Prompt: Last Stand

He should have known Naraku would not keep his word. Such an honourless hanyou he was. Right on the night after Naraku gave him the order, they were attacked by countless youkais, no doubt sent by Naraku himself. It would not have been a problem if they were not trapped within a barrier that was cast by dark mikos. From the auras that Kagome could detect, one of them was Tsubaki as she remembered her power signature. During their short reprieve of fighting off the mindless youkais, Kagome told him how Tsubaki hated her with passion. She envied the power she had over the Shikon. Apparently, Tsubaki had been one of the guardians of the sacred jewel, but she was not mentally pure enough to keep the jewel safe for long, and it passed down to Kikyō, the miko before her.Naraku had planned his attack well. When they both grew tired and separated, he made his appearance and move at the same time. Sesshōmaru turned in time to see Naraku raise his sword against Kagome’s back. For a moment, time seemed to slow down as he saw the sword swung downward across her back. Her scream echoed as her blood splattered on the floor. She turned around as quickly as she could, but Naraku was faster and didn’t waste his time trusting his sword through her chest. The beast within him howled, and he made no move to stop it from taking over.
Once he regained the control back, he heard nothing but Kagome’s faint beating heart. Surprisingly, she was right beside him. He went down to his knees and slowly gathered her weak, bloodied form. She was still bleeding profusely that he feared the worst. Thanks to the Shikon no Tama, she was still breathing. A normal human would have been dead by now, but this was not good enough.
“Hey...” she rasped weakly.
He locked his gaze with hers and leaned closer to hear her last words, “I’m sorry...”
I hope Kagome is ok, keep it coming.
