Chapter 26,
Kagome saw the small flash of silver and she smiled. She knew that Sesshomaru had arrived. She allowed herself to fall onto the ground and smiled again when a pair of strong arms caught her.
She looked up into the eyes of a worried Sesshomaru. She smiled at him and gave him a slight nod. "Don't...worry…I…am okay." She said and Sesshomaru smiled down at her and gave her a peck on the cheek. He picked her up bridal style and jumped over to a tree, away from the battle.
He set her down, flinching when he saw her wince and when he saw satisfied that she would be relatively safe he turned to Naraku. "How dare you hurt my mate!" He said and Naraku laughed. "Perhaps if you had arrived sooner she would be fine." He said and Sesshomaru growled at him. He unsheathed Tokigen and charged at Naraku with great speed.
They clashed swords and the resulting sound almost sounded like thunder striking. Everyone winced and started backing up from the battle because they knew that the fighting would just get worse the longer the battle went on.
Sango and Miroku ran to Kagome and Sango smiled when she saw that Kagome was awake. "Well, at least you aren't to badly injured." She said and Kagome looked up at her and smiled, slightly nodding because of the pain. Sango ran over to Kagome's backpack and pulled out the first aid kit. She then ran back over to Kagome and quickly started wrapping the wound in her shoulder and abdomen.
Miroku turned away and looked to where Naraku was still battling Sesshomaru. Naraku swung his sword in an arc at Sesshomaru but was getting frustrated that his attacks were constantly being blocked. Sesshomaru's eyes were still red from rage but he was in complete control of his demonic energies.
Naraku kept slashing at Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru kept blocking. They both broke away from their deadly dance and they were both panting, although Naraku was much more tired than Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru smirked and attacked again. When he jumped back Naraku was bleeding profusely from one of his many wounds. Sesshomaru ran into attack again but this time Naraku was ready and instantly counter attacked. Sesshomaru let out a pitiful yelp when his got the large gash on his side. It was nothing that a good nights rest couldn't help but it still hurt.
Sesshomaru looked up and glared at the now smirking Naraku. He growled again. "Half-breed, how dare you hurt this Sesshomaru! For that you shall pay!" He yelled and quickly attacked.
He lifted Tokigen so that it pointed up towards the storm clouds and he looked at Naraku and smirked. "Dragon Strike!" He yelled and the attack flew towards Naraku.
Out of the corner of Sesshomaru's eye he saw a bright pink light flying towards Naraku and he got out of the way because it was close to him. When he dodged he looked at where his attack was heading and noticed that the arrow that Kagome had shot combined with his attack and it sent a wave of miko and demonic energies at the half-breed.
The attack hit Naraku dead on and blew him apart. Kagome shot another arrow and it hit the Jewel, half way purifying it. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and smiled.
"Hurry and grab the Jewel before Naraku becomes one again!" He nodded and jumped over to were the Jewel was and grabbed it before Naraku could get a hold of it again. He then jumped over to Kagome and they watched as Naraku reformed himself, although his head was the only thing left.
Kagome notched another arrow and shot it with all of her energy at Naraku, quickly obliterating him. He turned to dust and faded with the wind that seemed to pick up when Naraku turned to dust.
Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru and held out her hand, wincing from the wounds. He put the Jewel Shard in her hand and when she touched it, it was instantly purified. She then looked up at Sesshomaru then back down to the Jewel. She closed her eyes and made a silent wish on the Jewel.
When she opened her eyes again, the Jewel glowed a bright light and shot back into Kagome's body. When the Jewel went into her she felt a sense of wholeness.
Sesshomaru smiled down at her. "What did you wish for?" He asked and Kagome smiled at him. "I wished that everybody would be happy, but that had a slight backfire. You will meet them soon." She said and Sesshomaru bent down and hugged her. He stroked her hair and nuzzled her neck. Kagome smiled and suddenly she started to feel light.
She lifted her hands to her face and noticed that she was slowly disappearing. Sesshomaru pulled away and looked scared at her and she smiled. "I am sorry, but I have to leave now. I will see you again in tomorrow for me or 500 years for you. Will you wait that long for me?" She asked and Sesshomaru nodded and tried to hug her but it didn't work. Instead he smiled his one true smile for her and nodded. "I would wait forever for you." He said and Kagome nodded, turning to the rest of her friends, saying her goodbyes. Everybody cried and Kagome said her last goodbye and then she vanished completely.
Sango cried into Miroku's shoulder and she was surprised to hear a almost silent crying sound. They all looked at Sesshomaru and noticed that he was shedding tears. Inuyasha smiled at his brother. "We are all going to miss her." He said and then Sango got an idea. She looked to Sesshomaru. "Is there anyway to become a demon or even a half-demon?" She asked and Sesshomaru looked at her and gave a slight nod.
"There is one way for humans to become a demon but it is a painful ritual passed down within the lords of the four kingdoms." He said and Sango nodded so he continued.
"A book I read about in the library tells of a ritual that takes place so that humans could become demons. The lord of the region has to give his blood to the human and it would take exactly three days of immense pain while the blood transforms your body into that of a demons body." He said and Sango smiled at him.
"Do you think that you could do that for me, Kohaku, and Miroku?" She asked and Sesshomaru looked at her. "Why would you want me to?" He asked and Sango smirked. "That way we can all see Kagome 500 years from now." She said in a kind of 'duh' tone of voice.
Sesshomaru smiled again and they quickly walked back to the castle, despite their injuries. When they got there they went to the living room and they all sat down. Sesshomaru pulled three small glasses, that were about the size of shot glasses, out and set them on the floor. He quickly cut the top of his wrist and let the blood flow into the three cups.
Kohaku had come to the castle during the fighting and was waiting for them. Sesshomaru handed Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku the cups and they quickly drank. When the blood touched their tounges they quickly fainted from it.
Inuyasha looked to Sesshomaru and he nodded. "The blood made them pass out so that their bodies would not feel the pain. In three days time they will all be full blood demons, but they will be dog demons, and so will any child that they would have." He said and both Inuyasha and Kikyo nodded. Inuyasha knew that Kikyo would not half to go through all of this because she was his mate to be and when he mated her she would transform into a half-demon-half-miko.
Three days passed by quickly and finally the three woke up. Sango smiled when she felt power brimming in her body. She jumped up off of the bed she had somehow gotten to and ran over to a mirror. She smiled when she noticed that she looked just like Kagome but instead of silver in her black ears and tail she had blood red tipping her tail, hair, and ears. She also had small fangs and claws. The most distinguishing factor was that her eyes were a dark red. She smirked and ran to find the others.
She quickly sniffed out Miroku and Kohaku and found them staring at the mirror in the room opposite hers. She smirked at them
Miroku had a long white tail and white ears with black tips. His hair was still black though. His eyes were a bright silver and he also had his own set of claws and fangs. Sango looked over to Kohaku. He now had blue and black hair. His once black hair now had dark blue streaks in it and his black ears had dark blue tips. His eyes were crystalline blue as well. Sango ran over to them and tightly hugged them, backing up when she started to hear bones pop.
"Sorry, I was already strong to begin with but because I am now a demon I am even stronger." She said with a creepy smile and both Miroku and Kohaku felt a chill go down their spines. They looked at one another and shrugged.
They all went to the dining room where the smell of food was so inviting. When they got there they saw, well, more of smelled Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara, Rin, and Kikyo waiting in the room.
Shippo looked at them and smiled. "Wow, you all look so cool!" He said in awe and they all laughed. Sesshomaru looked down at his adoptive son and daughter and smiled at them. Sango looked at Rin and noticed that she was also a demon, but she looked more like Sesshomaru.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. This would be the start of a new beginning for them all. They would see Kagome in the future.
