Chapter 38: NO! Not Again!
Inuyasha was thrown back into the spring.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
"It feels so good to be alive!" Naraku said.
"Naraku, die for the final time! Golden blessing Whip!" She cut him in half but he pulled back together. She growled. Kagome transformed into a dog. She was blue like her father but had black ears and black and white spots on her back.
"You can't defeat me! Never!" Naraku yelled. He pointed his hand at her and she transformed back.
"Wha - How?"
She growled again.
"How dare you hurt my family!" Inu Heki yelled and ran towards Naraku.
"Dad! No! Don't!"
He was thrown back. Kagome ran up to him. Her eyes turned bright pink and she looked at Naraku, infuriated.
"Naraku, die!" She said with an echo in her voice.
"Kagome, hit his head! His head!" Inuyasha yelled.
She aimed at his head. "Infinite Aura Blast!" It missed his head by mere inches and hit his neck. He again pulled back together. "Damn he's unbeatable! He just won't die!"
"Kagome, go get the others, hurry. We can hold him off."
"Right!" She ran and threw her clothes on and ran towards the village.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked.
"It's Naraku. He's alive again."
"Still?"
"Yes, I'll take you there."
She transformed again. Shippo ran up to see a 30' blue dog in his way.
"Shippo, get on. Hold on tight." She barked.
He crawled onto her back and she bounded and she bounded towards the spring.
"Father!" She barked when she saw them on the ground. Shippo transformed and took Sango to the ground. Kagome transformed back and ran up to him in tears. "Father! Are you ok? Say something!"
He cringed.
'Father?'
'Ka - go - me. Get away from me… its too late for -'
"No its not! Don't say that!" She said latching onto his shoulders. He calmed down and she picked him up.
"Kagome, you'll hurt your back. Let me take him." Inuyasha said.
"No Inuyasha. He's my father. I'll take him."
She ran with him to Kaede's, Inuyasha had Sango and Shippo just ran behind them.
'Kagome…'
'Hold on father. Hold on! Please!'
She put him down on the floor of Kaede's hut and removed his haori. He had a hole in his stomach.
"What happened to ye?" Kaede asked.
"He was wounded by Naraku."
"I think ye can heal him Kagome."
"How?"
"Summon your powers and ask them to heal. Then move your hands over his wounds."
She tried to summon her powers but they didn't come.
"Its not working Kaede!"
"Try again."
She tried and felt a warmth coming from her hands.
"Good child, keep going."
'Kagome… please don't… stop…'
She healed him all the way and then he gasped. She fell on him and hugged him.
'I thought I was going to loose you.' He hugged her back and sat up.
"Its ok Kagome. Thank you."
"You sure are a lot of work Dad. You get wounded too much."
He chuckled. "Well, when I do, I can always count on you to be there."
"I love you Dad…. Argh…. What?" She was stabbed in the back by his claws and fell back. He wasn't Inu Heki anymore. He was Naraku.
He chuckled.
"Father…?" She passed out on the floor.
"Kagome? Kagome wake up. Kagome?" Called a voice.
'Huh? I know that voice.'
"Kagome?"
'Its -'
"Kagome wake up!" She was shaken awake.
"Huh?"
"You fell asleep in the hot spring. I didn't want you drowning silly." Her father said, smiling down at her. He was on his knee next to her. She was clothed and lying on the ground.
"When did I fall asleep?"
"Right after you told me about Miroku."
"So it was all a dream?"
"What was a dream?"
"Naraku attacked. He put a hole in your stomach. I healed you and then you turned into him and killed me."
"What have you been eating lately darling? You're having a lot of nightmares lately."
"More like premonitions." His eyes widened. "For the past few times I've had a dream like this they've turned real. That's how I knew Inuyasha was going to attack me, how you died, now this. I don't know about this one though. It doesn't seem as real as the others though."
"Well, we hope Naraku is really dead. I wouldn't hurt you Kagome. I can even tell my youkai accepts you and Inuyasha as family."
"Then why did you attack my mom?" She asked and they got up.
"Because when you're in that bad of a condition you don't recognize anything. You can't stop until you die."
"Come on, hurry up." Inuyasha said. They were getting ready to leave. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were coming with them.
"Goodbye Kaede." Sango said.
"Goodbye, take care." Kaede said.
Sango and Miroku hopped on Kirara, Shippo transformed into a duck, Kagome was running with Muteki and Inuyasha just ran, as well as Inu Heki.
"Stay behind me Inuyasha, incase I fall you can catch Muteki."
"Feh."
They started off. In about fifteen minutes they stopped to say goodbye to Inu Heki.
"You take care Kagome, Inuyasha."
"You too father. I love you."
"Love you too." He said; kissed her forehead and ran towards The Southern Lands. They continued until they reached the castle.
"Ka - Kagome, this is where you live?" Sango asked.
"Yea, Sesshoumaru really out did himself." She answered.
Kagome walked to a door. Sango and Miroku got off Kirara and Shippo transformed to his normal self. "Sango, Miroku this is where you sleep." She said pointing at a door. "Shippo this is where you sleep." She said pointing at another door next to it.
"I - I sleep alone?" Shippo stuttered.
"Well, unless you want to sleep with a screaming baby, this is the best you got because I don't think Sango and Miroku would like you in their room now that they're about to get married. You'll probably still wake up to Sango beating him."
Sango chuckled and hit Miroku.
"Muteki will sleep with you Shippo when he's a little older. We'll show you guess the rest of the castle tomorrow. You probably want sleep. Night."
"Night Kagome." They all said and went to their rooms.
