The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 30-
Using the Pure Soul

Sesshomaru and Koga already started to fight while Inuyasha let's his Tetsusaiga transform when he pulls it out. While Naraku gets to his true form and creating a miasma around the area. Sango and Miroku gets their weapons and started to run to Naraku. Shippo is just sitting on Kirara's head while Kirara fights along with everybody. Kagome just makes sure she gets a perfect shot at shooting the arrow at Naraku.

Sesshomaru used his claws and his light yellow whip to destroy his nasty parts attached to Naraku. (_ I don't really know how to explain Naraku's true form.) Every time Sesshomaru cuts a part of his green lookin' worm thingy, they fuse up again and it trys to attack Sesshomaru.

Koga was just getting tired of dodging Naraku's attacks. While the ends of his blue-green branch trys to attack at Koga, he jumps in the air and punches it so it can retreat. But Koga was getting to confident. He thinks he's going to save everybody from all this crap. And Naraku's true form does look a little like crap. (_ Especially to me!)

Miroku and Sango were helping each other to take out the top half of Naraku. Or you can say where his face and human body chest is. They needed to kill him right here and now. But the thing is it'll take all night. Since it was already about 7 o'clock right now, it'll probably take until 4 o'clock in the morning and the sun wouldn't have rise yet.

Inuyasha had his Tetsusaiga out and trying to slash some of his slimy parts off! He was the one getting pissed off at Naraku who keeps fusing back together. He didn't know what to do. He needed the Shikon no Tama to help him and the others. But he doesn't know how to get it out of her body. He doesn't want to her hurt her in a painful way. The only way to get the Shikon no Tama out of her body is for Kagome to get it out for herself. It's the only way he can think of that won't hurt her.

"Argh! That bastard keeps fusing!" Angered Inuyasha.

"Well, if you weren't such a puppy we would beat him!" Said Koga.

"And what do you mean by that!?"

"I mean that you suck at fighting and that you are a stupid half-demon!!"

"Do you want me to rip your head off after this battle!?"

"Sit boy!" Said Kagome. Hit his face flat on the ground and made a huge crack in the ground as well. Kagome ignored him and just shot an arrow at Naraku. He got rid of some of his body slimy part but it fused back together. "Darn! How are we going to beat him?"

"I have no clue! Kagome, what can we do?" Asked Shippo.

Inuyasha pushed himself off the ground and walked up to Shippo, who was on Kagome's shoulder the whole time. Inuyasha grabbed his tail and made him to face his level. "You want to know what can WE do!? How about you do something!?" Inuyasha put his arm back and threw him. "You help us then!"

Shippo was twirling in the air and that made him dizzy. Real dizzy...But Shippo prepared his hand to face at Naraku but he was still twirling in the air. Blue fire started to come in his hand. "Fox.....FIRE!!" The blue fire came out of his but it went all over the place because he was in the air and being dizzy and all.

Everybody kept jumping on their tip toes like they were dancing stupidly. But they had to avoid the fire so it won't burn them. But Sesshomaru was just in the air avoiding the fire as much as he can. He took Tokijin out and swung it to do more damage to Naraku. Some of the pieces of Naraku went off his body and Sesshomaru quickly used his whip to do more damage. But instead, Naraku kept fusing back together.

"Damn that ugly bastard! He just keeps fusing back together no matter what we do!" Said Koga.

"Do you think we should attack all together?" Asked Miroku.

"Maybe that'll be a good idea. It might do more damage to him then the attacks we laid on him," answered Inuyasha.

"Fine! Then let's do it! Hiraikotsu!!" Shouted Sango. She took her boomerang back and threw at Naraku. It cut off the ends of Naraku's strands of branch around him. He spatted out all kinds of guts.

Kagome shot her arrow again at Naraku, putting all her power into the arrow and shot it at once. Miroku prepared to take the prayer beads off but not yet. Not until Naraku is into many pieces. Then Sesshomaru got his Tokijin and his whip and stricked both of them at the same time and destroyed twice as much of him then before. Shippo just used his fire bombs while he was in the air. Koga...he just kept punching and kicking the parts off of him.

Now it was Inuyasha's turn. He tighten his grip on the handle of Tetsusaiga, putting all kinds of pressure on it. Putting all of his half- demon power in it so he can make a strike to the ugly demon!

"[What is that Inuyasha doing?]" Asked Naraku. He just stared while something was happening to Tetsusaiga. It was turning to the color of red. Everybody was even surprised the blade of Tetsusaiga turned into red. No one knew it could do that.

Inuyasha started to run to Naraku (well actually his remains) so he can do his attack. He swung it in the air and yelled out a new word. "Bakuryuuha!!" When he hit on the ground, all kinds of tornados came out of it and it destroyed Naraku's body...except for the head. But it's body parts were scattered in the air and that left Miroku to do all the work. He stepped in front of everybody so no one can be sucked in his...

"Wind tunnel!!" He took off the prayer beads off of his right arm and stuck his hand out to the remains of Naraku. But then the others realized something while Miroku was doing the clean up. That battle was too quick, something wasn't right at all. Just about the remains were about to go into the Wind Tunnel, Miroku felt something pass threw his shoulder. He saw a branch but his right shoulder was bleeding and he closed the Wind Tunnel with the prayer beads.

Sango went to check on him and he was bleeding rapidly on his right shoulder. "Are you alright?" Asked Sango.

"Yes, I am. But who did that attack? Naraku's parts are apart." Miroku looked at the area behind all of them and saw something. Another demon puppet of Naraku. That good-for-nothing demon puppet did a sneak attack on him! "WHAT!? HEY THAT'S CHEATING!!"

"I think it's fair..." They all looked back at Naraku, who is fusing back together and form his body again. His face was facing the ground while his wounds heal up, when they were he looked at the rest of them with a smirk on his face.

"Give me a break! Even that didn't work!?" Said Koga.

"Naraku is no ordinary demon..." said Sesshomaru. "He's the type that can heal fast in a second."

"I think we can all realize that now since we have been attacking him about 5 times!" Said Sango.

"But now we have to worry about another enemy....THAT STUPID DEMON PUPPET!!" Angered Inuyasha.

"Yes....but I have another surprise..." said Naraku.

They all have no idea what he's talking about. Miroku was now blind by his anger towards Naraku but he can control it. Inuyasha on the other hand can't control it at all!

Inuyasha was trying to find a way to kill Naraku. But he already found a way but he doesn't want to hurt Kagome. The Shikon no Tama is the only thing that can save them and help to kill Naraku.

"Inuyasha, LOOK OUT!!" Shouted Kagome.

Inuyasha turned around and saw two white blades cut both of his shoulders. It was another sneak attack. He hates that kind of stuff. He fell to his knees and let his blood drip to the ground.

"Inuyasha, are you alright?" Asked Kagome.

"I'll live!" Answered Inuyasha. "Who did that anyway?"

A woman appeared behind them and they all saw her. A woman with black hair, red eyes dressed in a kimono and a fan in her hand. She closed her fan when they saw her.

"Kagura....I thought I destroyed you," said Sesshomaru.

"You did....but Naraku revived me!" Said Kagura. "Now I'm back to get my revenge and help him to kill you all!" She opened her fan again and put her arm back. Just about when she was going to swing it, she said, "Dance of Blades!" The white blades came out of her fan and they were twirling towards them.

Sesshomaru was blocking the blades with Tokijin.

Koga got a cut on his leg, Kagome got a scar on her left shoulder, Miroku's forearm got cut and Sango's leg got cut and caused more pain from the demon earlier that bit her leg. Shippo didn't get hurt at all because it's really easy to miss him.

Sesshomaru put Tokijin down for a second before he do his next action. "Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha heard his named was called and stood up to face Sesshomaru's back. What did he want anyway?

"You and all fight Naraku...while me and the wolf fights Kagura. It'll be better that way."

For the first time in both of their lives, they agreed on that. "Go right ahead..." said Inuyasha. He turned around back to face Kagome but found her on the ground, the wound on her shoulder was bleeding all over the place that blood reached to the edge of the mountain and spilled down to it. He turned back to Miroku and Sango and was about to tell them something but Miroku cut him off.

"Don't worry. We'll handle Naraku and the demon puppet," said Miroku. Miroku turned his head to face Naraku and the demon puppet, they are standing next to each other. "Well, at least we can tell them apart." Since the demon puppet is dressed like a white baboon.

Inuyasha walked over to Kagome slowly so he won't startled her. He kneeled down on one knee and held her up with both of his arms around her.

"Inuyasha..." He looked at Kagome when she called his name. "Maybe I shouldn't fight...I haven't even gotten enough training."

"Don't speak such non-sense! You're still living," said Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed and made Inuyasha to let her go. Kagome stood on both of her knees and put both of her hands over her chest and closed her eyes. A pink glow surrounded her hands and Inuyasha realized Kagome is letting her soul out.

"What are you doing?"

"You'll see..." When the glow gave out a burst of light, Kagome took her hands off of her chest and put them out for Inuyasha to see. He couldn't believe the object in the palm of her hands...

The Shikon no Tama....

Suddenly, Inuyasha realized that the Shikon no Tama is Kagome's soul. But what does this mean? Is she risking her life to protect everyone she cares about? He looked at Kagome's eyes and they weren't normal. There was no sign of life in them...but somehow, Kagome was able to speak to him.

"Take it....Inuyasha....and put it back in my body....before the sun rises..." said Kagome.

"Sure...but do something for me! Don't leave my heart even if I die!" Said Inuyasha.

"Don't you mean when I die...?"

"No! I mean when I die....don't leave my heart and then I won't leave yours...."

"Why..."

"Because I said so..."

"But the deal-"

"I'll tell you about that after the battle and after I put this back in your body."

"Once you take it off of my hands...I will fall to sleep..."

"I think I can tell by that." He took the Shikon no Tama off of her hands...and with a smile on her face, Kagome fell to the ground on her side. The wound stopped bleeding...and Inuyasha knew what to do.

He covered the Shikon no Tama with his hands and stood up and turn around. He laughed....the demon puppet was destroyed and all was left was Naraku himself. Sango was doing a good job by chopping off the parts of Naraku.

*~*~

"Die you wind girl!" Said Koga. He gave Kagura a punch in the face and she fell backwards and landed on her stomach. She used her hands to help her stand up and stand on her knees. She realized blood was dripping from her mouth and she formed a fist. She used it to wipe the blood off of her face and turned around to face Koga and Sesshomaru.

"You're strong for a wolf....but your life won't last long," said Kagura, who gave a smirk to them.

"Oh yeah!! You don't really have a life!! You're just a body with no soul!" said Koga.

"She's actually a incarnation of Naraku..." said Sesshomaru.

"I can tell by the looks so don't tell me!!"

"I think you guys had enough talking..." said Kagura.

"No! We're not done talking yet!!"

Koga started to run to her and was about to kick her in the stomach. But Kagura swung her fan again to throw the blades when Koga was right in front of her. The blades forced Koga back and to make him bleed to death with all the wounds he was getting from the blades.

"And now to finish you off..." Koga felt the wind picking up and figured that was coming from Kagura. He stood straight and looked at Kagura, who's arm is at the side right now with the fan in her hand. "Dragon Dance!" She swung her fan and a harmful tornado came. The tornado became more ferious and the end of it aimed at Koga's stomach.

He fell backwards, growling out in pain because of the tornado creating a hole in his stomach. He had to do something before the tornado goes through his body.

Kagura laughed. "Now you'll get the chance to die..." said Kagura.

"But you forgot someone..." Kagura's eyes widen as she felt something went through her body. She looked at her stomach and saw a sword has pierce through her stomach. She turned her head and found Sesshomaru standing there.

"No..."

"Yes....you're dead again....Kagura."

"But-"

"Your life ends here..." He moved his sword to the side to cut her body in half. And used his whip to destroy the remains of her. After her carcass' were left on the ground, he found her fan on it. He stared at it blankly for awhile and then realized the tornado is still on Koga's stomach. He used his feet to crush the fan so it can rip into pieces.

The tornado disappeared and Koga was relieved. He didn't feel like getting up so he just rest there for a moment.

Sesshomaru saw that and ignored him and went to see what Inuyasha is doing.

*~*~ (3:30 in the morning!)

"Miroku...if I leave...watch over her for me too," said Inuyasha.

"Sure...but what are you gonna do?" Asked Miroku. Inuyasha opened his hand and Miroku saw it was the Shikon no Tama. "Don't tell me you're....you're not going to combine your power with it. You could turn into your demon form again and you could get out of control again."

"I hardly doubt that...."

Naraku saw the little pink object in Inuyasha's hands and started to get excited. "I guess I finally found it..." said Naraku.

Inuyasha smirked. "You didn't find it...Kagome...found it." Inuyasha put the Shikon no Tama over his chest where his heart is and closed his eyes. He knew he didn't need Tetsusaiga for this so he put it away in his scabbard.

The Shikon no Tama gave out a pink glow and somehow....WENT inside his chest. Inuyasha let the Shikon no Tama go inside his chest because that is what he planned to do. Once he felt the Shikon no Tama went inside completely, he waited for his power to rise. After a few minutes, he felt his hair floating...

"[Sorry Kagome....but it has to happen this way. I'm sure that's what you wanted me to do anyway from the start. Since it is your soul...you probably thought your soul would help me control my demonic power...two souls inside one body. Yeah...it'll help, Kagome.]" Said Inuyasha.

Miroku stepped back away from Inuyasha and took Sango away from him. Shippo just watched with a horrified look on his face. He didn't want to see Inuyasha like this again. But most of all...he didn't want to see Inuyasha die either. He just watch while his claws come to the sharpness, and watch the purple strip on his face on both of the sides of his face under his eyes and seeing his eyes turn red and blue.

"I guess we have to prepare for the worst..." said Sango.

"Yup!" Said Miroku.

"In the mean time, I'll just kill him....Hiraikotsu!" She threw her boomerang one last time to give Inuyasha the advantage. It sliced the human part of him and he was shocked on that.

Then he was complete...

His transformation was complete. But something was different....it looked like he has complete control of himself. But he felt stronger then ever thanks to the Shikon no Tama...or in other words, Kagome's soul.

"Inuyasha? Are you alright?" Asked Shippo.

Inuyasha turned his head to face him, that made Shippo flinched because of his red eyes. "I'm alright, Shippo. I just need to kill Naraku real quick!" Answered Inuyasha. He turned his head back to Naraku and grin. "You'll pay for all the people you killed and the people you have cursed!"

"So what! You still don't scare me, you're not that powerful then the last time I saw you!" Said Naraku. He lift up his hand and his claws appeared, he leaned in to strick his hand at Inuyasha, but all he did was just stare at the ground. When Naraku's claws almost reached his face, Inuyasha grabbed his wrist. "What!?" Naraku's wrist was burning, but why?

"Wanna know the reason I'm burning your wrist Naraku?" Asked Inuyasha. He lift his head up to look at Naraku in the eyes. "Because of the Shikon no Tama! Now I'll get my chance to claw you again for GOOD!!" Some kind of wind surrounded him which made his hair begin to float again. "Demonic Power!!!!" He riped his arm off used his strick of claws destroy the remains of him once and for all. Naraku's human part was destroyed but what about the rest of it?

But somehow, Inuyasha saw a light yellow ball come out of Naraku's body before he completly destroyed him. But what was that? But that ball flew out of sight to somewhere.

And Naraku's remains....?

"HIRAIKOTSU!!!" Sango destroyed the rest of it in pieces but Naraku wasn't destroyed yet.

Sesshomaru and Koga came to the scene and destroyed more of it by Tokijin and the punches and kicks. Now it was Miroku's turn.

"THIS IS THE END NARAKU!!! WIND TUNNEL!!!" This time Miroku was able to suck up all the remains. As every piece of Naraku goes into the wind tunnel, the mountain becomes more clearer from the pieces of him. After he was sure there was nothing left, the wind stopped. He knew the wind is gone for good, so there was no need to put the prayer beads back on. But he did just in case it comes back again.

Everybody turned to Inuyasha who was breathing hard. "Inuyasha...." said Shippo. "You're...not going to go insane again! Are you?"

Inuyasha didn't answer. He put his claws over his heart, digging his nails into his kimono and into his skin. What was he doing? When his nails was deep enough into the skin, he riped it out. Creating a big scar over his heart and getting rid of some of his kimono. He roared out in pain when he did that.

No one knew why he attack his own heart. They knew he's only sending himself to hell. When they saw Inuyasha did it again with his other hand, they couldn't take it anymore when he made even bigger mark on his heart. But they figured out why. They saw a pink glow in his chest where the scar is.

Then, Inuyasha used his hand to get the Shikon no Tama out of his chest, he flinched when he felt his hand went deeper into his wound. What was he thinking!? He's only killing himself!! After Inuyasha felt the round object in his hand, he forced out of him and yelled out in pain again!

"Inuyasha!" Said Miroku.

"SHUT UP!!" Yelled Inuyasha. He threw the Shikon no Tama to Miroku and fell to his knees and changed back to his half-demon form. "Put it back...in Kagome's body! NOW!!" He fell forward in front of them, which caused more pain because it means he also landed on his wound.

Miroku did what he said, and went to Kagome who was still on the ground laying on her side. He kneeled down and put it close to her chest, not touching it in case you guys were wondering. After a few minutes, the Shikon no Tama was glowing and was floating back to Kagome's chest, back into her body.

Kagome's hand moved a little but she remained asleep. Probably using the Shikon no Tama cost her strength too because she was also helping Inuyasha.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo waited for her to wake up before the sun rises.

Koga and Sesshomaru...they left to go back to their company. Koga knew Kagome is in love with Inuyasha, but he still claims her as HIS woman. Sesshomaru knew Inuyasha won't die just like that, he knew Inuyasha will be able to face him again one day.
