Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, Kagome, Miroku, or anyone else except Raiku, Yume, and Ty…because they are my characters. -.-
Sorry I had to delete my other story but it was going nowhere so yeah…besides, I thought up of something better… -.-
The wind picked up and filled the eerie silence with a hollow blowing. The open field behind a huge stone castle showed no sign of life even though the whole group was waiting for Naraku to find them any minute. Kagome shook her head and gazed up at the castle. "It's way too quiet."
InuYasha looked around impatiently. "You're right."
Sango and Miroku on Kirara circled overhead, searching for a sign of Naraku or Kagura or any other demons. "You're sure the aura is here, Miroku?" Sango asked questioningly.
"Yes, it's strongest here than over there at the castle." Miroku answered. "Besides, this is where Kagome senses the jewel shards." Sango nodded and kept searching. Miroku called down to Kagome. "Kagome, the presence of the jewel still strong?"
Kagome nodded up to him. "It' here, I know it!" But as seconds had turned into minutes that turned into hours since they arrived, she had started to doubt herself.
Rustling trees and snapping twigs made InuYasha, Kagome and shippo turn around. InuYasha whipped out the Tetsusaiga form it's sheath. Out of the trees behind them, Kagura, Naraku, and Kanna shot out from on top of Kagura's feather. Naraku hoped off, just himself, no costume or demon puppet. Kagome could tell it was the real him; he had the sacred jewel shards. Kagura and Kanna landed swiftly on the ground in front of Kirara and Miroku and Sango. Kirara growled at Kanna.
Naraku laughed evilly. (Yami: luv the evil laughs…. Hehe) "InuYasha. Kagome. All of you. You all think that this is the day you will finally defeat me. If you really think that, you are sadly mistaken."
Kagome shot an arrow the missed his face by a matter of inches and got ready another arrow. "Wanna bet?"
"Careful." InuYasha warned. "Once this battle starts, I won't be able to protect you as much."
"Don't you worry about me. I've been waiting for this."
Naraku laughed at this comment. "You seem sure of yourself, Kagome."
Kagome shot another arrow but Naraku jumped out of the way. Revenge, Kagome thought. Revenge for Yume…
Naraku ripped off his sleeve and his shoulder shot out a twisted root that headed straight for Kagome. She tried to shoot but wasn't quick enough. Before it had time to reach her, InuYasha chopped the root in half. "Roots, Naraku? Is that you came armed with?" InuYasha asked menacingly. "You're pathetic."
"Know that I have no desire to get rid of you. My target is her and those jewel shards." Naraku pulled out a long sword that had a purple tint to it and miasma flowed around it. He pointed the sword at Kagome. "It's you that I'm after."
InuYasha growled at him.
"Psh! That's what I was going to say Naraku. You're gonna pay." Kagome yelled at him. InuYasha knew instantly what she was talking about. Sango asked Miroku, "What's she talking about?"
"Yume. Kagome wants to avenge her daughter's death."
Flashback
"Take this Naraku!" Kagome pulls back an arrow wincing as her shoulder throbs. "Naraku, die!"
Kagome let's go and the arrow heads straight for him. As the arrow hit's him, a shriek of pain is heard, but not from Naraku. Kagome looks down, horrified. "Y-Yume!"
"Naraku's poisonous miasma roots!" Miroku says.
One of his roots went through Yume's chest, right below her neck. Yume drops to her knees and falls forward blood spilling over the floor.
InuYasha and Kouga are frozen to the spot. Sango covers her mouth to keep form screaming. It takes a few seconds for Kagome to react.
"Yume!"
Naraku snickers. Kagura can't believe he did this.
InuYasha looks away sickened.
Kagome drops her bow and runs to Yume and sis her up. Yume's eyes are half closed. She manages to say something weakly. "M-M-Mommy…."
Kagome's face is already tear-stained. "What? What's wrong?"
"Am I gonna die?"
"No! No! I'll save you."
"H-How?"
"I don't know!"
"I love you too. I love you a lot."
"I do too. You're my daughter."
"I'm glad you said that. I do too." Yume's eyes closed and her breathing stopped.
"No, wait! Yume!" Kagome hugs Yume and sobs.
Naraku seems very happy with what he's done. He snickers loudly.
InuYasha is suddenly overcome with rage. "Naraku. You are dead."
"No." Kagome utters silently. "He's mine." Kagome gently sets down a now lifeless Yume and picks up an arrow. Naraku laughs again. "And what do you think you're gonna do?"
"Kill you. Revenge for Yume."
"Oh? You'll avenge your daughter's death. You better find someone to avenge yours." A sudden root escapes from under Naraku and tries to go through Kagome's shoulder again. The cloth from Yume sent the root back at Naraku.
"Nice try."
Naraku looks shocked. "How did that happen?" This thought distracted Naraku from Kagome running up to him and piercing him with the arrow.
"Kagome! Get back!"
"No InuYasha! I know what I'm doing."
A burst of light came form the arrow blinding both Naraku and Kagome. The burst of energy sent her back flying into InuYasha. InuYasha sat up and helped Kagome to her feet. The light blinded them for a second. When the light subsided, Naraku, Kagura, and Kanna, were gone. Kagome got up and ran over to Yume who was losing a lot of blood. Kagome unwrapped the cloth and put it over Yume's wound. Miroku looked up then sorrowfully looked back down. Kouga sniffed the air.
"Don't bother." InuYasha said quietly enough for Kouga to hear.
Kagome started to cry again. "InuYasha! Miroku…"
Miroku looked up.
"You guys, is she dead?"
The boys didn't say anything.
"By not saying anything will tell me too."
Miroku nods. "Yes Kagome. There's nothing we can do now."
Kagome buries her face in Yume's hair and starts to sob uncontrollably. "I swear, I'll get revenge for you."
End of Flashback
Kagome pulls another arrow form her quiver. "And I always keep my promises."
Naraku growled and slashed the air with the sword.
Kagome pulled back the arrow. "Naraku, you're dead!"
I never could have seen this far
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my world's fallin' apart
Yeah
Why is everything so hard
I don't think I can deal with
The things you said
They just won't go away
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Because I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Yeah
Without you I just can't fund my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Because I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Yeah
Without you I just can't fund my way
