InuYasha: A Vampire Legacy

Chapter Eighteen

Final Battle Part I

Months had passed since Kagome and Inuyasha returned back in time to the Sengoku Jidai, and not much has happened. If there was a demon attack, it was never a very strong demon and could easily be taken out using one swing of the Kaze no kizu or being sucked into the Kaza Ana. Kagome helped out a lot in battle as well. She used her claws to slash demons, wings to trap them and possibly throw them into different directions, and she used her teeth to obviously bite in the demons, however gross it may taste. Kagome was highly reminded of Sunny Baudelaire. She laughed silently and Inuyasha looked at her with a weird look.

"What's so funny?" he asked her wonderingly.

"Oh, nothing," she smiled. "A character in a book I'm reading."

Inuyasha just nodded and stared back up at the sky. Suddenly he sniffed the air and his eyes widened. "It can't be…no, it can't possibly be-" he was cutt off by a scream and he went off running.

"Inuyasha, where are you going?" Kagome screamed.

"Don't follow me!" he yelled back. "Stay with Miroku and Sango!"

Kagome nodded reluctantly, wondering what the hell was going on.

When Inuyasha got to the source of the screaming, he could not believe his eyes. There, in the clutches of the evil hanyou who had turned them all into vampires...

...was his mother.

"Mother!" Inuyasha exclaimed. He ran towards Naraku, but was thrown back by a barrier, and collapsed to the ground.

Izayoi opened her eyes and looked around, finally spotting him. "Inuyasha!" she cried. "Let go of me!" she exclaimed to Naraku.

Naraku chuckled. "I don't think so, my dear Izayoi," he chuckled. "I will absorb you into my body and your powers will be mine."

"Not on your life!'' Inuyasha exclaimed and came at him with Tetsusaiga. "ADAMANT BURRAGE!"

'How... how is this possible?' Naraku wondered as shards hit his barrier and broke it, rendering him powerless. A shard hit his arm and let go of Izayoi, who fell to the ground. Inuyasha ran and caught her before Naraku could. He put her against a tree and told her to take Tetsusaiga's sheath.

A sacred arrow flew inbetween Inuyasha and Naraku and hit Naraku square in the chest. The two hanyous both looked up at the sky to see Kagome on Kirara with Sango and Miroku behind her, and she was holding a bow.

"Kagome! I thought I told you to stay behind!" he exclaimed.

"I couldn't!" Kagome exclaimed. "You told me to fight for you, and now you expect me to leave you behind when you go and fight!"

Inuyasha sighed. She had a point, but...

"It's too dangerous!" he exclaimed. "Get my mother to safety!"

Kagome, Miroku and Sango's eyes widened and their eyes drifted over towards Izayoi, who was watching Naraku and Inuyasha fight. 'Inuyasha told me his mother was dead!' Kagome thought. 'He told all of us! Did Naraku resurrect her? For what purpose?'

Suddenly, she screamed. A searing pain in her back began to occur, and she could no longer hold in the screams.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I wouldn't let your guard down if I were you!" Naraku sent a blast at Inuyasha, who took the full blow.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed as blood began to pour out of her back.

Sango's breath caught half-way up her throat. "M-M-Miroku, w-w-what's happening t-t-to her?"

"I honestly don't know, Sango," he whispered, wincing as blood came out of Kagome's back. No matter what Sango and Miroku tried to do, they could not stop the bleeding.

Inuyasha looked up at them helpessly. 'Oh… what can I do? Maybe she was better off with Kouga… maybe it was my mark that affected her… but I marked her, changed her. So how could that be?'

He looked at Naraku. "What did you do to her?" he growled.
