"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Miroku! MIROKU! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cried Sango so loud that her vocal chords were nearly torn apart. All else was silent. All actions ceased. Everyone stood and stared at were Miroku once stood.
Hikari's hands shook as he tried to fight the voice that controlled him.
Now's the perfect time, Hikari. Kill them. Kill them all. Come on. What are you waiting for? Everything is going as planned! Kill them all! Right now!The voice was always calm and cool and flowed nicely like cold water running down a parched throat.
"I can't! I can't do it!" yelled Hikari out loud as he grabbed both sides of his head tightly. "No! don't make me do it! Please! Kudasai!….." Hikari collapsed down onto his knees.
What's wrong? You killed many other people before. What makes them so different?"I don't know…. Just feel like… I know them or something…"
"Kayo, are you okay?" asked Zoria as she knelt down beside Hikari.
"I don't know…stop talking to me!"
How dare you disobey me, you little shit, Now kill them!"Kayo!" yelled Zoria, "What's wrong?"
"The voice…. It wants… me to kill… you all." Said Hikari still clutching to his head.
"That's a crock of bull shit, bastard! Now die!" Said Inuyasha as he ran towards Hikari with the Tetsaiga.
"No! Don't hurt him! Don't make Kayo die again!" pleaded Zoria.
"Zoria, that guy is not your brother! Kayo is dead! Now get out of the way!" Inuyasha attacked Hikari.
"Inuyasha! Wait!" shouted Kagome.
Zoria leapt in front of Hikari, ducked under the incoming Tetsaiga, and grabbed Inuyasha's legs, tripping him. The tip of the Tetsiga's blade managed to slice Hikari's shoulder half way. Hikari winced in pain as he landed on the ground.
"I SAID DON'T KILL MY BROTHER!" yelled Zoria as she looked deep into her father's eyes with outrageous anger. "I thought that things would be perfect again once I found him… I thought that things would be like they used to, that maybe all the fighting would stop, that everything would be normal again…" Zoria's head bent down.
"Zoria, how do you know that this guy is really Kayo?" asked Kagome.
"I just know it… I just feel it… and if you guys paid attention like real parents, maybe you would feel it too." Answered Zoria, now calm.
"Zo..ri..a… run… AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!" Cried Hikari in pain as tentacles squirmed out of his shoulders. A head with long black hair and one human arm came out of Hikari's sliced shoulder and crawled right beside him. He then formed a black barrier with red bolts around himself.
"Naraku!" growled Inuyasha.
"I see we meet again, Inuyasha. I also see that you've gained quite a bit of weight."
"Shut up and tell me what's going on!"
"You'll never change, therefore, you'll never defeat me! Now, Hikari, kill them all and get the other half of the jewel so that I can destroy the world!"
"No!" yelled Hikari. "No! I won't do it! I won't obey you anymore! Not when my family is involved!"
"Hikari, these people aren't your family!"
"That's right, fucker! Why would I be the father of a weakling like you!" snapped Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" said Kagome.
"Come on, Hikari, even Inuyasha over there is right. They aren't related to you at all!"
"NO! My name is Kayo! I'm Kayo! I always have been! I remember everything now! You can't control me as long as I remember!" said Hikari, (or should I say Kayo now that he knows who he is.) as he charged his remaining strength towards Naraku. One of the barrier's red bolt's sent him flying several feet. Kayo slid on the ground until he stopped in front Shippo's feet.
"Kayo! Come here with your half of the jewel!" said Zoria, thinking of a plan. Kayo got up from the ground and ran towards Zoria. A strange feeling let him know exactly the plan. Both Zoria and Kayo held half of the Shikkon jewel in their hand. They held hands letting the jewel get to its full shape.
The bright pinkish purplish light blinded everyone around.
"I wish that all evil things are sealed away to hell, forever!" said Zoria and Kayo at the same time. The bright light brightened until no one could see anything anymore. A strong wind caused them all to duck down.
The pinkish purplish flash of light ceased to shine along with the strong wind.
"Where the hell did he go?" asked Inuyasha.
"It appears that Naraku was absorbed by the jewel and the jewel was purified and destroyed by Kayo and Zoria's powers. " stated Neo.
Zoria and Kayo were both scared to open up their eyes. After a few minutes, their curiosity to know if it actually worked or not forced them to open their eyes.
"Wow. Naraku really is gone!" said Kagome.
"Is it really for good this time?" asked Shippo.
All heads turned towards Sango. "Miroku… why? Why did you have to go as well?" she now had to grieve the deaths of both Kohaku and Miroku. Neo was beside Sango, arm around her shoulder, comforting her, the best way that she could. Kagome approached Sango and hugged her.
"I remember everything that happened." Said Kayo. "He lied. Naraku made my life a lie. I remember him taking me now, and going into me, manipulating my memories actions and thoughts…" said Kayo.
"It's ok Kayo. Everything is all right." Said Zoria, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I wanna go home." Said Kayo. They slowly walked to the well.
"Well, here we are once again." Said Kagome. Zoria, Kayo, Kagome and Inuyasha were all ready to enter the well into the future, this time, the paths between the past and future would be sealed forever and Inuyasha, Zoria and Kayo would be in hanyou forms for the rest of their days, whether they liked it or not.
"Wait! I'm coming too!" said Shippo. Both Zoria and Shippo blushed after he said that. Shippo didn't want to feel lonely like he did when Kagome left all those years ago. He didn't want to lose the closest thing he had to a mother again.
They all said goodbye to Neo and Sango, wished them luck and jumped into the future.
