Naraku looks at the Shion No Tama with an evil gleam in his eyes.
"Midoriko, you will grant me my wishes. I am the new owner of the Shikon No Tama, you have no choice but to obey me." Naraku growled. The spirit of Midoriko appears before Naraku with a sad expression.
"As you wish my Lord." Midoriko says with a slight bow. Naraku smirks evilly as he looks at the beautiful woman before him, but she was no Kagome.
"For my first wish, I wish to be King of the Western Lands!" Naraku growled. Midoriko gave a nod and waved her hands. Soon the sky was going dark and the air was filled with miasma. Lightning and thunder began to clash the sky, giving off more of that evil aura. The castle began to change into one that's fit for a Dark Lord.
"What's going on?" Kagome has a worried look. Inuyasha growls angrily as he recognizes the evil aura in the air.
"It's Naraku!" Inuyasha says. Hige and Kagome look at Inuyasha with worry. Everyone was looking around until they saw Naraku come down before them in his barrier shield. The crown that Hige wore appeared on Naraku's head and he wore royal clothing. It was a black kimono with purple and gold embroidery and a red obi. His wavy hair was put up into a hair ponytail. Kagome and Hige gasped with horror, Inuyasha took his stance ready for a good fight.
"Naraku! You traitorous demon!" Hige shouted.
"Hold your tongue you little whelp! You have a new King before you!" The little demon hissed at Hige.
We'll see about that! Inuyasha's demon growled.
Let's show this demon what we can do! Inuyasha's human side growled as well.
I won't let him get away with this! I'll kill him! Inuyasha told them subconsciously. Naraku watched as Inuyasha crouched low with his hand holding the hilt of his sword.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Unless you want your little Princess to die." Naraku smirked as he wrapped a tentacle around Kagome's waist. Kagome let out a scream when she felt herself being squeezed.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha and Hige called out.
"Naraku, I order you to release my daughter!" Hige said. Naraku threw his head back in laughter.
"There's a new order now! My order!" Naraku said in a demonic voice.
"Now you will be the ones to bow down before me!" Naraku said with an evil smile. Kagome grunted and scoffed.
"We will NEVER bow to you!" Kagome said. Naraku squeezed her tighter. Kagome gasped feeling her breath being suffocated.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!" Inuyasha barked with anger. Naraku smirked with an evil grin as he held up the Shikon No Tama. Inuyasha gasped with shock. 'No! I knew I shouldn't have left it alone!' Inuyasha cursed himself. He saw the Shikon No Tama turning black with Naraku's dark heart. 'I should've freed Midoriko while I had the chance!' Inuyasha growled to himself.
"Midoriko! For my second wish, I wish to be the most powerful demon in the world!" Naraku said. Midoriko nodded sadly as she waved her hands. Naraku began to transform into a huge spider demon with dark powers to use. Inuyasha growled as he felt a little intimidated by Naraku. 'Just because he's gotten stronger and more powerful doesn't mean nothing! I will be the one to defeat you Naraku!' Inuyasha barked to himself.
Now where were we? Ah yes, you WILL bow before me! Naraku said in his demonic form. The eyes glowed a bright red making Hige bow first. Then Naraku tosses Kagome to her father.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted with worry. Kagome turns around with her miko powers about to show but Naraku was too fast. He made her bow before him as well.
Naraku turns back into his human form with an evil smirk. His power and strength were a lot more stronger than before, he no longer had a human heart. He was a full demon. Naraku walks up to Kagome and holds her chin.
"My dear Kagome, there's just someone I'm dying to introduce you to." Naraku said as he looks to Inuyasha with a smirk. Kagome gasps as she knows what Naraku plans on doing.
"Naraku! Take your filthy hands off of her!" Inuyasha barked angrily as he drew out his sword. Naraku grins as he snaps his fingers, a dark purple light surrounds his hands and he thrushes has hand forward. The purple light of power surrounds Inuyasha and begins to change him back into his half-demon form. His jet black hair turned silver, his brown eyes turned amber gold, his nails turned into claws, his teeth turned into fangs, and his human ears were replaced with two triangular dog ears on top of his head. Kagome heard her father gasp.
"Kagome what's the meaning of this? Did you know about this?" Her father asked. Kagome was about to answer her father but Inuyasha spoke out.
"Don't blame your daughter your Highness, she didn't know anything. I'm sorry Kagome." Inuyasha said with his ears pinned against his head. Hige looked at his daughter as she had a worried look for the hanyou.
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered with a sad look in her eyes. Hige noticed this as well as he heard his daughter whisper his name. 'Wait a minute. Inuyasha? He's Inutaishou and Izayoi's son.' Hige remembered the stories, but he also remembers meeting them one day for a royal meeting at Inutaishou's castle. The day before the war started, Inutaishou had agreed to let Hige take over the Western Lands for him. He also mentioned his son Inuyasha, and had asked Hige to make sure that Inuyasha lives a comfortable life with his mother. Hige sighed sadly. 'Then I have done a horrible job at that. Inuyasha's mother died and his father.. I have no idea what happened to him. I knew that Inuyasha lived somewhere in the village but I was never able to meet him or talk with him. He must've had a rough life.' Hige thought sadly.
"Let's get rid of this lowly half-demon now shall we." Naraku smirked as he wrapped a tentacle around Inuyasha's waist. Inuyasha growled as he slashed the tentacle apart.
"Don't touch me you vile demon!" Inuyasha growled as he took a hold of his sword. Naraku chuckled evilly as he waited for the hanyou to attack.
"Wind Scar!" Inuyasha shouted his attack. A light emanated from the sword heading for Naraku. Naraku absorbed the attack with a smirk. Inuyasha gasps.
"What!?" Inuyasha glared at Naraku. Then he could scent the Wind Scar again, but it wasn't coming from his sword, it was coming from Naraku. 'Oh no!' Inuyasha thought to himself. The Wind Scar shot out from Naraku's barrier even stronger, but that didn't worry Inuyasha. Inuyasha took a hold of his sword and waited for the attack to close in. Once the Wind Scar was close enough, Inuyasha swung his sword.
"Backlash Wave!" Inuyasha shouted as he sent the attack back to Naraku even stronger than what it was before. When the attack made contact with Naraku, he absorbed that attack as well.
"What in the...!?" Inuyasha growled. Naraku sent the attack straight back before Inuyasha had a chance to dodge or attack. Inuyasha screamed out as the Backlash Wave made contact with him.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed out with fear. Inuyasha was down on the ground, he looked lifeless from where Kagome was standing.
"Inuyasha... Inuyasha!" Kagome called out to him, but Inuyasha didn't move. Naraku gave an evil laugh as he took Kagome in his arms and dragged Hige by the collar.
"No! Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome kept calling out with tears in her eyes.
"Silence woman! He's dead, so forget about him." Naraku smiled evilly. Kagome couldn't help but whimper her cries as Naraku dragged her and Hige back inside of the castle.
Shippo was back to his seven year old self ever since the Shikon No Tama became Naraku's. He and Karo (who surprisingly didn't disappear) came up to Inuyasha to check up on him.
"Inuyasha?" Shippo called out. Inuyasha looked badly injured but Shippo knew that he's gone through much worst.
"Come on Inuyasha, don't do this. Kagome needs you and so do I. I never said this to you and I may be a pain sometimes but... I always thought of you as sort of a father figure to me. You took me in and took care of me the best you could, and I always appreciated that... no matter how many times we aggravate each other." Shippo said with a sad look. Karo mewed as he nudged Inuyasha's face and started licking the wounds.
Inuyasha's ears twitched as he slowly opened his eyes. He heard every word that Shippo said and gave a small smile.
"You mean that kid?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at Shippo. Shippo gasped as he looked up to see Inuyasha awake.
"You're alive!" Shippo shouted with excitement. Inuyasha scoffed.
"Of course I am kid. I was caught of guard, but that won't be happening again." Inuyasha said as he sat up rubbing the back of his head.
"Are you going to be able to fight Inuyasha?" Shippo asked as Karo transformed into his saber form.
"Don't worry Shippo, these wounds are nothing. I will save Kagome and her father, get revenge for mother and father, and defeat Naraku! I WON'T let him win!" Inuyasha barked as he hopped on Karo's back. Shippo hopped up to as he settled in front of Inuyasha.
"Let's go Karo!" Inuyasha gave the command and Karo took off to head to the top of the castle.
In the throne room, Naraku had Kagome chained and leashed while her father was in a cage. He was torturing Hige with a few of his demons after he weakened Hige, making him useless to defend himself with his powers. Narkau chuckled evilly as he watched Hige suffer.
"Stop it Naraku! Leave him alone!" Kagome cried out. Kagome was in a black kimono with red and gold embroidery and a purple obi. Her raven hair was up in a high ponytail and her lips were ruby red. Naraku tugged on the chain that bounded Kagome to him.
"It pains me to have to treat you like this Kagome. A beautiful flower such as yourself should be in the arms of the most powerful demon in the world." Naraku said as he held a golden crown up to Kagome. Kagome backed away slowly as Naraku's face grew closer to her.
"Why, with you as my Queen..." Kagome sent out her miko powers through her hands and used them on Naraku.
"Never!" Kagome growled. Naraku hissed out in pain from her miko powers and slapped the young miko on the cheek, causing her to fall backwards.
"Kagome!" Hige shouted with worry as he tried to use his own powers, but he was still weak.
Naraku glared at the young miko and had a thought. His grin became big as he looked at the Shikon No Tama around his neck.
"Midoriko, I have decided to make my final wish." Narkau said.
At this point, Inuyasha entered the castle and made it to the throne room with ease. He hid behind a statue and watched the whole thing as he listened with his heightened hearing.
"What is your final wish my Lord?" Midoriko asks sadly.
"I wish for Princess Kagome to fall madly in love with me." Naraku said with an evil smirk. Kagome gasped in horror. 'Inuyasha... Please I need you... Please be alive..." Kagome thought to herself.
Inuyasha growled silently to himself as he heard the wish.
Midoriko can't grant that wish remember? Inuyasha's human side reassured.
Still the intension is there and he's going to regret hurting our mate! Inuyasha's demon growled
"I'm sorry my Lord, but that is one of the four wishes that I can't grant. I have restrictions." Midoriko explained. Naraku growled.
Kagome looked pass Naraku and saw Inuyasha peek out from behind the statue. She silently gasped with joy. Inuyasha put a finger to his lips as he moved a little closer. Kagome nodded as she thought of a plan. She hated this plan and knew that Inuyasha would too, but it was her only option at this point.
You do as I say! I'm the new master here, YOU obey me! Naraku growled in his demonic voice.
"Naraku." Kagome called out to him. Naraku turned to look at Kagome with a look of lust in his eyes. Naraku placed the Shikon No Tama down on the arm of his throne and turned back to Kagome.
"I never realized how handsome and strong you really are." Kagome said in a seductive voice. Inuyasha watched Kagome as she played Naraku.
"That's better. Now my dear, tell me more about myself." Naraku said with a dark grin. Kagome walks over to him seductively.
"Your the strongest demon in the world, you're very intimidating, any woman would want you." Kagome said seductively. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he gagged to himself. 'At least she's keeping him distracted for me to take that jewel back.' Inuyasha thought to himself, although he worried.
"Go on my dear." Naraku said.
"I just love how your eyes glow making other cower before you. You have the Western Lands in the very palm of your hands. Your voice is so soothing and hypnotic, it just sends shivers down my spine." Kagome said more. Inuyasha was at the throne, hiding from Naraku.
The little demon gasped as he saw Inuyasha in the room.
"Nara..." The little demon began to call out but Kirara and Karo pounced the little demon to silence him.
"What about your infatuation with that half-breed?" Naraku asked as he got closer to Kagome's face. Kagome huffed and smirked.
"What half-breed?" Kagome asked as she caressed Naraku's cheek.
Inuyasha was making a grab for the Shikon No Tama when Kirara and Karo knocked a bowl off a podium along with the little demon. Naraku turned around to see what was going on but Kagome grabbed him fast and turned him towards her to kiss him on the lips.
Inuyasha growled in disgust as he saw the scene before him. He knew that Kagome hated doing that and knew that she was doing it to keep Naraku distracted, but it still bothered him.
How could she do that!? His demon barked.
Quit your growling. I'm not happy with it either but she did it to keep him from seeing us. Inuyasha's human side explained.
When Kagome broke the kiss, Naraku had a smirk playing across his lips.
"That was..." Naraku saw a reflection of the hanyou and growled.
"You!" Naraku hit Inuyasha with one of his tentacles, making him hit against a wall. Inuyasha growled.
"How many times must I kill you, you mutt!" Naraku shouted. Kagome thought fast and took a sword that was in the throne room and clashed it with Naraku's. Naraku was very intrigued with Kagome's actions.
"You dare fight against me!?" Naraku growled. Kagome growled back.
"You are nothing Naraku! I will fight you!" Kagome said as she and Naraku clashed blades again.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called out as he watched Kagome face Naraku. Yes, he was surprised but he knew that Kagome couldn't face this on his own.
"You will die Naraku! I won't let you rule the Western Lands! It doesn't belong to you!" Kagome and Naraku clashed blades over and over. Naraku smirked as he sliced at Kagome's arm, leaving a slash mark. Kagome fell back but kept he stance.
"Kagome stop!" Inuyasha said as he drew out his Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha could smell Kagome's blood, his eyes went wide knowing that his mate was injured. Inuyasha growled with anger as his demon side began to take over. His eyes glowed red with teal irises, his fangs and claws grew sharper, and he had one purple jagged stripe on each cheek.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out as she saw him transform.
Kagome back me up! Inuyasha said as he charged at Naraku with his Tetsusaiga. Kagome nodded as her miko powers healed her injured arm. Naraku smirked as he transformed into a gigantic spider demon.
You will never defeat me you half-breed! Naraku laughed evilly.
We'll see about that you filthy vermin! Inuyasha barked. Inuyasha rose his sword as it turned black. Kagome had a bow and arrow at the ready, letting her miko powers flow through the arrow.
"Die Naraku!" Kagome shouted as she sent her arrow flying straight at Naraku's heart. Naraku hissed in pain as the arrow started to purify him. Kagome sent another sacred arrow, but this time it was at his back. She sent two more arrows, cutting off Naraku's spider legs.
What!? NO! Naraku shouted. Inuyasha grinned evilly.
Time to send you to the depths of the underworld where you belong! Inuyasha brought down his sword.
Meidou Zangetsuha! Inuyasha shouted as blades of the Meidou was sent flying, pulling Naraku apart piece by piece. Naraku was defeated by Inuyasha and Kagome.
The defeat of Naraku had turned everything back to normal and freed Kagome's father. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha as she ran to check on her father.
"Father, are you alright?" Kagome asked. Hige hugged his daughter with a proud smile.
"I am very proud of you Kagome. You are one strong woman." Hige said as he looked at his daughter. Kagome had a loving smile.
"I can't take all the credit father." Kagome said as she looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha picked up the Shikon No Tama and placed it around his neck and Shippo hopped up onto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I feel like such an idiot for not freeing you first before I left." Inuyasha said.
"Don't blame yourself Inuyasha. You didn't know what was going to happen. You can't tell the future." Midoriko told him.
"Still, it's common sense." Inuyasha said.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. You defeated Naraku, got your revenge for your parents, and saved the entire kingdom." Shippo said with a smile. Inuyasha gave a sad smile.
"All good it did me." Inuyasha said with his ears pinned against his head.
"Inuyasha." Kagome called out to him as she walked close to him. Inuyasha turned around to see his precious Kagome and took her hands.
"I'm sorry for everything that you have been through, and I'm sorry for lying to you about being a prince... Even though you figured it out, I still shouldn't have lied to you." He told her with a sad expression.
"It's alright Inuyasha. I understand why you did it." Kagome said with a soft smile. Inuyasha nodded as he began to release her hands.
"Goodbye Kagome." Inuyasha was going to leave but Kagome took hold of his hands. Inuyasha turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
"That stupid law! This isn't fair... I love you Inuyasha." Kagome said as she hugged him tightly. Inuyasha held her close to him.
"I love you too Kagome." He told her as he rested his chin on the top of her head.
"You still have one wish left Inuyasha. Just say the word and you can become a Prince again." Midoriko said. Inuyasha shook his head.
"I'm not going to wish for that." Inuyasha said with a small smile.
"I love Kagome, but it would be selfish of me to use that third wish on myself. So Midoriko, I wish for the Shikon No Tama to disappear forever so that you can be free." Inuyasha said with a smile. The Shikon No Tama began to crack and it shattered into dust. Midoriko had a look of shock. She saw the smile on Inuyasha's face and smiled herself.
"Thank you Inuyasha, for everything. I am a free spirit now and can move on in peace." Midoriko said as she disappeared.
"Goodbye Midoriko, rest in peace." Iuyasha said. Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder with a smile.
"You did the right thing Inuyasha. I'll miss you though and no matter what anyone says, you'll always be a Prince to me." Kagome said as she kissed Inuyasha's cheek.
Hige gave a smile as he walked over to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha my boy, you have definitely proved yourself to me that you are willing to do anything to protect my daughter and this kingdom. I knew your mother and father back then and your father specifically asked me to make sure you and your mother lived happily. I didn't do a really good job at keeping that promise to your father. From this day forward my daughter shall marry whomever she deems worthy." Hige said with a smile and a nod.
Kagome gasped with a surprised look but soon turned into a loving happy smile. She ran up to Inuyasha.
"Him!" Kagome said as Inuyasha picked her up and spun her around. When he placed her back on the ground, Kagome caressed his cheek softly with a loving smile.
"I choose you Inyasha." Inuyasha smiles as he leaned his forehead against hers.
"I love you Kagome." Inuyasha said happily.
Inuyasha and Kagome were flying on their neko demons Karo and Kirara. They smiled at each other as they flew through the diamond sky with the full moon shining brightly.
"You're very beautiful Kagome." Inuyasha said with love in his eyes. Kagome held out her hand to Inuyasha, he gladly took her hand in his.
"I love you Inuyasha." Kagome said as she took his other hand in hers. Inuyasha placed his forehead against hers with a soft loving smile.
"I love you too Kagome." He told her softly. He took his hand, placed it on her cheek softly and bringing her close to him. He leaned in to give her a soft loving kiss. When they came up for air they smiled. They knew that this was only the beginning.
