Chapter Twenty-Three: Good Versus Evil: Finally Over

Naraku blinked in the white light, his eyes were useless in this atmosphere. When the light subsided, he gawked at what he was met with. 'This isn't supposed to happen. How in the hell is he capable of this?' Naraku knew that his fate had been sealed when Inu Yasha's demonic side had resurfaced. However, he was not expecting this as a way to die. Of all the things he had anticipated, Inu Yasha's transformation was not one of them. Well, his transformation into the killer he had been known to become was a possibility. But this...

Naraku's eyes held terror and horror beyond any ever experienced before. His ruby red orbs were met with colossal blood red ones. The hot breath seeping from the large creature's mouth bathed Naraku's body. A large paw stomped on the ground. The silver hair that covered the animal swayed with the wind as he hovered over the evil hanyou. When he had changed in that instant, blood had spewed from his body. His beautiful fur was soaked in the liquid. Yes, Inu Yasha had transformed into a large dog demon, much like that of Sesshomaru's true form. His lips curled in a cruel gesture, showing his large canines, dripping with saliva. Naraku's sight followed one particular drop of spit that fell from Inu Yasha's teeth, splattering on the ground in front of him. He gulped as the large demon growled.

The large tail spouting from Inu Yasha's backside swished violently to the left. A large red tongue flicked out of his mouth and ran across the glistening teeth that filled his mouth. Annoyed with waiting and watching the pathetic hanyou stand in fear, Inu Yasha opened his jaw wide, letting a threatening howl erupt from his throat. In one swift movement, Inu Yasha lifted Naraku into his mouth, clasping his teeth through his body; bones crushed, blood splattered, and agony filled screams flooded his large dog like ears. His tongue lapped up the blood as it spilled from the wounds in Naraku's body. The substance flowed seamlessly down his throat and leaked past his parted lips.

When the screams died, Inu Yasha's hold on Naraku loosened, letting the dead man fall to the ground. His arms and legs whipped out limply as he collided with the ground. The eyes on Inu Yasha's head rolled back lazily as his body changed back into his humanoid form. As he transformed back into his hanyou form, blood flowed from the pores in his body. Every last inch of clothing he had was shredded. Almost all of the energy Inu Yasha had possessed was spent.

His body throbbed with pain as he stood over Naraku's bloody body. He wasn't even recognizable anymore. Naraku's entire body was filled with jagged holes and tears. His robes were destroyed, hair matted and messed, and his face was stained with blood seeping from the large hole in his forehead. Inu Yasha limped over to where his sword lay lonely and forgotten in the grass. Gripping the Tetsusaiga, he towered over the nearly completely decapitated body. Using every bit of strength he had left, Inu Yasha plunged the rusty fang into the chest of his sworn enemy. He twisted his father's gift and pulled it out, watching the hole in his chest became lost in the mass of blood and bits of lungs and heart.

From the blood loss and strain on his body and mind, Inu Yasha tumbled into the grass face first. The world around him went black and he wasn't even conscious long enough to notice the droplets of blood coming from the sky.

Kagome watched as the souls closed in around her. The blank eyes that had been watching her from each face rolled back to the ceiling. Horrid screams bounced off the walls and Kagome threw her head back, joining in with her own shriek. Her back arched and white lights burst from her chest as tears streaked down her paling cheeks. She could feel her body fading away. She was going to join them. Kagome was going to become a soul.

A hand from one of the creatures touched her forehead and the screaming stopped altogether. She opened her eyes weakly, looking up into empty sockets. The creature motioned towards the ceiling and Kagome's gaze followed. Souls that had escaped her body and that had previously been wandering, were now floating up. White flashes spread like wildfire as each one tried to break free of the confinement. Kagome sat there watching in sorrow as the souls tried. She brought hands to her face to cry when she noticed that her hands passed through her head. Her thoughts turned dark. She was destined to be trapped forever.

'Your soul is stronger than others.' Did that mean she could truly get out and save these souls? Without warning, Kagome's now ghost-like body began to rise. She had to get out and save everyone. Her friends were in here somewhere and she came in to free them. Kagome had to find a way out.

She made her way up to where the other souls were banging against the ceiling. 'You are a miko...' Kagome took a deep breath and put her hands on the roof. Electricity ran through her hands. The power made her body become solid. Her eyes clenched closed and she screamed, willing her body to give its power into breaking the barrier. Beneath her fingers, she felt crackling. In her mind, she pictured the mirror Kanna held breaking and shattering. A bright light erupted and the barrier broke, freeing all the souls.

Kagome felt her body go numb and her eyes remained closed as she came into contact with her motionless body lying on the blood soaked ground.

Sesshomaru and Koga continued fighting. They had not stopped for hours and it was finally starting to show. Both were blood soaked, only a little of which was their own. Body parts and organs were piled at their feet. Sesshomaru held Tokijin in his hands and his shoulders rose and fell as he breathed. Koga stood behind him, his claws retracted and his bloodied katana in his grip. The demons just didn't quit coming. Another wave of the youkai came and they attacked. Sesshomaru swung his deadly sword once and he was bathed with blood again. Koga lunged forward and back with his super speed, leaving four dead beasts in his wake. Both Sesshomaru and Koga were becoming drained.

Just as more enemies charged at them, a bright light consumed the entire castle grounds. Kagura shielded her eyes with her fan; Koga put the back of his hand to his eyes; Sesshomaru lifted a blood soaked sleeve to his face. Agonizing screams deafened them all as the light disappeared. In the remnants of the dissipating glow, Kagome weakly sat on her knees, coughing into the sleeves of the black kimono she wore. On either side of her, Sango and Miroku jostled awake. Kanna stood before them, her mirror shattered. Kagura closed her fan, walked up to her sister-incarnation.

"Goodbye Kanna," she said, lifting her fan and slicing the void. 'I should feel bad. But I don't. You served Naraku without a second thought. Goodbye.'

A few feet away from Kagome and the others, a dark blue ball formed in the air, strings of electricity danced around it. Crackles and pops echoed through the area. In another bright flash, the ball was gone and Inu Yasha lay on the ground, naked and unconscious.
