Chapter 16

"Kurama! Kagome! "

Just in time, the two jumped away from the oncoming tentacle of the ever disgusting Naraku and was able to fend back an attack from Yami and Kuro. Hiei was currently cleaning up some lower class demons surrounding them. Sango was fighting Kanna and Kagura but she never failed to check on how things were with the couple.

Yes, here they all are, in a clearing and almost like old times, they battle Naraku and his new minions. Yes, Sango found them that morning under a tree, sleeping without a care in the world. At first, she was ready to plummet them both into the ground for worrying her to no end. However, she refrained from doing it because she was also happy that her surrogate sister finally found someone who can actually care for her.

In truth, she envied Kagome but decided that she will stay strong for a little while longer. After her talk with the Jaganshi, Sango realized that she wasn't the only one having trouble with the two. Well, that's life…

Anyway, about Shippo, he was said to be told by Naraku that... whew… that he was not to fight until they (Naraku, Yami, Kuro and the others) were in a tight situation. Gladly, he obeyed and did not show up.

Okay, well Kurama just aimed for Kuro's leg and was punched by Yami. Kagome growled and went for the brothers only to be blocked by Naraku's tentacles and his miasma. Coughing through the polluted smoke, she charged him and managed to land a fatal blow on his chest. Smirking, she did a twirl and ALMOST cut the hanyou in half.

Kurama was proud of her and decided that he will not fall behind her surprising progress. He kicked Yami in the head and lashed his whip towards the arm of Kuro, slicing it and separating the limb from his body. Blood gushed out and stained Kurama's cheek a little. Kuro was screaming his lungs out. Staring down in disdain as his enemy cursed, Kurama was about to strike them both down to end this but as he caught a glimpse of Kagome's situation…

(With Kagome…)

However, just as she was preparing to finish her kill, Inuyasha appeared with Tetsuaiga raised. Jumping back just in time, Kagome summoned her Ken no Aoihonoo (A/N: Weird and not to mention corny, I know but I can't find anything else for the bloody thing :) and defended herself from his impact. Taken aback by her sudden retaliation, Inuyasha was left vulnerable. Seeing this opportunity, Kagome kicked him in the groin.

Overcome by the excruciating pain, he doubled over and foolishly dropped Tetsuaiga to the side. Kagome felt pity but immediately pushed it aside as she did so with his treasured sword. It returned to its rusted old form after being cast aside by its wielder. Kagome pressed the pressure point on his neck and made him loose consciousness. Turning, to face Naraku once more, a sword was plunged into her stomach and lifted her off the ground. She coughed up blood and started hyperventilating.

The bloody hanyou filth had stabbed his weapon into her and now, marveling at the blood coming from her mouth. How masochistic could a hanyou get? Anyway, Naraku twisted the sword inside her and made her gasp. Amused by this, he was about to do more but was stopped by a flying boomerang. Jumping backwards, Naraku was attacked by Hiei. A wound appeared on his side and as Naraku started to retaliate, he was sliced into bits by the famous rose whip.

Letting a smirk creep to his face, Naraku turned into another puppet. Sango cursed and hurried over to Kagome who was intoxicated at the moment. Hiei scoffed at the spinelessness of the bastard and turned to face the now, raging Kurama. Kurama saw the impact and without warning, he went into rage. Feeling no remorse whatsoever, he killed Kuro and Yami. Well, like Naraku they, too turned into puppets. Not caring about them at the moment, he sped off to try and stop the assault but he was too late…

Kanna and Kagura left with Inuyasha while the group was preoccupied with the condition of Kagome. She was bleeding badly so they had to take the girl back to the suite they stayed at but the only things there were smoke and the building remnants. Sensing trouble, they all headed towards a safe place and distance that was away from there. After 5 minutes, there was some sort of earthquake and it caused the total collapse of the building.

"Damn, you Naraku!" cursed Sango. She looked over at her sister who was in the arms of Kurama securely. Shaking her head at their predicament, Sango sighed deeply. Hiei noticed her but decided to talk to her later. They went back to the house of Kagome and treated her there. Good thing it was still there though.

All day Sango did nothing but worry about Kagome. Hiei was getting annoyed so he went outside again. Kurama grew impatient with the former taijiya's pacing and kindly asked her to wait outside. Sango was aware that she worried over nothing but…

Anyway, Hiei appeared again and sat up in a tree. Sango sat beneath it and they felt less tense now than before… but there was no one and no reason why they fight…

While all this was happening, Yusuke and Kuwabara were called by Koenma therefore they couldn't make it to the fight...

TBC…
