I Won't Let You Go

Chapter One

Last Fight

"Kaze No Kizu!" screamed Inu-Yasha as he let Tetsusaiga's power at Naraku.

"You fool, I won't be killed that easily," chuckled Naraku, who dodged the attack.

Inu-Yasha growled in anger. "You bastard,"

This was it, the final battle with Naraku, it had all come down to this. They were fighting a fully powered Naraku who had a complete Shikon No Tama glowing in his body.

"Inu-Yasha!"

Shifting his eyes slightly Inu-Yasha could see Kagome and Miroku running towards him.

"How's Sango?"

"She's's fine, Kirara is looking after her, but her wound isn't that bad," informed Miroku.

"Good, now we just have to deal with this bastard," growled Inu-Yasha.

Kagome stood behind the half demon and stared at the corpses lying on the ground. Kagura and Kanna were not to far away from them, but the one that she did not want to look at was Koga's. The wolf demon had tried his best to defeat Naraku, but he was dead by the time they had arrived at Naraku's castle.

"Prepare to die Naraku!" screamed Inu-Yasha as he lunged at the demon with his sword raised.

"You fool!" laughed Naraku as he dodged the sword, and stuck his arm through Inu-Yasha's stomach.

"Inu-Yasha!" screamed Kagome and Miroku.

Inu-Yasha was thrown back and skidded to a stop at Kagome's feet. Kneeling down Kagome examined Inu-Yasha's wound. There was a puddle of blood surrounding him, and blood running down from his mouth.

"Inu-Yasha! Please say something,"

"Keh, he couldn't . . . kill me if he tried," said Inu-Yasha weakly.

Kagome smiled slightly and glared at Naraku, "I'll never forgive you Naraku," cried Kagome as she released her miko arrow.

Naraku's eyes widened as he barely missed the arrow. "Wench," he snarled as he lunged forward and grabbed Kagome by the throat.

"Kagome!" screamed Miroku, who ran forward to save her, but was thrown back by Naraku, hitting his head on a rock.

"Kagome . . ." said Inu-Yasha weakly.

"Hmm, with the full Shikon No Tama, I am unstoppable, and . . ." Naraku was interrupted as Kagome's foot hit the demon across the face.

His grip on her throat tightened as he wiped the small trickle of blood from his mouth, "Too bad wench, I was going to give you a quick death, but you changed my mind," said Naraku throwing the miko to the ground.

Inu-Yasha tried to get up but was knocked back down by Naraku, "Just stay there Inu-Yasha, I will kill you in a minu . . ." Naraku was cut off as another arrow took off his left should and arm. He turned around to see Kagome on her knees, her bow in her hand as she reached for another arrow. "Oh no you . . ."

"Hiraikutso!" (I think that's how you spell it,"

Naraku's eyes widened as his right arm was taken off.

Sango came flying on Kirara's back with Shippo in her arms.

"You . . ." another piercing pain came from his back as Miroku had thrusted his staff through Naraku's gut.

"Never underestimate us!" screamed Inu-Yasha who finally got to his feet and leaped into the air, "Kaze No Kizu!"

Naraku was enveloped into the attack and disinigrated to dust. Kagome slowly crawled over to Naraku's pile of dust and retrieved the complete Shikon No Tama.

A gasp came from Miroku as he removed the prayer beads from his right hand. He stared at his hand and watched as the air void slowly closed until it completely disappeared.

"Yeah! We won! We won!" cried Shippo.

Inu-Yasha fell to his knees an used his sword to support him.

"Are you alright?" asked Kagome.

"Feh, I'm fine it's just a flesh wound,"

A low rumble caught everyone's attention as the castle slowly started to crumble.

"Let's get out of here!" screamed Miroku.

Kagome helped Inu-Yasha to Kirara as they all flew away into the night sky.

"How's that Sango?" asked Kagome as she adjusted the bandages on Sango's back.

"Much better, thank you Kagome," said Sango, lying back down.

"Miroku how are you doing?" asked Kagome.

"Fine, I just really have a little bump on the head,"

"Alright, well I have to head back home for a while,"

"You will come back, right?" asked Shippo.

"Yes I will, but I'm not sure when. I have a few more exams to take before I'm done school, so maybe in a week or two at the least," said Kagome as she gathered all her things into her familiar yellow bag. "By the way where is Inu-Yasha?"

Everyone looked around Kaede's hut and realized that he wasn't in the room.

"That's strange, he was here a minute ago," said Sango.

"Well tell him I'll be back in a while, bye guys!"

"See you later Kagome," said the others as they watched her walk out the door.

Kagome sighed and started to head back to the well. She stared at the completed Shikon No Tama around her neck and smiled. ^Finally, now I won't have to miss any more school and I can see my friends on the weekends^ thought Kagome as she made her way through Inu-Yasha's forest. Looking at her watch she started to pick up her pace. She had a date tonight, and of course it was with Hojo. Kagome started to wonder what they were going to see tonight at the movies. Lately, her and Hojo had become kind of serious in their relationship, but Kagome wasn't sure if he was the right one. She couldn't deny that she still had feelings for Inu-Yasha. Even after three years of knowing that he had chosen Kikyo, she still loved him. She had tried to forget about it, to forget her feelings for him . . . but every time she thought she did, he would be nice to her, or even when she looked into his golden eyes the feeling would suddenly come back. She had then tried dating with Hojo. It helped a little, but still the feeling remained. Kagome's thoughts were interrupted as she heard something overhead. Looking up into the night sky, she noticed a soul catcher flying ahead of her to the god tree. Kagome immedialty stopped. She now knew were Inu-Yasha was . . . he was with Kikyo. Trying to hold back her tears, she immedialty went to the well, not wanting to see the sight of Kikyo in Inu-Yasha's arms. As she reached the bone eaters well, she glanced one more time at the god tree where the soul catchers were heading. Sighing, she jumped into the well back to her home, and was unaware of the half demon watching her in a near by tree.

TBC . . .

Ok not bad for the first chapter I guess. To let you guys know this is my fifth fic. My first two turned out all right, but my third and fourth ones really sucked (Darkness Returns and Skating + Skiing + Inu-Yasha= Trouble with a capital 'T') But hopefully this one will turn out better. So please review and tell me if I should continue this story or not. Just to let you know, pairings are not written in stone here, however they are for Sango and Miroku just to let you know.
