All right I hope that this one is better than my many other tries at this particular chapter.

Italics is a third person point of view while the rest is in Kagome's.

Prologue

The stars shone like tiny diamonds in the velvety night sky, they glittered cheerfully beside the brilliance of the full moon in their midst. All that silver light poured down onto the ground and lit everything up so that you could see very clearly, even in the middle of the night.

FEUDAL JAPAN
My heart was beating wildly in my chest and my breath caught in the back of my throat occasionally as a blinding fear washed over me, but I pushed it back every single time. It wasn't MY fear that made me shake with terror; it was Naraku's aura. He now has all of the jewel shards in his possession... well almost all of them. He's still missing two shards, Kouga's shards. Although why he hasn't taken them from him I don't know. I'm not complaining mind you, he's more than powerful enough as it is.

I took a quick peek around the pile of rubble that I was hiding behind and noticed that Miroku and Kirara were doing a pretty good job of keeping the flood of demons from overwhelming Sango and Inuyasha.

Poor Sango, she has to fight her own brother, the last living member of her family... the same family that Naraku had slaughtered for a shard of the shikon jewel. I took five quick, strategically placed shots at the demons. It gave Miroku room to maneuver in the mob of demons he had been in and kept Kohaku from using them on Sango. There was no way that they could get to Kohaku because if they did then Sango was done for. There were just to many for her to take on by herself, let alone distracted, they would overwhelm her.

Sango was having a hard enough time just blocking all of Kohaku's attacks so that all she was able to do was defend herself and beg him to remember. The pain in her voice brought prickling tears to my eyes every time, and if I felt bad I know that Miroku must be feeling terrible right now. He would do anything to keep Sango from getting hurt, seeing her like that must be killing him.

I shot off another round of arrows at the endless sea of demons and turned toward the center of the battleground and the real fight. Toward Inuyasha and Naraku. My stomach clenched painfully as fear gripped me once again, but I steadily pushed it back. What I saw didn't help any; Naraku was safe behind his black and red-streaked shield, laughing at Inuyasha's attempts to break through to him. That evil, throaty laugh sent cold shivers down my spine.

My heart fell to my knees as I saw that not only wasn't Inuyasha getting through the shield but he was also wearing himself out trying. Damn it! I should be out there helping him! He's stronger when were together! But nnoooo I had to make that stupid promise to him...

[FLASHBACK]
"Inuyasha! How can you even ask me that?! I will not stand helplessly by when my friends are in danger!" Kagome turned away from him in a huff and walked away angrily, her temper making her restless. Inuyasha immediately caught up with her, grabbed her upper arm and turned her around to face him. Furious sapphire eyes glared at him, they practically crackled with her anger.

He winced under the intensity of her gaze but his concern for her safety pushed aside his fear of her anger. Unconsciously he grabbed her other arm in his intensity, 'She HAS to understand!' He shifted nervously under her gaze and instinctively, started to rub circles on her arms with his thumbs. That small touch seemed to help him allot. ::sigh::

"I should have known better than to ask you to stay away in your time, but this is Naraku were talking about! At the very least PROMISE me that you won't jump into the actual battle. Please, stay shooting distance away. I, I couldn't live with myself if I lost you..." His voice rose and fell with his emotions, while his golden eyes shone with his anxiety.

Shocked Kagome felt her anger drain away as his words hit her. Confusion lightened her eyes several shades until they were a soft indigo. Frantic Inuyasha threw caution to the wind and let himself embrace her, he pulled her to him desperately. The solidity of her in his arms calmed him down a little. The reality that she was there, with him, and alive did wonders for his nerves.

Kagome stiffened at his suddenness; she was so confused but his words made her smile. She slowly relaxed into his embrace and cautiously hugged him back. She didn't know if he would pull away from the moment like he always did. But when he only held her closer to him and then buried his nose into the crook of her neck she melted into the moment.

She was so lost, she would have promised him the world in that moment. "Hai, Inuyasha." she whispered into his neck, his hair tickled her nose as she breathed so she didn't notice the shiver that went through him at the feel of her lips whispering against his neck.

The tension that had been rolling inside him immediately drained away at her words and left him with a faint euphoric feeling inside. A breath he didn't even know he'd been holding escaped in a rush against Kagome's neck. He didn't notice the faint tremor that ran through the girl's frame.

[END FLASHBACK]

::Sigh:: I leaned back against the rubble and drew some much needed air into my lungs. There was no way that I could have said no to him that day, or was it evening? I don't really remember anything about it except that it was him and me in the forest, or was it in the village? Damn! First it was my temper leading me around blindly and then it was him. I need to start paying more attention, speaking of paying attention.

"Shippo are you ok?" I looked down at the ball of fluff around my ankles and gave him a very strained smile. It was the best I could do under the situation, "Hai, Kagome. I'm ok." I could tell that he was 'scared shitless' in Inuyasha's words, not mine. Because of his death grip on my leg I could feel the shivers that ran through his tiny frame. "Your doing great, I'm sure that you wont let a single demon sneak up on us this time." I had to fight to keep the smile from showing as he puffed up proudly. He's so kawaii!

I gently smoothed the hair on his head, hoping to calm him down while listening carefully to the battle out there. Something was wrong though; I sat there stroking the kitsune's soft hair when it hit me. When I had peeked at Naraku I had noticed that he was all alone. Normally either Kagura or Kanna would be here, or even one of his demon puppets. Why aren't they here? Naraku is a manipulative SOB there's no way that he simply forgot to call in the cavalry.

Suddenly I felt a faint trace of power at the back of my head, it was as if a cold finger was caressing my spine from the inside. I knew that feeling. I peeked around my 'fort' and looked around for HER, for Kikyo. But she was nowhere to be seen, damn it. I should have known, with a resigned air I started to turn back at Inuyasha, she wouldn't be seen until she was good and ready and not a second earlier, but Miroku's words stopped me cold.

"Kagura!" Damn! While I was lost in my thoughts Naraku's back up had arrived. I quickly looked around and immediately spotted Miroku who was now completely absorbed in his battle with Kagura. "Blades of Wind!" Miroku, atop of Kirara, hastily dodged her attack. Crap, she's only playing with him! Meanwhile here I am gawking at the show when the real danger is still out there!

I quickly started to scan the area but Kanna wasn't there, maybe she didn't come? But as soon as that came into my mind I squashed it down. This was too big a fight for Naraku not to bring out all his toys. Suddenly a pain-filled scream cut through the heavy air.

My eyes automatically looked for the source but the crowd of demons surrounding her blocked Sango from sight. I don't know what came over me, all I know is that my friend was in trouble and I had to help her. I shot off a string of arrows, destroying them by the hundreds, until I could finally see my friend.

There she was on the ground, with Kohaku standing blankly over her. Her blood glistened on his weapon, clear evidence of how she had been injured. My heart cried out for her, her own brother! She just laid there, her face revealing all the pain and betrayal she was feeling. "Kohaku?" That tiny, uncertain word spoke volumes and carried all the way across the battled field to my ears. I felt all her pain in that one word and suddenly I couldn't just sit there doing nothing.

I couldn't fight her battles for her, Sango was on her own with Kohaku, I know that she can do it. However I CAN take care of the demons just waiting to jump her once she shows some sign of weakness.

I turned and started showering the sky with my sacred arrows; the endless sea of demons just didn't seem so endless now. My arrows lit up the battlefield like tiny, pink fireworks. I didn't even feel the tears running down my face. When I was shaking too badly to shoot I stopped and looked around once again.

My gaze was immediately drawn toward Inuyasha and Naraku. "Diamond Cutting Blast!" I held my breath, hoping that the attack was strong enough to cut through Naraku's deadly looking shields. But no, he just let Inuyasha attack while he continued to laugh at him. Suddenly he reached out one of his many tentacles and, still laughing, threw Inuyasha into a wall of his castle.

He fell heavily into the wooden structure. Inuyasha! My feet practically itched to go to him, but I promised. Damn! Naraku continued his attack on Inuyasha, using his tentacle-like arms to poke holes into his own castle. I could barley see his baboon-covered face, his shield was too cloudy to see through clearly.

Suddenly, two things happened at once: Inuyasha burst through to roof of the castle and out of nowhere, a powerful sacred arrow flew at Naraku. But instead of breaking on impact or bouncing off of him, like all our previous attacks, it flew straight into the murky substance. Tiny pink cracks snaked all over Naraku's black and red-streaked shield. His gloating laugh was cut-off so abruptly I wondered if it had ever been there to begin with. My ears ignored the cold shudders that ran down my spine at his laughter.

His shield pulsed for a second before it abruptly exploded. Without the shield the full extent of his powers poured out like a flood. If his aura was hard to handle before it was nothing to how it felt like now. Suddenly I was choking, like there wasn't enough air to pull into my lungs.

My heart pounded against my chest like a trapped thing as his power rode over me and continued to spread. Oh god, if this was affecting me like this how are the others faring? Fear rippled and boiled in my stomach, causing my stomach muscles to dance wildly. Kami, help them. Please.

I didn't even realize when good, clean air rushed into my lungs. All I knew was that I was free of whatever had held me. My eyes flew open as a shrill cry pierced the power-saturated air; I quickly darted around the ruins and searched for the source.

After that everything went to fast for me to remember clearly. It was like the world was on hyper drive.

I saw a flash of white at the corner of my eye and whirled around in search of it but it was too late. Miroku stood above a prone Sango with his staff held high in his hands, his eyes were empty, like violet glass. Kagura was standing beside him looking smug, her blood red eyes glittering happily. There was no way that she should have been able to take control of Miroku... unless Kanna WAS here!

I didn't have to wait long. With an evil chuckle Kagura cut the strings holding Miroku and he collapsed beside Sango, who had a tiny Kirara in her arms, the both of them unconscious. Seconds later Kanna materialized and started to suck Sango's soul into her mirror.

No! Without thinking about it I had loosed another arrow. I had to get them free of those two! My arrow flew true and pierced the mirror. I fully expected for it to disappear into the mirror, and overwhelm it like it did last time. But that's not what happened.

Instead of disappearing completely into the mirror, my arrow suddenly burst out the back, into Kanna and out her back. At the same time the mirror just suddenly shattered, breaking up into tiny pieces, like glitter. Leaving a very human looking Kanna standing there.

In my surprise I didn't even see my friends souls jolt back into them as Kanna just stood there; blinking rapidly with a confused look on her face. Around then I felt another cold blast of power. Kikyo was back. But for the life of me I couldn't look away from the drama in front of me to face the one behind me.

Even from so far away I could see her pupil's resurface, along with the baby blue of her irises. The first traces of color on her. Every second that she stood there she looked more alive. With a visible shudder Kanna suddenly ran off into the night, leaving Kagura standing there with the weirdest look on her face.

Her eyes shone with a strange light, I think I saw a flash of... hope? But it disappeared almost as soon as it had come so suddenly that I wasn't sure that it had been there to begin with. She pulled out her feather and was gone. Just like that. I stood there blinking, trying to process what had just happened.

It was the sight of my friends trying to get up, even under all that pain, that brought me back. I shot off three arrows in a triangle around them. I knew that the glow would protect them until they were better. That's when I noticed that Kohaku was gone, but Naraku's scream of fury jerked me away from my thoughts.

Inuyasha's soft inquiry drew me away from Naraku, "Kikyo?" I found her standing over Inuyasha with that knife that she always carries embedded to the hilt in his side. Suddenly I couldn't breath again and a cold ball of fear settled heavily in my stomach, he couldn't die. He can't! I stood there by my hiding place, the same hiding place that he had made me stay in. He can't be dead, Kami please don't let him be dead.

"Kikyo, how nice to see you. You always do good work." Naraku's rumbling voice carried in the air to me, making me cringe. His voice seemed more charged now that his full power was free; it seemed to carry his emotions in it now. And those two sentences, though he said them mildly enough, cut through the air like broken glass. His anger bubbling under the surface.

But I couldn't look away from Inuyasha and Kikyo. He was on his knees at her feet, looking at her with such a wounded expression in his face, so raw, so full of so many things that can be used to hurt, that I felt my own heart breaking. He loves her so much, yet she always does this too him! How can she?!

Kikyo just continued to look at him with the same cold look she always gives him. His pain sat naked on his face, and she just brushed it off. "Why?" He croaked out, Kikyo merely jerked the knife out, and that's when the blood started to flow, feeding the earth with his blood. She turned away coldly and addressed Naraku.

"Inuyasha is mine Naraku. Nobody shall have the pleasure of killing him but me. Never forget that." Her arrogant drawl raised the tiny hairs at the back of my neck and made my spine straighter. How can she say that? She just did that to him to prove a point? My gaze snapped back to Inuyasha who was still kneeling at her feet, looking at her with a incredulous look on his face.

"Inu. Yasha." I didn't even realize that I had spoken out loud until Kikyo whipped around to look at me. With a strange glint in her eyes she nodded in my direction, her eyes filled my vision and I stood frozen. Suddenly she looked away and I could move again, my first thought was to go to Inuyasha but before I could take more than a couple of steps I felt a tug at my skirt. Confused I looked down and found Shippo latched on to me, frantically trying to get my attention.

That's when I realized that we weren't alone anymore. I could feel them at my back, hundreds of them. I carefully picked Shippo up and then I slowly, almost painfully, turned around to look at what it was that was behind us, the way that you do in nightmares. You turn, knowing that the hot breath on your skin really is the monster. I fought not to but at the same time something wouldn't let me NOT look.

For the umpteenth time that day I found myself acting without thinking. Fear roiled in my stomach like I had a bad case of food poisoning, as I stood there, paralyzed with it. I found my face buried in Shippo's fur with one arm around him and the other uselessly batting the demons away. Right, big threat that was.

But hey it worked because the next thing I knew a warm rush of SOMETHING pooled inside me and in a tingling wave it made its way down the arm that was batting the demons away. Stupid demons, I needed to go help Inuyasha! I whish that they would just "GO AWAY!" And suddenly that tingling, warm wave spilled out through my hand before I knew what was happening.

At first I thought that I was deaf because I couldn't hear anything, but Shippo's excited voice stated otherwise. "Kagome, you did it! Wow! I didn't know that you could DO that!" He was squirming in my arm so I put him down and let him jump around excitedly. I was still too dazed to think about the implications of what I had just done; all I knew was that I was alive. Wait, Inuyasha!

My head snapped up, I needed to find him. Instead I found everybody else staring at what I had just done. Almost like some invisible flag had gone off the battle started again and Sango and Miroku started to fight of the meager amount of demons left. Well if you could call dozens of demons meager.

Glancing around I barley noticed that one of Naraku's many arms is flying at me. Crap, how do I get myself into these things? "So little, girl. Your more useful than I first thought you to be. You will make a nice addition to my army." I didn't have time to do anything else but cringe. I sort of hunched in on myself and squeezed my eyes shut as I waited for the blow to come. But it never did.

"KAGOME!!" My eyes automatically snapped open in time to see Inuyasha blow the arm away, distracting Naraku, who in turn smacked Inuyasha into the ground with another of his arms. "Inuyasha!" I have to go to him! I didn't even realize that I had started my way to him until one of Kikyo's arrows fell a few feet in front of me, effectively stopping me in my tracks. Surprised that something had actually gotten in my way of getting to him I automatically turned to look for the source of my hindrance. My eyes fell on Kikyo as she gracefully made her way toward us, after quick scan I noticed that Naraku had thrown Inuyasha several meters from where he had started.

Kikyo stopped right between Inuyasha and me; there was no way that I could get to him with her in the way. The symbolism was not lost on me. I was suddenly shaking with anger; he's hurt and needs some help. Why wont she MOVE?!

Almost against my will I found myself staring into her eyes, her normally cold brown orbs had a strange glint to them that, under normal circumstances, would've had me frozen me on the spot. But now... I just felt angry. A scalding anger that warmed me to the core, her coldness just melted off of me.

Get. Out. Of. My. Way. I said very, very carefully. Afraid that if I raised my voice I would seriously hurt her, and however angry I was, I don't really want to hurt her. She just ignored my though, "How did you do that?" she haughtily asked me, confident that I was no more a threat than a fly. It only made that scalding wave flare and dance wildly inside me. But before it could break over her she turned her back to me and faced Inuyasha.

"You are a fool, throwing your life away like this. And for what?" Her confident drawl carried the first traces of curiosity. Almost as if she honestly didn't understand why he did what he did.

Visibly struggling to get up he answered her, "I promised to protect you until you rested in peace. I promised that I would avenge your death. I'll keep that promise." Inuyasha replied huskily, his eyes brimming with all those different emotions inside of him. I could have sworn that his eyes flicked toward me but I wasn't sure.

All that anger had slowly drained away at the look on his face, but it came back with a vengeance when she started to laugh. It was a high, bubbly laugh that was genuinely amused at his reply. "You are pitiful, you deserve to die---" She never go to finfish that sentence because Naraku chose that moment to smack her aside with one of his many tentacles. [A/N: seems like he got tired of waiting] My anger instantly disappeared, replaced by concern, when I saw her pale body smack against a wall of Naraku's castle and fall limply toward the ground.

I didn't have any time to dwell on the dead miko though, because immediately after smacking her out of the way Naraku picked Inuyasha up by the neck and flung him into the castle. That's it! Enough is enough! All that anger that had been running through me before was nothing compared to what I felt now.

It was like my veins were on fire with the intensity of it, my skin tried to crawl off of me, my very bones ached with it. My senses went into overdrive and overwhelmed me; I could feel every trace of wind, every hair on my body, while at the same time the world narrowed down to Naraku and me. I suddenly had tunnel vision and I wanted him to hurt. Like he hurt us all. I didn't realize that I had started to glow with a strange purple light. Splotches of white, pink, and blue danced and flowed together, hovering over my skin.

"Its time to put you down, you've been a pain in my side since I lay in Kikyo's care. Die knowing that Kikyo is mine, that soon your friends will die too, and that your other woman will be mine as well--" his voice reached my ears faint and distorted, like it was far, far away. I never realized what I had done. I was loosing time.

My vision filled with a burst of pink, blocking Naraku from my limited sight, when it faded away I was left with a splotchy view of him with the entire left side of his torso gone, not a trace was left of his missing limbs. "Kikyo?" It was like trying to talk through thick, closed doors, I vaguely heard Naraku's incredulous voice. But it was unimportant so I brushed it aside.

Confused Naraku turned to toward where the arrow had come from, fully expecting to see a enraged Kikyo while a barely conscious Inuyasha dangled limply from his grip, like a rag doll, forgotten in his surprise as they hovered several meters in the air.

When the spots cleared I found myself staring at Inuyasha, for a second there, all I could see was him. His face was a ruin from all the blows he had taken tonight, his clothes were in tatters and there was no doubt that he was in allot of pain. My tunnel vision suddenly widened when Naraku's voice echoed through my skull.

"You're stronger than Kikyo, she could have never done what you just did. How did you do that?" His voice rumbled inside my head painfully. It kept switching in and out like a old radio, as if the reception was off. But the feeling behind his words came through loud and clear.

Suddenly he let out a bark of laughter, the evilness in that laugh raised the first stirrings of fear since my temper took over but I stubbornly pushed it down. My anger is what's keeping me from buckling under all the power leaking out of him. I can't let it slip away. But as I stood there wrapping my anger around me Naraku suddenly crushed Inuyasha's back to him and burrowed his "hand" into Inuyasha's shoulder.

It brought out a scream of pain and anger from him that tore at my insides, distracting me from Naraku but his words brought me back. "What are you going to do? Shoot me with your arrows? Do it, I dare you. You might kill me but your love will die with me!" And he continued to laugh, a deep, maniacal laugh that even my anger couldn't burn away as he dug his hand deeper into Inuyasha's shoulder.

I heard him clearly this time and with that revelation I could suddenly see Inuyasha's face as if I was standing inches in from of him. His face was contorted in pain, fear, hate, stubbornness and did I mention pain? Lots and lots of pain.

I suddenly felt all my rage start to gather at my core, all that scalding heat slowly sank back into me, leaving me feeling empty. I can't do this. I can't hurt Inuyasha. But if I don't do something then Naraku is going to hurt him even more! Kami what do I do?

As she stood there doubting herself the aura surrounding her started to flicker and die. It flowed back under her skin, undetectable as always. Kagome slowly sunk to her knees, her weapon forgotten. She huddled in on herself, slowly rocking back and forth and the war inside her head pulled her in opposite directions.

I vaguely heard Naraku's evil, triumphant laugh, but the voices inside my head kept me from fully focusing on him, making his voice seem distant and hollow.

She wasn't aware that her friends had seen the entire thing. True they were busy with Naraku's hoard of demons and Shippo was hiding in the ruins, but Kagome's arrow had drawn them toward the drama. At the sight of their friends visible struggle they all felt like they had to help, their bodies might be occupied but their mouths were not. With a strong heave of Hiraikotsu that drove off one of the demons attacks Sango shouted over at her friend, "Kagome! Don't give up!"

Sango? Slowly I swam up, past the voices in my head and focused on her voice. She came through a little sluggishly but her words came through.

"Whatever you do Kagome, we'll be stand by you!" "She's right Kagome! Don't let this battle be for nothing, Inuyasha wouldn't want that!" That's Miroku! Slowly my foggy mind began to clear at their encouragement. "Yeah! What they said! You can do Kagome!" Shippo's words made it to me and seemed to chase the last of the cobwebs out of my skull.

Suddenly my vision was back and I was calm, no longer afraid. I can do this, not because I'm the best qualified for the job but because I'm the ONLY one for the job. Nobody else can do this but me. That stray thought brought forth a strong sense of peace with it. It doesn't matter if what I chose to do is the right decision because it's the only choice we have right now.

Faintly, like white noise, I can hear the sound of Sango, Kirara, and Miroku fighting the demons but Inuyasha's grunts and Naraku's triumphant laughter hold my full attention and the ground fills my vision. Huh, I didn't realize that I'd been staring at the ground.

I tried to move but my body protested to the movement so that I had to stand up slowly . I think it amused Naraku, judging by the tone of his laugh. Huh, I'm still looking at the ground. I never noticed how dusty battlefield's always are.

The next thing I knew I felt Inuyasha's eyes on me, don't ask me how I know this, I just do. My eyes slowly rolled up to meet his golden stare. I put all my self into my eyes and prayed that he understood what I was about to do, and what I needed him to do. I can't be sure but there seemed to be an answering flicker in his eyes. That's when everything seemed to slow down to a crawl.

Naraku dug his hand into Inuyasha's shoulder a few inches deeper. Kagome's aura flared to life in a blinding purple so bright it was a painful, stark white, effectively blinding Naraku. While Inuyasha braced himself for the impact as Kagome's command ran through the air, "SIT!"

"Kami, she's so beautiful and strong." Ran through Inuyasha's mind as Kagome's aura enveloped her, for some reason it was a soft light to him and he could see her clearly. Naraku suddenly stopped laughing as Inuyasha was jerked powerfully out of his grip. Inuyasha automatically tensed as the ground ran up to meet him, not even a second later he leapt away, toward her and away from Naraku as Kagome's sacred arrow flew toward Naraku.

Inuyasha plastered himself to the ground; her arrow came so close that he felt a strong wind along his spine.

I didn't even think as I shot my arrow, I couldn't think because if I did I would question my "plan" and even chicken out of it. So many things could go wrong.

My arrow sunk into Naraku's chest and for a second there I thought that it wasn't powerful enough. But then rays of strong, almost blinding purple light burst out of Naraku. It was like his very pores were leaking my power. Like his body wasn't big enough to hold it.

It was as I looked into his hate-filled eyes that I realized that when he blew he would take us all with him. Ironically enough, it's not him that would kill us all but my own power.

NO! I wont let everybody die!

With a power she didn't even know she had, almost as if by sheer will power, Kagome encased everybody in some sort of protective bubble(s) seconds before Naraku blew apart and his power crashed over them all. It took out everything in a ten-mile radius, including his own castle and the demons.

Miraculously enough, the shields held and everybody was safe. Kirara and Sango were huddled in Miroku's arms while Shippo had wound up cradled by Inuyasha who lay near Kagome who stood in the same position she had been in when she fired her arrow. Suddenly all of her energy ran out of her and she collapsed onto the ground as the shards rain down on them like tiny pink stars.


:.:.:.:.:.:
Miles away from the fight, in a safe hiding place, Akago was on the ground writhing in pain, a thin trail of blood flowed from his mouth and nose. A few seconds passed before his body slowed down enough to the occasional twitch and he was able to get up, his normal calm and cool demeanor was gone. His lilac hair was covered in dirt, along with his face and clothes.

But his eyes, his strange lilac eyes had a vacant and confused look at them one second and the next shined with amusent. "So he's dead." He let out a evil, skin crawling chuckle, pleased with the revelation. "He will have a harder time getting back with only one shard of the jewel." Was his last thought before he passed out, on the earth floor.

Several days later he would be wake up in a human village with no recollection of where or who he was.

............................................................................................................................................................

Please review this chapter, even if you refuse to review the rest, because this one was especially hard for me and I really need the feed-back.

Oh and sorry about the length, I know its supper long, but its worth it no?
