Phantom64: Here it is! The finale for the InuYasha arc. Get ready for one intense battle.
Chapter 11: The Love of a Half-Demon
InuYasha began to open his eyes He saw several men in white uniforms and odd shaped weapons had set up camp. Some had their weapons raised at the waking InuYasha. "Don't move." one of them ordered.
"What the hell is this?" InuYasha asked. Soon his friends came up to him.
"InuYasha? Is that you?" Shippo asked cautiously.
"Yeah it's me Shippo." InuYasha said rubbing his head. "What the hell happened?" Suddenly he remembered everything. Naraku's Castle, Alistar, Namine, and him attacking his friends. He jumped up, causing the SS troopers to raise their weapons. "Where's Kagome?" he asked frantically.
"She's gone." Replied Koga, who had bandages around his legs. Ginta and Hakkaku were helping him walk. "Taken by that kid with the black hair along with my pieces of the Sacred Jewel."
"What!" InuYasha asked angrily.
Lt. Siegfried walked in front of the half-demon. "Lower your weapons, troopers." he ordered. The SS troopers did as they were told and went back to their duties. Siegfried turned back to InuYasha. "InuYasha, you need to calm down and explain what happened. Your knowledge could help us stop Naraku. " the SS lieutenant explained.
"I know what happened." InuYasha began. "After being ambushed by Heartless last night, One of them pushed me into some dark portal. When I woke up I was in Naraku's castle. Alistar said all this stuff about me working with them. Then he ordered this blond haired girl...I think her name was Namine. She did something to my memories, She made me forget about my friends." InuYasha was silent for a moment. "When I woke up from that, All I had was my memroies before I met Kagome. They all claimed to be my servants and tricked me into attacking you all. I fell like such an idiot!" He yelled.
"Don't fell bad InuYasha." Sora said. "We know you weren't yourself."
"But Naraku has all the pieces of the Sacred Jewel and Kagome!" InuYasha yelled, hitting the ground with his fist.
"InuYasha. Beating yourself up isn't going to get her back." Sora said. " The only ones who know where Naraku's castle is are you and Koga, but Koga can barely walk. We need you to show us where it is." He looked over at Kairi for a few seconds and turned back to InuYasha. "I know how it feels to have someone you care about taken from you. But I knew that crying over it wouldn't bring her back."
InuYasha was silent for a moment, he then raised his head and smiled at his new friend. "Thanks Sora." He stood up proudly, ready to face Naraku and Alistar. "Come on! What are we waiting on? Naraku's castle is this way!"
Lt. Siegfried began to smile. "You heard 'em men! Pack up and move out!" Soon the men were scrambling for combat. Siegfried went over to Sora and Kairi. "Sora, we will help you get into Naraku's castle. We're ready to avenge the deaths of the Nervana's crew! "
"Thanks Lieutenant. We'll take all the help we can get." Sora said. When Siegfried left to ready soldiers, Sora went over to Kairi who was sitting on a log. "You okay, Kairi?" he asked sitting down next to her
"Yeah, I'm fine Sora." She answered turning around to meet his gaze. " It's just that, do you think what Alistar said about Namine is true?" she asked with worry.
"Ah, he's probably lying just to mess with our heads," Sora said putting his arm around her. " Besides, why would Namine even work for that nut job anyway? "
Kairi giggled at this. "Yeah, I guess you're right." she placed her head on his shoulder. "We need to get moving. Kagome's in danger." Sora agreed and they both got together with the others.
"Hey mutt!" Koga said to InuYasha. "I won't be able to be of any help like this so I'm leaving it up to you to save Kagome! Got it?"
"Got it." InuYasha said. "Don't worry wolf boy, I'll bring her back." he then ran to join the small army heading for Naraku's castle.
"Good luck guys!" Ginta yelled waving.
"Yeah, see ya!" Hakkaku yelled.
Koga sat there, watching the group go. ' Don't screw this up InuYasha' he thought.
Elsewhere...
The mighty Sesshomaru looked on as his followers, Jaken and Rin trailed behind. He had long white hair, yellow eyes, 2 purple paint lines on both sides of his face and had a purple crescent moon on his forehead. He wore a white robe with blue designs on them, his right arm was missing, and he had his two swords, the live giving Tenseiga, and the powerful Tokigen, at his side.
"What is it lord Sesshomaru?" asked the small kappa demon Jaken. He was about the size of Shippo, had small priest clothing, was green skinned, had yellow eyes and wielded a staff with two faces depicted on it.
"It seems that my half-brother is going to fight Naraku." He sated still looking ahead.
"InuYasha gonna fight Naraku?" the young human Rin asked. She had black hair with a part of it sticking upward in a ponytail, and wore a yellow and white checkered kimono. She was riding on Sesshomaru's two headed dragon Ah-Un. The right head was Al and the left head was Un.
"Yes he is. I think I'll go and see what happens." He said smiling. Then he transformed into a ball of energy and floated toward Naraku's castle.
"W-wait! Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken called to the ever distant ball of energy. "Oh, I hate it when he runs off like that!"
"Come on Jaken!" Rin called. "Let's set up camp and make dinner. Lord Sesshomaru will be hungry when he gets back!" Jaken sighed and went to help Rin
Elsewhere...
Travis McKnight looked from his hiding spot near the crystalized fortress. It looked like an old styled Japanese castle, except it was made of shining purple crystals. The castle shone brightly in the darkness of the night. He stared into his binoculars at the army of Heartless and demons waiting outside the castle gates. "Oh boy!" He said looking at the three Dusks, two Dancers, and the one Samurai behind him. "This could be tricky. We're gonna need one hell of a distraction to pull this heist off!" He suddenly heard the sounds of battle cries and laser fire. He turned around and look in his binoculars to see SS soldier, Sora, Sora's friends, and people he didn't now charging at the Heartless and demons. "Hello distraction!" he said clicking his heels. "Okay boys, lets move!" He snapped his fingers and they all disappeared in clouds of smoke.
Everyone was fighting valiantly the SS troopers pounded the Heartless and demons with blue laser fire. The SS foot soldiers hacked them up with their swords. Lt. Siegfried was slashing about 5-7 heartless and demons a slash.
"Sora!" Siegfried called. "We'll handle the outward defenses, you all find a way inside!"
"I have a way!" InuYasha said. "Wind Scar!" InuYasha slashed his sword horizontally, creating a gust of wind that destoyed every Heartless and demon in it's line of path. "Come on! This way!" Soon Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, Ryo, Stitch, and InuYasha were running into the castle.
"Good luck guys." Miroku said as he, Sango, and Kilala stayed to help the SS soldiers.
Naraku stared out of the window at the chaos outside. Kagome was behind him in shackles, and Alistar Jangpo, and Namine next to him.
"Are you sure you don't need our help?" Alistar asked.
Naraku chuckled. "Fool. I have the Sacred Jewel now. I can handle Sora and the rest of his friends. Now go back to Maleficent and tell her that her keyblade problem is about to be over."
Alistar smiled and said. "Whatever you say Naraku. What ever you say." And with that, the three of them disappeared in clouds of darkness.
Kagome stood there wide eyed. 'I can't believe this!' she thought. 'The game is real? Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Namine, and Maleficent are real!' Naraku turned around to the school girl and smiled.
"Heh, I think I'll wait till they get here to put the last shard into it." He said holding the final pink shard in his hand. Around his neck was the nearly completed Sacred Jewel. It shone a bright pink. Kagome was worried about what would happen. 'Pleas be alright InuYasha..'
Sora and the others continued to fight their way to the top of the castle. Samurai Heartless jumped in the air only to be slashed by Sora and InuYahsa. Donald, casted fire, sending two Night Riders out the window and plummeting to the ground. They were on the final floor, the door to where Naraku and Kagome was. It was being blocked by several Heartless . Shadows, Samurai, Night Walkers, Night Riders, and Sumo Heartless.
"Come on we can take 'em!" InuYasha yelled. Suddenly half of the Heartless were destroyed by none other than InuYasha's Half-brother.
"Sesshomaru!" InuYasha asked in shock.
"Your half-brother?" Sora asked.
"Go and kill Naraku InuYasha.." he ordered. "I will contend with these things.
"But, why are you helping us?" the half-demon asked flabbergasted.
"I'm going to build an empire someday remember?" he asked smugly. "I can't have people like Naraku getting in my way. Now go!" He then charged at the Heartless.
InuYasha stood there for a few seconds then he and his friends busted the doors open and found another set of stairs. They climbed them quickly and opened the doors to find Naraku and Kagome inside. It was a large circular room with three windows, Kagome was chained up on the right whilr Naraku stood there. He was in a white baboon belt that covered his face and body. Around hsi neck was the Sacred Jewel shard.
"So you're Naraku!" Sora yelled.
"And you must be Sora." Naraku commented.
"It's over Naraku!" InuYasha yelled. ":Now let Kagome go!"
Naraku simply laughed. "I see that your memory loss is gone."
"Where's Alistar!" Ryo demanded.
"Hmph. That brat and his friends are gone already. I told them I could handle you weaklings." Naraku then placed the final shard into the jewel It shone brightly but then turned from pink to black because of Naraku's evil intentions.
"No!" Kagome yelled.
"Yes!" Naraku yelled as hs released hsi baboon pelt to reveal his human face with long black hair and sea blue robe. A pair of long, red demon wings sprouted from his back. Then several spider legs came from his back as well. His feet became big, and had long toenails. His arms bulged with muscles and spikes came our of his shoulders. Horns sprouted from each side of his neck and his eyes became blood red. "Feel my fury!" He let out a blast of energy that shattered the roof and walls of the room. When the blast cleared they could see the night sky as Naraku floated there laughing. Kagome's bonds had been broken and she moved toward the group.
"InuYasha!" She said hugging the half-demon.
"Kagome. Get out of here. Things are gonna get ugly." InuYasha ordered.
"No! She said readying her bow and sacred arrows. "I'm gonna fight alongside you!"
"That goes for me to Sora!" Kairi said twirling her keyblade. "We fight together, got it?"
"Enough talk!" Naraku yelled. He raised his hands and red lightning came from the sky. They all dodged it. Sora threw his keyblade and chopped of Naraku's right atm. He simply laughed as it grew back. "Fool! You cannot kill me!" Ryo used light slash and separated Naraku's top half, from his bottom half. Both halves simply fused back together. Naraku lashed out with red energy whips, giving many of them small cuts as they dodged it. Donald tried every spell he knew, but none of them worked on the demon.
"Try this!" Kairi yelled as she threw her keyblade which bounced off of the Sacred Jewel. Naraku screeched in pain. Everyone saw this and knew what to do. "Everyone!" Kairi yelled. Aim for the jewel!" Naraku turned around in anger and grabbed Kairi by the neck.
"You will pay for that human!" He yelled as he tightened his grip. Kairi struggled as he choked her to death.
"Get away from her!" Sora roared as he slashed Naraku's arm. Kairi laid there coughing. Sora gabbed her and took her to where Kagome was.
"Are you okay Kairi?" Sora asked worried.
"Im fine." She said. Come on Sora! It's not over yet!"
"Right!" Sora said.
Ryo whispered into Stitch's ear. Stitch nodded and jumped in front of Naraku. "Hey! Hey! Ban zebexhe! " Stitch yelled sticking his tongue out at the demon.
A/N: I apologize for my lack of knowledge on stitch's alien lingo.)
"You insolent creature!" Naraku fired energy beams from his hands. Stitch used his incredible agility to jump and avoid the beams. While he was distracted Ryo jumped and slashed the jewel with his sword. Naraku screamed again as Donald casted lighting on the jewel. Much to Naraku's horror, it was beginning to crack. InuYasha and Goofy attacked with their weapons. Naraku screeched again."No! It won't end like this!" Naraku to lash out with energy whips in every direction. Goofy protected Kagome and Kairi with his shield. Out of the furious lash of whips Sora and InuYasha jumped up and jabbed the Tessaiga and Keyblade into the Sacred Jewel. Naraku gave out a screech of pain as the jewel shattered. The shards lit up the sky like a meteor shower. Soon Naraku was screaming as hundreds of the demons that kept him alive bursted out of his body only to whither and die.
"No! Stop!" He yelled weakly but the demons would not listen. Soon the last demon sprouted out and died. Naraku was gone. All that was left was a bandaged man who couldn't get up. Only one eye could be seen through the bandages. "Now you see me for what I was.." he said weakly and coughed. "The same dying human I was fifty years ago..." He coughed again as Kagome walked near her dying enemy.
"I know Naraku was your demon name." She stated. "Tell me, what was your real name?"
Naraku coughed again as he answered. "So you want to now my name?" He began to chuckle and coughed again. "My name was... Onigumo..." and with that his body became dust and was carried away by the wind.
"We did it!" Donald yelled happily.
"Wahoo!" Goofy yelled happily as he jumped up and down.
"Um guys." Ryo asked. "Since we killed Naraku, shouldn't this place be crumbling or something?"Suddenly the castle began to rumble. "Oh I hate it when I'm right!"
"We need to get out of here!" Kairi yelled.
"Wait!" Sora could hear something. Engines. Up in the sky floated the SS transport. It landed on the platform and opened.
"Get in!" Lt. Siegfried yelled over the rumbling of the crystal castle. Everyone piled into the flying transport. As it flew off the castle shattered into a million pieces. Soon it landed where Koga and the other SS soldiers were stationed. Whenit opened they were greeted by the cheers and claps from the SS soldiers. InuYasha and Kagome were greeted by their friends who hugged them.
"InuYasha!" Shippo yelled happily jumping into his arms.
"Good to see you too buddy." He greeted.
"I'm glad that you are okay Kagome." Sango said.
"Yeah, thanks to InuYasha." She said hugging her beloved half-demon.
"Hey now! Don't get too mushy!" He said blushing.
"InuYahsa and Kagome sitting a tree!" Shippo sang laughing. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Okay Shippo! Now you're gonna get it!" InuYasha began to chase the poor fox child around the area.
"Hey! Stop InuYasha! I was just joking! InuYasha!" Shippo screamed.
"InuYasha! Leave poor Shippo alone!" Kagome called. When he didn't listen she yelled "Sit boy!" And with that InuYasha was sent to the ground.
"Hey Miroku. You don't have those beads around your hand. Where's that wind tunnel of yours?" Goofy asked looking at the perverted monk's bead-less hand.
"You see Goofy, Naraku placed a curse on my grandfather that caused him and any other ancestor to have the wind tunnel." Miroku explained. "The wind tunnel slowly expanded and eventually swallowed my grandfather and it was passed down to my father. The same thing happened and it was passed downed to me. Once Naraku was defeated the curse was broken. "He said happily. "Now I can work on other things," He said taking Sango's hand. She giggled and kissed him on the cheek.
"What's happened to the jewel?" Donald asked.
"It's been scattered across the land again." Koga said walking toward them.
"Koga! You can walk?" Ryo asked.
"Yep! Just my luck that two sacred jewel shards landed near me." He said happily.
"Just when we thought we could keep up with him!" Ginta whined.
"Yeah," agreed Hakkaku.
"Well, Time for us to go guys! Koga said. "See ya!" He transformed into a whirlwind and sped off.
"Koga! Wait up!" Ginta yelled as he ran afer his leader. "Well nice seeing you guys!"
"Bye!" Hakkaku yelled as he ran alongside his friend. "Koga!"
Lt. Siegfried walked up to Sora and his friends. "I want to personally thank you for what you have done today." He said shaking Sora's hand. "With Naraku gone Maleficent is short one ally. We're heading back to Radiant Garden. Would you all like an escort?" he asked.
"No thanks." Sora said. "We still have some things to do before we go back there."
"Very well." He moved over to Ryo. "It was good to see you Ryo." He shook his hand. "Keep this up and you could become a Lieutenant yourself."
"R-really!" he asked excitedly. He nodded to him and turned his gaze to InuYasha's group.
"I would like you all to keep this to yourselves." He ordered. "The less people know about this incident the better." They all nodded in agreement. "Till we meet again warrior of the keyblade."
He entered one of the transports as it was taking off. The three transports flew off into the sky.
"Well what are you guys gonna do now?" Sora asked.
"Restart the search for the sacred jewel of course." Kagome stated.
"With Naraku gone it'll be a snap." InuYasha added.
"Here, Sora. We want you to have this." Miroku gave Sora a beaded bracelet that had a large bead on it and strange lettering. "It stands for courage. Suddenly the bracelet began to glow and Sora was transported to the heart of the world. The bracelet revealed the keyhole and Sora locked it.
"What was that?" Shippo asked.
"It means it's time for us to go." Kairi said.
"Be sure to drop by sometime." Sango said.
"Good luck!" Miroku said.
"Be sure to say hi to Riku for me." Kagome said.
"Wait. How do you know Riku?" Sora asked.
"Gah! Well I uh, heared you talk about him awhile back so um...come on guys!" She said grabbing InuYasha's arm, "Those shards aren't gonna find themselves, a heh, heh." She then pulled InuYasha away. "By guys!"
"Kagome! Are you doing? Let go of me!" InuYasha protested. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala looked at each other and shrugged. They all waved goodby and chased afer Kagome and InuYasha.
"Ya know, I think Kagome knows more than she lets on." Goofy stated.
"I guess there are some thing best left unsaid captain." Ryo said.
And with that Sora and co. departed the Land of Demons, and back into the endless reach of space...
Elsewhere...
Back at the remains of Naraku's castle, Travis looked at the wreckage with sadness. "Dang it! how am I gonna get paid now!" Suddenly he spotted the young girl Kanna holding what he was looking for: the crystal ball. With her master dead, Kanna had no other purpose in life. She gave the ball to the thief and then became dust just like her late master. "Okay, creey butI got what Ralix was looking for! time to get my money!" he then snapped his fingers anddisappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Elsewhere...
"Lord Sesshomaru! There you are!" Jaken said to his master. "There's some weirdo here to see you."He went up the hill to find his old acquaintance with the long silver hair and single black angelic wing on his back.
"Sephrioth." Sesshomaru stated. The one wing angle turned around to see the dog demon.
"Hello Sesshomaru." he said with absolutely no emotion in his voice. "How goes your empire plan?"
"Im working on it." the demon said.
"I saw the fight. Sora is more powerful than the last time I saw him." the one winged angle said.
"Indeed." Sesshomaru agreed. "Do you think he'll be powerful enough when the Chasers find him?" he asked.
"That is really none of my concern." Sephrioth said.
"So what's happened to that cloud person you love to torture?" the demon asked. "Is he dead?"
"No. Not yet." Sephrioth stated. "He hasn't suffered enough to be granted death." He turned to Sesshomaru and said. "It's been nice seeing you." And with that he disappeared in a beam of light.
"Who was that Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked walking to her master's side.
"A man who scares even me Rin." Sesshomaru said still looking upward.
End of Chapter...
Phantom64: Yay! Im done with another chapter!
Okay, my poll with Diz didn't work out too well. But now that my story has gained popularity, I have an even better one!
Now it is time for: VILLAINS OF TOMORROW!
When they make the real Kingdom Hearts 3 they need to think of new villains to join Maleficent. Now that those Organization dudes are gone Maleficent can get back on top as the main villain. With everyone dead she's gonna need fresh faces for her group. Disney still has some good movie villains they haven't used yet and villains from the Disney tv shows. Every two chapters I'll have a new villain and profile him/her. Then you tell me in your review if you either do or don't want to see that villain in KH3. I'll have a new one every 2 chapters.
Villain 1: The Evil Queen.
Personality: vain, wicked, and jealous if someone is prettier than her.
That's right it's the villain from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She's gained popularity because she is the very first Disney movie villain.
Pros: First Disney Villain, Seems to know a bit of magic, and is good with potions.
Cons: The con is more of a question: What an she do? Maleficent has powerful magic attacks and can transform into a dragon. What can the Evil Queen do? Trick Kairi into eating a sleeping apple?
