The meetings of a Miko and a Taiyoukai.
An: Another chappie, the final battle! Muhahahaha.
Kagome's eyes opened, her whole body freezing. Her eyes darted to the cold lord next to her. He would always sit close to her, she wondered many times what would happen after the fall of Naraku, if she survived would they still be friends? Would he let her die?
"Kagome." Sango came into her line of sight.
"I know, I feel it as well." They could all since it.
Naraku.
Kagome pushed the sleeping bag off and stood up, her bow and arrows now in her hand. Inuyasha jumped form the tree with Kikyo and pulled out his sword. Kagome glanced around for Sesshomaru.
"He is close."
Kagome nodded and felt her hairs on the back of her neck stand up. He was coming closer. Kagome closed her eyes, praying to whatever god that was listening, that they would all survive. Inuyasha drew his sword, they all saw the tentacles coming closer and closer to the clearing. They hit and invisible force and dissolved. Sesshomaru glanced over at Kagome, feeling her barrier.
"How long can you hold that Kagome?" Miroku questioned.
She grunted in response as she closed her eyes, concentrating harder as the assault of tentacles kept coming. Her eyes snapped open as Kagura's dance of the dragon collided with her barrier.
"I cant keep it up much longer." She ground out.
"Let it down." Sesshomaru drew Tokijin.
Kagome let the barrier fall, preparing for the assault for the last time. Sesshomaru stayed close to her. She looked at him, gold and blue meeting. Her hand gripped her bow tighter.
"Friends?" She questioned.
"Friends." He confirmed. She smiled.
Kagome looked back forward, and smiled at her friends. 'I love you all."
Sango and Miroku both smiled at her and Inuyasha nodded. They all looked forward, seeing more tentacles rushing for them.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha rushed forward, swinging his sword cutting the tentacles.
"Dance of the dragon!" Kagura swished her fan.
Kagome launched her arrow into the tornado making it disappear. A flash of silver rushed by her, she saw Sesshomaru running after Inuyasha, toward Naraku. Sango was dealing with Kohaku and Miroku with Kanna.
"Miko, do me a favor?" Kagome dodged the blades sent her way.
"What?" She notched another arrow.
Kagura dropped her fan. "Kill me." Tears dripped from the woman's red eyes.
Kagome lowed her bow. "What?"
"Kill me!" She screamed.
Kagome soon realized that the wind demoness had no real chance of surviving the final battle. Naraku controlled her heart, and when he died he would take it with him.
"I would rather die honorable by the hand of you, than him." More tears dripped from her eyes.
Kagome frowned, she didn't want to kill the woman. "Please."
Kagome nodded, bringing the arrow tight. "I hope you find peace Kagura." The said woman closed her eyes. Kagome charged the arrow with enough energy to kill her quickly.
"Thank you, im free." She mumbled as Kagome released the arrow.
It connected and immediately purified her painlessly. Her ashes caught the wind, and swept them away. Kagome lowed her bow and looked at the two up ahead of her. Naraku's gaze locked with hers, he snarled and sent his tentacles at her. Sesshomaru chopped them in half with his whip before they even got close to her.
"So, the almighty Sesshomaru protecting another human? How pathetic!" Many more Naraku's appeared from the forest. Kagome looked around.
"Which is the real one?"
Kagome notched an arrow and shot it at one of the Naraku's. It crumbled and turned to dust. She gasped when a tentacle grabbed her foot and launched her into a tree. She groaned as she made impact. Blood dripped from her mouth and she spit it out. She glanced at the scene before her. She knew what she had to do, to get Naraku, the real one to come out.
She kneeled at the base of the tree and flared her miko reiki. Sesshomaru stiffened and looked back at her. Blood adorned her face along dirt. Her arura pulsed rapidly, searching out. Her hand gripped her half of the jewel, and concentrated harder, trying to force the half Naraku had to show itself. Naraku knowing what was about to happen aimed all of his puppets tentacles at the girl. Sesshomaru snarled and threw tenseiga at her, it embedded into the tree and created a strong barrier around the woman. Kagome's eyes snapped open, glowing pink.
"The one to the right is the one with the jewel!" She screamed.
The puppets disappeared and Kagome stood up. Everyone was bleeding, bruised and hurt, with the exception of Sesshomaru. Naraku laughed, stepping forward.
"Very good, little Miko." He chuckled.
He sent his tentacles at the group, now larger than before. Lightning flashed in the sky and the wind picked up, blowing hard. Kagome shielded her eyes and gasped when a large tornado touched down in front of Naraku.
"What?" He screamed, his barrier falling.
"Now!" Inuyasha screamed.
Kagome notched her arrow and filled it with as much energy as possible. Sesshomaru drew the tensaiga once more. Inuyasha raised Tetsaiga. They all prepaired for the final attack.
"Bakuryuha!" Inuyasha swung Tetsaiga.
"Meido Zangetsuha" Sesshomaru closed his eyes and swung tenseiga
Kagome released her arrow, it glowed bright pink. Sesshomaru watched as it flew past his attack and combined with Inuyasha's. Naraku screamed in pain as the backlash wave hit him hard, Then Sesshomaru's attack formed a large black hole behind the man and sucked him into hell itself, ending the battle and the shikon half dropping. Kagome stumbled forward, not believing. She walked past Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, past an unconscious Sango and a badly beaten Miroku and to the dark jewel laying on the ground. She slowly picked it up, purifying it. She touched the two half together, making the jewel full once more. She looked at it, as it rolled in her hand. It was finally over. A smile started to form, until a gurgle replaced it. She couched and blood spattered over the jewel.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed.
Sesshomaru turned, his eyes wide.
Kikyo stood in front of her, her bow in her hand. She smirked and watched as Kagome fell, an arrow deep in chest. The jewel rolled from her hand. Sesshomaru snarled and released his whip, whipping the woman's head clear off. He appeared before the miko's body and kneeled down, his eyes red.
"Sesshom…aru" Her eyes opened.
"I made it to the final battle…." She smiled, tears dripped from her eyes.
He didn't know what to say, he was for once speechless. Her eyes closed, and her heart stopped beating. His eyes widened more, his anger growing. He howled loudly and snarled.
Inuyasha closed his eyes, a tear falling. For both women. Miroku clasped his hands together and bowed, praying to the gods, tears dripping from his eyes. It was truly a sad day.
The jewel glowed and started to rise, Sesshomaru stepped back. It hovered above Kagome's forehead and slowly dropped, sinking into her head.
'Kagome wake up. Your time is not here.'
'Who are you?'
'We are the spirits of the sacred jewel. Wake up little one. All will be explained in time.'
Inuyasha gasped and stepped forward. Sesshomaru snarled at him and looked down upon Kagome. Her hair had grown longer and her ears pointed. Her once blunt nails, were now sharp and deadly. The image of the jewel appeared on her forehead, marking her as the holder of the shikon no tama. Her eyes fluttered open revealing her blue eyes. The black marks on her cheeks making them stand out more. "What?"
Sesshomaru pulled her up, his eyes no longer red. "I thought I had lost you."
Kagome smiled "I thought you would forget all about me. "
Sesshomaru shook his head. "How could I Miko? We are friends after all."
