A/n: Hm. . .I should recognize all my reviewers cuz they're all so damn
nice! I'll do it next chapter. And yes for those people who want me to
update here it is. Between school and such I managed to get it up! And for
those who say that this is like "Second Chance" on that website, well
"Atsutane" was the only thing I copied, the name I mean. The story line I
have is totally different with my own twists, and it was just inspired from
it, not copied.
You Promised Me Chapter 10- Goodbye to You
Kagome walked slowly out of the forest. Staring blankly into nothingness. Her eyes had lost the sparkle and fire in them, now they were just pools of sorrow. Her friends, were just disappearing like the sun at dusk. Why did fate have to ensnare her into this endless cycle of death?
Her friends were beginning to worry, she had not spoken a single word since her incident with Kouga. Atsutane for one, had been spying on her from his perched position on branches. He didn't know as much as everyone else here, who their friends were, who their enemies were. It was another world, but it seemed like everyone else had gotten so accustomed to it.
A familiar buzz came from the treetops, accompanied with a whoosh.
"Naraku's near here." Sango said out loud, looking up at the passing insects.
"As well as Kikyou." Kagome whispered as she saw where that whoosh came from. Kikyou's soul swimmers.
They began to follow the trail the soul swimmers and poisonous wasps. Kagome was particularly worried, what would happen when Atsutane saw Kikyou?
Atsutane had no idea what was going on. Kikyou? Naraku? All familiar like a distant fairy tale. He joined the others, wherever they were going. He had heard about Naraku, having almost all of the jewel. He was the enemy, was he not?
* * *
They came upon a strange sight. The wind was blowing gently as two enemies collided their forces together. Kikyou was holding up her bow, ready to shoot at a moments notice. Naraku, standing there, his reincarnations were no where to be seen. Kikyou had thought about this beforehand, destroying Kanna and Kagura before her final battle with him.
Somehow, Kagome knew that this was the real Naraku, not another puppet. Miraculously, Kikyou must have sought him out of hiding. Kikyou had chanted some words, glowing in her own aura. She shot an arrow at the sky, burning a hole within the heavens.
"Onigumo, you know what that void's for. . .it's longing to harbor your corpse inside of it." She said wickedly, "And I'll be glad to deliver it."
(A/n: Maybe a lil harsh for Kikyou, but hey since all of you are just so convinced that she's just soooo evil. . .)
"We have to help her!" Sango said as she readied her boomerang, "Enemy or not."
"You will not interfere." Kikyou said coldly, holding up her hand and launching an invisible force, knocking Sango backwards onto a nearby tree. She was out cold, "Let that be a lesson to you all, this is my battle, I do not need the help of mere mortals, half-demons, or. . .reincarnations."
Naraku watched as she spoke to his weaker enemies, perhaps he could destroy them as well as Kikyou in a single day. He sent swarms of demons and poisonous wasps in their way. Kikyou was right, no one should interfere, especially when they weren't in his favor.
Kikyou watched as demons swarmed then, of course she didn't care, they could handle themselves. She locked eyes again at Naraku. He was summoning up the strongest demons that he had brainwashed. This would surely weaken her, so he could strike.
"Onigumo, are you too afraid to fight me on your own, that you have to summon your weak pathetic minions?" she laughed as she said out loud. The demons came at her with brute force, but dissipated almost instantly within three feet of her.
She had raised a sheild, she began walking slowly toward him. Her strides were sure, as if there was no hesitation to begin slaughtering him. She raised a hand up, reaching out for him.
Naraku had a million thoughts racing in his once-so-organized head, his human soul still had feelings for her, but his demon mind was ready to fight her and kill her. He started creating a spell in his palms, waiting for her to come close enough to get the full impact of the spell's blast.
Within three feet of her reach, she saw his spell and smiled as he hurtled it at her. She laughed at the wicked grin on his face, the faith he had in his useless spell, and the human heart that still beat inside him.
"I thought I told you, your makeshift spells have no use against me." She yelled as his spell bounced off her aura and landed straight back at him, "You'd best surrender the jewel peacefully."
But she knew that that statement hardly mattered. Naraku had depended on the jewel for his power, she knew he would not give up. But it was all the better to kill him and have him dying as a loser.
She knew that inside he was panicking, he was smart enough to figure out that he was going to perish soon. She touched his forehead, immobilizing his body, he couldn't do anything about it. All he could do was watch as Kikyou levitated the jewel from him, holding it in her hand.
"You wanted the jewel, to become a fully transformed demon, to give up the weaker side of your tainted soul, did you not?" she said, looking at his pitiful state without the power of the jewel, "It won't matter anymore who you are, so thank me, when I send you to hell!"
Kikyou aimed the jewel straight at his heart, forming purple ribbons of light stabbing his innards into pieces. As he was reduced to nothing but dark dust. The portal still in the sky sucked up his remains, banishing from this world forever.
"Now as for you, you posses the rest of the jewel shards." She said as she stared coldly at Kagome, "Seeing that you no longer will need to exist in this world, I will kill you as well."
She called on her soul stealers, as the twirled around Kagome and started lifting her into the air. Kagome was hanging from a dangerous height in the air. Her scream shattered Atsutane's mind, he had to save her, somehow. Now that Naraku, or whoever he is, was gone, his demons were too, leaving him able to concentrate on the task at hand.
If he destroyed Kikyou, then her flesh-like insects would surely die as well. Kikyou had let her guard down, Naraku was gone, she was sure that no one was left to attack her.
Atustane ran swiftly toward her, knowing he had to save his Kagome, he flexed his claws, ready to kill. His claws made contact with Kikyou's shoulder, but as he drew back, he noticed something was wrong.
'Kikyou is made out of. . .mud?' he thought to himself as it splattered to the ground.
"Why? Were you not the one who said that you'd protect me through it all?" she gasped out as her earthen body started to materialize, "But you've betrayed me once again. . ."
Her last words were whispered out as the wind blew her remains away. The soul stealers disappeared with her, she could finally rest in peace. Part of a soul shot out of thin air, landing straight towards Kagome's heart. Kagome began to drift gently to the ground, her eyes closed, and face emotionless.
She landed softly and then collapsed onto the ground. Atsutane approached slowly and carried her bridal style toward the others. Picking up the part of the Shikon jewel that Kikyou had left. Miroku had been watching from a distant, but soon lost interest as he noticed that his air rip had disappeared. Sango started stirring and awaking as her eyes focused on the clear meadow.
No Kikyou, no Naraku, they were all gone. Just Atsutane and an unconscious Kagome walking toward her. Explanations were exchanged as the new victors started heading homeward bound, with the Shikon jewel safely carried with them.
A/n: New chapter soon, I promise!! I have the whole thing planned out. Read and review. . .please!!! Please please please please. . .
