Lost But Found
Final Battle
"Kagome!" The group yelled as they lurched towards her, only to have Kagura, Kanna and Kohaku land between them.
"Kohaku" Sango pleaded, as her brother stared at her with emotionless eyes.
Naraku held Kagome by her throat with one tentacle and was reaching out to grab her shards with another.
Just as the tentacle approached, two kunai blades flew through the air and severed the tentacles as a white orb shot out, grabbed Kagome and landed next to Inuyasha.
Naraku turned towards the group as they smiled at Naraku's attacker.
"Inuyasha, I thought you were supposed to guard her. Never send a man to do a woman's job" Naoki smirked as she gracefully landed and Sesshomaru reformed from the orb with Kagome in his arms.
"Naraku" Sesshomaru snarled "You will pay for touching her"
Naoki handed Kagome her kodachi as Shippo delivered her quiver and bow.
The grows all drew their weapons and faced off: Inuyasha drew Tetsaiga, Sesshomaru's claws glowed for his whip , and Kagome had her kodachi prepared as the rest clamored into position.
Kagome stared straight ahead at Kanna as, for the first time, Kanna's eyes showed emotion to tell Kagome she was ready. With Kanna's back to Naraku, she revealed to the Inuyasha group Naraku's demise on her mirror. Almost as if that was the cue, the two groups launched at each other.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha leapt over Kagura and Kanna and began the assault on Naraku immediately. Kouga rushed Kagura, Miroku and Sango defended against Kohaku, Kagome formed her whip as she faced off against Kanna. That left Naoki, Shippo, and Kirara to their own objective.
Shippo rode upon a transformed Kirara as they ran along beside Naoki.
"How will we find them?" Naoki asked
"She'll give us a sign"
As if sensing their doubt, a wind blade shot into the woods before them.
Kagura sparred off against Kouga as they kept watch on the trio's progression through the woods on their objective.
The trio approached the crash site, and as they neared they spotted their target and began attacking the saimyousho hives, eliminating the threat to Miroku.
As the groups fought on, acting to keep Naraku busy from noticing the trio, a woman's voice screamed as Miroku called out to Sango.
Kirara was by Sango's side in a heartbeat. She dropped off Shippo to look after Sango and she launched at Kohaku, knocking the weapon out of his hand and rendering him unconscious as he hit the ground.
Sensing that their time was running out, Kagome decided it was time to end it.
"Naraku! Prepare yourself!" She screamed as she let her arrow fly.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru nimbly dodge the arrow, but just as the arrow as about to strike, Kanna stepped in and took the arrow into her mirror.
Kagome prepared another arrow as she stood before Naraku and Kanna. Kagura nimbly landed before them as Kouga and Naoki rushed to check on Sango.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru landed next to Kagome -Inuyasha to the left and Sesshomaru to the right.
"Now Kagome, do you really expect that to work this time?" Naraku snickered.
"Actually Naraku, I do" Kagome replied as Kagura and Kanna leapt away from Naraku and turned to face him. Kagura landed to the left of Inuyasha and Kanna to the right of Sesshomaru.
Are those Jewel Shards? Kagome thought as she spotted a large glow emanating from Kagura and Kanna.
"You traitors!" Naraku snarled
"DIE NARAKU!" Kagura yelled as all five unleashed their attacks.
Kagome and Kanna both let their arrows fly, Kagura used her wind blades, and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha used Tokijin and Tetsaiga.
Immediately after releasing her arrow, Kagome grabbed her kodachi and with her whip she perfectly sliced through a piece of Naraku.
"Sesshomaru, the jewel quick!"
Sesshomaru effortlessly glided over and returned with the jewel in hand before Naraku began to reform.
"You will never defeat me" Naraku rasped, "I will heal and be back for you" he threatened as he tried to form a miasma to make his escape in.
"Actually Naraku, my family will finally have its revenge and be at peace" Miroku yelled from behind Naraku. "For all those you have harmed Naraku, meet your end in your own creation! WIND TUNNEL!" Miroku screamed for the last time. As Naraku was sucked into the wind tunnel it immediately healed over.
"It's over, it's finally over" Kagome breathed as both Kagura and Kanna burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked, slightly confused.
"Nothing's wrong. It's just..." Kagura started, but was at a loss.
"We finally have our lives back. Naraku controlled our hearts, he could kill us in an instant. With his death, our hearts have returned." Kanna finished. "Thank you Kagome"
"There is no reason to thank me, the two of you helped greatly. Tell me, do you possess Jewel shards?"
"Yes, Naraku gave them to me and Kanna so that we would be stronger to defeat you" Kagura replied as both girls removed the shards from their bodies and presented them to Kagome.
Sensing it was his turn, Kouga stepped forward and removed his last two jewel shards.
"Here Kagome, I've had them long enough" Kouga stated as he offered them forward.
"That just leaves Kohaku's" Sango replied, holding her bleeding arm.
"Sango, I can't" Kagome stated as she looked at the two siblings.
"You have to Kagome, he wouldn't be safe with the shard"
"Kagome" Sesshomaru murmured, "allow me"
Sesshomaru stepped forward and as all the girls looked away, he nimbly tore the jewel out of Kohaku's back. He handed the shard to Kagome as he immediately turned back to Kohaku. Reaching for the hilt, Sesshomaru unsheathed Tenseiga and returned Kohaku to the living.
Kohaku gasped for breath as tears welled up in Sango's eyes.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru. I am forever indebted to you" Sango whispered as she embraced her brother.
"You owe me nothing, your happiness makes Kagome happy."
When the group turned around they saw Kagome standing off in the middle of the field on her own. She held the newly formed jewel within her hand.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called out.
"To think, all this trouble and all this pain for this small jewel" Kagome replied in barely a whisper.
I wish that everyone that Naraku hurt could be at peace and have their heart's one wish fulfilled.
With that, Kagome and the jewel glowed purple as the light exploded outwards. When the glow subsided, they all saw Kagome standing before them, but it wasn't Kagome.
Kagome turned to look at them, as her new self. She was still Kagome, but there were small changes to her appearance. Her black hair had taken on silver highlights and her eyes now glowed amber.
"Kagome, what did you do?" Sesshomaru asked as he rushed forward.
"I wished that everyone Naraku hurt could be happy"
"Well what happened to you? You still smell human"
"I'm not really sure. Has anything else changed?"
"Uh Kagome, I'm pretty sure this is a big change" Shippo called as they all turned to look at the well, which still glowed purple.
