Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Recap: Shippo's point of view:
I watched from my position on Kagome's stomach as Miroku and Sango both nodded to some unseen voice. 'Wonder what their do-' I gasped as they charged straight at the waiting Naraku.' What the heck are they doing, They have to know that Naraku knows their moves. They'll never land a punch!'
A purple flash caught my eye and I turned a little to see what it was. Kikyo stood their glowing with an iridescent purple light. Immediately I knew what they were up to. 'I just hope it works,' I thought grimly.
And the battle continued.
CHAPTER 2:
Kagome slowly opened her eyes to find herself surrounded in darkness. 'Isn't death all about the light in the end of the tunnel?' Kagome thought confused, 'Because all I see is darkness.' Soft laughter filled the dark landscape. Confused, Kagome looked around for the source of the laughter, but found none. "Who are you," Kagome shouted desperate to see her enemy, because if she could see it than maybe she could fight it. It struck her exactly how much she had changed in the course of two years, back when she had first arrived in Sengoku Jidai period she would have never have even thought of fighting let alone beating an opponent. 'I'm not just some regular school girl now am I?' She thought wryly.
"Indeed you're no such the thing ," a soft, feminine melodic voice answered, her unasked question had been heard and answered. As if reading her mind the soft voice said, "No, I cannot read your thoughts, but as I am a part of you I am very perceptive of your feelings and emotions."
Kagome asked shocked, "You're a part of me?"
"Yes and no. You see I am part of your soul, the part that was ripped away two years ago. Our soul was altered at that point changing to fill the hole that was rent. I know everything about you yet I am forced to stay apart from you, never whole. You probably wouldn't believe it was me if you saw me, so different am I than the shell that walks the earth; though Inuyasha might." A shifting seemed to occur within the darkness and a figure stepped out of the shadows, her waist length raven hair seeming to stir to a wind seemingly not felt nor seen by a mortals eyes. The slim woman had delicate facial features, her skin a pale, creamy colour. She was wearing the traditional miko robes, that Kagome usually saw her in. Her beautiful grey eyes were kind, yet an underlying sadness shone through. She was stunning and warm, very different from the way she was in her make- shift life.
Kagome gasped, her eyes widening, she whispered, "Kikyo." Kikyo smiled sadly and Kagome's world once again faded out as she was consumed by darkness.
Kagura smiled smugly as she bent down and picked up the three small shards from the forest floor. 'So much death and destruction from so small a thing.' She called Kanna over and headed back towards where Naraku was, Kanna followed , her white haired head bent over her mirror. She didn't know about her sister but Kagura hated Naraku with all of her heart and she wanted him dead.
SNAP! Kagura turned quickly to where the noise came from, her sharp eyes scanning the quickly darkening forest. To a human it would be impossible, but Kagura's demon eyes saw the figure that emerged from the shadows. Kagura's breath caught in her throat and she gasped out, "Y..You're supposed to be dead, N-Naraku killed you I saw him!!" Kagura cried.
"Kagura, do I look dead to you?" the figure sneered.
Kagura began to back away from the man, the stranger noticing this smirked a little. He calmly reached for the sword on his hip and drew it.
"Kanna!" Kagura yelled. Kanna walked calmly in front of Kagura and brought up her mirror into a defensive position. The figure smiled coldly.
"That will not save you," he said the smile still playing at his lips. He raised the sword over his head and swung. Light exploded from the tip of his sword and flew directly at the two sisters. The power struck Kanna's mirror and for a moment time seemed to stand still. Kagura had covered her eyes trying to block out the blinding light when she heard the sound of shattering glass. She stared in horror as Kanna's mirror exploded and than the pain overwhelmed her and the light consumed her. Her last thought was 'I'm finally free(('
The man put his sword away. He was disappointed he had hoped that they would've been more of a challenge. He looked around taking in the charred landscape and noticed that the damage spread for about a 20 metre radius in all directions. He shook his head and scanned the ground with his sharp eyes. Seeing the three small purple jewel shards he calmly bent down and picked them up, slipping them into a hidden pocket in his robes. He stepped out of the wreckage swiftly re-entering the black forest. He delicately sniffed the stale air, smelling the battle close by. He smirked, something he did not do often, and whispered, "So little brother you went and got yourself killed by that disgusting hanyou. I'm quite disappointed in you, but know that I Sesshoumaru will honour you and destroy that abomination." Still smirking he walked into the eerily silent forest and any who saw the look on his face wished they hadn't.
Miroku and Sango flung themselves at the smirking hanyou knowing very well their attacks would not make contact, after all they were the distraction. Miroku swung his staff aiming for the hanyou's head as Sango swung for the stomach. Both cursed as Naraku ducked the blows and jumped back landing to Miroku's right. Sango, guessing what was going to happen, shouted a warning to the oblivious monk who's eyes widened as he moved trying to avoid the attack. He didn't move fast enough. The blow struck him in the head and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Miroku!!" Sango shouted, tears sprang in her eyes as he struck the ground. She ran to him uncaring of the evil hanyou behind her. She fell to her knees at his side and her eyes took in the already forming bruise on Miroku's right temple. This wasn't good, the colour spoke of internal bleeding.
"He was fun to play with but he didn't last very long," a mocking voice spoke directly into her right ear. Sango spun around gasping as she stumbled, crawling away as fast as possible. She was going to die she realized, after how far they had come they were going to fail just as everyone had before them . She was all that was left and unless Kikyo's spell killed Naraku, he would go on terrorizing the world and nobody would be able to stop him, after all he would have the completed shikon jewel in his control. She let the despair consume her and so it was that she never even felt it when the sword struck her. Her senses left her leaving only the soothing darkness behind. 'I'm sorry Kohaku, father, Kagome, Inuyasha but most of all Miroku I wasn't strong enough. I will see you all soon.'
Kikyo watched silently and did nothing as the monk an the demon exterminator died and the cowardly hanyou stabbed her reincarnation while she was unconscious. She had been watching for an opening where she could fire an arrow and put an end to that bastard. As Sango was struck down she noticed how Naraku was gloating and raised her already loaded bow, softly muttering the incantation she hoped would end it all. 'Then we can be together forever Inuyasha.' Kikyo fired and watched as the arrow seemed to glide on the wind, heading directly for her target. 'Please,' Kikyo thought desperately, 'please hit him.' She knew this was her last chance, if she didn't hit he would kill her and than he would win. She could never let that happen, he had ruined her life. If not for him she would be alive and her and Inuyasha would be together as humans. 'He'll never win, I won't let him.' But the arrow didn't hit. At the last minute it bounced of a shield of purplish energy and disintegrated. She watched in horror as Naraku turned to face her smirking.
"Did you think I would leave an opening like that? You should know me better than that my dear Kikyo, now because of your foolishness two more of your group are dead. You are the only one left and I bet you used the last of the your miko powers on that arrow. You cannot do anything to stop me. Nothing can. I have most of the shikon no tama and it guards me from all spiritual attacks. When Kagura and Kanna come back with the rest I can make my wish and rule this pathetic human infested world as a full demon. Only when I'm done it won't be human infested in longer.." Naraku laughed as he watched the enraged expression form on the dead miko's face as she clutched her bow. So preoccupied were they, that they never noticed the tiny kitsune who stealthily stole the mostly completed shikon jewel from under Naraku's nose.
