Destiny Meets Death

Third Person POV

Kohaku sliced away two roots coming towards him. He looked over to Sango who was trying to regain her strength. " Sango, are you alright?"

Sango tried pulling her body up. " I'll manage to fight." She lifted her boomerang and stood up. She tossed Hirakostu at Naraku and then collapsed. " Kohaku, try to fight him off until Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha get to the cave. I can't fight anymore. I'm too weak right now."

Kohaku nodded his head and threw his chain at Naraku. He managed to cut off another root, but that was all he could do. He could only protect his friends from Naraku's attacks because they couldn't even hit him.

Miroku sat up and stared at Kagome. " Kagome-san, what happened?"

" Miroku, thank goodness your alright. You collapsed after being hit by Naraku. Sango was left fighting on her own as I tended to your wounds."

" Sango-san? Where is she? Is she alright?"

" She collapsed as well. She was almost killed but Kohaku saved her. I have to tend to her now. She was hurt from fighting alone."

" And what of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru?"

" They haven't made it yet. They have to make it soon."

" Where's Koga?"

" He went to get the wolf tribe. He should-" Kagome was cut off as two wolves attacked the root headed towards Miroku and her. " Koga!"

" Yep. I'm here and ready to help. You tend to Sango and I'll help Kohaku." He looked at the other wolves. " Come on let's get revenge for our friends." Koga charged at Naraku and kicked him only to flung away. " Damn. It's hard to fight without my jewel shards."

Kagome helped Sango sit up. She gave her some medicine and bandaged her wounds. " If this fight goes on any long we'll all be dead before they make it to the heart."

" I hope they make it in time."

Sesshoumaru pulled out Toukijin and Inuyasha pulled out Tetsusaiga. " Sesshoumaru, why are we getting ready to attack?"

" You can never be too careful. Kotoko was the first trap. Naraku might have something else planned."

" Well, would a cage be much of a threat?"

" What are you talking about?"

" Look" Inuyasha pointed to a cage at the corner of the cave.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha began to walk towards it. They stopped as a little albino girl stepped in front of them. " Kanna!" Inuyasha yelled.

" Who is she?"

" One of Naraku's incarnations. She was the first and most favored by him."

" We have to kill her to get to the heart, which I'm guessing is in that cage." Sesshoumaru said pulling Toukijin in front of him.

" You…will…not…win." Kanna spoke while putting her mirror in front of her. Inuyasha swung Tetsusaiga at her. Kanna disappeared and reappeared behind him. Sesshoumaru used Dragon Strike against her only to have his attack sent back at him.

" She can do that?"

" She can also suck out human souls."

" That's the kind of information I need before I fight people."

" Geez, Sorry." Inuyasha put Tetsusaiga in an attacking position. " Ok. No more games. This time we're ready.

Koga was unable to fight and Kohaku had lost all of his energy to fight. " Damn it. I can't fight. Neither can my wolves." He looked over to the panting wolves and at some that we're slain during the fight.

" Where the heck are Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru?" Kohaku asked while observing a bruise on his knee.

Kagome put a Band-Aid on it and then looked over to Koga. " I don't know what happened to those two, but I hope their ok." She sighed and continued to bandage up her friends.

" Watch out!" Miroku called as Naraku attacked them. They dodged the attack and looked back at him.

" We can't just sit here we have to fight!" Sango stood up and threw Hirakostu at him cutting off a few more roots. " I can fight a little while longer. What about you guys?"

Kohaku and Miroku nodded their heads, but Koga could barely move. " Sorry guys. I need to rest for a bit."

" Shippo, Can you see anything?" Rin called out to the Kitsune in the tree branches.

" Yeah, they're losing badly."

" Oh no, how much longer do you think they can hold on?"

" By the looks of it, not much longer." Shippo climbed down the side of the tree and stood next to Rin. " Koga came, but even he's not strong enough. We're going to need a miracle."

" Sesshoumaru-sama, please hurry." Rin said softly with tears running down her face. Shippo hopped on her shoulder and patted her head trying to comfort the girl. He turned his head to the right and saw movement in the bushes. He jumped off of Rin and stood defensively in front of her.

Kikyo walked out of the bushes. " What are you children doing out here alone?"

" Kikyo, what are you doing here?"

" Your one of Inuyasha's friends, aren't you? I came following the demonic aura from here. The Shikon no Tama has been completely darkened hasn't it? Naraku has finally acquired the last jewel shard." Shippo nodded his head and Rin softly cried.

" Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru went to Mt. Haki to destroy Naraku's heart, but they haven't made it yet."

" They formed an alliance? How unusual."

Rin sighed. " Sesshoumaru-sama only did it for Kagura-san."

Kikyo walked up to the little girl and knelt in front of her. " Did he now? So that cold-hearted lord finally learned how to care for others, huh? Shocking but I guess anything is possible. Where are the others?"

" Their fighting Naraku to distract him from Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru."

Kikyo frowned and stood up. She looked at the direction of the fight. " Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have no idea how to destroy the heart."

" Actually, they do."

Kikyo looked at Rin. " They do, but-"

" Kagura told them. Sesshoumaru-sama was sad when Kagura died so some demon made Tenseiga a weapon so he could destroy Naraku's heart."

Kikyo smirked. " So there is still hope. Don't worry, Naraku's tricks and traps are no match for Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru. They are clever."

Rin and Shippo smiled and nodded their heads.

Sesshoumaru's POV

There was no way Inuyasha or I could attack Kanna. There had to be a way around her.

I looked at the little albino in front of us and narrowed my eyes. Her weapon. That was how we can win. " Inuyasha, get rid of the mirror."

He smirked. " I'm on it." Inuyasha leaped forward snatching the mirror from the girl and breaking it. " Heh, now what little girl?"

Kanna just stood there defenseless. She had no emotion what so ever.

" Now it's time to attack. Path of Destruction!"

" Kaze no Kizu!" Both attacks hit Kanna and the caged heart. The two attacks fused together forming one strong attack and destroyed the heart, along with most of our energy.

Third Person POV

Sango sliced one last root before realizing Naraku was no longer attacking. She looked up and saw Naraku holding his chest and gasping for air. " They did it!"

Kikyo ran over to Kagome. " Kagome we have to use a sacred arrow to purify Naraku."

" Kikyo?" Before she had time to as anything, Kikyo pulled out her bow and arrow and was ready to attack. Kagome did the same. They both released at the same time, attacking Naraku and destroying his body for good. Everyone smiled at their success.

" We did it! Naraku's finally gone!" Kagome shouted for joy. She looked over and saw. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru coming back. She ran up to Inuyasha and gave him a hug. " What took you guys so long?"

" We ran into a new incarnation."

" We had to fight her before entering the cave." Sesshoumaru said as he pat Rin on the head when she ran to him.

Kikyo walked over to the group of friends. " Kagome, take this." She handed her the jewel.

" Kikyo, what happens now?"

" Naraku is gone, which means that the Feudal Era is saved. That means time will now be moving on once Kagome is ready."

Everyone looked at Kagome. She sighed and looked at her friends. " Are you guys ready to move on with your lives?"

" They won't be gone forever, just move on to Kagome's era."

Inuyasha smirked. " So it's not like we die we're just going to the right era."

Kikyo nodded her head. "Everything is going to turn back to normal. Naraku will hopefully just remain a memory."

Sesshoumaru sighed and asked. " And what about the other incarnations? The one's who have died and are still alive?"

" They'll be around. However, once you're in that era, you will all look like humans and the demon race will be completely forgotten. You will still have demon powers and look like demons to other demons but that's it. So are you ready to move on?"

Everyone looked at each other and agreed. Kagome looked over to Kikyo, unsure of what to do. Kikyo placed her hand over Kagome's and closed her eyes to concentrate her energy on the jewel. Kagome did the same. Soon all of them we're encircled in a blinding light and head into the present time period.
