Hey all. Thanks for all the reviews. As I said before, I don't own Inuyasha, but I have kidnapped some of the characters and I promise to return them safely.

Chapter 14

Kagura lead Kagome down the hall toward the library where Naraku was waiting. She looked back at Kagome, who had her head down, and saw a tear fall from her cheek. Kagura sighed and then said, "I wasn't suppose to say this, but Naraku is making it harder by having Sesshoumaru in the room." Kagome's head shot up and she gasped. "If you don't choose Naraku, he'll have Sesshoumaru killed on the spot." Kagome dropped her head and softly said, "No." Kagura sighed again and continued on towards the library.

Kagura pushed open the large oak doors and lead Kagome in. A guard came up behind Kagome and led her to middle of the right side of the room and held her there. Sesshoumaru was kneeling across from her, being held by two guards. He would struggle occasionally, but the guards held him tight. Kagome looked over at the large window and saw the outline of Naraku's figure. "It's sunset, Kagome. Time to make your choice: either me or Sesshoumaru's death." He turned around and smiled evilly when he saw tears rolling down her face. Kagome lowered her head and said, "I…I…I choose…"

The whole time Naraku waited for Kagome to answer, Sesshoumaru growled loudly. He could feel whatever power he had building up, but held it in for the right moment. Kagome began stuttering and he knew he couldn't let Naraku win. So, after she had said, "…I choose…," he interrupted and shouted, "Me!" He struggled violently and threw the two guards off of him. He got up and ran toward Naraku, claws ready for the kill. He felt extremely different with only having the strength of a hanyou, but he was determined to defeat Naraku.

Kagome saw that Sesshoumaru throw the two guards off of him, so she took the opportunity and elbowed the guard holding her in the stomach, causing him to let go of her. She turned around and punched him hard in the face. She knew she couldn't fight in the long dress she wore, so she used her claw and cut the dress to a mid-thigh shirt. She also ripped out the slip and cut slits on each side. Kagome then went after the guards that came into the library. They circled around her and she calmly stood ready for their attacks. One charged her and she gave him a high spin kick to his face. The guard spun in the air and landed outside the circle. The guards looked at her and held their swords strong and began to charge her.

Sesshoumaru tried his best to keep Naraku at bay, even though Naraku was five times stronger thanks to the Jewel that he placed inside his chest. "Feeling a little weak, are we Sesshoumaru? Maybe you just give up." "Never! This Sesshoumaru may not be as strong as you, but ten times as determined." The two began fighting again, but Naraku had a slight upper hand.

Kagome stood in the middle of the circle with all the guards knocked out. She had received one little cut on her leg that wasn't deep. She smiled at her accomplishment, but then heard Naraku fighting again. Occasionally, she would knock out a guard who woke up. As she knocked another guard out, she saw out of the corner of her eye Sesshoumaru get pushed back and was wide open for an attack. She turned around and saw Naraku's sharp tentacle form and then shot towards Sesshoumaru. Kagome gasped and then ran towards Sesshoumaru shouting, "NO!" She pushed him out of the way, but gasped when she felt a piercing pain hit her chest.

Sesshoumaru felt himself be push to the ground by a golden blur. He landed on ground and he looked back at who had pushed him. He gasped when he saw Kagome standing where he had been and that she had a tentacle pierced through her chest. She began to fall and Sesshoumaru quickly reached out and caught her before she hit the ground. He held her close and said, "You took the blow for me. Why?" In very short breaths, Kagome said, "Because…I couldn't…let you…get hurt." She closed her eyes and glowed a lavender color. Sesshoumaru notice that he also began glowing too and felt a tingling sensation flow over him. When it faded, Kagome reopened her eyes and her breathe became shallower. "I…restored your…strength…and …" Sesshoumaru interrupted her and said, "Shh…do not speak. You mustn't waste your strength." Kagome nodded and said, "I'll…try." Kagome breathed heavily as Sesshoumaru gently laid her on the ground with her tail as her pillow.

Sesshoumaru, after making sure Kagome was comfortable, stood up and faced Naraku, who teased Sesshoumaru by licking Kagome's blood from his tentacle. "Her blood is very sweet. Like honey almost." Sesshoumaru growled loudly and said, "Bastard! You will regret the day you decided to mess with this Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru charged Naraku and Naraku could barely see him, for Sesshoumaru was running on pure determination. Sesshoumaru fought him for a bit, but only caused one or two major hits to Naraku while the others were minor.

Kagome watched helplessly from the sidelines, wanting so much to help. She breathed in heavily and then closed her eyes. She knew that Sesshoumaru couldn't beat Naraku by himself, so she envisioned a bow and arrow for her to use against Naraku. She reopened her eyes and saw next to her a lavender bow and one white arrow. 'I would only have the strength for this one shot.' Kagome used whatever strength she had left, slowly sat up (wincing in the process), and grabbed the bow and arrow. She positioned the arrow and tried to hold it steady and pulled it back. She took aim, but it shook as she held it. Kagome placed all of her miko powers behind it and fired it at Naraku's chest. She then fell to the ground for she had used all of her strength in that one shot.

Sesshoumaru got pushed back by Naraku and got cut across his bare chest. He was about to charge Naraku again, but he barely saw a white and lavender light fly past him and stuck Naraku directly in the center of his chest. The force that was behind the arrow was so great that it pushed the Shikon out through his back and for him to fly into the wall, impaling him. Naraku screamed in pain as the miko power was slowly purifying him from the inside out. The Jewel landed on the ground near one of the bookcases and it didn't glow lavender like normal; instead it was dull. Sesshoumaru turned to Kagome and saw that she was laying differently from how he had left her. He also saw that she wasn't breathing or moving. He ran to her and knelt next to her. He gently lifted her into his arms and saw that her eyes were closed and no breath came from her lips. He held her close and lowered his head. His silver hair fell over his shoulder in front of his face, so no one saw a tear roll down his cheek and landed on Kagome's cheek.

Well, this chapter is done. Sorry it took so long to update. I hope you like it. Review.
