CHAPTER 6:
As the pink lights began to subside once more, Inuyasha could see Kagome lying on the ground, unmoving. Kikyo was furious. Sadness began to overwhelm him as he stared at the lifeless form he couldn't save. As the atmosphere began to settle, tears threatening to fall down his face, he saw her fingers twitch. Immediately, he made his way towards her. As he was midway through the air, he finally noticed the small bundle of fluff that lay upon her.
Landing lightly beside her, Inuyasha picked up Shippo and placed him on the ground. He then carefully picked up Kagome in his arms, shifting her up onto his legs. He made a quick inspection of her wounds. Light grazes and cuts covered her entire body. He noticed her arm was also bandaged, blood starting to pool and bleed all over. Her fall had been quite hard, but he was relieved to know that she would be fine. Tearing a piece of cloth from his under white clothing, he began to bandage the deep cut. Groaning a little, Kagome began to stir. As she opened her eyes, she realised Inuyasha was by her side and smiled slightly.
"Hey. Try not to move," Inuyasha told her softly. Completing the task, Kagome sat up without support.
"Are you hurt anywhere else?"
"Umm…" Kagome quickly patted herself for any signs of a hazardous injury. "Don't think so.
"Can you stand?"
"Erm…I think I can…thanks…" Kagome replied, as Inuyasha helped her up.
"Kagome…" came a soft voice.
"Shippo!" Kagome called out in surprise.
"Shippo?" Sango quietly came out from hiding in Miroku's shoulders, having the courage to finally see what lay beyond her.
"Are you alright…?" Shippo's voice came, slightly muffled. Bending down, with the help of Inuyasha, Kagome picked up Shippo, cradling him.
"Thank you. You're so brave…"
"Kagome…you're alright…I was so worried…"
"Don't worry. Everything's going to be fine now. Go to sleep." Kagome cooed. However, Shippo was already asleep within seconds.
Suddenly, a high-pitched scratchy noise was heard as Shippo was jolted awake again. Kouga and Naraku were fighting in the air, screechy noises erupting from their battle. However, a soft rustling of leaves, turned their attention to Kikyo, who had somewhat managed to walk to the edge of the woods without detection.
"Inuyasha. I will find a way to take you to hell with me." Kikyo stated quietly as she turned to look at everything once more. Inuyasha could not reply, heart torn between two difficult decisions. Ready to turn away from the battle, Kikyo began to leave, only to stop as a voice broke out, ceasing her departure midstep.
"Don't you understand! Naraku was the one that tricked you both! Leave Inuyasha alone! Please…please…" form wavering as Kagome sunk onto the hard ground once more, tears filling in the brim of her eyes. Shocked at the outburst, both Kikyo and Inuyasha stared at the girl.
"Inuyasha…I will rightfully return-" Kikyo began.
"Kagura. Kanna. Kohaku. Finish those humans off!" Naraku shouted, interrupting the undead miko.
"N-" Kagura started to protest only to be stopped by another voice.
"No…" Kanna stood emotionless, letting out one small protest she had kept to herself for so long.
"Kanna…" Kagura whispered softly to her sister.
"What! Do you defy me!" Naraku angrily smashed aside Kouga, knocking him to the ground, slightly dazed, advancing on the small child-like figure. "Do you understand who controls your life!"
"Yes…" Kanna simply stated as she stood her ground.
"You will die for your incompetence!" Naraku threatened, advancing menacingly towards the white girl. Hurrying, Kagura came to stand by her side.
"Naraku! You will not hurt my sister. I will not abide by your ruling any longer! If you want to kill her, you have to kill me first!"
"Sister…" Kanna whispered, awed at the protection from her sibling.
"That's fine with me!" With the clench and a turn of his fist, Naraku brought both sisters to their knees as he toyed with their hearts, making them struggle for breaths of air.
"Noo…no…" Kagome whispered, terrified at the sight before her. She had seen enough. All around her, she saw pain evident in everyone's eyes. Kouga, despite a new gash to his arm from his most recent fall, Kagome could see the anger and pain at the loss of Ayame. Sango was heartbroken at the state of her brother, Miroku sharing her pain. Inuyasha, she saw, was torn between duty and life. Now, Naraku stood, toying with the life of his own siblings. All around her, the pains that existed had been purposely summoned by Naraku. As more thoughts and added hurt by those she knew and loved, a new energy began to accumulate within her.
"NOO!" Kagome yelled, breaking Naraku's hold on the siblings. Everyone turned to look at her, all shocked at the scene before them. A pink aura surrounded Kagome, lifting her up and allowing her to hang in the air. Inuyasha studied her closely, seeing Kagome's tears, but unable to smell them. Concern washed over him as he could only stand and watch her, unable to comfort. His heart felt as if it had been plunged with thousands of knives, watching the sadness of her tears flow. Silence passed through the area with sounds only coming from Kagura and Kanna as they fell on all fours, gasping for air. Suddenly, Kikyo gasped.
"My souls…" Pain erupted from every fibre of her life form as Kikyo struggled to hold on to the life she had left within her. Out of the blue, Kohaku dropped to the ground. Fearful for his safety, Sango quickly and desperately crawled to his side. Unnoticed by those in pain, a small shard had come loose from Kohaku's neck bone. All around, shards were coming together, lifting from the pockets of Naraku, Kikyo, as well as the legs of Kouga. Surprisingly it hadn't burned or torn his skin as it came through, cultivating in the midsection of the air, where Kagome floated in a white-pink bubble. From places all over Japan, both humans and demons fought to grab a hold of their Shikon shard jewels as it was lifted from their pockets, and out from their bodies, assembling into the circular area between Kagome's formed palms, held together in front of her breasts. Inuyasha's eyes were transfixed on the hanging girl, as he watched shards float from all directions to Kagome, collecting the ones which neither opponent had managed to get a hold of. Finally, the last shards came together, melding into a whole as a bright light flashed and coursed throughout all of Feudal Japan.
"My souls…" Kikyo whispered for the last time, feeling the life being torn out of her and collapsed to the ground. Her body turned into hardened dirt, before collapsing into soft dirt ashes. All presence of her washed away as the wind came and scattered away all her remains.
"Kohaku!" Sango exclaimed, crying as blood began pooling around his near lifeless form, "Kagome…" she whispered as the illuminating light washed over her, bathing her in a relaxing sensation.
"No! My jewel!" Naraku screamed, blinded by the luminosity of Kagome's purity, as well as the burning sensation that exploded from within him.
'Well done, lady Kagome. We'll miss you.' Miroku thought, congratulating Kagome on the discovery of her inner strengths and powers, while saddened at the prospect of possibly not having her bubbly personality around to keep him and his friends in check to reality any longer.
'Kagome?' Kouga pondered, staring up into the bright sky.
"Kagome…" Shippo murmured.
"Kagome…KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted as the girl flashed and disappeared from his sight, leaving his heart aching from the overwhelming feeling of loneliness.
