Author's note: I don't own Slayers or Inuyasha, obviously. Other wise this would be an episode, and written a lot better. But, for now I guess we'll have to settle for this.

Chapter 9: The End or is it Merely the Beginning

The once lushes forest, which had been filled with life, was turned into a barren waste land. Silence echoed throughout the burnt forest as Inuyasha and his group looked on at Naraku. There he stood in all his demon glory. No longer was he a weak half daemon that would have to feed off the bodies of lesser daemons to gain power.

"Has my new form made you all speechless," said a very satisfied Naraku.

"Hardly, just because you got a new upgrade doesn't mean I can't send you to hell," roared Inuyasha as he withdrew his sword to slay Naraku.

Unfortunate, for Inuyasha his head on attack coasted him. As he leapt into the air to strike the fiend an invisible barrier appeared, which prevented his assault.

"Are you so foolish to attack me head on Inuyasha? Then allow me to demonstrate what a full demon's power can do," said Naraku as he blasted Inuyasha out of the sky.

Inuyasha gripped his bleeding stomach. The attack had gone through his stomach, and now blood was poring out of the half demon.

Kagome ran to Inuyasha, and said, "Inuyasha you're hurt. We must retreat."

Naraku laughed at what the girl said, "You're not going anywhere. You're all going to die here!"

"Boy, he sure is full of himself isn't he Xellos", said Lina telepathically.

"Lina, why must we have to sit here? Can't we just kill him and go home?" question Xellos.

"Xellos are you getting bored. I thought you loved messing with people's life," replied Lina.

"No, just yours," he said smiling even more.

As Xellos and Lina were conversing Sango was the next in trying to kill Naraku. Sango threw her large boomerang at Naraku but, he caught it and through it back at her with lightning fast speed. Luckily she was able to avoid the projectile, however; she didn't have any time to celebrate for Naraku appeared right behind her and grabbed her arm. He then proceeded into twisting it in an unnatural position. Then he spoke into Sango's ear.

"Poor little Sango you finally get reunited with your brother only to die a few months later. How ironic, isn't it? Just think if you had allied yourself with me in the beginning then you wouldn't be in this situation, but it's not to late Sango you can still join me. After all I use some better minions than Kagura, and my other incarnations. So, what do you say?"

"I'd whether die than work for you," hissed Sango.

Naraku said in a hateful voice, "Then die."

With that he broke Sango's arm and punched her in the face. The force of the punch threw her into a tree, were she now lay comatose.

After seeing his beloved Sango fall lifelessly to the ground an enraged Miroku charged wildly at Naraku. Miroku swung his staff at Naraku, and Naraku evaded every attack with ease. Finally, the demon grew tired of the futile attempts to hurt him, and therefore he went on the offensive. He grabbed the staff with one hand, and with his claw hand he trusted his arm into Miroku's chest. Miroku was coughing up blood and spit in Naraku's face. When Naraku with drew his arm he threw Miroku's broken body next to trees.

Shippo and Kohaku attacked next.

Shippo did his fox fire, but he was more of an annoyance than a threat to Naraku; while Kohaku aimed his chained scythe at the demon. Naraku dodged the attacks and jumped up in the air and grabbed Shippo. He then threw him into the tree were Sango and Miroku lay unconscious.

"I'm sure making quite a collection. Kohaku would you like to join?" Naraku said laughing.

Kohaku swung the chain at him again, but this time instead of dodging he caught it, and threw the blade into Kohaku's back.

"Foolish boy," Naraku said as he stepped over the fallen boy.

Sesshoumaru withdrew his Tokigen, and said, "You will not defeat me as easily."

"Good because I was hoping to break a sweat today," said a cocky Naraku.

Naraku was the first to attack. He lunged at the Lord of the West with lightning fast speed. However, Sesshoumaru was able to defend himself with the Tokigen. As the battle waged on it was obvious that the two demons were evenly matched. Naraku would attack, and Sesshoumaru block; and vies versa. This went on for thirty minutes until Naraku finally gained the upper hand, when he used his wings to create a shield. His wings became a hard heavy metal as Sesshoumaru tried to cut into Naraku's defenses. Final, the wings opened, and they shot out several small spears from every direction. Sesshoumaru evaded all, but one which struck his leg.

Everyone seemed down for the count as Xellos and Lina were conversing. They seemed unaware that their friends were in trouble.

Kagome turned to Xellos and Lina, looks like they won't be much help. Looks like it's up to me, thought Kagome as she aimed her arrow at Naraku.

The arrow hit Naraku dead center in the shoulder. The demon had focused all his attention on Sesshoumaru, and forgot all about the annoying human girl.

Naraku pulled the arrow out of his shoulder, and lunched for Kagome. Suddenly out of no where Inuyasha appeared and produced the Back-Lash-Wave. This seriously injured the demon, but did not kill him. However, the jewel did hurl out of his body.As the jewel flew through the air Xellos caught it.

"Looks like they're having trouble maybe we should help them out," said Lina as she stared at the fallen form of Inuyasha and the others.

"I guess, after all you were the one to get them into this mess," said Xellos.

"WHAT? You were the one who gave the jewel to Naraku," said an enraged Lina.

"Yes, but need I remind you if it hadn't been for me then you would have done the exact same thing," replied Xellos.

"That's beside the point. Let's just tell them how to kill Naraku," Lina huffed.

Lina telepathically contacted Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru can you hear me," asked Lina.

" Lina?" asked a tired Sesshoumaru.

"That's right, now Sessy if you want to kill Naraku then use your sword of life."

"But, that's only a sword of healing. It won't work Lina."

"You won't now until you try."

Sesshoumaru got up and withdrew the Tetsaga. The sword pulsed, and with one stroke Naraku screamed in pure agony.

Naraku was being ripped out from the inside until he glowed white and exploded. Before, he could regenerate, Inuyasha used his Wind-Scare and Naraku was no more.

"Is he really dead," asked Kagome as she supported Inuyasha.

"Yes, he's really dead," spoke Miroku as he checked his hand, which no longer possessed the wind tunnel.

During the battle Lina had healed all of Inuyasha's fallen friends, and went to heal Inuyasha.

As she did he said, "Don't come near me traitor! You didn't even help fight Naraku."

It was not Lina who defended herself, but Sesshoumaru, "Inuyasha, are you really such a fool. Look at your friends who moments ago lay lifeless. If it had not been for Lina they would all be dead. Nor would I have thought to use the Tetsaga as soon as I did. So, I believe you owe her an apology."

Inuyasha said nothing, and Lina proceeded in healing Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru.

Finally, when the group was all healed they traveled to Kaede's village to celebrate the defeat of Naraku. With a lot of convincing they managed to get Sesshoumaru to join in after he had picked up Rin and Jaken.

The group celebrated with a big feast, and wine. There was every dish imaginable at the feast. Turkey, dressing, potatoes, carrot, ham, salad, sushi, other types of fish, and many other foods filled the tables in the village meeting hall. Also, every desert that could be produced in that day of age was there.

Everyone drank, and was merry. There wasn't even any fighting between siblings, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. During the feast Inuyasha asked a question that was on everyone's mind.

"I wonder what happened to the jewel."

"Yeah me too," replied almost every body else.

"Oh, you mean this thing," said Xellos as he held the jewel.

Inuyasha lunged at Xellos, "give that to me!"

"Now, now Inuyasha, that's not the way to get something you want. You have to ask nicely," replied Xellos.

"Xellos, give me the shard now!" screamed Inuyasha.

"Now, that's not how you ask for thing," Xellos said wagging his finger.

With that said Xellos did something no one expected, he crushed the shard into oblivion.

"XELLOS I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" cried Inuyasha.

"SIT BOY!"

BOOM! Inuyasha's face was planted in the ground.

"Kagome why did you do that," pouted Inuyasha.

"You were getting out of control, and we're all trying to enjoy are meal; when you have to go attack Xellos for that stupid jewel," replied Kagome before she resumed eating her chicken.

"Besides Inuyasha, that jewel was more trouble than it was worth," said Lina.

Finally, a few day after the feast Lina and Xellos said their good byes. Lina gave Kagome and Inuyasha pendants, so they could cross over between the past and present. When that was all said and done the two other worlders made their way back home.

"Finally, were home Xellos," said Lina.

Xellos smiled and turned to Lina.

"Yes, indeed," said Xellos. He then pulled her into his arms, and kissed her on the lips.

Lina was shocked to say the least, but she quickly got over her shock and kissed him back.

"What was that for?" Lina asked when Xellos withdrew his lips from hers.

Xellos still had Lina in his arms, but he did not answer right away.

"Lina when Naraku took you I realized I really liked you. Maybe even more, and I was wondering if you could give me a chance to have a relationship, which is more than just friends," said Xellos in a serious tone.

Another shock for Lina today, not only did Xellos just kiss her, but he wanted to be her lover.

Lina answered yes with another passionate kiss.

Six months have passed since Xellos asked Lina to be his.

Xellos and Lina were sitting at a nice restaurant eating dinner. They had talked about life, and talked about how Beast Master had to give up her favorite servant to L-sama. Lina expressed how happy she was since she would get to see him more often. They ate and talked a little while longer, then the waiter asked if they would like dessert. They both said yes. Lina ordered chocolate cake, while Xellos ordered cherry pie.

Finally, the dessert came and the waiter said enjoy as he left the two to finish their meal. Lina noticed that there was a ring on the cake.

Xellos took Lina's hand and said, "Lina, we've known each other for a long time now, and I can't think of spending the rest of eternity with any other being so, Lina will you marry me?"

Lina was now crying tears of joy. She said, "Of course I will!"

Xellos cleaned off the ring with his napkin, and placed it on Lina's finger. After dinner the two went to a play, and the rest of the night was wonderful for couple.
