Chapter 7 Last Stand

Both brothers stood in the rain soaked and ready to fight. Sesshomaru clenched the Tetsusaiga in his right hand and Inuyasha clenched his claws in front of him.

"What did you do with Kagome, Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha yelled as he took a swipe at Sesshomaru's face and arm. Inuyasha stood back waiting for a reply.

"She is probably dead now; I left her in the rain, by the dead wolf boy, Kouga." He replied swinging the sword at him. Sesshomaru hit Inuyasha's side and brought him to the ground.

Inuyasha put his hand to his side and grunted. He lifted his hand and saw the red blood line before the rain washed it away. He looked up at Sesshomaru and snarled.

"Oh, look I've cut you." Sesshomaru teased.

Inuyasha swore under his breath and charged at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru smiled and dodged all of his attacks. He lashed his poison whip as Inuyasha. He managed to dodge them but soon failed when he got his in his cheek. He clenched in pain as blood dripped violently.

He snarled and jumped up and attacked Sesshomaru. He missed and fell to the ground. He turned over on his back and realized that Sesshomaru had slashed his arm open. He placed his claw over in pain. Sesshomaru laughed and walked up to Inuyasha and smiled. He leaned down and said, "This is exactly how Kouga died."

Just as he was about to slam his hand through Inuyasha's stomach; Inuyasha's eyes narrowed and he growled a deep thunderous growl, Sesshomaru's eyes went narrow and he stopped smiling. Inuyasha gripped his wrist and snapped it backward.

Sesshomaru moaned in pain and clenched his wrist to his chest. Inuyasha stood up and growled; showing his fangs with rage. Inuyasha jumped and hit Sesshomaru in the stomach; sending him to the ground with tremendous force.

Sesshomaru stood up and growled, he grabbed the Tetsusaiga and flung it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stood still has the blade of the sword was being thrown at him. He jumped and grabbed the handle of the sword.

Sesshomaru stood his ground and growled.

"Iron revere, soul stealer!" Inuyasha yelled and hit Sesshomaru in the side.

Sesshomaru moaned again and just barely saw the sword in front of his face. His whole body was numb and he could barely feel the sword; that slid easily through his stomach. He puked up blood and fell to the muddy ground. He turned around and looked up toward the sky and looked at the stars.

Inuyasha stood over him and smirked. "Looks like you have finally lost Sesshomaru, now tell me where Kagome is."

Sesshomaru smirked and said, "She's dead." He bellowed out an evil laugh; that echoed through the whole forest. "Have fun trying to find her, Inuyasha." He said with his last breath.

He closed his eyes, but his smile still stood proud and strong. Inuyasha fell to his knees and cried. "Kagome...!" He gasped. "How could you be dead?"

He got up and left his brother in the muddy ground by his father's castle. He walked back to Kaede's Village; dragging the Tetsusaiga behind him. He had invisible tears falling down his face, along side the rain.

Sango walked out of Kaede's hut and saw Inuyasha stagger toward her. "Inuyasha?" she yelled. "Inuyasha's back!" she yelled again as she ran over and caught him. She fell to the ground because of his weight. She turned him over and saw him breathing really hard. She brushed his white hair out of his face and looked into his yellow eyes. They were full of such sorrow. She could see the redness in his eyes from crying.

Inuyasha took in one deep breath, dropped his sword and closed his eyes. After a while his breathing evened. Sango smiled and shook him gently. "Inuyasha, wake up, we have to go inside."

Inuyasha didn't move; he lay in her lap just breathing. Kaede walked out of the hut and saw Sango going hysterically out of her mind. She ran up to Inuyasha and looked at Sango and looked into her weeping eyes.

"Is he dead?" she questioned.

"No, he's breathing, but he's not waking up. That can only mean that he has gone into a coma." She stated.

"He went into a coma, why?!"

"He has been out in the rain for quiet some time and has been through a gruesome fight. Help me get him inside." She said as she got up and grabbed his legs.

"Wait, will he wake up?"

"Who knows, it could be hours, day, weeks, months, or years."

"Years?!" she gasped.

Kagome got dressed in a pink kimono with sakura's lining the sleeves and the bottom of the kimono. Her hair was put up in a low pony tail. She walked out side and saw a small town surrounding her. She smiled and looked around until she eyed Jack by the garden. He saw her smiled in return. She walked up to him and smiled.

"You look great Kikyo."

"Do you really think so?"

"Really." He replied.

"Oh, any way, where did you find me, Jack?"

"Over there in the forest, why do you ask?"

"Just wondering." She replied.

"Oh yeah, I found you with a wolf demon. Well he was dead and you were carrying him on your back. When I was about to bury him, when I found this wolf skin cloak under his armor; I think it was made for you. I buried him over there, by the house."

Kagome sighed, sniffled and took the cloak in her hand and started crying at the thought that he could have been the only person she really loved. She bent down on her knees and touched the grave stone and placed the wild flowers she picked on the grave tomb. She cried tears of sorrow and smiled. She quickly dried her tears with her hand. She stood up and looked at Jack.

"Okay Kikyo, you're free to go any where you want, K'?"

"K'." she replied.

She took off toward the town and walked down the market place. She smiled when she saw the pretty necklaces and earrings; being sold.

She saw a little girl looking at the apple on the stand. She smiled and walked up to the girl and gave her an apple. A man grabbed her wrist and started yelling, "You're going to pay for that right?"

"Pay?" she stumbled.

"Yes, pay or you will get a dozen lashes for stealing."

"But I wasn't stealing." She started to get frantic and scared.

The man with a long brown brushy beard threw her into a wall. The crowds stop and looked at the scene around them. Kagome stumbled up and looked to her side and saw a bow and arrow case. She grabbed the bow and an arrow. She pointed the arrow at the man. "You will stop this senseless attack." She threatened.

"Like you can hit me with that?" he laughed evilly and started walking toward her. Kagome looked at the object behind the man and aimed and shot the object directly.

The people gasped and the man turned around to see the arrow went right threw the center of a rainbow trout.

"Never mind, it's on me." He said as he back away and smirked nervously. She turned around and everyone backed away in horror. The little girl came up to her and tugged on her kimono.

She looked down and the child and smiled a warm smile. "Thank you, thank you very much." She squealed loudly.

"You're very welcome, what is your name little girl?"

"Siyo and yours?" she questioned.

"Kikyo." She replied warmly.

"Okay, nice to meet you Kikyo."

Siyo grabbed Kagome's hand in hers and walked down the street talking.

Three years later

A pair of yellow/golden eyes opened.
