Chapter 19

Inuyasha was speechless. The sights he saw and the sound of dripping blood from everyone's body onto the ground all around him, paralyzed him. Slowly, anger and anguish swelled up in him, from a belief that this was all a nightmare, a really bad nightmare he couldn't wake up from; to noticing it was all real. They were all really up there on those wide shelves bleeding to death. Inuyasha couldn't hold back his anger any longer.

"You'll pay for this... You'll go to a place beyond Hell!"

"I might, but so will you. You've killed countless demons and humans, with one swipe of your sword. You're just like me."

"I am nothing like you! I'm different from you!" Inuyasha screamed turning to face Naraku.

"Are you really?! You can't kill me!"

"You shouldn't be so cocky! It could cost you your life!" Inuyasha charged at Naraku with Tetsusaiga. Naraku dodged in time but Inuyasha cut Naraku across the face. Naraku didn't bother to wipe it away.

"You? Kill me? You can't and you don't even see the reason why! I'll kill you before you kill me!"

"If I die, I'm taking you with me to Hell!!!" Inuyasha charged again.

(A/N anyone care to take a guess why Naraku is saying all this when we all know our favorite hero can save anyone? Just think back a while...)

"Inuyasha, so impatient..."

"And how would you know?!" Inuyasha stopped attacking but stayed in a ready stance to attack or defend at any time.

"First of all, the show isn't over..." Naraku through his hand in the air and all of the ledges fell making Miroku and Sango crumple to the ground, still bleeding, behind Inuyasha. They moaned, which meant they were still alive. Inuyasha ran to them. He checked their wounds and found out that they got off with small injuries. Next, Kaede's rope was cut and she fell face first, into Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha checked her as well and found she was alive as well. After that, Shippo and Kirara fell, Inuyasha catching one of them in each hand. He checked them as well. He waited for Kagome and Kikyo to fall down, but they didn't.

"Do you really think it's going to be that easy?" Naraku taunted. The ledge fell out from Kagome and Kikyo and all that kept them up there were the chains around their necks and arms.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm showing you the kind of pain I felt back then..." Naraku was about to give the signal when someone new in to the room attacked. Naraku dodged and looked to his left. Inuyasha followed his gaze.

"You will not!" One high-pitched voice said.

"Let them both go now." A much deeper voice added.

"Ah.... so nice to see you again... Sesshomaru." Standing in the room was Rin, Jaken, and Sesshomaru. "To what do we owe this honor?"

"Let them go." He repeated.

"But I simply can't do that. I know you can't hurt me either so I really have nothing to worry about."

"You, think that the great Lord Sesshomaru can't harm you?!?! Are you so naive or are you simply so dumb!" Jaken broke in.

"It can't be...." Sesshomaru stumbled over the words.

Jaken and Rin looked up at him.

"My lord?"

"Yes, it is true, Sesshomaru."
"So you are Onigumo after all." Sesshomaru concluded.

"Inuyasha!" Koga came running in through the door entrance. He stopped in front of Inuyasha.

"They're all gone! They disappeared and I can't find them!"

"Yeah, I already know..." Inuyasha answered looking at the floor.

Koga looked around the room to find Naraku, Rin, Jaken and Sesshomaru.

"What's going on?" He asked and then he saw Kagome and Kikyo hanging from the ceiling. "Holy crap! Kagome?! Wait a minute! I'll be right up there, hang on!" Koga jumped in the air towards the two bodies. Forced back by some shield, Koga slammed back into the ground. "Damn! What was that?!" He said rubbing his head.

"That is my built in force field, to ensure that nothing can get in and no one can get out." Naraku snickered.

"Damn you Naraku."

"Kana! Kagura! Haku!" Naraku summoned.

They appeared behind Naraku. Haku looked up at his mother's body but didn't react that much. He looked surprised, a little sad and unsure.

"Hold them back while I destroy these bodies." Naraku faced the two bodies, not paying attention to anything else. Suddenly, something struck him, slamming him against a wall nearby. He looked behind him.

"Kagura?" He asked. She didn't look in his eyes, her eyes were focused on the ground.

"I am tired of being stuck here. I would prefer to die than serve you!" Kagura's head lifted to look at Naraku. "I am the wind! I want to be free! Plus..." She looked at Sesshomaru. "I am in love with that man." She finished. Everyone seemed shocked. Even Sesshomaru had a shocked expression on his emotionless face. Naraku clenched his teeth together and a heart appeared in his hand. He clenched it in his fist causing Kagura to fall to the ground. She clenched her heart, breathing heavily. Kana attacked Naraku with her mirror, making Naraku drop Kagura's heart. Kagura looked like she was about to faint, Sesshomaru caught her before she fell backwards.

"Thank you." She smiled. He just thought about what he had done, he didn't know what he was doing.

"Kana, you too?" Naraku asked facing her.

"I'm sorry, you told me to protect my sister and that's what I am doing!" Kana exclaimed, speaking louder than ever before.

"You obey me first!" Naraku squeezed Kana's heart and she went down fast.

"I want to be free as well! You're my father, you should understand that!" She finished. Everyone was shocked. (A/N Yes, she is not really his daughter... I don't think, I just always thought that they were related or something... anyways, everyone has a great face like O0O. tee hee)

"I can do whatever I want!" He yelled.

"Kana," Kagura called. "That's not our father... He's a murderer!"

"Kagura, your words hurt me. I simply had to punish you for your wrong doing."

"Punish me? Ha! What you were doing was pure torture!"

"Okay, I don't know what kind of insanity is going on right now, but Naraku, you're dying by my hands, now!" Inuyasha flung himself at Naraku, slashing his arm and releasing harmful miasma. By now, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara and Kaede were all conscious and watching the whole fight. Kana released Kikyo and Kagome from their chained prisons in the air with her mirror. They fell, Koga catching Kagome and Haku caught Kikyo. Inuyasha had Naraku pinned to the floor, Tetsusaiga pointed at his throat.

"This is goodbye, Naraku."

"You can't kill me, I'm your brother."
