They arrive on the scene where poison insects are surrounding Inuyasha and Kelala, Miroku on the ground unconscious.
Kagura laughing: Kohaku finish them.
Sango falls to the ground shocked that her brother is controlling the army of insects.
Why did it have to be Kohaku? Why? Naraku I will slay you myself!
Sango remember he didn't have the heart to kill me. Kohaku's spirit is still alive somewhere deep inside. We just need to find the key to release his soul.
I'm afraid Kagome! Terrified that I will have to kill him my own flesh and blood.
Stop blabbering. We could really use your help about now! Miroku is unconscious and I can't take on all these poison insects, Kagura, and that lil' shit Kohaku myself. (Kelala protecting Miroku's limp body from the swarm).
SHUT IT! HE DOSEN'T MEAN IT! Kohaku please stop.
(Kagura heartily laughs). My child Kohaku will never remember he chooses not to. He's Naraku's lil' toy now and theirs nothing you can do about it.
Yes there is! Free him and I will give my life until my death to serve Naraku.
What the hell are you doing Sango? You're supposed to be working with Kagome and me to destroy Naraku.
Why should I free him when I can have you too? If you want to be with your beloved little brother join him. If you love him, join him.
NO! You can't. It won't help you save Kohaku.
I make my choices for myself I don't need you to tell me what I can and can't do.
(Kagura silently mumbles under her breath) Hmmm, if I bring Sango and Kohaku as a gift to Naraku I may be able to trade them for my freedom.
Kagome shocked and hurt at Sango's response.
NO! You can't Sango.
It's the only way.
NO! There are other ways. There has to be.
Little girl I will no longer listen to you. All you have done is twist and distort the truth. In the end Naraku will be the only one alive. It would be better to be alive then see my brother dead if I stay with you.
She's right wretched girl. You should listen to her.
Shut up Kagura. Sango it's not the only way you can be with Kohaku.
Kagome just let her go. I need your help right now.
Surprised at what Inuyasha is saying Kagome's expression turns to disgust. She begins to turn away, not wanting to see this outcome she begins to leave. The smell of tears in the air.
Stop Kagome! The insects have stopped attacking. (Shippo yells still on Kagome's back)
The insects' buzz, loud roars making everyone wince. Kagome turns around to see the halted attack. Thousands of wings beating the air like drums. The horrible noise.
(Inuyasha whispers to Kagome). She knows what she is doing!
Now that the insects have stopped attacking Inuyasha had time to revive Miroku. Now awake, Miroku removes the cover on the wind tunnel and begins sucking in thousands of poisonous insects knowing not how much longer he can keep it up. (Shippo begins shaking frightened at what's happening around him and to Miroku).
NO! What are you doing? Kohaku attack him; stop him from sucking up the insects. Kill him. No, kill them all.
NO! Don't move Kohaku. Please listen to me. I am you sister and I love you. If you attack Miroku you will surly be sucked in and destroyed by his wind tunnel.
Kohaku pauses. He turns to face Sango his eyes black with no emotion. Suddenly a flash of light. Not knowing where it came from Sango closes her eyes.
"THUD"
Sango flung open her eyes to see blood splatter the ground so near her feet. The flash from Kagome's sacred arrow penetrating the flesh of Kohaku's arm causing him to fall to the ground. With this Kagura decides it's time to retreat but not after trying to kill Kohaku with her wind razor attack.
Kohaku! It can't be. He can't be.
Kohaku's body lies limp and motionless on the forest floor. The moss tinged with dark blood.
Kohaku No! (Tears streaming down Sango's face)
Sango you will work for us. I accept your proposition. You now work for Naraku. With Kohaku out of the way Naraku will have to kill one less mortal and he will be pleased for I have replaced his loss of a soldier with a new stronger one.
Sango will never work for Naraku. Not as long as I live.
My child that won't be much longer. I attest to that.
Kagura if you want to live today I suggest you leave.
Sango that's no way to talk to your new manager. I expect more respect than that.
With that Kagura began her retreat.
I will be back soon to claim what is mine.
How can you shoot at my brother Kagome?
It had to be done.
No, he was listening to me.
No, he was drawing his weapon to attack you.
No! He couldn't have, wouldn't have attacked me. He loves me as much as I love him.
Your just lucky Kagome's aim was off.
What are you talking about Inuyasha?
Without Shippo shaking like a leaf, Kagome's arrow would have pierced his heart.
Kagome how could you try to kill my brother?
He's not your brother anymore. He's tried to kill all of us multiple times.
Kohaku is still there, but deep inside hiding. If I could only…
If! If is such a big word.
Now is not the time to be arguing. Kagome was doing all of us a favor. With Kohaku dead Naraku would have nothing to hold over our heads. Nothing to make us betray each other.
What do you have to do with this Miroku?
Excuse me? He has a lot to do with this. He sucked in thousands of poison insects and demons multiple times to save each of our skins.
Now angry and disgusted with herself Sango breaks down into tears over her brother's body.
Wait! I don't think he's dead.
What are you talking about Shippo?
His fingers they moved.
Sango's spirit lifting.
He's alive. Kohaku is alive.
