his face.

"Wait, what am I doing?" Kohaku yelled standing and taking her with him. He was still the same but Naraku was controlling him. 'Kill her Kohaku,' he said in his head, 'take her life now, or would you rather like to be turned back to how you were so you can forget?'

Kohaku watched the pain twist on her face, and how his grip was so tight. "I don't want to kill her!" He yelled anywhere to wherever Naraku was listening.

'You will kill her no matter what,' Naraku chuckled from deep in the castle.

"Change me back!" Kohaku yelled without thinking. He didn't want to kill her but he didn't want to remember it either.

Sango looked at her brother with a pained face, but all Kohaku's saddened face could say was, "I'm sorry." Then his eyes became blank again and his grip evermore tighter.

'NARAKU!' Sango thought as she began to feel faint.

*_*

"I see you've gotten stronger, thanks to that stupid prince demon, Sesshoumaru," Kurogasa said licking his sword.

Rin smirked, "If he's so stupid then why am I standing in front of you with newer and better abilities?"

"Better abilities? Feh, like what?" He held his sword parallel and took his stance. Rin did the same, "From what I see your the same little girl that died a time ago." (A/N: I'm guessing that it's been 6 months, me forgot to keep track :-p)

"You'll find that I'm not going to be so easily defeated," Rin stared straight into his eyes thinking, 'I need to use my Lightening Blades at the end when I've weakened him enough, or if the times get tough for me.'

"Enough talk, lets begin!" He charged and struck his sword down but Rin dodged, 'She's gotten quicker.'

Rin appeared above him as she struck her sword down only to hit dirt, she drew her sword over her head avoiding his attack. She kicked his legs and knocked him down but before she attacked he was infront of her.

"Boo!" He said and struck down his sword. All was left of Rin was her after image. She was on the side of him, breathing regularly.

"That was a good warm up," she said cockily.

"I've underestimated you, before you moved like a turtle," Kurogasa bent his head to both sides and cracked his neck. "You're right, that was an excellent warm up. Now lets get serious."

He took off, into no where. Rin stood firm and waited for an attack on all sides. She could sence his movements, 'There!' She lifted her sword to hit his. "Is that all you got! I thought you said lets get serious!" Rin moved her sword too fast for him too see and before he knew it he had a gash on his cheek.

He jumped back and placed a hand on it, "I see you aren't serious yet either." He paced back and forth thinking of something to say or do that would make her lose herself like the last time they fought. Then it hit him.

"Do you love your brother?" He asked walking next Torumaru.

Rin took a better look at her brother: His blank brown eyes and his pale face, his hair was past his shoulders, figuring since he's been a zombie for so long. He was more built than before and there were scars from battles he'd once been in. But he was still her brother. "What kind of question is that!"

"I see you do, but with all the people he killed, everything, you'd still accept him?" He watched her expression noticing how it didn't change. "Well, if I were in your position, I'd hate hit and want to kill him!" He place his sword to Torumaru's neck.

Rin ran toward him with rage, "Stay away from him!" before she could take another step, he snapped his fingers and her brother was caught in chains. "What the hell are you doing?" Rin was confused, why was he tieing him up? What is he trying to prove?

Torumaru remained calm as the sharp chains cut into his skin. He ignored the blood falling down his body but stared blanky ahead of him, towards Rin. "Sister," he breathed and with that drove Rin crazy.

"Bring him down from there you evil son-of-a-bi-," Rin stopped as she felt him move. He was going to attack, or was he waiting for her? She jumped up high and he appeared in front of her, she swung her sword managing to get some of his hair. She forgot about him and headed for her brother.

"I'll get you out of here bro- yhaaa!" Rin screamed as she felt Kurogasa's blade hit her shoulder blade. She jumped away and crouched over. "You wanted me to go for my brother!"

He landed on the ground and laughed, "You know me all too well Rin."

Rin concentrated and felt the wound on the back of her shoulder begin to heal, but very slowly. 'Since I'm more in tune with my demon side I can use it's abilities.'

Kurogasa began to sniff, "Your scent is changing? I see you've changed in more ways than one." 'She has the scent of a demon in her, or is it something else it's so faint I can't pinpoint it. Well, we'll see soon enough.'

Rin lifted her head and brought her hand from her wound and gripped onto her hilt. "This is the end for you and Naraku have taken adavantage of me for too long!" Rin concerntrated and felt the bolts of lightening strike her sword and watched as it luminated with yellow energy.

"Lets start over! Time to die little human!" Kurogasa charged and prepared to use his special attack the Fang of Ash. The attack with the expansion of his sword and with fire turn his apponents to ash.

"This is for my brother you bastard!" Rin raised her sword and struck it down, "Lightening Blades!" The blades took off before Kurogasa could even begin his attack.

"No!" He yelled as he was shocked and turned to dust and blew away with the wind.

Rin fell to one knee and breathed in relief, 'it's over...' she thought as she touched the wound on her back, and held it there. "Torumaru," she said aloud remembering her brother was being bled to death.

His head was down and eyes closed when she arrived, but there was no blood. Rin watched as the chains dropped him to the ground and he lay still.

'Is he dead?' Rin thought as she slightly kneeld down and then extend her arm towards him.

As she did this, he grabbed his sheath. She sensed it and jumped back with only a scrape on her armor. She looked at her brother and saw his sweaty hair mixed with his hot breath plastered on his face; his eyes changed, they expressed hatred. His teeth were clenched together and his eyes narrow with anger.

"What is wrong with him? Why does he look so mad?" Rin asked to herself as she watched his breathing. It had been so long she hardly remembered her brother and who he was. It had been too long. She tried to recall what could have happened to make him appear this way, but none came to mind.

"You don't remember Rin? What you said to your brother before he left for MY castle? Think back, how you fumed with anger with what he did," Naraku's ominous voice rang in her head.

"You beast, you're lieing to me. You just want me to kill my brother. YOU FOOL there is no way i'd take the life of my own!" Rin yelled aloud to no one in particular. Then it came to her, the memory she forced herself to forget, she could feel and so could Naraku...

*

"No Torumaru! I will not let you go! You're too young to be going to battle far, far away from here; I forbid it!" Rin screamed to her brother as he pleaded. He had done somthing terrible that had disgraced the remains of their family. He had commited adultery with an engaged village girl. They had been secretly meeting after his training.

"Listen!" Toromaru said with a strong voice, he was young but he had the voice of a grown man, this would get him out of trouble a lot. "I know you're still mad but..."

"MAD?! I'm more than mad I'm infuriated! What you've done is ghastly! Do you know what would happen if you two were caught?! You'd be executed and she would be banished or killed also! You weren't even thinking of the consequences!" Rin breathed deeply after saying that in such a loud tone. They were outside the village so there was no one able to hear them.

Torumaru, as his duty as a man stood up for himself, "I can do what I want, I'm not a little kid anymore, Rin. I can do as I please."

Rin looked at him stricken. Her brother never talked to her that way, ever in their life. She walked to him and put her hands on his shoulder; she could sense what he was feeling, but he noticed and backed away.

"Don't try that on me! Don't use Mom's ability on me! You know, I never want you to touch me, speak to me or look at me!"

Rin was really mad now, she pulled her sword from it's sheath and held it at his neck, "How dare you treat your elder sister with such disrespect. I should throw you out in the rain tonight! If Mother and Father were still alive they'd teach you a lesson far worst than I." She returned her sword back to it's sheath and walked from him.

"You're nothing like Mother and Father," he said quietly but loud enough for Rin to hear.

It hit her hard, "I know that-" she turned to him with a plain face, "You wish me dead, I felt it in you before you pushed me away, you wish you never had a sister."

Torumaru looked at her with shock. Throughout his life it took his sister forever to read his emotions, but now that she was in her womanhood, she was much faster. This was unexpected to him; he stayed silent.

"Do you deny it?"

He expression showed it was true.

Rin lowered her head and a single tear fell, "Knowing this has brought back what I felt 16 years ago, 'Why did Mother have to have another child?'"

His head jerked in anger as he walked to her and slapped her in the face. "You wench!"

Rin struck him down with her fist as she rubbed her face, gingerly. When he tried to raise she placed her foot on his chest, "You have struck that of your own! You will not be sleeping in the home our parents built; nor will you live! As the order of your elder sister, you will take your things and leave for good!" Rin removed her foot from his chest and walked back to the village.

*

"Yes, I remember..." Rin paused and closed her eyes with a smile, "I was so serious then. I hardly wore a smile, I stopped when they died. Then I met Sesshoumaru and everyone else and I seemed to lose a little bit more of what I carried along with me." She raised her head and stared softly at her brother.

"Aye, you had drove your brother to go to battle the next day, he even asked you to join him because he felt a little scared but you shunned him. He hates you now for that, you let him be surrounded by demons and let me take his half dead body. You are a heartless sister. You see, it was not me who caused your brothers demise but you." Naraku could feel her breaking down, but he felt himself also.

Rin was reading his emotions as of then, "You, Naraku are a fake, you were a human that was evil and had a love for a priestess. You sacraficed yourself to the demons and Naraku was born. You carry the same love for that preistess and you are broken deep inside. Onigumo wants out of you." Rin opened her eyes realizing what she'd just said.

"I was born of Onigumo, but he no longer exist, nor does his feelings," Naraku finished and dropped the connection to her. He walked to the Shikon Jewel and gripped it in his hands, absorbing some of it's power. "This isn't over yet."

Rin lifted her sword in it's position and never took her glare off her brother, "My dear brother, I hated you in your time of need and I erased you from our family. I'm truely sorry. I still love you always brother, now and in the afterlife."

Sesshoumaru noticed how all the demons were beginning to shorten in numbers. Their batte with them was nearly over.

He turned as he saw Rin facing a man who was nearly identical to her, "That boy must be her brother. The battle has finally come for her. I must not interfer." He turned and when he did a flash of her smiling face appeared in his head. He jumped next to her but she didn't move, nor take her glare from her brother.

"Rin."

"Go away Sesshoumaru, I can handle this on my own."

He noticed her tone and started at her face with question, 'Why is she acting this way, she's almost as emotionless as I? Naraku must have made her this way.'

"Sesshoumaru," Rin whispered shakily, he heard. "Tell Kagome that Naraku is somewhere westword in the castle. Tell her to get the jewel and run. I want him."

Her voice was carressing and soft. He nodded and leaped away from her.

Rin turned her head slightly as he left and tears left her eyes, "Though it is right to tell Kagome... I wish you were by me as I fight." She felt weakened and her vision blurred.

"Die Sister!" Torumaru yelled as he charged.

-O_O-;

"Tet-susaiga!" Inuyasha yelled as he slaughtered the approaching demons. As their remains fell he searched for his brother. "Hey were'd Sesshoumaru run off too?"

Kouga flicked blood of his claws and went after another demon, "Like I would know, Mut, I'm over here having a good workout."

A vein buldged on Inuyasha's head as he cracked his knuckles; as he ran towards Kouga he yelled, "WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME A MUT!" Inuyasha swung his sword but Kouga dodged and Inuyasha ended up hitting an approaching demon.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called at her best from inside the darkness of the castle. It was the faintess call but Inuyasha heard it.

He turned in the direction of where her scream came but could not catch her scent. "What the hell?"

"What is it?" Kouga asked just about ready to pound Inuyasha head into the dirt.

Then, he felt it, Kagome's energy, "You stay here I got bussiness to take care of!" He took off jumping away and over demons trying to go as fast as he could to reach Kagome.

(^_^) (^_^)

Sesshoumaru felt Kagome's energy too and that of Kikyo's but he was concentrated on one thing: Feeling Naraku's blood on his hands, for Rin's sake. He could tell she was weakened from the battle with Kurogasa and the blood was easy enough to smell and see. Yet, she was regaining her energy faster than any other human; faster than she had before.

He jumped to the ground as a powerful gust of wind flew overhead it was no ordinary wind but one made by Kagura.

"Where are you? I do have something for you also," he said aloud into the air.

Moment's later Kagura came twirling in from a tornado. Her hair continued to sway though the wind was gone and her eyes glowed even brighter with the light of the moon. "Ah Sesshoumaru, what a pleasure to see you again. I missed your beautiful face so much while I was away."

Sesshoumaru wasn't suprised by this, she always says a line like that when she appeared for him. "I see you had to increase your power to get what you want, how weak." Kagura just smiled. Sesshoumaru smirked and got ready to reach Naraku.

"Ah, Ah, Ah, you aren't going to reach that bastard before me," Kaugura's voice threatened as she whipped her hair towards him causing the force of wind to knock him back into a wall of the castle.

Sesshoumaru stood, with a small look of suprise on his face. 'That wind was faster than what I've ever seen from a demon such as her. She has done her work to increase her power. Yet, what she did, she will regret.'

"I'm so sorry for that, but I had to get it through your conceded head that I will be the one to destroy Naraku."

Sesshoumaru drew an evil expression to his face and his eyes glowed red, "I told you what the consequesnces were if you'd betray me. Now die." Sesshoumaru pulled out Toukijin and the power of it shot out at Kagura.

"For such a strong demon as you, you should know better than that," she began to twirl as she said that, a gaint tornado formed around her and when the power of Toukijin hit; it reflected faster, towards Sesshoumaru.

He cringed and jumped out of it's path. "You will not win with such pity wind tricks!" Sesshoumaru swung his sword and a strong force headed for her.

Kagura pulled out her fan and held it in front of her, "Dance of Dragon!" The wind tornado's grew when they connected with the attack.

"What?" Sesshoumaru jumped high as the tornado's approached him as they hit the ground it created a huge crator that took out most of the buildings on the north-west side.

Kagura placed her finger to her lips, "Please don't tell Naraku that I did that, he'll be so mad, but that will be fixed when I hold his head in my hands!" Watching as Sesshoumaru was in the air she flaped her fan and a gust of wind surrounded him.

He struck the barrier with Toukijin but it was knocked back. "What is this?"

Kagura flew up to him and smirked, "I want to keep you in hear so you wont interfer, no one will be able to hear you if you yelled for the wind will absorb every sound you make and no one will know where you are..." They began to float upward, "I'll keep you high and out of sight."

"You actually think that this will keep me barricaded? You are sadly mistaken."

"Try to get out, you'll just end up with cuts and deep flesh wounds." Kagura turned and began to fly away, "Now, I have a funeral to attend." She then began to fly slowly towards the section of the castle Naraku was hiding in.

Sesshoumaru tried Toukijin but the end result was the same no matter how much harder he struck. He wouldn't even think of yelling for help, that was for weak demons and he certainly wasn't one. He thought of Rin fighting her brother and if she needed help he wouldn't be there to help her. 'How foolish was I to be imprisoned by such a weak demons as her. Rin...'

(^-^) ^(^-^)^

Kikyo watched as the many of Kikyo's soul gatherers held onto souls and flew around with them, waiting for the barrier to fall where they could send them to Kikyo's body. 'How can you live, well, go on like this, Kikyo? Living off the souls of dead maidens, it's so sad how you need those to go on.'

Kikyo, opened her eyes and said sadly, "You love Inuyasha, don't you?" Her eyes were soft and alone. Kagome couldn't help but express herself to her.

"I guess I do; it wasn't long ago when I realized that," Kagome knew the consequences for what she was exposing but she took the chance.

Kikyo brought a small smile across her lips, "I noticed this when I first saw the change in him, you've taught him to love, something I was hoping to do when I was alive. But I see you have fulfilled it for me. In some way I am glad."

Kagome found this as a suprise to hear from her. The one person who she died for, for love has found someone else to fill the empty space. "Kikyo I-"

"Kagome! Kagome! Where are you?" Inuyasha's yell approach from down the hall of which they came.

"Here Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled in responce.

"Inuyasha..." Kikyo said weakly as she began to drift into the eternal sleep.

Kagome's soul slowly began to return to her, "No. Inuyasha hurry!" Kagome concentrated to keep her soul into Kikyo but she only slowed it down.

Tetsusaiga was out and it glowed red, "Tetsusaiga!" Inuyasha yelled as he ripped though the barrier. "What's happened to her?!" Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusaiga and held onto Kikyo's body. He looked up at Kagome with desperation, "Did Naraku do this?"

"Kanna," Kagome said sadly and lowly as her soul that she shared returned to her, she backed away and let the two have their moment.

Inuyasha looked above him at the hovering souls and the Soul Snatchers that dropped them into Kikyo's weak body. He watched as the color in her cheeks returned and he lightly shook her to get her conscious, "Kikyo, Kikyo?"

She looked at him with half opened eyes, she then looked at Kagome who looked fine and was gathering her arrows yet the expression on her face showed her depression. "Inuyasha, I'll be fine, this body is getting filled quickly, go on and find Naraku."

Inuyasha looked at her with a shocked expression, "What do you mean? I'm not leaving you hear, something could happen to you while I'm gone!" Inuyasha gripped tighter onto her. "I told you that the only one who can protect you from Naraku is me, and I intend to protect you from him NOW."

Kagome could hear no more, she stood and walked quietly away from them and too find the jewel on her own, her only company was the sound of her muffled tears.

Kikyo, grabbed an arrow and held it to Inuyasha's neck, "Go now or I'll kill you."

Inuyasha stared at her with an incredulous expression, "Why are you doing this to me Kikyo?"

Kikyo swallowed and held the arrow closer, "There is someone who is more important than me right now, who needs you now. She's waiting for you, now go."

Inuyasha thought of who she was speaking of and then his face softened and he rose. "Take care of yourself Kikyo."

O.o

Kagura unleashed her Wind Blades and destroyed the wall that covered Naraku. They locked eyes and they both had equal evil smirkd. They knew exactly what was going on between each of their minds. Their Deaths.

"I see you've decided to use my jewel shard, mind you, it suits you well," Naraku complimented with a slight chuckle.

"I see you swallowed the jewel already," Kugura looked at Naraku's new appearance, his hair was longer and his face was much wilder, his eyes were a dark red and he was suited as a rich nobleman. He handn't changed much but if you were a demon you could sense the power radiating from his body. Yet this did not scare Kagura, "I see you still haven't become fully demon, I still smell the blood of that bandit, Onigumo."

"That may be true but, his petty emotions can no longer affect me!" Naraku held up his arms and flexed, "With the nearly completed jewel I'm practically invincible!"

"Die!" Kagura clicked her fan and thousands of dead demons surrounded him.

"I know all of your moves Kagura, you wont be able to stop me!" He outstretched his hands and black energy exploded around the demons. They began to screech and then they too exploded.

"Fool!" Kagura came through the smoke and sent wind out towards Naraku. The fast wind sliced his skin and his demon blood erupted out of his body. He fell to one knee and breahted deep.

"Wench!" he breathed out as his blood began to stream out of him.

Kagura laughed and walked towards him, "See how it feels to have your blood drained from you." She paused then laughed, "With this shard and my heart with me, there is no one that can take control of me!"
