A/N: (hums a tune) Chapter 43! How fun! It's here! And to read our lovely disclaimer, we have the not-so-lovely Toutousai, the mastermind sword smith of our favorite twin fangs...
Toutousai: This seems to be a very somber moment, so I shall try to keep the mood. Please, little pirates out there, do not steal this poor girl's work. This poor woman has put over a year of her life and time into making it...if you would maybe like to borrow some of her ideas, then please, ask her. She will most likely say that you may. So please, imagine if you were Aki. You've written 43 chapters of a story about something she loves very much, and she is almost done with the first part out of three. Over a year's worth of growth, love, time, and of her life were put into it. But imagine...what if...one day, she was just browsing through the list of other stories on this site, and she happens to come across one that contains material related to hers. Of course, she would read it, just out of pure interest, and discovered that it was almost an exact replica of her own work. Your reaction may be to flame the person through reviews, or in messaging programs, but Aki, will not...she merely pities the person...for they cannot delve into their own heart and discover their own, individual talent. So please, don't steal. It's wrong...
Me: Yes...and for those of you out there who have already stolen, and I have yet to look for, may you bow your head in shame...And I'm not saying this because I found somebody who stole my work or anything, it's just a end-of-the-story kind of thing, you know...anyway...Reviews!
Dragon Man, thank you! OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have just saved me from fruitless hours of reading my dictionary trying to put all the words together into something that sounds cool. I think Sasuke's breaking free...so...I shall...YELL REALLY LOUDLY THAT ITACHI IS IN TIMBUKTU! (Sasuke disappears into thin air, forgetting all his weapons) Quick, hide all of them so you can have original shinobi gear, and then you could be a Konoha ninja next Halloween! (And yes, all the lovely little names of everything will be most likely used this chapter)
Angie, lol...ur so silly...but Inu and Kagome aren't gonna exactly live together forever and have a happily ever after for quite some time...Yes, I know you like shorter chapters...everyone seems to...but this one may end up being slightly longer than Ch. 42...but it won't be over 10,000 words...I swear it.
Riku, awww I'm sorry! Your case is worse than mine! Jeez...I complain about such little things that don't really even matter...(mumbles incoherently) Really? You liked it that much? (eyes also go dream-chibi) This is one of the happiest moments of my life! And just for you, I have some anti-fluff-pass-out pills. You don't kill it. You do very well with it. And if it makes you feel any better, I'll give fluff-writing lessons so you can improve. And anyone who wants lessons can also receive them. Well, my mom's mostly the reason why Kouga's vocabulary is so lacking and why he seems like such a dumb ass...she's been like, freaking out and getting all pissed and crap at me...simply because most of my grades for my classes this quarter are B's. So she's been pushing me to get straight A's, and she's been pushing too hard. So hard that I'm getting stressed, and ending up with little to no time for myself. So she's been getting on my case about my grades, saying, "You're not gonna get into a good college with B's!" But actually, colleges only accept people with a C or higher...but no her own child just isn't good enough and she wants her child to be perfect...(shuts self up) This is the wrong place and time to talk about my stupid life, my apologies, dearest Riku-chan...anyway...(chokes) I highly doubt mine is better than Takahashi-sama's. But I'm very flattered...thank you... (Snorts) My angst will eternally be surpassed by your angst. My kung-fu is not as superior as your kung-fu! Please, excuse me, I'm drinking the new Coke, C2...the sugar is going to my brain... (Sighs) Wow, my response to your review is the longest...Have fun writing!
John Bellamy, hello there! Thank you! That I will. This is the chapter before the last one. (Claps hands over mouth) Did I say that out loud? Shimatta! (Shuts self up) Anyway, this chapter is really good...even though I wrote it with only a ¼ of my sanity...and energy...I lacked sleep a few nights...buuut anyway, nobody cares about that...
Now here's a little note, Ch. 42 went all stupid on me and right at the fluffy moment, it cut out several words...and that seriously pissed me off. Anyway...enough of all my rambling! Less talk more story! So shutting up, here's Ch. 43!
Chapter Forty-Three: Eien ni Tengoku
As if in response to Inuyasha's challenging taunt, Naraku smirked, several of his many appendages curling skyward in menacing arcs, the tips twisting into a cruel, drill-like form.
Inuyasha scoffed, mocking Naraku's attempt to scare him.
"Kukukukukuku..." The oni-hanyou laughed, raising the appendages to attack.
They all dart forward as one in a quick, fluid motion. Everyone moves to the side, but not before realizing one has captured something.
Hana and Sesshoumaru's eyes widen as they see poor, defenseless Rin held in Naraku's grasp. Jaken cries out in the background, out of sheer terror he may lose his head after the battle is over, or that Rin will die.
Naraku's smirk grows, as he slowly tightens his grip around sweet little Rin.
"Sesshoumaru-otou-sama! Hana-okaa-sama!" She cries out, straining her frail muscles to try and break free.
Toukijin is drawn in a heartbeat, and Hana's miko aura is ablaze about her. Sesshoumaru rushes forward and hastily severs the appendage, catching Rin as she falls, Hana shooting another arrow at Naraku, the glimmering miko aura around it mixed slightly with her own youkai power, in a way of warning.
The arrow shoots through his body, and he merely laughs and brushes it off, expecting his body to regenerate from the attack. His eyes gleam full of hatred, realization hitting that the gap in his chest wasn't healing like it should.
"...Bitch..." He growled.
Another appendage shot out, Hana put up a barrier just in time, straining to hold it up against Naraku. The tentacle pushed itself through the pure aura-shield and snagged the thin cord of her rosary on her wrist, the string split and the beads fell and scattered. The miko-youkai glanced at them, her youkai appearance unmasking itself.
Naraku seemed mildly shocked, Kikyou who still lay slumped over and still impaled by one of Naraku's earlier tentacles, looked up, gasping slightly. However, Naraku's shock was rather short-lived. Using the distraction to his advantage, he broke the barrier, and with an immense amount of force, pushed Hana back.
Sesshoumaru quickly put Rin to the side, running as fast as his youkai speed would allow, Hana rushing toward him as he caught her with one arm, the poison whip in his other hand slicing the tentacle before it could to any more damage to his mate.
Hana cried out in pain from having the wind knocked out of her, trying to catch her breath and one hand clutched at her chest, gripping a bit of the white fabric of her yukata in a tight knot, the other was holding her abdomen. Sesshoumaru looked at her with the first look of genuine concern in his eyes. The taiyoukai did not conceal how he felt. At that moment, nothing else mattered.
"Daijoubu, Hana-chan?" He asked.
Hana noticed the instant drop of formality he used when he usually said her name. Smiling weakly, she replied.
"Hai, daijoubu, anata..." She replied. "...demo...the pup...it could be hurt..." She added in a whisper.
Sesshoumaru nodded in understanding.
"Rin, come!" He barked.
The small girl scurried over as fast as her legs would carry her, fear evident in her eyes. Upon reaching him, she clung to him tightly.
"Chichi-ue!" She cried. "Haha-ue!"
The Inu-youkai held his family in a quick embrace before drawing Tenseiga, holding it firmly in his hand, crouched into a battle-ready stance.
"Inuyasha, Hana-chan is injured, possibly internally...I need something of you, Ototo-chan..."
The hanyou looked over his shoulder quirking an eyebrow at his elder brother.
"And what would that be?"
"Inuyasha, I need you to defeat Naraku as quickly as you can. I must protect my family. I will use Tenseiga's power to create a barrier, but I doubt it will hold for long. That is why you must hurry. Do you understand?"
"Keh! That's it? Getting lazy now are we?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome snapped at him. "Sesshoumaru has every reason to not fight."
"Oh sure, stick up for that senile bastard, why don't you?"
"Will you all just shut the hell up?! We are in a fight right now, and this is no time to argue!" Mei Lhi yelled at them all. "So, Sesshoumaru, try to stay alive, ne?"
The taiyoukai nodded, the others turning their attention to Naraku, who had taken this opportunity of his opponent's inattentiveness to put up his own barrier and summon Kagura and Kanna. The youkai shook the appendage where Kikyou was still attached, flinging her off, the undead miko landing several feet away. Kikyou stood on quavering legs, her body had become the soil shell it had been before, her Shinindama-chuu appeared, assisting her with a vast amount of souls. The miko's wound healed before their eyes, as she picked up her bow and slung the quiver over her shoulder.
Kagura observed the scene amusedly, her fan in hand. Kanna was the same as ever, simply staring blankly into space, but instead of her mirror, she held Naraku's heart in her arms.
"...Kagura, get rid of these vermin...and make sure not to let Inuyasha or any one of his companions to get too close to Kanna..."
The wind sorceress sighed as she opened her fan. Rolling her eyes she nodded, looking to each possible opponent.
"You..." She said, looking directly at Kyo. "I have business with you...so I'll kill you first..."
Kyo let out a short laugh before quickly turning it into a cough.
"Kagura, my power surpasses yours in every way possible...you are weak to me...you are not worth my time..." He said, looking off to the side passively.
Kagura's eyes narrowed.
"Such arrogance boy...you will learn..."
Raising her fan into an attack stance she cried, "Fuujin no Mai!"
The wind blades shot from her fan, Kyo glanced at them briefly before they vanished into the air around them.
"You seem surprised, Kagura...I told you before...I am the wind..."
The wind blades reappeared and they did a boomerang effect and headed back towards its originator.
Kagura's eyes widened considerably in shock, and then sighing relief upon realizing that Naraku had put up his own barrier.
"Kyoshi-kun...I'll take care of that bitch..." Mei Lhi said, turning to him.
The Ryuuyoukai nodded at her in understanding.
She raised her sword and thinking back to how her brother had broken the barrier around the Saimyoushou so long ago, she concentrated on how the blade of her brother's sword had turned a deep crimson and easily cut through the shield.
Looking at the blade of her own sword, she saw it too was red. With a quick swing, the image of her brother breaking the barrier in her mind's eye, she broke the barrier around Kagura.
Smirking, she had a gleam in her eyes that brightened upon seeing the look on Kagura's face.
"...this may be interesting...you very well can be worth my time..." Kagura said as she too, smirked.
The wind sorceress licked her lips in excitement, her fan quivering with anticipation in her outstretched hand. Raising her fan again to prepare for her counterattack, she drew back her arm.
"Fuujin no Mai!" She yelled as she swung her arm forward, her wrist snapping upwards to unleash the attack.
The wind blades were unleashed, Mei Lhi quickly dodged.
"Mane suru! Kaze no Kizu!" She cried as she leapt off to the side.
The Wound of the Wind cut through the earth, which Kagura barely dodged.
'Her fighting style differs from Inuyasha's...' She noted.
-
Kyo lifted his weapon, Amatsu Kazagurma into a battle-ready stance, looking to Inuyasha and the others.
"Firstly, we'll need to make a plan. Inuyasha, Kouga, we'll keep Naraku at bay. Sango, Miroku, help Mei if you can. Kagome, just choose whatever you wish to do...Shippou, I will ask you to stay either with Ginta and Hakkaku or with Sesshoumaru...I don't exactly trust Jaken right now..." He explained.
All nodded in agreement.
They all split up and the men prepared to strike against their fated enemy.
"Inuyasha, take the center, Kouga, the right, I'll take the left!"
'I can't believe I'm actually listening to that fucking runt...but then again, he kinda sounds like he's got an idea...and like he knows what the hell he's doing...so I'll just go with it...but if I don't like it, I'm going my own way...' Inuyasha thought, as he raised Tetsusaiga.
"We'll attack on three..."
Kyo looked to the others. The hanyou and Yamainu youkai nodded in understanding.
"...Ichi...ni...SAN!"
Inuyasha swung Tetsusaiga yelling "Kaze no Kizu!" Kouga charged with a swift kick, Kyo spun the Amatsu Kazagurma yelling "Tsuiraku Teikiatsu!"
All three attacks made impact, Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu cut through Naraku and wounded him, Kouga's kick knocked the evil hanyou backwards, and Kyo's Tsuiraku Teikiatsu tore whatever was left of Naraku after the Kaze no Kizu into bits and pieces.
Inuyasha was about to sigh with relief, thinking it was over.
"Don't let your guard down yet...he's not dead...our attacks didn't work...hmmm..." Kyo instructed, the last bit he began to mumble to himself.
Naraku's body began to regenerate back into his whole form except for the hole from Hana's arrow which still remained.
He closed his eyes in thought. Upon opening them, he had formed another plan.
"We'll use more force..."
Inuyasha looked at the Ryuuyoukai questioningly.
"What good will that do? Shit, using more force is only gonna wear us out and do nothing to get rid of Naraku...Kyo, you're really a baka kusotare aren't you? If you're the wind and supposedly everywhere then you should know that no matter how bad we fuck up that bastard's body it'll keep coming back for more! We've got to get to his heart!" He grumbled.
Kyo considered the hanyou's words, finding that a small grin crept onto his face, still somewhat concealed in the corners of his mouth.
-
"KYUSAI!" Mei Lhi screamed, swinging the blade, catching her breath for a few seconds afterward. "Shit...just die, you stupid bitch!"
"Hmph...sorry...but no...Ryuuja no Mai!" Kagura replied her smirk growing broader by the minute.
The towering cyclones of wind managed to catch the hanyou girl in between them, the wind blew so hard that it seemed knives were hidden in the cyclones, which Mei Lhi didn't doubt for a minute.
"Sango-chan, Miroku! Hurry! I don't have the time to deal with her!"
The taijiya and houshi nodded at one another. Sango threw Hiraikotsu, Miroku threw ofuda and various binding sutras at the wind sorceress. To their luck, Hiraikotsu caught Kagura from behind and knocked the wind out of her. Miroku's ofuda and sutras hit their mark, and the wind sorceress found herself stuck.
She grinned maliciously. Mei Lhi didn't like the look in her eyes.
"...Kohaku..." She said.
Sango froze, as she saw her little brother approaching. Kagome turned to see in what she hoped was just in time.
"Sango-chan! Get away! Hurry! That isn't your brother!" The miko girl cried.
The taijiya's senses fogged over, and she watched glassy-eyed as her younger sibling raised his sickle-chain blade weapon, and prepared to strike.
"SANGO-CHAAAAAN!!!!!!!!"
The sickle-chain blade cut a path through the air, towards Sango. Miroku ran over quickly and pushed her down onto the ground to dodge the strike.
"Houshi-sama..." Sango murmured quietly.
"Sango, daijoubu?" He asked.
"Hai, I'm alright..."
The monk helped the still shock-stricken youkai exterminator to her feet, and gave her a small push to urge her along. He flashed her a small smile of encouragement, before he turned back to Kohaku and blocked another strike with his shakujou, his expression hardening with seriousness focusing his attention on the fight at hand.
Sango quickly recomposed herself and joined Kagome.
"Kagome-chan...what can we do to help the others right now?"
The miko girl looked around, thinking.
"Kikyou...we have to help Kikyou...Hana-chan was able to get through to her, but Naraku's taken control again...but because she became herself again, she still has good left in her..."
"Kagome-chan...you would be willing to save Kikyou? She's been your main competition for Inuyasha's affections since day one. Are you so much in love with him that you'd give up any chance at all for a future with him?"
"Oh Sango-chan, it's not like that...I thought it was too...but...Kikyou is out of the picture now...Inuyasha doesn't love her anymore...he told me that he loved me back there, so I don't think I have to worry anymore."
Sango looked imploringly into her friend's smiling face, and nodded. The two of them moved towards Kikyou very slowly and as careful as possible.
"Kikyou..." Kagome whispered.
The undead miko's head lifted as she turned to look at them.
"...reincarnation..." She breathed in reply.
"Kikyou, I am going to save you now..."
Naraku turned and took note of what was occurring.
"Kikyou, kill them both!" He ordered.
Kikyou glanced at the youkai from the corner of her eyes, looking bored; she notched an arrow, and aimed it at the taijiya and miko girl, giving a slight wink from one of her eyes.
"Kikyou, don't!" Kagome acted.
"I must." Kikyou replied, also perfectly acted.
Inuyasha whipped his head around, so did all the others, just in time to see Kikyou release an arrow...
...Directed straight for Naraku's heart.
The baby in Kanna's arms disintegrated, but not before transferring its heart back to Naraku. The essence of nothingness known as Kanna soon followed the baby's fate. Kagura's eyes widened in shock.
"Kanna!" She exclaimed, struggling to get free.
The ofuda that bound her down sizzled and crackled with a hot electricity-like force, which caused the wind sorceress to struggle more. In that moment, Kagura's body burned to ashes, her empty kimono and fan to remain. A gust of wind, all that there was left of Kagura swept the ashes away, the wind quickly dying as soon as it had come.
Kohaku crumpled to the ground, once again motionless and lifeless; his sickle-chain blade raised in midair slipped from between his fingers and hit the ground with a soft swishing sound. Sango turned to see her brother fall, her eyes bordered with tears wanting to fall.
The taijiya ran to her brother's body, cradling it in her arms.
"...Ane-ue...I'm free..." Kohaku whispered, as he finally lay still in his sister's arms.
"KOHAKU!!!!"
Tears streamed down Sango's face, her head rested on her brother's shoulder as she continued to cry.
Miroku lowered his shakujou and approached, comfortingly laying a hand on her shoulder.
"Sango...I am sorry..." He said quietly.
"Houshi-sama...why...why does it have to be this way...?"
"Ah, my dear Sango...that is just how some things are meant to be, I'm afraid...and no matter the circumstances, no matter how many times you go over it in your mind, thinking how it could've been prevented, you will find every time that it was meant to happen..."
Sango hiccupped several times before looking to Kagome with a tear-stained face.
"...Kagome-chan...gomen...but you'll have to go on without me..."
Kagome nodded in understanding, concern for her friend evident in her eyes.
"Kagome...you wish to make Naraku pay for what he has put your taijiya friend, through?" Kikyou asked.
The miko girl nodded.
"Good. Then you will have to get this spider thread out of me...and after that, I will tell you what must be done." She said with a grim smile.
Kagome found the thread and purified it with her touch, the bond breaking instantly.
"...Kagome, we cannot do this ourselves...we will need help..."
Kikyou's eyes glanced to Inuyasha, Kouga, Kyo, and finally they rested on Hana.
"Hana-chan, I am sorry...but your help will be needed to defeat him."
The miko-youkai looked up, and nodded.
"Rin-chan...my bow...and my quiver, please..." She said softly.
Rin nodded and slipped from under Sesshoumaru's arm and rushed over and grabbed both of them where they lay discarded on the earthen floor, returning as quickly as possible.
"Inuyasha, use the Bakuryuuha, Kouga, remove your shards and give them to Kagome, and step down..." Kikyou instructed. "Boy...you should know what you are to do..." She said, looking to Kyo.
Kyo nodded and stepped to the side, joining Mei Lhi. Kouga reluctantly left also, pulling out the shards from his legs and placing them in Kagome's hand. He walked away to stand by Ginta, Hakkaku, Aun, and Jaken.
"What do we do now?" Kagome asked, looking at the two shards in her hand.
"Pray...like we did before..." Kikyou replied, walking over to Hana, motioning to the young girl to follow.
Kagome quickly darted over, careful not to drop the shards, she joined the two mikos.
Kikyou placed her hand over Kagome's, and Hana did the same. All three of their hands were glowing with miko energy, a bright pink glow coming from Kagome's open palm.
They removed their hands and in Kagome's hand rested a single large shard.
"Put it on the arrowhead. Hurry."
The miko girl quickly put it into place.
"Inuyasha, NOW!"
The hanyou raised Tetsusaiga and swung forcefully.
"BAKURYUUHA!!!"
Gigantic columns of fast-whirling wind erupted from the blade, heading for Naraku.
Kikyou had an arrow ready, Kagome notching hers with the shard in it, Hana raising her bow, feeling Sesshoumaru's strong arms helping her hold it steady and pull the string back, moving with her movements, giving her all the energy and strength she needed.
The three arrows glowed a fierce, blinding white, Kikyou then nodded.
"IKEI!!!!"
WHIYUM!
All three arrows were released at the exact same moment, heavily gaining speed as they encircled Inuyasha's Bakuryuuha, the attacks streaking forward, mercilessly capturing Naraku at the heart of its fury.
Naraku let out a hollow moan as he was defeated at last. He disintegrated into a fine dust and left a complete Shikon no Tama in the earth.
Miroku unwrapped the rosary on his right hand, tears of joy forming in his eyes.
Kazaana was gone. The hellish curse was no more.
Kyo put away his weapon, sighing with relief. Mei Lhi and Inuyasha sheathed their swords. The three mikos dropping their bows and quivers out of sheer exhaustion.
Sesshoumaru helped Hana to her feet, letting her use one of his arms to support herself. The taiyoukai walked over to Sango where she still sobbed softly.
"Ningen...move..." He said.
The taijiya looked at him confusedly, and saw the blade in his hand, she cried once more, a small smile creeping across her face.
"I cannot assure you that it will work..."
Sango nodded in understanding, and watched as Sesshoumaru raised the blade skyward and brought it down in a sweeping arc, then finally sheathing his blade he turned around, his back facing the taijiya.
Kohaku opened his eyes.
"Ane-ue...daijoubu?"
Sango flung her arms around him, embracing him tightly.
"Sesshoumaru...arigatou..."
-
As the sun was slowly setting, the group had made camp, recovering from the day's events.
"Inuyasha...I wish to speak with you...privately..." Kikyou said.
Mei Lhi and Sango shot the undead miko suspicious glares, Kagome looking up, puzzled.
The hanyou nodded, and the two disappeared into the sea of trees that surrounded them.
-
"What is it? And make it quick, Kikyou..." Inuyasha asked annoyed.
"...have you considered what you promised me?"
The hanyou was caught by surprise.
"Hai...I have..." He finally answered.
"...what are you going to do, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha was silent for several moments before replying.
"I made that promise a long time ago...and I can't...I can't just break it...like they say...a man is true to his word...which is why I'll be leaving tomorrow morning...with you..."
Kikyou nodded.
"Until morning then..."
"Hai..."
Kikyou turned to walk away.
"Kikyou..."
"What is it, Inuyasha?"
"Don't tell them...any of them...I'll do it myself..."
The undead miko nodded and quickly vanished from sight.
"Kagome...Imouto-san...gomen..."
A/N: Sorry to leave you hanging, but hey, Naraku's dead, so let us all have a big harmonious cheer. Free sake and ramen for everyone! The last few pages of this chapter were inspired by music. When Naraku was being killed and everyone else was dying, I was listening to "Angelus" by Hitomi Shimatani, and then "Haruka Kanata" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation (yes, it's a "Naruto" song. Yeah, it's the 2nd opening theme too...) and after that, "Rocks" by Hound Dog (yet another "Naruto" song...1st opening theme...). For the sad parts after that, "Still Alone" by Hamasaki Ayumi, "Four Seasons" by Namie Amuro, "Dearest" by Hamasaki Ayumi, "My Will" by Dream, "Shinjitsu no Uta" by Do As Infinity, and "Fukai Mori" by Do As Infinity. Anyway...I get to listen to the really sad music later...for the next chapter...Ch. 44 is gonna be pretty sad...and you will seriously want to kill me, because that's officially the last one...Ch. 45 is actually a bonus sort of epilogue thing...dictionary time!
