Chapter 1
'One last time' ,thought Inuyasha, as he cried out," Windscar!", bringing his sword down as 3 bright bolts of energy snaked along the ground towards Naraku. Kagome released an arrow flying inside the bolts of energy merging to make a large whirlwind of crackling energy, zooming forewards like a torpedo as Sango threw her hiraikoitsu(not sure if that's spelled right.) and Shessomaru used his poison whip.
As they reached their mark, there was a blinding white light as Naraku cried out," Nooooo! This isn't possible! I can never be defeated!"
"You just were", said Inuyasha, smirking, as they covered there eyes from the light. finally, the light died down and everyone looked at the now blackned crater.
Now that Naraku was done with, Inuyasha scanned the battlefield. Somewhere in the middle of the battle, Kanna had somehow been killed. Many members of the wolf tribe littered the battle field, as their leader lay, knocked out, on the ground, both of his legs bloody from where Naraku had managed to rip out his jewell shards. Shippo lay on his back, exhausted from using so much of his fox magic. Miroku lay holding his hand from sucking up Naraku's poisonous insects and Sango was limping towards him with a worn out Kilala in her kitten form on her shoulder. Shessomaru was leaving after reviving Sango's brother at her request and Kagura took a few steps towards him, then stopping as he turned his head, before glimpsing at her and giving her a slight nod, as if saying " do as you wish", causing her to follow him to Kaedae's village where he had left Jaken and Rin. Kagome had went and picked of the final chunk of the jewell Naraku had possessed, purifying it, and putting it in the glass jar around her neck, so she could fuse it when she came to Kaedae's.
She then went to bandage Kouga's legs and handed Sango some Anti-Poison to give to Miroku. Finally, Inuyasha glimpsed the pile of clay and ashes that was once Kikyo before turning away without a second glance, knowing even before Kikyo had died that he had made his choice. He only hoped that Kikyo was at rest now. He went to stand above Kagome as he examined the damage that had been done to her. She seemed to have the least damage of the group. She had a few scratches and scrapes and her uniform was torn in a few places but that was it. The worst thing was a nasty place on her arm where Naraku had managed to get her with one of his tentacles. One other thing about her was that she looked a bit older, ever since Kikyo's soul had went into her and she had a stronger aura.
Kouga started to stir as Kagome finished bandaging his legs. He opened his blue eyes and looked at her. "Kagome", he said, grabbing her hands," you're okay." "Yeah", she said, as Inuyasha started growling at Kouga. "Kagome, now that Naraku is dead, I can take you back to be my woman", said Kouga.
Kagome sweatdropped and Inuyasha said," She ain't going anywhere with you, you wimpy wolf."
"She's coming with me!"
"She's staying!"
"Coming!"
"Staying!"
"Coming!"
"Staying!"
"What do you need her for anyway?", said Kouga," she's already got all the shards, so you don't need a shard detector anymore!"
Inuyasha was speechless as Kouga waited expectantly for an answer.
"Well?"
"Well, I...it's none of your buissness!", said Inuyasha.
"In that case, i'll be taking Kagome", said Kouga.
"Wait!", said Kagome," Kouga I can't go."
"Why not?"
"Because...I still have to fuse the jewell shards togeather in Kaedae's village,"said Kagome.
"Oh", said Kouga," Okay."
They all headed back to the village and later, Kagome sat in a seperate room in the hut from everyone else as they prepared to fuse the shards back togeather.
