Sesshomaru could feel Kaida's presence against his back, and he had no plans of letting her leave him again. He watched as the monk opened the tunnel in his hand and the demon slayer threw her boomerang. "Mediou Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha called as he swung his sword and cut Naraku's remaining webs.
Sesshomaru swung his own sword. "Bakusaiga!" Sesshomaru frowned as the attack ended up hitting the wall instead of Naraku. It annoyed Sesshomaru as he watched Naraku smirk. That half demon won't lay another finger on Kaida! I will kill him!
"Naraku cut his own body to set himself loose!" Kohaku called out.
"Did he do it to escape Bakusaiga's destruction?" Jaken asked.
"Coward!" Kaida growled. Sesshomaru felt Kaida's hand tighten on his kimono top.
"Kaida…" Naraku chuckled.
"How pointless." Sesshomaru said, tried not to growl. He wanted to tear Naraku apart.
"You all certainly look happy." Naraku said calmly. "Light has returned to the Shikon Jewel simply because you have all gathered. Is this what you call 'hope'? Do not forget… The Shikon Jewel and my body are already one." Naraku's body started to glow purple and almost looked wooden.
"The darkness pushed back the light?!" Inuyasha's priestess girl gasped.
"What?!" Kaida gasped. Kaida sounded scared. That only added to Sesshomaru's anger.
"Did that jerk finally let the jewel consume his soul?" Inuyasha growled as Naraku's form started to change more.
Purple miasma clusters started to form in front of Naraku. "More clusters of miasma?!" The demon slayer called out. Sesshomaru got ready as the clusters started to shot towards them all.
"Mediou Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha called out and cut through the clusters. "Even though I keep hitting him, he won't die!" Inuyasha sounded angrily. Sesshomaru also was having trouble containing his anger. Naraku started to reform his body again. "The Shikon Jewel must still be clinging to this world!"
"Watch out below too!" Rin called out.
"Don't mock me." Sesshomaru growled at Naraku. "Bakusaiga!" Sesshomaru swung his sword, and quickly destroyed the ones that had been coming towards him. "Kaida?" He whispered, worried he had moved too quickly for her to hang on.
"I'm okay." Kaida whispered. She sounded a little winded. "Just help protect the others!" She started coughing. Sesshomaru frowned. The miasma was getting stronger, and Kaida still had a little bit of human in her blood still. "Jaken." Sesshomaru called.
"Y-yes?" Jaken called out.
"Leave Naraku's body." Sesshomaru ordered.
"Understood!" Jaken called out.
Coward. Sesshomaru frowned, but he knew that he had to get Kaida away. "Kaida go with him."
"What?!" Kaida gasped.
Before Sesshomaru or Kaida could say anything else Kohaku called out. "But!"
"Can't you see?! You two would just be in the way!" Jaken yelled at the two kids.
"I'm not leaving your side!" Kaida growled at Sesshomaru. "No matter what!" She coughed slightly. "I can't!" Kaida's attention was draw away suddenly.
"They're outside too!" Kohaku called out as more clusters formed.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango called out, her boomerang saved the two kids.
"Sister!" Kohaku called out.
"Kohaku, get outside quickly!" The demon slayer ordered.
Sesshomaru looked over and spotted Rin handing the gas mask to the demon slayer. "Sango, thank you for the gas mask!"
More clusters distracted Sesshomaru. He sliced out at them easily, but he was starting to get worried about Kaida. He could feel her shivering against his back. He paused slightly as he smelt fresh blood coming from her shoulder. Sesshomaru was still upset about Naraku touching Kaida. Sesshomaru turned and gripped his sword, looking towards Naraku.
"Mediou Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha called out.
"Bakusaiga!" Sesshomaru called. He watched as both the attacks hit Naraku together.
Sesshomaru growled as Naraku started to reform again. "Give it up Naraku. No matter how much you resist, your body will just keep crumbling to pieces!" Inuyasha called out.
Naraku laughed and Sesshomaru could feel Kaida's body tense in reaction. "I have plenty of my body left. Enough to annihilate a village."
"A village?!" Inuyasha gasped.
What is his plan? Sesshomaru growled.
"Naraku!" Inuyasha growled.
"Did you not realize where you were?" Naraku asked and laughed again. Kaida shivered again and Sesshomaru growled lightly. "It's too late now. If you kill me, my miasma-coated remains will rain down on the village."
"So what?" Sesshomaru growled and drew Bakusaiga. "Bakusaiga!" Sesshomaru shot forward and cut Naraku in half.
"He's collapsing!" Sango called out.
"The Shikon Jewel is still alive." Kagome called out. "Naraku is falling on purpose."
"The village!" Kaida gasped. "He plans to harm them! Sesshomaru! You have to stop him!"
Sesshomaru watched as the humans started to exit. "Hang on tightly Kaida." Sesshomaru said as gently as he could and then flew out. Kaida's grip tightened, but Sesshomaru was still worried she could fall off. He heard a gasp as Kaida noticed Naraku's full form. It was a giant spider demon, coated in miasma.
"Mediou Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha called out. Sesshomaru watched as the attack his Naraku and started to absorb him in. An arrow suddenly flew and hit the ball of miasma.
"Kagome!" Kaida called out.
The arrow disappeared as it touched the miasma. "The arrow disappeared!" Inuyasha called out. The ball of miasma started to glow.
"The clusters of miasma…" A human called out.
"They're vanishing!" Another human called out as well.
Sesshomaru felt Kaida relax. "Thank goodness." Kaida sounded relieved.
"The miasma around the village is being purified." The monk called out.
Sesshomaru landed on the ground and looked over seeing Kohaku and Rin. He frowned as Kaida slipped off his back. "Kagome's arrow defeated Naraku!" Kohaku said in awe.
"Amazing!" Kaida smiled and moved forward.
Sesshomaru looked at her. Her sleeve had blood slightly coming from her shoulder. Her wound had been reopened, but she looked like she was ignoring the pain now.
"I did it?" The priestess called out.
Suddenly the miasma moved forward, still glowing. "Kagome!" Inuyasha shot forward to protect her. He pulled her into his arm and started running.
Sesshomaru pulled Kaida into his arms and out of the way of the moving attack. "KAGOME!" Kaida called out as well as the other humans. "INUYASHA!"
Sesshomaru followed the two, keeping Kaida in his arms. He spotted a well. Naraku was above the well, with an arrow piercing through the jewel. Naraku was only a head and part of a bone body.
Naraku smirked and Sesshomaru frowned. Kaida wiggled out of his arms and moved a little towards Kagome. "Naraku!" Inuyasha growled. The demon slayer and the monk landed.
"I made a wish on the Shikon Jewel back then." Naraku suddenly said. Sesshomaru growled as Naraku looked towards Kaida.
"Back then?" The priestess asked.
"Back when Byakuya of Illusions cut you and Kaida." Naraku said calmly.
Sesshomaru growled and looked at Kaida, she looked fine, but he was angry that Kaida had some ties into Naraku's plot.
"Once I die, that wish shall be granted." Naraku continued. "The wish I made on the Jewel was the wish of the Shikon Jewel itself." Naraku suddenly glowed and then was gone.
"Naraku…" The priestess whispered.
Sesshomaru noticed that the monk started to look at his hand. Sesshomaru noticed that the monk's hand was normal, the wind tunnel was missing. He had noticed the tunnel before, but it was gone…. Which meant that Naraku was officially dead.
"Miroku!" The demon slayer called out happily.
"The Wind Tunnel has disappeared?" An elderly human woman said, walking up.
"The curse had been broken, right?" The demon slayer stared to cry.
Naraku is dead… Sesshomaru looked at Kaida. She looked so happy, so relaxed. I love you Kaida…. I… Naraku is dead now… I will ask her soon.
"There's no mistaking it. Naraku is no more." The monk said.
"IT'S OVER!" Kaida moved forward and wrapped her arms around the priestess. "He's gone!" Sesshomaru smiled slightly, seeing Kaida so happy. That happiness didn't last long as a Mediou suddenly opened up behind the two girls.
"A Mediou?!" Inuyasha gasped as the two girls started to get sucked in. "Kagome!"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out. At the same time Kaida cried out in fear.
"Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru moved forward at the same time as Inuyasha. Both of them were going to save the woman they loved. Sesshomaru focused in on Kaida, but he couldn't get to her in time. The Mediou disappeared, and Kaida was taken along with it. Sesshomaru landed and growled angrily. KAIDA!
"The Mediou vanished?!" Jaken gasped.
"Kagome… Kaida…" The elderly woman gasped.
"Did Byakuya really cut Kagome and Kaida?" The young fox demon asked.
"Y-Yeah." Inuyasha answered.
"I saw him." The fox demon continued. "Byakuya of Illusions robbed the Mediou Zangetsuha's demonic energy."
And that is what allowed Kaida to be kidnapped?! Sesshomaru growled.
"The well." The elderly woman called.
"Kaeda?" The monk said, sounding a little shaken.
"What happened to the bone-eater's well?" The elderly woman asked.
Sesshomaru looked over to see the well was gone. "The well disappeared?!" Inuyasha gasped.
Is that what allowed Kaida to be taken?! Sesshomaru frowned.
"Maybe Kagome and Kaida were sent back to the world beyond the well?" The fox demon suggested.
"No." Inuyasha said darkly. "If Naraku wanted to get rid of Kagome, he would have done so sooner. But he went through all the trouble to reach this well. What did Naraku wish for in the end?!"
"He obviously wanted Kaida…" The monk said.
Sesshomaru growled.
The monk ignored Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha, what about the Shikon Jewel?"
Inuyasha suddenly drew Tetsusaiga. It glowed as the Mediou. Sesshomaru could already see what Inuyasha had planned and he got ready to move. "Mediou Zangetsuha!" Inuyasha swung the sword and created a huge slice of Mediou in the ground. At that same moment as Inuyasha Sesshomaru shot forward and jumped into the Mediou. Kaida! I will save you! I promise! Wait for me!
