Chapter 16
Inuyasha and the group prepared to fight their worst enemy in all of his strength and evil. Naraku formed a sword that was as big as Tetsusaiga from part of his body. He grabbed the hilt of it and smirked sinisterly at the group.
"Don't worry, Miroku is still in my body. He's not dead but he isn't alive either. I am borrowing his strength right now. I took the Shikon shards he had and now I am invincible. His power is superb, it helped me complete my transformation." Naraku explained.
"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Inuyasha shouted and used Wound of the Wind. Naraku set up a black barrier that absorbed the attack. His barrier began to glow and Inuyasha shouted,
"EVERYONE GET AWAY! HE'S GOING TO FIRE IT BACK AT US!"
Everyone nodded and jumped out of the way just in time without being hit by the attack. They could feel the power that was radiating off it and they were all glad that they dodged it.
Naraku laughed and black swirls started to cover his giant weapon. Naraku shouted,
"Let me introduce my friend over here." Naraku pointed to his giant sword that was in his hand. "This is my sword, Shadowblade, it is made up of my power and evil combined. Making this sword more powerful than anything else in this pathetic world. Now, let me show you one of my attacks!" Naraku shouted and the black swirls infused with the sword making it glow black.
He then shot the blast at Kagome. The blast was similar to the Wound of the Wind but it had black glowing things surrounding it. Kagome quickly shot an arrow that purified the attack. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief but she only had three arrows left.
'I need to use my arrows more wisely now.' She thought.
Sango wasted no time and threw Hiraikotsu at him with all of her strength. Naraku merely set up his barrier that reflected it back at her. Sango ducked out of the way and retrieved it from the ground. She glared at him and looked at where Miroku was swallowed in. There were many tentacles coming out of Naraku's stomach and she is pretty sure that Miroku was in his stomach.
'How am I going to free him from Naraku?'
Inuyasha growled and ran towards Naraku with Tetsusaiga raised. He swung it down at Naraku but he dashed away faster than Sesshoumaru. Naraku raised Shadowblade and spun it above his head. Lightening began to spark from the sword and Naraku stopped spinning it. He raised the sword and lightening shot from the sword in all directions.
Kagome used her bow to protect against it; Sango used Hiraikotsu to block and Inuyasha blocked with Tetsusaiga. Naraku smirked and ran towards Inuyasha with Shadowblade raised. He swung it down but Inuyasha raised Tetsusaiga and blocked just in time.
Lighting flashed between the two swords and Inuyasha was breathing heavily. Naraku looked completely healthy and calm as he applied more force into his sword. Inuyasha was barely able to defend as Naraku's strength started to overpower him.
Kagome strung her arrow and shot it at Naraku in attempts to save Inuyasha. Sango threw Hiraikotsu and ran to where Kagome was standing.
Naraku set up his barrier and the arrow and boomerang bounced off and fired back at the two. Naraku smirked and used even more pressure to his sword. Inuyasha was barely keeping Tetsusaiga raised as blood started to flow out of his wound.
'At this rate, I am going to die from blood lost.' Inuyasha thought sourly.
Kagome shouted angrily and fired another arrow as Sango retrieved Hiraikotsu. Sango ran to where Inuyasha was while Naraku deflected another arrow back at Kagome. Kagome dodged the arrow but realized that she only had one arrow left.
'I need to retrieve the other two arrows I used before I can help out Inuyasha. Please be safe while I get more arrows.' Kagome thought and ran to retrieve the two arrows that she fired.
Sango used her boomerang to attack Naraku's sword while he attacked Inuyasha. Naraku smirked and jumped away from both of them and shot another blast at them.
They jumped out of the way barely and Inuyasha transformed his sword into red Tetsusaiga while Sango prepared to use Hiraikotsu.
"Wound of the Wind." He shouted while Tetsusaiga unleashed the power at Naraku. Naraku stood there while his barrier absorbed the attack and shot it towards them again.
'What the hell? It didn't brake the barrier?' Inuyasha thought as he and Sango jumped out of the way.
'I can't do anything as long as that barrier is up.' Sango thought angrily while gripping Hiraikotsu.
Kagome was able to retrieve her arrows and now she has three left. 'I can't fire an arrow by itself. Maybe I can combine by arrow and Wound of the Wind to destroy it.' She thought as she ran over to Inuyasha.
Naraku smirked and shot hundreds and hundreds of spikes from his arms at the Inuyasha group. Kagome ran behind Inuyasha as he defended with Tetsusaiga while Sango blocked with her boomerang.
Inuyasha who still had red Tetsusaiga in hand, shouted,
"WOUND OF THE WIND!"
Kagome took that as her cue and fired an arrow along with Wound of the Wind. The two attacks combined at went straight towards Naraku.
Naraku, not expecting that to happen, just stood there with his barrier raised thinking that it will block it. The combined attack shattered Naraku's barrier and he glared at them with hatred.
"You'll pay for that." Naraku stated simply and flew to the sky. He concentrated his power into the sword and fired it down at the Inuyasha group.
Inuyasha stood in front of them and shouted, "BAKURYUUHA!"
Naraku's blast was consumed by Bakuryuuha and shot back at him. Naraku just flew out of the way and landed on the ground once again.
'I can't fire long-range attacks like that at them. Inuyasha will just counter them. I'll attack headfirst then.' Naraku thought and ran towards the group.
Inuyasha raised Tetsusaiga and blocked against Naraku's Shadowblade. Sango tossed Hiraikotsu at him but Naraku knocked it away with one of his wings. The boomerang was then shot into a forest and Sango didn't want to waste time to get it.
Naraku smirked and used his tentacles to lash out at Inuyasha. The tentacles strung all over Inuyasha's body, paralyzing him. Sango rushed to his side and cut off all of the tentacles. Inuyasha jumped away with Sango as Naraku recovered his lost tentacles.
"The power of the Shikon is amazing. Plus with the help of the houshi, I am more powerful than any living thing in the world." Naraku smirked.
Something in Sango just snapped when she heard that. She charged at Naraku and thrust her sword into his stomach so it went through the other side.
Naraku's eyes widened a few degrees and squeezed her neck with his free hand.
"You're just lucky that the sword didn't hit your houshi. I will kill you for that attack." Naraku continued to squeeze her neck until Inuyasha came and chopped off his arm with Tetsusaiga. He pulled Sango with him and tossed her behind him.
Naraku was pissed beyond belief and shouted,
"DON'T MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME! TAKE THIS!"
Naraku's Shadowblade glowed as he put all of his power into it. The sword turned black and it pulsed with energy. Some of the energy began to swirl around it and Naraku shouted,
"DIE YOU FOOLS!"
The blast was then shot at Inuyasha destroying the ground that it crossed. Inuyasha prepared Tetsusaiga and shouted,
"BAKURYUUHA!"
The two attacks hit but they didn't consume each other. They were equally matched in power.
Naraku growled and fired a smaller blast to build up the power of his stronger one. Naraku's power was starting to consume Bakuryuuha and heading towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha cussed and used Wound of the Wind to boost the power up of Bakuryuuha. Naraku's blast was still more powerful and was slowly consuming it still.
Kagome then appeared next to Inuyasha and drew her bow. Kagome at a look of determination and she yelled,
"This is for all of the people you killed and hurt!"
With that, Kagome fired an arrow at Bakuryuuha making it more powerful than ever. It consumed Naraku's attack and headed straight towards Naraku faster than Sesshoumaru's and Koga's speed combined.
The attack hit Naraku dead on and he yelled in pain and agony. There was a huge explosion and when the smoke cleared, Inuyasha and company gasped.
Naraku had wounds all over his body and blood started to pool all around him. He was breathing harshly and Shadowblade was destroyed completely. However, the Shikon Jewel started to heal his body and Naraku was not breathing as hard.
Kagome reached for her last arrow and thought, 'This is my only chance, and I got to hit him now before he regenerates.' Kagome pulled the arrow to her string and thought,
'Kikyou, please give me all of your strength and combine our miko energy in this last blast.'
She felt the wind blow in her face at that moment. That was Kikyou's way of saying, "yes." The arrow began to glow with blue energy flowing around it. 'Time to end this and thank you Kikyou.' Kagome thought and aimed her arrow to where the Shikon Jewel is.
"Naraku, this is for all of my friends!"
With that, Kagome shot the arrow from her string and it soared through the sky. The arrow was way too fast for Naraku to catch and it hit the Shikon Jewel in his body. The Sacred Jewel purified instantly and Naraku yelled from the pain of it. The arrow was able to push the Shikon Jewel from his body and it landed on the ground.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango ran to where Naraku was and looked at him. More wounds began to show up and Naraku was losing his new powers. He fell forward, back into his usual and weaker form. That was when they noticed a big lump in his stomach where Miroku was in.
"I will kill you all..." Naraku stammered out. His body dissolved until there was nothing left of the heartless demon. Miroku was now lying on the ground, unconscious from the absorption. There weren't any wounds on his body, but he looked fatigued. Sango and the rest breathed a sigh of relief and Kagome recovered the Shikon Jewel. It glowed and it was pure and whole once again.
Suddenly, the winds changed drastically and the air started to feel uncomfortable. Just then, Naraku's black soul appeared in front of them with pure hatred across his face.
"I said I would kill you all! Now--." Naraku stopped short when the Shikon Jewel glowed and a blinding light flashed. When everyone reopened their eyes, a soul was now standing in front of Inuyasha and was glaring at Naraku. The soul had armor and a sword by its side. Everyone gasped and said the same thing at the same time,
"Midoriko..."
Midoriko nodded at the Inuyasha group but went back to glare at Naraku. Naraku laughed and said,
"So, you came out of the Shikon Jewel just to see me?"
Midoriko nodded and said, "You have caused too much harm here. I must destroy your soul just in case you are revived."
"You think you can kill this Naraku?"
"Yes I can and I will." With that, Midoriko charged at Naraku and gathered all of her miko energy. Naraku charged back and gathered all of his dark powers. The two attacked each other at the same time and their attacks hit. Inuyasha and the rest stared in awe at the sight of the two attacks.
Naraku yelled in frustration and used every bit of energy he had left to strengthen his attack. His attack was starting to overpower Midoriko.
Midoriko used all of her energy as well, but it still wasn't as powerful as Naraku's vengeance and hatred. 'How can someone be so twisted and hateful?' she thought. Naraku continued to use his power to overwhelm Midoriko.
Midoriko then closed her eyes and summoned every good soul that Naraku killed when he was alive. Every soul appeared behind her and Naraku gaped in horror.
Inuyasha and group gasped as they saw some familiar faces of their friends and loved ones. There was Kikyou, Koga's wolf tribe, Kohaku, Sango's father, Miroku's father and grandfather, villagers from all over Japan, and even some good demons that were killed. The souls than gave their energy to Midoriko and all of them disappeared without a trace.
Midoriko opened her eyes and prepared to attack with her new power that she acquired. She then shot a white energy blast at Naraku destroying his attack instantly.
"How did defeat my power? I guess you are strong Midoriko." Naraku admitted angrily.
Midoriko shook her head and stated, "No, my power isn't nearly as strong as yours. However, the combined energy of everyone who killed or hurt, is much more powerful than you will ever be. That is why you lost this fight."
Naraku's eyes widened as the white blast came and destroyed his soul completely. There was nothing left of Naraku, no body or soul. He will never be able to exist or think again as his punishment.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that their journey was over. Their loved ones were avenged and the Shikon Jewel is complete. Finally, Naraku was killed and will never be able to come back again.
Midoriko turned to face the group and she smiled. "Thank you for putting back the Shikon Jewel and killing Naraku's body."
They all nodded and Midoriko said, "What is your wish for the Shikon Jewel?"
Kagome said, "None of us desire power, or do you still want to become full demon Inuyasha?"
"Keh, hell no. Why would I?" Kagome smiled happily at him.
"I don't want to revive anyone, do you Inuyasha?" Sango asked. Inuyasha shook his head "no."
Kagome then got a good idea, "Can you revive everyone that Naraku killed?"
Midoriko sighed sadly and replied, "No, my powers cannot revive that many people."
That gave Sango a great idea and she looked at Midoriko, "Can you revive the good people that Houshi-sama killed when he was in his dark form?"
Midoriko nodded and asked, "Is that your wish?" The entire group nodded and Midoriko used the Shikon Jewel and her own holy power to revive all of the innocents that were killed by Miroku.
"Now, they will not remember that they died for it is the best idea. Since your wish was a pure one, the Shikon Jewel will now cease to exist and I can now finally rest in peace. Thank you all." Midoriko said and took the Shikon Jewel from Kagome's hand and closed her eyes. She started to disappear with the Shikon Jewel in her hands. After a minute, Midoriko completely disappeared and took the Shikon Jewel with her.
Kagome and Sango prayed softly for the dead priestess and looked at Inuyasha. He smiled at them and said,
"I hope she rests in peace."
The girls nodded and looked at Miroku who was now waking up. He was still in his crazed demon form, but without the Shikon shards or DarkEdge.
Sango and the others rushed to his side and looked at him. Sango sighed sadly and thought about the verse and information.
"Keh, what are we going to do about him?" Inuyasha asked bluntly.
"Well, we must say the verses in order to get him back to normal." Kagome answered. Sango nodded in determination while Miroku started to stand up. He looked at them and growled angrily at them.
"You destroyed Naraku already? I wanted the revenge! For that, I'll kill you all!" With that, Miroku ran to Sango and pushed her roughly to the ground. Sango had the wind knocked out of her and looked at Miroku warily. One of his claws was raised and a dark flow began to swirl around it.
He growled at her angrily and brought down his claw to where her heart is.
