"What do you mean?" I asked in a quaking voice.

"Too late," Inuyasha responded. He then drew Tetsiga, and positioned himself in front of me. Protecting me from what was to come.

As I stood there my eyes began to water, a purple miasma was rolling across the ground. I reached orward to squese Inuyasha's arm as I told him, "I love you."

He thured to me, gently lowering his blade, "Oh, Kagome..." but he never got to finish those words. Naraku came first.

"How sweet of you prestess, but don't forget..." Naraku was comming out from behind a tree with a new incarnation, as Kagura's feather circled above him like a vulture..."He's already taken!"

As Naraku launched a tenticle and his incarnation towards Inuyasha and I, I ran from Inuyasha into an open space, notching a bow as I ran. Inuyasha could take care of that incarnation. I could deal with Naraku, I had inproved my marksman ship, he wasn't expecting that...

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You stupid girl! How? how did you... " Naraku was hit, his right arm and sholder gone. Kagura's feather was rapidly decending, and that's when i realized that there was more than one person in it...

Kikyo jumped off of Kagura's feather and ran dropping to Naraku's side. "What did you do? You stupid re-incarnation of mine! What did you do to him?" she screamed at me as she quiclk set out to help heal him. With their combined abilities, he had his arm back in 20 seconds.

"Inuyasha, get away, go! No don't look!" I screamed as I ran towards him, trying to keep him away from their passionate embraceing. But he was close enough already to see them, and I could see the burning hatred on his face.

"Vial betrayer! Dead heart! Why?" Yelled Inuyasha as he ran past me, determination clearly seen in his every move. I turned and raced after him, he could get so emotional in a fight that he was blind to the enamy's movements. Tetsuiga raised above his head Inuyasha raced onwards to the battle awaiting him, the final confrontation between them.

"Did you really think that you were worthy of the original version, did you?" Naraku asked as he caressed Kikyo's cheek.

stoping short of Naraku by just a few feet, Inuyasha circled him... "You will die as slowly as I can make you die!" Inuyasha Ground out from between his clenched teeth.

"Really Inuyasha, you must learn to control your temper. How can my re-incarnation stand you?" asked Kikyo cooly as she caressed Naraku.

I was so discusted and angry at this point; they were playing with him! You could literally see Inuyasha vibrating with anger. So I knocked an arrow and sent it flying straight through Naraku's heart. He was so focused on Inuyasha he failed to see me...

"No! No! Not my love! You can't die, you promised me we could be together." Screamed Kikyo as she cradled Naraku's bloody, dying body.

"Kagome, why did you do that?" asked Inuyasha slowly turning around, " He was mine to kill! I was supposed to kill him! Why did you take that from me?" Inuyasha was walking toward me, disappointment and confusion in his eyes. He was griping Tetsuiga uncertainly, like he didn't know what to do with it.

"No!" I whispered, terified

"No Inuyasha!" I screamed, it fading and running through the forest.

Naraku was sitting up and forming an attack, aimed at Inuyasha.

"NNNNOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, Inuyasha stopped walking and began to turn his head. Then he saw Naraku, and something speeding towards him.

But it was too late for him, the attack was launched, and Inuyasha was too far away from me to knock him down. Then I remembered, and in a desprate attempt...

"SIT BOY!"


But it wasn't quick enough. I couldn't save him. Though Naraku was dead, so was Inuyasha.
