Disclaimer: See chapter 5

Chapter 15

Inuyasha growled as he jumped away from Kagura's fan blades. He still was bleeding from the wound in his stomach.

'Dammit all to hell! I can't win at this rate.' Inuyasha thought angrily as he blocked the ongoing attacks with Tetsusaiga.

"Hmm, you can't win if all you do is block! Dance of the Blades!" Kagura shouted as crescent shaped moons shot out towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha blocked once again with Tetsusaiga and decided to go on the offensive side.

'I won't win if I block all day. Time to attack with full force.'

"Wound of the Wind!" Inuyasha shouted as a yellow blast was shot at Kagura. She just dodged it effortlessly and prepared to use Dragon's Dance.

When she was about to unleash it, Kirara jumped on her arm, transformed, and knocked the fan out of her grip. Kagura cursed loudly and reached out for her fan when Inuyasha struck his sword into the fan, destroying it completely.

Kagura grabbed one of her feathers and jumped on her feather. She was in the sky, but Kirara chased after her and was able to knock Kagura off her feather. Kagura fell and landed on the ground near Inuyasha.

'Damn, I am going to die... I can't escape and Inuyasha broke my only weapon. But I don't mind, I'll be free and hopefully they can kill Naraku and send him to hell.' Kagura thought as Inuyasha raised his sword.

"Time to die! Wound of the Wind!" Inuyasha shouted and Tetsusaiga unleashed the attack straight towards Kagura. The attack hit and Kagura was killed instantly. There was nothing left of the wind user.

However, before she died, Kagura had a true smile that was not one of malice but one of happiness. Her eyes had showed so much emotion and her face was in peace. Her last words echoed through Inuyasha's ears,

"Thank you Inuyasha, I am free now. Kill Naraku for your friends."

Inuyasha nodded after she died and fell to his knees. He was clutching his wound and he looked in deep pain. Kirara looked at him worried but he said,

"It's okay Kirara, thanks for the help."

'No time for this now, I need to help Kagome.'

To Kagome

Kagome was in a big disadvantage as Kanna dodged all of her arrows. Kanna wasn't attacking but she looked like she was powering up for a tremendous attack.

'Okay, I have five arrows left and I still have some holy energy left. I need to kill her so I can help out Sango-chan.'

"Kagome......" Kanna began to say as her hands glowed ominously. Kagome took out her arrow as souls began to flow around Kanna's hands.

'I'll beat her, no matter what.' Kagome thought as she strung her arrow to the bow.

"Kagome... I'll kill you but free me......" Kanna sated quietly and her hands were now glowing brightly with souls flowing around them.

'Her attack is a soul attack? I can purify the souls and kill Kanna if this arrow hits her.' Kagome thought as she pulled back the string, ready to unleash her arrow. They both stayed still for a while but Kanna was the first to attack.

Kanna stretched both of her hands out and shot a white blast from them. The blast was headed straight towards Kagome at a fast pace.

'Kikyou, give me some of your power.' Kagome thought as her arrow pulsed with power. Some holy energy began to swirl around the arrow and Kagome smiled.

'Thank you Kikyou.' Kagome thought and fired her arrow at Kanna and her attack.

The two attacks hit one another and instantly Kanna's soul attack was absorbed into Kagome's arrow, making it more powerful than ever. The arrow shot out fast at Kanna hitting her through where her heart was supposed to be. Naraku took her heart away, just like Kagura.

Kanna's eyes widened but closed in defeat and peace. She died and there was nothing left of her either. Kanna said a small, "Thank you" before she died in peace.

Kagome smiled but looked around for Sango. She saw Inuyasha running to her with Tetsusaiga in hand. Kirara was running to her as well with full speed.

"Inuyasha, are you okay?" Kagome asked.

"Keh, of course, how about you?" Inuyasha asked worried.

"I'm fine, but let's go find Sango-chan." Kagome replied while blushing. Inuyasha nodded and all of them ran to Sango.

To Sango

"Kohaku..." Sango said softly as she hugged her younger brother. Kohaku didn't respond and just stared at her blankly. Sango sighed sadly and reached for the Shikon shard in his back.

'I don't want to do this, but I have to.' She thought and shakily placed her hand on his back.

"Sister..." Kohaku spoke softly as Sango gasped with tears flowing down her cheek. His eyes were no longer emotionless and he looked normal.

"Kohaku...Do you remember me?" she asked and looked at her brother. She didn't take the shard out yet because she didn't want to end Kohaku's life.

"Yes, sister I remember everything that happened." Kohaku stated sadly. His eyes held a deep sorrow as he looked at his sister's eyes. Sango smiled sadly and said,

"Kohaku, it isn't your fault, it was Naraku's. I don't blame you and I forgive you. We can fight him together and live together again in the demon slayer village. We can rebuild it and start over. Come on Kohaku—"Sango said but was cut off when Kohaku yelled,

"NO! YOU MIGHT FORGIVE ME, BUT I CAN'T FORGIVE MYSELF!

"Kohaku it's okay! We can live together and be happy. We—"

"Sister, I don't suppose to be even alive! I have to die and meet father and mother. Take the jewel shard from my back so I can live with mom and dad!" Kohaku shouted with tears.

"Kohaku, I won't! No don't die on me, I can't lose you again." She sobbed. Kohaku hugged his sister and she hugged back. Both had tears streaming down their cheeks.

"It's okay sister, I want to die so I can rest in peace. I'll wait for you with mom and dad then we can live together again. Please sister remove the shard and don't forget, I always love you."

Sango nodded and softly said, "Okay Kohaku, I understand now. I understand that you want to be freed. Wait for me with mom and dad then we can be happy again. I have some unfinished business to do here. You promise me that you'll wait forever for me?"

Kohaku smiled and said, "Yes, we'll all wait for you forever."

"Okay Kohaku, I'll comply with your wishes. I'll miss you and I'll always love you." Sango stated and reached for the shard. Kohaku smiled and said,

"Thank you sister."

Sango nodded and pulled out the Shikon shard from his back. Kohaku smiled in peace and his soul was freed. Kohaku's body turned into a skeleton but the smile was still on his face. Kohaku's soul looked at her and said,

"I'll miss you sister, but I'll watch over you."

Sango smiled and nodded at Kohaku. His soul smiled back at her and went up to the heavens above where their mom and dad were.

Sango placed his skeleton gently on the ground and gathered her weapons.

"I'll avenge all of you." She said as she held the Shikon shard in her hand. Just then, Inuyasha and Kagome ran to her. They both saw the Shikon shard and the skeleton by her feet.

"Sango-chan, I'm sorry about Kohaku." Kagome said sadly. Sango looked at her with tears bu she had a true smile on her face. She handed Kagome her Shikon shard so now they had four of them.

"Don't be, he's finally resting in peace. Lets kill Naraku and end this once and for all." Sango stated with a new hope. Inuyasha nodded and all of them prepared to fight. They all ran to where Naraku was fighting Miroku.

'We're coming to kill you Naraku.'

To Miroku

Miroku was slicing through what appeared to be endless tentacles shooting at him. Naraku smirked and unleashed more tentacles at him.

'Damn, I can't get to him because of all of these damn tentacles. They are too distracting so I can't use my other attacks. These tentacles chase me if I try to go anywhere. I am going to run out off energy at this rate.' Miroku thought as he sliced through another tentacle.

"Give up. You can't win and you'll become part of me." Naraku smirked as he watched Miroku fight the endless tentacles.

Then Inuyasha, Kirara, Kagome, and Sango ran to where the tentacles where. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kirara took the left side and part of the middle. Inuyasha and Kirara began to slice the tentacles while Kagome stunned them with her bow. Sango ran to where Miroku was and took out Hiraikotsu.

"Girl, you are not going to help me. I should kill you right now." Miroku growled and chopped off another tentacle. Sango said nothing and chopped off some tentacles to the right while Miroku sliced some near the middle.

'Humph, all of my minions are dead. Oh well.' Naraku thought and unleashed more tentacles but they were sliced off easily.

Naraku realized that he was not going to win this way. So, he stopped his tentacle attack and jumped to the sky.

Miroku wanted to kill the girl and her friends but he wanted to take care of Naraku first. Sango jumped on Kirara and flew to Naraku.

'Heh, I am not going to be left out.' Miroku thought and flew to the sky. Inuyasha and Kagome could only watch for they can't fly.

Naraku watched as Sango threw Hiraikotsu at him. He used his barrier and the boomerang was deflected and it landed on the ground below. She yelled and took out her sword as Miroku shot black blades from his wings.

The black blades went through his barrier and destroyed it completely and damaging Naraku a little.

"Impressive, a more reason why I want to consume your power!" Naraku shouted and flew towards him at blinding speed. Sango dashed towards Miroku at knocked him to the ground with Kirara.

They all landed on the ground harshly and Kirara reverted back to her smaller form. Inuyasha and Kagome dashed to where they were and looked at them.

Sango was wounded pretty badly but Miroku had his sword raised above him. Sango had her sword out and ready to defend just in case. Kagome placed Kirara in Inuyasha's red coat and looked at Sango. Inuyasha tossed Hiraikotsu to her and Sango caught it without looking at him. She strapped it to her back and looked at Miroku.

"Time to die girl and go to—." Miroku shouted but was cut off when Naraku landed 3 feet behind him.

Naraku was very distorted looking because his shirt was off showing them a giant gapping hole that went from his neck to his stomach. Five tentacles were coming out of the hole and Naraku's eyes turned red. All kind of demon parts was flowing out of his body and he looked very unstable.

Miroku jumped away from him and Sango stood up with Hiraikotsu ready. Inuyasha and Kagome walked to Sango's side while Miroku walked away from them and towards Naraku. Naraku laughed sinisterly and shouted,

"IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO BECOME PART OF ME! THIS HOLE WILL SWALLOW YOU AND YOUR POWER AND SHIKON SHARDS WILL BE MINE!"

Miroku snorted and shot a blast from DarkEdge at Naraku. Naraku dodged it with amazing speed and shot his tentacles from the hole at Miroku. Miroku tried to attack them, but they wiggled out of the way. Miroku's eyes widened and tried to escape when the tentacles grabbed onto him. Two of them where hooked to his arms, two more were latched onto his legs, and the last one wound around his stomach.

"NO! HOUSHI-SAMA!" Sango shouted and ran to him with Inuyasha and Kagome dragging behind her. Miroku was desperately trying to get away but the tentacles wouldn't budge. He looked at Sango to see her running to him with Hiraikotsu raised.

"I wouldn't attack me if I was you, I can use Miroku as a barrier to deflect your attacks." Naraku shouted and started to bring Miroku closer to him. Miroku once again tried to struggle out of it, but he couldn't and even DarkEdge was useless in this situation.

Inuyasha and Kagome gaped in shock but Sango gave no second thought and ran towards Miroku. Inuyasha and Kagome came to their senses and ran towards Miroku with Sango.

Naraku only had four more feet to go before Miroku reaches his hole. Miroku's strength was drained so he didn't resist the tentacles.

Sango tried to grab onto Miroku but she missed and swore deeply. Inuyasha and Kagome ran up to her and tried to catch Miroku but Naraku kept on moving his tentacles out of the way.

Miroku was now only one foot away before being swallowed into Naraku. Inuyasha and the girls tried to rescue Miroku but Naraku flung them off with one of his demon parts. They recovered quickly and tried to reach Naraku, but it was too late.

Miroku saw the gaping hole that was coming close to him and tired to brake away. Naraku smirked and held onto him tighter as Miroku resisted harder than ever.

"NO! Dammit, I am not going to be part of YOU!" Miroku shouted and used every last ounce of his strength to try to brake out.

"You have no choice, you'll become part of me." Naraku calmly stated and drew Miroku into the hole so that Miroku's back was in it. Inuyasha and the others tried to get to him, but they were paralyzed with fear. Sango snapped out of it and ran to Naraku but he just knocked her to the ground. She gasped in pain but she stood up to look at Naraku.

"YOU BASTARD!" she shouted and gripped her wounds.

Naraku snorted and brought Miroku even deeper into the hole. Miroku was now yelling, cussing, and struggling to get away but he couldn't.

"Houshi-sama, don't go!" Sango shouted through the pain.

"It's too late, but let's end this now." Naraku smirked and brought Miroku into the hole completely. The tentacles recoiled back in and the hole closed.

"NO! HOUSHI-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sango shouted with her vision bleary with tears. Inuyasha and Kagome rushed to her side and glared at Naraku. Naraku's transformations then began to take place.

His shoes began to have spikes grow out of them; his arms had spikes on the left and right sides of them, his stomach had tentacles flowing out, he grew fangs and claws, two giant spikes came out from his shoulders, two black wings came out that were shaped like a bat's, and his eyes were completely red.

All of the other demon parts vanished and Naraku took out a broken sword from his hand. He threw them to the ground and destroyed them. The sword that was destroyed was DarkEdge. Sango gasped inwardly and tried not to let her tears spill.

Naraku's stench and aura grew worse and used one of his tentacles to take Kagome's Shikon shards. He swallowed them whole and smirked at them.

Inuyasha prepared Tetsusaiga, Kagome took out and arrow, and Sango took out Hiraikotsu to fight with.

"Do you like my new look?" Naraku asked evilly and laughed at the glares that he received.

Kagome cringed and shouted,

"The entire Shikon Jewel is where is heart was supposed to be."

They all nodded and prepared to fight the last battle with Naraku.
