Chapter 14
I would like to thank my readers and I would like to thank TamerofDragons for the help on spelling Sango's weapon. So now on with the story. )
Naraku turned as round and watched in horror as Kagome's aura became darker and more dangerous than that of his own. Her miko power was begging for release as it glowed a dangerous blue. She picked up the sword and took it from its sheath and said, "I will never be yours." before hitting his barrier with the swords power combined with her own.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.
A bright light exploded and once the dust cleared Naraku appeared with a pasted out Kagome. Inuyasha drew his sword an stood along side his brother. Just as they were about to attack Kagome's eyes snapped open. She look at Naraku and yelled out, "Let go of me!" before burning him with her miko energy. Once she was free she took the jewel and yelled out, "Now!"
"Wind Scar!", "Dragon Strike!" Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha yelled as they attacked together.
As Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stood there they listened to see if Kagome had made it out of the attack. Just as they were listening they heard Naraku yell, "You worthless bitch! You're coming with me to hell!"
With Kagome…Kagome had jumped out of the way but dropped the sheath of Inuyasha's sword. Just as she reached for it she saw Naraku appear before her and yell in pure anger, "You worthless bitch! You're coming with me to hell!"
With every one…"Inuyasha get Sango! This place is going to give in." Sesshoumaru yelled as he picked up Rin.
"But what about…" he said.
"Now!" Sesshoumaru growled in anger as he noticed that because of Naraku's attack he and Rin had lost their unborn child.
Inuyasha picked Sango up and was followed by Kirara. Once they were safely out side Inuyasha laid Sango by Miroku's side. He then turned to his brother to see him in a rage and in depression. His brother met his gaze for a moment before turning to the destroyed room. Inuyasha followed his gaze and saw a barrier. The barrier flickered before breaking.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he was about to go to where the barrier was.
"Waite…it might not have been her." Sesshoumaru growled as he drew his sword ready to fight.
After looking at the peal of wood, the wood finally moved and they watched as a figure slowly stood up. Inuyasha sheathed his sword and ran over to Kagome. Kagome smiled and said, "Hold this for me." before handing him the jewel. After he took it she fell and passed out. Inuyasha dropped the jewel and caught Kagome before she could hit the ground. That's when he noticed Kagome had a wound that went straight through her stomach.
Sango, Rin and Miroku all woke up to find an angry Inuyasha, a worried Sesshoumaru and a very badly beaten up Kagome. Rin and Sango stood up and said, "We'll get to healing her. You guys should start calling the guards." as they walked over to Kagome and Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru took Rin's wrist and pulled her to him. He sniffed her to make sure she was alright. He looked down at her but before he could say anything Rin said, "Don't worry…we'll talk about it later." before walking off with Sango.
"Inuyasha…Miroku…let's go we need to make sure the surrounding villages were not attached." Sesshoumaru said as he let go of Rin
"Don't worry…we'll keep her safe." Sango said as she took Kagome's body from him.
After he let Sango take hold of Kagome Inuyasha picked up what Kagome had trusted him to keep safe and did as he was told after saying, "You better."
"Come on…let's get her to one of the undamaged rooms." Rin said as she reached Sango
"Yeah, we have to stop the bleeding." Sango said.
Inuyasha and Miroku took the northern part of the lands while Sesshoumaru checked the south. There was some damage but not much. Inuyasha then realized something, 'I really do love her…I should be the one cleaning her wounds.' He thought. He was brought out of thought when a small yet tall girl that looked to be a demon said, "My lord…my village is under attack. My mother sent me to get help. Please help us!"
"How many demons?" he asked
"I don't know my lord. Please we must hurry." she pealed.
"Then we shall help in any way we can. Inuyasha get Sesshoumaru and Sango. I'll go on a head." Miroku said as he left with the child.
"But my lord there is no time." the girl said.
Before anything else could be said Sesshoumaru appeared and took the girl by the throat. He lifted her up and said, "What are you doing here? You veil creature. Leave my lands." in a dangerous growl.
The girl hissed and clawed Sesshoumaru, once she was free she transformed into a cat demon. She smiled evilly before saying, "Naraku promised us revenge and a part of the jewel but seeing as how he died it thought I'd take it myself."
"We don't have time for this, kill her!" Inuyasha growled
"Kill me and your mate's will die. We are not stupid you pathetic mutts." she hissed.
"If you hurt them I'll kill you." Inuyasha growled as his eyes became red and his claws became longer.
"Well give me the jewel and we shall leave." She hissed.
"Never!" Inuyasha yelled before attacking her.
"Rin look out!" Sango yelled as she stood surrounded.
"Sango!" Rin cried
The room was soon filled with the scent of Rin's and Sango's blood. Rin had some minor scrapes while Sango wasn't so lucky. Since they were in battle no one noticed that the hanyou Kagome hand now become human. She opened her eyes and paralyzed every one in the room whose aura she didn't recognized.
"Kagome!" Rin yelled as she made her way to her.
"Don't move you'll open up your wounds." Sango added.
"What is going one?" she asked as she ignored what Sango had told her.
"Their cat demons…they want the jewel." Rin answered.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked
"Out side…he hasn't returned with Miroku of Sesshoumaru." Sango answered.
Kagome closed her eyes and consecrated on healing her self and Sango's along with Rin's wounds. Once they were healed Kagome got up and threw the four cat demons so hard that they passed out. "Look after them…I'm going to find the guys." Kagome said as she ran out.
"Kagome wait!" Sango yelled
"What!" was the answer.
"Take Kirara…your human now after all." Sango said as a transformed Kirara walked over to her.
"Thanks…lets go Kirara." Kagome said.
"Inuyasha's going be pisst off with us." Rin said.
"Let's just tie these cats up." Sango replied
Kagome got there and landed in between the fight. She had managed to avoid the attack that was meant for her Inuyasha. She turned to Miroku and saw that he was bleeding very badly. Just as she was walking over to Inuyasha she was pulled back and a knife was held at her throat.
"If you want her back alive, hand over the jewel." Kagome heard her capturer say
"Inuyasha, is Miroku alright?!" Kagome yelled out.
"Quiet you bitch…give me the jewel." The cat demon hissed.
'And hear I thought I was going to get a break.' Kagome thought before saying, "Let go of me and leave us the hell alone."
"Your just a human and by the looks of it a unimportant one at that." She hissed back.
"How's Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked as he also relaxed
"Fine." Kagome answered.
Just as the cat demon was about to shove the knife into Kagome she was blasted back and then shocked. After words Kagome kept her still and said, "I'm tried of fighting so why don't you just leave or I'll kill you." in a dangerous hiss.
"Ha, you think you can beat me. You must be joking." She hissed.
"I warned you and I'm sorry but I do have something to do. And it is rather important so die." Kagome said as she purified the cat demon with out a second thought.
After words she turned to Inuyasha and smiled at him. She walked over to her mate and requested the jewel. Inuyasha handed the jewel over without a second thought. Kagome took the jewel in her hands and watched as it became nearly white. Sesshoumaru was surprised to see such a young miko with this kind of power. Kagome turned to Inuyasha and said, "I love you."
Kagome smiled and closed her eyes. She used all of her miko power to finally purify the jewel. Her mother had told her that she was the only one that could do and that she knew it was true. All she remembered was hearing her mate yell at her before the world around her went black. Inuyasha picked her up and headed back to the castle.
Sesshoumaru and Miroku found Rin and Sango arguing with three cat demon. Miroku and Sesshoumaru each kill one while Sango killed the other two. Sesshoumaru turned to Rin and took her in his arms. He cold smell the tears and he could fill her pain. He then picked her up and took her to one of their hiding places.
"How are you feeling Sango?" Miroku asked
"I'm fine…how's Kagome? Wait where is she?" Sango answered.
"Inuyasha is with her…she has just purified the jewel." He replied
"But she was so weak." Sango said.
"Don't worry…I'm sure she's fine…come on let's go and get the demon house builders." Miroku said.
"O.K. but keep your hands to your self." She hissed.
Kagome was in a dark sleep, Inuyasha was worried…her heart beat was too slow and her breathing was weak. 'Pleas Kagome…don's leave me.' he thought sadly. Kagome was walking around hell knows where. She thought she was in hell. That's when she noticed a cave with weird sounds. She walked in ad saw a beautiful and strong miko fighting against a lot of demon. Kagome yelled out, "Look out!" before helping her fight.
After having helped her defeat all of the demon the young miko turned to Kagome and smiled. Kagome smiled back before saying, "Why were you fighting alone. You could have died."
This caused the miko to smile before saying, "I am already dead child. I am the miko Midoriko whose soul was used to create the jewel."
"Where the hell am I?" Kagome asked, 'Please don't tell me I died.' she thought.
"You're in the board of the crossroad between this life and the next. Don't worry your not dead." Midoriko said.
"Then why am I here…I want to be with my Inuyasha." Kagome said sadly.
"I know…however your body is recovering and you can not return for if you do you will die." Midoriko told her
"What?!" Kagome yelled
"That and there is the matter of your whish for purifying the jewel." Midoriko added.
"No, my mother told me of its pass and I refuse to take such a risk. So I just want the damn thing purified." Kagome stated
"I'm sorry but if that is your answer the jewel will be hidden with in you and you will guard it with in each of your life times." Midoriko explained.
"Fine…I whish that Inuyasha and I to be full blooded demons but we will keep our hanyou forms and I will keep my miko power." Kagome said.
"Very well then…be safe and follow your heart." Midoriko said before disappearing.
Kagome was once again surround by darkness. She could feel her self grow in power and her soon to be mate's power grow as well. But she could see where she was going. That's when she decided to call Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was awake and talking with Miroku and Sango when out of no where he felt a surge of power before the world around him went black. The last thing he remembered hearing was Sango yelling out his name.
"Sango! We have to go and get Sesshoumaru and Rin." Miroku said as he took hold of her.
"Miroku look! There both glowing! Inuyasha….we have to get his body next to her." Sango said as she walked over to the passed out hanyou.
"Fine but then we will go and get Sesshoumaru." Miroku said as eh began to help Sango.
Sango and Miroku carried Inuyasha over to Kagome's body and laid him next to her carefully. After words they exited the room and ran through the halls in search of Sesshoumaru and Rin Inuyasha on the other hand was confused. 'Where the hell am I?' he asked himself.
"Your in the cross roads between this world and the next." A familiar voice answered
Inuyasha turned around and grew wide eyed, it was, "Kikiyo?" he asked.
