Kagome moved her hand closer and was only an inch from the Earth Stone. All they had to do was keep them busy and she could destroy them all. Her tips touched the edge of the shiny orb and she wrapped her fingers around it and began to pull it out from the stone. With one quick movement, she broke the stone from the barrier and now had it in her hands.
"Give me the Spirit Crystal,"Kagome held out her hand and her past self set the orb in her palm.
She took them in each hand and spread her arms out. Adeth saw what she had done, but Miroku wouldn't let her go near her.She tried to push him back, but he was like a rock. He wouldn't let her pass and that would allow Kagome to destroy them.
Death looked past Sango and at Kagome,"No you don't!" She kicked Sango to the head and Sango landed on the ground. Death grabbed Sango's fallen dagger and threw it at Kagome. The dagger flew and knocked the Spirit Crystal from her hand it rolled on the ground. Kagome smashed the Earth Crystal on the ground and both Kagome's lunged for the Spirit Crystal, but Adeth grabbed it from them.
"Let's see," the stone began to glow and Adeth's eyes glowed for a second. "Ah, I can see what's in your darkest part of your mind,"Adeth said with that evil look. Her eyes were normal again,"Let's see how you are when you face your worst nightmare!"
Miroku was kicked in the groin and had himself cupped and glared at Adeth, So much for a third child! Then his eyes grew wide from what she said.
"No,"Kagome gasped. Both Kagomes had the look of pure terror.
Shippo began to search through Kagome's pack for some food when he came upon the strange paper that had thier future selves on it. He ran his finger over the glossy faces, all happy and smiling, even Inuyasha didn't have that scowling look on his face. He looked at the picture,Why did Kagome want to keep this? Kenta stirred but didn't wake up. Shippo smiled at him, Maybe we will have a good future, a happy future, like what this paper says. Shippo put the photo back in Kagome's bag and laid down next to him.He wanted to wake Kenta up when the rest of them came back.
If they ever came back. Ugh! Don't think such things! He began to pound the top of his head with his tiny fists, They will come back and they will all be happy, like on the paper. He continued to gaze at the stars and listened to the sounds of night and Kenta's even breathing.
Adeth and Death jumped from the fight and into some throne chairs that appeared there. Kagome looked around frantically, They can't actually mean-! Adeth had the crystal in her hand and it glowed a bright white,"Let's see you fight against the one you love Kagome Higurashi!"
"No you can't!" Kagome pleaded.
But the white light struck the glass had that held the future Inuyasha. Everyone gasped as the crystal began to crack and little bits began to fall. Kagome backed away from her husband. The crystal kept cracking and chipping off.
"And let's make this interesting,"said Death. She put up her hand and the others beside Priestess Kagome were thrown back a wall of a clear glass kept them from reaching them. Kagome looked back at them. All of them were pounding on the glass to protect her, even Inuyasha tried to bring it down with his Tetsaiga, but nothing happened.
Adeth and Death gave a shrilly evil laugh,"Now Kagome, meet your new and improved husband, Inuyasha!"
The glass shattered and she was surrounded by light. The light died down and among the broken shards of his prison, Inuyasha emerged. His ember eyes were blank and his face showed no expression whatsoever. He wore only his outside haori and was open to his bare chest and his usual thick pants.
Kagome backed away and looked into his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. She saw nothing. No hope, anger, sadness, nothing. And that scared Kagome senseless. This was not her hanyou.
"Inuyasha please,"she muttered. Her eyes began to glisten from upcoming tears.
"Inuyasha, kill Kagome," Adeth ordered in a calm chilling voice.
"Inuyasha no!" Kagome cried out.
Tears began to stream down, but he could not hear her and he cracked his knuckles and charged at Kagome and clawed at her around the middle. Kagome bent backwards to avoid his attack and she flipped back,"Inuyasha, it's me! It's Kagome!" She screamed, trying to get his attention.
Death laughed,"He has no idea, who you are! He doesn't even know who he is! He is under our control."
Inuyasha kicked at Kagome and she barely missed him. He didn't have the prayer beads around his neck and Kagome found herself wishing that she never took them off on thier wedding day.
The Inuyasha with the rosarylooked at them with wide eyes, Kagome's worse fear is me? He looked at the school girl Kagome, Wait! She's not afraid of me, she's afraid of fighting me! Of losing me!How can I do something like that!
"Inuyasha stop it! Control yourself!" Miroku from the other side screamed at his companion,"That's your wife goddammit!"
Death appeared in front of him but behind the glass,"You need something better to do, he can't hear any of you except for us. Maybe we should give you a challenge. What do you think Adeth?" She looked up at her creator. Miroku and the rest were wide eyed at them.
Adeth smiled,"I think they should enduce what Kagome has to." The crystal grew white again and Mazuki and Naori stirred. Sango ran towards her daughter, but Miroku grabbed her arm and held her back with his staff to her chest,"They are not themselves Sango!"
She fought against him,"I don't care! I will not have anyone else under someone's control only to have me lose them! I will not allow it to happen again goddammit!"
Sango had tears streaming down her face as Mazuki and Naori both stood up. Both blank eyes and expressionless, both under control as Inuyasha.
Naori clicked her claws and began to walk forward. Mazuki grabbed a switchblade from her boots and flicked the knife out. They began to advance on them while Sango sobbed.
"Please Mazuki, Naori, don't do this." Sango said breathlessly. Tears continued to stream down her pink cheeks. Mazuki advanced on them. Naori turned to Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha grabbed her waist and pulled her back to protect her, to protect her from thier future daughter that was now under a trance.
Mazuki jumped up in the air and did a spinning kick at her parents. Sango was too in shock and in sorrow to move and Miroku had to push her to keep her from getting hit. Mazuki's foot met his hand and she flipped back.
Naori charged at Inuyasha and Kagome with her claws bright for her next attack. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped back from the Iron Reever attack.
Mazuki ran at Miroku, but instead jumped over him and at the past Miroku. She kicked him in the chest and grabbed his staff. Miroku grabbed hold of his staff and he and Mazuki fought over it. He let go when she bit his hand and she jumped back and struck down at the Sango with the boomerang. Miroku dove for Sango and he pushed her out of the way.
Naori popped her knuckles and charged once again at them. Inuyasha growled and readied himself for her attack. Naori jumped in the air and punched at Inuyasha towards his face. He grabbed her fist and she tried to punch him again but he also grabbed that too.
Kagome flipped backwards from Inuyasha's Iron Reever. Her hanyou was still fighting her, but she couldn't bring herself to fight him, even if it wasn't him. She ducked from his fist as it hit the wall. He was too close so she kicked him in the chest with both her feet and it backed him off enough for her to get up. I'm sorry Inuyasha!
He kicked at her and struck her shoulder and she hit the glass. He was just about to punch her when she threw him back with a spiritual barrier.
He jumped back up and ran at her. She flipped over him and landed behind him on all fours. He turned and looked at her. A glint sparkled in his eyes for a second. Was that, was that sorryness? It only lasted a second, but in that one moment, he showed a sign of emotion. He can break the spell! I know he can!
But Inuyasha was back to his empty self and ran at Kagome and punched her straight in the gut. Saliva spat from Kagome's mouth as he struck her. Inuyasha could hit hard, it was the strongest punch she ever felt.
She fell back and was doubled over in pain. He knocked the breath out of her and she began gaping like a fish until oxygen was able to fill her lungs. She got up before he could hit her with his drop kick. She backed against the wall as he began to stalk towards her.
Inuyasha had Naori's fists in his own and he slammed her to the ground and then sat on her. She struggled, but he was too heavy and didn't budge. "Hey,"he called out to Sango and Miroku,"They're only kids, we can beat 'em!"
Miroku blinked and looked down at his daughter. He was right. It might've been his daughter, but he could still beat her. He took out his sutras and they wrapped themselves around her wrists and legs and covered her mouth. Mazuki struggled, but she could not beat the bonds and gave up. Inuyasha looked up at the glass and at the struggling Kagome who was fighting himself.
Kagome was thrown against the wall and she fell to the floor. Her back ached and she felt very weak and sore. He walked over to her and kicked her on her stomach. Sango pounded on the glass that seperated her and her best friend. Kagome looked into his blank eyes. He looked into her teary brown eyes. So much sadness. He had caused that.
Sadness filled his eyes as he gazed at his wife, beat up and breathing hard. He wanted to stop, but he had no control of his body. "Kill her Inuyasha!" Damanded Adeth.
Please Kagome, don't let me do this! He grabbed the handle of his Tetsaiga and began to unsheath it. All while he stared at Kagome, his mind was screaming at him, Dammit! I can't do this to her. Stop goddamit! STOP!
Kagome gasped and realized that true tears were upcoming from his eyes. He didn't want to do this, and he needed her help. She kicked the sword and it flew from his hand and clattered on the floor a foot away. He looked at it.
Now's my chance! Kagome sat up and grabbed Inuyasha by his shirt and pulled him towards her. Her lips crashed on his as she kissed him.
Everyone gasped and Inuyasha and Kagome were both blushing. Please Inuyasha, don't leave us! Be with us! Return to me!
Inuyasha was wide eyed from her choice of defense. Suddenly it was like the bond that Adeth had on him was weakening. He closed his eyes and took in her taste. He put his arm behind her and moved her in closer to him.
The bond shattered. Inuyasha was no longer under thier control, he was with Kagome.
They pulled back. He was back to normal. His ember eyes were filled with life, sadness, happiness, love, sorryness. He looked into her eyes. Like windows, he could see into her soul. She smiled as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. He could see happiness, love, joy, and best of all, forgiveness.
He grabbed her and held her to his chest,"I'm so sorry Kagome. I tried to stop, I tried not to hurt you."
She wrapped her arms across his waist,"I know,Inuyasha, I know." Tears fell onto his kimono.
They both got up and looked at the wall. Inuyasha picked up Tetsaiga and it transeformed to it's fang blade. "Stand back!" He told everyone. They all grabbed the kids and moved away from the wall. Inuyasha struck the wall with his blade and it shattered. He sheathed his sword and smiled at the others,"Hi!"
Miroku smiled and shook his head,"We got some business to take care of." Inuyasha nodded and everyone looked up at Adeth and Death.
"Dammit!" Adeth cursed. Death growled with big eyes of disbeleif. Inuyasha began to walk towards them, followed by the others. Death ran off in the opposite direction to escape them.
"Oh no you don't!" Inuyasha jumped infront of her,"You ain't leaving that easily!" Death stopped and ran in the other direction but they had them surrounded. Adeth growled as she looked around.
"You can't defeat me! This is my world!" Adeth screamed at him. She continued to back away, but Sango and Miroku closed her in with Death.
Inuyasha laughed,"If you haven't noticed there are eight of us and only two of you, and judging by the odds, you don't stand a chance." They began to close in on them.
Kagome glared at Adeth. Suddenly Death jumped up and ran at Sango. Miroku jumped in the way and stopped her with his staff as he pushed her back. Death clawed at him, but Miroku kicked her in the middle and she was doubled over. Death looked around for her escape. Then she charged at the school girl Kagome with her claws raised above her head.
Kagome gasped, but Inuyasha stabbed her with his clawed hand and it stabbed right through her chest. Blood oozed down his arm as she gasped and cried out in pain.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango's blade came rushing through and Death's eyes widened as she couldn't move. She screamed as the boomerang bone flew at her head.
Suddenly the screaming stopped and blood splattered everywhere. It poured like rain and Death's head fell down in the middle of the circle and Inuyasha let her body drop. Adeth screamed.
"You killed her! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Adeth's eyes were flashing red and her wings had turned black and she was gaining energy,"Death and I shall become one!"
A/N: I know what my problem is! I remembered that when I wrote this, I wrote it in one night, that the Inuyasha movie was playing and that'swhy it's so corny! I was busy writing this and watching the movie! Also I'm just plain crazy. So Rand R and I'll give you a cookie.
