Chapter 14 – Naraku
Sarome bowed her head and stopped, her fiery eyes looked upwards, and they clouded over with possession. "Naraku!" Katoma snarled. The figure of Naraku appeared in front of them, holding his hand out, as if he was holding something. When he squeezed his hand, Sarome squealed in pain, clenching her fists, causing blood to pour down her palm. "How dare you do this to Sarome, bastard!"
"She isn't yours…" Naraku growled with a smile.
"Nor yours…" Sarome growled back, shaking off Kurama. "Let me do this, Kurama," she whispered weakly.
"Sarome…"
"Trust me," she pulled around and kissed him gently on the lips and turned back to Naraku, as if that kiss filled her up with energy. Her tails flashed back and forward with anger, and her ears were flat against her head. A hiss escaped her throat. "You will die today, Naraku!" she snapped. She took a step forward, and when Naraku squeezed his hand, she only flinched slightly, but she kept walking towards him. Shock filled his eyes and he squeezed harder, but she kept moving.
"Damn you wench!" he snapped. She kept moving towards him, fire burning in her eyes and hands. "Die!" He clenched his fingers into a fist. This felled Sarome, and she went to her knees, gripping her neck, but, few sounds escaped her mouth.
"You die!" she said, pain in her voice. Kurama pulled out his legendary rose-whip and ran to her side, helping her up in front of Naraku. He flicked his wrist, and the blade went across a barrier. Inuyasha smiled behind them.
"A barrier?" he said. "Sarome Kurama, move!" he yelled, and they did, leaving a clear way to Naraku. Kurama pulled Sarome into his arms and fell behind the hanyou. The fang he held in his hand began to glow red, and Kagome next to him had an arrow in place. "Get ready to die, Naraku!" she yelled too, and sent the fletched arrow at Naraku, and Inuyasha used his wind scar to break the barrier. The fresh scents of Naraku filled everyone's nostrils, including the humans.
"Damn!" he yelled. His eyes clouded over in Miasma, and a very powerful blast of miasma came, but, instantly disappeared when Sarome transformed. "Kurama, get on!" she ordered. He did, and she jumped into the air, slashing a fire claw at him, which clipped him by the neck.
"Rose whip!" he yelled as he flicked his wrist again, which cut off Naraku's head at that. "It is finally over," he whispered into Sarome's ear as she landed.
"No, it isn't…" chuckled a voice as deep and sinister as anything. The head that Kurama had chopped off smiled, and it dissipated in a flash of purple miasma. "for now…"
"Dammit!" Inuyasha yelled into the sky. He looked as if he was about to chase after Naraku, but Sango, Kagome, and Miroku held him back. "Let me go!"
"Sarome needs us!" Sango said.
"There will be another time, Inuyasha!" Miroku said next.
"Miroku is right, Inuyasha," Kagome responded with kindness and trueness in her voice. Inuyasha stopped trashing in their arms and sighed, turning to Sarome. When he walked over to look at the damage, she woke up.
"I'm fine, guys," she said, before falling unconscious. More blood trickled down her neck. Sango called Kirara, and the giant cat welcomed her kin on her back, along with Kurama behind her. Once they were all outside, everyone seemed to transform. Shelbra took in a dog form, with four paws and fur, and let Sango and Miroku on her back. Katoma also transformed, and let Hiei and Touya on her back. Jin said he would fly, and Kagome and Shippo got on Inuyasha's back, even though he didn't transform like the others did.
"Lets go back home," Katoma yelled as they started off, only Jin and Kirara in the air. "All of us!" That made Kurama smile. He had finally befriended with the wolf-girl.
