Naraku embraced Kagome in his arms savoring the heat and warmth of her delicate skin.
"Such a beautiful creature isn't she?" He said smirking with much defiance. "It would be such a pity if I were to devour her right now."
"You bastard!" Sesshomaru hissed. "I can't believe I actually thought we were in this together."
Sesshomaru rose up his right hand and tossed the Shikon no Tama over to Naraku.
"Man, I always knew you were a coward!" Inu-yasha cried.
"A fool is more like it," Naraku added.
"Once again, here's another example of why humans are never worth it! You've disappointed me Sesshomaru."
"If you make Kagome get killed Sesshomaru!" Inu-yasha roared. "I'd never forgive you!"
"I can't believe he just tossed the Shikon no Tama over to Naraku," Miroku commented. "He must be up to something."
"Yes, I agree," Sango said nodding her head excessively.
"I don't care what's reason he may have, that bastard is going down!" Inu-yasha shouted. He charged towards Sesshomaru blindly with his powered up Tetsusaiga.
"Inu-yasha wait!"
"Shut up Miroku!"
"Inu-yasha, but you have to save Kagome!"
"Step aside Miroku," Sango advised. "Hiraikotsu!"
Sango moved a bit forward tossing her boomerang in the direction of Naraku.
"Damn! I missed!"
"Hmm, I gotta give you some credit Sango. You almost caught me off guard. Something I didn't expect from you in the least."
"Sango, what were you thinking?!" Miroku questioned. "That was a huge risk you just took. You could have injured Kagome."
"You have no clue as to what just happened do you Miroku? Naraku was going to finish off Kagome."
"Looks like someone is still being observant around here," Naraku slyly commended. He looked up at the others with a grin so chilled and so evil.
"But it's hopeless… so why don't you guys just give up and accept your fates."
Naraku took the Shikon no Tama embedding it deep into his forehead. No sooner, did his eyes turn flaming red adorning a face which warped into an image so sinister.
"Now you will witness my true and infinite POWER! I'll make all of you fatally sorry that you ever crossed paths with Naraku!"
"I don't care if you have a million Shikon no Tama's buried in your brain Naraku!" Inu-yasha shouted arrogantly. "I'm still gonna take you down…!"
"Wait your turn half-youkai," Sesshomaru interrupted, pushing Inu-yasha aside. "You'll have all the time in the world to die later when I send you plunging into the depths of hades. So don't be angry with me if I take your place in trying to destroy this bastard once and for all."
Sesshomaru charged towards Naraku with his Toukijin bladed sword.
"Now how would you like to die Naraku," he said switching conversations, "at the fangs of one of your own re-incarnations!"
"Haaaaaaaaaa!"
"Whiz! Fwip! Twap thack thack!"
Sesshomaru staggered backward clumsily as his sword collided with Naraku's claws. He was pitched aside like a dwindled rag doll as Naraku showered him with his awful energy.
"Is that all you've got Sesshomaru?" Naraku asked as his chuckles surrounded the forest. "I'll still give you one last chance to join me if you cast that human aside."
Naraku tossed a bruised Kagome over urging Sesshomaru to take her life.
"Do it now Sesshomaru! And when you join me we'll be unstoppable!"
The others looked on in aching horror praying that Sesshomaru wouldn't betray them.
"A tempting offer. I must commend you Naraku. But you're forgetting one thing… I'm attached to this girl. And if putting my life on the line is the only way I can save her…"
Sesshomaru staggered painfully to his feet.
"… Well let this battle be the way to prove it."
"Man, this day just seems to be getting weirder and weirder," Inu-yasha commented. "Since when have you had feelings for Kagome?"
"Seems like fate is on our side Inu-yasha," Miroku added. "So let's be thankful that he chose not to kill her."
"Fine then!" Naraku roared over their petty conversations. "Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru. All of you will die along with her!"
"Inu-yasha! Take heed!" Miroku shouted. "Naraku is planning to go after Kagome!"
"I'm on it!"
Inu-yasha dashed to the right as quickly as possible hoping to dispel Naraku's attack. However, Sesshomaru was one step ahead of him as he took the full blow of the fatal assault.
"Sesshommaru!"
His body plunged forcefully into the ground along with a severed Toukijin sword.
"Ha ha ha ha ha," Naraku laughed. "Such a fool for thinking he could defeat me."
"Is he dead?" Miroku questioned Sango.
"I don't know. But if he is, Inu-yasha surprisingly seems to be all broken up about it."
"Now, who shall be next!" Naraku thundered. "Who else thinks they can take on the invincible Naraku?"
