XXXX.
Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo sat in silence. The fire in the fireplace flickered, and the occasional ember would land on the wood floor. They hadn't spoke since Kikyo explained to them how much Naraku and Sesshomaru have planned, and that they may attack as soon as that night.
Sango was the first to break the silence that had lasted nearly an hour. "I think they'll be coming soon. I can feel it in my bones."
Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, I can feel it, too."
Kikyo sighed. "They won't attack us themselves, you know."
Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
She waited for a moment. "Because," She looked out the big window facing north. "They have already turned Kagome."
Inuyasha stood up. "That's a bunch of bull shit. It takes -what?- seven days for a person to be completely turned?"
The Vampiress nodded. "That's true, but Inuyasha, they have chemicals now that can probably speed things up."
And, as if on cue, the door burst open. Sango grabbed her re-loaded gun and aimed it at...
"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha looked at his half brother.
"Shut up, half-breed. Where is she? Where is Kagome?"
Sango ran and pushed the gun to his throat. "We don't know, and if you don't leave-"
"If I don't leave what?" He smirked. "Are you going to shoot me? I know things, and you're going to kill me and let God knows what happen?"
She took a deep breath, and lowered her weapon.
Bad move.
Sesshomaru moved and pinned her against the wall. "Don't trust people you don't know." His eyes were amused, but then looked blank. He blinked once, and a trickle of blood came out of his mouth.
Inuyasha let his half brother's corpse fall to the ground.
Sango looked at it, then at the blood-covered knife in Inuyasha's hand. He breathed, and leaned against the wall, eyes closed.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Where are you!"
Sango's eyes opened wide. She looked out the door. "Oh, hello Rin."
Rin stopped. "What did you do to Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sango kicked the door open wider. Rin saw his corpse, and she screamed. She turned around to run back to the limo, but the bullet got her just before she could lift her right leg. Sango closed the door, and sat on the couch. She buried her face in her knees.
Kikyo put a hand on her back. "It's okay. This will all be over soon enough."
Inuyasha sat next to the crying girl, not saying a word.
Sango, sat up straight and wiped the tears from her eyes. "It's just...It's just that Miroku -my boyfriend- was expecting me home soon. I didn't think this would take so long and now...and now..." Fresh tears came pouring out. She couldn't control herself.
XXXXI.
Kagome stood in front of the door. Naraku came out of the car and stood nearby, not close enough to be seen, but close enough to see. He had been a little concerned by the corpse in the yard, but he shrugged it off. Koga might've got her. He thought. She knocked three times.
The door opened.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled.
She ran in, and Naraku followed. He knocked Sango to the side. "What happened here?"
All around were the corpses of dead Vampires. He couldn't believe it. Someone beat him to it. He glanced down and saw Sesshomaru lying dead at his feet. That got him to grin. "Did you three do this?"
Kikyo stepped forward. Inuyasha and Sango stared at Kagome. She seemed paler, sadder...she opened her mouth for a moment to speak, but closed it back up. They saw her fangs. "So they turned you?"
She nodded.
"And I suppose you two came here to kill me?"
Naraku pushed Kagome out of the way. "Why are you asking such ridiculous questions?" He pulled a gun out and pointed it at Kagome. "Do what I let you live for! Do it now!" He yelled. Inuyasha pulled Sango out of the way. He was about to jump forward, but Kikyo motioned for him to leave.
"Kagome," She said. "Kill him."
Naraku pointed the gun at Kikyo. "Shut up!"
Kagome stepped back. "No...I can't do it..."
Naraku was becoming impatient. "Fine! I'll kill her myself!" He aimed the gun for the Vampire's head, and shot.
What happened next, happened fast. Kagome screamed in pain, as if she had been the one shot. She lunged forward and dug her teeth deep into Naraku's neck. Sango shot her gun, aimed directly at his head.
Then, it was silent.
