Kouga and the wolves began their assault from the east, breaking naraku's barrier and coming face to face with naraku, keeping him busy as Sesshomaru and tashimaru led the assault from the west, blocking him on both sides. Naraku was getting angry at not being able to retreat to safety. Inuyasha was still worried about kagome and keeping an eye out for her as he fought. He just had this bad feeling that would not go away. The field was littered with blood at this point, but miraculously, no one had died as of yet. 'Just a little longer.' Kagome thought from the tree she was perched in. She was ready to end this once and for all. Naraku was starting to get overwhelmed, he had not expected this many at once, believing they would never unite with each other. As he fell back further toward the trees, Kagome lept out of the tree, sword in hand, and plunged it deep into Narakus back. "Augh!" He cried out, "you stupid bitch!" He grabbed her by the throat with a tentacle and all was still, everyone staring in horror as Kagome was flung into a tree behind him. They all cried as one, shouting her name, with no answer. Inuyasha let out a feral snarl as he lept at naraku shouting "die you bastard!" With the last of his powers, Naraku aimed a cloud of miasma at Inuyasha as he disintegrated from Kagome's purified sword attack. Kagome came back from unconsciousness and saw the miasma headed at her mate. With determination in her eyes, she lept in front of the attack to shield him. Inuyasha could only watch in slow motion horror as she was too far away to reach in time. She took the attack, with her arms outstreched facing him with tears in her eyes as the miasma hit her back, making a painful hissing sound. "Inuyasha!" She cried as the pain rolled over her, "I'm sorry! I love you! Please forgive me!" She collapsed to the ground, the miasma taking her life.
