The Flowers That Keep Us Alive
I don't own Inu-tachi. And I'm 0.000000000009 percent closer to owning Tessaiga. And I totally wish it was true.
READ: Nothing to put here.
"You won't kill me that easily..."
"Either way, I'll kill you. Might as well finish you now. Your friends are helpless without your help."
"You'll die before me, Naraku... I have someone to protect..."
"Then that person will only stand in the way," Naraku told him, watching the helpless hanyou try to lift himself up with the Tessaiga. "Hanyous are worthless, the human heart inside them only causes trouble. Look at you. I don't even have to do anything more and you're almost dead."
"I won't die... I have to see Kagome again..."
"That worthless girl?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING WORTHLESS? (AN: cue Inuyasha fighting music)" With a sudden burst of energy Inuyasha lifted himself up and could smell the evil in Naraku. "YOU PICKED THE WRONG HANYOU TO MESS WITH! Kaze no Kizu!" But Naraku easily dodged it.
"That pathetic attack will never work."
"This pathetic attack will end your life... (AN: cue stronger Inuyasha fighting music) KAZE NO KIZU!" Naraku moved this time, barely escaping, and managed to knock the Tessaiga out of Inuyasha's hands with hit the floor and returned to its other state.
"Who's life is going to end?"
"Yours! Sankontessou! Tessaiga!"
"Try again, half-breed. I think I'll just let you slowly die... you can just keep going for me."
"I'll end up killing you... if I die you will go with me!"
Hear my voice, Kagome... I need you, badly...
"Inuyasha..."
"Hm..? Kagome, is something troubling you?" Sango asked from the corner of the hut. She slowly got up and went over to Kagome. She was leaned up against the wall, knees up, right arm holding her flowers and hung over her knees, her left on the floor, and her head looking down.
"I... have to go. I can sense something. Stay... here..." Kagome stood up, and revealed that tears were coming from her eyes. She didn't waste any time getting out the door, however, and she never let go of her flowers. It had been three days. Three days that Inuyasha was gone. After they'd talked she fell asleep in his arms up in that tree, and when she awoke the next morning she was in the hut and Inuyasha was gone. She'd searched everywhere, but never found him. Now she'd go out and find him. If he was in danger, she wouldn't forgive herself.
She headed through the forest, going wherever her senses told her to. Whatever they were, something was trying to lead her somewhere. Kagome finally came to a stop when there wasn't anything telling her where to go, and turned to her right; peered through the trees and saw nothing. Then she looked to her left and could sense something strong. Kagome ran in that direction, got one of her arrows ready, and found a sight she didn't want to see.
"Inuyasha! Naraku, this is your doing! You've killed him!"
"He's not dead... just... unconscious. I was waiting for him to wake up so he can try and get me again."
"Not now!" She shot her arrow at him, got him on the side since he jumped, and got another ready. "I'll make this one hit you." She shot it as quickly as she said it and hit him right in the center. Naraku fell, and she ran over to Inuyasha's side.
"Inuyasha... wake up... p-please..."
"K-Kagome?"
"Inuyasha! you're awake!" She let her hands slide under him and she lifted his head up to hug him.
"Kagome, run... don't let him kill you..."
"I'm not going to leave you here, Inuyasha... I know you can defeat him... where's Tessaiga?"
"I don't know, but he dodged my Kaze no Kizu..."
"That's because your hurt," Kagome said as she started to stand up, taking his hand and lifting him up as well. "You run. Let me stay... go and get Sango and the others."
"He'll kill you..."
"He'll kill me if you don't hurry, Inuyasha! Go get them!" She got him up as fast as she could then stood in front of him with an arrow ready as he got away.
"Stupid wench," Naraku spat at her, turning to face her. "That one hurt. Sent your hanyou to go get your sidekicks, eh? That monk won't be any use, I have Samiyoushou (spelling?), and they're all no use if I kill that hanyou." he jumped right for Inuyasha, but stopped right in midair and fell to the ground when another one of Kagome's arrows went in front of him.
"If they don't come fast enough I'll kill you."
"Why don't you let go of those flowers? They seem to pose a problem to you holding your arrow."
"I'll never let go of these!"
"Kagome..."
"GO, Inuyasha! And don't bring Miroku, he'll only get hurt!"
"Pathetic hanyou, needing to rely on a stupid human to protect you."
"What was that?"
"GO, Inuyasha!"
"No way, Kagome! You're not stupid! Where's Tessaiga?" He pulled the Tessaiga's scabbard out and turned there on the spot, then ran towards Naraku. "Tessaiga!" The word came from behind Naraku. so it pierced through him as it came into Inuyasha's hold.
"Inuyasha, you'll get hurt!"
"Get DOWN, Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted at her. "I won't let him get away with calling you stupid! Kongoushouha!"
He cares... even if all Naraku did was call me stupid... I can always trust Inuyasha. Kagome did duck, but as soon as the attack subsided and left Naraku with a crap load of scratches she stood back up.
"OSUWARI!"
"Gyyahaahgaaa!"
"Naraku!" She got another of her arrows ready as fast as possible and shot it right at him.
"Hiraikotsu!" Naraku was hit by a blur which was Sango's boomerang right through the center.
"Sango!"
"Kazaana!"
"Miroku! Gyahh! Miroku, close it, close it!" The insects were let out and Kagome could hear the Kazaana stop sucking (AN: HAHAHA! It's like saying the Kazaana sucks...).
"It's over, Naraku!" Inuyasha shouted, as he watched Sango get ready to throw her boomerang, Kagome get her arrow ready, and even watched Shippou standing high on top of Kirara. "Kaze no Kizu!"
"Hiraikotsu!"
"Kitsune-bi!"
"Inuyasha, get... DOWN, OSUWARI!"
"Gnnahahagya!"
"Is it over...?" Sango questioned as she caught her boomerang in mid-air.
"No, he got away..." Kagome said, seeing as he wasn't there.
"But I saw him, he was full of it. If he doesn't die all it will take is one hit... come on, Kagome!"
"Uh.. okay..." She got onto Inuyasha's back and took hold of his blood stained shirt as he ran in Naraku's direction, which was obvious as it left behind a trail of destruction.
"There he is!" They could see Naraku in is baboon-costume-thinger (AN: what the heck is that thing anyway?) on the ground. Full of scratches and Inuyasha's blood.
"Get off of me, Kagome," Kagome did as told and jumped off of his back, and he gripped Tessaiga even tighter - making her grip the flowers even tighter - then lunged right for Naraku. "Kaze no... KIZU!"
"Inuyasha!"
"Stay back, Kagome!"
"You're running out of energy!"
"He's dead... isn't he...?"
"He's dead, Inuyasha... I believe in you..."
"You still have those flowers? They are still alive?"
"Yes... kind of strange, but they are still alive."
"Holy crap, just what we wanted." He fell over from exhaustion and made a loud thud on the ground.
"Who?" Kagome rushed over to Inuyasha's side and kneeled down to face him.
"I can smell Kouga..."
"No! No! He's going to try and kill you, or you him, I don't want you two fighting! You're already bad enough! This is your warning," Kagome said all of this so quick before Kouga actually reached them. "If you go after him I'll say THE word ten times."
"Why are you protecting him?"
"I'm not protecting him, I'm protecting YOU! Here he is... stay still, okay...?" The tornado reached them and disappeared to reveal Kouga (AN: duh... no wait, I mean SESSHY! HAHAHA yeah, right).
"I hear some trouble... did Kagome have to rescue mutt-face over here?"
"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Kouga... I have to go with Inuyasha on this..."
"You're siding with him? The two of you would just make more stupid half-breeds!"
"What's the difference if I were with you? You're a full demon, and I'm human!"
"Well... I'd... you're siding with the hanyou?"
"Drop it, Kouga. I know you just won't face the truth. And they would only be stupid if I had them with you."
"Fine, see if I care if you side with that hanyou!" Kouga just turned and left again, without another word.
"Wow, you really got to him..."
"Well, it's the truth. I just can't stand it anymore! And you... what was with the twitching when I talked about us having kids?"
"Er... uh... hm... um..."
"It could happen," She was blushing, but tried her best to stay clam; Inuyasha, on the other hand, was a deep shade of red and wasn't anywhere near hiding it. "Let's... go back... okay...?"
"We're fine right here."
"Don't you want to get back?"
"Maybe in a few. I don't feel like getting up, that was one heck of a battle there. Besides, we're doing fine..." He struggled and tried to lean up just a little and kissed her.
"Inuyasha, here..." she took the Beads of Subjugation (spelling?) necklace and took it off of him. "You don't need it anymore..."
"Put it back on! It's saved my life more times than many other things have."
SORRY THIS ONES A LITTLE SHORTER! but i ran out of ideas... :3
