Kouga wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He stood weakly and shook the dirt out of his fur. 'D-damn kid.. Why can't I beat him?' He glanced around, finding Ayame in the same position as him, Ginta and Hakkaku continuously fighting with the weak youkai along side the Monk and Taijiya, the masses never seeming to end. He hated this, he hated to fight. But it was necessary. They needed to fight for their freedom.
'I ain't giving up until I die.' Kouga mentally promised, crouching into a battle stance once again.
"Still foolish enough to fight me Kouga? You really aren't that intelligent." Hakudoushi sighed, floating in midair with a powerful circular barrier for protection.
Ayama howled, "You brat! Don't you dare say anything more about my Kouga!"
Hakudoushi laughed, gripping his newfound weapon tightly. It was a very nice spear that was obviously meant for a taller warrior since it was much taller than him. He dived down towards the wolf prince, ready to finally tear him to pieces and yet he was denied his wish. His barrier had flickered when an enormous amount of power had come from his side and pushed him away from the wolf. He narrowed his eyes and stopped himself before colliding with a tent, glaring at the figure that walked slowly towards the battlegrounds.
"Wolf, order a portion of your men to pull back to aid Kagura. The oni is proving to be too difficult for her to handle alone. You will also be aiding her as well as your mate."
Kouga blinked, gaping at the youkai. "Sess-Sesshoumaru?" 'I haven't seen him in over five hundred years.'
"It's Sesshoumaru-sama you bumbling fool! Now stand aside and do as he tells you before he decides to be rid of you and your mate!" Jaken squabbled annoyingly at the prince.
Kouga narrowed his eyes, "Shut your mouth you one-foot-nothing toad!"
Hakudoushi grinned, "So this is the almighty Sesshoumaru-sama? Finally, a real battle." He stood and ran at the dog demon lord.
.:.:.:.With Kagura .:.:.:.
Kagura coughed up blood, gasping for air from her crater. Goshinki had dodged almost every attack she sent at him with no effort whatsoever. 'This is hopeless, I don't know if I can do this..'
"Kagura, are you giving up? Of course you are, you are thinking this is hopeless, that you don't think you can handle this." Goshinki laughed, "You are pathetic, Kagura."
'This thing can read minds, including my own.. How do I defeat him?'
"How do you defeat me? There is nothing that can hurt me Kagura, not if I know about it before you do it." Goshinki continued to laugh.
"How about brute strength?" Kouga howled, kicking Goshinki in the gut.
Goshinki fell on his back roughly, causing a small quake.
The wolf prince yipped happily, "Ha! I still got it! You aren't so tough!"
Ayame panted from running, realizing that the chosen wolves to help them out were a bit behind. "Slow pokes." She mumbled, trudging over to Kagura to check her health.
Goshinki sat up, then stood glaring at the wolf prince, "Another interference?"
Kouga grinned, "Yeah! So bring it on tough guy."
"Pathetic whelp!"
.:.:.:. With Kagome and Inuyasha .:.:.:.
Inuyasha and Kagome now worked together against the Ring Master. Inuyasha had begun to use his Backlash Wave technique as soon as Naraku began to use energy blasts, surprising him greatly. Kagome had also gotten in a few blows in with Teruyuki's help, her demonic features slowly disappearing.
Inuyasha dug his feet into the dirt as he was pushed back, using his Tetsusaiga to block Naraku's attack. He slashed at the youkai just as he leapt away, but soon followed after him.
Kagome held her sword upwards with her eyes closed, "Descends from the heavens of ice and snow Teruyuki!" She shouted also leaping upwards towards Naraku, Inuyasha bounding out from harms way as she swiped. Whirlwinds of snowflakes engulfed Naraku, freezing his lower body from his position in the sky all the way to the ground.
Kagome landed softly on the ground turning back towards Naraku. 'Damn I still need a bit of practice..'
The Ring Master growled, throwing another purple energy blast at Kagome. The hanyou had intercepted it however before it could reach her.
"Backlash Wave!" Inuyasha barked, sending the whirlwind back at Naraku.
He had avoided it with difficulty, since it took a large portion of his energy and time to release himself from the frozen grasp that was Kagome's attack. Unfortunately for him, he did not avoid the next course of action.
"This is where it all end for you." Inuyasha sneered in midair.
.:.:.:. With Sesshoumaru .:.:.:.
"It would be a waste to use my Tokijin on the likes of you. However since I lack the time for child's play, you should feel honoured to die at the hands of my sword." Sesshoumaru spoke dully, his blade pulsing with demonic energy.
Hakudoushi snorted, "You think very highly of yourself Sesshoumaru-sama. Don't let my size fool you, I am much stronger than you think."
"We shall see." He held out his blade, "Souryuha." The weapon glowed blue, sparks emitting from it before the energy attack struck Hakudoushi.
The boy narrowed his eyes as his barrier cracked. He soon moved out of the way of the attack since his barrier had by then completely fallen. 'Damn that dog..' He slid in the dirt, about to move towards Sesshoumaru until he noticed that the ground below him was glowing blue. The last thing he saw was Sesshoumaru staring at him with his sword dug deep within the ground before he was engulfed in a blinding light.
The demon lord withdrew his blade, watching the electric dragon devour Hakudoushi. He said nothing and walked away, not bothering to help the Taijiya or Monk with such minor youkai.
"W-wait for me my lord!" Jaken blurted, stumbling after Sesshoumaru as the electric dragon shrieked before dispersing.
.:.:.:. With Kagura .:.:.:.
The wind youkai stood weakly thanks to Ayame, opening her fan. "This battle isn't over yet." She coughed up more blood, and wiped it away.
"No, let Kouga and his tribe defeat the oni. You're too weak right now." Ayame tried to reason with her.
"Out of my way, wolfling." Kagura spat, shoving Ayame aside. She plucked a feather from her hair and threw it, leaping up and sitting on the floating feather.
Kouga laughed as the ogre missed him yet again and punched it in the jaw. 'Stupid, you are too predictable.'
Goshinki growled, 'This wolf does not think of his attacks and desires in the thought of killing me.'
Kouga's men merely stayed back as their leader took on the enormous youkai. Kouga must have been feeling a lot better about himself since he could easily kill this oni compared to the brat.
"Dance of Blades!" Kagura shrieked, her blades actually doing some damage on the oni. He didn't avoid the blows for once, which cost him in the end, his life. Her blades had cut off his right forearm and dug deep within his torso.
Kouga had landed the final blow, using his claws to tear at the gash from the blade, piercing the purple flesh into two pieces.
He landed behind the oni, sticking out his tongue in disgust at his bloodied hands, "I reek of blood and flesh now." He shriveled up his nose but grinned none the less at his victory and the cheers of his pack.
.:.:.:. With Inuyasha .:.:.:.
"This is where it all end for you." Inuyasha sneered in midair.
Naraku snorted, "I highly doubt this, half breed. You no longer have any attacks that will harm my form. I've seen them all and they all lack the power to defeat me."
His blade pulsed, adamants forming, "No, you haven't quite scene all my attacks." His demonic aura flared around him, as did the glow of the fang of destruction. "Adamant Barrage!" He heaved his fang over his shoulder, large portions of adamants breaking off and flying at Naraku, tearing through his body with ease.
Naraku shouted painfully, his severed hand reaching for a clump of flesh that glowed with the Shikon Jewels power.
"Not so fast, baka." Kagome smirked from her position on the ground, digging her blade further into the dirt. "Teruyuki!" She shouted.
The ground bellow the youkai in midair glowed pink. There was a column of light that appeared as well as an enormous snow leopard form that came through the ground and devoured Naraku in its form and light. Naraku continued to painfully reach for the purifying jewel, however he failed since Kagome's form got to it first. 'N-no, th-that wretched girl…'
The teenaged girl had been given the black cloak and had dived into the light momentarily, grasping the Shikon from the charring flesh before landing safely outside of the light.
The Ring Masters shrieks filled the air until the light had dispersed, and nothing more remained of his form.
Kagome stared down at the jewel that now sat innocently in her hands. 'The Shikon no Tama.' She closed her hand and stood up. She trudged over to her sword and removed it from the ground, sheathing it.
'Thank you for saving me, Kagome.'
Kagome blinked, "Um, Teruyuki? Is there something you aren't telling me?"
'What? You honestly think I could sound that feminine Kagome? How shameful.'
"If it isn't you talking to me, then who—"
'I am Midoriko, the priestess trapped inside the Shikon.'
"Oh great, now I have two voices in my head." Kagome sighed.
The hanyou had stared in disbelief at the dispersing light. Nothing was left, not a thing. He was gone, that bastard was finally gone. He was free now. He turned to Kagome, his heart filling with an unbelievable amount of happiness for the girl. He frowned though when he saw her lips moving. 'Is she talking to herself?' "Kagome? Who are you talking to?" Inuyasha had leapt towards her after sheathing his weapon.
'We will discuss this matter later.'
Kagome blinked, "Heh, it doesn't matter! We beat Naraku!" She smiled, embracing him tightly.
He nodded and nuzzled her neck, holding her form tightly, "Yeah, we beat that idiot." 'We'll talk later.'
She looked up at him, "This means you don't have to wear my locket anymore. You can take it off now if you like." She moved her hand towards it, grasping it.
He placed his hand over hers, "Wench, I wouldn't take this off even if I was going to get paid a million bucks." He grinned at her blushing face, "You gave it to me, and I owe you so much for this.. for everything." He kissed her forehead, "You are my savior Kagome, my angel." He mentally cheered as her face burned even more when he kissed her cheek. "And.." He continued, lowering his face to her lips, "Would you do me the honour of becoming my mate?" He asked almost in a whisper, his lips millimeters from hers.
"Y-yes." She mumbled back before his lips had crashed down onto hers in a passionate kiss. He had wrapped his arms around her form and brought her closer, deepening the kiss.
'Mine.' Inuyasha thought.

A/N It's short, but I wanted to post this up ASAP. And now, -drum role- the long awaited preview for the new story, Forest of Purity.
Forest of Purity
Chapter 1 Preview. The Spell
The cooling breeze stirred the leaves of the enormous trees, the foliage rustling against each other noisily. It was peaceful in the forest, birds singing a lovely tune, brown rabbits leaping in the tall mounds of grass in search of food. Their ears had perked at an on coming sound of a foot landing on a branch and pressing on it to bounce off. They had dashed away for cover, not wanting to be caught by the predator.
He breathed in deeply, clenching his teeth together and gritting them. He clutched onto his bleeding arm to stop the blood flow, squeezing his eyes shut for a moment due to the pain in his limb before opening them again. His foot had touched yet another branch and he leapt upwards, just barely dodging an arrow. His white appendages on his head had twitched backwards at the sound of a yelling voice.
"Inuyasha!"
The hanyou growled, focusing his golden orbs ahead, leaping once more. 'Damn it.. I don't know how long I can do this..' He hissed when another arrow had struck him, but in his leg. He stopped briefly, only to pull the arrow out of his wound and throw it away. 'Damn her..' He growled, leaping again into another tree. 'Damn you, Kikyo.'
The woman chuckled darkly, following closely behind the hanyou. "Soon, you will meet your fate, half breed."
Inuyasha's eyes widened, 'Shit!' There was a field dividing him from another section of the forest. A very wide field. He cursed under his breath and leapt out of the safety of the trees into the field, his baggy red haorie almost falling off his shoulders. 'Shit shit shit!' He made for another leap, but failed.
Another arrow had pierced his side, causing him to cough up a crimson liquid from his lips. 'N-no..' He fell to his knees, grabbing the arrow from his side and throwing it away. 'I c-can't die like this.'
"You were destined to die, Inuyasha." Kikyo walked out from the darkness of the forest, readying another arrow.
'No I wasn't..' "Fuck off." He managed to bark out before using the last of his energy for a final leap. He had landed on the outskirt of the forest before his eyes began to get foggy.
"Die…" He had heard her say, hearing the twang of the string from her bow.
'No..' Inuyasha clenched his eyes shut, but felt no more pain than what was already inflicted upon him. He had turned briefly and gaped at what he saw. There was a barrier around him. More specifically, around the entire forest area he had just leaped into. "Wh-what the.."
Kikyo blinked, "What's this? A barrier?" She laughed, "You were lucky, half breed. Unfortunately for you however, I am able to break any form of barrier with my spiritual powers. Your death will not be postponed." She pulled her bowstring back and shot another arrow, the object glowing a bright pink before hitting the barrier.
He had completely collapsed into the soft green grass. Inuyasha only watched, not able to move his body anymore. The last thing he remembered was seeing her surprised look and a barrage of arrows shoot back at her.
A woman wearing a white and green priestess uniform emerged from the shadows of the forest behind the barrier, readying her bow once more.
Kikyo gasped and formed her own barrier, the wall shortly falling after the first round of arrows, too weak to stay up. 'Who has the power to do such a thing?' She narrowed her eyes at the figure approaching the barrier.
"Who dares attempt to interrupt the peace within these walls?" The voice questioned strongly. Her brown orbs glittering in anger.
Kikyo snorted, "My name is Kikyo, I am a priestess of the village near these forests." She growled, 'This is the first time I encounter this woman and yet she seems vaguely familiar to me.'
"Kikyo you say?" The girl frowned, "You are unwelcome here. This forest rejects you as do I. Leave at once."
Kikyo bit the inside of her cheek to keep from shouting, "I only ask that in return you give me the hanyou. It is my duty to rid him from this earth."
"No, this creature is to stay with me." She replied.
"Give me the half breed, girl."
"My name is Higurashi Kagome. I am the protector of the Forest of Purity and all that resides within it. You Kikyo, under no circumstances, may trespass here again to retrieve this boy. If ever you do, you will suffer the consequences." Kagome bit out.
Kikyo smirked, "Ah, so it is you, Kagome. I was never aware of the location of the Forest of Purity, but now that I do… Be warned, for I will return to retrieve him without fail." With that said, she had turned her back and left the scene.
Kagome huffed and lowered her bow, placing the arrow back into its quiver. She walked over to the silver haired man and moved him to get a better look. 'Im-impossible!' She gasped, 'In-Inuyasha!' She furrowed her brows, 'But I clearly remember watching him fall into here at a much older age than this!' She wrapped the small boy in the red haorie and grabbed the hakamas and sword from the grass.
'He's only a boy that looks no older than the human age of five.' She walked back into the depths of her forest.
'What happened to him?'
