To White Fox 612: It's my story and I will do what I want with it. If I say Kikyou eats food, then Kikyou eats food. Miroku always finds a way to spy on the girls and so you really shouldn't have commented on that and I don't care if Kikyou eats souls and not food. It's my story, Damnit! Even if it's just fanfiction. It's called sugarcoated. I leave out a few details on purpose.
The Switch
Chapter Nine: Final Battle in the Feudal Era
The group finally reached Naraku's castle. It had taken them a little bit over twelve days to find...no thanks to Inuyasha's human night. Sesshoumaru and Kouga were standing with them, clearly ready to fight. Kagome and the others stared at the castle. It was bigger than they originally thought, and they had thought it would be pretty big in the first place. Yukina was beyond nervous; she had never even seen a picture of Naraku or his detachments, much less the real things.
"Yukina, stay with me and you'll be fine." Kagome smiled encouragingly. The truth was, Kagome was terrified as well. Even with her new abilities, she wasn't sure of the outcome of this fight. Even Kikyou and Inuyasha were nervous, and they both were probably the bravest of them all, Kikyou already have been dead and Inuyasha just because of what he went through as a child. Sango was starting to tear up; she knew that the fate of Kohaku was about to be determined. Kagome was currently holding Shippo and Kilala was sitting on Sango's shoulder.
"Kagome." Kikyou said, her voice serious as she turned around to face her reincarnation and friend. "You and I are the only ones who can truly destroy Naraku." Kagome nodded in agreement. Kikyou turned to the others. "Everybody go on ahead of us three." Everyone nodded and started forward. Kilala jumped off of Sango's shoulder and turned into her large youkai form. Yukina, Kikyou, and Kagome waited until everybody was at least out of hearing range (including the youkai) before doing anything.
"We need a plan." Kagome said immediately. Kikyou and Yukina nodded in agreement, both of their faces serious.
"Naraku expects us all to go charging in at once. He always does." Kikyou pointed out. Yukina thought on what she knew of Naraku, all three girls had told her pretty much everything they knew about him.
"Umm...I think I have an idea."
With Sango and Kilala
Sango stood before Kohaku. His weapon was raised and he was ready to attack. Sango held back her tears. She had promised Kagome that she wouldn't kill herself if Kohaku had to be killed, and she knew this was going to be the hardest thing she had to do.
"Kohaku..." Sango said, her voice was choked. "I'm sorry." Sango charged at Kohaku with her Hiraikotsu. Kilala stood back, waiting for an opportunity to join in. Kohaku used his weapon to block the boomerang and Sango dropped it, reverting to her katana. Kohaku threw his weapon towards Sango and cut Sango in the stomach. Wincing in pain, Sango cut a long, deep gash down Kohaku's good arm.
"I'm sorry."
With Miroku and Inuyasha
"I don't feel right about leaving Sango to with her brother alone." Miroku muttered. Inuyasha grimaced at his friends comment. Thing was, he didn't feel great about it either. What if she just forgot about the promise she made to Kagome?
"I'm sure she'll be fine. She's dealt with stronger opponents before." Inuyasha said in his usual loud and obnoxious way. 'She's dealt with stronger opponents, but that doesn't make it any easier.' Inuyasha shook his head. A sudden change in the wind brought a rather unwanted smell to his attention. "Kagura."
Miroku heard him and got his staff and scrolls out. "Come on out, Kagura! We know you're there!" Miroku shouted, bracing himself. Kagura walked into view.
"How clever of you." She said in her usual purr. "I'm not here to fight you." Both of them were thrown back by the comment.
"You're one of Naraku's detachments! Of course you're here to fight us!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagura smirked and diverted her attention to Inuyasha.
"Just because I'm one of his detachments doesn't mean that I have the same motives as him. In truth, I would have killed him myself if I knew I could." Kagura was still smirking. Inuyasha and Miroku loosened up a bit.
"What do you want then?" Miroku asked, his voice still strong and his guard still up, though not as strong as it was.
"I want my heart back."
With Sesshoumaru and Kouga
"I don't even see why you're here with your mutt of a brother. Is the Lord Sesshoumaru really that soft?" Kouga smirked at the snarl that had placed itself on Sesshoumaru's face.
"I would watch what you say, wolf-prince. I, Sesshoumaru, am your superior and I, Sesshoumaru, am not the one who has fallen in love with a ningen." Sesshoumaru had replaced his snarl with his usual placid expression. Kouga smirked.
"I guess your right with the ningen part. Apparently you don't know her power."
"She is an incarnate of a dead priestess, or have you forgotten? Judging by her attitude towards you I highly doubt that she's interested." Kouga snarled at Sesshoumaru for that last comment.
"What do you know?" Kouga growled.
"I know what I see. I, Sesshoumaru, am very observant." Sesshoumaru turned to his left and watched as Kagura, Inuyasha, and Miroku approached. "Brother, have you failed to kill?"
"She's on our side." Inuyasha growled. Kagura was eyeing Sesshoumaru with the same smirk still placed on her face. "I smell Naraku." Inuyasha took off in the direction that he could smell Naraku and everyone else followed, Sesshoumaru and Kouga going ahead of Inuyasha with their superior speed and Kouga took the lead.
With Sango and Kohaku
Sango had her katana aimed at Kohaku's throat. Kilala had helped when she could but Sango could tell that Kilala was having as hard a time with this as Sango. Both of Kohaku's weapons were thrown many feet away from Kohaku, leaving him defenseless. 'Sango, you and I both know that Kohaku probably won't be able to live without the jewel shards, and even if he did...those memories...' Kagome's voice played inside Sango's head. 'I know what I'm saying may sound cruel...but killing him may be your only option.'
'No! Kagome, you don't understand...'
'Sango, how would you be in Kohaku's position. Would you ever forgive yourself or let yourself live if your memories all of a sudden returned to you?'
'No, I wouldn't, but...'
'Sango, what I'm saying may be cruel, but letting him live with those kinds of memories is even crueler.'
'...Kagome.'
'Do you understand what I'm saying?'
'...Yes.'
'Just, promise me one thing.'
'What is it, Kagome?'
'Don't go with him, Sango. You still have so much to do in this world.'
'...I promise, Kagome.'
Tears ran down Sango's cheeks as she held the sword at Kohaku's neck. Kilala gave a low growl to encourage her to go on. Sango smiled sadly and raised her sword. "I'm sorry, Kohaku." She drove the sword through his heart. His eyes drooped closed and one tear escaped.
"I'm sorry, Sango." Kohaku's voice came out and he went still. Sango stared disbelievingly at her brother's eyes. He apologized, and she could tell that he meant it. Kilala nudged Sango out of her shocked state and she threw her arms around Kilala's neck. Sobbing into Kilala's fur, she felt one of Kilala's paws try and pat her on the back.
"I'm so sorry."
With Inuyasha and the group
They all glared at Naraku. Kikyou, Yukina, Kagome, Sango, and Kilala still hadn't shown up yet. None of them were surprised about Sango and Kilala. All of them were worried about the other three girls. What were they doing?
"I see you bunch have made it this far, and without Kikyou or Kagome? There is no hope for you now." Naraku had a victory glint in his eye. "This was all too easy." As soon as the last word escaped his lips, a mass of youkai charged straight for them.
"Look at who's talking! KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha swung the Tetsuaiga and some of the youkai were destroyed. Sesshoumaru took some out with his poison whip and Miroku sucked as many as he could into his wind tunnel before the insects came. There were still thousands upon thousands of youkai still coming straight for them.
Naraku smirked. All too easy. He had expected Kagura to rebel and for her to lock Kanna up until the fight was over, but even with all of that, it was all too easy. Naraku felt about five rather harsh blows to his back, sending him flying forward a few feet. He turned around to face whoever had hit him.
"Hello, Naraku."
With Kagome
Kagome watched the fight on Naraku's left. Kikyou was on his other side, and both of their auras were hidden. They watched as Yukina walked boldly behind Naraku after he sent the massive hoards of Youkai at the others. Kikyou and Kagome notched their arrows as Yukina hit Naraku repeatedly on the back. They were so close...
With Yukina
"Hello, Naraku." Yukina glared at Naraku, readying her mace for another attack.
"Who are you?" Naraku snarled, his red eyes blazing with hate. Yukina stood her ground and swung once more, knowing Naraku would just step back. Prepared for this, Yukina made her mace extend so that it took a rather large chunk of his side.
"Yukina." Was all said. Naraku backhanded her and sent Yukina flying into the building, then felt purifying arrows pierce him.
"KAZE NO KIZU!" Inuyasha swung his sword down and the power went straight towards Naraku. Sesshoumaru charged at Naraku with his Toujikin and sliced Naraku multiple times while Kouga brought out his claws and used them repeatedly. Miroku took out his scrolls and threw them at Naraku, and Kagura sent her 'dance of the dragon' attack his was. Sango and Kilala appeared and she threw her boomerang at him. The last ingredient was Yukina sending a blast of her energy towards Naraku. Kagome finally ran out of arrows and sent one full of pure energy at Naraku, pouring as much miko power as she could into that arrow.
After sending that arrow into Naraku, Kagome ran for Yukina and grabbed her friend, who had run out of energy and was about to pass out. Naraku couldn't take all of these attacks at once and he finally lost. Kagome was thrown back with Yukina into the wall, as was everybody else and they were surrounded in flames. Yukina had passed out and Kagome was about to do the same. She felt herself being pinned to the wall by the explosion of Naraku and soon felt herself going through five or six walls before hitting a tree.
She blacked out.
End of Chappie
TYN: I can't believe I did that.
Yusuke: While TYN is shocked and can't control her thoughts, let us review what she is stunned over. She is stunned for killing off Kohaku, for writing the end of Naraku, for writing it poorly, and making it really short.
TYN: I can't believe it.
Yusuke: Just read and review. TYN is in shock.
TYN: I can't believe it. I really can't. How could I? I can't believe it.
