Chapter 11: The Final Chapter
Inuyasha could only stare blankly at Kagome. Why was she fighting for Naraku? He could tell something was wrong, because Kagome was crying silently. Inuyasha decided he had to kill Naraku but not hurt Kagome. He quickly dashed towards but Kagome cut him off. "Why are you doing this Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, trying to get around her. "I have to Inuyasha." She said, blocking him. "Iron rever soul stealer." Inuyasha yelled. Kagome dodge the attack, and Inuyasha dashed towards Naraku. But he quickly saw a blade coming from the side. He caught the blade with both hands, only an inch or two from his face. "K-Kagome…y-you don't have to fight for him." He said, straining to hold back the blade. "You don't understand Inuyasha! Why do you think your normal again?" She yelled, jumping back from him. The two only stared at each other. Inuyasha hadn't really wondered how he had gotten back to normal. Kagome must have struck a deal with him but it backfired. But what was the catch that would make sweet Kagome fight him? The sound of Kagome yelling "Wind Scar!" snapped him out of his thoughts. He went to dodge the attack put was hit, knocking him on his back. Kagome then stared at him for a few seconds. She sniffed the air; his sent had changed. Inuyasha sat up with red marks on his face and blood red eyes. A sudden fear shot through her. Inuyasha could not control himself as a demon. With her holding the Tetsuiaga, he would change if his life were in danger. He said nothing as he stood up and looked at her. She could see blood thirst in his eyes. He was going to kill her, and nothing would stop him.
Sango could only sit and watch in horror, as her two friends fought. She knew she had to do something. She quickly thought about Naraku. He had to do something to Inuyasha to make Kagome fight. She must have gotten a deal with him to change Inuyasha. But why? What was she thinking? Sango thought. But she shook her head. All she knew was, to break the deal she would have to kill Naraku. She grabbed her boomerang and ran towards Naraku, ready to throw. But Kagura landed in front of her with a smirk. "Ready for a rematch?" Sango asked with a smile. Kagura pulled out her fan as her answer.
Inuyasha dove for Kagome's throat, but Kagome dodged in a flash. She shot a Wind Scar at him, but he was too quick. He always went for her throat, as canines do to bring down their enemies the quickest. Kagome knew that the Demon Inuyasha never used any special attacks. He always used force to win and that usually worked. As Kagome jumped back to avoid an Attack, He caught her across the stomach. Thinking fast, she pushed her hand into the wound, and yelled "Blades of Blood!" It Hit Inuyasha and flung him back a yard or so. But the adrenalin that was pumping through Inuyasha got him back to his feet. I can't kill him, I must not kill him! Kagome thought to herself.
Sango and Kagura stared each other down. Starting off the fight, Sango threw her boomerang at Kagura, but she easily dodged it. "You are still to weak from the last time I fought you." Kagura commented. "I'm never to weak to kick your ass!" Sango yelled, throwing the boomerang once again. Kagura jumped, but it caught her leg, knocking her to the ground. "I bet you don't even understand what is going on here you stupid wench." Kagura shot. Sango could not say anything. She didn't fully understand, but she wouldn't let Kagura know that. "Stupid Kagome, fell for another of Naraku's tricks." Kagura said, almost to herself. "Another trick?" Sango asked in curiosity. "What? You haven't figured it out? The Tishma was all Naraku's doing. Kagome wouldn't know how to fight, and Inuyasha would be nothing but a human." Kagura said, almost shocked. "But the Tishma grants the hearts desire. How did Naraku know?" Sango shot. "All Naraku does is study his enemy. He knew what Kagome wanted. But that day you came to the castle, Naraku thought she might be useful. He called me weak!" She said, anger on her face. Naraku had planned it all from the beginning! We were nothing but puppets to him! Sango yelled in her mind. With all her anger she threw her boomerang, catching Kagura off guard in her thoughts. Kagura coughed up some blood, then remained still. Sango knew she had won.
Inuyasha stilled attacked with out showing any sign of relent. When he attacked, she dodged. When she attacked, He dodged. They got a hit on each other once in a while, but nothing severe. They both stared at each other, breathing hard. Inuyasha dove at her, but Kagome yelled "SIT!" pulling him to the ground. Inuyasha only shock off the dirt and glared at her. She remembered seeing love in his eyes before. He wound never admit to it though. His eyes were what drove her mad for him. So caring, but also had pain. She had seen the pain in his eyes when she had walked out. She saw how much she had hurt him by just walking onto the field. But then drawing her sword to fight. The tears came back, slowly and painfully. She was so wound up in her thoughts she didn't see Inuyasha come at her and knocking her to the ground. He then came back for the finishing kill. Kagome did the only thing she could think of, She shoved her sword forward, going strait through him. She watched as his eyes turned back to normal and the marks went away. The shock in his eyes would make anyone cry their heart out. He fell forward into her arms and laid still. Kagome held him close as stroked his silver hair. Her tears fell into his hair as she sat there. "I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry…. I'm so sorry…" She repeated, rocking him back and forth. But as she sat there she felt a sharp pain go through her chest. She looked down and saw an arrow piercing through her chest. She turned and saw Naraku Holding a bow. She also saw Sango at his feet with four arrows going through her. "You are of no use to me Kagome." He said to her. He turned to walk away when someone yelled, "Dance of Blades!" Naraku stopped and turned to see Kagura standing. "Die…you…Bastard/" were her last words as she fell to the ground dead. Naraku started pouring out blood and fell into pieces from were Kagura's blades had hit him. Kagome felt a smile come over her face. Naraku was dead! He was finally dead and everyone can be happy. She then felt something roll into her leg. She saw it was the jewel. She pulled out her shards and put them with the jewel, completing it. If she wished for none of this to Happen Naraku would come back. She thought for a moment and decided. "I wish for my true hearts desire to be granted." She whispered, loosing her strength. Then a bright light flashed and she felt her body grow warm. She then closed her eyes and fell asleep. She trusted her heart to make the right decision.
"Don't leave Kagome!" Inuyasha begged. "I need to Inuyasha! I've got a test and I haven't seen my family in forever!" Kagome said standing next to the well. "But we haven't gone to see Sango and Miroku! They just had their baby!" Inuyasha said. "Well I haven't seen my family in forever! Why don't you come?" She told him with a smile. "Feh!" he said, turning around. Kagome only smiled. She would have to tell him one day. Her feelings can't stay bottled up forever. But she'll just enjoy it like it is for now and chose when the time was right. "One more day away wont kill me." She said walking over. "Really?" He asked his ears perking up. Kagome took his hand and said "Really. Now lets go see Miroku and Sango." She said pulling him along. They then walked side by side towards Miroku and Sango's village.
