The Battle that Would Win the War
Chapter One: And so it begins
We all dreamed of this. We spoke about it. We wished for it to come. We wished for it to never be. This, the centre of our hopes and dreams, as well as our fears and nightmares.
This, the final battle.
Here it was. The ultimate trial of our wisdom, friendship, bravry and love. So much relies on our chioces and actions.
Each of us are here for a different reason. Miroku is here to end Naraku's life and in doing so end his hereditary curse. Sango is here to get revenge for the deaths of her family and village, she also is here to free Kohaku from Naraku's control. Shippo is here because the war for the Shikon Shards killed his father. InuYasha is here because he needs the complete Jewel to become a full demon.
I, Kagome Higurashi, am here because this is all my fault.
I was the one who's carelessness let the crow demon steal the Shikon no Tama in the first place. My insitence on helping a drowning boy instead of telling InuYasha where the Jewel was. And it was my arrow that caused the Jewel to shatter.
Although none of the others, with the exception of InuYasha of course, would admit or evn suggest it, I am the reason for most of thier suffering.
If it were not for me, Shippo's father would still be alive, Miroku would be able to battle a weaker Naraku and Sango's whole village would still be amoug the living.
And so I am here,trying to correct my horrible mistake.
Here we walk, striding towards Naraku's last known location. We know he is still there, waiting for us to arrive. Traps are to be expected but around my neck hangs half of the complete Shikon no Tama. Naraku holds the other half in his possestion.
The final battle is upon us and I know that good does not always win. I have grown too old to always expect the perfect happily ever after, but I hope that for once this will be allowed to be a fuedal fairy tale. No matter what, we can't give up now we are too close to the finish line.
Dangerous? Oh, yeah, most definately. Suicidal? I can only hope not.
