To Pull Through The Darkness
By: Kiera
This was it the final battle. Sango was engaged with Kohaku, and was having a bit of trouble since though she knew it wasn't truly Kohaku, but an empty shell that once was. Kirara was close by to protect her mistresses back. She knew this was something Sango had to do. Miroku had managed to sneak up on Kanna halfway through the battle and break her mirror; unable to use his kazanna due to the poison wasps Naraku had everywhere he fought with his staff and ofudas. Sesshomaru having temporarily put off his sibling rivalry with InuYasha, and was fighting Kagura with a vengeance. InuYasha was making his way to Naraku, and he was almost there. He killed one more demon, and then the two stood to face off. Kagome was taking out demons that got too close to her group with her arrows, even though Sango and Sesshomaru taught her how to fight with other weapons, and Keade and Miroku taught her how to control her powers.
Kagome fired off another arrow, and then found herself dodging one. She turned to face none other than Kikyo. Turning she understood that this was to be a stand off. The others were finishing up, and the battle would soon be over. Kagome in response put away her bow and arrows and drew her sword realizing since kikyos was distance if she kept close she'd be safer ,and still be able to fight.
"Why are you doing this Kikyo? What could you possibly gain other then my soul? Shouldn't you're fight be with Naraku since he was the one to kill you in the first place?" Kagome questioned confused.
"Foolish girl do not question what you could never hope to understand," Kikyo snapped, and let loose one of her arrows. Kagome blocked and went in close thrusting her sword in Kikyo's heart.
"You're wrong I may just understand, but it's too late for you anyway," Kagome replied.
"I'm not the only one it is too late for," Kikyo said and looked down. Kagome followed her gaze and saw that Kikyo had shoved one of her arrows into her heart. Kagome removed her sword ,and Kikyo was blown away as dust before she hit the ground. While Kagome landed with a solid thud.
"I'm dying," Kagome gasped, and the last thing she saw was Shippo leading everyone to her yelling "Hold on!"
They ran to her now dead body. Shippo arrived first, and launched himself into her cold arms. "Kagome! Kagome! No, don't die! No! You can't! You can't!" Shippo cried into her; while the others had surrounded her.
Sesshomaru drew Tensugia, and everyone stepped away giving him room except Shippo who still clung crying. Sango bent down and pulled him away, so Sesshomaru could use his sword. He noticed before he used it that it lacked the pulse it normally would when he's about to use it, but dismissed it. He Slashed across her limp form and waited for her to awaken. After several minutes of no response he tried again with the same result.
"She must have business in the after life," Sesshomaru said a bit disappointed that his only decent sparring partner was gone. InuYasha knelt down and put the part of the jewel they had collect from Narak just know into her hands. Her body then glowed lilac. The glow grew brighter and it soon became blinding, but it then abruptly stopped, and then Kagome's body as well as Sango, Shippo, and Kirara all vanished; leaving behind three shocked men.
I know a fair amount of people like the story as is, but I felt I could do better than this. That and I felt I was rushing the story line along. So I'm going to rewrite To Pull Through The Darkness.

It may take me a bit to update it all since i'm not goinging to be allowed online untill the end of the school year. Again thank you for the reviews and support. Kiera
