Shugo No Miko

This is how it is and This is how it may be

Chapter 1

Naraku looked at the fully developed miko in front of him thinking to himself that this was going to be east despite the fact he now stood alone.

Kagome stood in front of him panting from exhaustion ready to fall at any moment. She thought to herself how could this happen after years of preparation for the fight with the incarnation of evil himself that all of her love ones would die.

Her family in the future, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and many of the demons she had met during her adventures in the past three years, but, she thought, I still have Sesshomaru and Shippou my only and last family.

She looked toward the silent dai-youkai of the western lands. He looked at her at that exact moment letting blue clash with gold before she smiled bitterly and looked back at Naraku.

She couldn't help but think of the last months events that lead up to this moment, but one moment stood out more than any of the others.

~FLASHBACK~

Kagome was currently being trained by Sesshomaru, a.k.a. Fluffy-sama, she had exceeded his expectations for a human female.

He watched as she sat at the pond near the clearing they were training. He watched as she gathered some water before bringing the cool liquid to her lips and drinking it and letting out a happy gasp.

Over the several months he had trained the young miko he had grown fond of the small woman. She was the sun to his moon.

She looked up at him after she noticed his staring and smiled sweetly.

He stared for a moment then stood and walked to her and sat beside her. "Miko be mine."

He watched as she quickly looked into his eyes seeing warmth in the golden icy pools.

Her cheeks were blushed red, his beast rumbled behind the walls he had built up.

She looked down and then back at the demon who had stole her heart even before they started to train together.

"I..." cue another blush. "Yes, but we must wait till after the battle with Naraku. I don't want you to die because I did, because I was to weak. Wait, okay?" She said placing her damp cool hand to his face watching as he nuzzled into it.

~FLASHBACK END~

Kagome refocused on what was happening around her, letting power flow deep within twisting and turning.

"Naraku." Kagome called as the named rung through the clearing filled with corpses, the ground wet with blood.

She watched as he looked toward her with his cruel eyes, red as the blood drenching the clearing around them in the dirt and grass.

"I'll kill you, you sick pathetic bastard." She said with venom lacing and dripping from every word.

Naraku chuckled darkly "Don't fool yourself; you're following the same path as Kikyo. Why, your friends already dead, you're not much different from her at all. Not much longer before you turn on your lover."

Kagome's anger getting the better of her gave out an animalistic growl as her canines sharpened piercing her bottom lip.

Sesshomaru looked toward his mate-to-be noting her loss of control.

"Kagome take over yourself, don't give into the anger."

"I'm trying but I can't stop it, it burns, it's heavy. Please Sesshomaru help me." She said as her ears sharpened at the tip, her eyes turning red, blue jagged markings appearing under her eyes giving her a feral look as her nails lengthened and sharpened.

Sesshomaru watched as his love charged at their enemy.

What followed wasn't expected, Naraku look surprised and tried to dash back sending out his tentacles toward the miko turned demon.

She slashed through them, blood spraying here and there, she kept rushing him and he ran himself into a dead end.

Sesshomaru stood behind the evil hanyou just as Kagome took her hand through his chest blood coating her arm and the right side of her body.

Kagome held Naraku's still beating heart in her hand pulling her hand back through his chest, smiling while she crushed the bloody organ in her hand.

"Curse you Kagome." Naraku dying words came across his lips as he gasps before falling to the ground dead and his body turning into ashes.

His half of the Shikon jewel arose from the ashes and ran straight into Kagome's chest, right into her soul.
