Sorry for the long wait. I'm going to end this with the next chapter, its not like anyone is reading this anyway.

Chapter 16- The Finale; Departures and Meetings Pt. 1

Sasuke was sitting in the trees in the forest near Kaede's village. He was waiting for Shiori to finish talking to Inuyasha and Kagome. He sighed out of pure boredom. He was holding a leaf in his hand, and looking at a small ladybug that was crawling on it. Once the ladybug flew away, he tossed the leaf, which became hard, and stuck into a tree. Sasuke was surprised. He pulled it from the tree he lodged it in, and threw it again, only to have the same thing happen. He tried a different leaf, and still they acted like throwing stars.

"Sasuke, I'm ready to go." Shiori said, in a tone that didn't fit like her.

Sasuke shuddered at her tone, but nodded and followed her none the less. They headed back towards the village near the coast where they lived, and longed to return to. As they walked Sasuke couldn't help but stare at Shiori, as if there was something different he couldn't place his finger on. But the thought was quickly lost when Sasuke thought of returning to the village, and the girl he loved.

They met soon after he came to the village with Shiori. Her name was Kasumi and she had brown hair that fell just past her shoulders, and her eyes sparkled a beautiful golden brown. She was only a year younger than the half-breed demon, and treated him as an equal. He was infatuated since the first time he saw her. He loved her personality, she was kind to him, and was the main reason he started opening up to people. But at the same time, he was always the defender. Even though she could be short tempered and naïve, she was still the one Sasuke was going to propose to.

Once they returned to the village Sasuke ran off to meet Kasumi, while Shiori headed for the cave off coast. She took a small boat and went into the former bat demon cave. Once there she went into the formation of rocks that she was forced to stay in by her grandfather to hold up the barrier to the cave. She then started chanting something, and a familiar cloud-like mist flew from her mouth. The mist then formed the notorious Yuna, who let off an evil laugh.

Meanwhile Sasuke was with Kasumi, the girl of his dreams. They didn't say anything, they were just enjoying each other's company after Sasuke showed her his new moves, which he named the "Binding Vines" and "Leaf Shuriken". As he expected Kasumi enjoyed seeing all he could do, and praised him for it. They just sat on the roof to her hut, and watched the sun set. After nightfall they went inside together.

--Meanwhile with Inuyasha and Kagome--

"Kagome, are you sure it was Yuna?" Inuyasha asked as they sped towards the beach.

"Yes, I know her aura anywhere." Kagome said.

When the two of them arrived at the beach, Inuyasha could smell Yuna's sent, as well as Sasuke's and Shiori's. Inuyasha ad Kagome followed Yuna's sent right into the old cave. Once inside they saw Shiori's unconscious body in a circle of rocks. Kagome picked her up.

"I'll take her back to the main land and find Sasuke." Kagome said, "Be careful Inuyasha."

"I will, just hurry!" Inuyasha said and ran of into the depths of the cave, "And leave the monkey out of this!"

Once on shore Kagome ran straight for the hut where Shiori's mother had taken them in so many years ago. Thankfully she still lived there, and took Shiori to her bed while Kagome turned around to go find Sasuke. About ten minutes into her search a large explosion, that caused the whole village to shake, came from the cave. Kagome then headed straight for it to help Inuyasha any way she could. She decided if Sasuke was in the area he would hear that.

Meanwhile inside the cave Inuyasha was fighting a large orange demon with one eye in the center of its forehead. It had two horns, one on each side of its head, coming out of the back of its skull. And had three fingered clawed hands and feet and wore an brown loincloth around its waist. It swung its massive claws at Inuyasha, and whatever he hit would explode. Inuyasha was getting fed up with this demon and decided to end the fight right then and there.

"Wind Scar!" He shouted, swinging his faithful sword. Four streams of energy came from the blade, and each one hit the demon, turning it to nothing in a matter of seconds.

As soon as the demon, and his sword sheathed, was gone, the cave he was in started to rumble. Inuyasha was about to run when the ground under his feet vanished and he fell into a magical container. It wasn't very big, as he just barely had any room to sit down. He tried to attack it, but soon found that it was no good. And he couldn't use the Tetsusaiga because of the smallness of the cell he was trapped in, since the stone ceiling reappeared as soon as he was in the container. He saw two more identical ones lined up next to the one he was in.

"Do you like your new home?" Yuna asked as she came up to the magical cell, "All I need is one more half-demon and a priestess to put the final part of Naraku's resurrection into motion. With your girlfriend and the monkey on there way they this part will soon be completed."

"You bastard!" Inuyasha called out, "How dare you! What do you have to gain from bringing Naraku back!"

"I gain the power he had, I have no intension of letting him live, I just want his power, then I'll kill him again."

"What makes you think you can?"

"My power is already greater than his, Inuyasha. And as soon as I add his, I will be unstoppable! Now be quiet. I have work to do."

Inuyasha suddenly found himself unable to speak, no matter how hard he tried he could not make his voice work. He sat down and did the only thing he could. Which was wait.

-- Kagome--

As Kagome entered the cave as small hummingbird flew past. It then stopped and turned around. Then darted straight for Kagome. It stopped a few feet away from her, and, in a puff of orange smoke, turned into Sasuke. Kagome let off a sigh of release upon seeing who it was. Before they could even say a word, the ground vanished from beneath their feet and they each fell into a large room with a large demon inside. Sasuke's was a large dark purple serpent demon with a blade at the end if it's tail, while Kagome had a bird demon that looked like a giant crow with flames coming from its tail.

Kagome readied an arrow and took aim at the demon crow. When she fired, the bird took flight, and dodged Kagome's arrow. She readied another one then fired, however the bird dodged again. But this time Kagome knocked a boulder loose from the ceiling, which proceeded to flatten the demon crow. This caused Kagome to fall into a hole that appeared under her feet, and she landed in a magical cell identical to the one Inuyasha was in. She looked around and saw she had no room to launch an arrow from in her cell. But thats not all she saw, for she also saw Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" She shouted, causing him to look at her.

He stood up and shouted her name. Or at least he would have if Yuna hadn't taken his voice away. He then started making wild hand signs, opening his mouth, and pointing to his throat, then pointing to a glowing yellow ball in a small glass bottle on Yuna's table. Kagome looked at it, them back at Inuyasha.

"What?" She asked, causing Inuyasha to face fault. He then pointed to his eye. "Eye?" Kagome said, Inuyasha then moved about as if he was looking for something. "Looking? Lost? Lost!" Inuyasha nodded, and pointed to his throat again. "Throat? Voice? You lost you voice! And thats it on the table over there!" Inuyasha nodded. "Oh boy..."

--Meanwhile with Sasuke--

Sasuke was dodging the barrage of attacks from the serpent demon's bladed tail. All he could do at the moment was dodge, the demon was not giving him any room to do anything else. Every time he tried to reach into his pocket for some leaves he had to stop and use his arms to dodge an attack. The speed of this snake was on par, if not faster than, his own.

"Heh, you think I would let you get the chance to attack, ssssilly monkey?" said the serpent. It hissed out the 'c' sound, and 's' sounds, "I know you can not use your vinessss here, since there is no dirt for you to ssssummon or plant them, and my ssspeed will keep you from usssing your leavesss. And with out the treesss you can not hide yourssself."

"Pant...I'm...not...pant...done..yet..." Sasuke said, it was evident his energy was running out fast.

"It isss time to end thisss" said the snake, and sped up its barrage of attacks.

Sasuke then turned himself into a humming bird, and flew at speeds even the snake demon could not match. The Snake then started spitting green balls of slime at the shape shifter. Sasuke then transformed into a wolf ant bit the serpent in it's tail. The Snake merely slammed it tail, with Sasuke into the wall, creating a cloud of dust. When it cleared Sasuke was crouching on the floor, in his normal form, hiding his stomach. The Snake then stabbed it's tail right through Sasuke's gut, with a scream of pain from the half-breed monkey demon, and lifted him off the floor. Sasuke then threw some leaves at the serpent, which pierced its skull, killing it.

Sasuke slid of its tail, and fell through a hole in the floor. He landed in the third cell Yuna's magic had created. He heard a gasp coming from his left, and weakly turned his head to see Kagome and Inuyasha stare at him. Both of them had shocked, and in Kagome's place, worried and fearful, looks on their face.

Before anyone could say Yuna walked in, with three spheres floating after her. One went to each of them, and started sucking out their energies. Inuyasha and Sasuke started loosing their demonic features, while Kagome started to age. Once the spheres stopped stealing their energy, Inuyasha and Sasuke were completely human, and Kagome looked as if she was older than Kaede.

"Nothing can stop me now." Yuna said, as she took the spheres and put them into a cauldron.

I hope this chapter was better, I actually have time now. Anyway, I hope to get some reviews.
