   REST OF MY FANFIC: (In loving memory of Marta-chan...ToT)

Chapter: 38, Kagura Reborn! (Directed by Inu Kaido):
Both of their faces grew grim. My father's grim face looked so sad, it looked like it wasn't even his face. There was a heavy tension between the three of us until Sesshoumaru spoke.
"Kagome tried to help you during your battle with Jakotsu. She told you where his weak spot was..., and for that she paid the price." he said in a deep haorse voice.
"What do you mean that she paid the price?" I asked cluelessly.
"I don't know if I should tell you."
"What? What happened to Kagome!?"
"She's dead, Inu Kaido. Bonkotsu beheaded her. She's not with us anymore." Father spoke.
Dad his his face behind his hair, but I could see tears streaked his face. I could tell that he was lost without her. I knew I should have resented Kagome like Kaida, but I felt that she was a part of my family now also. I felt hopeless now since Father lost all hope. I fell to my knees, shocked, and stared off into deep silence for a while.
"Let us free, Inu Kaido." Sesshoumaru ordered.
"Well how did you get caught?" I asked persistently.
"After Kagome was killed, Inu Yasha and you were both knocked unconscious. Renkotsu and Suikotsu ran off with the girls that were still alive. I tried to run after them, but in no time was I knocked off my feet and caught." he said.
"And when did this happen?"
"Yesterday."
"Yesterday!? What the heck!? I've been unconscious for almost two days!?" I cried.
"Calm down." Sesshoumaru ordered.
"Alright."
"Now, I have a plan. You disguise yourself as Jakotsu again, and lead us down the hallways to find the girls."
"How will I get away with leading you?"
"Think. If you're Jakotsu, you'd be able to have acess with the captives. Just lead us like you're going to do something bad to us. Lead us like we're prisoners. Got it?"
"'Kay."
I once again disguised myself as Jakotsu and snuck Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha out as prisoners. I was a little worried at first, but then I got used to it. we checked almost two halls worth of rooms, but yet still we weren't able to find the girls. After almost a full hour of hunting, and no girls to be found, I wandered my way into the west wing. There it was dark, and suspisciously quiet. I lead my father and half uncle down the dark hallway, telling them to keep an eye out. Half way down the wing, I saw a bend coming up, and went to turn, but when I turned Bonkotsu pulled out in front of me! I started to panic.
"Hey, Jakotsu, what're yuh doin' with 'em?" Bonkotsu asked, almost seeming a bit drunk.
Then I remembered that I looked like Jakotsu, and all of my worries went away as I played the role of Jakotsu.
"Oh, nothing, Bonkotsu. I just wanted a little fun with the two of them, that's all." I giggled like Jakotsu would've.
"Oh, I see. Gettin' a little restless, huh?" he laughed," Well what about Inu Yasha's boy? I thought you were playin a game with 'im?"
"Yes, I am, but I just wanted to see what a four-some would seem like." I giggled.
"Ha! Good one! Hope yuh four have fun!" he laughed, giving me a great big hug.
"Tee hee!" I giggled again, hugging him back.
"I'll letcha go now. Don't wanna take your time away." he murmured.
"'Kay! Buh bye!" I waved as I watched him walk down the hall.
I turned into the other bend, still being cautious. Then I heard someone comming, so I ran into an empty room with my father and Sesshoumaru close behind. The person stopped in front of the door that led to the room we were in. There was another person with them, but it seemed to be a female.
"Listen to me. Do as I say, and bring Jakotsu to me." the voice said.
"Yes, Naraku." the female spoke.
Naraku! That was Naraku who was right outside that door!? And he wanted me!? I paniced again, and almost hypervenalated, but luckily, Dad had my back and tried to keep me calm.
"Naraku, what is my fate?" teh female asked in a cold voice.
"Your fate is to serve me forever." Naraku answered.
"Do you love me?" she asked.
"No, of course not,...Kagura." he said.
Kagura! That was Kagura outside of the door, too!? I turned to see Sesshoumaru. His face was in shock. His mouth wide agape, his eyes bulged out, his breathing fainted, and his eyes watered.
Naraku left. I felt a bit calmer, but not all that calm. I took a heavy sigh accidentily, causing a sound to stir. I heard Kagura gasp. I also heard her turn her body towards the door, as if to open it. She hesitated. Then she went ahead and opened it wide, and found me with Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha on the floor. She stared. Then she spoke coldly.
"Jakotsu, Naraku would like to have a word with you. And next time, be sure to make yourselves decent."
"Well, excuse me! I'm not the one who barged in here rudely without knocking!" I defended.
"You should still no better. Use the room that was given to you to do your buisness in. Not the rooms that belong to Naraku."
"Fine. So where did Naraku say he wanted to meet me?" I asked.
"He wanted you to meet him in his chambers."
"Okey dokey!" I giggled.
Kagura shut the door again and walked away. My father and Sesshoumaru were both in shock from seeing her alive. Dad quickly snapped out of the daze, but not Sesshoumaru. I had to smack Sesshoumaru under the chin to get his attention. He flinched in pain, rubbing his hand on the spot that was injured.
"Was that really Kagura?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I think." Dad said.
"But how? I thought you said she was killed by someone, Sesshoumaru." I said.
"She was. I held her dead body in my arms. I sliced her flesh apart to deliver her child. She was stone dead."
"I guess not anymore."
"Naraku probably brought her back to tourment her." Dad said.
"I hope not."
"Let's get off of that subject. I have to o meet with Naraku. What should I do?" I asked worriedly.
"Go see Naraku. We'll stay here if you want." Dad suggested.
"Okay, I guess."
I walked out of the small room and down towards Naraku's room. I wasn't exactly sure where it was, but I could sense a strong demonic aura comming from the other hallway. I walked down the hall and entered Naraku's chamber. I knocked briefly.
"Come in, my dear Jakotsu." he mudered.
I walked over to him where he was sitting on his cushions made of silk.
"Sit down." he ordered.
I sat down in front of him. Now we were face to face.
"What is it, Lord Naraku?" I asked.
"I want you to kill those girls for me. I would have Suikotsu do it, but he's not feeling the best. So I want you to." he ordered.
"Whatever you ask, I will." I bowed.
"You may go."
"Thank you."
I walked out of his room and down the hall back towards the room where Father and Sesshoumaru were. On my way I thought of what a perfect oppurtunity Naraku had given me. To save my sister and Sesshoumaru's girls.
Chapter: 39, Kaida & Kaido Reunited At Long Last (directed by Inu Kaido):
I walked down the hall back towards where I left Sesshoumaru and Dad. When I entered the room, I saw Dad flintch in fear, not knowing if it were me or some enemy. But when he saw my face in the light, he calmed down.
"So what did Naraku need?" Dad asked.
"He wanted Jakotsu to kill the girls & Kaida." I responded.
"So in other words he want you to kill the girls for him?" Sesshoumaru said.
"No. Of course I won't kill them. I'll just sneak down there like I'm Jakotsu, and when I'm there, I'll set them free so they could escape. See, Sesshoumaru, perfect plan!"
"But what if the girls don't trust you in your disguise?" he asked.
"Well then I'll just take it off."
"Okay then. Go ahead." Dad said.
"Thanks, Dad & Sesshoumaru! I'll get them out perfectly! I promise!" I waved as I walked out the room and closed the door behind me.
I walked down the long wing until I bumped into Renkotsu.
"Hey, what're you doing down at this wing?" he asked.
"I'm just trying to find where you guys locked those girls at..." I answered.
"Oh, them? They're down in Kagura's hall, remember?"
"Oh, yeah, I remember now! Silly me!" I joked.
"Yeah, but why do you want to know where the girls are? Are you turning straight, Jakotsu!?" Renkotsu laughed.
"Ha! You wish! No, I think Inu Yasha and his son are my one and only loves. Naraku asked me to kill them, so that's why I'm wondering where they are."
"Oh, no problem. Good luck! Just make sure Kagura doesn't catch you. She more of a bitch than she was before she was reborn! Ha!" he laughed.
"Thanks, Renkotsu!" I waved as I walked down towards Kagura's hall.
'Reborn'? What did he mean by that? Was Kagura really back from the dead? Or was she ever dead to begin with? I asked myself over and over again wandering the halls for my sister.

Finally I came to Kagura's hall. I saw where her room was, and I saw where the cell was. I made my way down the small, dark, and eerie hall to the cell chamber. There was a large door made of broonze and gold. It must've been two times larger than me. The handles on the door were engraved with Japanese characters that I couldn't quiet read because of it being so dim. Also on the handles there were little devils with sharp fangs and bulging eyes laying on the stomachs, clinging to the broonze pipe.
I pulled open the door with great strength. I swung them open and immediately saw Kaida's face. It looked beaten. She had blood splattered all over her, stringy hair, skin pale, and her rosey pink lips were now a ghostly white along with her skin color. I saw Rin & Ai and they almost looked perfectly fine. But why did Kaida look like such a mess?
I stepped towards my sister, only to see her reacting in the strangest manner. she kicked, screamed, his, clawed, and bit me! After trying to fight her off for a minute or so, I finally gave her a light slap on the cheek. She whimpered, but only a bit.
"Do you wanna get me killed!?" I yelled in a whisper tone.
"What do you mean, you bastard!? You're the one whose come here to kill us!" she cried.
"Kaida, it's me, Inu Kaido."
"You wish! You'll never be my onii-chan!" she kicked.
"No, I'm serious, Kaida! Listen to me! I'm your brother!"
"If you're truely my brother, then you'll know what I'm thinking! Go on, tell me what my thoughts are!" she sobbed.
"You're thinking why were you ever born. Why did you have to be who you are. How do you get out of here alive. Those are your thoughts."
She gazed up at me with shocked eyes.
"Onii-chan...?" She asked in a weak whisper.
She fell to her knees.I bent down on mine and held her in my arms.
"That's right Kaida. I'm Onii-chan. You can trust me." I whispered hugging her pale tiny body.
"What happened to me, Brother?" she cried weakly.
"I don't know..."
"My beauty's gone."
"No it's not. Maybe for the time being, but soon enough you'll have your strength and beauty back." I comforted her.
"Thank you, Brother..." She hugged me.
"Your welcome..."
"Brother, why are you in such a disguise?" she asked.
"Because I needed one to come down here to you. I already killed the original Jakotsu."
"That's good. He scared you. He was trying to hit on you, I could tell. I don't want anyone else but me looking at you, okay?"
"Okay." I smiled faintly.
"Brother, no matter what hapens will we always be together?"
"Of course."
"Even after death?"
"...Yeah."
"If I died, would you live on?"
"No. I'd die right along with you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"I love you, Inu Kaido..."
"I love you to Kaida..."
We held eachother in eachother's arms for a short while after that.
Chapter: 40, Kaida's Feelings (Directed by Kaida):
Kaido felt so warm against my cold skin. Before he came I was drowning in my thoughts. I thought he wouldn't come to save me. I thought he'd forget about me. But I was wrong thankfully. He did come. And he promised we'd always be together. No matter what, we'll always be together.
Before he came I was dying. I was starving, I was cold, I was tired, and I was beaten down after trying to fight Suikotsu. When I saw Kagome die, I wanted to scream and cry so hard, but couldn't. It was like I had these strong feelings-- so strong I couldn't even express them. I couldn't feel any tears streaking my face. I could only feel my face pale.
When there's something so overwhelming, I just don't know how to react. I feel like bawling out and crying, but I never do. I just exist with no expression on my face whatsoever, even though inside I'm crying out loud.
Whenever my brother's away, I feel so sad, and weak. And now I'm hidious because I love him to much. I wanted him when I should've stayed silent and under control for Suikotsu. But now I don't have to worry anymore, because he pormised he'd never leave me again. And that feeling makes me feel warm inside. It makes my chest glow red hot with love. I know that it's wrong of me to love him so much, but I just do. I could never live without him. I just want to make him happy. And when he's happy, I'll be happy as well. And then we can be happy together forever in eternity. We'll be the happiest sinners in the universe.
Chapter: 41, My Mother Kikyou's Sunshine Spell (directed by Kaida):
Kaido Lifted me onto his shoulder. He barkered orders to Rin & Ai, telling them to follow him. They did as he said with just a slight hint of fear in their eyes. They were afraid what would happen if we stepped out the doors of that hideous chamber.
We tiptoed down Kagura's hall and all around. We walked on for minutes that seeme like hours. Then we found a door! Rin & Ai raced for it and ran outside into the sunshine that they had been denied for only a short while. Onii-chan set me down on my feet.
"Kaida, I want you to take Rin and Ai back to Mother's. I also want you to find Jaken and the baby and take them with you, too. Then I want you to go into the woods where you were kidnapped. I want you to wait there for further notice." he ordered.
"Alright..." I murmured.
"Good. Be careful though. And don't worry, we'll only be seperated for only half of a day."
"Okay, I'll do it."
I walked over to Rin and Ai to tell them what we were going to do. Rin seemed excited because she had heard some rumors about my mother, Kikyou. Ai just noded her head without thought. We headed off towards my home where I grew up in. It was about an hour later when we found Jaken and the new baby underneath an old pine tree. I gestured them to follow. Jaken asked not one question for me, but followed behind. It was noon when we reached my mother's house.
We walked inside the small home that I once called my own.
"Mother! Mother Kikyou, I'm home!" I called out for her.
There was silence before she answered back.
"Kaida! You're back! Hold on a second and I'll be right with you!" she shouted from the back yard.
"'Kay!"
I told Rin and Ai to make themselves at home. I sat them at out meal table and gave them each a glass of fresh milk. Ai chugged it down as if it were the best thing she had ever drank! Rin took small sips and savored the flavor of the creamy yet silky liquid. Jaken set himself down on the floor next to the fireplace (though there was no fire burning). He held Kagura's baby close in his arms like it was a tiny treasure he'd never let go of.
Mother came in from the back yard and seated herself beside Rin. She gestured for me to come and sit on her lap, which of course I did.
"So what brings you back here so early? Your father said you'd be gone for a long while. And who are these two little angels?" she asked as she smiled at the two girls drinking their warm milk.
"Mother, we've bumped into a lot of trouble and I need to hide these four here. You see Inu Kaido, Daddy, and Uncle Sesshoumaru are still trapped at Naraku's! And Onii-chan asked me to bring these four here so they'd be safe from harms way! And Kagome died! And my hands are stained with her blood! Momma, I need your help!" I cried into her arms feelings of self pity flooded me.
She held me close in her arms and kissed my stringy hair, as she stroked my back with her gentle hands.
"Don't worry my baby... I'll help you. I'll make you more beautiful than ever. I'll be these four's gardian angel along with your mother. I can do whatever you want me to do to help. But please don't cry. It hurts when you cry. It makes me feel like I'm not helping." she soothed.
"But, Momma, you're perfect. You could never fail me."
"Thank you, Kaida. Why don't you clean yoursef up while I prepare a meal for all of us?" she smiled lovingly.
"Alright." I kissed her cheek as I stood up and strode into the shower room.
I undressed myself quickly and jumped into the shower. I was sure to fill the bucket up with boiling hot water. I jumped in and pulled the handle, and the water streamed down onto my bare skin making it turn red and burnt. This was how I took all of my showers. All the blood was sliding off my skin and drained into the floor pipe. I reached for my mother's home made shampoo that I had always used when I was a little girl. I squeezed the bottle to find yellow slime ooze out of the bottle. I rubbed the slime into my hair a rinsed and lathered for a couple moments. The water ran out and out of the shower I hopped. I shaked my body to get all of the water droplets off. My hair immediately dried, and I could feel my skin color comming back. I looked in the mirror that hung by the pump and saw the most beautiful vision of myself I'd ever seen before. I was truely more beautiful than before. Mother had kept her promise to make me more beautiful. A big smile lit my face. I quickly ran to my room wearing nothing but a tiny towl to cover my privates. In my room I found one of Onii-chan's old blue outfits that would fit me. I speedily slipped it on. I looked kindda just like Onii-chan!-- but only I had breasts! I grabbed my old sword that Father once gave me when I was young. I raced into the meal room and called surprise out.
"Surprise! Mother, you're fantastic! Look at my hair! It's more light in weight and darker in color than it ever was before! it's gorgious!" I jumped.
"Yes, you do look beautiful, but why do you have to wear that old thing? I thought Inu Kaido threw that old ratty outfit out long ago."
"Because I have to disguise myself! I need this outfit more than ever!"
"Alright."
"Mother, I'm sorry to say this, but I can't stay for much longer. I have to leave soon, because if not, Onii-chan will wonder where I am..." I sighed.
"Alright, you can go, but first give me a kiss goodbye."
I kissed her cheek tenderly and hugged her goodbye. I hugged and kissed Rin and Ai as well as I kissed the baby's forehead. I waved everyone goodbye and raced out the door towards the woods where Onii-chan had told me where we'd meet.
Chapter: 42, Kagura's Surprise (directed by Kaido):
While Kaida was away I was able to get Sesshoumaru and Dad out safe without any problems. I had also ditched the Jakotsu disguise and was myself again. Now we had to escape this place and find Kaida in the woods.
We raced off towards there. Just before evening we arrived at the woods' entrance to find my younger sister dressed exactly like me-- but only she had breasts. She looked like her old self-- or maybe even more beautiful than that! I ran over to her and hugged her close.
"Onii-chan, I took care of everything. the girls are safely at home with Mother, and Jaken and the baby are safe as well." she smiled lovingly.
"Good. That means alot." I smiled back lifting her up off her feet.
There was a long silence for a moment or two.
"There's someone here." Sesshoumaru whispered.
"Who?" I asked surprised.
"Someone whose quiet and stealth." Sesshoumaru said.
"Kagura." Dad said.
"Kagura? She'd never spy on us." Sesshoumaru argueed.
"Sesshoumaru, Dad might be right!" I yelled.
Then it hit- a flying axe flew out of the trees and lopped off Sesshoumaru's right arm! And that arm was the only arm he had left! He howled in pain.
"What the hell!? Who are you, show yourself!" Dad cried.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Kagura's voice said.
"Kagura!? But why!?" Sesshoumaru cried.
"You killed me, Sesshoumaru! You killed me!" she cried.
"I did not! That annoying boy killed you, not I! I would never harm you!"
"That's not what my memory recalls! You killed me! You stabbed me in the heart!"
"I would never harm you, Kagura!" he cried.
"Then why do I have that memory!? Because of you, I'm no longer free!" she cried and fell to her knees.
"Kagura, I--" Sesshoumaru was cut off.
Kagura had sliced his head off! Sesshoumaru was dead! How could this happen!? I cried out loud not knowing what else to do as Kaida fell to her own knees and grew pale.
"Kagura! That was Naraku who killed you, not Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru's the one that helped bore your son! Damn you for slaying him! Damn you!" Father cried.
"My... son?" she asked.
"Yes, Kagura! You are a mother! You ahve a son! And yuo have Ai, too! Did you forget?!" Kaida yelled.
"Ai...?"
"Yes, Ai! Your daughter! Sesshoumaru's daughter! What will she think when she finds out her father, Sesshoumaru is dead, and her mother figure killed him!?" I cried.
"I didn't know..."
"Kagura, what you were seeing were nothing but implanted memories. Nothing more. Once again you were tainted by power by Naraku." Dad said.
"Damn him!" she cried.
Kagura rushed away into the darkness of the woods.
Chapter: 43, Last Fight Part 1 (directed by: Kaida):
I was furious that Kagura had just waltzed in our territory and killed her lover, Sesshoumaru! If it was the last thing I ever did, I'd make sure that she was dead! I hissed, accidentily revealing my fangs. Me showing my fangs mean that I'm either angry or being protective. Father saw my fangs.
"Kaida, you put those away. That's not very lady like." he argueed.
"Now's not the time to be lady like, Father!" I hissed.
"Kaida, don't get so over worked over it! Don't worry about it. Sesshoumaru can be happy now." Onii-chan said.
"But he won't be! he left Rin and Ai all alone!" I cried.
"But they have Kagura and our mother to care for them! We can care for them!"
"Yeah, and my brother also has his firt love up there with him as well. Him and Sara will protect us, I'm sure of it." Dad said.
"they better! It's because of him that we're all in this mess anyway! It was his whole plan to begin with!" I cried.
"I know."
"Dad, aren't you one bit sad for everyone that we lost!? What about Kagome, Kirara, Kagura, Sesshoumaru, Sora!? What about them?" Onii-chan yelled.
"How dare you say I don't feel sorry!? I might not look it because a man has to keep his gaurd up at all times! A man has to be strong always! But deep down I'm crying my heart out for Kagome! So don't you dare yell at me! And Inu Kaido, doesn't seem to me that you're much of a man with those tears streaking your face." Father said coldly.
"Not much of a man?! At least I have the heart of a lamb instead of one of a monster unlike you!" he shot back.
"Not the heart of a lamb-- a human. And I'm demon. You get that right next time, boy." he scolded.
"Father, how can you say that about him!? He's stuck up for you for all of these years! He's just trying to help! Why can't you see that!?" I cried.
"Kaida! you stay out of this, girl!" Papa yelled giving me a scornful gaze.
I cringed back. Onii-chan shot back in my defense.
"What the hell's wrong with you, Pop!? She's just trying to bring peace and you tell her to scram!? What kind of father are you!?" Onii-chan yelled with a rebelious look in his eye.
"Fight Naraku on your own, for damned if I help you. I want to see you on your knees, crying for my help. Until that day, I'll have nothing to do with you!" Father cried.
Daddy ran away back towards his friends. I cried in Onii-chan's arms as he held me close. The wind started to howl and all of the sudden it became cold and dark. It was night and we had to make camp. But before we did, Onii-chan burried Sesshoumaru's body respectfully by where Kagura's old body was. We built a fire and cuddled close together by the flames, huddled up underneath three layers of thick fuzzy blankets that my mother gave me for my trip.
That night it snowed. Snowed so hard it was arctic out. Inu Kaido and I had to start heading back towards Naraku's at three o'clock in the morning. We had to keep moving or our bodies could possibly freeze to death.
It was dawn when ew arrived at the castle. We were expecting to take them by surprise, but Bonkotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu were standing in front of the large door that lead into the grand mansion. The looked cold and bitter.
"'Bout time you two showed up!" Bonkotsu called out.
"We'd never back down from someone like you, Bonkotsu." I answered.
"I always like a girl with a nice sense of humor and style." he laughed.
"I noticed. To bad I'm not that type of girl."
"Aw, c'mon. Why you gotta be so down in the dumps like that?"
"Burn in hell you pig!" I screamed.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the doggie bed this morning!" Renkotsu teased.
"Shut up you slease ball!" Onii-chan yelled drawing out his sword.
"I'm so scared." Suikotsu joined.
I drew my sword out, too.
"Gonna kill us are you?" Bonkotsu asked.
"Hell yeah! I'm going to take you down personally, Bonkotsu!" I laughed cynically.
"That's the girl I'm talking about!" he laughed.
I stepped closer and withdrew my sword back into it's sheath, only to bring out my poison talons. Bonkotsu smiled a little to see my change in tactics. He jumped off the stair and landed beside me facing the opposite side.
"Bring it on, baby." he whispered in my ear.
Chapter: 44, Last Fight Part 2 (directed by: Kaida):
We both jumped backwards to do a stand off. He drew out his weapon-- the same weapon that took Kagome's head from her neck.
We both jumped up at the same time as if it were timed exactly. His blade collided with my talons and a splash of bright light seperated us by force. We made a giant collision. He lifted his blade up and swung it into the air. I jumped up and blocked his attack, only to land on his back. He surprisingly flung his sword back and stabbed it through my thigh. I squealed.
"Damn you!" I cried from the pain.
"Like that, huh? I can give you more." he laughed.
"You're going to die in a minute." I smiled cunningly to confuse him.
"I think you have that mixed up, you're the one whose about to die at my feet, not I at your's." he laughed.
"Burn in hell."
"You wish, princess."
I spit on his feet. He lifted me up by holding only my neck. Then he flung me across the way. I crashed into Renkotsu. I quickly jolted up and ran speedily back at him, pointing my talons straight out-- almost as if I were a strinking arrow ready to pierce a man's flesh. I faintly smiled. I ran, ran, ran, and then-- Splat! I had stuck my arms straight through his body.
"Like my body, huh?" he laughed.
"Yeah, baby. It's the hottest one I've ever explored. My skin's crawling with excitement. I just love being under your skin, hun." I joked.
"Yeah, I knew you'd fall for me."
"You wish, babe."
I lunged my arms upward, striking up through his neck. I grabbed the jewel shards and quickly pulled out as his body withered away. But before her left I had my last word in.
"Looks like I was right. Your minutes over, deary." I giggled.
Chapter: 45. Last Fight Part 3 (directed by: Inu Kaido):
Kaida was done with her fight, now it was my turn. I challenged both of the men before me to fight. I was going to make sure that I made them- Suikotsu and Renkotsu- die on my blade.
"Ready to fight?" I asked.
"I'm ready any day now!" Suikotsu yelled.
"Let's go!" Renkotsu yelled.
Together, equally timed, Suikotsu ran straigh towards me with his iron claws, while Renkotsu jumped into the air and blew out a huge screen of fire in my face. I dodged the fire, and was able to stay free from the deadly flames. But I wasn't able to dodge Suikotsu. Suikotsu rammed his bladed fist into my arm, almost slicing it all the way off. I cried. Renkotsu took my cry of pain to his advantage. He shot out fire balls at my wounded arm, making my clothing catch on fire. I would've died right there and then if it weren't for Kaida jumping in to save me. She jumped to my side, and quickly, with her ice breath, blew out the burning flames. I sighed in relief.
"Don't worry, Kaido. I'll be your gaurdian angel. You can count on it!" she smiled faintly.
"Thanks, Kaida." I smiled.
Suikotsu came to lunge at Kaida, but unfortunately for him, she stabbed him through the neck with her talons before he could even scratch her. Suikotsu gasped for a second, then turned to ash as Kaida pulled the jewel shards out and placed them into Kagome's old jewel bottle.
"Kaida, I can handle him, don't worry! But thanks for taking care of Suikotsu for me!" I told her.
"Alright, but be careful! If you need help, let me know!" she yelled back, taking a seat by the large door.
Renkotsu landed on his feet in front of me. We were face to face. He got that bottle that contained his gasses and oils so that he could blow more fire. But before the bottle reached his mouth, I sliced it in half with my own talons. The liquid from the bottle spewed out like blood.
"Damn you, boy!" Renkotsu cried.
"Yeah, I'm already damned, so don't waste your time trying to condem me." I smirked.
"Have you ever seen Hell before?" he asked with a small smile.
"No."
"Well I can assure you it's not you type of place. My six brothers and I were there once before-- before Naraku resurected us!"
"That's to bad for you, isn't it?"
"You'll die in a minute."
"I'm not so sure. Only my sister can say that line. I can assure you that I won't but you will."
I pointed my sword out wards in front of me as a shield. Renkotsu backed away slowly. Awkward silence grew over us for a moment. Then Renkotsu charged towards me full speed! I pointed my sword up a tiny bit, using my calculations to be able to slice his neck instantly. He rammed in-- and so did my sword! I jabbed it through his neck and he turned to ashes immediately. I retrieved the jewel shards and gave them to Kaida who still sat by the giant door.
We had a moment of rest and peace. Until the large doors open and a dark figure stepped out. It was Naraku! Kaida and I as if by instict jumped back the second we heard the hinges on the door swing open. Kaida was showing her fangs at him in resentment.
"Well, well. So you two are Inu Yasha's children. Very impressive." he smiled cynically.
"Naraku, I don't know who the hell you are in person, but I've heard of all the evil things you've done to my mother and father!" Kaida cried.
"That is true. But who would you mother be?" he asked.
"Lady Kikyou is my mother!" she cried.
"Kikyou?..." he looked surprised.
"I detest that wench. You will both perish this very day!"
"Mother Kikyou's kind and generous unlike you, you evil bastard! You're the one that killed a priestess who tried to help you!" I cried.
"Die." he whispered under his breath giving a smirk.
Naraku swung out, and we started to fist fight with our talons and his long, strong nails.
Chapter: 46, Beautiful Scars Of Two Flowers (directed by: Kaida):
Inu Kaido and I joined together & attacked Naraku with our talons. He fell to the ground, only to be beaten by my brother's Heaven Strike (The Heaven Strike is a similar technique as the Iron Reever). Naraku shattered into pieces. The pieces flew in every which way, and when they flew, they stuck onto whatever they landed upon. Unfortunately, several stuck themselves upon my body & would not let go. I started to claw at them, and so did Onii-chan. But we couldn't get them off! They grew and grew, until they engulfed my whole body! The creature dragged itself down my throat, and I went black.
When I regained consciousness, Onii-chan was standing above me. He looked frightened. I spoke.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Naraku's body engulfed yours, but somehow disappeared." Onii-chan spoke, "Yeah, you're alright now. You were knocked out by the lack of oxygen we think."
"How long've I been down?"
"Only a few moments." he answered said.
I started to cough. Breathing became harder the more I tried to gasp for air. I felt light headed. I lost sight again. I heard Onii-chan's voice, but it was blurry. I thought he said "Kaida! Kaida! Stay with me! Dad will be here soon! Hang in there, please!" that was what he said. But then I also remember him calling out for Father. Then everything went blank.
After a moment I regained sight. I saw me standing before Inu Kaido and Father. They had their weapons drawn and pointing towards me. I tried to talk, but my mouth wouldn't open. I tried to move backwards, but I couldn't move my legs. It was like I was paralizied.
"Kaida, your eyes are bright red!" Inu Kaido cried.
I couldn't answer but only stand in shock.
My arms flung out in front of me with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. Thing was, I didn't move my arms. It was like someone was moving them for me. I tried to struggle to put my arms down, but couldn't. Then I heard Naraku's voice whisper to me.
"Be a good girl, and kill your father for me." he said.
I looked around terrified, trying to see where the voice had come from, only to find no one but Onii-chan and Daddy. Then he spoke again.
"Can't find me can you? It's because I'm in the back of your mind. I control you. You can't do anything about it. You're my puppet of destruction. Scared yet?" he snickered.
"What are you doing inside of me?!" I cried in my head. My eyes started to tear up, and I could only tell this for Onii-chan started to cry. We had a special bond since we were little. If I cried, he cried.
"I need you as my shield. You see, if I'm inside you, they can't harm me, for they don't want to kill their prescious Kaida. You see my drift?"
"A shield? It can't work! They'll kill you weather or not you like it!" I cried.
"That can't happen, Kaida. I control you, just as I once controlled Kagura."
"No!"
I gained control of my body, but for only a brief moment so I could cry a message out to them.
I droppped the arrow and bow, and cried out to them.
"Inu Kaido, Father, kill me! Naraku's inside of me!" I cried.
Tears flowed my face rapidly. They eventually turned to blood. The blood dripped off of my face and down onto the dirt ground. Onii-chan was crying hard to, but not as much as I, for he wasn't crying aloud, and he wasn't crying with blood.
"We can't kill you! Try to force him out!" Father cried.
"I... can't...!!!" I mumbled, as Naraku took control of my body.
I bent down and picked up the bow. I then moved my arm back towards my backside to reach for the blades I normally threw like a ninja. I took the blades and loaded them into the bow. I pulled the string back, and was ready to fire. But something in me stopped me from firing at Onii-chan and Daddy. I cried out again.
"Run! Run, Inu Kaido!" I shut my eyes and let the string go.
The blades went flying in all directions towards Daddy and Onii-chan. Both of them didn't move. They blocked the blades with jumping and dodging. But Inu Kaido did get hit by one..., one hit him right in his heart. He cried out in pain. A loud howl that could raise the dead. He fell to the ground. Blood spat out from his chest. He was even spitting up blood! I cried more and more. He reached for the blade and tried to take it out, but couldn't.
Naraku let go of controlling so I could go over to his aid. I raced towards him in tears.
I turned him on his back to prevent the blood from flowing out more. He coughed more and more with each second that pased. His eyes were barely opened.
"Inu Kaido! Don't die! Please don't die! Don't burden me with that guilt! Don't you dare!" I cried,"I didn't mean to! I didn't want to hurt you! Please live! Please?!"
"Kaida,... it's...not your..fault. It's...Naraku's..." he studered.
"Inu Kaido! No! It was mine! I could've done more to try and stop him! It's all mine!"
"No. Don't... speak of such... things."
I leaned forward and looked into his eyes. They were glazed with death. I could tell he was dying. He was dying! I cried and cried my tears of blood that fell upon his chest.
"Kaida, I see Grandfather." he whispered.
"No! Don't you go crazy on me to! Don't you dare! Please?!"
He looked into my eyes.
"Kaida, you look so... beautiful." he whispered.
"What? No! I can't be beautiful now! I'm a killer!" I cried.
"Yes, so what if you are? But I to, am a killer..."
"But..., Inu Kaido don't go!"
"I love you..."
"I love you, too!" I cried.
Those were some of my last words to him. Naraku toook control of my body again, and made me plunge in to his chest to kiss his lips. Onii-chan's eyes widened, then noticed my eyes were glowing red again.While I kissed him, my right arm made a move, and stabbed the blade into his chest more. He flinched with pain. I kept on sobbing.
Daddy ran over to his side & shoved me off of Onii-chan.
"Kaido, you okay?" he asked Onii-chan.
"Uhhh... I'm dying aren't I?" Onii-chan asked.
Father didn't respond.
I spoke aloud, but only it was Naraku who spoke, and not I.
"Inu Yasha, won't you come and kill me?" I asked.
"Damn right I will, but first stop playing hide and seek!" Father cried.
"Oh, but this is to much fun. I don't want to stop playing yet. I like your daughter's body. It's very roomy & flexibile. I like it alot. Maybe I'll just keep this body from now on, hmm?"
"Damn you, Naraku!"
"Let's play again. Just the three of us. If you can get me out of this shell, then I will let you kill me. But if not, you let me kill the girl, and your son!"
"No! How about let's fight like real men!"
"Oh, but Inu Yasha, haven't you noticed? We are no men. We are only creatures of death and destrucion. Now would you call that a real man?"
Father didn't say anything. Daddy walked towards me. When he came face to face with me, he whipped my bloody tears from my face and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Then he spoke.
"Kaida, please forgive me for this, but I must do this for the sake of you and your brother!" Daddy cried.
Daddy took out his sword and swung it at me. I didged it. Then he pulled it back and used Wind Scar on me. I flew back into the air, and fell to the ground on my back. I could feel that I was bleeding all over. My body was in great pain. I cried out loud with a scream from the bottom of my lungs, that I'm sure Hell could even hear.
"I didn't think you had it in you!" I spoke.
"Naraku, come out! Don't make me go any further!" Daddy cried.
"No! Keep comming until she lay dead!"
Daddy came to my side, and cried at the sight of me. I was no longer beautiful in his eyes. Dirt and blood all over my body. Large gashes in my legs. My hair was blood stained and knotted. My eyes were no longer pretty emeralds, but red rubbies that resemboled the refinement of the devil.
He took out his talons, and started to claw at me. Once in a while, he'd use Iron Rever on me. He was crying the whole time he did this act of sin --- and so was I.
After my whole body was covered in blood, Father raised his hand one last time to strike me in my heart. He cried more than ever, and so did I, but you couldn't tell for the blood blended in with the rest of the blood on my body perfectly.
He lowered it down towards me quickly, but was stopped by someone's hand. It was Onii-chan! A smile lit my face, but then quickly faded. Onii-chan was bleeding like you wouldn't believe. He shoved Daddy out of the way, and layed himself on me. I cried and hugged me, rubbing my blood onto him.
"Kaida, don't do this. Don't stand for this and die." he cried.
"Onii-chan..., will you kill me...?" I asked gaining strength to overcome Naraku.
"No. I can't."
"Please? I'm not beautiful anymore, I can't walk and my eyes can barely see, plus I'm losing to much blood. Please, just kill me!"
"No! I can't kill you!"
Then Daddy came to his side and told him that it was okay.
"Inu Kaido, it's alright. It's what she wants... Let her have it." Daddy sobbed.
Daddy leaned over and kissed me all over my face for the last time. Inu Kaido gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I love you, my princess." Daddy sobbed.
"I love you, too, Daddy." I cried.
"I love you, Kaida." Inu Kaido whispered into my ear.
"I love you, too. And I wouldn't want to die to anyone else but you."
"Goodbye..." Onii-chan sobbed.
"Goodbye, Onii-chan"
He took his talons out and jabbed them into my heart. Blood spat out in all directions, and flew onto his face as he cried tears of blood. I coughed out blood as he did before, but only this time there was more blood. My eyes widened, and I couldn't see anymore. I only saw a dim light. And then I lost all senses, hearing, touch, smell... I lost them all. My heart had one last beat that lasted for a moment. Then, everything shut down and I couldn't breathe. I gasped for air, but could get any. My body shook violently. Then I lay still, with my eyes wide opend and my mouth wide agape. I was dead, and along with my death, Onii-chan had killed Naraku, too. I died...
Chapter:47, Inu Kaido's Death (directed by Inu Kaido):
I sobbed out tears of blood onto her dead body. The pain in my heart grew, but not because of the blade that was stuck in there, but because of her death. I had just killed my own twin sister. What kind of monster was I? She had so many things that she could've acomplished before this, but because of me, we couldn't. She never got to see Mother again liked I had promised her. She never got to see Ai again, like I had promised. She never got to see anyone that she loved again, because of me!
I cried over Kaida's body. I tried to clean her up so that she could resembol the beautiful girl she once was. But it didn't work. The blood was to thick, and it started to turn into crust.
I backed away from her body and ran towards my father that was right behind me.
"Father, she's gone!" I sobbed.
"I know... But it had to be done. It was for your safety and her's as well. She was going to die regardless." Father said.
"How was she going to die regardless?" I asked.
"Every living thing in this world is dying. You're dying, I'm dying. Even the newest born baby is dying. It's the cricle of life. It can't be helped."
"That's a bulllshit statment. Why'd you come back anyway, I thought you went back to your friends?"
"They're dead."
"How?"
"Kagura. And now she took the life of Rin, Jaken, and her own. Thankfully she saved her son and Ai from herself."
"How tragic."
"I'm sorry about losing your twin... I know how it--" he started being cut off by me.
"No, you don't know how it feels to lose your twin! We were so close! Closer than you and Sesshoumaru will ever be! We were closer than brother and sister! It was like us two were one whole! I needed her to live and she needed me! Don't you get it?! I'm dying to! And more rapidly than you are! By the end of the day I'll probably be laying dead just like her!" I sobbed.
"Don't you dare talk like that! I lost everything! I lost Kagome, I lost my brother, I lost my friends, and now you want to leave me, too?! You can't do that to me, Inu Kaido! You have to live! If not for me, but for Kaida." he cried.
"Words mean nothing to me now...My baby sister needs me now more than ever! I made a promise to her a while ago. A promise that said no matter what we'd always be together-- and that means death, too!"
I walked back towards Kaida, and rested my head on her body. I took one of her blades that she kept on her back out. I aimed it towards my heart. I shook in fear for a moment, but then I thought of being with Kaida one more time. And then I stabbed it into my heart. It happened the same way as with Kaida. I died on her body. Now we could be together again.
Father ran over towards us, but it was to late. I had already gone. I was already dead.
Chapter: 48, Inu Yasha's Heart (directed by Inu Yasha):
I cried over the two of them, shaking Inu Kaido back and forth, trying to make him move, or speak, or something to let me know he was still alive. I tried to save them! Every last one! Why did everyone die?! Dammit! Why did I have to be the only one left!? WHY, DAMMIT!?
I walked away from the two of them and fell to my knees and sobbed aloud.
"Why does it have to be this way? Why do I have to suffer the most?" I cried.
"You don't have to suffer anymore." a gentle voice from behind me spoke.
How could that be? Everyone except for me were dead. I turned my head a slight bit and saw a woman that looked very familiar.
"Kikyou...?" I whispered.
"Inu Yasha, come into my embrace. Let me heal your broken heart." she cried.
I ran into her arms & hugged her so tight, we both fell to our knees in tears. I told her everything she needed to know about how her children died, and how everyone died for that matter. The whole time I told of them, she held me close to her soft chest.
"Inu Yasha, come with me and we can start a new family in honor of Inu Kaido & Kaida." Kikyou whispered.
"Are you sure? But... you're so old, you can't manage more children, can you?"
"Silly Inu Yasha, I'm just as old as you if not younger. I can manage all that He gives me. Remember that." she hugged me.
"Alright, but where should we start?"
"Where ever their favorite place in the world was."
"That was with you and me when they were children and lived in that single home at the edge of the forest."
"Then we shall start it there."
"Good." I smiled a bit.
We got up and dug graves for the two of them, side by side. Kikyou made the grave stones. Each stone said, "In Loving Memory of Our Dear Children, Kaida and Inu Kaido". We put flowers on their graves and said some prayers.
Chapter: 49, A New Life (directed by Inu Yasha):
Several months later, Kikyou and I had started a new family. We now had two daughters and a boy. The boy's name was Inu Kaido II, and the girls' names were Kagome and Kaida. We also raised Ai and Kagura's son that we named Hiro. We lived happily in the small house at the edge of the forest where we raised our first borns. But though we lived happily for the most part, every night Kikyou and I would cry ourselves to sleep for the loss of our children, and our friends.

END

Epilogue (directed by Inu Yasha):
Eventually after several decades, our children grew to be just like the people they were named after. Kaida was graceful, talented, beautiful, and had the same attitude on everything like Kaida. Inu Kaido II was just as clumsy as his brother, and had the same skill as him, but he did have a slight different hair color-- it was black. And Kagome was beautiful, shy, brave, determined, peaceful, and very intelligent. She was exceptionaly talented with the bow and arrow, but if you gave her a sword, she'd surely lose control. Hiro grew into a handsom young warroir as well. Ai grew into a very beautiful demon, much like her father. When she came of the age of 15, she moved out on her own.
When Ai was 60 she passed away in her sleep. After two years of our new children's 52 birthday, Kikyou passed away, due to old age. Before she died, she requested that she be taken to the same place her first born children had died. There she died in my arms. There she was burried along side her beloved son and daughter.
Inu Kaido & Hiro moved out first and trained with Totosai. Kaida and Kogome became priestesses just as their mother had once been. And I grew old and tired after several hundred years of life and suffering. I died beside Kikyou's grave. And there my children burried me. And there I still lay to this day. Happy, peaceful, and in love.
