Chapter 7: The Demon Inside

Naraku cackled evilly as he thoroughly enveloped the warriors in his poisonous miasma.

" You cannot defeat me!!"

Kagome staggered up slowly, and began to lace her bow. Gesturing to Kikyo, she insisted she did the same. And as if they were psychically connected, they both let their arrows fly. The arrows whizzed through the air at rapid speed, separating the poisonous gas and nearly striking down Naraku himself.

Naraku hissed low in his throat and leapt high into the air.

" I see, if my miasma won't kill you then I guess this will just have to do!"

With this, Naraku lifted his hands into the air. Almost as if on cue, the sky began to darken rapidly. Black mixed in with a violent hue, casting it's deadly rays upon the ground they stood. Suddenly the clouds began swirl around in a tornado motion, sending rays of purple flashing everywhere. Lightning flashed across the sky, and the thunder seemed to shake the ground.

Bursting from the sky, numerous demons began to land upon the ground. Their repulsive scents wafted over to them, causing for all them to shield their noses from the vile smell.

Naraku smirked malevolently and once more raised his hands.

" Attack and Destroy them!!"

On command, the demons dove towards the warriors. Sesshomaru unsheathed his Tokujin and began to swipe furiously at the twelve ferocious demons that had decided to make him their prey. Inuyasha had tried to use his Wind Scar against the demons but for some reason it would not work so he was forced to use his other talents. Ripping open a gash in his hand, he used his blood to attack the demons across from him. Kohaku assisted Inuyasha while Sesshomaru sliced a path for them to run to Kagome and the others, in case they needed their help which they probably did.

Kouga, though he did lose his jewel shards to Naraku, sped past his enemies and attempted a head on attack at Naraku but it was to no avail as he was shot back violently.

Naraku hovered above him, tsk tsking him for his inane ignorance of thinking that he alone could defeat the might Naraku.

Kagome whipped around and saw Kouga being taunted by Naraku and her temper flared. Nodding at Kikyo, they both ran as fast as they could to aid Kouga.

Unfortunately Naraku had seen them coming and quickly whisked up a force field blocking them from getting in.

Kikyo glanced over at Kagome and watched the range of emotions that flashed across her face. Though, she herself wasn't particularly acquainted with wolf youkai, she knew well enough that he was a worthy ally.

Yet her thoughts were interrupted by a low growl from behind them. Whipping around, Kikyo met face to face with a huge bear youkai. Before she could pull up a shield to block the attack, she found herself soaring backwards from a hit in the chest. Closing her eyes, she prepared herself for the harsh landing but it never came. Opening her eyes, she found herself hovering in mid air. Glancing up, she gasped internally. She was in the arms of Naraku.

His brown eyes, stared down at her with a hidden lust. She could do nothing but gaze up at him, entranced by his presence.

" Kikyo!" a scream came from behind her, but she didn't care.

Inuyasha was in a rage. How dare he touch her like that! Inuyasha's eyes began to glow hotly, his amber eyes flaring dangerously. Blood began to seep into the corners, while his fangs started to grow out longer.

' No one touched what is mine.'

He growled deep in his throat. His demon blood was beginning to take him over. As he was about to lunge at Naraku, and slash his throat, he found himself beaten to the punch.

Just then, he saw Kagome slam directly into Naraku. Claws pointed directly at his neck. Wait claws?! Since when did Kagome have claws?

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

' Hmmm.. . It seems that she has taken on a new talent.'

Nobunaga, shifted slightly in his seat as he watched the battle beneath him. He had sent his servant out to keep an eye on Naraku yet he had not returned to him. He was probably out hunting his prey like usual, ignoring his orders.

' That fool shall pay for his insolence later.'

Bringing a single claw to his face, he slowly drew a line outlining the reincarnated miko's features, into the air.

' Interesting. . . '

Not even taking his eyes from the battle, he called forth one of his servants.

" Seiichi."

" Yes master." said the woman fearfully.

Nobunaga narrowed his eyes as he watched the dead miko fly backwards only to be caught by Naraku himself.

" I want you to send a message."

" Hai."

" Tell Yukimura. . I want the girl. Bring her to me."

" Hai."

With this, Seiichi disappeared into the woods in search of the wandering shape shifter Ashitaka. Leaving Nobunaga to continue watching the battle between good and evil.

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

A loud snarl erupted from Kagome's mouth as she glared hatefully down at Naraku's surprised form. Her teeth clenched, her fangs seemed to dig into her gums causing for them to bleed profusely. Her eyes had taken on a shade of crimson, and her hair floated into the air.

" Kagome…"

This strangled gasp was all that he could manage to sputter out as she lifted her claws to slash him in the chest.

Kouga sat up slowly, the shock of the field's blast wearing off quickly. His eyes widened when he saw his love crouched dangerously over Naraku. Kikyo was laying on the ground, staring with wonder at the scene before her.

" Kagome!!"

Her eyes slowly drifted over to gaze upon him.

" What?" she demanded in a raspy undertone.

This simple distraction was enough to send Kagome flying off him. Though she landed gracefully on her fit by simply flipping backwards, it still gave him enough time to regain himself.

Looking Kagome up and down. He had to admit, she looked more radiant than when she had been nothing but a mere human miko. Now she was plain and simply gorgeous. Her jet black hair still held the crimson streaks in it, though now she had a long black tail with the same streaks in them. Her nails had grown longer than before, and her figure had shaped out even more making her more appealing than ever. Her body had taken on a firmer appeal, toned more than when she was merely a ningen. Her eyes had now taken on a cerulean blue tint, with small tinges of lavender and crimson but that was only because she was angered. She still had on the deliciously revealing black kimono with the firey red dragon, along with the silver anklets and bracelets. Yes, she was definitely beautiful.

Sighing deeply, Naraku took in the satisfaction that it was his blood and no other's who had done this to her.

" I see that my blood has now taken affect, my love."

Kagome's eyes widened with surprise but quickly narrowed down in suspicion.

" What are you talking about?" she spat back.

Naraku smiled calmly. Then he quickly, before Kagome or anyone else could react, pulled up a shield preventing anyone from leaving or entering. Only Kouga, Kikyo, Kagome, and himself remained inside the barrier.

Continuing to smile, Naraku used the power of the shikon jewel to envelop both Kagome and himself with miasma so no one could interfere with what he was to say.

" Kagome NO!!" screamed Inuyasha.

Kagome tried to fight against the miasma but felt herself being pulled back with a sudden jerk. Glancing down she saw that Naraku was holding her there with some kind of chain.

" Naraku. . You . . . You . . "

Naraku held up his hand to silence her.

" Hear me out, Miko Kagome or should I say Hanyou?"

Kagome glared at him, malice filling every part of her.

" What have you done to me?!" she gasped out when she saw her body.

He shrugged lightly.

" You see my dear, my. . . Servant had beaten you quite severely. You and your pup alike lost a lot of blood. And I'm afraid, the only way to keep you alive was to well, give you my own. "

" No. . . it can't be true. . . " whispered Kagome, her eyes wide with shock.

Naraku tilted his head to the side and smirked in amusement. Slowly he leaned in on her face, his hot breath blowing gently upon her skin. Shuddering from the involuntary embrace, Kagome attempted to break free from her bonds.

" Tsk. . . Tsk. . . Love, there is no sense in you trying to break free. After all, you are mine now."

With this, Naraku leaned in even closer to her face. Bile rose up Kagome's throat, making her want to hurl right on him but she carefully restrained herself.

" You. . You. . Bastard."

" Why don't you just embrace your fate dear?"

Kagome narrowed her eyes, and glared at him.

" I will never be yours Naraku." she hissed in a low voice.

Naraku frowned at her impudence.

" Well now, that just won't do now will it? You see I have this plan ready, believe me it took me quite a while to figure it out. Using you, my dear sweet Kagome, I shall take control of this

world and rule it with an iron fist. But not without you my love. . " he said the last part sweetly, knowing it would piss Kagome off to no end.

Kagome frowned at him.

" Why didn't you just use Kikyo for that, or was she too much to handle?"

Naraku waved his hand dismissively at her.

" Kikyo is unpredictable, no telling when she would just up and betray me. But you, oh yes yes. . . You. . "

Naraku began to stroke her cheek lightly, much to the disgust of Kagome.

" You are loyal, you wouldn't betray anyone. . .That pitiful excuse for a dog demon didn't deserve you Kagome. . You need better, I can give you that and more."

Kagome snarled at him, and ripped her head from his grasp.

" I don't want anything you're selling."

Naraku frowned, his eyes glowing brightly. Lightning flashed behind him, and the ground began to shake violently.

" If you shall not accept me of your own free will, then I shall have to make you!"

Purple clouds of dust began to surround Kagome, choking her.

" What.. " Kagome gasped out.

Naraku laughed evilly.

" You will be mine, Kagome!"

Darkness began to creep up into Kagome's mind, making everything around her fuzzier.

' No, no. . . I won't succumb to his. . . '

Her thoughts were immediately cut off when she was completely surrounded by darkness.

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

' He's taking what is mine!'

Anger began to pulsate through his body. His amber eyes stared down at the battle before him. How could he betray me like that? I told him that my only payment for my services would be the woman but no, he had to go and violate his contract. Now this just wouldn't do, no. . . not at all. .

Leaning down, Yukimura prepared to leap down from his hiding place but he was stopped by a small hand that had conveniently placed itself upon his shoulder. Snarling loudly, he whipped around and grabbed the person by the throat.

' It was a woman. . '

Glancing her over, he recognized her as one of Nobunaga's servants.

' It is Seiichi, Nobunaga's concubine.'

Lowering his hand, he allowed for the frantic woman to regain her composure. After she caught her breath, she glanced up at him, her emerald eyes twinkling dully at him.

" What is it?" he snarled.

" Nobunaga wants the girl."

Yukimura glared down at the woman with unhibited malice.

" Why, he knows she is mine for the taking.."

Seiichi shrugged her shoulders, and leapt down from the branches. Before she could fade from his sight, Yukimura called down to her.

" Woman?!"

Seiichi looked up at Yukimura.

" Hai?"

Yukimura flipped down a dagger at her, it speed was incomprehensible to a normal person and would have surely killed them. But Seiichi wasn't any normal human, she caught it with her index finger and thumb, then nodded at him and walked away disappearing into the darkness.

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

Kagome slowly stirred awake, exhaustion nagging at her mind. She was tempted to slip away back into unconsciousness but the scent of blood jolted her out of her sluggish reverie.

Leaping up, Kagome began to allow her eyes to roll across the clearing. It looked like a damn battlefield. The corpses of slain demons were strewed carelessly across the grass. But this was not what caused for Kagome to tear up inside.

It was the bodies of her friends. Impaled on the ground. Inuyasha was a horrible sight, his amber eyes were wide open in shock, a gaping hole in his chest. Kikyo laid across from him, her body slowly disintegrating into ashes. Kanna laid on the opposite side of the field, her mirror's shattered pieces enlodged into her face. Shippo, who's grip was still tight on her sleeve, laid lifeless in her arms.

Tears streamed down her face, pain and rage throbbed in her mind. She began to run, but she tripped over a body. Glancing down, she saw Kouga impaled by a spear, directly through his chest. His mouth was open as if in a agonized scream.

" No. . . No. . . no. . " she whispered softly.

Kagome closed her eyes, and swallowed the ready bile in her throat. Her lip trembled uncontrollably as when she opened her eyes, she saw Sango's body clutching onto Kohaku. Somehow, both Kohaku and Sango were impaled on both sides of her Hirakoitsui (a/n: spelling?). Kohaku's back was ripped open, obviously a demon had slashed him open to get his shikon shard.

The sky thundered loudly, and rain began to pour onto Kagome's sullen body. Turning away slightly, she found herself glancing into a huge crater sized hole.

' Miroku. . . '

Tears flooded her eyes and blurred her vision.

" No. . No.. this can't be happening. . . "

Kagome stumbled backwards frantically. Tripping over another body. Landing hard upon the ground, she could feel the cold rain splashing upon her face.

Trembling, Kagome pulled herself up from the blood stained ground. Only to feel a weak hand grasp her. Gasping slightly, Kagome looked down.

" Oh my god, Sesshomaru. . . "

He looked up at her, his eyes glistening sadly. Kagome kneeled down before him. He opened his mouth to speak but he began to choke. .

Kagome gently patted his back, hoping to ease his pain. She could see him shuddering with each choking gasp. Finally he had begun to cough, hopefully he would spit up whatever was blocking his air tube.

When he finally did, to Kagome's horror. . It was blood.

" Sess. . . "

Sesshomaru lifted his hand weakly and silenced her.

" I'm dying…" he choked out. .

Kagome shook her head in disbelief. .

" No. . . no you can't.. . "

Sesshomaru looked at her blankly, his usual emotionless mask still kept on his face even in the presence of death.

" Yes I am." he said a little more firmly.

Kagome refused to believe it. She began to search frantically for the Tensaiga… as she pulled away she once more felt his grip on her wrist. Glancing back down, she saw Sesshomaru shaking his head at her.

" No Kagome, it's over. . . We've lost."

Kagome continued to shake her head.

" No. .. "

Sesshomaru looked at her with untold of gentleness and was about to allow her to process what he had told her. But another spasm of pain prevented him from doing so.

Kagome gripped onto his body, holding her close to him. After the spasm passed, he glanced up at him confusion written on his face.

Tears were streaming from her face, tears for him not for herself. Reaching up weakly, he brushed them away from her face, though he only succeeded in smearing mud on her face which was quickly running off because of the rain.

" Don't cry for me, Kagome." he said softly.

Another spasm of pain struck him harder this time, making him cough up more blood. He could feel his time was ending soon.

Kagome sensed his thoughts and hugged him tighter.

" Please don't die Sesshomaru. . . "

A small smirk formed on his face but was unseen because of his hair covering his face.

" It is inevitable, it is my time to go.."

Kagome shook her head at him, and squeezed him gently.

" No. . you can't go. . What about Rin. . . Jaken. . . "

Sesshomaru began to slip away into the comforts of the darkness that awaited him. But he could still her light voice calling out to him.

" What about me?. . . " she said softly.

Sesshomaru fluttered his eyes open lightly.

" Kagome. . . " he said weakly.

She held his body close to him, her body with uncontrolled sobs.

" You can't leave me. . . I have no one else. . ."

Sesshomaru gazed down at the saddened miko.

" You are never alone….Kagome….." he said lightly.

Kagome snapped her gaze up at him.

" What did you say, Sesshomaru?…" she asked.

Yet she received no answer. Kagome felt panic rising quickly.

" Sesshomaru?!" she asked louder.

Still no response, Kagome began to shake Sesshomaru's body gently.

" Sessho…"

When she still didn't receive a response, she began to shake him harder.

" Sesshomaru.. Wake up please!!"

His body laid lifeless upon her, his face looking as if he was taking a peaceful nap.

" Sesshomaru!" she screamed.

Her body shook violently with sobs. Lifting her head up into the air, she let out an anguished scream. In it held all her pain, all her anger, all her sadness, all her guilt….

Collapsing on the ground, she felt her face fall directly into the mud. Dragging herself away from Sesshomaru's body, she felt around the ground. Her fingers found the tip of something sharp and immediately she snapped her eyes open.

In her hands was a dagger, probably one from one of the demons. Fingering the blade precariously, she lifted it into the air. Standing slowly, her head bent down and rain falling off her hair into a puddle upon the ground, Kagome began to scream again. But this one, was out of rage.

" NARAKU!!"

She received no response, but she didn't need one for what she was going to do.

" IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED NARAKU?!! IS IT?!!"

Kagome lifted the dagger once more.

" FINE NARAKU!! I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT!!"

Taking the dagger, she prepared to plunge it into her chest. To try and rip out her heart which hurt so much from the pain, the pain of her loss, the pain of not being there to help, the pain of it all.

But her hand was stopped by another. Glancing up slowly, she found herself face to face with a smirking Naraku. His hair was plastered to his forehead from the rain, his eyes glowed profusely with excitement and self-confidence.

"It all could've been prevented if you had chosen to become my mate.."

Kagome pulled her eyes away from his and stared at the ground. But she did not speak.

" It's still not too late… become my mate now and prevent anymore deaths."

Kagome did not speak, she merely nodded her head drearily. Naraku's smirk widened as he could wrap his arms around her without her struggling against him. She was like a limp rag doll in his arms but it did not matter. She belonged to him now.

Pulling her up, he used the power of the Shikon Jewel to transport him to his palace.

What Naraku didn't seem to know was that there were a pair of eyes watching him.

' She's mine, you'll pay for this Naraku. . . With your life.'

Wooh. Now that was dramatic no?

Sesshomaru: Am I dead?!

Inuyasha: No the real question is.. Am I DEAD?!

Kikyo: Well in a technical sense, I was already dead.

RoguesHeart: Yes, you are all dead.

All: WHAT THE HELL!! WHY?!!

RoguesHeart: All shall be found out in time.

Sesshomaru: You had better be jesting with me woman. . . Surely this Sesshomaru could not have perished in such an un warrior like prose.

RoguesHeart: Well you did.

Inuyasha: Why did I have to die?

RoguesHeart: Because.. .

Inuyasha: Because why?

RoguesHeart: Because I said so. *sticks tongue out*

Sesshomaru: *in shock because he's dead*

Kikyo: No body cares about me do they?

RoguesHeart: No, not really.

Kouga: Why did I have to die like that?

RoguesHeart: I don't know.

Kouga: Oh.

Inuyasha: WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHYYY!!!

RoguesHeart: Shut up Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru: Actually I'll have to agree with my brother.

*everyone's mouths drop open*

*Sesshomaru sweat drops*

RoguesHeart: Anyways. . . If you want a new chapter, I suggest you review. We wouldn't want to live life without knowing why I killed our favorite characters now would we?

Sesshomaru: Yes, This Sesshomaru agrees. Review for this woman so I can be brought back to life.

RoguesHeart: Hey, who said I was bringing you back?

Sesshomaru: How in the world can this be a Sess/Kag with me dead.

RoguesHeart: Maybe Kagome is a necro. . .

Kagome: Do not even go there!

RoguesHeart: Oh, Ok. . But it doesn't mean I'm going to bring you back.

Sesshomaru: Then how. . .

RoguesHeart: *rolls eyes* I told you I have a sinister mind!

Sesshomaru: *growls* Feh, all I know is that you had better bring me back!

Inuyasha: And me to!

Shippo: And me!

Sango & Miroku: And us!

*RoguesHeart backs away from mob*
