Black pearl-sama: this is finally the last chapter. I'm so glad I'm getting this story off of my back.
Inu Yasha: yeah and you left it with a cliffie too.
Sesshomaru: good riddance to bad rubbish.
Black pearl-sama: this is not rubbish!
Sesshomaru: sigh
Chapter 11: The Battle and Last Chapter
Inu Yasha started downstairs when he heard a ringing sound coming from the device that Kagome always talked to. The ringing continued when Inu Yasha ignored it, annoying both him and Sesshomaru.
"What is that annoying sound?" Sesshomaru asked. When Inu Yasha didn't answer him, he turned back to the TV, and watched a commercial that was coming on.
"Buy your defense weapons at WOD (weapons of defense) today. We have everything from shotguns to lasers. We have chargers for the lasers so that you can recharge them everyday without fail so that they would keep on working. One minor note though, the lasers are to be recharged everyday or they will not work", the commercial ended and another one came on for Burger King.
Inu Yasha walked over to the phone and picked up the receiver the way Kagome always did when the thing rang and put it to his ear and was surprised to hear a voice on the other end.
"Hello? Is this the Higurashi residence?" the voice asked.
"Yeah, and who the hell are you?" Inu Yasha replied.
"Um, I'm Eri and I told Kagome to phone me and she didn't. I was wondering if she was there", Eri asked.
"What do you mean? Kagome's not at school?" Inu Yasha asked.
"School was over twenty minutes ago. Kagome should have been at home by now," Eri answered.
Inu Yasha was starting to get worried. Where could have Kagome gone without telling him? Inu Yasha put down the receiver and went outside. To his horror, he smelled Naraku's scent.
"The bastard's got Kagome!" Inu Yasha yelled as he went inside the house to find his cap so that he may go outside and find Kagome.
"Which bastard?" Sesshomaru asked, though his voice sounded as though he wasn't the least bit interested.
"Naraku. Who else?" Inu Yasha replied.
Sesshomaru felt a bit disappointed. He wanted the girl to see the wreck he made in the house.
Inu Yasha found the cap and put it on his head and started to go outside when he heard Sesshomaru.
"I'm coming with you. I'm going to kill him this time for certain", Sesshomaru said.
"Yeah, right. Don't make me laugh 'cause I'm the one to kill him", Inu Yasha retorted and went outside, following Naraku's scent. He sensed Sesshomaru coming close behind him and increased his speed only to make Sesshomaru increase his speed as well.
Meanwhile with Naraku, Kagome was thrown into a jail type place. The floor felt cold against her hands. She saw men standing guard outside her cell.
"It wasn't even a few weeks since he came here and he already got some followers," Kagome thought to herself. She looked up when she saw Naraku approach the bars.
"I wouldn't try to escape if I were you. Every inch of this place is surrounded by my men," Naraku said.
"What do you want with me?" Kagome asked, frowning at the half-demon.
"For bait", Naraku answered simply.
"I'm not a worm that lures a fish to be called bait, Naraku," Kagome said angrily.
"Oh, but you are. You are going to lure the hanyou and if lucky, Sesshomaru to me," Naraku responded.
Kagome glared at him and Naraku glared back. "By tomorrow, your Inu Yasha will be dead by my hands. As soon as he sets foot in this place, it will trigger the defense mechanism that will tie him to this post," Naraku said, pointing to a pole made of wood, "and if he moves even a centimeter, the lasers will shoot him down."
"Inu Yasha won't fall for a cheap trick like that", Kagome said with a triumphant voice. "Where did you get the lasers anyway?"
"A shop called 'WOD'" Naraku answered. "What will you do with that information?"
"Nothing," Kagome replied, but that information that Naraku gave her was a bit useful. She knew about that shop and their lasers. Kagome looked around her cell for an escape root, but the walls were built without even a tiny crack. She felt hopeless.
"I'm coming, Kagome. Just hang in there," Inu Yasha thought to himself as he ran in the direction of an abandoned building that looked as if it was about to crumble any instant. He heard Sesshomaru stop behind him and started to go inside. Kagome's scent was strong here and so was Naraku's.
"This is a trap. Naraku is expecting us to go inside to your woman", Sesshomaru said.
Inu Yasha flinched at Sesshomaru's last sentence. "Look, she is not my woman. She is just my jewel shard detector, that's all and I know very well that Naraku has a trap set up", Inu Yasha burst out, though all of it was lie. He regarded Kagome as a friend and maybe more and he didn't know that Naraku had a trap set up. He was in a hurry to find Kagome and didn't think about anything logically.
"I doubt it", Sesshomaru replied, raising a brow at Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha let out a frustrated sigh and smelt the air. He was surprised to find human scent mixed in. "Naraku joined humans with him?" Inu Yasha thought out loud.
Sesshomaru opened the door and said, "we are being watched."
Inu Yasha looked around him, but didn't see anything or anyone, but the human scent was strong. Inu Yasha followed Sesshomaru into the building.
Naraku heard sounds from upstairs and smiled. "Looks like they came."
"This is bad", Kagome muttered to herself.
Naraku opened Kagome's jail door and held a knife to her neck. "Call out to him, girl", Naraku said, "or you will perish here."
Kagome remained silent.
Naraku started getting angry and pressed the knife harder to her neck, spilling a few drops of blood and making Kagome gasp and said, "I mean it, miko."
Kagome hesitated, but Naraku was getting impatient and was pressing the knife harder against her neck by the second. Kagome couldn't take it any longer and yelled, "I-Inu Yasha!"
Inu Yasha heard Kagome's yell and rushed towards her voice. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he found Naraku putting a knife to Kagome's neck.
"Inu Yasha, get away. It's a-" Kagome started to say, but Naraku cut her off.
"Where is Sesshomaru?" Naraku asked.
"I don't need to answer you. Let Kagome go!" Inu Yasha shouted.
"Why don't you come nearer?" Naraku said, taunting Inu Yasha.
Inu Yasha stepped toward Naraku and stood in front of the wooden pole when he was tied down to it by someone.
Naraku laughed. "You move a centimeter, Inu Yasha and you will be shot down by those lasers", Naraku said, showing Inu Yasha the lasers that were all pointed to his chest.
Naraku pushed Kagome into her cell and said, "say your prayers."
With that, Naraku went upstairs with his men in search of Sesshomaru.
"Inu Yasha, don't move an inch. I'll figure out a way to get us out of here", Kagome said from the bars after Naraku and all the men left.
"Feh. I don't think there's even a way out of this", Inu Yasha replied, looking down at the ropes that tied him down to the pole.
Wind started to blow from a small window in front of Inu Yasha, sending dust on to Inu Yasha's face, tickling his nose. Inu Yasha felt a sneeze coming up.
"Uh-oh", Inu Yasha uttered.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"I'm going to sneeze", Inu Yasha replied.
"Hold it in, Inu Yasha!" Kagome declared frantically.
"Great. I think this is going to be the first time in history that someone was killed by their own sneeze", Inu Yasha said and then shut his eyes as his sneeze came out and his body trembled against his bindings.
"No", Kagome gasped.
Inu Yasha waited for the laser to pierce his chest.
"Huh?" Kagome and Inu Yasha said at the same time when nothing happened.
"He forgot to charge the lasers", Kagome replied with relief. "If the lasers aren't charged, they won't work."
Inu Yasha cut off the ropes behind them in a matter of seconds and then went over to Kagome.
"Could you pick the lock?" she asked.
Inu Yasha pulled the lock as hard as he could. When it didn't give in, he took out his tetsusaiga. He banged his sword against the lock several time and finally, it broke and Inu Yasha opened the door, letting Kagome out.
"We need to find Naraku", Inu Yasha said and hurried upstairs with Kagome following close by him.
Naraku had found Sesshomaru upstairs, standing at the entrance of the building.
"I didn't want to go through the trouble of finding you, so I let you find me", Sesshomaru said coldly.
"Is that so?" Naraku asked and took out his sword. Sesshomaru followed suit and took out his Tokijin.
Naraku ran at Sesshomaru and lashed out his sword. Sesshomaru blocked it with his sword and jumped back. They ran at each other again, clashing their swords against one another this time. Naraku forced Sesshomaru's Tokijin back and Sesshomaru loosened his grip on his sword in order to push Naraku's sword away from him. Naraku took this as his chance and jerked his sword to the side, forcing Tokijin out of Sesshomaru's hand and making it land a few feet away from him. Now Sesshomaru was weaponless except for his tensiega, which was useless and his poison claws. Sesshomaru dodged Naraku's blade and edged towards his sword. Sesshomaru lashed out his claws saying, "poison claws." He managed to rip Naraku's baboon cover, but that was all.
Inu Yasha and Kagome hurried upstairs to be greeted by three humans under Naraku's command.
"Get out of my way if you want to live", Inu Yasha said dangerously.
"I don't think so", a guy with red hair and a tattoo on his arm said.
Inu Yasha growled and punched the three of them and hurried up. Kagome stepped over the unconscious humans and went to the first floor to see Sesshomaru engaged in a battle with Naraku.
Naraku glanced at Inu Yasha and said with surprise, "how can you be alive?"
"You were careless, Naraku. You forgot to charge your lasers", Kagome answered.
Sesshomaru took this opportunity to grab his sword. Naraku looked at Sesshomaru and saw that he gained his sword back. Inu Yasha took out his tetsusaiga and went at Naraku who blocked him. Inu Yasha then raised his sword and yelled, "wind scar!" Naraku jumped out of the way of the blast, which hit the building wall, making a big hole.
"Inu Yasha, be careful! Naraku has a lot of Shikon Shards with him!" Kagome yelled.
It was too late. As damaged as the building already was, the new damage had caused the building to start to collapse. Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome and took her outside, followed by Sesshomaru and Naraku. Naraku glared at Inu Yasha, who came at him swinging tetsusaiga once he got near him. Naraku jumped out of the way and blasted something at Inu Yasha, who was thrown back by the force. He got up growling. Sesshomaru blasted his blade's aura at Naraku and Inu Yasha did his wind scar at the same time. The attacks both combined and hit Naraku with full force.
"I did it!" Inu Yasha said with disbelief.
"Don't be ridiculous, hanyou. It was I who defeated him", Sesshomaru retorted.
"Yeah, right! I killed him!" Inu Yasha roared.
Kagome rolled her eyes and went over and picked up the Shikon Shards. "We can go back to the feudal era now," she said.
Inu Yasha grabbed the Shikon Jewels from Kagome's hand before Sesshomaru could.
"Let's go home", she said. The three of them headed home and Kagome entered her house to find the living room trashed. She turned around with a killing glare towards the half-brothers. Inu Yasha instantly pointed at Sesshomaru who smirked.
"Why for the love of unicorns did you do this, Sesshomaru?" Kagome bellowed.
"I have no need to answer to the likes of you," Sesshomaru answered simply.
Kagome looked as if she was going to explode. "If I just put the beads of subjugation around your neck, I would yell sit to you everyday until you apologize", Kagome replied and looked around to see that Inu Yasha's necklace had pulled him down. "oops," she said as she forgot that she used the word 'sit' in her sentence.
"I would kill you before you even try", Sesshomaru responded.
Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and said, "time to get back. Sango, Miroku and Shippo will be so surprised if they heard that we defeated Naraku."
Inu Yasha got up and followed Kagome to the well house. Kagome took Inu Yasha's and Sesshomaru's hand and jumped into the well and got to the other side. Sesshomaru was the first to climb out and instantly headed for his lands. Kagome and Inu Yasha climbed out and met the rest of their team and told them what happened. They celebrated the day.
What they didn't know was that the Naraku they killed was just a golem. Now Naraku was stuck in the future and would probably continue his havoc there, but that's a whole new story.
A/N: THERE! The boring story is finally over. I hope you guys will review.
