CHAPTER5- Final Attack

"WHAT IS YOUR DECISION?" "We surrender" Mars said calmly. "Are you out damn mind? How can we save Souta if we just give up?" Inuyasha replied anxiously. "If we just give up he'll release Souta and leave us alone; sometimes it's better to run than fight" said Mars. While walking to chameleon to release her powers to him, Mars discreetly drops a Sutra charm on the Tetsusaiga. "I surrender as well" replied Kagome. The girls approached the demon ready to follow his instructions.

Kagome and Mars slowly focused their energies into the shape of a sphere. "I see" Inuyasha thought. "Now surrender those powers of yours to me" commanded the demon. Kagome and Super Sailor Mars knew what had to happen and they only had one-shot to pull this off. They only hoped that Inuyasha got the same message. "First, release my brother" Kagome said irately. "I will, only after you give me what I want" shrieked the demon. Kagome and Mars sensed that Inuyasha was ready to strike and slightly nodded towards each other hoping the demon didn't notice.

"INUYASHA, NOW" screamed the girls. "YOU BETRAYED ME" cried the demon. "You're obviously not too bright" Inuyasha responded. Inuyasha used the Tetsusaiga to crack the sphere of energy. The glittering sphere released energy that transferred itself to the charm that Mars had left on the sword earlier. "I call upon the power of Mars, FIREBALLS CHARGE!" The chameleon demon was now paralyzed due the fireball sutra charms. The vine that had a grip on Souta was now burned to ash. "Souta run!" cried a concerned Kagome. "Damn you wench, this isn't over" screeched the demon. Just before the demon could conceal itself Inuyasha powered the Red Tetsusaiga in a final attempt to break his barrier. "You will never break this barrier half-breed". The Tetsusaiga began to shatter the barrier and slowly began to purify the vines in the well. "How's this happening Kagome" asked Souta. "You got me, Rei?" asked Kagome. "That sutra charm was meant for any demon weapon to absorb spiritual powers, so Inuyasha is able to break the barrier with extra strength and purify the area at the same time. Kagome get ready to attack because he'll lose almost all his strength after this" said Mars. "Right" said Kagome. Inuyasha then collapsed to the ground due to fatigue.

"Mars, it's up to us now" Kagome said with confidence. Kagome picked up the bow and arrow then thought, "I can still stop this creep and help my friends". "HIT THE MARK" cried Kagome. "MARS FLAME SNIPER" cried Sailor Mars. At that moment, both arrows merged into single projectile of fire and light eradicating the demon and the remnants of vines. "NOOO!" was the demon's last word.

Later that evening at Higurashi Residence, Inuyasha and the others were resting after a most strenuous day. Souta was tending to Inuyasha's wounds, while Rei was talking to Kagome. "Do you understand the importance of your destiny?" Rei asked. "I guess I can't try to fight it anymore Rei. I just have to use all my strength to protect my friends and stop Naraku at all costs" said Kagome. Inuyasha then entered the Kagome's room to see how the girls were doing. "Hey, I wanted to thank you for your help today" said Inuyasha. "Your welcome" said Rei. "How were able to do all that stuff? You some kind of priestess?" asked Inuyasha. "No, I've had these powers for awhile. Do you guys really fight like that all the time?" She asked. "We've fought much worse than that demon" answered Kagome. "Thanks for stopping by Rei; you really did help me out". "Don't think about it, I'll see you Kagome". With that, Rei took her leave from the Higurashi home. Kagome realized that although her destiny maybe difficult, she must trust herself in order to complete it.
