Hello everyone!

Damn them all.
Anyways, I only got two reviews this time (Aries and ultimateromantic), and I totally thank them for their support!

They flew through the air towards the direction that Makia told them, "The castle is beyond those mountains in the horizon, we have to move fast, but even then we won't be able to reach her until tomorrow."
Inuyasha looked back at Makia, who was on Kirara, "Didn't you say that she didn't have much time left! Then we have to keep going, no stopping until we get to her!"
She returned his look of defiance, "And what if we do? What will you do then Inuyasha? You will be tired and unfocused. Kagome will die once again if you do not take this seriously."
"Don't you dare tell me that I don't take this seriously! YOU didn't know her, you never knew her. How can you even attempt to feel what we feel?" Hi his eyes flashed red and he struggled to calm himself.
This time Makia spoke more softly, "You are right, I do not know who she truly was, nor how special she must have been to you. However, I know that for some reason I know where she is and how to save her. And I know that if we don't do this right you'll lose her again. Her heart is strong, and she has been able to wait on this earth for you, defying all laws. You need to wait as well, there will be a time where you'll be together again, but it is not today."
Inuyasha's ears had gone flat against his head. I know I have to wait. But I don't have the guarantee that she's going to be safe until I get there. I already lost her once, I can't let this chance of getting her back just pass by. She's only a soul right now, and captured by Naraku. I won't let you out of my sight again... Kagome...
"Fine, we'll go a little further and then we'll set up camp. We need all the strength we can get, tomorrow won't be an easy battle."
"Well Inuyasha, you sounded like Miroku right there! Maybe you'll give him some competition in speech making!"
"Shut up Sango, there's no way that I could be like that lecher." He smirked. At least his friends we're trying to light up the mood.
Miroku smiled smugly, "Tis true Sango. I am a being that is supremely special. No mere person could
become what I am, even Inuyasha here. My grand ways in speech making are unequaled by others."
Miroku's smiled vanished as Sango's hiraiktsu landed an inch above his head, Sango's hand holding it tauntingly by the corner. "Do you wish to make any speeches now Miroku?"
"No my dear, I guess I'll wait..."
"Good."
The mood was lighter between the companions as they set up camp, but they all knew what would happen tomorrow. Tomorrow would not only be the day that they would have to rescue Kagome, but also the day that they would probably have to face Naraku's full force. For all they knew, the final battle could be upon them in a question of a few hours.
With these thoughts in mind, the group went to sleep that night. Miroku and Sango dismissed all thoughts of hiding their relationship as they snuggled next to each other under an oak tree. Sango rubbed her arms to take the cold away, Miroku enveloped her in his arms and brought her as close as possible without hurting her. She buried her face against his chest, a small mumble could be heard from the cloths.
"Miroku, do you think tomorrow will go ok?"
"I don't know Sango, I can't know if we will come out alive tomorrow or if we will be able to bring Kagome back; all I know is that we have to try our best." He held her tighter, "I'll be right next to you, don't worry. At least you'll know my hand cannot wander too far away from your butt."
She smacked him lightly on the shoulder, "I know. We'll try to succeed. For us, Kagome, Inuyasha, and the others. But for now, let's go to sleep, we need our strength for tomorrow. Do you think that Inuyasha will be ok?"
"Knowing him he'll fight until he gets Kagome back. Even if he has to die."
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
A few steps away Inuyasha watched his two friends embrace happily, They finally realized the truth. And how in hell did I not notice before? I mean, it's not like it was obvious...
Makia directed her gaze to Inuyasha, "You will have that soon. Do not worry, it'll all be over tomorrow and you'll be able to live with her. You ARE planning to start a new life with her, right?"
"Of course I am, I'll make her my mate! If she wants to be, it's her choice."
"Why do you think that she would want it any other way?"
"She has another life in her era, I can't ask her to give it up for me. She has to chose her own life, but she'll probably never get rid of me..." He smiled childishly, it was the first time he spoke openly about what he felt for Kagome. Heh, a total stranger gets to hear m y life's story. Ironic.
Makia smiled, "Yes I do believe that she'll find it hard to get rid of you. And even so, I find it that it'll be just as hard for you to get rid of her."
"Feh" was all that he said.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Morning came all too quickly and they headed out towards Naraku's castle. Even though it was morning the sky was dark and it looked as if a storm was going to come.
Inuyasha jumped higher into the air, the mountains were not far away and from there they could see an ominous aura making itself known. They stopped at the top of one of the mountains, Miroku spoke, "Inuyasha, is there any plan of action that we should take? Or are we gonna barge in there and just do as we must?"
"What do you think? It's never been any other way. Naraku doesn't even deserve the planning of his demise."
As they flew off the mountain, they neared the barrier that protected the castle beyond. "He's getting cocky. The bastard. He didn't even try to disguise his barrier."
"Maybe he knows it won't make a difference." As the others waited for Inuyasha to raise his sword Makia spoke up and stopped Inuyasha. "Do not waste your energy with this task. I shall take care of this."
She raised her hands as a white light started to emit from them. She silently uttered unknown words until the ball of light grew brighter and brighter. She then let the ball go floating towards the purple barrier. As it neared it, the sphere grew and grew and as it touched the barrier it disintegrated it in an instant.
Everyone's eyes widened with shock. Miroku leaned over to Sango, "Impressive" he whispered.
Inuyasha let out a laugh, "I could have done the same wench, nothing very special about it."
Makia ignored him, "Let's move, we don't want those storm clouds to come upon us soon. This baka here might attract lightning."
"Shut it bitch"
I'm coming for ya Kagome...
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Naraku P.O.V. (Kinda)
"They are here."
Kagome's head snapped up as she heard Naraku speak. His head was now turned around to face outside the window. Kanna was at a corner of the room, silent as ever; Kagura was flying around the castle grounds, getting ready for the battle.
"Your friends have come. And apparently they have someone else with them." Makia my dear, how long has it been since I saw you last. This time you shall not escape this easily. Your demise will finally come to you by my hands. Treachery is not something I am fond of.
He turned to look back at Kagome. Her skin was pale, her clothes tattered, and she looked as frail as a newborn kitten; her arms held trapped by shackles on the wall. It was a miracle she had even survived her ordeal. Her eyes, however weak she might seem, were dark and smoldering. O how she hated him so.
Her eyes had widened at his announcement of Inuyasha's arrival and she sighed happily, "I told you he would come for me. You won't live this one Naraku. Be sure of that."
He smirked, Ah yes, hmm, always the defiant one. "Yes Kagome, he has come, but do not underestimate my power. Inuyasha will be mine, this battle is not like the others, this time he shall not escape."
"He will. And you shall die. You'll finally die after all the lives you have destroyed."
"Do you mean your family Kagome? Or is it Kohaku? Or your own companions? The lives I have ruined have all been part of my special plan to get the entire shikon jewel. If all of you would just have succumbed and given me the jewel, none of what has been done would have passed."
"Are you trying to say that it's our fault you bastard! We couldn't let you have the jewel. You would have done the same as you have done already, wreaked havoc among all of us. This time will be your last."
He looked out the window again, "So you say my dear... so you say."
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
The castle was huge. It would be a wonder how they would find Naraku and Kagome in time. Kagura could be seen flying in the air around the castle, but she kept her distance. As Sango, Makia, and Miroku got off Kirara Sango spoke, "What is going on? Usually legions of demons attack us when we enter the barrier, what is Naraku planning now?"
Inuyasha sniffed around, "I don't know ... That bastard seems to have something up his sleeve. We can't stand here though, we have to go inside.."
They all looked at him in confusion as his eyes widened. Inuyasha ran towards the front of the castle and halted in front of the door. The others followed worriedly. "What's going on Inuyasha!" Miroku looked at him and then towards the sight he was watching.
There on the window next to the door was Kagome, her face full of tears as she saw him. She whispered his name and held a shackled hand to him.
Before he could move forward he realized he could not move.
"Hello Inuyasha, I hope you've come prepared."
Naraku appeared form the door, "You shall soon see that this fight will not be like the others before."
Damn you.
