Chapter 14: Sakura

Shippo ran out of the castle. He had heard Inuyasha scream Kikyo's name. Both Gegin and Kai were holding Inuyasha. Kagome stood closer to the castle. In her hands she held the almost completed Shikon Jewel. The jewel was glowing and the other shards in the field were glowing. The one in Kohaku's back and the ones in Kouga's legs were glowing.

"Kagome! Are you okay?" Shippo tugged at her clothing. She looked down at him.

"Yes, I'm fine. Are you okay?" she asked. Shippo nodded his head.

"What happened?" Shippo was shivering in fear. He noticed some of the people that were there in the beginning were gone.

"Shippo, four people died and Inuyasha in injured." Kagome was trying to force back her tears.

Sesshomaru put down his mate and checked to see if she was hurt. Satisfied that she was unhurt he turned around to look at Naraku. 'That bastard is going to pay!' he swore to himself. He looked at Inuyasha. He was struggling against the two demons that held him. Murder was dancing across his eyes.

Sesshomaru readied his sword. Naraku was laughing at the distress he caused Inuyasha. Without a second thought he charged and sliced Naraku in half.

"Naraku, you will die before this moonless night is over." He dodged a variety tentacles. He did a back flip before landing a few feet away.

"You fools haven't realized that I have won, yet you still foolishly try to defeat me." He sneered. "I will kill all of you then I will take the jewel."

Miroku listened to Naraku's words. He looked at everyone for a brief moment to see who was capable of fighting Naraku or not. Sango couldn't fight Naraku because her brother had her full attention. Kouga couldn't fight because he was dead to the world. Well, he was not really dead but unconciess. Kagome couldn't fight because she was heavy with child. Shippo was too weak fight. Inuyasha was human and he was injured. He couldn't join the fight till his demon powers returned.

Now Sesshomaru was able to fight and currently attacking Naraku. Yuki was stunned and was coming to other than that was able to fight. Sakura he could see readied her weapon and joined in the attack on Naraku. Kirara was attacking the Saimyosho. Gegin and Kai were trying to protect Inuyasha and Kagome. They were also trying to keep Inuyasha from joining the battle.

'What is going on? Why do I feel like that serving Naraku is wrong? This woman I feel like I should be helping her not fighting her.' Kohaku thought. He swung his weapon again. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks. "Who are you to me?" Kohaku stopped to ask her.

"Kohaku, I'm your sister. Naraku is just using you. Oh, Kohaku!" Sango cried. A low heart beat started. Kohaku gasped as pain coursed through his body. The jewel in his back throbbed and glowed. "Kohaku, what's wrong?" Kohaku fell to the ground. Discarding her weapon Sango ran towards her brother. "KOHAKU!" She scooped him up to her chest in a tight embrace.

The jewel let off a low but powerful heart beat in her fingers. She looked at it. The jewel was glowing. She looked around the area that was declared as their battlefield. Kouga's legs were glowing where the jewel shards were. Kohaku's shard was glowing as Sango was holding him. The jewel throbbed again.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Shippo was concerned by the look Kagome had on her face.

"Shippo, the jewel is doing something funny." Kagome gripped tighter on the jewel.

"Huh?" Shippo barely said before the Jewel freed itself from Kagome's grasp. It floated in the air. After a moment it had throbbed louder this time. The jewel shards jumped out of Kouga's legs and Kohaku's back. They fused themselves with the Jewel. The Jewel fell back to earth into Kagome's hands.

The jewel is complete.

"KOHAKU, NOO!" Sango screamed as the jewel shard left her brother's body. His body became cold and lifeless in her arms. She buried her face in his chest and cried. Naraku's laughter was heard when everyone stopped fighting to see the jewel put itself back together. Naraku laughed as he watched his little puppet die in his sister's arms.

"Another nuisance gone. How pleasant this is for me and might I add convenient." Naraku smiled. His enemies were falling one by one. Nothing could go wrong now. Kikyo, Keiko, Kagura, Kanna, and now Kohaku were dead. Soon they all will die.

Miroku ran over to Sango along with Kirara. He kneeled down next to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sango, I'm sorr…"

"Miroku, Naraku will pay for this." She stood up. Her whole body was shaking in rage. She walked o where here weapon lay. She picked up her boomerang and her sword. Turning around she gave Naraku a death glare.

Inuyasha watched the scene unfold. He had to do something before he lost all of the people he cared for. If only he could get those two idiots holding him to let go. The wound on his back was hurting like hell. His eyes were beginning to become blurry. The world was slowly spinning. He fell.

"Inuyasha, are you…" Kai noticed Inuyasha's breathing becoming labored. Inuyasha began to fall to the ground. He had lost a lot of blood. He caught him before he reached the ground. His brother was holding him as well. "Gegin, let's take him and retreat to the castle." Gegin nodded as they began to move toward Kagome.

"Kagome, let's head toward the castle so we can treat his wounds." Gegin stated.

""Alright lets hurry." Kagome picked up Shippo.

'Do they really think they can escape me? Their move is futile.' Naraku watch as Inuyasha, Kagome and the other three demons head toward the castle. 'I will kill Inuyasha before he reaches the castle.' A small malevolent smile graced his lips. Sakura charged him but was sent flying into a nearby tree. Sango and Miroku Joined in to try and attack. Kirara dove in from the air to grab one of the tentacles. Sesshomaru blasted Tokijin into the middle of Naraku's stomach. Naraku laughed as miasma surrounded him and the nearby fighters.

"Oww, that bastard!" Sakura stood up. The sky was slowly getting lighter. She watched the miasma fill the area. Then to her horror she saw Naraku jump out of the miasma in the direction where her father was. The look on the beast's face was sickening. A tentacles shot toward her father. The first one went through Gegin's head and another went through Kai's neck. The last tentacle was headed toward her father's heart. "FATHER!"

Inuyasha turned around to see Tentacles kill the two demons holding him. He looked to his horror to see a body jump in front of him take the blow that was meant for him. His eyes widen when he relived that Sakura was the one who jumped in front of him. "Sakura!"

Then the sun rose from behind the horizon.

A/n: Sorry the chapter is so short. It's hard to type with my dog chewing the keyboard and my nephew hitting me. Forgive me! I will try to make the next chapter longer to make up for this one. You all must think I like killing off the characters. In a way I do, but this story I promise will have a happy ending for I'm a sucker for happy endings.

I just noticed something... I've been killing people off in fours. What do you know? I bet all of you are chanting... "Die Naraku, DIE!" He will die. he he. 'cause there won't be a happy ending if he lives.

I typed and posted the first chapter to that idea I told you about in the last chapter. Read it and tell me what you think about it. It's called (if you don't remeber) Hidden Secrets.

And now to thank my reviewers…

Sillylilgirl- Well I wrote the first chapter for the story and posted it.Four more deaths entered this chapter. Sad isn't it?

Marauder Megan- Thank you and I did post the first chapter to that idea. I thought about making a squeal to this. I was think that I write something like a prelude or something that tells how Keiko and Inu got together and up to the part where Keiko go crazy and tries to kill Inu and why Sesshy hates her.

Sveta89- here's the next chapter and thanks for reviewing!
