Breaking Apart

Every star in the sky was invisible. All that could be seen was blood piled on the soil tainting it with sin. Nobody was sleeping this night. Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and shippo were engaging in there most heated battle yet. Of course it was yet another hoard of Naraku's demon slaves.

Shippo had been practicing his Fox Fire for almost a year now. Perfecting all his moves to the last bolt. He was determined, it was written all over his face. As he grew in power he could now actually kill demons with his Fox Fire. Although he still was the weakest in the group, demons were starting to fear an encounter with Inuyasha's group.

Sango was fighting with her usual boomerang (please tell me someone how you spell it in Japanese...I can't find it hehe). But she also now can fight with her boomerang and sword at the same time. While she throws the boomerang she can kill about ten demons with her sword as well as about sixty with her boomerang. She was the last demon exterminator left, but also the most powerful to ever exist. She wasn't one to be foiled with.

Miroku with his wind tunnel was strong already. But now he has gotten the full advantage. While he is carefully sucking in demons with his right hand as to not point it at anyone in the group, especially Sango, he kills two demons with his every swing of his staff. Killing and mangling hundreds at once.

Kagome was by far the strongest. Inuyasha still believed she needed his help, but it was all a cover up. She had discovered her true Miko powers within. She could now kill more demons with her Sacred Arrows than Inuyasha could with his Wind Scar. She could hold out her hand and just by thinking she could blow them all up... Just like her arrows but with less work. But she pretended to be weak just so her love would rescue her. She was confident he felt the same.

Inuyasha was still using his Wind Scar. His sword still powerful and reckless. Always protecting Kagome and Kikyo. All others seemed to get better at fighting but he was dwindling. He missed Kikyo so much. Knowing she was alive, but yet out of his reach. Every time he laid eyes on kagome he was tempted by his mind that she was kikyo. Always his mind deceived him. Kagome always would turn up instead. But with that all in all he still could defeat hundreds of demons when they met mister Wind Scar.

"Inuyasha..." said an eerily calm voice.

"What do YOU want Sesshoumaru?!?" asked a hot headed Inuyasha as he killed more demons.

"I want to kill you, but first I think I will help you in battle... Just so I know I will be able to kill you and not Naraku." Sesshoumaru smirked.

"NO WAY" growled Inuyasha, "This is MY battle NOT YOURS!!!!!!"

"Just let him Inuyasha..." Kagome said in high voice, "We need all the help we can get." Even though she knew she could kill Naraku now. She just wanted Inuyasha to be happy.

Inuyasha was so mad at that statement, but when he turned to yell at kagome he saw kikyo again... He sighed, "ok" he said in a low voice.

The battle raged on for what seemed like weeks. Finally the demons started withering away in numbers. Soon the battle was over. With Sesshourmaru's help the battle went a little faster. When the dust settled it revealed even more terror.

"NARAKU!!!!!," they all yelled at once except Sesshoumaru.

"Well, I didn't want to disappoint you by letting you live so I've decided to kill you all now"

With that said Naraku looked at the Monk and gave him an evil grin. Then the Monk froze. Miroku looked at his Wind Tunnel. It still had prayer beads on it but...

"AHAHAHAHAHAH.....CURSE YOU NARAKU FOR THIS FOUL CURSE YOU LAYED UPON ME!!!!!!!!!!," With that said the Monk ran away from everyone as to not suck them in when he was engulfed. The time had come he felt his wrist go. And..

"SANGO!!!WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET AWAY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!"

"No...If you die I must die... I LOVE YOU!!!"

As that was said everyone witnessed their first and last kiss to be shared in this world. Everyone was wide eyed from what Sango did to prove her love. But as all bad things happen in the feudal Era, there was no time to grieve. War was still upon them.

"Two down" Naraku laughed with an evil hiss in his voice.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS," Kagome yelled surprising everyone.

Naraku laughed hysterically at the human wench. But his laugh was cut short by Kagome sticking her right hand in the air with her palm facing Naraku. He looked at her quizzically and with humor shown out of his evil red eyes.

"Die" was all kagome said was when pink radiated from her palm and engulfed him. The light was so bright that it looked even lighter than the sun. After a minute or two the light died down until it was pitch black again. When everyone's eyes finally got adjusted to the dark they were speechless. Within ten feet in all directions of where Naraku stood there was complete nothingness. The only thing left was dirt and even that was dug down about twenty feet.

"I'm surprised my reincarnation is so much stronger than I am" Kikyo said in a disappointed voice.

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha said surprised his mind isn't cheating him again. He ran to her and embraced her and kissed her deeply on the lips. "I have missed you so much, I, I can't believe your actually here!"

Kagome looked at the two and almost began to cry, "so you love Kikyo? You never loved me?"

"Kagome, how could I ever love you? Every time I look at you I see Kikyo. And you killed Naraku when you know I could have...You just wanted to show off your stuff!! Well," he turned to Kikyo, "I'm ready to go to hell with you my dearest love." And with that a funnel of wind went around the two as they kissed again and were sucked into the depths of hell. Shippo was standing to close, and being so light he lifted right in the funnel and sent to hell as well.

Kagome began to cry her heart out in deep forceful sobs. She turned to Sesshoumaru just to be able to tell someone, "I have nothing left! Sango and Miroku have been sucked into that void forever, Shippo!! Poor Shippo! He got sent to hell with Inuyasha!!(She couldn't bring herself to say Kikyo. For it hurt too much to say the name of the women her stole her loves heart) I have lost Inuyasha, and what hurts the most is that he never even loved me! Let alone like me!! I was just a precious Shard Detector!!!!!!!!!!" she began to cry even harder than before knocking herself on the ground with force.

Then unconsciously Sesshoumaru held her in his arm and soothed her with whispers and said, "You haven't lost everything. You haven't lost our friendship"

Kagome smiled at him while still crying. "Yea, I haven't lost everything" she thought. She knew she had just made a friend who really does care. Even if he's cold and heartless to everyone else. To her though, he was kind and caring.
