DISCLAIMER: Still don't own Inuyasha...:[
Well this is the SECOND to last chapter in my story! Please no flames for what you read there is gonna be a twist in the next chappy!
Growling was the only sound that could be heard in the courtyard of the malicious hanyou Naraku. Well, except for the screams of Kagome stating that Inuyasha shouldn't transform. "INUYASHA! PLEASE! DON'T TRANSFORM!" she sobbed. He was covered in his own blood. His bangs were matted with blood and were covering his eyes. Even though his eyes were covered the obvious signs of a youkai were seen on his features. Purple claw-like marks appeared on his cheeks along with his wrists. His claws grew longer and sharper as well as his fangs. And the growling. The horrible nightmarish growling was resounding off the walls.
Raising his head, he slightly turned his body. Kagome was running towards him. "NO KAGOME! DONT COME ANY CLOSER!" Inuyasha screamed in his thoughts as he tried to regain control. Tears streaming down her face Kagome came up to him "INUYASHAAA!" she yelled as she pretty much rammed into him while at the same time hugging him. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" he growled as he grabbed Kagomes arms so tight his claws dug deep into her pale flesh. "AAHH!" she squealed. He shoved her away from him growling even more. "KAGOME! GET AWAY BFROM HIM!" Sango screeched. "KAGOME!" Shippou yelled. Too late. Raising his razor sharp claws above his head, Inuyasha glared at Kagome. His red eyes with blue pupils were peering into her frightened doe eyes. "I-Inuyasha?" she whimpered out too scared to do anything. Bringing down his claws so fast they were a blur, he slashed Kagome. Five deep gashes appeared going from right below her throat to the top of her right leg. "KIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kagome let out a bloodcurdling scream. Blood pouring down her clawed up body, Kagome fell to the bloody ground.
"..." was all Kagomes friends could think as they all stared with wide eyes at Inuyasha's claws, dripping with Kagome's blood. At this point Shippou and Sango were crying, Miroku was still staring wide eyed at Kagome's life-less body, and Naraku who was laughing evilly.
"Foolish weaklings! You can't even seem to tell who is on your side or not!" Naraku laughed evilly as he sent his vines out. The vines wound their way around Kagome's shaking body. Her eyes wide open and lifeless. The bright color in her beautiful green eyes was replaced by a dull sheen. She looked dead, but she was still slightly alive. The extremely slow and shallow breaths were the only sign that she was still alive.
Inuyasha jumped towards Naraku but was instantly knocked backwards. His bloody claws lashed attacks at Naraku's vines. He actually was able to disintegrate most of the vines. Although, Naraku generated them back instantly. All of a sudden Inuyasha's bloody claws grabbed the side of his head and started to thrash around. "Get...out...of...my...HEAD!" he yelled as he finally got control back. All of his youkai features disappearing. No memory of what he had done was in his head. It was obvious at the confused look in his golden eyes. "HA! Hanyou, you seemed so confident that you will win, yet you can't even seem to remember what you did!" Naraku spat at him. Naraku then lifted Kagome's nearly dead body into the air. Wide honey gold eyes stared at the gruesome sight before him. "K-Kagome? KAGOMEEE! What did you do to her you bastard?" Inuyasha growled at him.
"Me?" Naraku said sarcastically, "I didn't do anything to her Inuyasha. You did."
Memories flooded back into his mind. Blood. So much blood. Kagome's blood. KAGOME! His bangs went over his eyes, but you could almost tell he was about to cry, but by nature, he held them back and just glared at Naraku."Since you won't attack me, I guess I'll have to play a little game with you." Naraku said mockingly. "What sick joke are you trying to pull now?" Inuyasha growled out. "Well, you can either save Kagome or you cou-" he was cut off as Inuyasha yelled, "OF COURSE I CHOOSE TO SAVE KAGOME! WHY WOULDN'T I?" "Now, now. Let me finish. You could save Kagome or you could save that other wench you love so much, Kikyo." He said with an evil smirk on his pale face as he pulled Kikyo out of his tangle of disgusting vines.
Again, utter silence filled the courtyard. Shock was on the group's faces. Sadly, Kagome looked even worse being held up in the air, blood literally streaming to the ground. Kikyo, on the other hand, was wide awake crying. "Inuyasha! Save me! She is going to die anyway! You have to pick me! You loved me first! You love me more! She's just a pathetic copy of me!" she screeched while sobbing.
Inuyasha knew who he was going to pick. He felt total guilt for his decision. If he chose one, the other would die. That's it. My choice has been made. He dashed over to Tessaiga. It transformed in his hand. Running so fast he couldn't be seen, he sliced off one of the tentacles holding one of the women.
"TRAITOR! TRAITOR!" Kikyo screamed out as the life was squeezed out of her clay body. Kagome was in Inuyasha's arms still bleeding ever so slightly and still deathly pale. Her eyes made her look dead since they were dull and wide open. Again, her shallow breath was the only sign of her living, even shallower and slower than before.
Inuyasha instantly attacked Naraku. "WINDSCAR! ADAMANT BARRAGE!" he yelled unleashing two attacks at once. Both hitting the surprised Naraku point blank. Attacks were being fired everywhere. It was Inuyasha then Naraku. Then it was Sango and Kirara with Hirikotsu. Then it was back to Naraku. Miroku and Shippou kept the vines away from the others. All of a sudden, Naraku formed a black orb of powerful energy and shot it like a beam straight at Inuyasha. "BACKLASH WAVE!" Inuyasha said swinging his sword down with one hand. The attack was instantly shot back at Naraku in four tornado looking columns of black energy mixed with the energy from Inuyasha's own attack. It hurtled towards an unsuspecting Naraku and hit him right where the rest of the jewel was. Right where his heart was supposed to be. Naraku's cold eyes were wide open and glaring at Inuyasha. "GAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGHHHHHHHHH!" was the last sound you could hear from the evil Hanyou who started this whole mess. The only thing left was the other half of the Shikon No Tama.
The hanyou with the bloody claws, robe, and matted hair fell to one knee sobbing. Kagome had finally come to...but only barely. "I-Inu-Inu-ya-sha...I-I...l-l-love y-y-you...a-and I-I -f-forgive y-yo-you..." Kagome said with her last breath as her eyes finally closed and her breathing stopped altogether. Wide, shocked, and pain filled honey golden eyes stared at the limp body of the beautiful Hanyou. The hanyou with midnight blue hair along with neon green highlights, beautiful Inu-youkai markings, and the silky tail and adorable ears. "KAGOMEEEEEEEE!" Inuyasha sobbed and yelled with so much emotion everyone in the group started sobbing as well...they knew that their dear miko hanyou had left the world of the living.
The epic battle was over, the jewel was complete, and the world's kindest, most beautiful miko hanyou was dead.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: So sad right? I really didn't want to kill Kagome but it kinda fit i with the story. In my eyes this was a story about how much Kagome loved Inuyasha. She loved him so much she risked her life to try and help him, actually getting killed in the process...My FAVE part about this chappy is that I got to kill Kikyo lol well on ONE more chappy left. I wrote this entire story a couple weeks ago and had to type it up to put it on here. Did EVERY SINGLE chappy EXCEPT for the last one...lol I need ideas...I know! I'll ask my friends! ROFL...Why'd I just ell you that? Well anyway Happy New Year! ~~AnimeFreak134
