Chapter 8: Confrontations
InuYasha leapt through the forest with Kirara ahead of him. Kagome was sound asleep on his back. InuYasha told Sango that she needed her rest, but without explaining to her the whole reason. He knew she had to be tired. She was up practically all night last night crying. She never said why and he didn't ask. He just held her tight.
"InuYasha?" Kagome opened her eyes slowly. The windswifted past her swiftly and InuYasha's hands were fastened around her upper legs (not quite her ass you perverts! though Inu would be the pervert here lol.)
"'Moring, Love." InuYasha grinned. He was always happy when she was with him. Kagome put her head against his back and felt a thump everytime InuYasha hit the ground and gracefully leapt once again up in the air. Her eyes felt red and puffy. She had been up crying last night. Slowly, everything that had happened last night crept back into her mind. InuYasha holding as she creid her ees out into his sholder. Then her dream. Kagome winced as she remebered it.
"InuYasha, thank you." Kagome pulled a little tighter to his body. She was so grateful for what he had done last night.
"You're welcome, Love." InuYasha knew exactly what she meant.
"Hey, look!" Sango shouted over the roar of the wind. She pointed toward a castle which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. InuYasha tensed beneath Kagome.
"Naraku." InuYasha stated full of hatred. Kaagome tightened her grip on his body as if to comfort him a little.
The group was soon upon the dark castle and waiting for them was none other than Kikyou, Kohaku, and Kagura. Kirara dove in and Sango and Miroku jumped off her back and landed not to far from the enemy. InuYasha leapt once more and dropped to the ground. Kagome hopped off his back and readied her arrow.
"Where's Naraku?" InuYasha unsheathed Tetsiaga. Kikyou stared at him with emotionless eyes. Kagura leered at the dead miko. Naraku had commanded her to help the preitess to dispose of InuYasha, but since when did she obey Naraku? Kohaku's eyes were glazed over and it was easy to see he was under Naraku's spell once more. Kagura directed her attention to InuYasha. She could use him against Naraku and be free once he(naraku) was dead.
"I won't ask again. So tell me or be blown to peices." He held Tetsiaga up. Kikyou glared at him.
"You have no right to be swinging your sword at me, Half-Breed." She said and pulled out her arrow and slid it into its place in the bow. She steadied her shit right at InuYasha.
"Don't think so." Kagome shot her arrow and hit Kikyou in her right shoulder blade. Her weak spot. Kikyou lost her balance and fell backwards as her bow and arrows were fling from her hands.
"You're useless." Kagura pulled out her fan. "Dance of the Blades!" The string of blades were coming roght at Kagome. Kagome held out her bow. The blades ricocheted and bounced right back at Kagura.
Kagome smiled despite of herself. She did it! She didn't even need InuYasha's protection! Kagome put another arrow in and waited. Kagura surely had not died from her lousy attack.
"Fool." Kikyou stood up and grasped her shoulder. Her souls were quickly flying from her body. Kikyou waddled over to Kagome. "You fool. Why?" Kikyou's voice cracked. She was going to go to hell. Her body and spirit would never enter this world again. She collapsed at kagome's feet and her last soul floated out of her body and into Kagome's. For a second, Kagome's body was illuminating a pink aura. It passed and left Kagome astonished.
"Kagome, are you okay?" Miroku rushed up to her. Kagome felt her knees become weak and she, too, almost collapsed to the ground. Miroku caught her limp body.
"Kagome!" InuYasha rushed to the unconcious girl's side. "I've got her." Miroku carried her in his arms bridal style. InuYasha stared at what seemed to be a lifeless body.
"Mu hah aha hah ha." a voice peirced through the darkness and the purple clouded fog rolled in as it concealed the person's identity. "I see Kikyou was defeated quite easily. Now, why don't we battle?" The person emerged from the fog.
"Naraku." InuYasha held out his sword as he prepared for what he thought to be the most important fight of his life.
Naraku lunged and sent one of his tenticles at the hanyou. InuYasha dodged and InuYasha swung his sword at Naraku's face. He was close. Naraku pulled out his sword and their swords collided in a battle of power. The light was blinding that passed between them. Good against evil. Naraku's power was becoming lower and InuYasha felt it. Just a little more. His thoughts flahsed to Kagome's body lying limp in Miroku's arms. I'll do it for her. My love.
InuYasha's sword quickly over powered Naraku's. "Ultimate Backlash Wave!" inuYasha sent his attack out and it hit Naraku with such forse he was slung to the ground. His body disolved into a purple mess. Miasma.
Kagome's eyes fluutered open and she sat up in Miroku's arms. "Kagome?" Sango and Miroku said at the same time. "Put me down please." Kagome was urgent and Miroku sat her down with ease. Kagome ran out to InuYasha. He caught her body and they hugged for what seemed like an eternity but was only a few minutes.
"Sister." Kohaku's glazed eyes had turned back to their normal brown. "Kohaku!" Sango ran out to him and Kohaku met her in the middle. They, too , embraced. Miroku watched them admiringly and almost forgot about his wind tunnel. He opened the prayer beads. The wind tunnel was gone.
"InuYasha."
"Kagome."
"Sister."
"Kohaku."
The last jewel shard was recovered and the group returned to Lady Kaede.
