Chapter 17

In quick succession, Naraku fired multiple dark beams at the group, making them dodge each time. Where the beam hit nothing remained. The ground continued to shake as the fighting continued.

"How could the keyhole be in the well?" Kagome said. "We passed it before but Sora never sensed it."

"It was because when we used the well it was only to travel through time," Sora said. "I think, because the connection to the other world is gone, the keyhole has appeared. Whatever had allowed us to travel through time hid the keyhole so only now it has appeared."

"That doesn't matter right now," Inuyasha said. "We can't even get to the keyhole until Naraku gets out of the way."

"But we have to hurry, before the world is destroyed." Kagome said.

"You will never be able to defeat me," Naraku said. "The power of the darkness is mine to command." He fired another beam at them.

"You don't understand the power of darkness, Naraku." Sora said.

"I understand it much more than you think," Naraku said. "By myself I may not have been able to control it but with the sacred jewel shards my power is limitless. I sense the darkness, constantly at battle with the light, and the darkness is winning. Soon this world will be gone, taken over by the darkness, as many worlds will soon be. I even sense the darkness in your hearts, especially yours Inuyasha."

"You bastard." Inuyasha said and fired a wind scar which Naraku effortlessly blocked.

"Join the darkness, Inuyasha, let it take over," Naraku said. "Only through the power of darkness can ultimate power be achieved."
"Your wrong, Naraku," Sora said. "When I used the power of the sacred jewel, I felt the light grow even stronger. It was able to drive away the darkness, no matter how much it hid. I still feel the power within me, and because of that I know that the darkness will never put out the light." Sora began to glow as a bright light surrounded him.

Naraku shrank back. "The light…" He said as he raised his hands to block the intense light coming from Sora.

"We must attack together again." Sora said.

"Right, Sora." Kagome said.

"I'm with you." Inuyasha said.

Kikyo nodded.

Kikyo and Kagome both shot a sacred arrow at Naraku, straight at the Heartless symbol on his chest. Inuyasha fired a wind scar at Naraku which swarmed around him. Lastly, a beam of light shot from Sora's Keyblade and hit Naraku directly in the chest. The energy pushed him back as the darkness surrounding Naraku slowly diminished.

"I will not be stopped." He said and tried to push the light back but it proved too strong for him. The attacks, now combined in the beam of light, passed through his body. The darkness erupted from him and disappeared as the light grew brighter. There was a flash and they were all engulfed in it. When they could see again Naraku was gone.

"Is he dead?" Sora asked.

"No, he just escaped again," Inuyasha said. "But we beat him. His Heartless powers are gone."

The ground began to shake more violently.

"I have to seal the keyhole." Sora said and a beam of light again shot into and down the well. The ground continued to shake. "That should have worked."

"Sora, use this," Kagome said giving Sora a jewel. "I think this will help."

Sora took the jewel and as the first time it combined with the Keyblade, surrounding Sora in light. The beam shot down the hole again and the shaking began to stop.

"It worked," Sora said. "The light balanced the darkness in the heart."

"It's over then." Kikyo said and started to leave.

"Kikyo, thanks for your help." Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, do not thank me," Kikyo said. "With this threat over there is now nothing to stop me from killing you myself. Until next time." She left.

"Sora, I know we saved this world, but what about mine?" Kagome asked. Sora thought for a moment.

"I have an idea," He said. "For the short time I had it the jewel shard gave me much power, which I feel now with it again. The magic within it, combined with the Keyblade and the light, can help restore your world."

"Do you really think it will work?" Kagome asked.

"We have to try." Sora said. The light around Sora shined brighter than before. He raised his Keyblade and another brilliant beam of light shot out of it and down the well. Sora started to fall back, weary of using so much energy. Kagome caught him before he fell. Then a beam of light shot back from the well and hit Kagome and Sora. The light transported them through time and they landed in the modern era.

"It worked!" Kagome said.

"And I think the people who were lost when the world was destroyed will return as well." Sora said.

"Great," Kagome said smiling. "Let's go back to Traverse Town and get my family." Sora agreed and called the Gummi ship and they both went back to Traverse town.
