Chapter 12: Death
"INUYASHA!" But yet it wasn't Sesshoumaru who yelled. A greenish tornado spun right into Naraku, sending more of him in pieces.
Kouga stopped just short of Inuyasha's body and Kagome's.
"Ka-Kagome!" He yelled, frightened by her lifeless stare. He spied the blood gushing from Inuyasha's neck.
"Argh." He turned around, his lunch churning in his stomach. His shoulder clenched in pain.
"I got here to late...that miko delayed me..." He turned to Gesshoku. It was then everyone saw why he was talking so. Gesshoku's miko arrow was deeply embedded in Kouga's shoulder.
"Do you now see, Naraku? This was the interference in your barrier." Gesshoku said.
"Kill him, Gesshoku." Naraku instructed. Gesshoku did not move. "KAGURA!" Naraku yelled. Kagura sent many of her wind blades.
"FUJIN NO MAI!" She cried as she sent them to kill the wolf prince. She wouldn't have succeeded if Naraku hadn't pierced Kouga's chest from behind. He was thrown forward by the impact, right into Kagura's attack. Kouga's body was ripped to shreds.
Sesshoumaru stared with disbelief.
I didn't know...he was that...weak...
"Kagura, kill Sesshoumaru." Naraku instructed. Kagura faced Sesshoumaru slowly. He saw pain in her eyes. She jumped forward, as if to attack him but stopped right before him, her fan raised. She choked before falling to the ground, tears ripped out of her eyes. She started sobbing on the ground.
"Inu...yasha...Kago...me...Kouga..." was all everyone heard through her sobs.
"I can't take it!" She screamed, turning to Naraku and hitting him with everything that she had. He just frowned and extended his hand and started to squeeze her heart.
"That will do Kagura." He said, killing her quickly. She looked up at Sesshoumaru as she fell once again to the ground.
"Revive them...please..." She whispered, it being her last wish to the man whom she loved.
"Gesshoku." Sesshoumaru said turning, facing her. "I will revive Gengetsu if you kill Naraku." Gesshoku looked at him unsurely before having a look of surprise on her face. Sesshoumaru looked down, noting one of Naraku's tentacles right through his chest. His face contorted into pain as blood spilled from his lips. He fell to his knees. Three more stabbed through him quickly.
"Ugh." He said as they quickly pulled out. His eyes closed and he fell, what seemed like slow motion to Gesshoku, to the ground, the blood flowing almost gracefully into the air behind him. Beads of it flew up his cheeks from his mouth before hitting the ground with a slump.
Silver hair...gold eyes...I love him with the cresset moon...
Gesshoku screamed, clutching her hair, pulling it out in all directions.
"SESHOUMARU, NO!"
Naraku turned to her.
"Did you truly love him?" He asked smirking. Gesshoku kneeled to his body, putting all her healing powers into him, hoping that he was still alive.
"Don't." Naraku said, slapping her away. She concentrated and Naraku felt himself being twisted apart, from the inside out. He tried to fight it, but to no avail. Sesshoumaru slowly opened his eyes.
Why am I not dead?
It was then he saw her body, surrounded with light. It was then he knew she was killing herself to kill Naraku, yet bring him as much healing as he could.
"Ge...shouku..." He mumbled, watching her swallow herself in light. Naraku yelled in pain and vanished. Gesshoku fell to the ground. She got up slowly and crawled over to Sesshoumaru's body, thinking he was dead. She smiled in surprise at his eyes being open.
Gesshoku's breathing rattled. She picked up tenseiga and put it under Sesshoumaru's arm. Then she bent forward by his face and kissed his moon. Her lips softly trailed down his nose to his lips where they never did what she had hoped to do. Her body caved under her and she fell to his side.
He leaned over to her and looked deeply with in her eyes. He finished her last request. Her lips slowly turned cold under his own and he knew she had died. He kissed her on her forehead.
"Rest in peace." He whispered. Sunlight beamed down upon them and Sesshoumaru looked up. He saw the mangled bodies of his brother's group. Inuyasha's head had rolled a few feet away from his body. Kagome was on her stomach, dried blood encrypted on her uniform blouse. The monk...Sesshoumaru was surprised to see him also dead.
How did? When did he die?
Sesshoumaru found a jagged cut, signaling he had been cut in half. It was probably one of Kagura's wind blades. Sesshoumaru got up and walked over to him, and bent down to look at it further when Miroku's body suddenly split in half, his guts, water, and blood spilled over the ground. Sesshoumaru quickly turned away.
Kouga was lying in his own blood and guts. It seemed when he was punctured from behind; Naraku's tentacle had pushed his stomach and a few other organs out of his body. He had his blank blue stare in his eyes.
That Sango person...had escaped with her pet, Kirara, Shippo, and Rin. He sniffed the air and turned around, meeting the demon exterminator's glossy eyes. Kirara had blocked Rin and Shippo's view of the battlefield.
"MI-MIROKU!" She screamed, running to his body, wanting to sob into his chest, but knowing that she would've fallen through his body, she didn't. She looked up to see Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kouga. Her eyes even landed on Kagura. She crashed to the ground on her knees, sobbing hysterically into her hands. Sesshoumaru walked up behind her and pulled her to her feet, casting her aside.
"Did you just watch them die? Did you do nothing about it?" She screamed at him, flailing her arms at him. He smacked her hard across her cheek, sending her down to the ground, next to Miroku. Her eyes landed on him again.
"INUYASHA!" But yet it wasn't Sesshoumaru who yelled. A greenish tornado spun right into Naraku, sending more of him in pieces.
Kouga stopped just short of Inuyasha's body and Kagome's.
"Ka-Kagome!" He yelled, frightened by her lifeless stare. He spied the blood gushing from Inuyasha's neck.

"I can't take it!" She screamed, turning to Naraku and hitting him with everything that she had. He just frowned and extended his hand and started to squeeze her heart.
