The Kidnapping: An InuYasha FanFic Story

By Kagome Ito

Chapter Seven- The Fight to the Death

"Oh!" Sakurah yelled as she stopped walking and dropped onto her knees only minutes latter.

"Hey, what's wrong?" InuYasha stopped, turned around, and asked in a yell.

"He is calling me through the shard. He is angry." Sakurah said in a frightened whisper.

"Are you sure?" InuYasha asked her as he and everyone else walked closer.

"Yes." she whispered to him. "Follow me everyone." she said, her right forefinger and middle finger together over the shard in her chest.

"All right, but becareful, and keep your consciousness." Sesshomaru told her as she stood up and began walking in the same direction that they were walking in

previously.

After about an hour and a half they came upon a dome of Miasma. It was Naraku's castle.

"This is it." Sakurah said as her eyes flashed red. "Just as he has told me."

"Are you all right?" Sesshomaru asked her when he saw her eyes flash the deep red of hatred.

"Yes, but follow me from far behind. I'll be fine but he can not see you, I feel he will kill me if he does." she told them. "I love you Seshomaru." And she walked up the stairs and into the main entrance of the castle.

"All right, let's hide then." InuYasha said, grabbing Kagome's arm and running to find a good hiding place.

Once everyone found a hiding place and they could see what they thought was Naraku's room, they waited.

Then, they heard a scream of pain from a girl. Then they saw a body fall sideways onto the ground through a flash of red light.

"I told you to be back by high sun!" Naraku yelled at her as she laid on the ground, looking up at him with fear widespread upon her face. "You would be dead if I did not need you to bear me a child!"

"Wait a minute," Kagome whispered into InuYasha's ear, "why does she have to bear him a child?"

"Because Kagome, her extreme power." he responded.

"Can you really be sure that she even has any 'extreme' power?" Sango asked InuYasha and Sesshomaru. "Have you ever seen it?"

"No, never." Sesshomaru responded to Sango.

"Then how can you be sure?" Miroku asked him.

"Our father. She has power from our father." InuYasha responded for Sesshomaru.

But then, from within the castle, a bright shot of fiery red light burst from Naraku's room. And out of the newly created hole came the source of the red light.

"Sakurah." whispered Shippo Chan. "Is she all right?"

"Of course she is, she's a demon." Sesshomaru said proudly.

Then, just as Sakurah came upon the ground facing Naraku, a change accrued.

Her eyes glow red with demon fury, and her talons grew to a foot and a half in length. She was angry, really angry.

"How dare you touch me OniGumo." Sakurah whispered in a dangerous voice.

Then, Sakurah knelled down and lunged at Naraku with her claws out and ready for attack, she argued with herself weather or not to transform. She wished to nottake a chance of hurting Kagome or anyone else, but she knew she could use the extra power.

She attacked and sliced off Naraku's arm with ease. Naraku, on the other hand reacted by sending a large cloud of miasma into the air through the castle.

Then, as unexpected as anything happening, Kagome shot a full strength Sacred Arrow right through the miasma; it disappeared in a matter of seconds. But as the miasma was being swept away, so was Sakurah's demon rage. The arrow had it's effects on both Naraku and Sakurah.

Once her eyes were totally clear she looked into Sesshomaru's eyes and smiled; her talons went back to normal length as she did.

"Are you all right? Sesshomaru asked her as he walked closer to her with InuYasha a few feet behind, also advancing slowly.

Then Naraku stepped in front of Sesshomaru and stopped.

"Are you here to help me?" Naraku asked Sesshomaru with his menacing voice.

"No. I am here to help the young woman who will eventually be bearing me a child." Sesshomaru responded. And with one strong sweep of his Tokijin, Naraku was swept into obliteration.

But before any of them could recover, out of the castle came Kagura and Kanna, running towards Sesshomaru. Cheerfulness upon Kagura's face as Kanna slowly stopped with sadness her obvious emotion.

"I Thank you!" Kagura said, as Kanna stopped, but Kagura continued towards him and hugged Sesshomaru.

"I did not do this for you, I did this for her." he told Kagura as he pointed at Sakurah's now limp figure lying on the ground. "Oh no!" he yelled, then ran over to her, lifting her head and body into his arms.

"Oh!" Kagome said, seeing a shine on the ground and walking over to it and picking it up. "The jewel." she said as she put the rest of the jewel together as one and closing her hand around it and from Kagome's hand came a bright light as the Shikan No Tama became one once more.

"It is all over now." Sakurah said, opening her eyes slowly as she lay in Sesshomaru's arms.

The next day InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Shippo Chan, Kelala, Sesshomaru, and Sakurah were almost to Keade's village, near the bone eater's Well where they planned to have a restful nights sleep (after their party, of course!).
