Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or anyone else except my characters…although InuYasha is currently residing in my basement -.-
InuYasha looked up to the sword still hovering in the air entangled in the long root. "Kagome, see of you can hit that sword. He used it last time and I think you know what'll happen." Kagome sighed and looked down at the ground. "It's too high, I've never hit anything that high before."
Indeed it was high, higher than one hundred feet in the air. "It isn't that high, you can do it." InuYasha assured her. Kagome sighed and pulled yet another arrow. "This is my last one."
"You can do it." InuYasha repeated.
Kagome nodded confidently and pulled back her arrow and bow string. "If you say so."
"I'm not gonna lie to you."
Naraku chuckled. "That half-demon doesn't know what he's talking about."
InuYasha scoffed. "Really? That's what I was gonna say to you."
Kagome continued to pull on the bowstring. "I don't think it will go any farther."
"Keep going Kagome." InuYasha told her.
Kagome sighed shaking her head and kept pulling. The whole bow was shaking and Kagome didn't think she would hit it. It's shaking too much. No, I'm shaking too much!
Kagome aimed for the sword and kept pulling back, the arrow feathers slipping in her sweaty palm. "InuYasha, help me." InuYasha got in back of her and looked up. She is going to hit; there was no mistake. Kagome glanced back and then up at the sword, still wavering in the air. "It can go back farther, help me!"
InuYasha grabbed right hand and pulled down with it. "Alright, I got ya."
The tip of the arrow had passed the wooden bow. Kagome had to do her best to aim the arrow without using the bow. "InuYasha let go!" At the same time, Kagome and InuYasha let go of the arrow and it unfortunately the tip of the arrow hit the bow and bounced to the ground. Kagome picked up the arrow, frustrated.
"Damn it." InuYasha cursed.
Kagome readied the bow again. "Lets try it again."
Sango sat down, defeated, on Kirara. "I missed."
"It wouldn't have happened if Kagura hadn't stepped in."
Sango sighed and turned to Miroku. "Yeah, maybe, but if she hadn't Naraku would have killed her."
"And? What do we need Kagura for anyway?" Miroku asked, confused.
"We need all the help we can get. And Kagura really wants him to die."
Miroku peered down at Naraku who was absently waving he sword in the air. Sango followed his gaze and then down the root to the ground. InuYasha and Kagome were trying for a third time to get the arrow to hit. Sango looked up at the sword. They were already high enough but the sword was several feet above them.
"Alright, let's try one more time." Kagome pulled her bow up and pointed it at the sword.
Naraku laughed. "Hurry up because time is running out." Right after Naraku finished, the sword automatically started to give off miasma fumes. Sango and Miroku covered their mouths and started coughing.
"Hurry up, InuYasha." Kagome pulled back on the arrow, InuYasha behind her helping. "This is our least shot and my only arrow. Let's hit it this time."
"Gotcha ya."
"One, two…three!" At the same time, they both let go and this time the arrow sailed up in the air and the bowstring snapped. Kagome kept her eye on the arrow as it swerved to the right and hit the end of the root, missing the sword completely. Naraku stared open mouthed but then hissed. "Curse you damn fools."
Kagome tossed the now useless bow to the ground. The sword landed in front of them, the miasma fumes still rising. Kagome held her breath and lightly touched the tip of the blade, the miasma disappearing completely. InuYasha picked up the sword and examined the blade. Almost immediately the sword reacted by his touch and gave off sparks around the handle. InuYasha thrust the blade to the ground and grabbed his hand with the other one.
"What the hell…?" His hand was slightly burned by the sparks. "Alright, now I'm done." InuYasha picked up his own sword.
"Try it." Naraku brought down the root towards InuYasha. He jumped out of the way and rushed towards Naraku. "You're dead! Wind Scar!" InuYasha raised the sword above his head and brought it down as a powerful Kaze no Kizu escaped form within the blade. Naraku didn't even try to move. The Kaze no Kizu hit with full force against the half demon, blowing him away.
Kirara landed and Miroku and Sango jumped off quickly. Kagome with Shippo in her arms, rushed up beside InuYasha. "What happened?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out."
When the dust cleared, Kagura and Kanna stared blankly at the spot where Naraku had stood. Naraku had literally disappeared.
Breakdown
I can't take this
I need somewhere to go
I need you
I'm so restless
I don't know what to do
Cause we've had a rough times
From fighting all night
And now you're just slipping away
So just give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say:
Don't, don't, don't walk away
I promise
I won't let you down (you down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
We'll be just fine, this time
If you take my hand tonight
If you take my hand tonight
(Simple Plan; Promise)
