==Chapter One: Final Battle==

"Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha growled, drawing his sword. Sango and Miroku readied their weapons as well, while Kagome and Shippou were protected by Kirara.

"Put your weapon down Inuyasha. For once I'm not here to kill you." Sesshoumaru said, coming out from the forest. Inuyasha looked at his older brother skeptically and continued pointing Tetsusaiga at Sesshoumaru.

"Sorry if I don't trust you big brother." Inuyasha said, smirking.

"You should listen to your elders little brother." Sesshoumaru countered. "I don't wish to fight you....at the moment."

"Then what did you come here for?"

"To offer an alliance."

Everyone except Sesshoumaru thought that the world might end then and there.

"W...what?" Inuyasha said, lost for words.

"I don't like to repeat myself." Sesshoumaru growled. "I know that Naraku is nearby, I also know that you plan to attack him. I wish to offer my help, as a weak half-breed like you can't defeat Naraku."

"Are you sure you just don't want to see your baby brother hurt?" Inuyasha said, smirking again.

"Be grateful hanyou. I have an army of 5,000 youkai waiting for my word, I can easily turn them around and leave you to your death." Sesshoumaru growled. Who knew little brothers could be such a pain?

"Fine, as long as you-"Inuyasha started to say, but was interrupted by the Taiyoukai.

"You dare make demands of me half-breed?" Sesshoumaru growled, his normally calm temper was wearing thin.

"First, you can't hurt me or any of my friends until Naraku is dead." Inuyasha said, ignoring Sesshoumaru's growl.
"Agreed." Sesshoumaru said, his little brother's odd group were fairly good fighters. Not that he needed them of course.

"Next, you can't try and steal Tetsusaiga." Inuyasha said.

"I am no longer after Tetsusaiga." Sesshoumaru said.

"Why?" Inuyasha asked, that's why he always fought him right?

"First, I cannot use Tetsusaiga, second, it seals your youkai blood and I have Toukijin to rival Tetsusaiga." Sesshoumaru said.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Suddenly from the bushes came a little girl who looked no older than seven. The girl ran up to Sesshoumaru with big eyes. "Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin got tired of waiting for Sesshoumaru-sama to come back!"

"Rin." Sesshoumaru said, looking down at the girl. Everyone else looked at the little girl with open mouths, expecting her to be a bloody pile on the ground for hugging the Taiyoukai of the Western Land's tail.

"Ohhh.....Can I play with her Kagome?" Shippou asked from the miko's arms, looking at Rin.

==

Soon Rin and Shippou were chasing Kirara around while everyone else watched. Inuyasha was giving Sesshoumaru death glares, not trusting his older brother. Sesshoumaru, however, was keeping a watchful eye on Rin.

"We don't need your help." Inuyasha said, looking at his brother.

"I will be the one to destroy you Inuyasha, not Naraku." Sesshoumaru replied, taking out Toukijin and sharpening it to a nice point. The other followed suit and soon Sango was honing her boomerang and sword, Miroku was putting a sharper edge on his staff while Kagome fixed dinner for everyone.

"Rin, Shippou! Time to eat!" Kagome said, the two children came running towards Kagome and were soon eating fish and ramen.

Inuyasha sliced through another youkai with his claws, sweat and blood ran down his face as the battle continued. They had finally found Naraku's hideout, and this time, he wasn't getting away.

"Inuyasha! Look out!" Kagome cried out from her position on the battlefield. Inuyasha turned around to see a huge boar youkai charging him, it was too late to draw Tetsusaiga and Kagome had just knocked an arrow when the boar was sliced into tiny pieces by a flash of yellow. As pieces of the destroyed youkai rained down on Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru's light whip sliced through another youkai. For the moment the two brothers were fighting with each other, not against each other.

Sango and Miroku were busy fighting as well. Both the humans were covered in blood, both theirs and the youkai that surrounded them. Kirara stood with Sango, her fur matted with sweat. Sango's boomerang cleared out more youkai, and twice as many took their place. Miroku couldn't use his Wind Tunnel, Naraku's wasps never too far. Kagome was quickly running out of arrows, and the youkai just seemed to get thicker and thicker.

Another youkai charged Inuyasha when Sesshoumaru sliced in half, only to get attacked by a youkai behind him. The Taiyoukai growled as a spider youkai's claw went through his armor and pieced his shoulder. There was a flash of blue and the spider youkai was gone.

"I can't fight Naraku on my own, so you can't die now!" Inuyasha growled to his older brother.

Sesshoumaru just smirked and continued attacking youkai.

"Well little miko......" Kagome looked up and saw Kaugra land not to far from her. Kagome growled and knocked another arrow onto her bow, ready to fire.

"Kaugra." Kagome growled, the wind youkai nodded and sent blades of wind at Kagome, who dodged them and sent her arrow flying. Just as it was about to hit Kaugra Kanna came out from hiding and absorbed Kagome's arrow into her mirror. The arrow was rebounded with twice the power at Kagome.

"Kagome! Watch out!" Sango yelled, not being able to help her friend with all the youkai surrounding her and Miroku.

Just as the arrow was about to hit Kagome she caught it between her fingers.

"H..how?" Kaugra gasped.

"I made these arrows with wood from my shrine at home, I poured some of my miko powers into them. Do you really think I would let my own arrow hurt me?" Kagome growled, re-knocking the arrow in her own bow. She released the arrow and watched as Kanna tried to suck it back into her mirror only to fail. Both Kanna and Kaugra were turned into nothing.

Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha had finally made it Naraku.

"Well, it seems you finally made it." Naraku sneered. He was in his true form, a bunch of different youkai parts stuck onto his body. A spider youkai leg here, a worm youkai body there, he was a disgusting blob of every kind of lower youkai.
"Naraku! You bastard! I'll make you pay for all the people you've hurt!" Inuyasha yelled. Naraku laughed.

"When did you ever care about humans? Oh yes, it was when you met Kikyo, isn't that right?" Inuyasha growled at the evil hanyou.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled.

"And what about you Sesshoumaru? Why are you here?" Naraku asked the Taiyoukai, only.....the Taiyoukai wasn't there. Naraku turned around just as Sesshoumaru sliced through a large chuck of Naraku's body.

"Naraku, you should know better than to turn your back on an opponent." Sesshoumaru said. Naraku's eyes widened as he saw his mistake too late. Inuyasha brought Tetsusaiga down, Naraku moved a spilt second to late and had more of his body got hacked off by Inuyasha. Naraku sent a huge pincher at Inuyasha, who didn't see it coming.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried again. Just as everyone thought that Inuyasha would be skewed by Naraku, Sesshoumaru chopped the pincher off.

"Why Sesshoumaru, I didn't know you cared about your brother that much." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru glared at Naraku, and the evil hanyou was forced to look away, Sesshoumaru's death glares too much for him. While he had had a staring contest with the Taiyoukai of the West, Inuyasha was busy chopping more of Naraku's body apart. The evil hanyou turned to face our dog-eared hanyou when Sesshoumaru attacked from behind. The brothers continued taking turns attacking Naraku, while one taunted, the other attacked.

Suddenly Naraku got a claw ready to send at Inuyasha, neither of the brothers saw the small claw start to head for Inuyasha. Kagome quickly drew her last arrow and shot it at Naraku. The evil hanyou was too busy getting ready to put Inuyasha out of his misery when a pink colored comet flew into him.

"K...Kagome?" Inuyasha gasped. Right by his feet came Kagome's arrow, it's purifying energy still hovered around it. More than half of Naraku's body had been blasted away by the powerful arrow.

"You." Naraku said. He quickly re-aimed the claw meant for Inuyasha to Kagome and let it go. Just as he let the now poisoned claw go, Sesshoumaru attacked him, the poisoned claw now heading for Kagome's side instead of her neck.

Kagome fell as a blinding hot pain entered her side. Now on her knees, Kagome saw the claw sticking out of her side while her blood ran down her shirt.

"Kagome-chan!" Sango yelled, kneeling by her friend. "Kagome-chan! Are you alright!?" The huntress saw that her friend was bleeding badly, and the claw was the only thing stopping a larger blood flow, but knowing Naraku, the claw was probably poisoned. Miroku and Kirara kept the youkai at bay while Sango tried to help Kagome.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled after seeing her fall. He sent a huge Bakuryuuha at Naraku, Sesshoumaru attacked with a huge flash of blue power from Toukijin. The two powers intertwined and headed towards the hanyou. Naraku quickly put up a shield, but it was weak and was easily overcome by the power of Tetsusaiga and Toukijin. Naraku didn't even get a chance to gasp in pain before he was disingrated into nothing.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried again as he rushed to her side, Kagome smiled up at him, a thin line of blood running down the corner of her mouth. Miroku and Sango kneeled beside their friend, Sesshoumaru stood above them, looking at the miko.

"Heya Inuyasha." Kagome said weakly. She put something in his hand. Inuyasha gasped at the whole Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha put the Jewel aside and looked down Kagome's wound.

"Let me take that claw out-"

"And she will bleed to death quicker." Sesshoumaru said.

"So what do I do? The claw was poisoned! If I don't take it out she'll be poisoned!" Inuyasha yelled.

"She already is Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru growled, having smelled the sickly smell of Naraku's poison in the girl's blood.

"What?!" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, her skin was getting paler by the second. "Sango! Don't you have anything for this?!" Sango shook her head sadly. Inuyasha looked at Miroku, who also shook his head sadly.

"Inu....." Kagome said weakly, but was cut off by Inuyasha.

"Shhh....don't talk Kagome." Inuyasha said, bringing his friend into a tight embrace. Kagome went limp from blood loss after awhile and Inuyasha gently set her on the ground.

"Inuyasha....." Sango said, watching as Inuyasha took the now whole Shikon Jewel and held it up. She knew that he wanted the Jewel to become a full youkai, but....

Inuyasha held the Jewel up to the thin line of sunlight that was starting to break through the dark clouds overhanging Naraku's castle. "I wish-"
