Words can't describe how terribly sorry I am that it took me almost half a year to update this story, and this apology goes out to all my dedicated readers that lost faith in me and a great big thank you to all of you that return to read and review it. I don't deserve it. My only excuse for my absence and negligence is that my father remarried and it's been a really tough time for me here. That's it, and I know it's not a good one. My sincerest apologies to all of you. Oh, and I'm just wondering… What happened to Inuyasha fanfics? They've gone down the toilet. Is the series not so big anymore?
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha & crew or "duck and run" by 3 doors down. I also don't claim Patrick and Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You.
Duck & Run
The Final Awakening
She stared around at the others, more and more flashbacks flooding her mind as the moments passed by her. She took in a deep breath and sunk her head into her hands, "I have a feeling that's why all my family has been dying. Maybe something to do with my real family, or what should be my real family, being back in Japan." Her heart began to race and she and she suddenly stood up quickly, feeling a desperate need to go see her brother.
"Souta…" She turned quickly on her heels and shot up the stairs to his new room, flinging the door open to see Rin playing video games and Souta no where to be found. Her hands gripped the door frame shakily and she tried to catch her breath slowly without much success. Finally she walked quickly over to Rin and knelt beside her, taking the little girls hands into her own, "Rin… Where has Souta gone? Please tell me, he's my little brother!"
The little girl's face turned to look up quietly into the young woman's face, her small dark eyes sparkling oddly, "Another little boy came and took him away." Kagome felt a cold hand grip at her heart, felt the second to last string slowly start breaking as she remembered the scary little boy who had been after Souta once before.
With hands shaking she said in a dead calm, "Thank you Rin, I know where he will be." She stood up and saw Inuyasha and Sesshomaru standing in the doorway, confused. She walked passed them and began down the stairs, but paused and turned her head sideways and over her shoulder without looking at them to speak, "Get everyone together; Sango, Miroku, Rin, Kaede, Shippo, Sesshomaru, Sango's cat, Kikyo and Kouga and his henchmen even if you have to gag and bind them. Bring Kat, Patrick, and Logan as well if you wish. Naraku will already be there, with Kohaku and Kagura, and of course you will come as well Inuyasha. We're going to the old well house in the woods, so be quick about it."
Ebony hair silently flew back into place on her back as she stuffed her feet into her converse and checked to make sure the two leather strings rested easily against her chest. She stepped outside quickly to see that many of those she had just named were waiting solemnly in front of the house.
The old woman stepped forward silently before bowing her head towards Kagome, "I felt a shift in the earth, and followed it here. The time has come for us to return." Her old voice paused only a moment to look into Kagome's questioning eyes, and she rested an old gnarled hand upon the girl's small youthful ones, "Be at ease, young one. Your friends Kat and Patrick went to fetch Kouga and his pack; Sango and Miroku went to get Kikyo. We will wait a while here for them." She held up her hand to silence Kagome when she began to argue, "I know, Lady Kagome. You must go now, on your own. I am sorry you have to face what you will soon, but we will be there in time. Do not worry."
Kagome's taught features screwed up slightly and she nodded, looking back at Inuyasha who was already beginning to advance towards her with a scowl on his face, "You need to let me go this time alone, Inuyasha. I will be fine. We will be fine." He continued towards her and grabbed her hands in his, looking deeply into her eyes as if to say he refused to let her go alone. She let go of them and took a hesitant step back, and with eyes full of regret she whispered quietly, "Sit."
And with that she had turned around and was now running quickly away from the house towards the old well she was sure to be back in the woods. Her heart seemed to guide her in the direction, even as it sunk further towards the dark abyss that those two weakened strings held it above. The last thing she heard before she disappeared from sight was Inuyasha calling her name in pain and betrayal.
Her feet covered ground quicker than she imagined and she dug her fingernails into her palms in her determination. Slowly her mind flashed back to the last thing she had envisioned, a picture of Souta being captured by Kohaku and taken towards the old well in the woods. Something had told her sadly, that she needed to lose him as well before everything could be righted. Still, she could not sit by idly as her only family left died miserably, without his older sister there by his side trying to save him.
Soon her feet were faltering, the nearer she grew to the well. And even sooner than that she found herself stumbling out into an opening in the woods, her midnight blue eyes snapping up to feast upon the scene before her. There Naraku stood, holding her brother's helpless body in his arms with a sneer. Beside him was Kagura with a look of dread upon her face, almost apologetic; and Kohaku, who seemed to be battling some inner war.
Small feet stepped heavily closer, and her hands stretched out towards her brother as she let a few rogue tears fall, "Let him go. He's only a boy, and he's my brother. He had nothing to do with this all, and you know that! Why are you taking this entirely out on me?" Her own words bullied her on, even closer to her brother's captor. To her relief she saw his chest rise and fall slowly, alerting her that he was only unconscious. For now.
A wicked grin spread across Naraku's face and he leaned forward to look at her levelly, "Because you are my greatest rival in our own universe and era. You are the one with the powers, but of course right now you are too untrained to discover them and harness them fully. I have to say, I was impressed by your show of power with your stepfather. And how you somehow started to figure all it out on your own." He walked slowly around her, in a circle, clutching the little boy harshly. His claws dug into the soft shoulders of the boy, feeling his miasma slowly release.
Her jaw stuck out defiantly, "I will kill you. You know that, right?" Cold dark blue eyes watched him closely as her breath pulled in on an unsteady note, "There is no way you could have gotten away with all of this. If I am such a threat, why haven't you killed me yet?"
A sharp, but frustrated laugh came through his throat, "Because I was weakening you, my dear. Humans are such frail creatures when it comes to taking away their loved ones. First I snipped your fathers thread to your heart, then soon all of your friends, your mother, now your brother, and soon the strongest one holding it all together. It's been dormant for quite a while now, a quiet whisper to your heart to soothe you and keep you going until you met him. You dear Inuyasha's thread will be the last snip I have to make to break you. Then maybe I'll kill you, or use you. Depends on my mood, you see."
Suddenly it made more sense to her, and she knew what she had to do. Her hands shook and she quickly reached out to grab her brother's body from him. But as soon as his body was in her arms, she heard him let out a piercing scream. Her eyes looked frantically up at Naraku who was grinning wickedly. Sitting down and pulling her dear brother into her lap, she screamed harshly out at him, "Why? Why are you doing this to him? To all of them? Why not just me!?" Her body curled in to shield her brother from some invisible force.
Hungry eyes rested upon her as he grinned again, "You are such a beautiful creature, Kagome. All heart in your cold world, beauty beneath scars self inflicted and not. But it is time you learned you lesson, and if all of this is what it takes, then I will gladly teach it. Your soul is no longer your own, you understand that? Right now your brother dies from my miasma, and soon Inuyasha will meet a fate similar if not horrifically worse. Then you will really be mine. Oh yes, and Kikyo's. She holds some things very dear to you as well. Inuyasha's heart, half your soul, your looks, and did I mention she owns half your soul and powers?"
Her breath pulled in on rasping edges, trying to control the sobs that were on the verge of escaping her parched throat. Dark brown eyes looked up at her from her brother's pale face, and he smiled slightly, "It's ok Sis. I know you will pull through, and we'll see each other again soon. You were meant for a lot better than this. I love you."
Naraku cackled as he watched his soon-to-be new pet crouch lower to hear her brother's last words. What he didn't notice was Souta handing her yet another leather piece, and her pressing her lips against his fevered forehead and pretending to hug him while she attached the necklace to her neck and said quietly, "I love you too, little brother. I will get you back."
The clearing gained a momentary stillness before all of the gang showed up, in pairs. They watched in agony as Kagome held her brother in her arms and he finally passed on. But none of them were expecting the sudden scream from her as she gripped her brother's body, a purplish light emitting from the three leather necklaces as they combined. A flash through the clearing blinded them all momentarily.
And suddenly they were all standing in a similar clearing, wearing the same clothes they had been wearing in their dream-memories. Kagome now stood in the center, her hair whipping about violently across her lips. Cherry blossom trees surrounded them all, their petals floating around, except for the occasional green leaf blowing from a great ancient tree. Without a word Inuyasha slowly approached Kagome and stood by her side, remembering all that ever was between them. He gripped her hand in his own and said lightly, "This is where we weaken and kill Naraku for good. I will not lose you to him."
Kikyo silently made her way beside her younger sister, who at the same time looked far older then herself. She spoke solemnly, "Even if I am still bitter at Inuyasha, it was not his fault. I will fight Naraku alongside all of you."
Sango and Miroku nodded and both prepared themselves with their weapons, alongside Kilala. Patrick and Kat were even there, both in odd warriors clothes and they both smiled easily to each other, a smile of love as they said quietly, "We were and are of this time and universe as well. We will fight alongside all of you." Logan stood by their side with loose fitting clothes and a few daggers at the ready, his lion's ears laid back in his ferocity and fangs gleaming in anticipation.
The last to offer their help were the wolf tribe with Kouga, and then of course Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru's lighter golden eyes took in the scene coolly and he nodded silently before readying himself as well. All of them formed a semi-circle around Inuyasha and Kagome who stood at the forefront of their group.
Kagome's eyes took in all of them solemnly and brought out her bow and arrow, notched it and slowly said, "Shippo and Rin, find cover." As she watched the two children run off to hide she turned her fierce gaze upon Naraku and his minions as they began to build. Only momentarily did her eyes rest upon Kohaku's emotionless gaze and Kagura's guilt-ridden one. Her eyes fell upon Naraku once more, and her voice slipped past her lips in a frighteningly smooth fashion, "Today is the end of you."
With that said she released her first arrow which grazed his cheek, and the fighting began. Thousands of demons of low and high status threw themselves at the small group of brave warriors. Inuyasha and Kagome were at the center of the fighting, back to back as they stabbed and shot down any attempts to injure them. Inuyasha's tetsaiga began to gain back its normal strength and began to take out many more demons. He panted, golden eyes angry and determined as he fought off the oncoming rampage of demons. All the time he kept one eye trained onto Kagome, to ensure her safety. But the more she fought, the stronger she seemed to grow, and the more prevalent her powers became.
Miroku and Sango were taking out as many demons as they could, but both were visibly growing more tired by the moment. Miroku looked down at his still covered up hand and then looked around at his group, watching as all of them struggled to keep the copious amounts of demons off of themselves and their partner. He glared once down at his hand and then yelled out in an overpowering voice, "Hold on everybody!" With that he unraveled the prayer beads around his hand and gave it one squeeze before thrusting it out before him to begin to suck the demons in. After a couple of hundred demons were sucked into his wind tunnel he began to lose control of it and cried out in agony, unable to close it up as Naraku sent out his poisonous hornets out.
Sango cried out and was immediately at his side, both trying in vain to get his hand to close and contain the wind tunnel. After a few terrifying moments they somehow got his wind tunnel contained and he collapsed to the ground, gripping his hand to his chest in pain. The rest of the group continued fighting off demons, and Sango placed herself over Miroku and fought from that position, trying to fight off the temptation to simply kneel and comfort him. But she knew if she did that, then both of them would be useless.
Even as the drama continued with Sango and Miroku, Kat and Patrick were fighting heroically not far away from them. The pair seemed to be the ultimate fighting team, using each other sometimes as bases to lift off and kill more demons. Halfway through the fight, when both saw that there wasn't going to be much of a let up in the flow of demons, they looked momentarily straight into the other's dark eyes. A solemn nod was exchanged between the two as they decided to put into action their last available weapon. Wild grins broke out onto their faces before they hooked their arms together at the elbows and went back to back.
Systematically they began to glow slightly, and then even more. As more and more demons dropped to the ground dead without ever coming close to the group, the more the pair began to strengthen. At last their hands linked together and Patrick said quietly to her, "If I don't see you in Kagome's and our time, know one thing. I love you more than a fat kid loves cake."
A harsh, but broken laugh came from Kat's lips and she squeezed his hands. The first and only tear she had ever spilt went quickly down from her cheek and onto the ground below, burning a large hole in the ground and causing a hundred or so demons to die again, "I love you too, you dork. And I WILL see you on the other side. Or else."
And at that both of them lifted slightly off the ground and then burst into blue flames, burning and killing almost every demon within half a mile, which was not all of the incoming demons. As their bodies started to go out, both seemed to skyrocket into the sky, disappearing in a flash of fire. There was a slight pause in the on slot of demons, and the few remaining to their group let out gasps.
Next would be Logan, who stepped out into the open and grinned wildly, "Well, if they're going to go out in a bang, literally… Then I must say I need to follow suit. Farewell loverly friends. See you all in the other era." With that he grabbed a hold of a wooden staff he had also been carrying, slamming it into the group a few times. He hunched only momentarily before killing all but three hundred of Naraku's follower demons. And after that, there was nothing of him left but the hat that he never took off.
Now the only ones left in the group and able to fight were Kouga and his pack, who were quickly diminishing only to leave Kouga and his two closest pack mates; Sesshomaru and his servant Jaken; Kaede and Kikyo who were both beginning to dim in their spiritual powers; Sango who was weakening visibly and watching loyally over Miroku; and lastly Inuyasha and Kagome who seemed to be keeping up the best among the whole group.
Naraku glared over the battle field from his vantage point, not willing to accept that soon he would have to face them himself. He could successfully guess that he would not have to deal with over half the group when it came his time to fight, but he could see the two or three that he would definitely have to deal with. The half demon and the priestess that he had underestimated only seemed to grow stronger and more determined as they fought, side by side as if they could not be beaten. Once the majority of his army was defeated, he would bring on the strongest of all his followers. Surely they would be able to weed out Sesshomaru and the demon slayer, or at least distract them while he killed Inuyasha and Kagome.
Kikyo could feel herself weakening, knowing that her spiritual powers would not hold up as long as they used to when she was alive. The incoming number of souls was dismal, due to most all of the evil demons who usually killed them being slaughtered at the moment. Right as she felt herself about to fall she called out quickly, "Kagome! Come to me, we must bind ourselves before it is too late!" She grabbed her sister's hand and ran over to the girl fighting beside Inuyasha, once her first love. She fought with herself not to look him in the eyes, but did so momentarily.
Golden eyes met cold gray-blue eyes, dull with death and exhaustion. He could see her slowly failing, knew she did now have much longer and for the moment he thought his heart could not handle it again. But then she reached out slowly and touched his cheek momentarily, causing a harsh look to come from Kagome's direction. She smiled gently, looking at the most peace she had since she'd inhabited her cold body, "What we had was only a fleeting first love, something that did not mean much. We were both starved for love then, and it was not real. But what you have with Kagome, that is real. Do not worry Inuyasha, I will be fine."
She watched his face until he nodded and relaxed a bit, and then turned to Kagome and took one of the girl's hands into her own. Kaede did the same, grabbing her elder sisters hand and the young reincarnation's hand. The three stood in a circle as the rest left of the entire group surrounded the three to protect them from incoming demons. A slow and easy hum came from within the three, their different powers combining and swirling and slowly filling within Kagome. Kaede was giving her fighting powers to Kagome, only withholding her healing powers so she could heal them after the fight. She had a feeling the girl would need it badly.
Kagome's head began to spin with all of the powers filling her, memories combining and fleeting quickly across her minds eye before disappearing once again. A few memories of Kikyo and Inuyasha together when they had first found one another crossed her path, and she had to swallow heavily so she could go on with the transfer. A small smile came across her face and she squeezed the two sister's hands, knowing that her inheriting her rightful powers from Kikyo would mean Kikyo passing on. But the other priestess didn't seem to mind it, and Kagome could feel her coming to terms with her death and Inuyasha. Soon she felt Kaede back out of their small circle and then it was only Kikyo and herself standing there, hands held tightly by the other.
Right before Kikyo finally passed on for the last time, her eyes opened and the two girls looked at one another. Kikyo merely smiled and said quietly, "Do not feel sorry for me, Kagome. Your heart is kind and knows no bounds, and you accept all others no matter what or who they are. You are not robbing me of anything, least alone my soul. Because in the end, my soul was only yours. You and I are completely different, except for the fact that you inherited my powers. Take good care of yourself." With that her body crumbled to ashes and floated away in the wind, a bright light flitting away across and into the horizon. Kikyo was dead, but there was nothing to mourn about her passing. She had given herself back to the death she truly deserved, and was now at peace with herself and everything that had happened in her life. There was nothing for anyone to regret, knowing that Kikyo had finally found solstice in knowing the girl carrying on her powers was truly meant to have them from the beginning.
Midnight blue eyes turned away from the soul slowly making its way away to the small group of people before her. Miroku was standing again by Sango's side, hand in hand with their love shining brilliantly between them. Kouga held himself proudly, his face stern and brave as it ever had been. The two brothers were standing side by side in silence, each with a completely different personality but also containing a slow, underlying love for the other. These were the bravest souls she could ever come across, the most loyal friends and family she could ever ask for.
It wasn't until then did she realize that she had never really belonged to her own era, but had truly belonged to this and the people living within it. It wasn't until then that she realized that Kat, Patrick, and Logan were just the same as herself, that they honestly belonged in this time with her and all these others. She loved and missed her blood family greatly, but these people were as good as them. They stood by her side no matter her choices and supported her in her times of need. No matter the era, place, or situation they were there by her side protecting her and loving her fully.
Now that she knew all of these things, she could feel her powers truly reigning into herself and looked out to those few left by her side and then to the few left to Naraku's side. There was an enemy for each of them, and within seconds she knew they would all be fighting to their deaths or that of their enemy. Before that happened she looked once more around the group and grabbed Inuyasha's hand, squeezing it once before setting her eyes on Naraku and notching an arrow to her bow.
Without another pause the battle let loose again, the fighting more dramatic than it had ever been before. Kagura and Kanna were paired up against Sesshomaru and Jaken, none of them gaining any ground in the fight. Sango was currently struggling to fight off Kohaku while actually fighting to kill Akago. Miroku stood beside her also trying to destroy Akago's brother Hakudoshi.
One of oddest pairs to ever side by side, Inuyasha and Kouga, were currently tag teaming to destroy three of Naraku's detachments. Juromaru and Kageromaru, the brothers that were detachments were aiding the most powerful of Naraku's followers, Byakuya. As they both fought side by side, they yelled at each other for small mistakes in calculation that caused one or both of them to get a wound. Neither noticed their love, Kagome, moving slowly toward Naraku in the middle of the battle field.
Her eyes locked and loaded on Naraku, as did his and they moved closer to one another in what seemed to be a force field. Everything around them continued, yet the noise of the battles did not reach their ears. Soon they were standing in front of the other, neither yet willing to fight but trying to size up the other. Naraku gave a sly grin and he took her rigid hand and gave a mock bow, "Your powers far exceed themselves, and I must admit you may be an admirable opponent. You might have even been able to defeat me if Inuyasha had teamed up with you. But as you see, I prepared for that instance and created Byakuya to distract him." He kissed her hand slowly, grinning to himself when he felt her tense up even more, "I actually might make you my wife, my partner in crime you might say, instead of a slave. Imagine the look Inuyasha will wear on his face! Oh, I might keep him alive if you do that for me. What do you say?"
"Ultimatums have always made my skin itch, Naraku. And are you only proposing this because you fear you will lose and do not even wish to fight me?" She bit her lip slightly and leaned forward, holding her breath against his stench before she whispered in her ear, "Or is it because your human heart, Onigumo, craves me? Does it hurt to fight that feeling back down? Don't worry; I will put it to rest for good." And with that she stepped away from him quickly and drew out some of her power into her hands, smiling easily.
Naraku let out a furious yell of frustration and charged at her, grabbing her by her slim little neck. The feeling only gave him gratification for a few moments until he felt her hands thrust forward and into his chest, burning towards his center. He threw her violently away from himself and panted, swiping the blood oozing at his chest away before advancing once again upon her. He could tell that her powers were too overwhelming for her, and that the little show of control she had just made had cost her dearly.
His steps faltered and he jerked her up by her hair, gaining a small scream from her plush lips. Golden and blue eyes flashed from their battle to look in panic at Kagome, her small body struggling helplessly against Naraku's hold. Inuyasha yelled out fervently, trying to go through the barrier to get at them, "KAGOME! KAGOME!" He yelled furiously, slicing at the barrier to no avail. All the time Kouga was standing and guarding his back from the three who relentlessly continued to beat at him.
Finally Kouga gave Inuyasha a jab in the back, growling out at him, "We cannot do anything right now for her except to fight off these others so we can weaken his will power! I can't do it on my own dog breath!" He gave a gruff grunt as one of them slammed into him and sent him toppling to the side and onto the ground, fighting for his life.
The other two came hurling at Inuyasha and he turned to face them, taking Tetsaiga out on them violently. His demon form seemed to seep into his skin even as he held his sword, and within seconds he was ripping all of his opponents to pieces. His next move was he ran over to Miroku and Sango, who were beginning to falter in their fighting and were pale and shaking. After a while the only ones left were Kagura and Kanna, who did not seem to be fighting to kill, but merely to protect against Sesshomaru.
All the while Kagome was dangling in Naraku's reach, her breath coming in quiet pulls against the miasma sinking into her skin. And before she knew it she felt one of his clawed hands stab into her gut and she gave out a piercing scream, grabbing a hold of his arm and jerking wildly to try and remove it. And that was when time stood still for all on the battlefield.
The dismal group turned and watched in horror as Kagome's body began to grow limp and Naraku cackled, wrenching his hand around inside of her trembling body. And then as soon as it had begun they were thrown right back into a slower motion and watched as Kagome's hands grabbed Naraku's arms with a death grip and a glowing light slowly began to creep up his arms. His face lit up in disgust and then in fright as he tried to shake her off, her power slowly enveloping him and purifying him even as he wrenched his arm out of her gut.
Moments passed before all of them were thrust back into normal time and Naraku let out a ghastly yell of agony and burst into a million flaming and disgusting pieces of rotten body. The whole world rocked momentarily and then he was gone, and Kagome fell limp to the ground. Another cry of anguish was voiced, this time by Inuyasha as he ran towards her and picked her up in his arms. His facial features slowly returned to normal and the blood thirst that had engulfed him only moments before was now gone and drained from his body.
His whole body contorted as he wrapped himself around her, shaking as he was wracked with heaving sobs. The whole group stood silently watching, none daring to go near and bother him in his agony. Kouga bit his lip and looked away, unable to make himself go through with his claim that she was his woman. Because now he knew that she wasn't, that she had always been Inuyasha's and that he could never himself feel the pain that seemed to be plaguing Inuyasha now.
Golden eyes searched her face frantically in a panic, his voice coming out in loud cracked yells, "Kagome please! Don't be so stupid, I told you not to do this to me again! Gods, please, you can't do this to me! I love her!" His grip on her frail body tightened and it began to rain, slow cool drops hit down first and then it increased to pelting down on them.
Now midnight blue eyes opened to the feeling of warm and cold water dropping down onto her pale face, and she wasn't entirely sure what was happening. She looked up to see Inuyasha's face bent over her own, crying openly in a way that wrenched her heart and tore it apart. She frowned lightly and slowly tucked a piece of his wet hair behind his ear, "Why are you crying, love? We made it back, and the jewel is complete."
He looked down at her in horror and slowly brought the hand that had been stopping the flow of blood from her stomach up. He saw her pale even further when she saw it, and her mouth formed in a round way as if she were saying, "Oh." He sucked in a few breaths and pressed his damp forehead against hers, "You can't die, and you are too gutsy for that. And after all we went through to get here!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just so tired. I love you, Inuyasha." Her last word faded slightly and she closed her eyes and went into a deep sleep she didn't think she could pull out of. Everything around her was bright and passionate, tempting her to move from the dark and into it. But something was still pulling her back slowly.
He felt her heart slowly flutter to a stop and he looked around at the other's struck faces, his own in a wild panic. He looked from one to another, all the while begging for their help in a broken and cracking voice. He watched as Kouga slowly moved towards him and then Sango and Miroku, all of them slowly pulling him away from her. From his love. He cried and struggled, yelling at the furiously while asking them plaintively why. The last thing he remembered before he slipped into a miserable abyss was watching his brother's face contort in pain and sympathy as he moved towards Kagome's broken body.
