A/N: Hey all, sorry it took so long to write this but I lacked to reviews of inspiration…yes sad I know? Up till now I had been getting about 6 reviews a chapter (even though it wasn't that) an I wanted that again but it didn't happen. Then the whole cant respond to review things. But I'm going to rebel…I have all your reviews saved and am ready to fight this thing head on. (yes, headstrong aren't I?)
Dedications: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Veglma and YoukaiTajiyaSango …cause I feel like it…
NOTE ON THE CHAPTER: THIS IS IN THE END OF CHAPTER NINE AS THE BATTLE BEGINS OKAY? SAME WITH THE NEXT…SEVEN OR SO CHAPTERS! Sorry if this is out of character (OOC) It probably will cause, who can get in Inuyasha's brain -.- Oh yea and if there's a curse I dont curse so missing letters will be filled in like so --
Chapter 12: Through Inuyasha's eyes
Sweat pours down my face, and my hands feel sweaty too. The sword in my hands feels heavier than usual, and my eyes are scratchy, the result of trying not to blink in the face of an enemy. I feel Kagome behind me to the left and I almost wine at the smell of her panic and determination. But I need to take care of Naraku now, for me and for my kids.
Something is gripping my heart now, almost like saying "You cant die now, don't loose it now bucko!" and I know I have to win this for me and my kids. Suddenly everything feels light, and I hear myself snarl "WIND SCAR!" thrashing an attack in Narkau's direction.
In a nearby tree, I hear Shippo calling out "Fox Fire!" and dropping a firey leaf down at Naraku. Da-- b-stard didn't even feel a thing. My right ear twitches, and I hear noise off in the distance, and, my eyes widen and I feel for the first time in a long time a slight amount of fear (a human emotion I despise so much) as five figures come out from the trees. This can't be good.
Kagome's scent is filled with fear and it makes me thing she's going to break down, but I know her to well. Everyone else's scent is strong too, with fear and determination, and I know, each of them has a motive. I begin to think, letting my mind go off on its own while my body can do what it has to, something you have to learn, when you're a hanyou. And, I begin to think, that suddenly, 'I have a family, for the first time since my mother died. Sesshomaru has never been a real brother to me, (I can feel my lip curl at the thought, and distantly wonder if Naraku is taking that as a sign of something other than what I'm thinking. Being the idiotic dolt he is, I'm betting so…) I try to keep thinking but suddenly, something jerks at a corner of my mind, like another part has been calculating as I've been daydreaming (who's a smart hanyou now, I begin to wonder) and as I begin to think this Kagome's voice calls to me,
"Inuyasha, we need help!" she sounds frantic, and I realize we all probably are. I nod to her,
"I know!" I yell over my shoulder, (distantly hearing Miroku whisper a prayer to Kami,) focusing on Naraku still, such a dimwit, and I begin to think 'he probably has a brain the size of a pea if that…I mean come on…someone with intentions like the ones he has. He can't even think of a good way to kill the world besides making reincarnations of himself…I really wonder how he does that…I mean it kind of smells like him but did it really come from him? That would be wrong…really wrong….' But something pulls me away, my nose twitches as I realize before anyone else that someone's approaching, and who else other than…
"Kikyou," Kagome whispered, and her scent spiked with uncertainty, but then calmed down for an unknown reason. Astonishment is really flowing through me right now…
I watch Kikyou through the corner of my eye as she walks near Kagome. Suddenly, I feel a…unity…between all of us, and it warms my heart. I look back to Kikyou and she suddenly speaks, her voice filled with cold hatred, "It's time for you to die Naraku," and I back her up tenfold, and for some reason I feel like I could laugh, for I feel reassured.
Looking at the line of cronies Naraku has, I start measuring them up, as I realize he-- is going to break lose soon. With a careful eye, I look at them all and decide that Kagura is the best opponent for me, I can easily conquer her with my Wind Scar! I feel no need to worry about Kagome or Kikyou, because, something just tells me, whispering into my ear, that they are very capable to be in each-others hands.
Kikyou and Kagome speak, as one, "It's over Naraku," and I leap forward towards Kagura. My hands move on their own as I put all my will power into the blade, letting it take a mind of its own to avoid the winds. I hardly notice the pressure ringing up and down my arms, and my concentration is to deep to notice where anyone went, other than that they have defiently left my side now.
Blowing, striking and parrying, I keep my carefully trained eye watching for an opening and suddenly my heart soars as something pink slides down over Kagura's eyes. I smile for a second and yell, "SHIPPO, MOVE!" and the pink blob hurried away so I could make my attack.
Suddenly, Kikyou's soul takers are next to me and I don't know why, I just know they don't mean me harm, so I ignore them. Yelling "Bakuryu-ha!" I slash my sword toward Kagura and the winds surrounding her disappeared and she fell, right into Kikyou's 'friends' clutches.
She's held fast and I nod, moving on now seems to be the best thing to do. Looking around I notice how barren it is now, and wonder where everyone got off to. I spare a glance towards the hut where I can hear little whines of my pups, and know I really have to win this, just to see them grow up to be strong.
Looking around again, I see Miroku struggling against a strange demon and I run to help, also seeing out of the corner of my eye Shippo moving off in the other direction. "Stay out of harms way," I whisper to him as I run off to help Miroku.
0000000
My mind whizzes as I near Miroku. For the first time I realize, we all have to pull through this for me to get through it. Reaching Miroku I notice the wasps hanging around the air, and I feel a very strong annoyance to them, stupid pests, always getting in the way, and I throw an attack at them, killing them all in one stroke and very glad that I learned how to do this attack.
I turn to help Miroku and can't help but want to laugh at the sight I see. Never before have I seen something like this. It's almost as Ugly as Sesshomaru!…almost…a creature (that I thought I had seen as a mouse before o.O) 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.
Laughing (at least in my mind) I yell to Miroku "What IS that thing?" as I avoid getting hit by the strange demon. "I believe that's a…shape shifter," Miroku half pants back to me, his beads swinging wildly as he thrusts his staff out and steps back to avoid a hit from the beast.
"That's just great," I say sarcastically, not really caring what it is, as long as we can kill it easily. "Now let's get rid of it…."
I half watch as Miroku throws his staff in the ground and puts his hands on his prayer beads. I don't pay attention when he puts his fingers to his lips, that is until he whistles (I really want to cover my ears then, can't he think about sensitive ears!) I hear Miroku yell something and put it out of my mind, but only for a second, until I realized what he said.
"Hey you there! Big, ugly, stupid thing!"
I face Mirkou, shocked, and laugh, pushing down the urge to really crack up. Boy, if only I could see the look on my face now. Why would Miroku do such a thing? He'd have to be a moron, which besides a lech, he really is…, but I really do admire him for doing something that idiotic, it half reminds me of…me…
I watch the beast turn into a bull and charge at Miroku, but he's ready, grinning like an idiot (I wonder if he's thinking about groping Sango at that moment, the way his face looks,) and yelled "WIND TUNNEL!" yanking open the prayer beads. We both watch in horror, (Miroku reeks of at this precise instant) as the bull changes into a giant venom wasp. Shocked, I realize, Miroku cant take that much poison and if he closes the tunnel, he'll get hit anyways!
Without thinking, I yell, "Miroku, no!" and I jump forward, between Miroku's tunnel and the venom wasp, and jam my sword into the beast. The beast changes and my sword falls with it as I feel myself being sucked into eternity. I didn't make it, I wont see my pups again, I'm so sorry Kagome! I tried, but Miroku was more important. (At least now I'll have an eternity to think…) I feel tears trickle down my face at the thought of leaving Kagome and the pups alone, but suddenly my world is black…
0000000
My eyes feel like lead and I open them, expecting to see a pitch black abyss with random cows floating around and monsters too…but find myself staring at Miroku's sweaty face. And he was shaking me. Well that explained the feeling that I was lurching around, I think dully. Miroku lets go as he sees my eyes open, but I feel him pound his fist into my stomach. Hard.
"Never ever, do that again!" I hear him yell at me. "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.
I feel myself glare at him feebly. "If I didn't know better I'd think you were in love with me," I tease lightly, for some reason very content with myself right now.
"Glad you have a sense of humor now," Miroku said tartly, and his smell has lingering amounts of worry in it, but his gaze softens. "But you are like a brother to me," he said, looking away.
I feel shocked, but touched, and I realize the feeling is mutual. "I guess that's the same here," I say, looking away…
He looks at me fondly and I assume he's surprised that I, a half dog demon, understand the feeling.
"What possessed you to do that anyway?" he asks, standing up while helping me do the same.
I think, and realize, I don't know, than it hits me, I did it for a sister. "Sango." He I say simply.
"Ah…" Miroku says. "Speaking of which…" a loud cry interrupts him. I exchange a glance with him and we run 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," I whisper cautiously, not wanting to upset him, but stating the facts for the two of them at the same time. "We can't stay here long."
Miroku nods into Sango's head and whispers something to the small cat demon. Kilala nods and transforms into her larger self. She bends her head and allows 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.) (I half notice that his shoulder is also wounded and Sango is clutching something in her fist, but it doesn't strike me as anything suspicious…) Grabbing the boomerang, Miroku climbs onto the large cat demon extends a hand for me to take.
Sango had been staring off into space until we started flying, her scent very sad and lonely.
"Where are we going?" she asks slowly.
"To kill Naraku," Miroku replies and I just nod, staring off over the treeline, gazing at a strange object which looks oddly like Kagome and Kikyou. So they are all right. Good. I don't think I could take her dying…

Inuyasha in love:
Kagome was invited back to her art class, somewhere she hadn't been all summer. She had really missed it and her older friend Miroku was going to go today to see Sango. She walked excitedly to the doors, and saw Miroku talking to someone, and then realized…it was Inuyasha. She turned around and walked away, but spun on her heel and turned back…then away and back again. She walked to the door, put her hand on it, and once more turned away.
"I cant do this!" she whined, and curled up into a ball near the door, her head on her knees and sobbed slightly.
She felt someone crouch down near her, and had not noticed that both Miroku and Inuyasha had seen her. Inuyasha had put up his hand to stop Miroku from going to her and went himself. He was now crouching beside her.
"Kagome?"
"go away."
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"Go.Away," she sobbed. "you're with Kikyou, don't come near me!"
"Kagome…why?"
she sobbed again.
"Don't think I don't want to see you Inuyasha, it's just…you're with her…and this cant be…"
"kagome look at me,"
She shook her head.
"look at me!" he growled.
She looked hesitently and gasped as he pulled her into a hug. "I'm not with Kikyou anymore," he whispered into her ear.
"Why?"
He pulled her away, "Does this answer your question?" and pulled her back into a deep kiss.
Behind them, Sango and Miroku stood together.
"Oh Sango my dear?" Miroku started.
Sango slapped him.
"what was that for?"
"For thinking perverted thoughts…"
okay that was random and it sucked and I don't know why I wrote it but I felt like it so yea…….sorry anyways, please review!
Till Next Time
