Reincarnation Chapter 2, an inuyasha fanfic

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, the crew, or Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru… drools

Okay. I am going to put this at the beginning of every chapter except the one after chapter two. I would call it chapter three, but I already have one. So the one with the notes on it is the one I won't put this on because… it's a bunch of notes! Don't assume that everything written here happens in every chapter. Because it doesn't Also, as my Algebra II teacher said last year, 'When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." As she said 'ass', 'you', and 'me', she pointed to the words inside the word 'assume'. Assume. Cool huh? Learn something new everyday! Now, go tell your folks. Then, come back and read. Then R&R.

Italicized words means the person is thinking to themselves in their own heads or something needs to be emphasized.
'Words written in these' means the person is speaking to someone else in their heads. Confusing I know, but you'll know it when you see it.
"Words written in these" means… Do I really need to explain this one?

I do not know what the future is like. I am purely guessing so no harping, okay? I am also guessing on what Kaede looked like when she was young. I've only seen her when she was young one time and that's right after Kikyou seals Inuyasha to a tree and then died. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. Just try to be nice as you yell at me, okay? Also, just because it says y'all somewhere doesn't mean they are in Texas. I am in Texas and the word y'all is something I say all the time. 'Kay?

I am very sorry if I have misspelled anything in Japanese, like names or the words above. I know 'ou' makes a long o sound. Like Shippo should probably be Shippou since Kikyou and Kouga follow that rule. But, I did Kouga like that from the very beginning and Kikyou became a sudden habit. Everyone else I saw it first as I have spelled it. If I have defined anything wrong, please tell me. It's not considered a flame if I ask for it. I promise. And if I've misspelled anything in English and you catch it let me know. I am a real big spelling and grammar freak. It's… Never mind. Also, my friend helped me write this. So anything wrong or stupid is her fault. wink wink And the cursing. That's all hers too. With that being said…

Inuyasha swung the Tetsuaiga at the youkai he was currently fighting and killed it before jumping over to Kagome, picking her up, and jumping into a tree. From there he surveyed the damage. Sango was weeping over Kohaku's lifeless body while Kirara fought to keep the youkai away from them. Miroku stood on the other side of them, using his staff to do the same.
Naraku's poisonous bees hovered overhead, preventing the monk from using the air void in his left palm. Naraku had realized quickly the powers of Sesshomaru's sword and took it from him. Tensuaiga floated overhead in a protective sphere, out of the reach of anyone at the battle. Kagome's arrows lay forgotten somewhere while Kagome lay in the arms of Inuyasha. And Kouga…
Kouga and his pack littered the ground. They had fallen quickly. Kagome cried for them now. "Why Kouga?" she asked with tears streaming down her face. "He was kind and nice to us. We asked him to join us. He could still be alive if we hadn't asked for his help. He and his pack could still be teasing us if we… It's all my fault!" she wailed as she buried her head into Inuyasha's shoulder. He held her close as he watched the battle below him. "He could still be alive Inuyasha! They all could"
"It's okay Kagome," he whispered. "Everything will be okay." Even as he said this, his mind screamed otherwise. Baka! he yelled at himself. She's dying in your arms right now! Half of you died throughout the day and the rest of you won't make it through this one. You're all dead. This battle was over before it even began.
"How could Kikyou have been so wrong?" Kagome whispered, no longer having the strength to shout or cry. Tears fell down her face slowly now. Inuyasha looked at the pile of dirt and clay that used to be the Miko and shuddered. When Naraku found out that she had betrayed him, he killed her by taking her souls one by one. "Inuyasha!" Kagome's gasp brought him out of his state of deep thought and back to his senses. "Tonight is your night! Oh no"
Inuyasha felt his senses start to grow dull. It started to get darker, and he could no longer hear each of his friends moaning with pain as they fought. Crap! Get out of the tree! his mind shouted at him. He jumped to the ground with Kagome in his arms, shielding her as best he could while he fell and rolled. "Are you okay?" he asked as he stood once more.
"I never told you," Kagome whispered. He wasn't completely human yet. It was getting harder to hear, but he could nonetheless. His ears were still there, and his nails were longer than any normal human's would have been. "I love you so much Inuyasha. I should have told you." He felt her shudder in his arms as his ears slid from the top of his head to the sides where they became normal ears. "I wish… I had told you… sooner"
As his claws shrank to become nails, Kagome took her last breath. Inuyasha slowly laid her on the ground beside the tree they had just came down from while he cried for the second time in his life. "I love you too Kagome. I wish I had told you sooner as well." Suddenly, he stood and turned until he faced Naraku. No longer crying, he began to walk towards the cause of all his problems.
While he walked toward the hanyou, a centipede youkai attacked Inuyasha from his left. A large gash appeared on his left leg. Another bug youkai cut Inuyasha across his back. The blood fell smoothly from both injuries as a monkey youkai jumped on him, knocked him down, and proceeded to beat him. Inuyasha tossed him to the side with strength no human possessed, stood, and continued his walk to death. By the time he reached Naraku, he was bleeding more than breathing. But he wasn't the only one hurt.
Kirara's white fur was stained red, Miroku was clutching his chest as he fought, Sesshomaru's silver hair clung to a cut on his face, and Sango - Sango lay motionless over her brother's body. Naraku laughed. "Little hanyou," he taunted, "did you really think you could ever win? Even with your youkai friends you have lost. You're either dead or dying, all of you"
Oh how Inuyasha wanted to rip his throat out. But he didn't. He did have a plan however. In the past month, Inuyasha had discovered that even though he and his brother didn't get along, they were bonded. And this bond allowed them to communicate without anyone else hearing them if they concentrated hard enough. He tried this now. 'Oi, Sesshomaru'
'I'm busy! What do you want?' Sesshomaru asked, outwardly groaning as he fought another youkai.
'I want you to rip Naraku's throat out when I tell you to'
'Gladly.' Using his claws, Sesshomaru killed the youkai who had drawn his blood. Using the few seconds he had to breathe, Sesshomaru looked around. The human girl and her brother were dead, and the monk would soon follow. He watched the cat youkai take another blow to the head. The wolf and his pack were dead. Kikyou was gone, and Inuyasha's wench lay motionless next to a tree at his right. That would mean Inuyasha is… Oh shit, he thought as he spotted his brother. Looking up into the sky, he confirmed his thoughts. New moon. He's human. And he'll die soon too. I can smell it on him. A roar ripped Sesshomaru's gaze over to where Miroku and Kirara were still fighting.
Actually, it was Kirara who growled in pain. It would be her last. Then, he watched as a spider youkai killed the monk from behind. He and Inuyasha were the only two left now. All youkai attacks suddenly stopped as everyone turned to watch Naraku and Inuyasha hash it out in words before the actual deciding battle began. "Don't forget Naraku, you're a hanyou too," Sesshomaru heard his younger half-brother say.
"Ah, but who is the weaker at the moment?" Naraku laughed. As he threw his head back in laughter, Sesshomaru heard his brother's voice inside his head again. It was hard to hear; Sesshomaru had to strain to make out the words.
'Sesshomaru, this is getting harder to do now. Attack now! Hurry!' Inuyasha knew why it was getting harder and it had nothing to do with the fact that he was human now. He and Sesshomaru were still brothers and the bond still existed. It was getting harder because he was dying. And he knew it. Sesshomaru disappeared, using the stealth and speed only the Lord of the Western Lands had. "I may be human now," Inuyasha taunted, "but I won't be for long!" This only caused more laughter from Naraku. At the last second, Sesshomaru slowed and thrust his hand toward Naraku's throat.
But Naraku seemed to know their plan all along. He grabbed both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha by the throat and held them in front of him. "I ask you again, did you really think you could ever win? Take a look around brothers. All of your friends are dead. And soon, you will join them in hell." Some of the youkai growled in agreement.
"You first," Sesshomaru growled as he thrust his hand into Naraku's stomach and pulled it upward until he reached his throat. Then he pulled his hand out of Naraku's body, taking several pieces of Naraku with him. The grasp about their necks tightened as their captor struggled to stay conscious.
'Good-bye… Sesshomaru,' Inuyasha thought to his youkai half-brother. 'Good-bye, brother.' Those were the last words ever spoken or thought by Inuyasha.
'Good-bye brother,' Sesshomaru answered. He watched his brother die before he started to black out. Both Naraku and Sesshomaru died at the same time.

Back at Kaede's hut, Shippo was pacing nervously in front of the small fire Kaede had been starting. "They're going to be okay," he told himself. "They're strong, and they have Kouga and Sesshomaru. They'll win. We'll be rid of Naraku forever. Kirara will help. She's a good fighter. They'll make it. They will make it. Right Kaede?" the kitsune asked the older woman.
"What do you think Shippo? Do ye think they will make it?" she asked.
Shippo paused before answering. "No. I don't." Kaede's eyes went wide at the declaration. "They won't make it. Naraku's too strong." Silent tears formed and fell.
"And why do ye say that child?" Kaede asked, standing and walking over to the child to comfort him.
"Because we're about to die as well. Look," he said, pointing to the door. Kaede stood and walked over to the door. Opening it, she saw the hoards and hoards of demons that were on their way to them. "They failed, and now the youkai are coming for us." His silent tears suddenly had sound as he started wailing. But his prophecy was true, they did die. Kaede was the first to go because she was protecting the young kitsune. "Why couldn't you protect us Kagome? Inuyasha?" Shippo whispered before he too was killed.

"Mama?" Sota called from the front door. "Mama, there's some guys here to see you!" With that said, he ran back into the living room to continue his game. Mrs. Higurashi and ji-chan came to the door and invited the men in.
"Can I get you gentlemen something drink?" Mrs. Higurashi asked politely. Both of the men declined, but did come into the house. They were shown into the living room where the they decided to remain standing. Not wanting to be rude, Mrs. Higurashi stayed standing as well. Ji-chan, however, sat down. He didn't like the men for some reason. But they would be leaving soon so there were no worries. "Is there a reason you are here?" she asked as politely as she could.
"Yes ma'am there is," one of the men answered. Suddenly, they pulled out twin pistols with silencers on the barrels and shot the two adults in the living room. Sota turned at the small noise and started crying when he saw the blood on the carpet.
"Mama! Ji-chan!" he cried. Forgetting his game instantly, he stood to run to his mother and grandfather. "Mama! Ji-chan! Don't leave me! Kagome! Where are you?" he cried. One man put his gun away while the other pulled the trigger again. Sota fell over his mother's body. They were found a few days later by some of Kagome's friends who were coming by to check on her.

A/N: Okay, I know this was sad and depressing, but it had to be done because it completely shifts gears in the next few chapters. You'll see what I mean when I post again. And please, don't hurt me for killing Sesshomaru. I didn't want to but the little green faeries and leprechauns made me do it! deep breath The next chapter will be a bit confusing because it's not a chapter; it's a chapter helper. You'll need it badly so DO NOT skip it. Or you'll be lost and then I'll have to beat you with Sango's weapon of choice. I can't spell it so I won't try to and end up butchering it to death. Okay. Owari!
