Chapter 16-The End is Here-Part 2: Conclusion
(A/N: With the threat of school and work becoming too time consuming I spent the past two to three days along with barely surviving a sever thunder storm, power outages, and other crap to dive deep into my writing subconscious. The end result helped produce this final (yes I did say final) chapter of this Inuyasha fic. Just so you know ahead of time I have an even longer author note below, but that can wait till after the story so sit back, relax, and enjoy my Inuyasha fic. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!)
Inuyasha reentered the cave as fast as he could and found that Sesshomorru was at this point slightly wounded by the harpy demons and was on his last legs. Not surprising as the Demon Lord of the Western Lands had been facing a whole army of harpy demons inside a dark nasty smelling cave with only one arm to use that held the man's powerful sword Tokijin. 'Okay time to get psychotic on these birds,' thought Inuyasha as began slicing through the harpy demons one after other closest to Sesshomorru that were in range of getting cheap shot at him.
"Inuyasha you...," said Sesshomorru, but was interrupted by Inuyasha who had surprised him that the half-demon that was once declared his brother would come back to help him to this degree as Inuyasha could have just taken Kohaku and left him to die.
"Don't get all surprised or misty eyed on me now Sesshomorru because if you do I'll never let you live it down. Ever!" said Inuyasha as let loose a deadly Wind Scar attack into a tunnel passage way causing it to collapse killing all the harpy demons inside of it.
Needless to say seeing Inuyasha fighting gave Sesshomorru the strength needed to try and continue forward with the battle. 'Thank you Inuyasha,' thought Sesshomorru as he let loose his own powerful attack killing almost as many as Inuyasha.
(Kaede's Village-1 day and 4 Hours Later)
A bandaged up Miroku watched as Kilala, Sango, and Kikyo were waiting (impatiently) for their lover to return. Meanwhile the four children fidgeted under their three mother's impatient looks (worriedly) while waiting for their father to return next to poor bandaged monk using his staff as a crutch with his one (barely) good arm that was not broken in at least three different places on two different sides. "Please calm yourself you three. Do you really think Inuyasha would die with Sesshomorru with him helping him retrieve Kohaku? Let us not forget Kagura is helping and...," said Miroku, but that was as far as he got as Sango, Kilala, and Kikyo's angry looks told him to shut up unless he wanted to be part of the dead anytime soon.
Shippo had to force back a small laughter with some difficulty as he had nearly laughed himself to death after Miroku got the biggest beating earlier at the hands of each of the three women that loved Inuyasha. Miroku had tried to explain to them that Inuyasha did it out of love and kindness, but it was kind of hard to when someone who slays demons for a living knocks your brains out, followed by a pissed off cat demon, and an undead now alive priestess beat the holy hell out of you for something you had no part of. Then again who is to say Miroku didn't have it coming as a form of punishment by Buddha for all the lying, swindling, and the unhealthy perverseness the man did over the years to try and impregnate women to continue his legacy. 'Well I can't really pity him since one way or another he really had this coming...whether he was responsible for this situation or not,' thought Shippo eyeing the lecherous monk who was sweating painfully it seemed under the women's angry looking glares at him.
It was then that Kilala, Shippo, and Shiori noticed a shift in the wind and they smelled the scent of unknown demon blood coming their way. Kanna could have used her mirror to find out if Inuyasha and Sesshomorru were alive, but decided against it as she hadn't used her mirror after it was broken and then fixed with Shiori's help. It wasn't that she was afraid that it wouldn't work and possibly explode on her it was more of what she would find if it did work and her now loving father dead on the ground his blood everywhere and his body broken never to rise again. Such a thought made Kanna suddenly hold her mirror tighter praying to whatever higher power would hear not let such a future be the case. 'Inuyasha...you are the only person to ever love me as I am and gave me a chance to prove myself. I swear to whatever power there is in the heavens I will not let this chance leave me as you did not leave me to die at your hands...or Kagura's.
The scent of the demon blood got stronger making everyone in the group with heightened senses more and more nervous. The human side of the group or rather humans and those who don't have heightened senses like their demon counterparts were all on edge just by seeing the looks on their faces. It was then they saw two figure like shadows leaving the forest making themselves known to the worried group. "Hey you guys. Miss me?" said a covered in demon blood Inuyasha who was caring an unconscious Kohaku on his back.
Screams of "Inuyasha!" and "Daddy!" could be heard through out the village in the spot the group had waited for Inuyasha and Sesshomorru's return. In the end Inuyasha had to "gently" throw Kohaku to Sesshomorru before he was tackled by the 4 children and his 3 lovers THIS time causing him to fall over onto the ground. "Lord Inuyasha/Daddy/Father I/Rin missed you," said Shiori Kanna, Shippo, and Rin at the same time using their own little quirks in their sentences as their hugs of doom were now nearly killing a still blood covered Inuyasha.
"Hey now you didn't think a little harpy demon army infestation was going to stop me and Sesshomorru did you?" said Inuyasha as he was finally let up after receiving four hugs of doom and three kisses of air sucking death from his three mates.
"Inuyasha about my brother...," said Sango who was interrupted by Inuyasha who pointed to Sesshomorru who was now holding the boy as best he could with just one arm...and it was a tired arm at that.
"I told you I would bring him back to you. I already took out the jewel shard and revived him with Tenseiga so he should be fine in another day or two. Unfortunately Kohaku sort of had a small mental break down after he started to remember things about what he did under Naraku's service. It was most likely from earlier when he was mumbling about all of the things he did in his sleep. He stopped doing that about maybe 2-3 hours ago, but when he wakes up he should be back to his old self...I think," said Inuyasha with the last two words "I think" being an after thought, but an optimistic sounding tone meaning that it was a more then good chance of it.
It was then that Sango ran up to Inuyasha and proceeded to kiss him on the face and lips repeatedly. "Thank you Inuyasha (kiss). Thank you (kiss). Thank you (kiss)," said Sango making the others jealous as the demon slayer continued to kiss the half-demon till she was finally stopped by Inuyasha before she couldn't breathe anymore and the fact he could see her mouth was slightly swollen and numb from the kisses she had given him.
"As much as I would love to continue this further with you and the others Sango I'm not done yet with mission I set for myself. I still have to finish the other part of the plan with Sesshomorru in killing Naraku," said Inuyasha going from his playful mood to a serious one in mere moments as he spoke.
"I want to come with you Inuyasha. We all do. Let's do this together," said Kilala with Kikyo in full agreement as was Sango though he knew there was a good chance that she would have to stay behind to look after Kohaku till he awakened.
"I'm sorry, but you can't go with me again on this one," said Inuyasha as he looked at them with eyes that said had his reasons.
"You will come back right daddy?" said Shiori as she was now nearly in tears sniffling a little, which would no doubt escalate into a full blown asthma attack knowing the little bat demon girl.
"Of course I will Shiori. On my honor as your father as well as you three," said Inuyasha pointing to Shippo, Rin, and Kanna before going up to each of his mates kissing them on the lips in a very sensual manner and then handing over Kohaku to Sango.
"Brother...its time. We have to go," said Sesshomorru getting everyone's attention and the noticed the fact that Sesshomorru now had Tenseiga at his waist as he did before in the past.
"Okay let go," said Inuyasha as he and Sesshomorru rushed off to where Kagura had left in the direction of Naraku's castle.
"You think they can do it Kikyo?" said Kilala wanting the woman's opinion as she had known Inuyasha the longest of all three women.
"If anyone can it is those two. I don't think they can do it...I know they can do it," said Kikyo in a highly confident voice as she had no doubts of the power those two demon brothers wielded could stop Naraku.
"If only he had come here sooner I wouldn't be like this," said Miroku in a sad whisper as he slumped his shoulders painfully down as he was still bandaged up.
(Naraku's Castle-40 Minutes Later)
Kagura was on her knees in pain and had been for the last day and a half ever since she had returned to her so called master. When Naraku had heard her say she was willing to giver him the four jewel shards in her hand for the heart that he had in his the half spider demon became infuriated and squeezed her heart tightly. He did till she fell to her knees in agonizing pain and had nearly let go of all four jewel shards she possessed as it was her only leverage. The entire time he squeezed her heart he asked her about where she got those jewel shards from, where Kohaku was, and why the boy hadn't reported in yet to him to help him complete the sacred jewel. "Go to hell you slimy spider demon piece of shit," said Kagura as she screamed in pain as he squeezed her heart more till she couldn't hold onto the four sacred jewel shards in her hand causing them to clatter on the floor on front of Naraku.
"Defiant to the end Kagura how noble of you, which I find strange as it is not like you at all. If I did not know any better I would say you picked that up from Inuyasha, which if is the case now makes me believe that you have been conspiring with my enemies to kill me for your precious little freedom you so desire. If that is the case and I think it is then your life and usefulness has ended Kagura," said Naraku as he squeezed the heart in his hand even harder making the Wind Sorceress scream even further.
It was then that a huge explosion was heard throughout the castle shaking it down to the very foundation of the complex. "Naraku your time has come...TO DIE!" said Inuyasha destroying the wall of the room knocking large wooden splinters of wood everywhere as he and Sesshomorru entered the confines of Naraku's room in the castle.
"Ah Inuyasha I was wondering when you would get here. I have suspected that you were behind Kagura's betrayal, but Sesshomorru as well? My my it seems Sesshomorru: The Demon Lord of the Western Lands has a...unique weapon of choice to convert her to your side Inuyasha," said Naraku squeezing her heart even further till it was a ready to crack and shatter into hundreds of pieces with Kagura on the ground unconscious.
I would advise against that," said Sesshomorru removing Tokijin from his waist ready to use with a cold fire in his eyes burning with flames in them like they were the fires of hell itself.
"Oh! Why is that?" said Naraku smiling knowing they had nothing that they could give him to bargain for her freedom much less her heart that was in his hand.
"Simple you slimy, sick, sadistic, mutant spider half-demon freak. You kill Kagura and you will never get the final jewel shard needed to complete what you have wanted this entire time. Right here," said Inuyasha holding the final jewel sacred shard in his hands making Naraku's eyes widen in surprise as he had forgotten about Kohaku during all of this before he narrowed them dangerously.
"What do you want for the sacred jewel shard that is in your hand?" said Naraku as he had taken the four that Kagura had and integrated them into his nearly complete sacred jewel.
"You damn well know what we want Naraku. We want Kagura's heart and freedom for the final jewel shard and I don't think you will have a problem with it since it is not that hard of a decision to make," said Inuyasha watching Naraku's eye intently seeing the decision be worked through the psycho spider's head though it was clear to Inuyasha what type of decision Naraku was going to make.
"Very well Inuyasha you have yourself a deal. On three. Then we'll throw each item we possess to the other at the same time. (Inuyasha nods) One...Two...THREE!" said Naraku as he threw Inuyasha Kagura's heart as Inuyasha threw to Naraku the final sacred jewel shard at the same time to the spider demon.
Inuyasha caught the heart and Naraku caught the jewel shard fragment at the same time neither side making another move for good two seconds. This gave Sesshomorru time to act and get Kagura back to their side of room away from any future harm fro m Naraku. "The transaction is complete and you have what you want Naraku. Now what are you going to do now that you have it?" said Inuyasha giving Kagura's heart to Sesshomorru who took it and gave it to Kagura who was now her own woman no longer connected to Naraku, but was still unconscious from the pain she had endured earlier.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to use the sacred jewels power to grant me the strength and might of that of a god! Through the sacred jewel I will never die and I will make people pay tribute to me with giant monolith statues of me in my god like form. All who oppose me will be crushed by my loyal followers and my unlimited power," said Naraku as he put the final jewel shard in the tainted item making it for the first time in a long time since its destruction...complete.
Inuyasha just smiled a psychotic smile as his demonic aura flared to life making the now complete sacred jewel to react to his power. "You should know better to trust me with being honest in our deal Naraku," said Inuyasha as the castle around them began to collapse making everyone look around with worry with the exception being Inuyasha who stayed perfectly calm.
"What did you do?" said Naraku holding the tainted complete sacred jewel in his hand as it went from a taint black color to a demonic red.
"Sesshomorru! Get Kagura and yourself as far away fro here as possible. This place is about to go boom with a big BANG!" said Inuyasha as he turned to face a still surprised Sesshomorru who could only nod once before taking Kagura with him in his arm out of the falling apart castle.
"What is going on? What's happening?" said Naraku as he couldn't let go of the jewel as red demonic tentacles swarmed around his body while Inuyasha just smiled at him before going into full blown laughter.
"You are a complete and utterly stupid fool of a half-demon. (chuckles) I AM GOING TO CRUSH YOU AND THROW YOU INTO THE WIND!" yelled Inuyasha as his red demonic aura swirled around him as more of the castle began to crash around them.
"You altered the jewel shard you gave me! Didn't you?" said Naraku thought it was more of a statement then a question as the tentacles wrapped completely around him.
"Do you even have to ask Naraku? Come on Naraku you wanted the powers of a god didn't you? Let's go meet them and let them decide our fate!" said Inuyasha as he as the tentacles from the sacred jewel wrapped around Inuyasha drawing him into the glowing red sacred jewel.
"NO! NO! NOOOOOOO!" said Naraku before their was a massive explosion of demonic red power destroying everything in the castle beside the castle itself...everything.
(In the Nearby Forest Outside the Castle)
Sesshomorru could only look on in horror as the red domed shamed demonic wave of power covered the area before his eyes from his safe distance away from Naraku's castle. 'Inuyasha! My brother...please do not tell me you killed yourself with Naraku? Don't tell me you did that?' thought Sesshomorru as he held Kagura still close to him in his arms.
(Kaede's Village)
Everyone felt the echo of the blast and felt a pull at their hearts meaning something bad had just happened, which meant that Inuyasha had done something. Something that may have killed Naraku, but also might have killed himself as well. 'Inuyasha...no!' they all thought as they moved quickly to the source of the blast to find Inuyasha and hoped that just once their hearts were lying to them about this type of feeling.
"Sister is everything all right? What's wrong?" said Kohaku who after snapping out of his little mental breakdown had been told of everything that had happened since he had "died" before being Naraku's loyal servant to just before he had been freed and revived by Inuyasha.
"Don't worry Kohaku everything is all right...I hope," said Sango whispering the last two words to herself though those with enhanced hearing heard them quite well making them feel the same way as they headed to their destination.
(Remains of Naraku's Castle-3 Hours Later)
Sesshomorru and a now conscious Kagura walked among the chaos that was the sheer wreckage of Naraku's castle with neither demon believing what they are seeing. "To think Inuyasha did all this," said Kagura as some burned looking wood not far from them fell over as gravity one out on the dangling item.
"Yes. Even though I saw power that was unleashed that I know he created I still can't...I can't even believe it even as I see what's left of this place here and now," said a saddened Sesshomorru as he felt in some way he had failed his father, brother, and all his ancestors in not doing more for Inuyasha then he already did.
It wasn't long before the others arrived on the scene to look at the carnage of the remains of the castle. Kilala and the others ran up to Sesshomorru who had a saddened look on his face saying he was sorry even though he couldn't say it. Kilala slapped him hard for it as her anger has now rising to new heights as she lost along with the others the man she had only truly to love to her full potential. "Why? WHY? WHY COULDN'T YOU HELP HIM?" yelled Kilala as she proceeded to slapped him again and again until Sesshomorru stopped her before speaking.
"I am sorry Kilala. I wish to say I truly am sorry to all of you. However, at the time of the events that took place her Inuyasha wanted me to get an unconscious Kagura to safety. Know that he did not even tell me he was going to do what he did," said Sesshomorru as he filled them in on the details of what occurred inside the castle leading up to after he left with Kagura unconscious in his arm.
Kikyo's face was in shock, Sango was in tears holding her now awakened brother who was also in tears, and Kilala who had just collapsed to her knees on the ground before crying her heart out punching the ground beneath her making holes where she punched. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" said Kilala as she punched one final hole in the ground one more time as the kids behind her were now all crying as well as they had lost their father who gave up his life so there's would be less painful.
"We have already lost Inuyasha once already. Ye...do not think ye old heart can take it in losing Inuyasha a second time," said Kaede as her sorrow from losing Inuyasha the first time came back stronger as she clutched her chest from the pain.
Just as sorrow was about to consume the group movement from the ground not far from them could be heard as a demon clawed hand rose from the ground above it. The hand was covered in it own blood as it struggled to leave the ground almost as if it were a struggling plant trying to grow.
"Daddy?" said Shiori as it was she who was the first to see this as she took off running towards it as the smell of Inuyasha's blood was all over it.
"Shiori what is it?" said Sango now seeing where the girl was looking as the hand rose from the ground as if it were struggling to breathe.
"Daddy!" said Shiori as she had tears in her eyes as she clutched the hand that grabbed onto her forcefully, but gently all the same before started digging around the hand with the others joining in as well as their hopes in Inuyasha's survival were restored.
It was less then ten minutes before Inuyasha was fished out of the ground covered in dirt, splinters of wood, and his own blood as he was breathing erratically. It was no doubt due to what he had put himself through in a psychotic move he did to get rid of Naraku once and for all. "Let's get him back home he needs immediate assistance," said Kikyo as she put her ear to his chest hearing the erratic pulsing of the heart that his condition had been producing.
(Kaede's Village-20 minutes Later)
Inuyasha was in critical condition to say the least as Kaede, Kikyo, Shiori, and anyone who was willing and able helped try to save Inuyasha's failing life. The half-demon had bones that were broken in so many places all over his body that you could feel it when you touch an arm or leg. His entire body looked and probably felt to Inuyasha like he had been to all nine levels of hell, back, hell again, and then finally back again. It took all the skills and knowledge of both priestess, the demon slayer, and power of Kanna's mirror to show what was broken where in order to know what needed to be applied to his broken body. After 4 intense hours of nonstop medical assistance to Inuyasha they could do no more, but rest, wait, and hope that what they did was enough. "Mommy will daddy be all right," said Shiori to Kilala as she considered Kilala, like Sango, and Kikyo to be her new mother like the others did with them as well.
"I won't lie to you Shiori Inuyasha has gone through so much that it seems that its in the gods hands now. However, if I know Inuyasha as I think I do then Inuyasha will survive this and be back on his feet in no time," said Kilala giving the girl a warming hug and pat on the back before letting the girl go hoping what she said would take some degree of the weight of her worry the girl had on her shoulders...as well as her own.
Two more days past before Kaede and Kikyo could agree that Inuyasha would recover and an additional ten days before he was conscious again. Needless to say his response when opening his eyes and looking at them all worried was quite surprising. "So this is what heaven looks like huh? Or am I in hell where everything is the same?" said a still sore Inuyasha though his smiling indicated he was healthy enough to joke.
After Inuyasha said that Sango, Kikyo, Kilala, Shippo, Shiori, Rin, and Kanna all hugged him with everything they could while Sesshomorru, Kagura, Kaede, and Miroku watched as Inuyasha winced slightly from the combined hugs of everyone in his family. "Inuyasha we thought we lost you for a while when treating you," said Kaede as she saw him being helped up after the hugging embraces of the many bodies had left him.
"Yeah well I am just glad to be alive at the moment with everyone here next tot me since I would prefer it then to being somewhere else in this world or the next," said Inuyasha as he kissed all four children on the forehead before kissing all three of his mates on the lips making them blush before Kilala scowled at him for making them all worry.
"What made you want to kill Naraku in that way? You do know that for a moment we all thought you had died...again!" said Kilala in a nagging manner with her index finger in a way that said, "you should know better".
"I know I went a little overboard, but when your dealing with someone like Naraku going overboard is not really considered a bad thing. Right?" said Inuyasha grabbing Kilala's hand that was in front of him turning it over on its back kissing it sensually making the cat demons anger at her mates recklessness die down and her love for him rise up along with the heat in her cheeks rising as well.
"Just don't do it again okay Inuyasha...for us?" said Sango approaching his right side and snuggled in their kissing the right side of his face making him growl with pleasure at the affection he was receiving from her.
Not to be outdone Kikyo came in on his left side kissing him like Sango was on the right side and continued to do so on the left side of his now blissful looking face earning them an even greater growl of pleasure from Inuyasha. Feeling slightly left out Kilala of the affection being given to Inuyasha regained her composure and kissed Inuyasha right on the lips tongue and all. "I think we better give those four some privacy," said Miroku who along with Kaede had to shield the four children's eyes while they all left to give them the privacy they need to continue Inuyasha's "healing" if you will for later though knowing Inuyasha it would be the three ladies that would need to heal after he was done with them.
Naturally Miroku was right. Sometimes it paid to be lecherous when it mattered as well as came to these type of things. It wasn't long before screams of pleasure came from the hut and the three women called Inuyasha's name thus healing him of all his scar covered wounds on all three levels. "INUYASHA!" screamed all three women at once as all three of Inuyasha's physical, mental, and spiritual wounds from the past were now all healed making him for the first time in a long time since being with his mother...complete.
THE END!
(A/N: Well were here at the end of the road for Inuyasha fics. And what a hell of a way to go out. With a BANG! Or three! HA! Anyway I'm actually kind of sorry that I'm not going to write anymore Inuyasha stories for a LONG while. I mean after I've seen the way the show treats the poor guy and lets face it the way Kagome treats him I...I just can not enjoy the show anymore. So the curtain on Inuyasha fics falls to the ground (for now) while the curtain for Naruto fics rises (slowly unfortunately as I still need to try and write the first chapter plus setup the plot line for it all. "Can we have the curtain rolled up just slightly slower please? Thank you!). Anyway I hope you enjoyed it as I know I certainly did (especially when I killed off Kagome and Koga that was fun). As for starting to try and write my Naruto fic I ask that I receive some help where to go for info on jutsu's, spelling of names (cause lets face I don't want to miss spell someone's name and look like and ass), and other stuff. Also I need you guys to vote on whether I should start the fic when he is at the age of 11 or 12 after the Mizuki incident. I have one vote already and I need more. MORE! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay now I'm just being silly. Okay let's wrap this up. Rub a dub dub thanks for the grub. YAY GOD! (THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! Sorry...that damn monkey got loose again I swear if I don't get it on the next safari hunt I'm just going to fire a nuclear warhead at it.) Anyway I hope you enjoyed this presentation of my Inuyasha fic for all those Kagome and Koga haters and stuff. Till my Naruto fic...PEACE!)
