Kagome's POV :
It was over finally. Our little group had been hunting shards for almost four years now. Soon we had all of the remaining shards all but Naraku's half and the one shard in Kohaku's back. The battle was long it felt like I had been fighting for days now. Yes, I was fighting. After I got Inuyasha's older brother to help us in the epic battle he said yes but in only one condition. Which was that I had to learn to fight from him. I learned how to use all sorts of weapons. I became strong. For all of his help I gave him back his arm that he lost to Inuyasha the first time that I saw him.
We had become good friends. Kouga and his tribe also were there to help in the battle. Also many humans were there to help in the battle. Everyone that we had helped in our journey was there to repay his or her depts.
I am happy the battle is over with but yet I haven't said the bad news. No one ever wants to hear the bad news. I didn't want to hear the bad news. During the battle I could see it all. I saw it all. But yet I blocked it all out so I was able to finish off Naraku.
I had been injured badly with a gash to my side. Funny it was the same side that the Jewel was ripped out of. I had many cuts, deep cuts. My head was cracked open I could feel it. Right above my hairline blood began to run down. It smudged into my left eye. In one quick motion I wiped it away. I had to keep moving so that the blood loss wouldn't get to me. I had a long slash down my back from a sword of a demon.
I don't think I could have made it, if it weren't for Sesshomaru's help. He was always their when I was about to receive the final blow. Whenever I got the chance I would look out and around to catch a glimpse of the battle and my friends. I saw Sango on the ground holding her brother. They were dead a spear was stabbed throw both of them. Miroku was lying against a tree with a sword in his heart. Ginta and Hakkaku had met the same fait as many of their tribe members. Their lifeless bodies were on the ground because of Naraku's tentacles hand went throw their stomachs.
At the time I did not register all of their deaths. Kikyou was already dead because I set her free. Inuyasha was there he had told her that he would join her soon. It hurt so much to hear him say that. But my heart had found a way to get over it. I knew we could only be as much as brother and sister. After all he loved her.
The battle was long and lasted for almost a day. The ending had come when Inuyasha fell. I still can see it.
Flash back:
Screams of pain could be heard over the battlefield as Naraku's tentacle went throw Inuyasha's heart. My eyes couldn't move from his falling form. They followed him until his body hit the ground with a loud thump. All of the sudden I could feel my powers screaming to be released. So that they could finally kill that bastard for all of the pain that he has caused.
Charging forward I pushed my powers into my sword. Making it turn a bright purple tent. Naraku was to busy laughing that hideous laughing that annoyed the hell out of me. It was all but to late for him when he finally turned to see my sword drive into his black heart.
His eyes grew wide in shock and horror. I pushed my energy all into killing him. Bright light was all that could be seen in the middle of the battlefield many demons had jumped back, afraid that they to would be purified. All of Naraku's demons began to turn to ash.
As soon as the light was gone. Kagome could be seen standing in the middle of the clearing with her sword at her side hanging limply. Her head cast to the sky, eyes closed, and one single tear that fell from her eyes. Screams and shouts could be heard. " We won Naraku is dead!"
End flashback:
Yes we won but at the cost of many lives. But also my innocence. Sesshomaru had taken me to a tent that had been put up for all of the injured. There I was bandaged up and the Jewel was yet again placed into my side. It is there that I lost all of my heart and soul when I found out about all of my comrades. I could feel it shatter into many tiny pieces. Pieces that I could never place together again.
A solider came in to report all the wounded and dead. It is than that I saw my adoptive son dead body on the healing bed in the corner near me. They told me that in the battle he had tried to come and tell the men that Sesshomaru's castle was being attacked. That Rin was in danger. He was killed by a stray demon. So was the fire neko of Sango's. She had tried to stop the demon from killing him but in the processes was killed to.
Now here I am sitting still on the healing bed staring into nothingness. My soul shattered, my heart aching. I could feel Sesshomaru's eyes on me, watching me to see if I was all right.
"Kagome after you have rested I need to speak to you." With one more glance he left me. I felt the need to get up to leave this place. All I knew is that I wanted this pain to stop. I wanted it to all go away. This was my entire fault I never should have stayed in this time. I should have left and never have come back. Than I wouldn't have shattered the Jewel than Inuyasha and everyone that I care for would be alive.
I stepped off of the bed and walked out of the tent. Many soldiers that walked by bowed their heads to me. It bothered me that they did that. It was because I had earned their respect and loyalty that they did that. I earned nothing. I was the cause of all this bloody battle.
So I walked away from the tent and made sure to hide my sent and aura, something that the great Lord himself taught me. I am sorry Sesshomaru that you wont get to talk to me like you planed, this is after all for the best. With that as my last thought I began to walk away from everything leaving no trail that I ever left. I walked through the forest to my destination the bone eaters well. I would not stop to say my farewell to Kaede. I would not stop to rest even if my body screamed for it.
All I wanted was to leave. Once I was in my time I sealed the well so that no one would know of it. After my entire secret had died with my group. Turning on my heals I walked towards my house. I am home. No my real Home not the home with demons and fighting. But home to a human world.
Well that is the end of the chapter. I hope you like. Next chapter will be in the POV of one of the YYH group. I don't know who yet. Also I don't know what the pairing is either so if you want you can drop a hint to me. After all the author has to please their captive listeners. For some reason that sounds wrong. But thank you for reading so far. Please Review!
