Chapter 14
Time to Die
"Are you two ready to die now?" Naraku said happily after telling the two that time was up; it was time to die.
"There is no way in hell I am going to let you kill me or Kagome Naraku!" InuYasha snarled, standing up with the help of Kagome. Naraku smirked before flying foreword, right into InuYasha and throwing him back. A cry of pain slipped from InuYasha's lips as he hit the tree behind him.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, trying to keep herself from rushing to him.
InuYasha I hope your plan works...
Kagome prayed as she turned and sprinted into the woods.
"Oh no you don't," came Naraku's voice. Kagome glanced behind her to see Naraku zooming toward her, the usual evil grin plastered across his face.
"Kagome duck!" roared InuYasha's voice and Kagome willed herself to fall to the ground. A loud rushing sound, the sound a train or a tornado makes, became louder and louder in Kagome's ears as strong winds whipped her dirty black hair back and forth.
"Wind Scar!" came a faint voice as the wind whipped faster and the sound grew louder.
What's going on?
"Are you two ready to die now?" Naraku said, seeming to be quite happy with himself after telling the two that time was up; it was time to die.
"There is no way in hell I am going to let you kill me or Kagome Naraku!" InuYasha snarled, standing up. He started to fall back down but Kagome rushed to his rescue and held him up from behind. Naraku smirked at the two before flying foreword, right into InuYasha and throwing him back.
"Argh!" InuYasha cried in pain upon impact.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried. She looked as if she wanted to rush over to his side and help him up.
Stay there Kagome... you have to ignore me or the plan will fail and... We'll die.
InuYasha thought and he smirked softly as Kagome turned and darted away into the woods. Naraku jumped into the air slightly, so that he was hovering gently above the ground.
"Oh no you don't!" he cried after her before zooming into the forest in the direction Kagome had headed.
"Feh. Fool," InuYasha murmured softly, standing up. Trying not to move too much but trying to go as fast as he could, he turned around and reached into the deep hole he had caused in the tree. His hand felt around in the darkness before landing on something smooth and hard.
"Ha..." InuYasha pulled the object down and glanced at it, smiling at the object triumphantly. The sword in his hands glinted dangerously in the sunlight despite its rust and dirt that covered it.
"Thanks Dad... you've saved my life..." InuYasha murmured as he turned and raced off as fast as he could after Naraku and Kagome.
I'm coming Kagome. It's working. We're going to live this out. I promise.
As soon as InuYasha caught sight of Naraku, who was still after the injured Kagome, InuYasha raised the sword above his head. A flash of golden light surrounded the sword as it transformed into a magnificent fang and InuYasha smirked wickedly.
"Kagome duck!" he screamed as he brought the sword down behind Naraku's body. As soon as the blade was brought down, a great flash of light shinned again and golden blades of energy shot out. The sound was practically deafening for InuYasha, sounding much like a train or tornado, billowing down on it's target.
InuYasha didn't have time to make sure Kagome ducked before calling out, "Wind Scar!" and letting the true power escape from the sword.
Die Naraku!
After a moment, the rushing winds died down and Kagome peeked her head up from the dirt. A large hole had been where she had last seen Naraku and quite a few trees were missing too.
Is... Is he dead?
Kagome thought.
"Kagome, are you alright?" came InuYasha's voice and Kagome's head snapped behind her. There he was, her knight in shinning armor, leaning against a rusty old sword and breathing heavily. He looked horrible, dust and dirt riding his hair of its usual shine and blood was splattered all over his clothes. But his usual smirk, the one that outshined the sun, was still there, bearing down on her. Suddenly, with a small gasp, he collapsed to the ground.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, jumping up and rushing to him. "Are you okay? What happened? Where's Naraku? What was that noise? Where'd the sword come from? Why-" InuYasha placed a single, slim finger on Kagome's lips to silence her.
"Be quiet will ya?" he asked. Kagome shut her mouth before helping him sit up against a tree.
"As I was saying," he coughed. "Be quiet. You're giving me a headache and you're hurting my ears." Kagome smiled, tears beginning to well up before they spilled over her eye lids, falling down her cheeks. She laughed softly before throwing her arms around InuYasha who blushed brightly. Kagome buried her nose in the crook of his neck.
"Thank you..." she murmured softly. "Thank you."
InuYasha wrapped his arms around Kagome, holding her close to him and Kagome could hear his heart beating softly.
Really InuYasha... thank you.
After a moment, the rushing winds and blades of energy disappeared and the dust that had been riled up died down. InuYasha, wasted of his energy, leaned against the sword that had returned to it's rusty form and closed his eyes, breathing deeply.
Opening his eyes, he glanced downward to see Kagome, sprawled on the ground. If she hadn't moved a moment later, InuYasha would have thought he killed her.
Kagome lifted her head and seemed to look around.
"Kagome, are you alright?" InuYasha asked, still worried that he had accidentally hurt her. At the sound of his voice Kagome's head whipped around and focused on InuYasha.
Kagome smiled at him and he felt as if he were in the presence of a goddess. Her hair, even though it was tousled and covered in dirt, fell along her slender back. Her deep, chocolate brown eyes looked at him as if they could see his soul and more. But even though she was dirty, blood running along her leg, and in a gaudy purple dress, her smile continued to shine like the sun and melted away the pain and cold that had filled him.
Suddenly, the pain filled his side and he gasped softly as he collapsed to the ground.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, jumping up and rushing to him. "Are you okay? What happened? Where's Naraku? What was that noise? Where'd the sword come from? Why-" InuYasha placed a single, slim finger on Kagome's lips to silence her.
"Be quiet will ya?" he asked and Kagome quickly shut her trap. She reached out tenderly and helped him sit up against a tree.
"As I was saying," he coughed, barely able to talk. "Be quiet. You're giving me a headache and you're hurting my ears." Kagome smiled, tears welling up before they spilled over her eye lids, falling down her cheeks. She laughed softly and threw her arms around InuYasha who blushed brightly.
Ka-Kagome?
Kagome buried her nose in the crook of his neck.
"Thank you..." she murmured softly. "Thank you."
InuYasha wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him.
You're welcome Kagome.
