"Talking"

'Thinking'

Spirit Voices

Stressed Word

Naraku watched as the glowing orb entered Inuyasha's body. He could sense Kikyo, Kagome, and the Tama within that orb. He growled when Inuyasha briefly glowed before he went back to normal. Inuyasha opened his eyes to reveal his amber color. His claws and fangs were normal and his ki had risen dramatically after the orb entered him. Naraku smirked at Inuyasha before wiping the blood from his right eye.

"Do you think you can still win?" Naraku asked as he began to circle Inuyasha.

"I know I can win," Inuyasha confidently said as picked up Tetsusaiga.

"Just because the Miko gave you some power doesn't mean you can beat me," Naraku taunted.

"I could beat you by myself…but there are others who want in," Inuyasha said with a smirk.

Letting Tetsusaiga transform to its true power he watched as Naraku narrowed his eyes. Inuyasha let the wind pick up speed around his sword as he raised it above his head and unleashed the wind scar. Naraku laughed as the attack seeped into his body. Inuyasha watched as clouds of dust covered the area that Naraku once stood in. He still held his Tetsusaiga in front of him in case Naraku wasn't destroyed by the blast. He started to relax when the dust began to clear. He tensed and screamed in pain as he look down at his left shoulder and saw a tentacle.

The blood began to pour from the wound that went through his shoulder, missing his heart by a hair. Naraku withdrew and sent Inuyasha flying to the ground. Naraku smirked and chuckled as he went closer and kicked the hanyou in the chest.

"You are weak…pathetic, just like that human," Naraku mocked. Inuyasha growled as Naraku kicked him in the face sending him flying into the alter.

"You failed everyone around you. You failed Kikyo, the monk, the wolf, and the woman you claimed to have loved…Kagome. Worst you're failing her by dieing," Naraku sneered as he stabbed Inuyasha through the stomach.

'I've failed them all,' he thought as his blood began a tiny pool.

"You can't even defend your honor," he continued to taunt.

'I am pathetic,' he began to believe.

Don't you dare give up!

"You have nothing left to fight for," he whispered in his ear.

'Nothing left,' he repeated in his mind.

Fight for you!

'Still I hear her encourage me,' Inuyasha scoffed at himself.

We're all hear Inuyasha, fight and live like I won't you to

"Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered.

"She's not here to save you," Naraku cruelly said.

You have the power, now fight! You have to fight for yourself. Now get up and fight!

You're giving up so easily? A calm voice asked.

'Kikyo?' Inuyasha asked.

She needs you to fight and you mustn't lose.

A brief light of pink flashed over his body before the bleeding stopped. He sat up and watched Naraku back away suspiciously. The Tetsusaiga pulsed within his fist as he got to his feet.

"Why must you continue to fight?" Naraku hissed at him as he sent a tentacle speeding towards Inuyasha heart.

When the tentacle reached Inuyasha's haori it erupted into pink flames. Naraku growled and sent ten more flying towards him only to have the flames race through his tentacles and shock him.

'How can they be purified?' Naraku frantically thought as he separated from them.

"I still have my life to fight for and Kagome's still with me," Inuyasha yelled out as the wind scar came to life around the blade. The winds began to take on a pink and blue tint and roared to life.

"The only thing you have left of her is a corpse," Naraku spat with a smirk.

"Wind scar!" Inuyasha roared and he sent winds of purifying ki straight for Naraku.

Naraku tried to shield himself from the roaring energies that tore at his skin. He screamed in pain as the skin was ripped from his body. Everything began to grow numb as his life flashed before his eyes. He laughed not feeling any remorse for what he had done.

Even during your death you feel nothing but hate.

'Kikyo,' he thought.

That is why you'll never be given a chance at life.

'Kagome.'

You are forever condemned to death, both of them replied.

Inuyasha watched as the flames and wind cleared away. Nothing but a few torn pieces of kimono were left of Naraku. Inuyasha walked over to the area and scanned the area before he fell to his knees and passed out. Kagura floated down towards the ground with Kanna. Kanna looked over at Kagura and watched as she spat upon Naraku's cloths. She then walked over to Inuyasha and nudged him with her foot. When he mad no response she cursed and dragged him onto her feather.

Taking off into the sky Kanna watched as the Shikon no Tama fell from Inuyasha's hand. She then gently called the remaining of Kagome's soul into the mirror where she could rest. Kagura noticed the jewel and tucked it inside her kimono for safekeeping.

"What shall be done with the jewel?" Kanna whispered.

"We will give it to its keeper," Kagura answered as they continued their journey to Kaede's.

Sango and Kaede sat on the other side of the hut as they listened to Shippo wail. Kaede calmly sipped her tea unable to think of what else to do since Kagome's corpse was not to far. Sango held her head in her hands as she replayed Kagome dying in her mind. She didn't know what to think as she let the tears fall. Kirara had brought Kouga's and Miroku's bodies back to the village. They were in the opposite hut since they had been dead longer.

"Is he asleep?" Sango asked Kaede once Shippo's sobs had vanished.

"Yes, I believe he is heart broken," Kaede said.

"Too many have died," Sango whispered as she shivered from the gentle falling snow.

"Ye are right, too many have died, but there is always hope," Kaede tried to convince her as she turned to look at the falling snow.

Sango looked towards the door when Kirara ran outside. The door flap was moved aside as Kanna stepped inside. Kagura then came in carrying Inuyasha's body. Kaede cautiously watched as Kagura set him down close to the fire.

"He is unconscious," Kagura, answered the unspoken question.

"And Naraku?" Sango tensely asked.

"Dead," Kagura answered with a true smile.

"It's over," Sango whispered in relief and sorrow.

"The Shikon no Tama needs to return to its owner," Kagura calmly said as she took out the jewel.

"Hand it over!" Sango warned.

"I have no use for it…I will only place it in the hands of the protector," Kagura firmly said.

"The protector is dead and I won't let it be in the hands of a youkai!" Sango spat as her voice began to wake Shippo.

"You are blind," Kagura sneered as she walked over to Kagome's body. She pulled the sheet covering her off and kneeled beside her. Kagura reached inside her kimono and brought out her fan. Sango was about to charge over there but stopped when Kaede put a hand on her shoulder. Kagura opened the fan and quickly used her wind blades to cut the chains on the Miko's wrist. A steady beating was heard throughout the room as Kagome glowed a brief red.

"Her heart has returned," Kagura explained as she motioned for Kanna.

Kanna let her mirror glow as the soul of Kagome emerged like puff of smoke it vanished inside the body. Kagome slightly coughed and opened her eyes as she smiled at Kagura and looked sorrowfully upon Sango. Kagura placed the jewel within Kagome's hand and nodded.

"Please bring back the one's killed by Naraku and his Incarnations," Kagome asked as she closed her eyes and felt everything leave. The jewel glowed a brilliant pink before it vanished and leaving the people in the room in shock.

"Is she…" Sango trailed off as she approached Kagura.

"No, she's alive…just like the others," Kagura answered as she left the hut with Kanna.

Kagura watched as Sango ran to the opposite hut and let out a scream and laugh of bliss. Kanna quietly watched as Kouga walked out of the hut rubbing his arms. He sniffed the air and growled when he turned to face Kagura. She laughed and put her fan away.

"Your clan is alive and well," Kagura assured as she took to the air with Kanna. Kouga shrugged as he rubbed his arms making sure he was alive. He followed the scent of Kagome and noticed that she was sleeping on the far end of the hut. He tried to growl at her but sighed and sat down. He then noticed Inuyasha passed out on the floor close to the fire.

"Are ye well?" Kaede asked as she watched the wolf prince.

"I'm not dead," he replied as he listened to the Houshi and Taijiya come in.

"She did it! She brought them all back!" Sango happily yelled.

"Shut the fuck up!" Inuyasha growled as he rubbed his head.

"Nice of you to wake up dog boy," Kouga grunted causing Inuyasha to jump up in shock. He looked at Kouga before his gaze turned to the monk that he smelt.

"Kouga? Miroku? How are you alive?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku smacked Inuyasha on the head with his Shakujou and frowned at him.

"Kagome made a wish that everyone that Naraku and his incarnation's killed would be brought back," Sango explained.

"Shit! Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha panicked.

"Sleeping," Kaede said as she motioned to the body.

Inuyasha walked towards her and sat down next to her. He tucked a stray lock of her white hair behind her ear. He then sniffed her and found her scent to back to normal. Her skin was still a soft blue. He leaned down and kissed her forehead before he whispered 'wake up'. Kagome's eyes gently opened and Inuyasha stared down in shock at her. Not knowing what she would he patiently waited.

"You kissed me," Kagome whispered as she sat up.

"So what?" Inuyasha challenged.

"Kikyo isn't coming back," Kagome warned.

"I want you," Inuyasha whispered as his cheeks turned pinked. Kagome smiled and was about to reply when they sensed a strong youkai aura. Kagome sadly looked at Inuyasha and stood up and walked outside into the snow.

"It's time," a stoic voice called out.

"So soon?" Kagome asked with sorrow.

"I fulfilled my promise with interest and now you must come," the voice stated with no room for argument.

"Sesshoumaru! What do you want?" Inuyasha yelled out.

"He's here for me," Kagome said.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"I am here for the Yuki-onna…Kagome," Sesshoumaru stated.

"She's not leaving!" Inuyasha growled.

"I'm a snow woman, eh?" Kagome laughed as she walked towards Sesshoumaru.

"Yes, and without training you'll kill yourself," Sesshoumaru stated.

"Kagome, get back here," Inuyasha pleaded.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, I have a promise to uphold, I'll come back to you," Kagome said as she stood next to Sesshoumaru.

"What about your promise to me?" Inuyasha growled.

"I'll come back to you…no matter what," Kagome promised as they rose into the air on his cloud. Kagome blew a kiss towards Inuyasha and looked forward towards the future.

"You will see him again," Sesshoumaru said as they flew towards the mountains.

"I know," Kagome whispered as she let a tear slide down her cheek.

"I will train you to control your youki since you are no longer human."

"Am I a Miko?"

"No, your destiny as a Miko is complete," Sesshoumaru, said. Kagome looked over at him and could see that truly believed that. So without another word she turned her eyes back towards where she was going. If she had to train to see Inuyasha again, then she would do it. Nothing would separate them this time, not even time.

The End
Author's Notes:

This is the end and I won't be writing a sequel to it, because it leaves a perfect opening for the imagination. You get a basic understanding that Kagome and Inuyasha will be together.

Kagome is a Yuki-Onna; this is a spirit of snow or someone who died in the snow. I just used snow to represent Kagome's purity or how her life was stolen in Naraku's cold trap of becoming like him.

I got all info on the Yuki-Onna from http/www.k2.dion.ne.jp/youkai/index.html

Please review and tell me what you think!

Thanks to all the loyal reviewers and readers.
