I know it has been a reeeeally long time since I updated, but I had a bad case of writers block. Plus my computer is down and I have to use my parent's piece of crap. Okay, here it goes. The final Chapter! And it's a long one! When I typed it, it was 7 pages! Whoot! Okay…Chapter 15!
Chapter 15
"The Hanyou…I see you've taken a step up in the food chain from your last king." Naraku sneered. Nanasawa didn't flinch at his words. She pushed past him, her hair flipping in his face, and sat upon her throne. Naraku gave her a hateful glare as she sat, but said nothing.
Nanasawa glanced around the room, all eyes upon her. "When was the last time my people have set foot upon the above world?" She asked, seeing how slender their frames were. "Not since you last ruled. We were forced underground by your filthy hanyou's father." Naraku said, walking over to stand by her. "Well, its time for a change." She said, getting to her feet once again. "My people, I have seen your fragile frames and I am sadden. I wish for you to return to the surface and find a person who suits your pallet. Then, once I give the signal, I wish for you to attack and feast upon their blood." A roar of applause and claps came from the surrounding people. Then with a final smile to her vampire people, they marched out of the box throne room.
Happy with her self, Nanasawa sat once again with only Naraku, Kagura, and Kagome as her audience. Kagura had her attention on the limp body of Kagome. Her eyes had a hunger in them. She hadn't been allowed to drink the body of any human since her creation. It pained her to see such an easy target. Nanasawa saw the hungry look in her eyes and glared. "I hope you aren't having any ideas Kagura." She said, pointing a hand at Kagome. Out of her hand shot a black chain that quickly raped around Kagome, making sure nothing went wrong if she were to awake.
"I would never…" Kagura started, but Nanasawa silenced her with her hand. "I do not want to hear it. Return the surface with your brothers and sisters and await my signal." She ordered. "With all do respect you majesty, I can not do as your order. I haven't been allowed to drink the blood of another since my creation and those people are not my brothers and sisters." Kagura said, bowing down on one knee. Nanasawa glared at her for a moment, but softened. "The return to the lobby and await your future king. Show him the way with no trouble, then await future orders." Kagura gave another bow and turned to leave the room.
Naraku stood silently by Nanasawa side, which she quickly took notice of. "Why so quiet Naraku? Do you not wish to feast with your family?" She asked, looking straight ahead. "I'm not hungry." Was his only reply. Nanasawa gave him a look of pure hatred. "Once I am queen, you will be the first to go." She told him simply.
Inuyasha walked along a dark street. Most of the streetlights had burned out and the city had become too lazy to replace them. Hidden under his red trench coat was his powerful sword Tetsuiaga, but he also had on his right hip a couple of stakes. He also had a small bottle of holy water in his pocket and a blessed cross around his neck. Not many people realize that having a cross on your person isn't enough. It has to have been blessed, another wise your shit out of luck.
There was a chill in the air as he walked along. The smell of Nanasawa wasn't hard to find at all. He knew that she wanted him to find her and was purposely not hiding her scent. As he drew closer to what looked like an abandon business building, he saw people pouring out. He quickly hid behind a building, watching them. As he looked closer he saw that they were vampires. After another minute they all took to the sky, no doubt going out for a meal.
Inuyasha quickly went over to the building and pushed through the spinning doors. The building was much cooler than outside, mostly by all the marble. The chairs in the lobby were old and falling about. The magazines that sat on the tables dated several years ago. But as he walked through the lobby he saw a woman behind the reception desk. She had short black hair that was pulled back and dark ruby eyes, which glared at him. "Am I to assume you are Inuyasha?" She asked, looking him up and down.
Inuyasha went up to the desk, looking her over, making sure how big a threat she was. "Yes." Was his only answer. "Oh wow…she failed to mention how attractive you are." She said, toying with a piece of his silver hair that lay on the desk. He quickly grabbed his hair from her grasp, giving a low growl. "Mr. Feisty…Follow me." Kagura led the way towards a waiting elevator. Seeing there was nothing else he could do, he followed.
They road in silence, Inuyasha glaring at her as the made their descent. Kagura only gave shifty glances, a small smile on her face as she looked back. A low growl from Inuyasha made her turn and face forward. The elevator came to a painful sounding stop and they walked onward. Inuyasha could smell Nanasawa very clearly now. She was in the room and with every step they drew closer.
Kagura then led him into a rather large throne room that had been created by stacking cardboard boxes. Almost like a small child's fort. He then noticed that Nanasawa was lying rather lazily in the throne chair, a smile coming to her face as they approached. Kagura then came to a stop a few feet from her throne and bowed. "Your highness, I have done as instructed and now awaiting further orders." She said, not looking at her. "Patrol upstairs and make sure we are not interrupted." She said, turning in her eat to the sitting position.
Kagura then gave another bow and walked out living them along, except for the strange man standing beside Nanasawa. "Who is the muscle?" Inuyasha asked, glaring at the man next to her. "That is just Naraku. Pay no attention to him. He is just pissed because he can't be king." She told him, smiling. "So…you're the queen of the vampires. No wonder you were so damn hard to kill." Inuyasha said, turning his attention back to her. "I'll take that as a compliment." She said, standing. "Were is Kagome?" He asked, placing a hand on his sword. He thought he saw a little pain in her eyes as he mentioned her name, but ignored it.
"Don't you know it's bad to mention one's ex?" Nanasawa said, walking right up into his face. "She's not my ex, so there shouldn't be a problem." He said through clenched teeth. Nanasawa gave a pout as he said this and pointed to Naraku, who was now holding a limp chained Kagome. His first instinct was to run to her side, but he stayed firmly planted, looking back at Nanasawa. "What do you want?" He asked. A smile returned to her face as he asked this. "You." As if it was a plain as daylight.
Inuyasha took a step back at the notion. "What the hell do you mean?" He yelled. "I want you to be my king! To stand beside me and love me until the end of time. I want to be with you forever Inuyasha." She said, tears coming to her eyes. "What makes you think I can't just kill you and take Kagome?" he demanded. "Because Kagura is upstairs and can quickly notify the others to return and kill you. Plus, I don't think you would make it out of here in time to save Kagome." She explained, pointing behind her. Inuyasha looked, and to her horror saw that Naraku had his teeth close to Kagome's neck.
Inuyasha clenched his sword tightly in his fist, his knuckles turning white. He didn't know what choice he had, but decided that he wasn't going down that easily. With one quick motion he sent a wind scar directly at Naraku, who dodged it barely. Naraku then made a quick movement to bight into Kagome, but Inuyasha pulled out his only bottle of holy water and threw it at Naraku's face. He let out a scream of pain as he held his face, running blindly around the room. The smell of burnt flesh filled the room as Naraku fell to the floor in a heap. "Thank you for doing me a favor my little hanyou." She said with a wicked smile.
Nanasawa slowly pulled out her Katana and prepared to fight. Inuyasha lunged at her with his sword, but with a wave her hand sent a shock wave of dark magic at him, which forced him back. She then leaped into the air and landed on him, pinning him to the ground. "Just say you'll be my king and I wont have to hurt any of those beautiful silver hairs on your head." She said, giving him a wicked smile. "Never!" He hissed, throwing her back and getting to his feet. She then jumped back and gave a laugh. In her hand started to forma black orb, which she threw at him. Seeing the orb flying at him he quickly ran at it and yelled, "Backlash Wave!" The force from his sword quickly wrapped around the orb and sent it flying back at her. In one quick movement she pulled out her wings and took flight, barely missing the attack.
"Tricky Tricky…." She said, flying right at him, ready to attack with her sword. He blocked back her sword and pushed her back. "Just one little word and this could all be over with." She said. "I said never!" He yelled, pushing more onto the sword. Nanasawa quickly jumped back to avoid the blade, a glare on her face. "I am tired of this!" She yelled, a black whip forming in her hand. She then shot the whip at Inuyasha, who blocked it with his sword, causing it to wrap around. Then with a quick jerk, Nanasawa pulled the sword from Inuyasha's hands and had it land by her feet. Dropping the whip, she pointed her hand towards the now sword less Inuyasha. Black rings formed around his wrists, ankles, and neck. They then pulled him back and pinned him to the box wall, making it impossible to move.
Nanasawa gave a victorious laugh as Inuyasha struggled with the rings. "The time is now, you must now become the king of the vampires." She said, walking over. "I drink your blood…you drink mine…then our life's become entwine," she recited, an inch from his face. Inuyasha could only glared at her, unable to move. Then suddenly a voice screamed, "No!" Both Inuyasha and Nanasawa turned to see Kagome awake and struggling under her chains. "Shut up you wench! You have no say in the matter!" Nanasawa spat, storming over. "You were merely a body to grow from! You have served your purpose!" She yelled, kicking her. "Don't you dare touch her again!" Inuyasha screamed, pulling on the rings in hopes to pull the boxes down. "Stop trying to pull down the boxes. The are reinforced with vampire magic, making them as strong as any steel, cement, or wood." Nanasawa explained.
She then saw the pure hatred he had for her in his eyes and was hurt. She wanted him to love her! Not the stupid wench that lay at her feet. She wanted him to hate Kagome, not her. Then it came to her in a flash. "Your mother was killed by a vampire, correct?" She asked, turning her full attention on Inuyasha. "Yes...and I killed the bastered! And your next you bitch!" He yelled, not truly giving up on struggling. "But you are wrong Inuyasha. For it was Kagome who killed your mother!" She yelled, pointing at the now shocked Kagome. Inuyasha could only stare in disbelief. "That's right! She killed her and made it look like a vampire had done it! True, it was to feed me and to keep me alive, but I had said any human would do. She chose your mother. She stabbed her in the neck and then drank her blood! She then stabbed her again to make it look like a bite mark!" Nanasawa explained, victory in her eyes as she watched Inuyasha's expression.
Kagome had started crying at this point, unable to look at Inuyasha. "Why Kagome?" He asked, all his hatred melting away and sorrow filling its place. "She never liked me! But she loved Kikyou! I just thought that with her around, I would never have a shot at being your girlfriend. But then I knew that it was a horrible mistake as soon as I killed her. And then you just thought of me as the supporting friend." She said, crying even harder as she spoke. "Kagome…how could you…I…" but Inuyasha couldn't finish. His heart was so torn that he didn't have the strength to speak.
"It is time." Nanasawa said softly, walking over. "Wait…Can I at least hug him goodbye?" Kagome cried, on the floor. Nanasawa looked at her pathetic form and felt sorry for her. With a snap of her fingers the chains went away and Kagome got to her feet. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and hugged his waist. "I'm sorry Inuyasha…I never meant for it to turn out like this." She cried. But as she was doing this, Kagome slowly pulled a stake out from Inuyasha's belt. Inuyasha felt it being pulled out but did not move. Nanasawa then clasped her hand on Kagome's shoulder and shoved her back.
Kagome then quickly held her stake high and went to stab it into Nanasawa's back, but she wasn't fast enough. Nanasawa quickly turned and grabbed Kagome Wrist, holding the stake high above her. Then with a quick kick to the stomach, knocked Kagome to the floor and chains came out of the floor to pin her down. Nanasawa gave her a small smile as she threw the stake to the floor. "Pathetic…" Kagome cried silently, unable to move.
Nanasawa then turned her attention back to Inuyasha. She slowly pushed back the collar of his coat to expose the soft flesh between his neck and shoulder. She slowly leaned in, seeing Inuyasha tense as she drew close. She then slowly clasped her teeth around his neck and began to drink, but not too much. As she pulled away she wiped her mouth clean of any remaining blood. "You do taste as good as I thought." She said with a small smile. But she got no response from him. Seeing that he wasn't going to do this willingly, she lifted her hand to her mouth and bite in, pulling blood in to her mouth. She then placed her lips upon his and forced the blood into his mouth. At once, Inuyasha despised the taste and it made him want to gang, but Nanasawa gentle stroked his throat, making him swallow.
Inuyasha then closed his eyes as a sharp pain filled his stomach. Nanasawa watch with glee as Inuyasha's hair grew longer, turning black with red at the tips. His white dog-ears turned black and his claws grew longer. Inuyasha let out a cry of pain as wing grew out of his back. As his cried out you could see that his fangs had grown longer. His wings were even bigger than Nanasawa, for he was now King of the vampires. He then went limp and all went silent. Nanasawa removed the rings with a wave of her hand, letting Inuyasha slide down to the floor. After a moment, Inuyasha stirred, getting to his feet. As he opened his eyes you could see they were as blood red as Nanasawa's.
"My Love!" she cried, flinging her arms around him. They then shared a long kiss before Inuyasha heard soft crying. "I believe she is heart broken, dear." Inuyasha said in a hateful tone as he glared at Kagome. With a wave of her hand the chains pinning Kagome vanished and she got to her feet. "You have served your purpose, now go." Nanasawa ordered. But Kagome stayed where she was, glaring at her through her tears. "She is feisty this one…" said Inuyasha with a laugh. He then walked over to Kagome, towering over her. Then with a sniff he let out a laugh. "Fear…Anger…a hint of Sadness…and…Love" He sneered the last word. It was as if he was deciding what had been put in his dinner. "I think I would like this one to be my dinner." Inuyasha said. Then, as if a jolt of lightening had been sent through her, Kagome ran out of the room. "I love a little exercise before I eat." Inuyasha said, giving chase.
Kagome ran along the bow hallways, not sure were she was going. But the sound of flapping wings meant that Inuyasha wasn't far behind. She wished she knew were the hell she was, but Kagome kept running. She would have rather given a fight then to just stay down and die. But as she ran along the hallways she saw something fall to the floor. The hall way was so dark she couldn't make it out. As she cam closer, it suddenly sprang up to reveal the hungry eyes of Inuyasha. Before she could run away he grabbed her and bite deep into her shoulder. "Get off damit!" She yelled, punching him in the side of the head. Inuyasha yelled in pain, releasing his grip on her. Kagome then took off running.
Nanasawa smiled as she heard Kagome's voice echo from somewhere in the basement. Soon she would be dead and her and Inuyasha would be together forever. As sweet thoughts of her and Inuyasha killing people filled her mind, she was soon brought back to earth by a sharp pain in her right shoulder. She looked down to see the sharp end of a stake protruding from her right shoulder. She then felt and rough jerk as it was pulled out and she fell to the ground in pain. "Sorry, my aim in off because I can't see to well." A voice said in true pain. Nanasawa rolled over to see a hideous figure in front of her. The holy water had taken its toll on Naraku's face. His face was scorched and piece of skin was hanging off. One eye was swollen closed, why the other looked as if it had no lid anymore.
"Damn you Naraku…" She cursed, trying to get to her feet. With another stab, the stake went through her stomach. She let out a cry in pain and fell back to the floor. "I'm sorry. Don't worry, you know what they say, third time's the charm." He said to her, trying to aim up with her heart.
Inuyasha froze as he heard a scream of pain. He could also smell the scent of Nanasawa's blood. Forgetting all about Kagome, he quickly ran forward, rushing to be by his love's side.
Kagome saw a black blur run past her and knew something had happened. Trying her best to keep up, she quickly followed him in the direction she believed to be the throne room. It seemed that something had happened to Nanasawa. In her heart, she was so happy that Nanasawa might be dead. But She was also saddened by the fact that Inuyasha would be heart broken if she was.
Inuyasha reached the throne room in record time. As he ran in he saw Naraku holding a stake over Nanasawa's bleeding body. "Get away from her!" He screamed, tackling him off her and knocking the stake out of his hand. Kagome stood froze at what she was seeing. Inuyasha was fighting with Naraku to protect Nanasawa. Something she believed he would have done for her…before all of this had happened.
Inuyasha struggled with Naraku as the rolled along on the floor. Naraku quickly reached for a stake on Inuyasha's belt and stabbed him in the side. Inuyasha cried in pain and rolled off Naraku, who quickly got to his feet. Inuyasha grasped the stake and with a powerful tug, pulled it from his side. He then discarded it and continued to fight Naraku.
Kagome watched as the stake that had been inside Inuyasha landed at her feet, soaked with his blood. As she looked at it, an idea formed in her mind. Inuyasha had already drunk some of her blood. Maybe if she drank his purified blood, he would turn back to normal or even human. She quickly picked up the stake and looked around. It wasn't as if she was going to find any holy water around here. But then she saw it. A small shattered bottle.
She quickly ran over and looked carefully at the pieces. Lying a rather large shattered piece was a small pool of Holy water. She carefully picked it up and poured it onto the blood. At first if bubbled and then turned colors. It turned from a dark red to a dark purple. With a scream of pain, Kagome saw Naraku fall to the ground at Inuyasha's blood soaked claws. Hoping that it would work and she wasn't going to be a vampire, Kagome licked some of the strange blood and swallowed. The taste was horrible and she was frozen with fear at what would happen. What if there wasn't enough holy water to purify it? What if She ended up the one to change? All these questions and more ran through her mind as she waited for something to happen. Soon, a scream of pain came from Inuyasha. She looked over to see him on his knees holding his head. His hair began to change silver and grow shorter. His dog-ears changed back to silver. His claws grew shorter and the wings slowly grew into his back. With a final scream of pain he fell forward, still on the ground.
Kagome ran over to his side, crying from the sounds of his screams. "Inuyasha…Inuyasha!" She cried, shaking him gently. Inuyasha's eyes slowly opened to reveal the golden eyes Kagome had grown to love. "What happened?" He asked slowly. Kagome's hear leaped at the thought that he couldn't remember. But as she watched his eyes grow wide, she knew that he had remembered. As they stared at each other, a cough from across the room caught their attention.
Inuyasha walked over to see Nanasawa lying on the floor shaking. He bent down and lifted her head. She looked at him lovingly, knowing that he was once again the hanyou she had loved. "I guess this is it…do what you have to do." She said weakly, turning her head away from him. He slowly turned it back towards her and looked deep into her eyes. "Why did you do it Nanasawa?" he asked. "I didn't really want to rule…I just wanted to have someone to love. The man I had fallen in love with so many years ago was mortal and was afraid of vampires. When he found out, he quickly left me. With no home and no love I returned to a child like state were I grew and became stronger…I just wanted a reason to have you by my side." She said, tears coming to her eyes as she told it.
Inuyasha pulled out a stake slowly, knowing he couldn't leave her to die this way. "Wait…before you do that…could I have a goodbye kiss…I'll understand if you say no." she said weakly. Inuyasha looked at her with pity and nodded. It was her dying wish and he would not refuse it. He bent in slowly, placing a soft kiss upon her lips. She then closed her eyes and Inuyasha laid her on the ground. Then with a quickly stab, ran the stake through her heart.
As he climbed to his feet, he felt Kagome's hand fall onto his shoulder. "I'm sorry for everything Inuyasha…" She cried, not knowing what else to say. Inuyasha slowly placed his hand on top of hers and sighed. "It's okay Kagome. You were young and she was forcing you to do things that you didn't want to do." He said slowly. With one last look at Nanasawa's peaceful face, they made their way out of the throne room.
Epilogue
Soon after getting out of the abandon building, Inuyasha and friends had the task of exterminating the entire vampire left. After two years of battling, the war still rages on. Miroku and Sango soon fell for each to her and are expected to be married in a year or so. Kagome and Inuyasha worked out heir problems with his past and soon fell for each other. They are to be married as soon as the war is to end.
But it is unknown when all vampires will be dealt with and what no foe is leading them. The only thing they are sure of is that they must all die; none are to be left to walk the earth.
