A/N: Sorry that I'm drawing this out, but I remembered so much that I said I'd do and had to find a way to incorporate that. Sorry if you don't like it. But please read and review anyway.
Sesshomaru heard Shippo yell Kagome's name and turned to see Naraku sending several tentacles towards her. She turned around and they started to pierce through her skin. Sesshomaru acted on instinct and used his light whip to slice them in half and they fell to the ground.
"Kagome, are you okay?"
He asked as he got to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. They barely hit my skin before you got them."
She said and Sesshomaru sighed in relief.
"Kagura! Kanna!"
Naraku yelled and the two came forward. Sesshomaru growled at them, but noticed the solemn looks on their faces. They truly didn't want to do this, but they had to.
"Kagome, do what you can for these two. We will take care of things here."
Sesshomaru said and Kagome looked at him confused before nodding and heading off towards Naraku's castle.
"Stop her!"
Naraku yelled and Kagura half heartedly went after Kagome only to be stopped by Sesshomaru.
Kagome ran as fast as she could through the abandoned halls of Naraku's castle that sat nestled in Farcira's Forest. She didn't need to be told where to go, she could feel the two beating hearts of Kagura and Kanna just fine and was using that to lead her through the castle. She just hoped that Sesshomaru and the others could handle things until she got back. She threw open and door to reveal a room that looked like a throne room of sorts. She walked in and noticed there were two jars against the wall and her eyes widened when she saw the contents of each were beating.
'This is it.'
She thought before closing the door and putting a barrier around the room so Naraku wouldn't know what she was doing and stop her. She carefully pulled out both Kagura and Kanna's hearts and gently laid them on the floor. Then pulled out two rocks that were the same size. Kagome had already found a way to help Kagura and Kanna. She hovered her hands above Kanna's heart first. She felt the youkai within it pulse and Kagome smiled. Kanna could feel her from her place on the battle field and knew she was helping her. Kagome moved one hand above the stone the same size as Kanna's heart while keeping the other above her actual heart. She used her rekki and kekki both and transferred a bit of youkai to the rock and smiled when it transformed to look just like Kanna's heart. It even pulsed with the same kind of youkai, but it was after all, still just a rock. Kanna's heart disappeared and Kagome smiled as she knew it returned to its owner, then moved on to do the same to Kagura's. When she finished she put both 'hearts' back into the jars before lowering the barrier around the room and hurrying back to the battle field.
She got to the courtyard of the castle before she was stopped by none other than Kikyo. She had an arrow pointed at Kagome heart and she sighed.
"Really? You're going to kill me instead of killing Naraku? Do you not see what's wrong with that?"
Kagome asked and Kikyo simply laughed at her.
"I will be taking the soul that rightfully belongs to me, then I will kill Naraku."
Kikyo said before leveling her arrow and getting ready to fire.
"You know what, I am honestly getting tired of this."
Kagome said before drawing her dagger and charging at Kikyo. She ducked as the arrow flew at her and got behind Kikyo. She pressed the dagger to Kikyo's throat and held her arms down so she couldn't do anything.
"You know, I was perfectly fine with allowing you to live so that Inuyasha could find his happiness, but if you are going to continuously try to attack me to take my soul then I'll just kill you now. You're choice."
Kagome said and heard Kikyo growl.
"Fine, I'll stop."
Kikyo said and Kagome released her and started to head towards the main fight, when she felt something sharp hit her back. She howled as she felt the tingling sensation of being purified. Kagome reached back and pulled out Kikyo's arrow before turning to glare at the dead priestess.
"Okay bitch, now, you're gonna die."
Kagome said before charging at her. Kikyo drew another arrow, but Kagome was faster. She had knocked the bow and arrow from Kikyo's hands and pinned her to the ground with the dagger pressed against her throat once more.
"Please, think of Inuyasha."
Kikyo said, trying to beg for her life.
"I am."
Kagome said before she drew the dagger across the dead priestess' throat, killing her.
Kagome stood up and watched as Kikyo's body disappeared and the souls within were released. She saw a blue one just hovering above the ground and called it to her. It was hers after all. She felt her body glow with the warmth of her soul being returned to her.
"Thank you Kagome."
A voice said and Kagome looked up to see Kikyo's soul.
"Kikyo?"
Kagome asked confused and Kikyo smiled at her.
"Thank you. My soul had become corrupt and evil by having been brought back. Thank you for setting me free again. Tell Inuyasha, I love him."
Kikyo said before her soul disappeared. Kagome smiled as she watched the older priestess go before the sounds of the battle that was still being fought reached her ears. Kagome tightened her grip on her dagger as she ran towards her friends and worst enemy. It was about time they finished this.
