Remember we're starting before the last chapter, okay, that chapter was just to get to know the new creatures…
Ah, this chapter shall be dedicated to:
Yami-Yugi-Girl another long time reviewer (Even though she didn't review the last chapter)
And also a new reviewer who read all 10 chapters in one sitting, give it up for
Angel61991 And we cant forgetJazzie
Who did the same thing…I think And someone else just did the same thing and that would be YoukaiTajiyaSangoREAD NEXT PARAGRAPH BELOW, VERY IMPORTANT.
Let me know what you think, I cant really write battle scenes so this prob. sucks. I'll come back and add more if you want me to. Next up after this will be seven different chapters from different points of view. Those SHOULD BE fast, depending on your reviews! Some parts will be missing this is because they will occur within the point of view chapters. If you do not like this chapter than say so, I will see what I can do and post it again as chapter 12. Okay? Okay. Thanks, Aria. (Go enjoy your read…I hope :P it may be a little OOC)
Last time:
"Inuyasha!" She screamed. "We need help!" she ducked as her arrow came flying back at her.
"I know!" he yelled over his shoulder.
"Kami bless us…" Miroku yelled.
"I will avenge my family this time!" Sango screamed and Naraku smiled wryly.
From the fog of the tree's on the right of Kagome's group, emerged a shadowy figure. Kagome gasped.
This Time:
Chapter 11: And the Heat builds
The fog around the mystic figure lifted to reveal…Kikyou. "Kikyou," Kagome whispered. Kikyou turned her gaze to Kagome and Inuyasha and, (Kagome thought she saw her smile,) walked up next to Kagome, right behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked back at her, his Wind Scar had done little damage against Naraku (Though it did add a bleeding cut to his right cheek thanks to Shippo's timing.) "It's time for you to die Naraku," she said. At this statement chaos broke loose.
Everything seemed to happen at once, Kagome rushed in to get to Naraku, Kikyou at her side. They moved with each other, Kagome's step equaling Kikyou's, Kikyou's movements Kagome's. They formed a sort of dance together, moving at the same time and firing at the same place. The first time they fired together, their arrows met mid-air, coming together to form a large arrow with combined powers of both miko's. Naraku's eyes widened as the barrier before him was broken. As one voice Kagome and Kikyou said, "It's over Naraku," Naraku ran, two girls on his tail.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was battling Kagura. Two things had gone through his mind to lead him to this decision. One was, Kikyou was in Kagome's hands and Kagome in Kikyou's, they would work together against Naraku well. The second one was that only he could get through Kagura's wind attacks. Wildly he leaped around Kagura, waiting for the precise moment to unleash his most powerful attack. After what seemed like ages, Kagura faltered after something pink draped across her vision like a blindfold. Seeing his opportunity he yelled "Shippo move!" and the little pink blob left Kagura's vision. As he started to yell his attack he noticed something moving at his side.
Sparing a quick glance he noticed Kikyou's soul takers seemingly floating along next to him. Without sparing them a thought he yelled "Bakuryu-ha!" and Tetsusaiga's most powerful attack was released. Kagura yelped as her winds disappeared, and she had barley enough time to move before they hit. As she moved, she fell, right into the soul takers clutches. They held her steadfast. Nodding, Inuyasha grudgingly knew that he could put his energy to more use right now than killing Kagura and ran off across the battlefield to where Miroku was pinned by a demon. He noticed the pink blob that was Shippo's changed form move off in the direction of Kagome and Kikyou. "Stay out of harms way," he whispered, not knowing the little demon kit could hear him.

Kagome and Kikyou chased after Naraku, shooting as one, sometimes the arrows going in different directions. Their legs arms and faces all bore numerous small scrapes and bruises from the underbrush. Kagome had one long cut down her right arm, but with Kikyou's right arms strength to help, she barely noticed, and continued. She continued the chase.

Sango's eyes were wide and had some tears in them as she swung her Hiraikotsu at her brother. His eyes were red and his nails were elongated, he was acting strangely like a demon. Sango ducked an attack from her brother and swung her bone in, hitting him squarely in the stomach and knocking him to the ground. Kilala, who had joined the battle, growled and ran through the air to land on Kohaku. Her tail swished menacingly as she avoided attacks from the young man-demon. Sango raced over to her brother and swung her boomerang away, tears dripping down her eyes. She knelt down next to her brother, not noticing that her Hiraikotsu came back, something red dripping from it.
Kneeling down she ordered Kilala off of her brother when his eyes were closed. She didn't expect him to leap back up at her, his blade outstretched. Kilala, in her small form now, leaped forward to her young friends neck, grabbing and yanking free the chain that held the blood red demon-bead there. Sango's eyes widened and Kohaku's cleared and he stumbled forward.
0000000
A whizzing sound and a widening of eyes did not help poor reaction time. In a matter of seconds and a dull but painful thud on the head was all that was needed to end a life. One down in a matter of seconds.
0000000
Kagura watched the battle without squirming against her bonds, for she could feel the eyes of her capors watching her. Then suddenly her eyes widened and she began to squirm, only the gag of on of her captors keeping her from screaming.
0000000
Inuyasha swung his sword, killing a hundred venomous wasps in the air. Then he turned his attention to Miroku, who was had just apparently poked a large creature in the eye, turning it into a small mouse. Now that Inuyasha approached, the mouse became a large beast sprouting legs and tail of a wolf, body, arms and head of a human (with beak and eyes of an eagle), and wings of a bald eagle.
Inuyasha stopped to look at the thing and almost laughed. "What is that thing?" he yelled at Miroku, while avoiding a hit from it.
"I believe that's a…shape shifter," Miroku explained, he was now stepping back as each attack was thrown at him, thrusting his staff in front of him as he stepped. His hair and prayer beads swung wildly.
"That's just great," Inuyasha yelled. "Now let's get rid of it."
Miroku nodded as the attacks stopped and the beast once more turned its magnificent head to Inuyasha. Inuyasha readied himself for the attack as Miroku jammed his staff in the ground. Hands on the beads around his wrist, (he vaguely noticed the lack of venomous wasps and silently told himself to remember to thank Inuyasha for that.) He let out a whistle. "Hey, you there," He yelled. "Big, ugly, stupid thing." The beast turned to look at him (as did Inuyasha, a look on his face that plainly said "Is Miroku nuts?" while admiring him for being so stupid at the same time.) The beast turned into a bull and, eyes flaring, charged at Miroku. Grinning Miroku yelled "Wind Tunnel!" and yanked the Prayer beads. As he did this, the beast changed into a large venom wasp. The two men's eyes widened. If Miroku closed the hole now, he would get hit for sure, and if he didn't, the venom inside the wasp would kill him. In slow motion Inuyasha opened his mouth and yelled…

Koga sprinted farther down, jumping and throwing a kick at the semi-transparent transporting demon. Sweat showed on his face and dripped down into his eyes. Even being fast this was a hard work out. But anything to avenge his pack. The demon transported and Koga's kick slipped through. This was what he had been expecting though. Landing, he pivoted on his foot to throw a kick at the demon, who showed up where his back was a moment before. What he didn't anticipate for this time was the large blade right in the way of his foot. He was going straight for it!
000000
Kikyou and Kagome had stopped trying Kagome's idea of arrows. Now they were resting on the backs of Kikyou's friends, their hands flaring with color. As they raced over treetops they searched for Naraku, Kikyou leading Kagome through power exercises that a more experienced Miko might know. They reached a clearing from the trees, right near the battlefield, where they could see everything going on. Suddenly, a large tentacle reached up between them. The girls shrieked as one, and tried to divide across the tentacle . But the thing was to big. They were going to get caught…
000000
Akane dodged a burst of water emitting from the bracelet that dangled on the wrist of her demon. Attacking the demon with a low kick, she had to jump to avoid getting hit by a staff wielded by the demon in front of her. "It's a good thing you're a female demon," she panted, swinging another kick, this time at the head of the demon, while her fist flew towards the stomach. "Losing to Ranma is bad enough, I couldn't stand to lose to another guy," she laughed weakly at the thought, and noticed her plan had worked. As the demon went to block her kick, her punch threw it backward. But not before something hard cracked against Akane's right wrist. Blinded by pain, she fell into something soft and her mind panicked. What did she fall into?"
000000
Ranma ducked a stream of fire that flew at him and used the motion to throw a sweeping kick at the ground. So far he hadn't caused much damage to his opponent though he was sure he had received a few burns himself. He was beginning to tire of this and his mind wanted to wander. He was beginning to wonder how he was going to defeat this demon when something hit his back. Spinning around he found himself staring at Akane. Her face was pale and her wrist hung at an odd angle, but her eyes were open and she was conscious. He heard her say "Duck." Before he was pulled to the ground.
Over his head whizzed a stream of water. Turning his head from where he was, he saw it hit the demon he had been battling. A series of sputters and hisses followed and the demon was gone, destroyed by a fellow ally. Looking down, he realized he was on his hands and knees over Akane. His heart seemed to melt at the look of pain on her face, and he felt the need to make it better.
Swooping down, he landed a kiss on her mouth, holding it for a second. He could feel Akane struggle before giving in and soon a path of cold water pushed him away from her. "Drat this curse," he muttered, but he felt alive now. Helping Akane to her feet they went to attack the demon, Akane gingerly holding her wrist as she threw lower kicks.
00000
Kikyou was grabbed by the tentacle and torn apart from her 'sister' in combat. Kagome felt the pain of being pulled away from her other part. Infuriated, she shot a bolt of pure Miko color down at the tentacle and it recoiled, allowing her to join with her other half again. Together they descended gracefully.
00000
Koga ducked the blade, driving his foot along the ground to create a trench. As he neared the demon, he went under its legs with the trench and drove upwards, knocking the demon on the ground. He approached it and delivered the final blow to it. He smiled in satisfaction, and, looking up, he saw Kagome and Kikyo, seemingly floating from the air to land in a field near to him. Nodding grimly he raced towards where she had landed.
00000
Akane and Ranma delivered the final kick to their foe. Making sure it was dead they looked into each other's eyes.
"Ranma…" Akane started.
Ranma put his finger to his lips. "Let's just get this done first," he said, pointing into the direction that Koga had ran off in and where they had seen Kagome and Kikyo a minute earlier.
Jogging off in that direction, Akane slipped her good hand into Ranma's and smiled as they ran off to where they suspected Naraku was.
00000
Kagura finally stopped struggling against her bonds and now allowed herself to go limp, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the sight a few feet in front of her. It had happened so fast. Kanna was only supposed to be watching the battle and deflecting anything into the direction of their enemy that came at her. But she had failed to see the boomarang coming. Kagura had glimpsed the scene of the Demon Slayer throwing the bone away, but she didn't realize…
Now Kanna was lying on the ground, her body limp, her mirror broken and at her hand. She looked so sad. Kagura gave another choking sob as she looked at her fallen friend. Her sister. "She never even had her heart!" she yelled into the bonds of the Soul Takers. "And don't you take her soul!" she yelled at them on aftermath. She just received glares from them. She went back to sobbing for the dead Kanna, blood slowly trickling from her head. "She didn't deserve this," she wept, lowering her head and letting the tears splash down her face.
00000
"Miroku, no!" Inuyasha yelled, as he jumped forward, putting himself between the wind tunnel (and Miroku) and the venomous wasp. He jammed his sword into the belly of the beast and felt himself being tugged into infinity. The wasp fell and he dropped his sword, his last piece of memory left for Kagome, he let a single tear trickle down his face as his world went black. "I love you, Kagome. I'm sorry…" he though, half out loud.
00000
Sango's eyes couldn't seem to go any wider, but they did. Time couldn't seem to go any slower, but that did too. Tears spilled down her eyes as Kohaku sped towards her, no longer a demon-boy anymore. She willed her arms to move and they did, just not fast enough. She had already retaliated, her hands had moved without her body, and now they were to slow.
She tried to scream as Kohaku sped towards the sword that was retreating very slowly from infront of Sango's body. She tried to move it faster, but she couldn't. The look in Kohaku's eyes turned to fear. She felt the impact of his body falling into her sword and she cursed time for taking this moment to speed up time. This moment for her arms to stop feeling like lead and to pull the sword out of her brothers middle.
She rolled her brother over on his back, blood trickling out of the corners of his mouth.
"Kohaku, No!" She choked out. His life was slowly draining from him. She picked up his frail body and hugged him close.
"Sister…" he said, his voice feeble and week.
Sango gasped and carefully placed him down again. His eyes were filled with love, not hate, as she had half expected from someone who was about to die at his sisters hands.
"Kohaku," she said, her voice was wavering and her eyes had tears spilling out of them at an almost constant rate, but amazingly, she could still see. "I'm so sorry, Kohaku…I…I didn't mean it."
"Not…your…fault." He choked the words out. "Ineventible…anyway…with…jewel…and all." His voice was defiently getting lower and lower now. He reached a feeble hand back to plunge into his back with a sickening feeling and noise. "Take…it…for me," he said. "give to…that…nice Lady…Kagome…"
Sango nodded, unable to say anything. She had to be brave for her brother, but she couldn't.
"Don't worry…" he said again, his eyelids were closing now. "Not…scared. Love…you…sister."
Sango couldn't help it, she had to say something now as she hugged her brother. "shhh," she said. "I love you too, Kohaku. Say hi to dad for me."
The dying boy nodded and smiled and, with his last breath, placed a kiss on his sisters cheek.
Sango's gave a loud cry and hugged her brother close, kissing him back as his body went limp and his heart stopped beating.

He opened his eyes to find himself staring at Miroku, who had sweat rolling down his face and was shaking the mans shoulders hard. As his eyes opened Miroku let go, but not before hitting him in the gut. The man sat up fast, but regretted it instantly as his head throbbed.
"Never ever, do that again!" Miroku yelled at Inuyasha. "NEVER has someone been so idiotic to jump in front of a Wind Tunnel! I almost couldn't pull you out! Thought you were a gonner for sure. Kagome woulda killed me! Miroku shrieked.
Inuyasha glared at the man feebly. "If I didn't know better I'd think you were in love with me," he teased.
"Glad you have a sense of humor now," Miroku said tartly. But then his gaze softened. "But you are like a brother to me," he said, looking away.
Inuyasha looked at the man, shocked. "I guess that's the same here," he said.
The other man looked at him fondly, surprised that the gruff part dog demon understood. "What possessed you to do that anyway?" he asked, standing up while helping Inuyasha up.
Inuyasha stared at him for a second, thinking. "Sango." He said simply.
"Ah…" Miroku said. "Speaking of which…" a loud cry interrupted them. They exchanged glances and ran off to where the noise came from, only to find Sango there, her brothers body in her arms and Kilala nuzzling the two of them.
Miroku ran over to Sango and embraced her in his arms.
"Miroku," Inuyasha whispered. "We can't stay here long."
Miroku nodded into Sango's head and whispered something to the small cat demon. Kilala nodded and transformed into her larger self. She bent her head and allowed Miroku to place Sango on, after quietly convincing her to let go of Kohaku for now ("No one will take his body, I promise," he had said, putting up a barrier around his loves dead brothers body.) Grabbing the boomerang, he climbed onto the large cat demon and helped Inuyasha up.
Sango was staring off into space until they started flying.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"To kill Naraku," Miroku replied.

Inuyasha in Love Mini series:
Kagome was walking though the building where she worked at carrying a stack of paperwork. Walking past the front doors she gave no notice to the man who walked in until she heard a low whistle that a man used when he saw a cute girl. Spinning around angrily at the person who did that, she found herself encompased in a hug. Squished between paperwork and the body of the man hugging her, she didn't know who it was until…
"I missed you while I was away Kagome…"
"Inuyasha," she said breathlessly, pulling away to look into his eyes.
"the one and only," he said, his eyes dancing as he pulled her into another hug.
000000000
