Chapter 13: The Final Showdown

"All right." InuYasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku stood in front of Kaede's hut. Kaede and Shippo stood in the doorway watching them gathering everything together for their fight.

"You guys be careful ok?" Kagome nodded. She went to Shippo and kissed him on the head.

"We'll be back soon, O.K Shippo?" Shippo nodded and hugged Kagome around the neck.

"Kirara." Kirara transformed and Miroku and Sango climbed onto her back. InuYasha knelt down and motioned for Kagome to climb on. Kagome laughed.

"Remember I'm hanyou now?" InuYasha scowled.

"I'm just so used to you riding on my back." Kagome shrugged her shoulders and climbed onto his back.

"Well it is more comfortable." Kagome smiled at InuYasha. Kaede walked over to Kagome and InuYasha and handed Kagome a bow and a quiver of arrows.

"Thank you Kaede." Kaede nodded before pointing at the arrows.

"This is infused with a special sutra. It will increase your powers ten fold." Kagome smiled.

"Thank you." InuYasha turned his head to look at Kagome.

"Ready?" Kagome nodded and the group set off into the sunset.

Naraku's Fallen Fortress

InuYasha landed next to Kirara. Miroku and Sango climbed down off of Kirara and looked around at the rubble. Sango grasped the Hiraikotsu tighter behind her.

"This is it." Kagome climbed down from InuYasha and walked through the broken gate. Sango, Miroku, InuYasha and Kirara followed behind her.

"So where do you think they are?" Sango looked around at all the rubble form the previous battle three days ago. Miroku closed his eyes.

"I feel a demon aura coming from inside the castle." Sango nodded her head and walked to the Castle porch.

"Lets go." The gang walked into the castle. Three hallways branched off of the main foyer. Kagome looked around trying to decide which way to go.

"So where do we go?" Miroku looked around.

"This way." Miroku walked down the hallway to the right. The hall was dimly light by a few torches, indicating that someone must have been there recently.

"Look, a trap door." Sango kicked a skeleton out of the way and lifted the door in the ground. Kagome looked at all the dead skeletons leading down the staircase.

"This gives me the creeps." InuYasha started down the stairs.

"Lets go." They walked for what seemed hours. They finally came to a door and heard voices behind it. InuYasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga quietly and looked at the rest of them.

"Ready?" Sango grabbed the strap of Hiraikotsu, Miroku gripped his staff, and Kagome notched an arrow loosely.

BBBBBAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

InuYasha kicked the door open and charged in.

"Sorry to crash the party!" Kanna looked up from her mirror. Hundreds of demons surrounded her. Kohaku grabbed his chain scythe and lunged at InuYasha.

"InuYasha, I will take Kohaku, get rid of the demons!" Sango rushed forward with Hiraikotsu.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango launched the boomerang at Kohaku. InuYasha hesitated a second before turning his attention to Kanna.

"Well, so many new playmates." InuYasha brought the Tetsusaiga over his head.

"Wind scar!" InuYasha brought the sword down hard and unleashed the power from the sword. Kagome notched an arrow and fired it at Kanna. The arrow knocked the mirror out of her hands. Miroku ran for the mirror and caught it. He pulled out a ofuda and slammed it onto the glass.

"Hyaaaa!" Miroku threw the mirror on the floor and smashed it with his staff. Kanna looked unfazed.

"DANCE OF BLADES!" white blades appeared and slashed Kanna into Kanna's back. Kagome and InuYasha whirled around.

"Kagura?" InuYasha asked. Kagura smiled wryly.

"I told you that I was no threat." Kagome smiled and turned back to the demons still left. Kagura stared at Kanna before finishing her off.

"Dance Of The Dragon!" Kanna was hit dead on. Her body disintegrated into the air.

"Time to finish this!" Kagome notched an arrow and aimed for the remaining demons that InuYasha was currently fighting off.

"GO!" She released the arrow. Blue light engulfed it and the demons disintegrated. Everyone turned toward the fight with Sango and Kohaku.

"Kohaku! You no longer have a jewel shard in your back, so why? Why are you still under a spell?" Sango dodged the chain scythe. Kohaku pulled the scythe back and launched it again. Sango threw Hiraikotsu. Kohaku dodged it and threw the scythe.

BBBBBBLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sango fell to her knees. A large gash on her left side poured out crimson blood.

"Sango!" Miroku rushed forward and threw his staff at Kohaku. Sango stood up slowly.

"No Miroku, this is my fight. I know you said that you would do everything in your power to help, but I have to do this alone." Sango gazed determinedly at Miroku. Miroku nodded his head and stepped back. Kohaku stared at her, his eyes hallow.

"Kohaku remember when you told me you were scared, scared to be a demon slayer?" Kohaku threw the scythe at Sango, cutting her right side.

"Remember, when we first found Kirara?" Sango pleaded. She stood slowly, the pain in her body slowing her down. Miroku watched her face contort in pain.

"Sango." He whispered. Kagome stared at Miroku. Her eyes averted back to the fight.

"Remember? Remember father and all the other slayers?" Kohaku froze. Tears rolled down Sango's face.

"Sa...San...Sango?" Sango smiled at Kohaku.

"Remember me? Kohaku?" Sango closed her eyes and collapsed on the ground. Kohaku's eyes turned brown.

"SANGO!" Kohaku dropped his weapon and ran to Sango. Kohaku pulled Sango up and hugged her.

"I'm so sorry Sango! Please forgive me!" Kohaku cried. Sango opened her eyes slowly and smiled.

"I forgive you Kohaku. I love you, little brother." Kagome's heart broke at the sight. Her ears twitched back and forth.

"We have to get Sango back to Kaede, her breathing's shallow, she's lost a lot of blood." Miroku nodded and ran to Sango. Kohaku hugged his sister tightly.

"Thank you." Miroku placed a hand on Kohaku's shoulder.

"We have to tend to Sango's wounds, come." Kohaku nodded his head and let Miroku pick up Sango. InuYasha gazed at the ash and dust that covered the ground.

"It's finally over." Kagome nodded her head.

"Yea." InuYasha hugged Kagome. Miroku walked over, holding Sango in his arms. Kagome looked around.

"Where's Kagura?" InuYasha shrugged his shoulders, sheathing Tetsusaiga.

"She probably left, now that she's totally free from Naraku's control." Sango opened her eyes and looked at Miroku.

"Hey." Miroku smiled.

"How are you feeling?" Sango grinned.

"I've been better." Kohaku came up to Sango. Kohaku smiled at Sango. Sango raised her hand and ruffled his hair.

"I'm glad that you're okay." Kohaku frowned.

"I'm sorry I hurt you." Sango smiled.

"I'll be okay." They exited the underground room and left for the village.
