Chapter 38
The witches started sending spells firing at each other, each jumping out of the way to avoid the other's spells. Kagome called out to her girls and urged them to flee. She didn't want any of them injured in the blasts of firepower erupting from their hands. A couple of the girls wanted to assist but Kagome refused. This was her fight and her fight alone. As the women screamed out their attacks, one after the other, the air resonated with lightening and flame. To the casual observer it appeared as a long off thunderstorm, but it was a deadly war.
"AC CAM CAMMERRA!", screamed Kagome, sending off more firepower.
"ONICHERRA", cried out Adimara.
Adimara knew Kagome was weakened. And without Inuyasha, well, she was as good as dead, Adimara felt.
Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kouga sent attacks at the barrier as Naraku laughed. Yes, it may have been worthless, the men felt, but it was better than standing around doing nothing. Inuyasha's mind was on Kagome but his heart was on Naraku.
'This time there will be nothing left to revive of him, I swear!', thought Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!", called Kouga, "Maybe you should check on Kagome. We can handle this lowlife."
'No! I can't. I have to trust her. She can handle herself.', he thought, 'If I go after her she may think I don't believe in her.'
"Inuyasha?", queried Kouga.
"I will be the one to finish Naraku off, dammit!", Inuyasha commanded.
"Fool!", Kouga remarked, mostly to himself..
Back at the rock, Kagome was wearing down. She knew she had very little energy left. But, she also knew her family was counting on her. Especially, Inuyasha.
'Inuyasha ... I will not let you down!', she thought to herself.
Pulling up every last ounce of her strength, Kagome called forth the forces of the mystics,
"I, LADY LEILANI, FIRE SORCERESS OF THE MYSTICS, CALL ON THE POWERS OF THE ALL THE FIRE MYSTICS! AJOURANARI VALOURATI BOULICANA!"
As she spoke these words, Adimara stared in disgust and quickly sent off a powerful spell of her own,
"AURELLA BRISTANCA HOULICAMA!", Adimara screamed out as Kagome's blast hit her and destroyed her very fiber.
From the shore, Lily and the girls watched the fight and screamed in unison,
"MOTHHHHHEEEEEEERRRRR!"
Naraku's cocky smirk turned to shock as his barrier disappeared. As the barrier evaporated, Inuyasha screamed,
"ADAMANT ... BARRAGGGGGEEEEE!"
As adamant spears shattered Naraku's body, Kouga and Sesshoumaru finished him with their attacks,
"GORAISHI!", yelled Kouga
"MEIDOU!", shouted Sesshoumaru.
As Naraku's body exploded, Inuyasha thought to himself,
'Thank you, Kagome!'
As he turned and ran back to the rock as fast as he could.
Mashai and the pups searched all over the rock, looking for Kagome,
"Mother?" Mother?" "MOTHER?" the pups called out feverishly
"What happened to her?", wondered a couple of the girls together.
"I don't see any sign of her in the water.", said Mashai, returning after diving into the ocean to search for Lady Leilani.
"I'm pretty sure she fell, though.", said Izayoi.
Inuyasha arrived to find a group of worried pups,
"Where's your mother?", he asked, a note of worry in his voice.
The pups, tears in their eyes, just shook their heads in defeat,
"I think ...,", Mashai started, "I think my mother killed her."
Inuyasha's eyes widened and his expression turned wild.
'NO! This can't be happening. His Kagome was NOT dead.', he thought.
"KAGOME!", He screamed out, "KAGOMEEE!" "KAGOMEEEEE!"
