Long Awaited Confessions chapter 6 - Finally
They collected speed as they reached the edge of the town. As usual Naraku picked an obvious
place for his castle placing it right between borders of the town and a forest. Though not visible to
the naked eye they could still tell it was there just by the uneasy feeling in the pits of their stomachs.
Inuyasha who was in front of the gang was as he had been for the past few days was once again lost
in thought "I'm coming Kagome! It's not much further now! Naraku prepare to meet your
end!" His eyes were transfixed on the spot at which Naraku's castle stood. Though for the most
part they were focused ahead. Shippo began noticing how deserted the town was. This was typical
of Naraku but not to this extent. Every house in the town was in ruins not one was left standing. The
town seemed to have been ravaged by someone or something. Absolutely everything was destroyed
personal items like clothing was scattered everywhere leaving almost no ground free of debris.
"Naraku certainly appears to have done a number on this town." Miroku said with a deep frown on
his face. "It'll be the last amount of damage he will ever cause!" Inuyasha shouted back his voice
deeper and angrier than usual. Kouga had caught up with Inuyasha a little but was still sure to keep
his distance. He dropped back to where Kirara and Sango were to talk with the others. Placing his
hand to the side of his mouth in an attempt to stop his voice reaching Inuyasha ears he said "Damn is
he always this angry? I mean I've seen him pissed but never like this, what's so different this time?"
Sango looked over at him noticing a tiny amount of fear in his eyes. "Naraku killed Kikyo his former
love, took Kagome from him and while doing so posed as Inuyasha tricking Kagome into thinking it
was him who hurt her. The only way I know about that is because I heard him talking in his sleep."
Sango said barley above a whisper. "He really did all that? Damn that is low even for Naraku."
Kouga whispered back. "This time with all of us I don't think there is a chance in hell of Naraku
escaping." Miroku said loud enough for Inuyasha to hear. "Your damn right monk! There is no way
he's getting outta this one! Not with all the shit he's done to us!" Inuyasha shouted in response to
Miroku's comment. Nearing the edge of the barrier they slowed down coming to a stop two feet in
front of it. Inuyasha wiped out his sword and closed his eyes as the rest of them watched it turn a
bright red. "WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled at the top of his lungs sending three bright red streaks of
light flying at the barrier. As the attack peaked at the top of the bubble like barrier it began to split in
two and disappear. Inuyasha watched with slight pride as the barrier dispersed after just one blow all
the while huffing to regain a normal breathing rate. "LET'S GO!" he hollered back at the group who
were watching in awe. Sango was the first to regain her composure realizing Inuyasha had spoken.
"Right let's go" she said as she gave Miroku a small poke in the ribs to snap him out of it. They
headed towards the spot where the barrier had been moments earlier and began their descent of a
hill that sloped down to the castle, Inuyasha in front. He yelled at the top of his lungs "NARAKU
YOU FOWL SAD EXCUSE FOR A DEMON SHOW YOURSELF!" He raised the Tetsusaiga
prepared for battle. They had reached the courtyard of the castle. "NARAKU YOU BASTARD
GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" Kouga yelled. Malicious laughter could be heard all around.
"Returned for your women I suspect! Oh look you even brought the pathetic wolf demon in a skirt.
Do you really need that much back up? Not man enough to face me yourself I suspect. Though,
come to think of it, this is a pretty pitiful. You a mere half demon being backed up by a women, a
weakling fox demon, a monk and a pathetic wolf demon in a skimpy outfit it's almost laughable."
Naraku said with a bit of a chuckle. This fueled Inuyasha's anger greatly making the crack of his
knuckles echo throughout the yard. Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and even Shippo growled in anger.
"Someone seems upset." Naraku said emerging from the darkness. He was standing in a door way in
the front of the courtyard. "WHERE IS KAGOME YOU BASTARD!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Kagome? Oh yes your beloved Kagome, it is a shame that she hates you. Kagome! Kagome
dearest! Come out someone wishes to speak with you!" Naraku called out. Kagome appeared in
the doorway behind Naraku and wrapped her arms around one of his. It made Inuyasha's blood
boil. She looked up at Naraku and said "Who?" she glanced around at the group and her eyes
locked with Inuyasha's. Her heart beat quickened with fear. Inuyasha could smell it in the air.
"Kagome? It's me...don't you recognize me?" Inuyasha said to Kagome. Her eyes filling with tears
of fear and confusion as she buried her head in Naraku's shoulder. She began to think to herself "He
attacked me but why? When I look in his eyes why do I feel such warmth and so many strong
feelings? He was the one who attacked me but why do I feel this way I'm drawn to him but he
tried to kill me What's wrong with me?" she thought as her tears rolled down her cheeks and
onto the floor. Sango was starring up at her best friend realizing she didn't even notice her existence.
"Kagome don't you remember us? I'm your best friend. I care about you so much and you barley
even noticed I was here..." she said her words filled with pain and anger. "Naraku! You have taken
almost everything from me, my town, my family, You are even still in possession of my little brother,
but I REFUSE TO LET YOU TAKE ONE OF THE LAST THINGS I HAVE!" Sango ended in a
shout throwing the Hiraikotsu at Naraku's and dropping to her knees in sobs. Naraku easily dodged
Sango's attack because in her anger she didn't take enough time to aim. The Hiraikotsu came
whizzing back hitting the ground behind Sango. Miroku walked over and knelt down next to Sango
"Don't worry Sango we are going to get Kagome and Kohaku back." he said with an encouraging
smile even though deep inside he had his doubts. Sango flung her arms around Miroku and pulled
him close crying her eyes out on his shoulder. He gently rubbed her back. "Awwww how kawaii.
Hate to break up the little love fest but…." Naraku said as he sent a demon flying at Miroku and
Sango. Kirara jumped in and grabbed Miroku by the collar pulling him and Sango out of the way as
Kouga took care of the demon. "Hah hah hah. So you took care of one little demon, I applaud you
but let's see what you make of these!" he finished in an elevated tone as hundreds of demons came
flying in surrounding them all. They immediately sprung into action. Inuyasha was getting demons by
the hundreds with his wind scar. Kouga was behind him killing demons with brute strength. Miroku
and Sango were near by battling demons the smash of Sango's boomerang could be heard
accompanied by the clinging of Miroku's staff and the howl of his wind tunnel. Kirara and Shippo
were taking out the least of the demons but still doing their part. The three groups made a sort of
triangle formation as they battled what seemed like a never ending barrage of demons. "Inuyasha"
Kouga said to get his attention "Go get Kagome I can handle things here." Inuyasha glanced at
Kouga before nodding in agreement. Inuyasha lifted his sword and busted through the surrounding
demons landing prepared to face Naraku. "Inuyasha shouldn't you be out there helping your pitiful
friends?" Naraku sneered. "Naraku! Return Kagome's memories now and get the hell away from
her.!" Inuyasha said in a demanding tone. "And why exactly should I do that?" Naraku asked in a
disrespectful tone. "Cause if you don't I'll rip you to shreds!" Inuyasha cried in return. "Ha- as if you
would attack me with Kagome so close." Naraku said pulling her a bit closer. Inuyasha knew he
couldn't do that so he looked over to her. "Kagome I know you think I attacked you but if you have
any doubt at all then step away from him.. Please" Inuyasha said with pleading eyes. Kagome had no
idea what to do listen to a man who she remembers attacking her or stay by Naraku who she
thought to have saved her. "What should I do? I mean something defiantly doesn't feel quite
right about this Naraku guy but I am supposed to listen to a man who nearly killed me? What
is this talk of someone taking my memories? It would make sense. What is that supposed to
mean?" she thought. Kagome could hear a women's voice in her head say "Always follow your
heart sweetie" an image of a women with short dark hair and a warm smile popped into her head.
"Mother? It must be I can feel it... mom?…..mom where are you?" she said quietly. Kagome let go
of Naraku's arm and took a small step away from him. "Kagome are you going to trust the guy who
almost killed you over me?" he said in a slightly threatening tone taking a step towards her. Kagome
was too close to Naraku for Inuyasha to attack. He was about to leap to her aid when he felt a
sharp pain in his shoulder from behind. A demon had bitten him. The demons were still appearing by
the thousands and his friends couldn't hold them off any longer. Inuyasha started destroying demons
left and right momentarily forgetting about Kagome. "Kagome answer me is it your savior or your
attacker?" he said angrily as he was barring down on Kagome. She noticed the red glint to his eyes
and it sent a visible shiver through her body. "Do I scare you?" Naraku asked. Kagome was almost
pinned against the wall behind her "No" she said in a shaky voice ridden in fear. Naraku began to
chuckle lightly as he placed his hands on her shoulders. The others were all too preoccupied to
notice the happenings on the porch where Kagome and Naraku were standing. "Well Kagome I see
you have made your decision. Too bad maybe if you hadn't chosen the half breed your life might
have mattered to me." Kagome's eyes widened in fear as Naraku once again wrapped his hands
around her neck. She let out a small scream before her air supply was cut off. Inuyasha heard her
cry for help. Kagome could feel her memories come flooding back into her head as she was gasping
for breath. Her body once again fell into a state of unconsciousness and the last thing she heard was
Inuyasha screaming her name before blacking out. Inuyasha landed right behind Naraku and slashed
him in the back causing him to release Kagome's lifeless form. She hit the ground with a light thump
as Naraku turned around to battle his attacker. "Inuyasha you insolent fool!" Naraku swinging his
arms at Inuyasha who dodged it easily. Inuyasha jumped back off the porch and Naraku followed.
Inuyasha scratched Naraku in the face and growled "That was for Kagura!" Which he couldn't even
believe was coming out of his mouth. Naraku ignored the cut and took another swing at Inuyasha
which was once again dodged. Inuyasha landed in front of his friends who were a bit banged up but
had finally finished off the demons. A slight amount of fear could be found in Naraku's eyes but was
hidden as he sent an energy ball flying at the group. As they were dodging he transformed his body
into a spider like blob. He had the upper body of a man and the lower body of a spider. "In this form
there is no way I can be beaten!" Naraku said with a laugh. Sango threw her Hiraikotsu at him but it
was deflected by a barrier. "Ha ha nice try taijiya." Naraku chuckled before a hole was blown
through his torso by a gleaming arrow from behind. His barrier had disappeared. "Naraku you
asshole how dare you do this to my friends and I!" cried out Kagome. Naraku quickly reversed and
ran at Kagome. He swung one of his spider legs at her she ducked but a second one hit her in the
face leaving a small but deep cut behind. Not a second after his leg made contact with her face did
Inuyasha plunge his sword into Naraku's lower body. Blood gushed through the wound but that
wasn't about to stop Naraku he whipped around sending Inuyasha to the ground. Kouga jumped in
the air and yelling "FOR MY CLAN!" and landed an extremely powerful kick to Naraku's head
blurring his vision for a moment. Sango took advantage of this and slammed her Hiraikotsu into him
while shouting "FOR MY VILLAGE!"……. "AND THIS ONE" she said while landing a second
blow "IS FOR MY FATHER AND BROTHER!" which knocked Naraku to the ground. Miroku
got in a hit with his staff to Naraku's torso "FOR MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHER!" as he
landed his blow. Naraku was shaken and battered but still stood back up. A second after Naraku
was standing he was hit with Shippo's fox fire "THAT'S FOR HURTING KAGOME YOU BIG
MEANIE!" he shouted from Kirara's back. While they were all attacking Naraku Inuyasha went
over to Kagome. "Kagome?" Inuyasha said quietly Kagome looked up with tear filled eyes.
"Inuyasha I-I'm so sorry." she said as her tears fell onto the floor. "I can't believe I did that! I forgot
about you guys! How could I do such a terrible thing! And I let Naraku trick me into thinking you
would hurt me! I believed him! I trusted him! When I woke up in that horrible castle all I could
remember was a hazy image of you and then I believed Naraku when he said you hurt me I-I really
am a stupid, useless human girl!" she cried letting go of all her emotions, tears were beginning to
collect in a pool on the floor. Kagome winced slightly as a salty tear rolled over the open cut on her
face. "Kagome your are an amazing person and I-I …" he was about to finish when he heard a
scream from behind he grabbed Kagome pulling her into his arms and returned to the battle he had
neglected. Landing directly in front of Naraku. Taking out his sword he put Kagome down who was
still clutching a bow and arrow. Everyone but Kagome backed away. Inuyasha lifted his sword
"THIS IS FOR KIKYO! WIND SCAR!" the familiar yellow lights passed through Naraku's body
almost tearing him in two. His body was beginning to regenerate when Kagome noticed the pulses
coming from the spider mark on Naraku's back. "Of course Onigumo's heart is what holds him
together he is Naraku's very core" Kagome said just loud enough for Inuyasha to hear. "Well then
we should aim for the spider mark" Inuyasha said to Kagome. "right" she said in reply. Kagome
aimed her arrow at the burn mark as did Inuyasha with his sword. "One….Two….Three…." they
said in Unison "WIND SCAR" Inuyasha yelled as Kagome released her arrow. Inuyasha's wind
scar entwined with the arrow sending it at an even faster rate directly to the center of the spider
mark. Naraku's eyes widened in shock as the attack started to destroy his body. Huge gust of wind
and light flew across the castle as Miroku shielded Sango and Inuyasha, Kagome. Naraku at last
evaporated into a cloud of purple smoke sending him to the underworld where he belonged. They all
watched as Naraku turned to dust and shouted his last "I get you for this!" before being completely
obliterated. "Is-is it over?" Shippo asked opening his eyes and uncovering his ears. Kagome ran over
and scooped him off Kilala's back. "Yes Shippo it is finally over!" Kagome exclaimed practically
jumping for joy. She put Shippo down and ran to Sango. He moods quickly changing. "I'm so sorry
Sango" she said with her head bowed. "For what? How could I ever stay angry at my best friend
huh?" replied Sango smiling. Kagome pulled her into a tight hug "Uh...Kagome your choking me."
Sango said. "Sorry Sango" she said releasing her. She instead quickly hugged Miroku who was
standing next to Sango. Miroku patted her back. Kagome the walked over to Kouga. She lightly
hugged him and said "Thanks for everything but…." he held his finger to her lips and said "Shhh I
understand" he gave Kagome a kiss on the cheek and bolted of into the distance. Kagome stood
there shocked but happy. She slowly turned to look at Inuyasha. Kagome starred at his face
memorizing every last detail when she got a strong urge. It was overwhelming she realized how badly
she wanted to say the three words that had been eating her up inside. They were begging to come
out. The three most meaningful and words in the human language. The three words that she prayed
would be said in return. She took a deep breath and strolled over to Inuyasha. Kagome gazed into
his eyes and thought of nothing better to do but let it slip out. "Inuyasha" she said keeping eye
contact as her stomach began to fill with butterflies and her nervousness mounted. "I…..I...umm...I
love you!" she breathed out and closed her eyes. All he could do was stand there over come by
shock, relief, and joy. His hesitations scared Kagome, "What have I done?" she thought to her self.
She turned to leave but was stopped by his hand on her shoulder. She turned to him holding her
breath. "Kagome..." she looked back up at him. "I love you too" he said taking her hand and pulling
Kagome to him and kissing her tenderly. For that moment after, they had finally uttered their long
awaited confessions, nothing else mattered or existed all there was, was each other.
