Naraku: (In disguise as Reaka to hide from Shippo fans.) Hi! I'm Reee-
ahhhhh-kahhhh! /damn she has a weird name/. Here's my fricken disclaimer. I
don't own Inuyasha or else I'd kill him and make Naraku a god...I mean, I'd
give Inuyasha sweet lovin! Hehehehe.
Reaka: Hi Naraku! Why are you dressed up as me? Thanks for giving me my disclaimer. And one more thing. I'd never want you. My favorite character's Sesshomaru. Not you.
Naraku: What the hell are you doing, you crazy bitch?!!!
Reaka: I'll take that as a compliment. Oh yeah! You've got Sango and Kohaku fans after you now.
Naraku: But I didn't kill them!
Reaka: Yes you did!
Naraku: How?
Reaka: You put Kohaku under mind control.
Naraku: Riiiiiiiiiiight! (laughs evilly) I did.
Random Shippo fan: There's that bastard! He's disguised as Reaka! After him!!!
(Shippo, Sango, and Kohaku fans start chasing around Naraku to beat him to a pulp.)
Naraku: HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!
Hehehehehehehehehe! Isn't it fun seeing Naraku get a taste of his own medicine? (talking over screaming Naraku as fans capture him). Well, reviewers, I thank you kindly for your reviews! I love them all! It's still in Kagome's POV, and you know the drill about her thoughts. Now, here's another chapter of "Too Late." Enjoy!
Chapter 4- Miroku's Tears and Naraku's Joy
Naraku emerged from the trees in the baboon pelt. He laughed as he saw the three of us, and Kilala, grieving over Sango's death. Stepping over Kagura's head, he headed straight for Kohaku's fallen body.
"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Naraku asked. "Kohaku's jewel shard is mine now. You helped me tremendously."
/No... It's not true!/
"Is it just occurring to you," he continued, "what had just happened?"
"Damn you!" Miroku exclaimed. "You used us to kill Kohaku for you! You fucking bastard! I'll... I'll kill you myself!"
Miroku shook with anger as he said this. It was bad enough he'd blamed himself for Kohaku's death. He rose his right hand.
"This is for you, Sango," he said. He cringed at the injury at his back.
/Miroku.../
Just as he was about to remove the rosary around his hand and release his wind tunnel, there was something protruding from his chest. It then exited and went back to Naraku.
"It's just a puppet," Miroku said. He fell on the ground. I ran to him, and Inuyasha drew Tetsaiga. Before Naraku could respond, Inuyasha cut off his head and sliced his body to make sure the puppet was destroyed.
"Miroku, please tell me you're going to be okay!" I begged.
"I don't have healing powers," he said. "I'm sorry Kagome. I'm not going with you and Inuyasha."
"Miroku, quit talking bullshit!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he walked to us. " You're going to be okay! You're going to heal! You've got to!"
"You don't believe me." Miroku said weakly. "Kagome, look at your hands."
/Blood! It's all Miroku's blood! Why's he dying when we need him most? No! It can't be!/
I looked at Miroku. He was crying.
"What makes me the most sad," he said, "is that Sango and I died doing Naraku's bidding."
"Miroku, that's not true." I said.
"Oh, but it is," he continued. "He sensed my love for Sango and used Kohaku to try and kill her knowing I'd try to help if her life was threatened. I didn't mean to kill him..."
He started to cry again. I put my hand on his head to comfort him.
"We know you didn't mean to," I whispered. "It's all right."
"At least Sango didn't know this when she died," he replied. "And at least my wind tunnel didn't take my. Now, Inuyasha, Kagome, I bid you farewell."
His eyes started to cloud over, and his body shuddered.
"Sango," he whispered. He closed his eyes, and his soul left him forever. I looked up at Inuyasha. He stared at me with an expression I'd never seen before. My eyes lowered to Miroku's tear-stained face.
/In death, you look so sad. All I can do is wonder what pain Naraku has caused you all your life./
"Kagome, we have to go."
Inuyasha's voice brought me back to reality. I nodded and stood up.
"Good-bye Miroku. I'm coming Inuyasha."
Remembering the jewel shard, I went to Kohaku's body. It purified once I picked it up. Then I caught up with Inuyasha.
For a while, we walked in silence. I'm not sure if it was the reality of our friends dying or wondering who would be next. But I knew one thing for sure...
"I should've given Naraku the jewel shard."
Inuyasha stopped and looked at me. Kilala did the same.
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha, stop now! You know as well as I do I should've given it to him! If I had..."
"Do you honestly think Naraku would've let them leve if you gave it to him? You're more foolish than I thought! Even if you had, we'd still be here!"
"But..."
I was interrupted by the sound of laughter. Inuyasha raced after it. Kilala scooped me up on her back and followed after him.
We were at the end of the forest. Naraku stood waiting for us. He laughed as the three of us emerged.
"Well well, only three of you managed to survive. Pity, you're weaker than I thought."
"Shut your mouth Naraku!" Inuyasha growled.
"Oh, it's been very entertaining watching you and your friends suffer," Naraku continued. "I even laughed at their pitiful deaths! It's been a good show!"
/That bastard! That fucking bastard!/
"Kagome, have you decided to give me the shards in your possession?"
"Why should I? Even if I do give them to you, you'll still end up dead for what you did to Miroku, Kohaku, Shippo, and Sango."
Naraku looked to his right. A figure stood in the shadows then stepped foreward.
/But...why?/
Reaka: (stepping over now unconscious Naraku.) Well, how'd you like that chapter? Sorry it took so long to update. Writer's block. Couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, how'd it turn out? Read and review please! The next chapter's coming soon!
Naraku: (coming to) Crazy bitch... You'll pay... (faints)
