InuYasha: A Vampire Legacy

Chapter Nineteen

The Final Battle Part II

The evil hanyou just chuckled. "I did nothing to her, Inuyasha," he replied. "It was you. If you hadn't turned her in the first place, none of this wouldn't have happened. It's simply because of her miko powers that the pain she is in is so much. The vampire transformation and the miko powers- when they mix, it's not a pretty sight to watch."

Inuyasha growled. "But Kikyou was a miko!"

"She was turned vampire -after- she died," Naraku reminded him. "She can't feel physical pain after dying."

Inuyasha, once again, growled menacingly and watched as Sango and Miroku got Izayoi onto Kirara and got somewhere's safe with her and Kagome.

That is, until Miroku started screaming.

"No, Houshi-Sama!" Sango cried and held him tightly. "Y-You can't…"

Kagome growled. "DIE, NARAKU!" even with blood pouring out, she was still able to move and shoot an arrow. With his barrier down, he should not be able to survive, and since he was a vampire, he didn't have a heart…

Her arrow went straight for Naraku, illuminating the sky in a bright pink light. It hit directly into his chest, causing the hanyou to scream and slowly dissapear.

Kagome collapsed against Kirara's weight, and wondered. 'Is he gone?'

"Houshi-Sama…" tears welled in Sango's eyes. "No… N-Nani?"

Kagome looked over at Miroku and Sango. Miroku was holding his hand in agony, but suddenly, the wind stopped blowing completely. She blinked.

"Houshi-Sama, is it…gone?" Kagome asked worriedly. She hadn't known them for very long, but they were very dear to her and she would die without them by her side.

Miroku nodded, sighing. "Hai. It is," he said as the Kaza Ana disappeared once and for all. Sango screamed out of joy and hugged him... but then thought of something.

"Oh no…" she whispered. "Kirara, fly down!" she instructed and the neko youkai flew down. Miroku, Izayoi and Kagome all got off her, but Sango stayed.

"Sango?" Miroku asked tiredly.

"Stay here, Houshi-Sama!" Sango exclaimed. "I must find Kohaku!"

Miroku nodded in understanding and watched his beloved fly away.

Kagome kneeled on the ground in pain. The bleeding stopped, but she was still in pain and her wounds were still open. Izayoi noticed this and walked over. She chanted something in a language she didn't know, and suddenly the wounds on Kagome's back, along with the pain, disappeared.

"A-Arigatou…" Kagome panted. Izayoi only nodded and smiled. She felt something at her neck and slapped it.

Myouga came flying down into her hand.

"Myouga-jiji, I haven't seen you in ages," Izayoi smiled. "How are things?"

"Oh, quite well, Izayoi-sama," Myouga the flea replied. "I didn't expect to see you here... I thought you were under Naraku's captivity."

"You mean you knew and didn't tell us!" Inuyasha growled. He walked over to the flea and seeing the angry look on his face, made Izayoi giggle. 'Poor Myouga… he's in for it now.'

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed running over to him. "Is this it?"

"Is what what?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome held up a pink round jewel. "Is this the Shikon no tama?"

Inuyasha blinked, stammered for a moment and gaped like a goldfish. "Uh… yeah, um… where did you get that?"

"It was on the ground over there," Kagome answered, pointing at the entrance towards Naraku's castle.

"It's completely purified, Kagome!" he exclaimed. "You purified the jewel by just touching it?"

Kagome looked confused. "I…well…I defeated Naraku… but uh … hai?"

Inuyasha did an anime fall. "What are we going to do now?"
