Chapter 28- The End part 1
Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha all ran in to find Kagome on the floor with blood running down the side of her face. Kagome knew that she was longer alone but that didn't stop her. As she stood up to face Ken once more, Kagome heard Ken say, "Well, if it isn't your little protectors. How nice of you to drop by."
"Stay the fuck away from Kagome." Inuyasha growled as the wind scar slowly began to appear.
"Well, now I do believe she is the one that will not leave me be." Ken replied in a mocking tone as he avoided another one of Kagome's attacks.
"Kagome! You don't have to do this alone!" Sango called as she and Kirara tried to make their way over to her.
"I can handle this myself. Just stay back." Kagome hissed as she formed a ball of fire in her hands.
"How sweet, you wish to keep all of them safe, let's see if your new powers can do just that." Ken growled as he quickly stepped out of her line of sight straight for Shippo.
"No!" Kagome growled in anger as she used her new demon speed to reach her friends and son before he could.
Just as Ken was about to take hold of Shippo his body was wrapped in veins and wood as Kagome appeared in his line of vision. Just as he felt his body hit the wall, Ken heard Kagome's demonic voice growl out, "Stay away from them."
"Your fight is with me." Inuyasha growled as he easily unleashed the win scar on him.
Ken knew that he would not survive the blast and knew what he had to do; he had to somehow have one of his members join him in the blast in order to get the dragon miko to stop it. It was after all an attack based on air. Once he had found his way out, Ken grabbed Tsubaki and pulled her into the incoming blast. As he did this he growled out, "Will the guardian miko let the innocent die or will she save me in order to save the innocent?" in a mocking tone.
"Don't do it! Let me die!" Tsubaki cried as she tried to break free.
"Damn it." Inuyasha growled as he tried to think of a way to stop the attack.
Just as he was about to try to use the sheath of Tetsusiga, the Wind scar disappeared out of thin air as Kagome appeared behind Ken. Before Inuyasha could even get close to her, Kagome had already gotten Tsubaki a safe distance from Ken as she hissed out, "You would dare harm an innocent then to take the death you had like a man. You truly are blow Naraku. Naraku at least took his death like the part man he was. I wonder what that makes you?" as she began to push his buttons so that she would have the advantage over in the battle against him.
"Naraku…Naraku! You worthless bitch! HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO THAT LOW LIFE! I AM BEYOND Naraku!" Ken roared as he quickly took hold of Kagome by the neck.
"Kagome!" Sango and Miroku yelled as they continued to fight the countless demons that were keeping them from reaching their friends.
"Let…go…of her." Inuyasha growled before he quickly dropped the Tetsusiga to use his bare claws.
Before Kagome could even get herself free, she found herself in Inuyasha's arms as he growled out his warning to those who would try to harm her. Kagome looked up and met his blood red eyes. Inuyasha was in there somewhere trying to get control and she knew it. Once she had placed a barrier around them, Kagome kissed him on the lips and said, "Please, come back to me."
"Why…if he will….only allow….you to get…hurt." The pure demon blood stated as the struggled to get his words out.
"Not, if you two work together…please…let him out." Kagome whispered as she once again kissed him on the lips.
Unable to resist Kagome, the mate in his eyes, he allowed the hanyou control and lead him all of the power so that the two of them would be able to protect Kagome. Once Inuyasha was back to his normal state, Kagome wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "When I lower the barrier you have to get out of the way, he is going to try and reach for Shippo. Protect our son."
"Kagome…I won't let him hurt you or Shippo…just please, don't go in alone." Inuyasha growled as he held on to her tightly.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha…but I have to be the one to kill him. I'm the only one that can." Kagome whispered.
Before Inuyasha realized it he found himself running toward Shippo while Kagome turned to stop Ken's attack on her son. Once she had her dagger like weapons in hand, Kagome opened them and blocked Ken's swords from hitting her sons back. "Cheat shots were always Naraku's best, but I guess you can even do that."
"Worthless bitch!" Ken roared as easily pull Kagome into his arms and forced himself on her. Just as he was about to enter her mouth with his tongue, Kagome had stabbed him on the upped thigh with her closed weapon. Once he was off of her, Shippo pulled her out of the way while Inuyasha sent Ken flying across the room.
"You are going to regret that." Inuyasha growled as he quickly took hold of the Tetsusiga that had been offered to him by one of Kagome's veins.
"Oh, she did taste good, or did you not know how good she tasted?" Ken mocked as he quickly got up to whip the blood away from his lip.
"You bastard, you'll regret ever laying a hand on her." Inuyasha growled as he charged at Ken.
Kagome watched as Inuyasha was easily thrown back and pinned down by the demon she was fighting. She had no idea that was this strong and knew that he would be a challenge. Hell if he was able to trick them without the jewel he had already surpassed Naraku. She was brought back to reality when Kagome heard her son ask, "Are you alright Oka?"
"I'm fine…let me go….I have to help Inuyasha." Kagome hissed as she tried to get free.
"Sango! Damn you!" Miroku's enraged roar was heard as he easily purified the demons that had managed to knock Sango down to her knees in pain.
Kagome turned around to find her best friend on the floor with a terrible wound on her back. She was bleeding badly and if she was not tended to she could die of massive blood loss. Kagome quickly broke free from her son and ran toward her best friend. Once at her side, Kagome looked at Miroku and said, "Cover my back, I have heal her wounds before she bleeds to death."
"I'll help him Oka, you just help Sango." Shippo said as he pulled Miroku back to the battle.
"Sango…Sango please be ok." Miroku whispered as he let Shippo him back to the fight.
Once she was sure that they could handle themselves, Kagome divided her powers. While her miko powers worked on healing Sango, her dragon miko powers were helping Shippo and Miroku fight. 'You mustn't use them divided…they must be whole and work as one should you wish to kill Ken.' A small voice told her. "Sango, Sango just hang in there." Kagome whispered as she slowly began to do what the small voice had told her to do.
"Kagome…Please…help the others…I'm fine." Sango whispered before she passed out.
Once she had finished healing Sango's wounds, Kagome turned to the demon fill room and quickly did away with all of them. After making sure that it was just her, Miroku, Shippo, Sango, Inuyasha and Ken standing, Kagome turned to Ken and said, "How dare you do this? You will not leave and you will not get away with this."
"Oh, and what are you going to do? I now have your mate in…" Ken was never able to finish what he had began to say because of the powerful blow Inuyasha had given him. Once he was on the floor, Inuyasha landed in front of Kagome and said, "You have no right to see her."
"Inuyasha…this is my fight. So move." Kagome said as she easily moved Inuyasha so that she could walk forward to approach Ken. Once she felt that she was close enough, Kagome looked down at Ken and added, "You should have need been so obsessed with the jewel. The jewel no longer exists. If you truly want power than you will have to kill me."
"I was planning on forcing you to be my mate; however, I will not turn down the chance at power. I will end your life quickly." Ken growled as he stood up to his full length.
"Kagome!" both Shippo and Miroku yelled. But before they could even think about moving, Kagome had placed the two of them in a very powerful barrier that not even a regular human would be able to enter it.
"I'm sorry but this isn't the past, I am the only one that can kill him and I am the only one that has the power to end all of this." Kagome stated in a calm voice.
"If that is what you wish." Ken growled.
Kagome used the air in the room and quickly took hold of her weapons. Once they were in her hands, Kagome smiled and waited for him to make his move. Kagome was not in her purest form. Kagome no longer had a form of a human, miko, hanyou or demon but that of a mixture of all. Inuyasha turned to face her and lost all air in his lungs. Ken stared at Kagome and said, "Well than love, let's get this over with."
"I will never be any ones love." Kagome hissed in such a demonic voice so cold that it would have scared Sesshomaru.
Before Inuyasha could move he was held back by a group of veins that held him in place. He knew that he would have to make quick work of them before he would be able to go and help Kagome. He only hoped that he would be fast enough to get to her in time. Meanwhile Kagome blocked Ken's attack only to be punched in the stomach. Kagome quickly jumped back and threw her weapon at Ken.
Ken had managed to avoid it the first time only to have a deep cut on his back. Once he was stepping back, Kagome took a chance and made her move to take him by surprise. However she was soon surprised when he had predicted her moves and pinned her to the wall with his sword going straight through her stomach and into the wall. Kagome yelled out in pain as she used her blood to freeze the part of her stomach to make sure that she would stop the bleeding.
"Well now, what do I have here…I guess you will die and fail. Don't worry, I'll let your friends live…if they agree to become my slaves." Ken mocked as he grew closer to her.
"Uh…you idiot…do you honestly think that I will give up." Kagome hissed as she tried to get the sword out of her stomach.
"Ha, now, it's time that you die." Ken growled.
But just as he was about to bit into her neck, Inuyasha broke free and through himself at Ken. Kagome quickly used her power over air and pulled the sword out of her before she fell to her knees. She knew that she was going to pass out soon but she also knew that she couldn't until she killed Ken. However what she saw not only motive her to do so but gave her the strength that she need to fight through the pain in her stomach.
Inuyasha and Ken both landed on the floor with a loud thud. Once he was sure that he was down, Inuyasha quickly got up and tried to reach for his sword only to be lifted up into the air by Ken. As Ken's claws slowly dug into his neck, Ken also used his small knife and began to cut this throat. "You will never win. I will have the power I waited so long to have and you will die knowing that you failed the one woman you loved."
"Kagome." Inuyasha growled.
"He didn't fail anyone you son of a bitch." Kagome was heard as she began to form a ball filled with pure energy. "Now go to hell where you belong." Kagome hissed as she used a vein with air to carefully move Inuyasha out of the way before using the last of her strength to kill Ken.
Once she was sure that Ken was dead, Kagome slowly made her way to Inuyasha as her protective barriers around her friends and son slowly began to weaken. 'God Inuyasha…I'm so sorry…Please forgive me.' Kagome thought sadly as she used what little energy she had left to heal Inuyasha of all of his wounds and to make sure that the cut on his throat would not kill him.
"Kagome!" Miroku yelled.
"Oka! Oka!" Shippo roared as he slammed his hands on her barrier to reach his mother.
As soon as she hit the floor, Kagome was out cold. The dry, frozen blood that had kept her from bleeding out had disappeared and now she lay on the floor bleeding. Five minutes passed until her barrier gave way. While Shippo ran to the hospital with his mother in his arms, Sango and Miroku carried Inuyasha back to the car and drove him to the hospital. As Miroku sped down the streets of Tokyo, Sango turned to him and asked, "Do you think that she will make it?"
"For Inuyasha's sake, she better live." Miroku answered as he kept his eyes on the road.
