Bad Timing

Chapter Ten: Bad Timing

They could all see that her anger was raising beyond control, a mother protecting her child from every threat, and after everything she had seen happen between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru that was precisely what she saw Sesshoumaru as. As for Sesshoumaru in his arrogance he only noticed that she had made him bleed – a human, a pathetic puny human had made him, Lord of the West, bleed – he did not notice the red eyes and the claws, nor did he notice when the wind began to pick up around them, swirling around the clearing before it concentrated on Kagome’s form whipping her hair up and around in a swirl of black silk.

Inuyasha wanted to be down there between his friend and his half-brother, he wanted to protest and argue about what was going on even if he did not really understand, but he was not as dumb as everyone thought. He understood Kagome and her moods, even if he did not always use the knowledge wisely, he knew she was angrier than she had ever been before and that if he interfered this time it would more than hurt, it could be deadly. He had noticed in the past 24 hrs that she was not always in control, and although he did not know how, he knew she was going through more of a change than being pregnant. A change that became more apparent with the ill time arrival of Naraku.

Naraku arrive in his cloud of miasma right next to a barely controlled Kagome. His insidious laugh was barely passed his lips when he felt an impact in his chest. Looking down he saw a petite arm embed in his chest and he could feel the constriction on his demonic heart. Following the arm up to the face of it’s owner Naraku was very surprised to see Kagome with red eyes looking at him with contempt, though not nearly as surprised by that as by the hand in his chest.

“I have had enough of your evil schemes and plots. Your twisted manipulation of my friends and the pain you enjoy inflection on everyone is at an end.” Kagome growled squeezing the heart she held in her hand.

Trying to ignore the pain and stand there with his usual evil arrogant egotism was being to cost Naraku. Worse, he felt stupid for misjudging the situation, instead of Kagome being weaker as human bodies get trying to sustain the life of a demonic child she had gotten stronger, her purity now going hand in hand with a new demonic power that he had never heard of before. He could feel her poison seeping into his veins and he knew he had to get away or she would really kill him this time, even though his weak human heart was located somewhere else, and there would be no coming back. So he tried to bluff an angry miko.

“You think you can kill me, you could not before. Not one among your pathetic group is strong enough to kill me, especially since I have over half of the Shikon no tama, and if you don’t remove your hand I will kill them all this time Miko.” Naraku managed to get out with his usual venom.

The wind around Kagome picked up again obscuring both her and Naraku from everyone’s vision, but they could all hear clearly what she said to him.

“No Naraku, you won’t hurt anyone any more. I call to me the Shikon with in you and I forgive your trespass against those living and those that have passed and I release you soul from this body and plane, take with you those tainted by your blood and evil to stand before Bishamon and Emma-o.”

Inside the wind away from everyone’s sight Kagome began to glow a mixture of pink and green, her hand started to burn inside Naraku chest and he saw her in her full demonic glory. Her black her falling all the way to the ground fading from mid night black to purity pink at the tips, a green streak across her eyelids, two strips on each cheek starting red near her hair line and fading to pink as they angled toward her mouth, the same strips could be found on her wrists and her ankles. Her eyes were still red with a purple pupil and her skin had become a lighter shade of pale. It was the last sight he saw as he faded away.

As the wind around Kagome dissipated so did her demonic features leaving once more a young human woman. Kagome turned in time to watch as Kanna faded to dark returning to the void that was hers, mouthing thank you to the woman who had released her. Kagura went with a grateful smile and a storm of feathers, a free wind once more. Tears streaked Kagome’s human face as Naraku’s minions were freed from the prison of flesh he had made for them. The fight was over, her friends revenge settled; Naraku could no longer hurt anyone.

Kagome let the tears fall for the lives she had to take and in her tightly clenched hand Naraku’s chunk of the Shikon glowed pink once more, all of his evil purified from it’s depths. Kagome opened her hand looking down at it as her tears continued to flow falling from her face to bath the Shikon causing its glow to intensify until everyone was blinded by its bright glow. Even though Kagome could not see, she felt the glass jar she wore at her throat shatter as the other shards of the Shikon were attracted to the larger piece held in her hand like iron fillings to a magnet, making it whole once more.

Sesshoumaru was as equally as stunned as Naraku when Kagome hand disappeared into the evil half breed’s chest. It was her voice that brought him out of his shock, only for what he was seeing to send him right back to that state of being. He could feel his beasts purr vibrating inside of him at the sight of her demonic red eyes, the flash of her delicate fangs as she spoke and the lethal gleam of her claws at the tips of dainty fingers on the hand that was not occupying Naraku’s chest. Sesshoumaru almost laugh when Naraku threatened to kill every one, even he knew better than to do that from the few encounters they had had. The girl could pull amazing power when her friends where threatened, not that it ever had made him respect her more before. It was as the wind picked up obscuring her from his sight that he felt it, the slight shift in scent and aura. He could feel it, like lightening crackling through their bond to the centre of his being. She was becoming a full demon, meaning his son would not be a half breed. He was elated even as he watched Kanna and Kagura’s demise.

His attention was quickly brought back to Kagome when he smelt the salt from her tears. His demon raged inside him in response to her sorrow wanting nothing more than to wrap itself around her and comfort her. Yet even as he stepped forward the blinding light of the Shikon held him in place. He heard the shattering glass and felt the overwhelming burst of power that came from the completion of the Shikon No Tama.
