"Ka- Kaede? Kaede!" Inuyasha could only stare in horror.
"Old lady…" Inuyasha said almost falling to his knees.
"It's not true. Tell me its not!" Kagome screeched.
"That damn Kagura did this. I bet anything on it!" Inuyasha said backing away from Kaede's body. Inuyasha let out a yelp of surprise telling Kagome that something happened to him. Kagome pulled out her jewel shards and lit the room.
"Inuyasha?" She asked looking around.
"Down here." He answered. Kagome stared down and found him lying over Kagura.
"You… You three-timer!" She yelled. "How can you think of such a thing right now! You're getting as bad as Miroku!"
"Its not what it looks like. I just tripped alright?" He explained. "But now I know it wasn't Kagura who did this."
Kagome thrust her pieces of the sacred jewel in the air lighting the whole dungeon. More and more bodies appeared one after another.
"Are they all…" She couldn't finish the thought but Inuyasha got the idea. He bent down and checked Kagura's pulse. He nodded. Kagome gasped. Inuyasha held her for a second then pulled her along down the cave.
They had to step over many bodies and skeletons. One by one they counted them off.
"Kaede, Kagura…" Kagome started.
"Kana, Jaken." Inuyasha said.
"Haku… Kikyo…" Kagome added.
"Kirara and Shippo…" Inuyasha slowly replied.
"Eisaku and Genpaku." Kagome choked.
"Koga, and…" Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"Sesshomaru…" Kagome completed the sentence for him. She held onto him. He pulled his eyes off his dead brother and continued walking on, dragging Kagome with him. No more bodies appeared on the ground as the walked in silence. Kagome was doing the math in her head.
"Hey Inuyasha, isn't there someone missing?"
"What do you mean? They're all dead, we just counted them off."
"No, Sango and Miroku are missing." She pointed out. Inuyasha thought about it realizing that she was right.
"UGH!" A slicing sound came from a room down the long corridor.
"Let's go, they need our help!" Kagome exclaimed. Inuyasha agreed and they ran down the corridor. Finally when they reached light, they found Sango and Miroku lying on the floor all bloodied up.
"Sango! Miroku!" Kagome said breaking from Inuyasha. She ran to Sango's side first.
"Ka-go-me." Sango forced herself to say.
"Don't speak, save your energy."
"Kagome… don't kill him, please. Save Kohaku!" Sango cried letting tears fall down her cheeks. "He's the only brother, I'll ever have…"
Kagome remembered her little brother at home. How he was a helpful little brother all the time and how much she loved him. She looked down at Sango and smiled.
"I won't kill him Sango. I promise." She closed Sango's eyes and laid her head down. "May you both rest in peace now." Kagome looked around the room.
"Come out Kohaku. I know your secret, the jig is up!" Kagome drew her weapon and aimed at the side of the room. "I can see jewel shards remember?"
Kohaku slowly came out of hiding.
"So you know my secret do you?" He maliciously smiled.
"Get out of Kohaku's body you demon!" Kagome shot her arrow but to her surprise, it fell to the ground half way there.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked confused about the whole conversation.
"That's him Inuyasha, it's… It's Naraku in disguise!" She cried.
"Naraku?" He asked.
"That's right Inuyasha, I'm your dear brother, I'm sure you missed me."
(A/N I must say that if you have seen the second movie of Inuyasha, then this scene might seem familiar, but I promise you, I did not mean for this to be like the second movie at all. I had this idea before I even knew about the second movie. Sorry if it seems like a repeat, but it really isn't!)
"I don't have enough power to kill nor seal away his soul. What will we do? We can't kill Kohaku."
"Take a closer look Kagome," Inuyasha pressured. "He's already dead."
"No, he can't already be dead. When did he die?" She asked.
"By the smell of things, he's been dead for a couple of days."
"No. But, I promised Sango I would save him! I promised."
"There is nothing you can do…" Kohaku laughed.
"Bring Kohaku back!" Kagome shot another arrow but it again fell to the ground.
"Kagome, save your strength and run out of here. I'll deal with this bastard."
"No! If you do, you'll die!"
"Then I will die. I can't stand around and watch the person I care about most, die…" Inuyasha smiled sadly at her. "Go."
"I won't, I will fight with you to the end!"
"Kagome…"
"I'm staying and there's no way you can change my mind."
Inuyasha smiled and looked at Kohaku's possessed body.
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Lets go then." Inuyasha carried Kagome on his back and ran close to Kohaku.
"Taking the direct approach brother? Not very wise."
"Ready Kagome?" Kagome jammed her jewel shards into an arrow and aimed.
"I'm ready." Kagome assured him.
"You are wasting your time!" Kohaku charged at Inuyasha but Inuyasha dodged around him.
"Now Kagome!" Kagome let the arrow fly into Kohaku's back, hitting the jewel shard embedded in it. The in Kohaku's back ripped itself from his body and joined with Kagome's shard. Kohaku's deafening scream forced Inuyasha and Kagome to wonder about what was happening to him.
Kagome walked up and grabbed the sacred jewel.
"Finally, its safe."
"It's safe but you're not!" The demon left Kohaku's body, causing Kohaku to fall on the ground and screeched. Naraku's spirit was still moving and attacked Kagome.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga and cut through his spirit causing it to dissipate.
"No!" It cried and slowly disappeared.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha who was just fine. He examined himself and smiled.
"Guess it didn't count since he was already dead."
"What a relief!" Kagome jumped into his arms. Then suddenly, she remembered the scenery around her.
"Lets start digging." Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded.
