DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter Nine: Defeating the Enemy
"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled at Naraku. "What would you know? You were a human before you allowed demons to consume your soul!"
Naraku only smirked at the comment. "So I see that you and the pathetic priestess have finally gotten together. Too bad my plan didn't work, but it doesn't matter, you'll all die soon enough."
"Foiled your plan, did we?" Miroku interrupted. He and the others had returned to the site. "Care to enlighten us?"
"I don't need to enlighten anyone. The damn hanyou and the stupid wench managed to get together, but their time is limited."
"Wait a minute," Kagome spoke up. "You didn't pretend to be Inuyasha while I was in the forest did you?"
"Ah, so you're smarter than you look, priestess."
"Damn you!" Inuyasha spat. "Why did you have to try and frame me?!"
The truth clicked in Kagome's mind and she felt guilty for assuming that Inuyasha had betrayed her. 'I'll just have to make it up to him later.'
"Human emotions are so easy to toy with," Naraku replied. "It isn't my fault that the seed of doubt already existed in her mind. If you're mad Inuyasha, then you should be mad at the priestess. She was the one that believed me and didn't trust you."
"You bastard!" Inuyasha growled and decided to use the wind scar against Naraku. Suddenly, Kanna appeared from behind Naraku and reflected the attack back at Inuyasha. He jumped into the air barely managed to dodge his own attack.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her boomerang at Naraku. Unfortunately, Kagura stepped out from the trees and used her fan to blow the boomerang away.
"Such amateur tricks," Naraku commented. He smirked at the group. "Do you actually think such baby tricks could actually work against me?" In the meantime, Kagome had run into the hut to grab her bow and arrows. She rushed outside to help her friends. Miroku had just tried to use his wind tunnel, but Naraku's poisonous insects forced him to close his hand.
"Take this Naraku!" Kagome yelled as she shot an arrow at Naraku. It flew straight at him, but at the last second, Kanna stepped in front of the arrow and tried to absorb the arrow in her mirror. However, the arrow collided with the mirror and gave off a brilliant pink light. The mirror cracked and pieces of glass flew in every direction.
Inuyasha quickly pulled Kagome to the ground so that she wouldn't be hit by pieces of glass.
'The priestess has more power than I expected,' Naraku thought. 'I'd better get rid of her first.'
Naraku attempted to fire a blast of energy at Kagome but Inuyasha pulled her away from the spot.
Kanna stood helplessly as her mirror had shattered. Kagura turned to flick her fan and send her attack at Sango and Miroku, hoping to catch them off guard. But the demon slayer and the monk jumped away to safety and Sango sent her Hiraikotsu at Kagura in retaliation.
It managed to hit her in the body and send her flying in to a nearby tree. Since Kagura did not like to be controlled by Naraku, she pretended to fall heavily to the ground and didn't get up. She had been hurt, but not seriously injured.
This left Naraku to fend for himself.
"Look Naraku!" Inuyasha smirked. "No one left to do your dirty work!"
'I need him to use an energy blast so that I can use the Bakuryuuha.'
Suddenly, tentacles began to replace Naraku's legs. He began to expand and transform. Tentacles came reached out and attacked Inuyasha and the others. Inuyasha managed to use Tetsusaiga to cut up some of the tentacles, but they regenerated themselves.
"Getting tired, Inuyasha?" Naraku sneered. "Here, let me end this for you quickly!"
With that, he shot an energy blast at Inuyasha. Inuyasha quickly pulled out Tetsusaiga and used the Bakuryuuha. The attack managed to cut off Naraku's tentacles and arms. However, they began to regenerate immediately.
Inuyasha stood in shock when Naraku smirked. "Don't you know that I have most of the shards of the Shikon Jewel? How do you plan on winning now?"
Inuyasha growled angrily. Kagome put her arm on Inuyasha's shoulder to calm him down.
"Naraku!" Kagome yelled at him. "You have caused so much suffering! You're life ends here!"
She turned to Inuyasha. "We have to attack together. I will shoot an arrow to dislodge the jewel and you can use your Bakuryuuha, ok?"
Inuyasha nodded his consent. He smiled at Kagome. Together, together they will defeat Naraku. "Ok, whenever you're ready."
"Sango!" Kagome yelled to the demon slayer. "You need to use your Hiraikotsu to remove his tentacles so I can get a clear shot!"
Sango understood and threw her Hiraikotsu at Naraku. She cut off all of his tentacles. Miroku quickly used his Wind Tunnel to suck up the tentacles in order to clear the way for Kagome.
"Now!" Kagome screamed as she let go of her arrow.
On cue, Inuyasha used his Bakuryuuha. The arrow managed to knock the jewel out of his body and the attack from Inuyasha cut Naraku into pieces. Naraku turned into ashes and scattered into the wind.
"Is he really gone?" Kagome asked.
"Yes," Miroku replied.
"And how would you know for sure monk?" Inuyasha retorted.
Miroku showed them his hand. There was no longer a hole in his right hand.
"Naraku is finally defeated," Kagome breathed out. She grabbed the jewel, which was lying on the ground. She took out her shards and concentrated on fusing the shards and the jewel together. The jewel was almost whole. It only needed two more shards. And Kagome knew exactly where to find those remaining shards. Kouga.
