Harpygirl91- Sorry it's taken so long to post this chapter! Our computer had a major virus so the computer had to be taken to the computer place in town and it was there for the last few weeks. Luckily none of my information was destroyed! Now before any ado let's get to the part where Sesshomaru kicks Naraku's but!
Chapter 10: The beginning of the end (of the story but the end of Naraku)
Sesshomaru and the crew were cautiously approaching Naraku's castle and froze as they saw a headless body that was still twitching. (I have been watching way too much CSI)
"Gross…" Rei said covering her eyes. (Rin and Shippo were forced to stay behind with Kaede)
"What is that?" Kagome asked with her mouth covered.
"That's probably Mistress 9." Sesshomaru said glaring at the body. (he's in his past form but I'm going to keep calling him Sesshomaru because I'm used to that. And his sword in this form ins called 'Mangetsu'/ full moon. And Rei's in Sailor form)
"Well we have somebody to rescue right?" Kouga asked.
"Yes. While you all are fighting Naraku Phobos, Deimos, and I will go in the castle and find Hotaru." Titan said as Phobos and Deimos flew beside his head.
"No Naraku's mine." Sesshomaru literally growled," They will take care of the puppets and his other detachments while I make mincemeat." (You want a chainsaw to help?)
"You can't take him on your own." Inu-yasha snorted," Besides I need to hurt him too." (that was almost nice!)
"My powers are thirty times stronger in this form and Mangetsu makes tetsusaiga look like a toothpick." Sesshomaru said," But I'll put in a cut for you."
"Hahaha." Inu-yasha said bluntly," I'm tickled pink by your affection."
"Maybe we should start the attack then you two can argue." Sango said impatiently.
"I think Sesshomaru will be too tired making sure Hotaru doesn't have even a cut on her." Kouga said smirking," But I agree let's get fighting."
They all nodded and as they moved forward at their top speeds. (Poor Kagome she's left behind…. NOT! I'm so harsh)
Naraku was standing in front of the castle surrounded by his detachments and several of his weird puppets. "I thought you would come." Naraku snarled," Now I'll kill you and erase all of Hotaru's memories and she will be mine forever."
Sesshomaru growled and grabbed Mangetsu and shouted," Mangetsu death strike!" the attack pushed Naraku back through a wall and killed the large nest of hornets.
Titan motioned for Phobos and Deimos to follow him in human form and they entered the castle form the back. They each separated and started to looked for Hotaru.
with the other people
"Kaze no Kizu!" Inu-yasha yelled, destroying several of the puppets and destroying some of the demons then he turned to face Kanna and a new detachment. (Looks like a male Kagura and his name is Kisho.)
Kagome and Sango had their hands busy full fending off the numerous puppets that were ganging up on them. (You know I'm just going to call them demons.) a demon was headed at Kagome's back but thankfully Kirara got in and tore it's head off. (That's a good kitty!)
Miroku roughly fell to the ground from sucking demons into his air rip. "Miroku!" Sango shouted and sent her boomerang over to destroy the demons who were about to attack him and then she ran over there to stand in front of him," Stay behind me and save up energy."
"I don't mind staying behind you, my dear Sango." Miroku said standing up and smiling and when Sango least expected it he place a hand on her but. (HENTAI!)
"HENTAI!" Sango shouted and slapped the monk. (I would've kicked him. It's way more affective and works better than slapping)
"Rei watch out!" Kouga shouted as a demons surrounded her.
"Evil Spirits, begone!" Rei shouted and threw several sutras at the demons. (Mucho grandee thanks to Queen Tatooine for telling me what the name of those scrolls were!) The sutras landed on the demons foreheads and made them barbeque.
'ok mental note to self 'DON'T EVER MAKE REI ANGRY'' Kouga said to himself in his mind.
about thirty min later with Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru was locked in the midst of battle with Naraku. Since he had destroyed the last of the hornets Naraku had no way to heal himself and Naraku now only had one arm and several deep wounds. "You can't defeat me.." Naraku said coughing up blood.
"Yes I can and now it's time to die." Sesshomaru said coldly and held his blade vertically," Crescent slash!" Hundreds of crescent blades lashed out to cut Naraku into millions of pieces before he disappeared into dust.
outside
Everyone froze as the demons disappeared into dust and a light glow surrounded Miroku's hand. "What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Looks like Sesshomaru made mincemeat." Inu-yasha said smirking," But what was that glow around your hand?"
Miroku stared at his hand and removed the rosary beads. "I-it's gone!" He shouted and hugged Sango," The air rip is gone!"
"I can't breath…" Sango sputtered out as she started to turn blue.
"Please accept my apologies, Sango-chan." Miroku said letting her go.
"Now let's go help find Hotaru!" Rei shouted and ran at the castle. (I royally stink at writing action scenes. Have pity please!)
with Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru ran through the castle and practically ran into Titan who was carrying an unconscious Hotaru. Hotaru looked like heck. Her face and arms were covered in bruises and cuts and she was so pale her skin was almost transparent.
":Ru-chan!" Sesshomaru shouted and snatched Hotaru out of Titan's arms and held her close. Hotaru's eyes opened slightly and she placed a hand on Sesshomaru's cheek. Sesshomaru placed a finger on her lips as she opened them to say something. "Save your energy." Sesshomaru whispered and carried her outside.
1 week later
Hotaru's eyes opened and she found herself in Kaede's cabin. "Hotaru-mama!" shouted Rin, who grabbed Hotaru into a tight hug. Hotaru felt tears come into her eyes as she hugged Rin close and she let them loose. She had been so scared while she was Naraku's prisoner. He hadn't raped her but as he tried to force her to forget everyone she held dear he had hurt her.
"Hotaru!" shouted Rei who also joined in on hugging her," Hey girl good to see you awake!"
"Is everyone ok?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes. A few scraps and bruises but nothing life-threatening." Rei said as both she and Rin let go.
"Where's Sesshomaru?" Hotaru asked.
"I'm right here." Sesshomaru said coming in and sitting down beside Hotaru with a bowl," Are you hungry?"
"I'm famished." Hotaru said blushing.
"Good because I have some nihon soba for you." Sesshomaru said.
"How?" Hotaru asked then the other outers burst through the cabin door.
"HIME-CHAN!" they all shouted and grabbed her into a tight hug.
"Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, Setsuna-mama, why are you here?" Hotaru asked.
"Well we wanted to meet Seon's reincarnation. And we had to meet your new friends." Michiru said smiling," We've been here only a few days and we thought they might all like a gift and we thought, if it's ok with you, that they could become citizens of saturn. Will all the perks, immortality, fast healing, some supernatural abilities."
"Really?" Hotaru asked surprised.
"Miroku and Sango agreed along with Sango's brother Kohaku." Setsuna said smiling.
"Sango has a brother?" Hotaru asked," Wait what about Kagome and Inu-yasha?"
"They used the Shikon jewel to make them immortal but they agreed to staying on Saturn with Sango and Miroku." Haruka said smiling," Inu-yasha and me have become training buddies and he only agreed if we would train together every other week."
Hotaru laughed at them and shook her head. "so I guess this is happily ever after?"
"You can say that." Sesshoumaru said smiling at her.
"Wait what about Kouga?" Hotaru asked remembering the wolf.
"Well it turns out he's my knight." Rei said smiling," Believe me I was shocked. I just found out yesterday."
"Congratulations, Rei-chan." Hotaru said smiling because she felt completely whole and everything seemed perfect.
six years later. In the present
it was defiantly not perfect….
All the senshi and the Inu-yasha gang was crowded into the small waiting room at the hospital. Sesshomaru was pacing like crazy, a six months pregnant Rei was taping the metal table constantly, and everybody else was quiet with suspense as they waited for the doctors to say it was ok to see Hotaru. They were all in modern day clothes, Kohaku had a girlfriend named Sakura, Miroku and Sango had a year old daughter named Hina, and Kagome was only a few weeks pregnant but driving Inu-yasha crazy. Usagi was holding a bottle for the just two weeks old Chibi-Usa.
The doctor finally came out of the room and smiled at Sesshomaru," Are you the father?"
"Yes!" Sesshomaru snapped.
"Congratulations. It's twins a boy and a girl." The doctor said," Only the father can go in right now but you'll be able to go in, in a second."
Sesshomaru hurried into the room and smiled at his wife. "Hey, Ru-chan." He said as he walked over to her to see his children she was holding.
"They're beautiful aren't they?" Hotaru asked as Sesshomaru sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her.
He wrinkled his nose then said," yes. What will we name them?"
"I don't know how about I name the boy and you name the girl?" Hotaru asked.
Sesshomaru nodded and took the small girl out of Hotaru's arm," How about Kotaru?" The little girl grabbed a hold of his hair and started to suckled her small fist," I think she likes that name."
Hotaru smiled gently as she looked at their small son," What about Onwa?"
"I think that's a great name." Sesshomaru said smiling at his son. (Onwa means gentle.)
"We need to take them to be weighed." Said a nurse and Sesshomaru nodded and handed the babies to the nurses and as the nurses left everyone came in. The women crowded around Hotaru and the men started to congratulate Sesshomaru. (The generals are here. Kunzite with Minako, Nephrite with Makoto, Zoicite with Ami, and shockingly Jadeite with Setsuna. I know odd but I did that because I'm bored)
"So I'm a big sister now?" Rin asked happily. Rin was now 13 and Shippo was her 'boyfriend'.
"Yes you are, Rin-chan." Hotaru said smiling," Are you up to it?"
"Defiantly!" Rin cheered. Hotaru couldn't help from laughing, thanks to tutoring from Setsuna and the other senshi Rin seemed like a normal everyday girl and she was the captain of her middle school dance squad. (Sorry but no cheerleading brings back bad memories from 7th grade)
After about ten minutes the nurse brought back the babies and everybody, even Inu-yasha, went over and ohh and awed over the babies.
"Hotaru-mama, can I hold my baby sister?" Rin asked.
"Sure." Hotaru said and Rin squealed happily and ran over to the little black haired girl," She looks like you Hotaru-mama but she has Sesshomaru-papa's eyes."
"And this little guy looks like Sesshomaru except he has purple eyes." Inu-yasha said looking at the boy and shook his head," Poor boy."
"Hey!" Sesshomaru snapped. The girls laughed as the two started a small verbal fight.
"You wish you hadn't gone through all of that?" Rei asked.
"I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world." Hotaru said.
