Chapter 6: Cry all alone

Naraku waited patiently for Inuyasha's answer, a bemused glint in his cold eyes.

" Yes Inuyasha.. What is your choice?"

Inuyasha sighed deeply and began to pray silently to the gods.

' Please by Kami, let my choice be right…'

Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak.

" I choose K…." spoke Inuyasha before he was interrupted.

" WAIT!"

Naraku walked over to where the two women were hanging, and lightly patted against the branches. Inuyasha glared at him harshly but their was a slight bit of apprehension present upon his youthful face.

" What?"

Naraku flashed Inuyasha a daring smile before he spoke.

" I do believe I forgot to tell you a catch. . . "

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at Naraku, his attention finally grasped. Inuyasha on the other hand, stood ready to slice Naraku in half.

" And what would that be?. . " asked Sesshomaru calmly, preventing his hanyou half brother to say anything out of hand as to not place Kagome in any more danger.

Naraku glanced at the cool exterior of the Taiyoukai of the Western lands.

" Quite simple my dear Lord Sesshomaru. . "

" Spit it out already!!" yelled Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru shot Inuyasha a glare that simply spoke, "If you don't shut up, I'll make you" . Naraku chuckled lightly but continued.

" I take whoever Inuyasha doesn't choose, as my mate."

Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped open slightly while Sesshomaru growled angrily.

Naraku watched with pleasure, the lovely reactions of the Inu-brothers. But, oh, he could make it oh so much better.

Turning to face Kagome and Kikyo, he willed for the branches to set them gently onto the grassy plain. Then he sent them a telepathic message, a message that would finally send the silly half breed and his brother over the edge.

" I suggest you chose now, Inuyasha." spoke Naraku.

Inuyasha glanced back and forth between the two women once more. His mind more befuddled than what it was before. He didn't want to chose one and leave the other one to the horrible fate of being Naraku's mate. The thought made him shiver internally.

Staring into Kikyo's eyes, he could feel the love that he had felt fifty years ago and still felt now. She was his first… and supposedly his last.

Glancing over to Kagome, he saw the unfound innocence that he couldn't find in any other woman. She trusted him with all her heart despite all that he had done to her. Her loyalty was something that he appreciated more than she could ever know. But… he had a promise. . . A promise that he had to keep to Kikyo. . Before he had made the one to Kagome. . .

' I'll always protect you. . '

That was a lie if he had ever said it, and in which he did. Slowly regret began to creep into his heart, reluctantly wishing that he had never met Kagome so his decision wouldn't be so hard.

Can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water. . . We just keep dreaming of the land across the river. . . We are always on the way, to find the place we belong. . . Wandering to nowhere. . . We're paddling down the raging sea. . .

Snapping his mind out of the reverie, he found himself surprised to see that both women were singing to him. Their eerie voices tugging at the pulls of his heart.

Who can cross over, such raving wind and waters. . From the broken sills, shiver with coldness. . From the Highlands. . . Come by a river. . . It's just another place. . . We paddle along down the raging sea. . .

They were singing about him, their relationship. .

But in one morning, we'll see the sky. . . Bright shining morning, we'll see. . . Play who the silver bells, still fly away. . . Let us dream. . . Let us grieve. . . Search for the light. . .

Can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water. . . We just keep paddling down the stream, up the river. . No destination. . But we are together. . . In the sun and sadness. . . We're paddling. . We're paddling down. . . We're paddling down the raging sea. . .

Down to Nowhere. . .

We're paddling . . .

Down to Nowhere. .

A single tear slid down Inuyasha's face as he heard them finish their song. . It was over. . He couldn't save either of them. .

Sesshomaru's watched in horror as his brother's head dropped down as if he were defeated. He couldn't understand how hard the choice could be. . . Pick the reincarnated Miko. After all she was the only one who was still living. She was the only one who stood by him when he needed her. She was the only one who cared for him. . .

His thoughts broke off as soon as he realized what was going on. The song, the song was a plea for Inuyasha to let them go. .

Glancing over into Inuyasha's eyes, he could see that he had come to the realization as well. He was just going to give them up. . Without a fight no less.

Sesshomaru could feel a rage bubbling inside him. Of all the times for his stupid hanyou brother to give up a fight, he chooses the one that he could win, the one that he could finally earn his respect for, why? Why was he so moronic, what had actually blocked him from seeing the truth of the situation. Even if he did choose one of them, and the other turned to become Naraku's mate, it wouldn't mean anything because neither of them loved Naraku. . They loved his idiot brother. The one who was so undeserving of such loyalty.

Glancing over at Naraku, Sesshomaru could see that Naraku knew this as well. He was teaching Inuyasha a lesson that he should've learned a long time ago, but refused to see. His ignorance would become his own failure.

Well this Sesshomaru would not allow himself to lose someone that he had grown to care for. Though he may not even know her all that well, he knew how he felt and he wasn't going to let it go to waste. Yes, this Sesshomaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, had finally found someone he could love. Human or not, he was going to protect her or die trying.

*********************************************************************************************************************

' How dare they. . How dare they yearn for what was his… . '

Amber eyes stared darkly at the scene before him. Hidden among the canopy of branches, he would watch them fight over what was already his. No one, would take what he now owned.

He would show them. . . He would show them all how he owned this woman. This gorgeous creamy white skinned goddess.

His tongue slid across his blood cracked lips, she was still fresh on his body. Her scent of jasmines and orchids sending shivers up his spine. By merely staring at her supple young body was enough for him to grow hard.

" Mine. . . " he huffed out, as held onto his stiffened arousal.

The urge to whip her away from the battle and drive into her ,slowly began to overwhelm him. To feel her soft taut skin against his, her warm body heat, her scent that always drove him mad was nearly enough to send him over.

' Yes she is mine. . . '

Biting down hard on his lip, he felt a small drip of red copper tasting liquid trickle down the side of his mouth. Taking his tongue, he tastefully licked it away. Pulling himself higher into the grove of trees, he remained concealed. Away from everyone's view, even Naraku. No one would know until it was too late. . No one. . .

Pushing away a bit of his silver hair out of his face, he attempted to get a better view of his mate to be. His amber eyes flickered lightly with amusement when he heard her mournful song. . She had given up on him. . . Good. . . Good. . That makes things all the easier for me. . .The only thing I shall have to worry about is that damn half breed's brother. . .

Flexing his claws, he could feel the poison seeping through his viens. . It would be more than enough for him. Even the Tensaiga wouldn't be able to prevent his upcoming death. . . Not long now. . He would soon have her all for himself. .

' Mine.'

*********************************************************************************************************************

Kagura watched with disgust, the shameful display that was taking place outside the palace. Why didn't Naraku just take her for his mate? I t would only sense, instead of mindlessly taunting his foes he should be killing them.

' How dull witted the male mind can be.. ' she thought with a sigh.

The only thing that seemed to be beneficial to her was the prospect of having another powerful female in the group.

On her own, she wasn't much of a match for Naraku. . . But having a powerful miko on her side, she could easily take him out. And if she had heard correctly, she also had the blood of Naraku in her making her a hanyou. Kikyo on the other hand was not trust worthy, no not a worthy party at all. She would rather die before she ever asked that dead corpse for help.

With her help, she could take him out with no problem. Plus, she didn't seem oblivious to Naraku's corruption of her body. She was a miko after all, how long did the man think that she would be held under the curse?

Whipping out her fan, she softly began to blow it at the direction of the battle. It allowed for the soft breezes to caress the sand beneath their feet, then blow gently into the air forming small little clouds of dust. Not enough to distract them from their duty at hand, but enough to break themselves out of their self made stupor.

Softly, Kagura stepped over to Kanna. Kanna stared blankly up at her. . . Knowing full well what Kagura was to ask her to do.

Kanna nodded slightly and walked over to the small kitsune, who was off in his own world. Holding up her mirror, she faced it towards the little demon. A petite sized light, escaped from the mirror and smashed into the kitsune hard. After a slight moment, the fox demon seemed to awaken from his transcendental slumber.

Blinking his eyes rapidly, he finally began to focus. Yet when he saw Kanna and Kagura, he had nearly squealed. If it hadn't been for Kagura's quick movement, their cover would've been blown.

Kagura glanced quickly up at the fight to see if they had noticed them yet. Naraku was telling them something irrelevant, so she figured they were in the clear.

Leaning down, Kagura made sure that she met the fox demon face to face. His eyes widened in fear but he immediately attempted to cover it up with a scowl.

" What do you want from me?!" he demanded.

Kagura merely rolled her eyes at the child's abrasive behavior.

" I need your help, young one. "

Shippo frowned at the woman before him. How was he expected to trust her after all that she had done to them.

" And why should I help you?"

" Because we both benefit and plus you owe me.."

A light cough came from behind Kagura. Kagura rolled her eyes in annoyance and continued.

" I mean you owe us. . . "

Shippo looked over Kagura's shoulder to see a satisfied smirk planted on her pale face.

" Name two reasons why I should help you. " he stated warily.

Kagura sighed impatiently. She had never, in all her days of being on this wretched plane of existence had to deal with someone with such a lack of. . . . Subservience.

" One: We are the ones who broke the spell on you and returned your soul. . And two: You will be able to save your dear mother. "

Shippo's heart accelerated when he heard her say these words. After a moment's contemplation, he finally came to a verdict.

" What is it you want me to do?"

Kagura and Kanna stared sternly down at him.

" Help us destroy Naraku."

Shippo nodded his head at her.

" Yes, I will help if that means saving my mama. What is the plan? "

Kagura allowed for a small smile to crack her tough façade. Then she leaned down and began to whisper into his ear. After every other sentence, Shippo would nod his head and confirm his understandment of the situation. When she had finally finished explaining to him the plan, he headed out to begin his task, leaving Kagura with her own portion.

Lifting her hands into the air, she began to conjure the winds around her, making the blow rapidly, sending dust clouds into the air similar to Naraku's tornado of Miasma.

Everyone turned their attention to her. Naraku shot her look very much the same as Sesshomaru's earlier one to Inuyasha. ( a/n: 4th chapter)

" What the hell are you doing Kagura?!" he demanded.

Kagura smirked evilly. Then she opened her mouth to begin her prophecy.

If you are near to the dark, I will tell you about the sun. . . You are here no escape from my visions of the world. . . You will cry all alone but it does not mean a thing to me. . .

Knowing the song I will sing, till the darkness comes to sleep.. . Come to me I will tell about the secret of the sun. . . It's in you not in me. . . But it does not mean a thing to you. . .

The Sun is in your eyes. . .

The Sun is in your ears. . .

I hope you see the sun someday in the darkness. . .

The Sun is in your eyes.. .

The Sun is in your ears. . .

But you can't see the sun ever in the darkness. . .

It does not much matter to me. .

By this time, Kanna had come out from behind her and held the mirror at Naraku. . She watched as the demons in his body started to become ripped away from his body. Then her own voice added it's weight to the song. . Her eerie voice floated evilly over the fallen Naraku. .

You are near to the dark I will tell you about the sun. .

You are here no escape from my visions of the world..

You will die all alone but it does not mean a thing to me. .

Knowing the song I will sing, till the darkness comes to sleep. .

Come to me. . I will tell about the secret of the song. . .

It's in you not in me. . . But it does not mean a thing you. . .

Naraku stared up at Kagura and Kanna, his eyes stained with disappointment and the hatred of betrayal flayed across his taut lips.

" Why. . . " he breathed out.

Kagura stared back at him, her hatred pouring out of her.

" I don't like to be second best. "

Without warning, Naraku's eyes began to glow a shimmering violet. Glancing down, Kagura saw the shikon no tama around his neck.

Her mouth draped open in shock, there was no way that she could have figured that he could have all the pieces.

" But when. . . " she whispered out. . .

Naraku floated into the air, his body crackling with energy.

" So now you show your true colors Kagura. . Good it was about time I had taken out the

trash." he spoke harshly, venom practically dripping from his voice.

With this, he waved his hand into the air, sending her up with him. Rings of amethyst hues wrapped around her arms, legs, and neck. Slowly the rings began to squeeze her body. Naraku's chocolate brown eyes stared down at her, contempt and malice flowing out into the Shikon No Tama.

" How very unwise of you to choose this time to betray me Kagura."

Flipping out the katana that held within his pelt. He eyed the metal daringly.

" Such a waste. . . "

With a quick flip of his wrist, the metal sliced evenly through Kagura's neck. Yet her head was only partially severed from her head as their seemed to be a single bit of flesh held onto her neck, allowing for her head to fall back limply. Her eyes were still wide with shock as they stared down at Kanna.

Naraku turned and looked at his other copy. Kanna backed up slightly, her hands still holding a shaky grasp onto the mirror.

" Your turn. "

Naraku held his sword high above his head, and prepared to send it down upon the small child when suddenly he was intercepted by what seemed to be an arrow.

Turning he saw Kagome, bow and arrow in hand. Her miko aura pulsating wildly. Glancing at her eyes, he saw them flaring fiercely. The wind blew through her hair, making it lift into the breeze. She turned her gaze upon him. He could practically taste the abhorrence and revulsion flowing off her body as they continued to stare at each other.

" Enough Naraku, your battle is with me now." she spoke in a low whisper.

Naraku smirked confidently.

" Not even my own people could destroy me, what makes you think that you can handle me?"

Kagome rose her chin upwards, her gray eyes still flashing outrageously.

" Who said I was alone? "

As she spoke this, behind her walked a small boy. His brown hair was slightly ruffled yet he still held a distinguished air about himself.

" A boy?" Naraku laughed. . " You brought a boy to help you?"

The boy stared up at him.

" Do not understimate me Naraku, I may have been a victim of your evil but no longer shall I stay within your grasp. I, Kohaku, Last of the Demon Exterminators, shall make it my goal that I shall destroy you even if I have to die a million deaths!" he stated proudly.

Naraku snarled at the boy.

" I will destroy you just like I did your family.."

" Not so fast!"

Naraku cast a glance over to where the voice was heard.

A blur of wind occurred before he could finally grasp on where he heard the voice. After a slight moment, the wind died down and before him stood Kouga, Leader of the Eastern Lands.

" Kouga. . . "

He stood proudly next to Kagome, his fists clenched and his fangs grinding fiercely.

" You are not going to touch either of them. .Not as long as I'm here."

Naraku's eyes narrowed at this prospect but waved it off anyways.

" I can handle you as well. . . "

" I shall help also."

Naraku's eyes widened when he saw Kikyo take position on Kagome's right.

" For years I have spent wandering this earth an empty soul, searching for the one thing that could set me free and I have determined that the only way I can truly live is if I destroy you, Naraku." she spoke calmly.

Kagome smiled at her double but turned to glare back at Naraku, who was currently looking shocked.

" This Sesshomaru shall lend his assistance to this noble cause."

Sesshomaru took his place behind Kagome, one hand set upon her shoulder almost protectively.

Naraku's mouth gaped open. .

" Sesshomaru, you will lower yourself to help people that are beneath you in every way. . Humans no less? "

Sesshomaru sent him an icy glare and spoke with an equal appeal.

" I, Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, will do as I please and it just so happens that I

wish to help the miko and her friends destroy you. ."

" Oi, if he's helping, so am I!" Yelled Inuyasha from Sesshomaru's left side.

He had already unsheathed his Tetsusaiga and prepared himself with a offensive stance. Kagome smirked at the dumbfounded look upon Naraku's face.

" And I, Kagome Higurashi protector of the Jewel of Four Souls, shall make it my duty to eliminate you and your pestilence from this existence. Then I shall purify all that you have made a sacrilege making sure that neither you or anyone like you shall ever walk this plane of subsistence again." she spoke with hardened determination.

Shippo jumped upon her shoulder and held his fist into the air.

" No ifs, ands or buts about it, So like it or leave it buster!!"

Naraku stood frozen, his mouth agape at what he had just seen. How could so many people of different races join together like this? It wasn't possible. . . No it was. . That was why it was happening now. .

The Shikon No Tama glowed brightly around his neck, giving him silent assurance of his victory or defeat. . .he could not decipher it yet.

" So Naraku, how do you feel now, do you think you can handle us so easily as you so earlier boasted?" Spoke Kagome.

Naraku snarled and growled low in his throat.

" I will destroy all that oppose me!!"

And with this shriek, the Shikon No Tama erupted brightly sending a violet shade of light everywhere. Kagome glanced back at all her friends, and said a silent prayer for their safety. . For now. . . . . . The final battle had begun.

Oh ho yeah!! I know that was sooo wrong with me. . Leaving you with these awful cliff hangers. *laughs insanely*

So did you like it? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Sesshomaru: You have this Sesshomaru interested now!!!

Inuyasha: Duh, who wouldn't be?

Kikyo: Finally I'm not the bad guy. . .

RoguesHeart: Oh yeah, you're going to be. . .

Kikyo:Wait, what?

RoguesHeart: Nothing. . .

Sesshomaru: Hurry up and update woman. .

RoguesHeart: I can't.

Sesshomaru: Why not?

RoguesHeart: Because I can't update until I get reviews. .

Sesshomaru: DAMN YOU WOMAN!!

RoguesHeart: MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
