Welcome back for the next chapter of "A Wish from the Heart." As everyone noticed the prologue was short but then again it was suppose to be short. It just sets the scene. Since I got so many reviews on that small bit I updated within a day. My usual chapters are longer but this isn't one of my normal stories. Just letting everyone know until we reach chapter six I will probably update this story about every other day. This is because I have only written up to chapter six. This is going to be about a 20 chapter fic. but then again I'm just assuming that at this point.

As I said before I don't own Inuyasha. I just have him on loan from the great Rumiko Takahashi.

A Wish From the Heart

Chapter 1: The End of a Quest

The ultimate battle had not gone totally as planned but the group was still alive and fighting. Naraku's castle was filled with traps and many lower demons. While they were easy to defeat, Naraku was using them to wear down the group.

When all those demons were gone, their next obstacle was Kanna. It took them a bit to get past her defenses. Every attack they threw at her was blocked or repelled back at them thanks to her mirror. Finally when Kagome and Inuyasha attacked together they were able to break the mirror and with it Kanna's defenses. Even then Kanna didn't run, she sacrificed her life just to keep the group from getting to Naraku.

The group pressed on to find Kagura waiting for them. She had been angry at the loss of her sister but she still fought them skillfully. She was on the defense for the most part. She did attack often but when she had a chance she continued to back up through the mansion. This didn't stop everyone for a second, even if it had been for a trap. They had come this far and weren't about to stop just because of the chance of a trap. During the fight, Kouga showed up to help fight. Inuyasha didn't even bother to think about his presence. After retreating for a while, they stumbled upon Naraku.

The group split up Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku fought Naraku while Kouga, Sango, and Kirara fought Kagura. It was at this time that Kagura fought intensely. She kept as much distance between her and the others. At the same time her attention was diverted every now and then to Naraku.

Finally Kagura saw her chance after she had knocked Sango out of the air. Kouga was chasing up to her but with a broken arm from their fighting she easily slipped away. Kagura pulled out her feather from her hair and took to the air. She quickly flew away from the battle as fast as she could. Naraku saw her take off but could do nothing to stop her as he was engaged in battle with Inuyasha.

The battle continued to preserve for what seemed like hours. Naraku had tried to escape a few times but found himself thwarted at each turn. The long battle had consequences though as it went on the number of combatants dropped due to injury or unconsciousness.

It was now down to Inuyasha vs. Naraku. The battle had between them had been intense but Naraku had kept the upper hand having most of the Shikon Jewel in his possession. The only pieces he didn't have was those that Kagome held.

"Do you really think you can beat me?" Naraku asked.

"I'm not going to beat you," Inuyasha replied, "I'm going to kill you." He yelled as he charged at Naraku. Inuyasha swung Tetsusaiga at Naraku but he dodged it at the last second and hit Inuyasha while he was defenseless. Inuyasha was sent flying through the air but twisted and landed on his feet facing Naraku.

"I'm about tired of this," Naraku said as he held the Shikon Jewel in his hand. It started to glow a dark purple and miasma started to cloud around him. "This fight ends now."

Inuyasha could tell that Naraku was making a final attack to finish all of them off. Inuyasha looked around the courtyard. Everyone else was too injured to help him fight. Even Kouga, who had taken a few extra hits after Kagura's escape was too injured to count on. It was up to him. He wasn't about to let all the friends he had made die at the hand of this despicable demon when he had the chance to stop him. Inuyasha lifted Tetsusaiga up to fight Naraku one last time. He remembered all the pain and suffering Naraku had caused, to both him and his friends. Inuyasha felt himself filled with new energy as he got ready to swing his sword, "I couldn't agree with you more. It's time to finish this fight." With that Inuyasha swung Tetsusaiga. Naraku found his attack meant nothing to Inuyasha's. A wave of energy seemed to overwhelm Naraku. One streak of energy seemed to be coming straight at him he tried to move to avoid it but found himself paralyzed by the first wave and was defenseless against the second assault. When the streak of energy hit him, everything around him and he, himself, exploded. Inuyasha couldn't believe what had just happened. He had never seen that attack before. He kept a careful eye to see if Naraku was around but he didn't see him anywhere or sense him. Naraku was dead. They had finally won.

"Inuyasha, you did it," Kagome said from behind him. She was walking over to him slowly. She had been knocked unconscious earlier and had woken up just in time to see him defeat Naraku.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly though he was barely able to stand.

"I'll be fine. What about the others?" Kagome asked as she looked around. Shippo who had been knocked unconscious with Kagome was just waking up. Miroku was making his way to see if Sango was okay. He had some cut on his body but he was mainly weak because he sucked up some more of Naraku's poisonous bees. Sango had a few more cuts on her body than Miroku but also suffered from a dislocated shoulder. Miroku kindly offered his help to her as they walked over to the rest of the group. Kouga was hobbling over to them. In addition to the broken arm, during the battle Naraku had injured one of Kouga's legs and had taken both of the jewel shards.

Once everyone was together there was a bit of silence but Sango decided to break it with the question that many of them had, "Is Naraku really dead?"

"I think so," Inuyasha said. "I can't sense him anywhere. Besides ask the pervert to be sure," He said gruffly as he pointed at Miroku.

Miroku didn't understand at first but then remembered his Kazanna. He slowly backed away from everyone and pointed his hand in another direction as a precaution. When he removed the beads and cloth from his hand, there were no gusting winds pulling anything in. Instead everything remained as it was; Miroku slowly turned his hand to himself and saw a regular full hand, no hole in the middle. He didn't say anything but showed his friends. Everyone was happy, Naraku was finally dead.

"What are we going to do now?" Shippo asked.

"Where going to leave this horrible place and rest, I don't care if its one foot step outside of this place but I'm not resting here," Inuyasha said. Everyone agreed and they walked out of the castle. Once they were away from the castle they decided to stop and tend to everyone's wounds. The only ones that really required attention was Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha had received some bad wounds but they were already starting to heal thanks to his demon abilities. Kouga was the same way. Though it was a bit painful, they did relocate Sango's arm and had it in a makeshift sling. Miroku's wounds were patched up and Kagome gave him some medicine for the poison.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm tired," Miroku said. "That battle took more out of me than I thought." Everyone seemed to nod in agreement except for Shippo who was already sleeping.

"I just want to know one thing, dog turd," Kouga spoke up. Inuyasha didn't like hearing that name but was too tired to fight him at the moment. Kouga continued, "What was that attack that you used on Naraku?"

Kagome turned to Inuyasha as well, "Yeah, I haven't seen that attack before. What is it?"

Inuyasha just turned to them and said bluntly, "I don't know." Everyone sweat dropped.

"I might know," a voice called out. Everyone knew who that belonged to and looked at Inuyasha as he squished the flea that was on his nose.

"Well look who it is," Inuyasha said. "I didn't think you'd be anywhere near by to see that attack."

"Actually I had heard you were going after Naraku and was on my way," Myouga explained.

"Sure, you were probably just watching from a nice safe distance," Inuyasha yelled at him. "Anyway so what's this attack?"

"Do you remember when Tetsusaiga broke?" Inuyasha nodded. "It had to be repaired with one of your fangs. So part of you was in the blade. When Tetsusaiga was created, it was only part of your father's fang; he was able to use Kaze no Kizu and Bakuryuuha because they used the power of his fang. When your fang was added, your power was added to the sword and that attack is the result."

"Really," was all Inuyasha had to say. He couldn't think of much more.

"As far as I could tell and sense, the attack doesn't just draw from your own power but it also seemed to draw power from your friends around you, which made the attack even more powerful."

"That's cool," Kagome said. She then turned to Inuyasha, "since it's a new attack I guess you get to name it. What are you going to call it?"

&&&&&&&

Well that concludes the first chapter. Some of you might be mad at me because I ended it there but I did that for a reason. The reason is that I don't actually have a name for the attack. I want you, my readers to name it. If anyone knows good Japanese and can think up a good name please tell me. If you do give me it in Japanese, tell me the English translation that way I'm not making an idiot out of myself by using it. If you have a regular English name let me know. I'll use the one that I think sounds the best.

I want to thank my reviewers now: kuroi raishu, anonymous, candy, Alyssa, Hino Mitsukiko, and RyGuy. Thank you all very much. Now for a bit more in-depth:

anonymous - Don't worry there is going to be no Kikyo (I wish I could have killed her in this fic but I would have to write a bit of back story for that). As for Action, this story is going to be more on the side of drama but there will be certain action chapters. This one for instance. As I have it planned now, there will be 2 more fight scenes. One is a one chapter, the other might be longer. I'll see when I get there.

Hino Mitsukiko - I have seen both dubbed version and subbed so my views are a little blended as you will notice. In the dub, Kikyo and Shippo are spelled as I have them spelled. Now I'm not saying that I'm right and your wrong, that's not true. I'm just used to spelling their names that way and it isn't too big of a matter so I'm not going to try and break my habit. Hope you don't mind. BTW, if you noticed in this chapter, I went by the subs version of Kouga's name rather than Koga from dub. I like the sub version. Also what was the final thing you typed. I don't speak Japanese so all I could make out was 'thank you very much.'

Well that's about it. The next chapter is going to be a small short one but don't worry chapter's should be getting a little bit longer.
