************************************************************************
CHAPTER 1 - Final Conflict
Kagome lay crying on the ground, helpless tears of pain and rage streaming down her cheeks. With fists clenched, she turned her head to the heavens.
"Why did this have to happen to me? Why?"
The Tetsusaiga was clutched tightly in her hand and a completed Shikon Jewel hung loosely around her neck. Before her lay the bodies of Naraku, Sango and Miroku. They rested in crumpled piles of flesh and cloth still smoking slightly. They seemed tiny compared to the huge crater they lay in the center of. At the edges of the black pit charred trees were still blazing away. The putrid stench of death pervaded the clearing.
Kagome looked around in desperation. Seeing no one, she let out an anguished howl to the gods who had betrayed her
"How could you leave me alone?"
~`~** FLASHBACK **~`~
"Noooooooooooo!"
The scream left Kagome's ears ringing as she turned just in time to see Sango slowly sink to the ground. A frantic Miroku crouched beside her. He held her gently and a terrible sadness seemed to fill his eyes. The sadness of things left unsaid, chances never taken.
"No, it can't be." He whispered softly, over and over again to Sango's body. She rested softly on the ground almost as if asleep, Kagome thought. Naraku looked over at the two of them and let out a bitter laugh of scorn.
"Ha! So the bitch finally got what she deserved, eh? Too bad she'll never get to see you pining for her!"
"You bastard!" Screamed Inuyasha from behind him. "I'm gonna tear your fucking spine out, I swear it!" He whipped Tetsusaiga from it's sheath and let out a searing Kaze no Kizu.
Kagome screwed her eyes shut in pain. Why did it all have to end in violence and tragedy? For three years they had wandered around Feudal Japan, collecting shards here and there. Until one day they had finally realized there were no more to collect. All the remaining shards Kagome knew rested in one spot, with Naraku. And so they had journeyed to meet their fate, knowing the outcome of their battle would determine the courses of their lives.
The battle went well, until Naraku unleashed a horde of his poisonous wasps, rendering Miroku's air rip useless. Inuyasha engaged Naraku with Tetsusaiga, taking his attention away from the now nearly defenseless monk. They were holding their own when the fatal blow come down upon Sango. She was standing back to back with Miroku, frantically trying to defend herself from the swarms of youkai trying to reach them. It was a smaller cat youkai that managed to get through her defenses, too quick to be blocked by a human. She'd placed a small scratch on Sango's arm, with poisonous claws it was enough to prove fatal.
Kagome shook her head in grief. From where she was hiding on the sidelines, her bows and arrows would be next to useless. She would just get in the way if she tried to help, only placing herself in more danger. For the thousandth time that day, she thanked the gods that they had left Shippo behind with Kaede. She felt powerless enough as it was. This battlefield was no place for the little kitsune orphan she had adopted.
Kagome's attention was drawn back to Miroku as he slowly got back on his feet and took a few unsteady steps towards the battle. Before him were Naraku and Inuyasha, locked in a vicious and unrelenting battle. They ran at each other again and again, each artfully dodging the others attack. It looked like they would go at it all night. He then hauled himself painfully around, to face the swarming masses of youkai howling for his sudden death.
At that point a most un-monk like snarl escaped past his lips. Kagome shuddered. Miroku's eyes had narrowed to slits, he looked like some sort of feral animal.
"You killed Sango, you bastards. I may have never gotten the courage to tell her, but I loved her! And now even if I take my own life in the process, I will have my REVENGE!" He unwound the rosary beads covering his air rip in slow determination. With a maniacal smile, he commenced to destroy Naraku's army.
"Miroku, DON'T!" Screamed a distraught Kagome. "You'll kill your self, there are too many poisonous wasps! Please, Miroku, It's not worth it!" She was beginning to loose her grip on the small outcropping of rock she was hidden behind. If the vacuum (sp?) lasted too much longer, she would be sucked in as well. Panic started to set in, she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Miroku STOP!..... Miroku!"
Miroku either didn't hear her or paid no heed. Grimacing in pain, he held his palm out defiantly before him until every last one of Naraku's goons were annihilated. At last he covered his palm with a whimper of pain. A blanket of silence descended upon the clearing, freezing everyone in shock.
Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed out onto the battlefield to aid the hurt monk. He was swaying dangerously back and forth, threatening to topple over. Kagome cought him and gently laid him on the ground. She sighed softly, unable to flow the stream of tears. Miroku, she knew, was dying.
"Kagome, NOW"
Kagome jerked up at the sound of Inuyasha's desperate howl. The fact that most of Naraku's minions had been sucked up and Miroku now lay dying at Kagome's feet had frozen the two combatants in place. Taking advantage of the situation, Inuyasha had called to her. Kagome nodded, she knew what she had to do. "Right, Inuyasha."
Before Naraku even had a chance to move Kagome focused her Miko powers upon him. In the years they had spent shard hunting they had each grown more powerful, Kagome's Miko abilities especially. The presence of more and more shards also seemed to enhance it. Now, only a slight frown of concentration formed on her lips. She slowly and carefully drew out all of the remaining Shikon shards from Naraku's transfixed body. She gasped as the remaining shards were purified and fused together completing the Shikon and causing a rush of gentle power to envelop her senses.
A roar of rage rang around the clearing as Naraku realized what had happened.
"Miko Bitch, you will give those BACK!" The hanyou charged at her frail form.
"No! Kagome, look out!" Shouted Inuyasha, vainly trying to slow Naraku down. Kagome gazed at Naraku's charging form. His eyes met hers as they burned with an insane rage. Her eyes narrowed and flashed a dangerous steel color.
"No more." She whispered.
Quickly, she concentrated her powers on the completed Shikon No Tama. As she did so, an invisible wind seemed to rush around her whipping at her hair and cloths. The Shikon began to float between her hands unleashing a terrible blinding white ball of fire and destructive energy. Blackness seemed to cloud Kagome's vision, lulling her into a deep dreamless sleep.

Well, that's it folks! First chapter completed. Don't worry, Miroku and Sango don't really die, but you will have to wait to see what happens to them! And NO Kagome is not dead either. It's a cliffhanger! So, review and tell me how I did, how I can improve, plot suggestions, etc., etc. See ya! Stelmaria
