Sango and Miroku regained their strength as Kagura and Kanna appeared. Suddenly Sesshomaru was at the scene as well. Kagome glanced around. Was this the welcoming committee or something? Sango stood with her sword in her hand. "I'll never forgive you…for what you have done!" Sango yelled as she charged forwards stabbing the sword into Naraku's arm.
"The battle sounds incredibly tense up there, I hope Sesshomaru is safe." Rin gazed at Jaken. They were both waiting for the return of him a few metres below the cliff edge where it was safer.
"Idiot!" Naraku shouted as he tossed Sango aside. It was the most powerful thrust ever as she was thrown over the cliff edge. Miroku sat up alert.
"Sango!" They all cried charging towards the cliff edge to save her. She fell over the edge screaming as she fell into the depths of the mountain. Naraku captured the rest of the group.
"Where do you think you're going? The fun has just begun." Naraku laughed as he pulled the rest back.
"SANGO!" Miroku cried as he was pulled away from her; never to meet again. Sesshomaru joined the fight battling with all of his strength.
"Kagura." Naraku called. "Go and find Sango. Make sure she won't come back." Kagura made a slight bow and went her way.
It became a scene of blood. Looking at the results, it appeared that no one was winning. Miroku's attention was caught by the return of Kagura. He waited for the answer. "My lord, she is no harm to us now. Unfortunately for her pathetic friends…she's dead." Kagura explained in blunt words adding evil laughter to the end. Miroku and the others looked horrified. Their friend-companion; trustworthy and so kind was gone…forever. Miroku screamed in anger; he demanded revenge. He no longer cared what would happen to him.
"Kazaana!" Miroku shouted as he attempted to suck Naraku into his air void to save his sister's life. Hotaru pitied her brother; all the pain he was going through; she felt bad to sit and watch.
"Kaze no kizu!" InuYasha shouted as he joined the battle once more to help defeat Naraku and avenge his friend.
"Go!" Kagome shouted as she shot her arrow on target (Naraku). All they were missing was Hiraikotsu. It was working – Naraku was becoming weaker by the second. Hotaru gulped; she knew she'd be disobeying her brother; but she had to do something.
"Kazaana!" Hotaru cried as she stood by her brother's side. Naraku began to lose control as he was dragged closer to the air voids. Kagura and Kanna left the scene having done their jobs. Sesshomaru also left knowing he was no longer needed. Miroku struggled to speak.
"I told you never to use kazaana." Miroku reminded her.
Hotaru smiled. "What difference does it make? If we succeed…we'll both be free and safe." Hotaru remained focussed and determined.
"Shit!" Naraku stressed as he was pulled closer and could not focus on the attacks. Suddenly he was sliced in half from behind by Sesshomaru who had returned for more. One half was sucked into Miroku's air void and the other into Hotaru's. It was finally over. Naraku…was over.
Kagome smiled with relief and walked over to Miroku. InuYasha followed. Miroku gazed at his hand; his palm was back; he was cured. He turned to his sister who was smiling with glee. Suddenly Hotaru collapsed. "Hotaru!" Miroku cried as he bent down beside her.
"I'm fine, just… a little tired that's all." Hotaru looked in the direction of where they last saw Sango.
Silently and shamefully Miroku walked to the edge and said a short prayer to Sango. They returned to the hut, however the atmosphere was indescribable. It was so depressing; no one knew what to say except. "Why did it have to end like this?" Even InuYasha was crying.
