Chapter 2: A Battle
Naraku, draped in his baboon pelt, stepped out of the forest and into the clearing below the God Tree. "This will be great, a hanyou and a miko, both soon to be dead, and in the exact same place as fifty years ago. How ironic that history should repeat itself. Kukuku.." Naraku cackled as he moved toward the duo and Inuyasha growled a low warning.
"Leave now Naraku." Inuyasha yelled pulling out Tetsiaga as and planting him self in front of Kagome as her protection. "You'll never get her or the Shikon no Tama, as long as I'm alive and standing. I'm going to make you pay for all that you've done!" And he charged straight for the evil hanyou crouching lower to the ground in preparation for Inuyasha's attack. As Inuyasha came down sword drawn, Naraku dodged and moved toward Kagome at a blurring speed. Kagome screamed and Inuyasha turned, "KAGOME!!!!!"
Naraku hurtled the girl and almost had her when a monstrous boomerang sailed through the air and almost cut the demon in half, forcing Naraku to move back or be crushed. He dodged, but the effort had lost him his momentum toward Kagome, and given Inuyasha the precious seconds he needed to place himself in front of the miko again. He let out a deadly snarl as Naraku landed safely not 20 yards away, and turned toward the pair. Inuyasha turned back to the girl behind him, "I'll keep him busy Kagome. You need to leave now! We can't have him getting either of you." Kagome opened her mouth to protest but Inuyasha cut her off. " Don't argue about this with me! Just do as I say and GO! Now!" He roared and raced at Naraku catching him just enough off guard that Inuyasha was able to start attacking him. "Leave Kagome or I swear I'll skin you alive later!" He shouted as he bore down with his sword, against a phantom sword that Naraku had conjured.
"Kukuku….don't you worry Inuyasha, I will make her death swift and painless, so that she can join you quickly in the AfterLife!" Naraku laughed as he started to retaliate against Inuyasha's attacks and at that Kagome fled toward Sango and Miroku.
"Don't just stand there! Let's go to Kaede's and warn them. Maybe we can get him some help!" She shouted as she passed them. Sango and Miroku turned to follow her, both knowing that the fight would be over long before they ever reached the village. They just hoped that Inuyasha would at least survive the battle. If only for Kagome's sake.
They had just reached the clearing beyond when they heard a howl coming back from the battle field. Kagome stopped in her tracks, that had been a howl of pain, not of triumph, and it had belonged to Inuyasha.
(I should just end it right there…..
But I won't……….hehe!)
Inuyasha grunted as he forced his sword toward the evil hanyou below him. He was going to pay for all that he had done, Naraku was going to fie. And Inuyasha was going to be the one who did it, if it killed him. Inuyasha snarled at Naraku, and the baboon smiled condescendingly, "You like that little slip of a miko don't you? I can smell you all over her, and here I thought you loved Kikyou all this time. Maybe I was wrong, maybe I kill that girl nice and slow, just for the satisfaction of knowing that even in hell you'll still be able to hear her screams of pain, and you won't be able to do anything about it. It's a shame I'll have to kill you first." And Naraku shoved the enraged hanyou away from him easily, cackling all the while. Inuyasha growled low in his throat, "I won't let you hurt her! I'll kill you First!" And he leapt at Naraku again trying his hardest to land a blow, but this time the hanyou was ready and nothing seemed to touch him. Naraku laughed again. "You'll never be able to touch me!"
Naraku continued to dodge Inuyasha sword and he smiled all the while.
Inuyasha soon began to pant from the exertion and started to slow, Naraku's smile got bigger and he began to take occasional swipes with his own miasma sword. The attacks were lazy on his part and for all that they still scored the hanyou with cuts. Soon Inuyasha was breathing heavily and bleeding from many wounds, he held his sword in his left hand and clutched at his right shoulder where a particularly deep wound had struck bone and left his right arm completely useless, blood dripped through his fingers making his grip on Tetsiga loose and slippery. He was still growling though, "I….. won't…. let… you…hurt….her." Inuyasha panted softly between each word. "You…..can't….have….her!" Inuyasha reaffirmed his grip on his sword and shifted into a standing position. Naraku snorted in disbelief, "You can't even stand, and you can't protect her any more. I've tried of this game…now DIE!" Naraku's sword disappeared and his hands came tougher to form a miasma ball. The dark mass grew bigger and then raced toward the Inu-hanyou's form, and Inuyasha could even move. As the black mass hit Inuyasha howled in pain and blacked out not even aware that he had voiced his pains to the world. His last thought was of Kagome *I hope she got far enough to get back to the village in time. Maybe they can protect her. I'm sorry I couldn't Kagome.*
The scene that Kagome came to was one that would stick in her heart forever. Naraku stood cackling madly as he fired a miasma beam at an unconscious Inuyasha. Kagome couldn't tell if he was even alive. *No he can't be dead. I won't ALLOW him to be dead! We just started a relationship of some sort! He can't die now! NOOOOOOOO* "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Kagome screamed as she raced to the fallen hanyou, not noticing as she pulled out the incomplete Shikon no Tama from around her neck. She was acting purely on instinct now, only aware of the fact that she had to save her beloved Inuyasha. Kagome leapt forward, the Shikon in front of her like a talisman, straight into the path of Naraku's miasma beam.
Naraku blinked and then laughed as the foolish miko disappeared into his energy stream *She'll never survive that! To bad I didn't get to kill her myself, oh well. At least she's dead, and I can claim the Shikon!* Naraku was still gloating only moments later when her felt a shift in his stream. Parts of it were coming back to him, and it was hurting him! What the hell was going on! Naraku looked up from his contemplation of his stream and what he saw amazed him. That girl, that unformed miko was purifying his stream! And using the Shikon as well! "This can't be!" Naraku shouted, but Kagome couldn't hear him, she only felt his rage when he increased the size of his miasma beam. Kagome looked down at the incomplete jewel and concentrated. This jewel had come from her, so she should be able to control it, well at least that was the thought she had had, and it was turning out to be right.
*But it's on half complete and so it's only helping with half the stream. I know that I can purify some of the rest, but I can't also send the miasma back to Naraku. It would only replenish him. What to do with it…..?* Kagome's head snapped up and the stream ceased to flow around her, but went straight into the palm holding the Shikon close to her body. Her other hand she cast out, back toward Naraku palm flat and watched as a stream for pure white light was cast toward the evil hanyou. She couldn't even hear his scream of pain and defiance. Kagome just concentrated on purifying the miasma and sending it out. The rest she took into her body. It was a large amount, but she knew that it would have some effect on her body, she could already feel it doing something, but surprisingly it didn't hurt in the least. Maybe it was because she was purifying at the same time, but the darkness of Naraku's miasma just seemed to slip into a place inside her and settle there. Kagome didn't even question it, just accepted whatever was helping her save Inuyasha. She looked up from her inner contemplations and was surprised to see that Naraku's beam was getting smaller, and that he was retreating from her powers. Kagome had had no idea she could do this, and it felt great! *I'm finally helping them fight!* Kagome crowed in her mind *I'm actually doing something!*
Kagome held the stream of purifying light on Naraku until he disappeared from sight. Then she immediately detached herself from the Shikon and it fell back to its rightful place around her neck. Kagome then turned swiftly to Inuyasha and knelt next to him. She looked at his face and chest waiting with bated breath, and then let out a sigh as she saw his chest rise and fall. Kagome grinned in pure relief and stretched a hand toward the hanyou to waken him. She dimly noticed Miroku, Shippo, and Sango joining them, but she was focused on Inuyasha, who was stirring from her touch. Inuyasha blinked at her in surprise, "Kagome! What are you….?" He was cut off as Kagome put a finger to his lips and then smiled at him. "It looks like…..I got to save you for once." Kagome smiled again and then collapsed on top of the stunned Inuyasha. He responded with out thinking wrapping the girl in his arms. "Kagome!!" He shouted, and then looked toward the others. "What happened to her?" He yelled as he checked her pulse, and then relaxed as he found it beating strongly in her neck. Miroku stepped forward. "Let's discuss this on the way to Kaede's. Kagome needs to get her rest." Inuyasha looked at them suspiciously but nodded at then and followed. *What did you do Kagome, and how did you save me?*
To be continued….
How indeed? What did Kagome do? And how will all that demon energy affect her? Don't worry you'll find out later. :) Just send me some reviews and you'll get another chapter. I hope this is original enough. I am in college, so it might be a little before the next chapter, but don't worry I should have another in at least a week! :)
