Hey y'all! Sorry I've been lazy for a while . . . but school is being a real drag. Too much work! Well, don't expect anything to special because this is kinda slap-dash . . . oh well.

Chapter 6:

Inuyasha's eyes widened as Kagura fell to the ground. What did she yell about? Kanna? What's going on? It took him a while to realize that Kagura wasn't moving . . . or breathing. The scent of death was still driving him insane, he couldn't even walk steadily, but Kagome seemed to know what he wanted to do. She started to trek toward the still demoness, but then stopped and turned toward him.

"Do you want to check, Inuyasha?"

He couldn't nod, or move for that matter. The smell surrounding him was driving him to the point of becoming a full demon. He grunted and Kagome nodded. Kagome placed one hand on the ground and the earth shook in a glow of white light. The air became fresh once more and Inuyasha could think clearly. He practically sprinted over to Kagura, not sure why he was so eager to check if she was alive. He supposed that he was guilty about not fulfilling his self-promise.

When he turned her over he noticed something, she didn't smell like Naraku. She smelled like the wind . . . as strange as that sounded. He fully turned her. Inuyasha had to suppress a shudder. His attack had hit her diagonally from the shoulder to her waist. Blood was pouring fast from her wound. "Wake-up you foolish woman!"

Kagura didn't stir.

"Hey! I mean it! Wake up!" Inuyasha shouted as he shook her shoulders rather harshly.

Kagura spit out some blood and began to breathe again, but she didn't awaken.

"Inuyasha, Naraku's presence lingers near. It seems as though he is not through with us. We should keep on guard. Put her down for a moment." Miroku said, making Inuyasha realize that he had lifted Kagura from the ground.

Sango got her weapon ready for battle, Miroku had his hand on his prayer beads, and Kagome steadied her arrow. Inuyasha set Kagura gently down and unsheathed his Tetsaiga.

"Inuyasha . . . sama . . ."

Inuyasha's eyes flicked toward the direction of the small voice, and turned to see Kanna standing next to Kagura, tears were gently falling down her face. She knelt next to Kagura's fallen body, not quite sure what to do with her alive and dead sister. "Did you . . . hate my sister . . ."

Inuyasha blinked in confusion, "No . . . yes . . . I don't know! The smell was driving me crazy!"

Kanna's usual calm demeanor changed to that of pure anguish, "You killed her . . ."

"She's not dead you stupid girl! Lay off! I'm going to protect her! I told her . . . well, I told myself, I would set her free!"

"You . . . already . . . did."

"What!"

Kanna rested her head against Kagura's chest, "She has her heart . . . she is free . . . she can finally love me." She lifted her head to look at Inuyasha. "And you."

"What!"

"Never mind the girl Inuyasha . . . focus on me!"

Inuyasha turned to behold quite a site. All of his friends were knocked unconscious against the ground, and Naraku staring at him. "That's what I plan to do, Naraku!"

"You spoiled my plan Inuyasha."

"What plan! I've come to take Kagura and Kikyo away from you!"

"Kikyo isn't here."

"Huh?"

"I lured you here as a death trap for Kagura." Naraku gestured toward where Kagura and Kanna were, "She was growing to rebellious. She might have risen against me. I cannot have weak and strong minions without their loyalty. She had to die."

Inuyasha felt the rage boil up inside of him. The rage was a deep pure hatred, such hatred was drowning his human blood away . . . He could feel it. He was transforming into his demon self, with the Tetsaiga in his hand. "So, you plan to make a murderer out of me." He took a menacing step forward as Naraku took a hesitant step backwards, "I am not Sesshomaru. However, in your case, I will make an exception. So how will you die, by claw or blade."

Naraku smirked, this was fun. Before he could open his mouth to answer he felt a holy essence fill his entire being. He cried out in agony and then fell, his body crumbling under him. Behind him was Kikyo.

"Kikyo . . ." Inuyasha transformed into his half-demon self once more. "You know what I'm feeling, don't you?"

Kikyo nodded. "I wish you luck with her, Inuyasha. Just know that I am at piece now, so it will be easier for you."

Kikyo walked over to Kagome and touched her forehead. She mumbled a spell and shuddered as the last of her soul entered Kagome. "Good-bye, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha only replied with a curt nod, afraid, as silly as it sounds, that if he were to speak she would come back from the dead and try to eat him or something. "Kirara."

"Meow!"

Kirara knew what to do. She transformed into a big two-tail and knelt down. Inuyasha put his friends on Kirara's back and watched as she took off towards Kaede's village. He approached Kagura and Kanna. Gently he picked Kagura up into his arms and turned to Kanna. "Get on my back."

Kanna hesitantly jumped on his back and Inuyasha sped off, heading to the same destination as Kirara.

I know, not the best chapter ever. Sorry to say that the next chapter will probably be the final chapter because I'm just stupid like that! Better review if you want the most spectacular and surprising ending of all time! R&R people! (Marches around like an idiot waving a flag) R&R!
