Inuyasha: Out of the Darkness
Ch. 13: Naraku's Death and Inuyasha's new Power
Kagome headed back to Naraku's castle to converse over her plans for then next few years. She knew what she had to say in order to not make Naraku suspicious about what she would be doing. It was ready to rain, and the dark clouds rolled ominously over her head in the direction of the village. She saw a strange purple streak among them, pass slowly by her. She ignored it, and kept on walking towards his castle, figuring it was just a low demon.
Kanna- Kagome, what are you doing here?
Kagome- Huh? Oh, Kanna, I'm here to see Naraku.
Kanna- He left to get you a moment ago.
Kagome- He… did? Where'd he go?
Kanna- To your hiding spot.
Kagome- Oh, no. Inuyasha.
Kanna- What did you say?
Kagome- Sorry, Kanna. I have to go.
Kagome started in a dead sprint back to the village, catching and easily passing Naraku in no time. She was far enough ahead of him to get in the house and warn Inuyasha and Makida he was coming. She quickly hid them, covering their scents and power. Right when they were hidden, Naraku came in.
Naraku- Kagome… I want your full report. NOW!
Kagome- The young Half-demon passed through here not long ago, my lord. But there was something strange about him that I just couldn't touch. Also I felt a connection with him rise as he got close to me.
Naraku- Damn. You still have feelings for the bastard. Oh, well. I'll find another way out of this. Until then avoid any contact with him, I can't afford to loose another incarnation. Understood?
Kagome- Yes, my lord.
Naraku- Good. I'll be back periodically to check on you. I don't like the feeling that you could get to far with the half-bred weakling.
Kagome- Wait, my lord. Don't you trust me? Why must you check on me often, it seems unjust.
Naraku- Unjust you say?
Kagome- Yes.
Naraku- I'll be back with my final answer to your question. Until then, you won't leave this place. Or you'll loose more than the deal, got it?
Kagome- (softly) Yes , my lord. (Naraku leaves) Okay, you two can come out now. He's gone. For now at least.
Inuyasha- Good I thought he'd never leave. But it means that we've gotta get out of here and fast. C'mon Makida, we've gotta go now.
Makida- But, we've only just got here. Why do we have to go now?
Inuyasha- Because we're in real trouble if we stay here. I can't afford to loose you, not this late in the game.
Makida- Yes daddy, but…
Inuyasha- No buts… Let's get out of here before Naraku comes back and tries to kill us.
Makida- Yes daddy.
Kagome- Be careful. And try to stay out of trouble Inuyasha.
Inuyasha- You got it. See ya.
Kagome- Bye.
Inuyasha and Makida started back to the well the bone eaters well. Along the way they catch up with Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara. They gladly welcomed Inuyasha and Makida back into the group They seemed unusually worried about something but what Inuyasha couldn't find out.
Inuyasha- Hey guys, what's wrong. Why the long faces?
Miroku- It's Naraku, he's figured out that you have a child and he's after you. We can't stay here, we must keep moving if we don't want him to find us.
Inuyasha- How the hell did he find out! 'Man this aint good. If he gets a hold of Makida, he'll turn her against me like he did Kagome. Shit, there doesn't seem to be a way out except through the well. And if I go through the well, I'd have to stay there. There's no way I can win, just great, things were starting to look good too.'
Miroku- Inuyasha, is there something wrong?
Inuyasha- Yeah, since you gave me that news, I don't know what to do. I can think of a way out of this and that means that Makida's life is in grave danger. I can't afford to loose her, she's all I have left. He already took Kagome, and now he wants her. He puts his hand on Makida's head. 'I can't believe how she can sleep so soundly. It almost seems impossible to do in this era. It makes me feel a little better that she can finally get some rest with all that's happening.'
Sango- (to Miroku) I've never seen Inuyasha like this before. I mean so happy, ya know?
Miroku- It would seem to me like this child is that important to him. It makes him feel better to have her around I guess. What do you think.
Sango- I don't know. I think he's just a little strange, I mean he's never been that way unless Kagome was around. It kinda' scares me. It makes me feel… Miroku fails again to keep is hands to himself and she slaps him. How could you think of some thing like that when our friends live are in severe danger! PERVERT!
Miroku- Come, come my dearest Sango… I need to find some way to relax. You are the only one here who understands.
Sango- GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME! She punches him on the head
Miroku- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Ok geese you don't have to be so harsh.
Inuyasha- SHUT UP! Hears Makida Moaning Are you two satisfied now? You woke up Makida, thanks. It took me forever to get her to fall asleep! Now she's up and she'll probably stay up too.
Miroku & Sango- I didn't do it! Blame the person beside me!
Inuyasha- It was both your faults, now shut up. I've had enough of your arguing for one night. And you'd better apologize to each other AND Makida. She's not feeling well that she had to leave her mother behind.
Miroku & Sango (again)- Fine.. Sorry, sorry Makida for waking you. Happy now?
Inuyasha- Well… I guess I'll accept that. He feels a sudden jolt What the hell! Turns around to see Naraku No… Go away!
Naraku- I believe you have something for me. And I'd like to take it.
Kagome- Not in your lifetime!
Inuyasha- K-Kagome!
Naraku- Impudent wench. You'll pay for your betrayal.
Kagome came up quickly and hit Naraku from behind. It gave Inuyasha a chance to take Makida and set her somewhere away from Naraku. He then pulled out Tetsuiga and attacked the already busy Naraku. Naraku ducked at the sword swung at him, but failed to block the punch to the gut from his other side. Kagome and Inuyasha keep attacking Naraku, not giving him any chances of escape. Naraku was finally starting to get worn down by the continuous onslaught from the two hanyous. But as Naraku had predicted the two soon became to weak to fight and that's when he went for his prize. He reached for Makida and was quickly met by Inuyasha's blade. It cut his arm off, and made his jump backwards to avoid the next attack. It was so sudden that Naraku almost ran right into the blade and get hack into two pieces. He was angered that Inuyasha keep getting in his way and sent an attack that smashed right through the guts. Blood went everywhere and he collapsed to his knees, letting go of Tetsuiga as if it was a piece of molten lava. It fell to the ground and all his teammates could do is sit and stare in shock. I wasn't the first time, but this time his daughters life depended on it. No one could move, it was if they were all glued in place. Inuyasha cried out in horrible pain, as his attack punched through his body. He, almost having no life left, keep getting in Naraku's way however. He was determined to save Makida, and Naraku went for one final attack that should have killed him, but just bounced off him. His body then started to glow and ominous gold. And a somewhat heavenly figure appeared in front of Inuyasha. And he soon came out of the light perfectly fine, and more powerful than anyone would have imagined. It was a marvelous sight as Inuyasha came out of the light, as if he were a powerful heavenly being, and when he spoke, his voice had a slightly gotten deeper.
Inuyasha- Naraku, did you honestly think I'd be that easy to kill? You're pitiful.
Naraku- We'll see who's pitiful soon enough you pest.
Inuyasha- Fine, it's your life. I won't even have to lift a finger to kill you though.
Kagome- Inuyasha! What the hells going on!
Inuyasha- I'm not sure, but it makes me feel a lot better.
Naraku- DIE INUYASHA!
Inuyasha- Feh, not that old trick again.
Inuyasha seemed to disappear before Naraku's eyes. He simply vanished and reappeared over Naraku's head, and swiped him in half with Tetsuiga. He didn't kill Naraku, but then he used the Wind Scar and almost diminished his body. Naraku looked at Inuyasha in great shock as everyone else just stood and simply stared at the awesome display of power put before them. How did he get so powerful. Those words constantly repeating in Naraku's head. He was about to try to escape but then something hit him from behind. And Inuyasha took advantage of this, and used the Wind Scar to finish him off. His body was dead but his soul wouldn't leave until it got back at Inuyasha. He poisoned him with a special serum. Which would remain hidden until the right time came. Everyone soon gathered around Inuyasha and congratulated him on killing Naraku. And everyone started rejoicing.
Kagome- Inuyasha, you did it! She runs up to him and gives him a big hug. You killed Naraku, and freed me and everyone else under his control.
Sango- That means you freed my brother.
Miroku- Exactly Sango. It also means that I'm free of the Wind Tunnel.
Inuyasha- I don't know how I did that.
Everyone starts looking at him closely to see how much he's changed. That was till Kagome saw something she didn't ever want or expect to see.
Kagome- Inuyasha, YOU'RE A DEMON!
Inuyasha- What? I am?
Kagome- If you're not the explain those! She pulled out a mirror and put it to Inuyasha's face.
Inuyasha- That's not right. I'm not going crazy and I can still remember everything that just happened.
Miroku- Kagome calm down. Inuyasha was given this power because of his selfless acts. The gods intended this to happen, let's just count all our blessings, and rejoice that Inuyasha's new powers have destroyed the ultimate evil.
Inuyasha- I don't see what the fuss is about, I mean it makes me stronger, nothing else. I don't I've changed. Have I?
Kagome- No, you just seem to have managed something we all never thought you'd accomplish. But it doesn't mean that you can slack off when taking care of Makida with me, just cause you a mighty demon now. Just means you have to work harder, to keep your status as the most powerful demon alive.
Inuyasha- That shouldn't be to hard, I mean I have the rest of my life ahead of me, so why should I worry about a silly title that don't mean anything? I just wanna live for now. That's all I need to know.
End
Author- Wow. Sorry I haven't posted in so long, it's just I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and have time to write. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. This story may continue, but I'm going to start a new story on the life of Makida. Call it a life's lesson, and it follow my personal favorite characters life, at home school, whatever. I will be for sure in maybe a week to see how chapter 1 would turn out, and instead just keep working on this one if the other doesn't work out. Thanks for being so patient. Next chapter should be up shortly. And special thanks to SpoonBoyRulz for being my faithful reader/reviewer. Thanks for your support.
