Protecting Sango SmilingKitsune Chapter 9
Last Time
The four continued to fight on tiredly taking out a large number of demons finally down to a couple left but that didn't matter. They were very tired and Naraku was very fresh for battle.
The evil hanyou made his way toward the wary group his chuckling rang throughout the battlefield. "I told you and your friends a long time ago demon exterminator that you are no match for me. To bad you had to drag others into this. Now prepare to die." he said raising his arms to strike at her first a dark red color forming in his hands.
He made to throw the ball of spirit energy at her when a loud cry brought him to a halt.
This Time
"You dare turn your back to your real enemy? The one who is a real threat to you?" an angry voice asked.
Naraku's head shot up at the voice his eyes narrowing dangerously as he spotted the person standing on the rocky hill that was not far from them.
The person looked to be not that tall and dressed in an old black cloak that covered her completely hiding her from view.
"No you can't be." Naraku cried outraged. "I will not let you." "You have no choice in the matter." the girl shouted down to him. "Now is your time to pay for what you have done." "I won't let you." he cried again. "Kagura, Kohaku, Kanna kill her." he yelled out wildly.
"You no longer have control over them Naraku. They are free and not under your evil grasps anymore." she said standing tall and proudly at the edge of the hill the ground far below from where she stood.
"I will take you with me." he cried as he threw the attack meant for Sango at the girl at the same time something pink and crackling came screaming towards him hitting him the same time his attack hit her.
When the attack hit him nothing happened. Naraku looked up at her a twisted smirk on his face. "You failed. You failed and now you are dying." he said shouting triumphantly.
The four stood frozen at the scene before then. The girl had fallen to her knees dangerously close to the edge almost tipping to her doom. She lifted her pain filled face towards him the only one who could see what she looked like from such a far distance.
On her lips was a victorious smile as tears of pain streaked down her face.
"What are you smiling about you stupid wench? You failed and I won." The four were amazed. Was he yelling at the girl? Could he see her from such a far distance?
"Stop smiling." he commanded.
Silent laughter like many soft bells rang around them. "I haven't failed. Look Naraku." her commanding voice said.
Naraku looked down in terror at the arrow she had shot at him crackled against him and began to burn at his skin. He let out a howl of pain as he made to grab the arrow that stuck into him trying to pull it out. All he succeeded in doing though was to burn off his own hand. With one last terrible pain filled cry he disappeared in a light of pink that surrounded him. When the light cleared all that was there was ashes.
The girl on the edge of the cliff wobbled dangerously as she tried to stand up when a shadow detached itself from behind her and went to her side and helped her.
From below Sango gave a choked sob. She knew those clothing anywhere and that weapon he carried at his side.
"Kohaku!" she cried out desperately thinking she was going to lose her brother again to whoever this stranger was. "Kohaku! Kohaku!" She turned as she heard laughter. Laughter that held hatred then turned to happiness. She turned in surprise to see Kagura with her arms around Kanna crying happily looking down at Naraku's ashes. "You fool always thought I followed through with all of your orders. You led to your own death by telling me what you feared." she smirked.
She spat distastefully on them then smiled a true smile. "We are free." she cried out spinning Kanna around in her arm happily.
Kanna also smiled happily at this but then turned her attention to the two on top of the hill. They watched in horror as the girl rocked a bit and fell out of Kohaku's sturdy grasp and fell off the edge.
With a cry Kagura pulled out her feather and flew towards the girl who had saved her from enslavement to the power hungry demon Naraku. She was free because of her and she'd be damned if she let her die before her.
She caught the girl before she hit the ground and landed gently on the ground helping her stand straight. "My lady." she said bowing her head a bit.
The cloaked figure just laughed a bit her hand still pressed to her side where she was bleeding at a dangerous level.
Kohaku came down in mere minutes and Kanna appeared by them as well as they faced the four that was now like a huge family.
Kohaku took one look at Sango and almost burst into tears. "Sango?" he asked quietly almost scared.
"Kohaku. My brother." she cried out happily.
The boy looked to the cloaked figure who nudged him forward to her. He looked at her again to see her patiently nod her head at him. "You are you again. Go to her. She's been waiting for a long time for you." she said calmly.
With a loud cry he leapt at her and she caught him in a hug. The two cried as they were joined together again after all they had been through. "Sango." the boy cried out happily.
"I thought you would hate me forever." he said tears running down his eyes.
"No I could never hate you Kohaku. I only hated that evil demon for what he did to you but I never once hated you." she said as she hugged him tighter tears of joy streaming down her face.
"I can't believe what I did." he moaned sadly. "Do not worry brother. I will help you through it. I promise." she said as he fell asleep from exhaustion.
Sango lifted her tear streamed face to the cloaked figure who was only able to stand with the help of Kagura. "Who are you?" she asked cautiously. To have defeated Naraku on her own like that she must be very powerful.
"I haven't known who I was myself for several months now, but now I do. Since Kagura helped me I've remembered more and I have finally remembered who I am." she said with what could be joy in her voice. "Now I don't have to die in a prison without knowing who I am. I get to die in an open field with friends knowing who I am and I am Kage." she said nodding her head to Hiei. "Or you might know me as..." she pulled down her hood to reveal a girl with long straggly raven hair and defiant stormy blue eyes her face a mass of bruises and cuts. Underneath all of that though she was recognized as someone very important and special. Someone who was thought to have gone missing a long time ago. "Kagome." she said.
Sango began to cry again fresh tears as she went to hug her best friend who she thought she had lost for good. Kagura stepped to the side a bit still near Kagome the one who saved her. She didn't care if these people were friends of hers she wasn't going to allow them to hurt her in anyway. She had enough injuries as it was.
"Stupid am I?" she asked Sango as she hugged her as best she could with one hand trying not to jostle any of her injuries she had already acquired.
"You heard that?" Sango said surprised.
"I've been around." she said a bit vaguely.
"Were you the one who saved us when Sango left us to get eaten?" Yusuke asked looking at her curiously. He hadn't seen her but her voice seemed to match the other persons.
"Mayhap." "How about the day you talked to Hiei and when we ran into the villagers." "You caught me. That was me. I felt drawn to you three and knowing you were there to destroy Naraku I decided to help you. You see I've been following Sango for awhile since I was kidnapped." "How is that possible?" Kurama asked curiously as Sango released her and stepped back to listen to her explanation.
"A part of my magic separated from me and took on a distinctively solid shape that could pass for me. She/I watched after Sango because I felt that she was important to me as I had lost my memory I couldn't be sure and when I noticed your presence I decided to help you out. It's hard to maintain a solid body the whole time for such a small amount of magic as that thing was so it wasn't always solid just following casting simple spells to protect you all." she slumped forward a bit in exhaustion and Kagura was there to quickly catch her.
"You're injured Kagome." Sango said worried. "Please let me see your injuries." she demanded as Kagura laid her gently on the ground careful of her injuries.
Kagome ignored her though, her eyes were on Hiei. "I don't have to die in a prison nameless." she said smiling at him painfully but happily.
He felt a small smile pull at his own lips. "Maybe you don't have to die at all." "I think I gave you to much hope in our talks." she said with a snort brushing aside Sango's attempt to see to her wounds. "Doesn't matter if I die now. Inuyasha already told my family along time ago that I died when I disappeared for a bit before they all died in that attack from Naraku. My little Shippo. Perverted Miroku. My brother and friend Inuyasha." "You have to live though." Sango said tears in her eyes as she looked down at her younger sister.
Kagome looked into Sango's sad eyes and frowned. "I made you sad again. You weren't even supposed to meet me again. You were better off thinking I was dead." "No I wasn't." she cried out surprising Kagome. "I missed you so much there were many times I was wondering how I could keep going on with you gone." Kagome looked at her sister a questioning look in her eyes. "Yes I see." she murmured more to herself then anyone else there. "You have your new friends now though. Your new family. You don't need an old one." "I will always need you." she cried out desperately. "You always put others before yourself before ready to fight and die for them. Jesus Kagome we all would have died a long time ago if it weren't for you. Why can't you fight to live? Are you meant to die or is it you don't think you want to live anymore? I know you have always put us before yourself so I'm being selfish one more time Kagome. I want you to live to be here with me. My new family and friends." she said.
Kurama grabbed her hand and affectionately squeezed it to help give her strength in this terrible ordeal she was going through.
Kagome laughed. "You were right before Sango. I was stupid. Putting everyone before myself. You blame yourself about my being taken but it wasn't your fault. I knew already. All mikos know when they will die and what will lead to it. I knew but I couldn't change it at all that's why I told you to ignore your dream you told me about where you said I was always out of your reach and when you were about to grab for me I disappeared completely." her body shook with pain her hand still pressing at her still bleeding wound. "You know why I told you to ignore it? You were supposed to die protecting me my vision told me as much, so I protected you. How could I not? The others had died it was just you and me. I had to protect you in any way possible. The last of the demon exterminators. You had to live to train others in your ways. I get to be selfish now though Sango. I will die. I am going to die. I am dying. It's not meant to be any other way." "You can't do that." Sango raged.
"What can you do about it?" Kagome asked harshly. "Look at this. Even if you took me to a healer right away like you wanted to you couldn't save me. I have lost to much blood, I am very weak right now. Three of my ribs are broken, my left arm is just beginning to heal from being broken from him, my right ankle is so badly sprained I doubt I'll ever be able to walk again. What is it you want of me even if I could live? You want me to keep going through all this pain? You haven't seen half of what I have. What Kohaku has seen. He could tell you some things but I've seen worse then he has and I was with that monster for a shorter amount of time then he was. I could tell you of what he did to the captives he brought in. How he would reach into their bodies and pull out their still beating hearts or the different tortures he put others through."
Kagura shivered a bit next to her. Not even she had seen these things. It was special of orders of Naraku's that this girl who saved her life, this Kagome was forced to watch so many innocent die. She remembered the loud cry that rang throughout the castle when he practiced some of his "techniques" on some kitsune cubs. She had remembered how after that Naraku had dragged the girl out of the chamber how her eyes were empty of any emotion except shock, locked in a stupor, her face completely pale her body shaking with horror.
No Kagura who had been with Naraku a long time had never seen any of that stuff. She had killed yes but never in the ways she heard Naraku did. After hearing about some of his ways she killed her foe quickly trying as hard as possible to make a difference in them. Trying to show she was nothing like him. That she did have a heart even if he held it in his grubby paws.
Kagome had saved her though. She had saved them all. Her eyes widened as she saw the girls eyes roll back into her head and she fell faint from her blood loss.
Hiei watched in amazement the spirited young woman who was dying and knew it. The only thing that surprised him was how she totally gave into her death. How she didn't fight to survive. From the stories he had heard she was never one to give up. Had what she gone through been horrible enough to want to give up on her own life? It was completely possible. He watched in slight horror as the girl collapsed on the ground in a dead faint her hand falling away from her wound showing just how bad the injury was.
Around him he could hear gasps of surprise. Naraku's attack had taken out a large chunk of her side. No wonder she thought she wasn't going to live.
Behind him he could hear the demon exterminator as she sobbed against Kurama as he hugged her to try and comfort her. He watched as if from a far as the wind demoness took action and pulled out a small feather that turned into a huge one and picked up the dying girl cradling her as if a small child against her body ignoring the blood that got onto her as she ushered the small soul stealing demon onto it with her.
"Come we must take her someplace quickly." she said to the surprise of them all. Sango was the first to react as she picked Kirara up and Yusuke picked Kohaku up. With a nod they took off at a run keeping up with the wind demoness as she led the way to a place she seemed sure would give them a chance in saving the girl.
