Chapter 15-Putting ones sin's to rest
(A/N: Here we are at the last and final chapter. No is no sequel to this or trilogy or whatever. This is end. Just review what you think about it and such as before because as I said I really appreciate your reviews. On another unrelated matter I'm thinking of Inuyasha/Sango fic that will really blow your minds. Also I have another Teen Titans story waiting in the wings too. Just thought I'd let you know!)
The two enemies stared at each other in complete silence for what seemed like hours trying to read the other through their eyes. Naraku stared into Inuyashas new form which he had obtained some how. He saw that Inuyasha was no longer wearing his usual red fire rat clothes, but something all together. Naraku noticed that Inuyasha was wearing sliver color pouch pants similar to his red ones but thinner then the others. He also noticed that Inuyasha was wearing armor that was red and black along his chest with spikes forming an X-shape across the center of it. "I like the clothing your wearing Inuyasha. It suits you for when I send you to the other world," said Naraku with a smile.
"I'm glad you like it. Considering it's a lot better then what you're wearing right now," said Inuyasha with a smile that matched Narakus.
The two then moved at great and attacked the other with their blades as they had done before two years ago. "Your little love interests...spirit that's bonded with...you can't help you now," said Naraku who knew where Inuyashas new found strength and power came from as they deadlocked swords with each other.
"Shows what you know," said Inuyasha as the two broke the deadlock and continued swinging their blades at each other that hit the others.
Neither Naraku nor Inuyasha were giving into the other as Kagome and the others eventually became conscious seeing the fight first hand. "Their evenly matched," said Sango as demonic energy left Tetsuigia and Tokijin as the two blades clashed against the other.
"But for how long? They can't keep it up forever," said Miroku as Inuyasha pushed Naraku back several feet only for Naraku to send an energy blast from Tokijin at Inuyasha who knocked it away with Tetsuigia.
"Inuyasha," said Kagome as both he and Naraku were breathing heavily as both released more and more power on the other with neither side giving into the other.
"Now do you...see the truth behind my...power?" said Naraku as he and Inuyasha were once more deadlocked with their blades.
"Yes...I see it. It's...true when you said...you had gotten...gotten...stronger then you were...before. However, I...have...too!" said Inuyasha as the excess demon energy coming out of the two sword started scaring and piercing their flesh spilling both of their blood all over ground beneath them.
"Yes you...have. It's a shame really that...you...you would still...fight against...me and not...with me," said Naraku as the ground started to shake beneath their feet.
"Don't you know...the...the old saying? The very greatest of allies...are also the very meanest...of...of enemies!" said Inuyasha as he broke the deadlock and kicked Naraku in his stomach sending him back several feet then before.
"I...AGREE!" said Naraku with a smile as he shot not one, but two energy blasts from Tokijin and from his left hand.
Inuyasha knocked one blast away and barely, dodged the other which had hit him pretty hard on his left shoulder as it passed him. "Damn it!" said Inuyasha as he stumbled a little from the pain as the energy that missed him exploded behind him.
"Face it Inuyasha. You will never defeat me no matter how much power you have. No spirit of a lost loved one, no sword passed down to you by your late father, and no demon blood that is your birthright can save you now," said Naraku as he walked towards a now bleeding Inuyasha.
"I can...still win...regardless of...what you...think!" said Inuyasha angrily as he ran at Naraku and pressed Tetsuigia against Tokijin trying push Naraku into a defensive position.
"Like Callistos family did when they ran from the angry mob of people who found out that her mother was a dark priestess like Tsubaki," said Naraku who pushed Inuyasha back with greater ease.
"How...do you...know that?" said Inuyasha knowing full well that Naraku did not picked that up inside his head or hear from Callisto while he slept inside his head.
"Did I forget to mention that I told those people about Callisto's mother? I'm so sorry Inuyasha that I never mentioned it sooner, but I felt it was a necessity of sorts. I had hoped that Callisto along with her mother would have been captured and killed by the mob of vengeful people like her father," said Naraku whose smile went more sinister by the second.
"YOU? You...did that...to...to her? You took away...her father and destroyed her life like you did...mine? Why?" said Inuyasha who was on his knees holding Tetsuigia for support due to the fact he was nearly out of strength as Naraku now stood over him ready to deliver the final blow.
"Because like you Inuyasha she was half-demon who was a threat to me at that particular point in time. I was originally going to retrieve her to my side after her mother died. However, Callisto chose the path of all things good and true. And if there is one I thing I hate more then anything else is a half-breed like her who denies the evil that was inside her that was and still is...inside you," said Naraku as he raised Tokijin over his head for the final swing.
"Callisto...hear my words...do not...abandon me now. I don't want...to die alone," thought Inuyasha as everything to him seemed to go in slow motion as the sword started coming down at his head.
Inuyasha...as long as I am with you...you are never alone," said Callistos heavenly voice as Inuyasha then felt an incredible surge of power inside himself.
"The end for you is now Inuyasha!" said Naraku as Tokijin came down on his head.
"Inuyasha!" said Kagome along with everyone else looked in horror as the blade was seconds away from cutting him in two.
"NO!" said Inuyasha in a very serious tone as a white spiritual wall protected Inuyasha from Tokijin.
"What? What sorcery is this?" said Naraku as he found himself being hurt from the barriers energy that traveled through Tokijin and into himself.
"What was it you said about the spirit of a lost love not helping me?" said Inuyasha who took Tetsuigia and sliced off Narakus hand that held Tokijin.
"AHHHH! That hurt...you...little...bastard!" said Naraku who was now more enraged then when Inuyasha betrayed him as his apprentice the first time.
"That's nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you next," said Inuyasha who picked up Tokijin after freeing the decaying hand of Narakus from it.
"NO! Not that way! Not the way you killed Kikyo!" said Naraku in horror as Inuyasha raised both blades in an X-shaped formation over his head as he had done with Kikyo.
"You wanted to be with Kikyo so much well now you can...IN HELL!" said Inuyasha as he unleashed his attack on Naraku that consumed him in its power and covering the area in an intense amount of smoke.
"NOOOOOOO!" said Naraku as his new body slowly deteriorated in before his eyes as he died a most painful death.
When the smoke cleared that had covered the battlefield whole Kagome saw that only Inuyasha was standing their with both blades in each hand with a calm, but serious look on his face. "Inuyasha...are you...all right?" said Kagome who slowly walked towards Inuyasha who did not move from where he was.
Kagome stopped when Inuyasha moved his hands to put Tokijin and Tetsuigia away at his side. "Yes Kagome...I am," said Inuyasha who showed her his smile only to then fall to the ground from exhaustion.
"Inuyasha!" said Kagome who held Inuyasha in her arms and found his wounds were more severe then she thought as she saw his blood leaving his body from Narakus assault along with other wounds she had never seen before.
"Its all right Kagome I'll be all right. I just need to rest for a little while that's all," said Inuyasha who tried to smile and get out a laugh, but only hurt him in the end as his breathing became shallow as he steadily coughed up blood.
"We have to help Inuyasha before his condition deteriorates further," said Miroku as he Sango, Shippo, and Kilala ran over to a covered in blood Kagome who was trying to pick up the severely bloodied Inuyasha.
(Several days later)
Inuyasha awoke from his sleep trying to remember what had happened as he sat up from where he had awakened. He found that most of his upper body was wrapped in bandages as he struggled to get up from the ground. He noticed his three swords were across from him as he looked around the room to find no one was inside the house with him. "Now it coming back to me," said Inuyasha as he recalled his battle with Naraku.
The door to his left opened and in came Kagome and the others who were quite surprised to see Inuyasha up and about. "Inuyasha your awake?" said Kagome in a surprised voice.
"What you think those wounds would stop me from being able to move around after a few days? Please give me more credit then that," said Inuyasha as he flexed his upper muscle enough to tear open the bandages showing that all his wounds were in fact healed.
"Impressive Inuyasha! Though I would still advise you stay here and rest for a few days," said Miroku as he saw Inuyasha retrieve his clothing he wore when fighting Naraku.
"No, I can't and I won't," said Inuyasha as he noticed the left side that was damaged by Naraku during their fight was sowed together pretty well and fit as nicely as before.
"Please Inuyasha you must stay here with us. You don't have to go anywhere alone anymore," said Kagome who stared into his eyes that were white amber eyes that had line of red around them in-between the centers in his eyes.
"Control yourself Kagome I have no intention of leaving you or the other I just want to merely get out of this room," said Inuyasha who put a hand on her shoulder as he walked passed her to the door.
"You're not leaving?" said Shippo surprised.
"Why? Do you want me to for any particular reason?" said Inuyasha as he stared at the Fox Demon who was on Mirokus shoulder.
"No! We just thought you would leave us again for a time like before that's all," said Sango trying to ease the growing tensioning in the room.
Inuyasha just laughed a little. "Why would I leave when everything I have is here with all of you?" said Inuyasha who smile brought calm to everyone's mind.
"Inuyasha," said Kagome with a smile and hugged him.
"Kagome," said Inuyasha silently embraced her hug and felt something in his heart grow and realized that everything was going to be all right for the first time in a long time.
The End
