Demon-Slayer13- Yay, for speedy updates! And Kagura! She rocks! She's one of my fave "sort-of" villains, cuz she really wants to kill Naraku. Grr, curse that demon! I'm glad you loved the chapter! I did, too! Heh, I'm being so modest. laughs
Story Weaver1- I know, Kouga's not really an idiot, but he can act a bit dense at times, don't you think? Heh, we still love him, though! I haven't lost my mind fully. Yet... (Tee hee) Glad you liked the wolves scene!
JewelHottie- I'm glad you're reading my story! New reviewer! Yay! I always welcome new reviewers! Sorry about the cliff-hanger. But I had to. It was a must. It just begged me to. Anyways, here's the chapter you were waiting for!

Kagura led InuYasha down the hallway; he was grinning ear to ear. Kagome smiled herself; she was so happy to see him happy. Then Kanna appeared.
"Damn," Kagura muttered and shoved Kagome into InuYasha - who carried Kikyou on his back - and they all fell into an empty room.
Kanna walked past Kagura with her mirror and said nothing. When she passed out of sight, Kagura sighed in relief and told Kagome and InuYasha it was safe to come out. "Naraku should be up ahead. I remember finding him by accident..." she shivered at the thought and closed her eyes, pushing it out of her mind. "This is it..." she whispered as they came upon a trap door in the wooden floor paneling. She reached for the latch and tried it. It wasn't locked.
"I'll take it from here." InuYasha said. "And thanks, Kagura." he added. "But if you are planning some sort of trick or ambush, I will kill you, ya hear me?"
Kagura nodded. "I understand. But I plan no such thing, unless Naraku sees this and backfires it." she said as InuYasha opened the trap doors.
Immediately, a tentacle came flying out of no where and struck InuYasha on the head.
"InuYasha." It was Naraku. "I see you have tried to attack me when I should least expect it. But actually, I could expect something like this to happen. Many would try and attack their enemies when the enemy was at their weakest stage, would they not?" Naraku seemed very amused with himself. Then he noticed her. "Ah, Kagome. I see you have come, too. And Kikyou, InuYasha saved you, I see."
InuYasha took Kikyou off his back carefully and she leaned against a wall for support.
"Kikyou, you're very vulnerable without your soul stealers."
"Go to hell, Naraku!" InuYasha growled.
"Must you always be vulgar, InuYasha?" Naraku chuckled.
"I said, damn it, go to hell!" InuYasha grabbed Tetsusaiga. "We've wasted too much time already! Now DIE!" He slashed at the air in front of him and there was a large cloud of smoke surrounding the cellar. They couldn't see a thing. Then InuYasha cried out as another tentacle sliced at him and made a very large gash in his stomach. "Damn...y-you..." he gasped.
Kagome cried out and began to transform, when Kikyou placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her head. Very reluctantly, the hanyou girl retreated back a few steps and the priestess pulled out her bow and placed an arrow in the quiver. She released it and as it sped through the air, it purified with Kikyou's mystical powers and glowed a very bright pink and it disappeared in the smoke. Naraku crying out painfully indicated that her arrow hit him directly.
I'll get rid of you, Kikyou...
Kikyou soon found herself suspended in mid-air with several tentacles wrapped around her, but she didn't struggle. She just stared into the subsiding smoke calmly, but with hatred towards the demon.
"Kikyou!" InuYasha called hoarsely.
"I'm fine, InuYasha." she reassured him as he tried to reach out to her.
Up above with Kagome and Kagura, the wind mistress retreated in fear.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Kagome asked furiously.
"I'm going to find someone that might be able to kill Naraku. I need to find Sesshoumaru!" Kagura breathed and disappeared outside the fortress.
"Please hurry..." Kagome whispered.
Before InuYasha might...
No.
She shook that thought from her mind before it went any farther. Must not think that far ahead... Don't think of the possible consequences...
Kagura pulled out her feather from her tight bun and settled quickly in the giant feather. She flew towards the western lands. There, she would find Lord Sesshoumaru... He is the only other one who can kill the bastard Naraku.
"Kouga!" Ayame and Kouga both jumped slightly, because the old wolf had been quiet for a while. "Is it true, what I heard what my Ayame told me? You are engaged to a miko? I believe that is not possible, for I know this miko. She is the reincarnation of the great priestess, Kikyou. And Kikyou was that half-dog-demon, InuYasha's lover. That would most likely mean that this new miko, Kagome, I believe, loves InuYasha also. And I find it hard to marry a woman when she is in love with another man, would you not, Kouga?"
"Listen, I make my decision on who I want to marry!" Kouga snapped.
The old wolf was silent.
Ayame was as well. Tears shined in her eyes and she clutched her chest as she wrapped her furs around her warmly.
"Kouga-kun... You jerk! I hate you! How dare you say that! I hate you, and yet I still love you! Do not backtalk to my grandfather! He is a wise, wonderful old wolf, and I love him! Respect your elders! Now what do you have to say to yourself?" The female wolf snapped. That you love me and you will marry me, but she didn't say so aloud.
Kouga bit his lip and glared.
"I..." He began, but stopped as he noticed the sky beginning to darken. Kouga growled low in his throat. "Naraku..." he hissed.
"Naraku? Isn't that the demon who makes everyone's lives miserable?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah, it is. That bastard. His incarnation killed all of my wolves... I've yet to make him pay."
"Kouga, I...I'm so sorry..." Ayame started.
"I'm going to kill him. Today." Kouga stated and stood up to leave.
"Wait! I'm coming with you!" Ayame cried and ran after him. "You're going to need help. He is the most powerful demon around, isn't he?"
"Fine. But if you fall behind, I might not wait for you." Kouga mumbled.
"Of course," Ayame said as they took off in the direction of the darknening sky.
"Kagura." Sesshoumaru said as the wind mistress stepped in front of him. He began to reach for his sword, but Kagura stopped him.
"I'm flattered you remember me. But I'm not here to fight you. Instead, I want to make a bargain. Help me out and we can kill Naraku." Kagura began.
Sesshoumaru glanced at her. "Why would I help you?" he sneered.
"Don't be so cold. And if you were wondering, this isn't some sort of trick. I just need help to kill that bastard. You're the only other one who can do it."
The inu-youkai lord of the west lands stared at her with no expression on his face, no sympathy, nothing. His toadish minion, Jaken, appeared at his feet.
"My lord! It's that witch! What's she doing here?" he cried and Kagura glared at him. Jaken received a foot to his face from Sesshoumaru.
Then he turned to the wind mistress once more. "What is in it for me?" he asked. Kagura grinned.
"The place as the most powerful demon alive." she said. "And that's you."
Where was Kagura? She was taking too long. Kagome couldn't take it; she transformed into her inu-hanyou form and started for Naraku.
"Kagome! You're not strong enough! Don't even think about trying to attack!" InuYasha yelled. "You're an idiot if you think you can!" I just don't want you hurt...
Kagome scowled and looked at the discarded bow and arrow Kikyou had. She took it and aimed the purified arrow into the smog; the miko hanyou released the purified arrow and it disappeared into the cellar. She sighed; it had missed. Kagome would never be as good at archery like Kikyou...
"KAGOME!"
Kagome turned around and a tentacle came flying at her. She cried out and jumped away with ease. "That could've killed me!" she muttered to herself. "I've gotta be more careful..."
"Girl, give me my bow and arrow! Quick!" Kikyou exclaimed and Kagome hurriedly threw her the weapons.
The priestess shot many purified arrows at Naraku and burned most of the tentacles until she and InuYasha were free.
"Thanks, Kikyou. I owe you!" InuYasha grinned and hacked at Naraku. Another tentacle lost.
Then out of no where, two figures appeared and were attacking Naraku, but not very effectively. Kagome was very shocked to find it was Yumi and Kei. "Yumi? Kei? What are you two doing? You might get killed!"
"Well, we heard that you were trying to defeat Naraku!" Yumi gasped as Naraku swiped at her.
"And we decided that we should come and help you!" Kei finished as she clawed at the tentacles.
"You can't beat me! I am Naraku, the most powerful demon!" He growled and acid flew out at Yumi and Kei. They screamed in pain and Kagome rushed them out of the cellar.
"Damn you! Why don't you just die?" InuYasha hissed as he attempted to hit Naraku with his Wind Scar, but it was useless.
"Poor InuYasha. You just won't learn, will you?" Naraku smirked and flung InuYasha into the wall, and rammed up against him. "Now die, you filthy half-breed!"
"Don't...call...me...a HALF-BREED!" InuYasha yelled and tried to break free.
Naraku howled in pain as Kikyou shot another purified arrow at him.
Meanwhile, Kagome was watching over Yumi and Kei up above.
"I told you it was too dangerous!" she scolded.
"S-sorry..." they choked and moaned, "Oh, it burns..."
"Yumi-chan!" A boy's voice cried out, making the kitsune girl freeze in her spot.
It couldn't be... He was supposed to be dead... It was! It was Yumi's brother! But, didn't he die? Yumi wondered to herself.
Kyou came running to her and hugged her tightly. "Oh, it's so good to see you, Yumi-chan! I've been wondering how you've been!" he gasped excitedly.
"But, Kyou-kun...I thought you had..." she couldn't finish her sentence. Kyou shook his head.
"I thought I was going to die. I'm surprised that when my wrist was slit, I didn't die from blood loss!" he laughed uncertainly. "But all that matters is that I'm here."
"Oh, Kyou-kun! I love you so much!" Yumi whispered. "Oh, this is Kagome. She's taking care of me."
"I can take it from here, miss. Thank you for watching over my sister." Kyou said, and sat down next to Yumi and Kei. The two siblings began to catch up on each other's lives. Kagome wondered what Kei was thinking. She hadn't seen her little sister for ages. Kagome couldn't bear to think she might have died.
"Don't worry, Kagome, I can handle this bastard, Naraku." Kagome turned around. No. Not him. Not now! Yes, it was him. And she was accompanying him as well.
Kouga and Ayame sped towards the cellar and began to attack Naraku. Only then did the wolf and the inu-hanyou notice each other...
"Who says you're going to kill Naraku! I'm the only one that's going to be doing that!" InuYasha and Kouga yelled at each other.
"Guys, don't worry about it!" Ayame and Kagome sighed.
The two male demons growled at each other, then turned their backs as Naraku came lunging at them. InuYasha then tripped Kouga, who fell flat on his back, and the inu-hanyou leapt away.
"Look out!" Ayame cried. "Kougaaaa!" she began to run towards him, but Kagome held her back. "I have to save him!" Finally, she broke free and ran in front of Kouga, her arms extended.
"AYAME!" Kagome shrieked.
"Ayame..." Kouga gasped breathlessly. Ayame cringed in her spot, but she didn't move as Naraku drew closer.
"I love you, Kouga!" she cried.
"Ayame, I..." Kouga paused as he looked up at her where he lay. "I love you, too."
"Oh, Kouga...you do? I'm so happy. At least we can be happy with each other if we both die," Ayame said, her eyes brimming with tears.
Then a gust of wind blew out and blocked Naraku's attack.
Everyone looked up and saw Kagura and Sesshoumaru approaching. Sesshoumaru leapt forward with his sword extended and attacked Naraku. The enemy demon knocked it away with ease, surprising everyone, for that was Sesshoumaru's most powerful sword, with the exception of Tenseiga.
I wonder where Sango and Miroku are... I just hope they're far from here. I don't want them getting hurt by Naraku... Kagome wondered to herself.
"Kagome, watch out!" Ayame cried and the girl slowly turned her head, which collided with a huge tentacle that sent her flying. She hit her head against the wall and everything blacked out. The last thing she heard was InuYasha crying her name, and "please don't die on me..."
