Here's Chapter 6

Oh, and btw - I don't own Inuyasha

---------------------------------------

Kaede told them to take the next day to rest up. Training started right after school on Monday. Inuyasha and Kagome thanked the old miko and left the village.

Both felt as if they traveled through a time warp as they walked out of the ancient village and towards the car.

................. 3½ weeks later....................

"Backlash wave!!" Inuyasha screamed, calling forth the highly advanced technique of Tetsusaiga. The power that tore through the air uprooted the massive tree the hanyou had been aiming at.

"Very good," Kaede said. It was Wednesday now, and after three weeks of training with puppet demons, Inuyasha had moved on quickly and had now mastered the backlash wave.

"Feh, I want a real demon to use this on." Inuyasha replied. "This is pathetic. Did Naraku get scared or what? I haven't seen him in a month. The coward, I could tear him to pieces."

"Don't get too comfortable Inuyasha; ye may soon get what ye want. Will ye be prepared for it?"

"With this technique!? It'll be easy!"

Kaede shook her head and turned towards Kagome. The miko's powers had grown greatly over the past few weeks and Kaede was very impressed. Now, though, the young girl was looking towards the sky with a distracted expression.

"Kagome?" She jumped and looked towards the old woman. "Something on your mind, child?"

"Sort of…I'm just wondering why Naraku hasn't come back yet. It's been bothering me. What is he up to?" Kagome asked no one in particular.

…………………..

The night grew dark quickly as clouds rolled across the sky. Inuyasha and Kagome got in the car, heading home after their Thursday training session. Kagome watched the clouds through the window as the first bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The thunder rolled and she shuddered slightly.

"You ok?" Inuyasha asked, glancing at her before turning back to the road.

"Yea," she replied. "It's just…I've had this awful feeling all day that…"

FLASH! BOOM!

Lightning hit a tree on the side of the road. Inuyasha swerved to avoid it as it fell towards the two teens. Everything blurred before stopping suddenly.

Kagome moaned and shook her head, regretting it as a sharp pain seared across her neck. She and Inuyasha were in a ditch on the side of the road; the large tree on its side to Inuyasha's left.

Moaning like Kagome had, Inuyasha lifted his head. He unbuckled his seatbelt slowly, and then reached over and undid Kagome's as well.

"You ok?" he asked her for the second time that night. His voice was hoarse because of his dry throat. "Anything broken?"

"N…No, I don't think so…" Kagome replied shakily.

"Then we need to get out of the car. I think the gas tank was punctured. If we don't get out, the car might explode with us still in it."

Luckily the two only had to carry their weapons, having left everything else at the shrine after school. Stumbling away from the car, the two got across the street right as the convertible exploded into a ball of flames. Grabbing Kagome protectively, Inuyasha brought them both to the ground so the impact wouldn't harm them.

The acrid smell of burning metal filled their nostrils. For this reason, Inuyasha didn't pick up the scent until it was nearly upon them.

"Naraku," he growled, picking Kagome and himself up off the ground and stepping defensively in front of her.

"So we meet again, how fortunate," Naraku replied. "Couldn't have caught you at a better time, could I?"

"Get on with it Naraku," Inuyasha said. "Are you gonna talk all night, or are you gonna fight?"

"I see you've trained that puppy of yours. He's gotten quite attached to you hasn't he, Higurashi? How cute, now I can have the pleasure of killing both of you before taking the jewel. Kagura, take care of the girl, I'll worry about this mutt."

A girl with dark hair and red eyes appeared out of the sky on a feather. The wind from the storm seemed to have no affect on her flight, and, landing behind Inuyasha, she forced Kagome to turn around and face her. Readying her arrow, Kagome stepped away from the hanyou so whatever Kagura threw at her wouldn't harm Inuyasha too. The wind blew her hair lightly from her face as she aimed with deadly accuracy. Kagome let the arrow loose as Kagura pulled out her fan. The wind changed and Kagome's arrow flew off course towards…

"Inuyasha! SIT!"

Inuyasha's face hit the ground as the arrow whistled through the air over him.

"What the hell!?" he yelled, getting up.

"She changed the wind and my arrow almost killed you!" Kagome yelled back. Inuyasha didn't have a chance to answer. Naraku began launching his own attack and, puling out Tetsusaiga, it was all the inu hanyou could do to block off the assaults.

This continued as the storm rolled on and Kagome shot more arrows at Kagura. 'This isn't working' she thought as her tenth one landed harmlessly in the ground behind the wind demon. Suddenly she got an idea.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, seeing what she was about to do. He quickly dodged another of Naraku's power orbs, and turned to his opponent. "I've had enough of this!" he yelled, unleashing the ultimate technique.

Kagome ran towards a startled Kagura with a sacred arrow in hand. Before the red eyed extension of Naraku could react, the miko landed on her, knocking them both to the ground. Kagura's fan flew from her hand as Kagome lifted her arm to deal the deathly blow. Lightning flashed overhead.

Naraku had the chance to send one last energy blast before the backlash wave hit him. He was torn to pieces at the same moment Kagome brought the sacred arrow down, piercing Kagura's chest.

Kagome didn't even have the chance to scream as Naraku's last energy blast collided with her side. Pain erupted like shattered glass through her entire body. Kagome flew through the air off of Kagura's lifeless form. Then, all she knew was black.
