I know that it has been forever since I have updated this story so here it is.The battle that will decide the fate of the world.It's up to Kagome and Sesshoumaru now. Remember-some things don't go as we planned for them to.Sometimes it takes a sacrifice to reach your goal but what kind is always the question. _______________________________________________________________

The miasma formed around them killing everything within a mile radius. Kagome looked at Naraku in fear and then determination.Without the living things around she could not draw energy from them.Naraku knew and was cutting off her extra energy supply.He had the jewel now and was full demon.She looked at her mate from the corner of her eyes.'For him and for everyone else I must win.'she thought. She charged only to be thrown to Naraku's side.She hit the ground hard and felt the vines of miasma holding her down.She looked to see Sess battling Naraku's vines with the tetsaiga.She then looked to see Narake sneering at her.He bent down to look her in the eyes as she struggled.''You belong to me and no one else.I will deal with you later,''he said.''Never would I belong to someone like you,''she said spitting in his face.He wiped it off and slapped her leaving bleeding welts behing.He smirked then said,''We'll see, we'll see,''before walking off.

She watched him attack Sess who barely dodged.Sess jumped back quickly and turned when he heard Kagome scream.In doing so he got distracted and Naraku's punch hit him sending him into the remains of a tree.He dodged the next attacks using his acid whip while jumping to where the tetsaiga had been thrown when he had been thrown.He pulled it out sending a wave of power at Naraku who only dodged. He sent wave after wave trying to buy some time for Kagome to get free but to no avail.Naraku got closer each time before finally being hand to hand.

Kagome's point of view I watched my beloved fight trying to buy me some time but it looked like Naraku was swatting the attacks away like misquitos.I knew I needed to get free but his vines were draining my energy.'Come on girl think' I told myself.I then got an idea.I begin to get still and slowed my breathing and heartrate.Maybe I could fool Naraku into thinking I had passed out and his vines would losen up.If I'm correct and can be fast enough I can be out of these things quickly.I was correct as the vines began to losen. Instantly I speed up my heartrate and destroyed the vines using fire.'How did I do that' I thought.I wasn't fully trained.I felt something inside of me just as Naraku turned to face me.It felt strange but powerful and like it belonged.Without thinking I charged forward.

Sesshoumaru's point of view I felt her heartrate and breathing slow down and couldn't help myself.I charged full force and hit Naraku square in the chin.He flew back several feet before skidding to a halt.His eyes were blood shot and he wiped the blood from his mouth spitting more blood on the ground.I was not only relieved but surprised when I my Kagome's heartbeat and breathing and then her destroying the vines.The look in her eyes told me something was different.Her powers were awake full force and I felt fear for the first time in my life as she charged but I knew I could not stop her.I was even more surprised when she hit him.Her hand in flames scorching his torso.He flew back and a cloud of dust came up.I was surprised to see a shield of blue go up around Kagome and the dust cloud.I looked at her face and realized what she was doing.I screamed and charged at the shield only to be pushed back.She looked at me and mouthed I love you before disappearing into the cloud of dust causing me to lose complete sight of her.Then I saw two forms doing close hand to hand combat. *end point of view*
Kagome dodged and jumped up throwing a ball of fire and landing behind Naraku who did a spinning back kick hitting her in the back of the head.His eyes widened as she seemed unaffected and he had to dodge as she turned doing a side kick.Her foot barely knicked him but caused enough pain to bring him to his knees. "Where did you get this power from.You did not have it before,"He asked of her with narrowed eyes."This power comes from somewhere you'd never be able to understand Naraku.It comes from love and my desire to protect those that I love.You can not hope to defeat me now,''she said summoning the tetsaiga from outside the shield into her hand.She raised the enlarged fang over her head with both hands bringing it down in a blue arc of power.Her eyes widened as Naraku brought his hands up and put one hand on each side of the fang stopping and began pushing back. This is when the dust settled and Sesshoumaru was able to see the battle again. His eyes widened at the sight of Naraku pushing back the tetsaiga with his bare hands.

Kagome pushed with all her might and for a moment it seemed like it would be enough.It went flying to the edge of the shield.The shield keeping it inside the area.The minute it landed her eyes flew back to Naraku who dashed at her.She brought her hands up blocking him and trying to punch back but her every block was being blocked by him.She finally managed to get in a few hits after what seemed forever but so did he.She could fill the blood running down her side but didn't stop to check herself knowing if she did he could take advantage of that.She stopped when something told her to and froze causing Naraku to freeze also to see what she was doing.She looked at the shield to see Sess halfway through fighting his way to her. Her eyes watered up at the realization of how much she loved him and how much he loved her.She had to win but before she could turn around he was inside the shield. He grabbed her and tossed her easily to side and behind him so he was facing Naraku His eyes bled red."You will pay for trying to harm my mate,''he said before he and Naraku became but a blur to Kagome's eyes.

They would stop everynow and then when one would knock the other down.It didn't seem like either would win the way it was going.Both had blood dripping down their cheeks.The only thing that gave away who was winning was the large rip and blood dripping from Sess stomach.She could see the blood dripping down his legs and leaving almost lines down the front of his once pristine white robes.She cried out as Naraku slashed him with a black miasmic whip.It was like Sess acid whip but black.She watched with wide tear filled eyes as he fell from the sky.Her body seemed to act on its own as she saw his head roll to the side and his eyes go up into his head.The whip had almost severed him in half and now he layed unconsious.

Her body seemed to move on its own as she let out a scream drawing Naraku's attention.His eyes widened as her body glowed and let out a tremendous wave of power knocking him back but seeming to envelope Sess in a loving and caring way.When the wave of power passed Naraku's kimono was torn in several places and he was bleeding badly.The opposite was Sess.His clothes were whole again and he was free of any cuts.He almost seemed to be sleeping.Naraku narrowed his eyes at Kagome and took a step back.Her eyes glowed pure blue with what looked like blue flames coming from the edges.It looked as if her whole body was glowing from the inside.He then noticed something else.The ground beneath her was pure green and she slowly took a step forward another patch of green and flowers appeared.His body didn't want to move and he tried fighting only to fail.She was getting closer and closer.

Finally she reached him.''Naraku you will pay for your crimes.I will not allow you to harm any more people,''her voice sounded like music.Soft and gentle although the meaning behind them wasn't.He watched as she raised a glowing hand and felt a searing pain from his stomach engulf.He watched as the jewel came out of his stomach and flew to her awaiting hand.

He feel to his knees mouth and eyes both wide from shock and pain.His vines began to wither and die.He was losing power.In a last effort to win he grabbed her as she glowed causing her to widen her eyes but she still stayed focused concentrating on her powers.He let her go with a hiss as her purifing power burned his hands off. He looked down to see his hands regrow but they had no power in them.He stared at her astonished.He tilted his head back and screamed in agony a second before she raised her head to the heavens and let out a roar of pain as white hot light poured from her.Her hair whipped around her as her eyes,hands,and feet glowed with a bright pure light.Red blood seeped from her mouth,nose,and eyes and sloly turned to silver with tears mixed in.Naraku felt as if his insides were on fire.He felt only pain and saw only red.Cuts appeared everywhere slowly and painfully taking his life away. He then realized how this ritual killed a person.He felt himself lose his demonblood and felt himself become a human.He then felt true pain and wanted to pass out but couldn't.He looked forward to see a totally different Kagome walking toward him. Her eyes promised only death as a lond beautiful silver sword with her blood already dripping from her arms and onto the sword where blood had begun coming out of her ears.The ritual was killing her to and she knew it but kept on going.

She glanced only briefly at her mate lying peacefully asleep unaware of what she was doing and felt her chest tighten up and looked quickly away knowing what she had to do.'I have no regrets.I do this out of love for everyone.This is for my family and everyone else I love.For my love Sesshoumaru I will not let myself die. I must not die.I must live' she thou as she raised the sword.Naraku for once had true fear in his eyes.He knew this was it.There was no escaping this ritual but neither was their a way for her was his last thought as she brought the sword up in a silver arch screaming as she brought it down feeling herself on fire.The last thing she saw was his head roll onto the ground and smiled before looking over to Sesshoumaru to mouth the words 'I love you' one last time before closing her eyes knowing she had done the right thing. _______________________________________________________________ so what do you people think.did you like it or not.this MAY or MAY NOT be the end.it's up to you.well review or it will be the end.
