Roger: Well at least it's almost summer.

Otose: True dat! To the story!

Kagome looked at the spot where the man once was and looked back at the note book in her hand.

She was conflicted. She now held the power to kill any demon or half demon she pleased, but the question was, could she do it? Would she be able to take a life? Even if it was an evil one?

Kagome stared at it and then looked at her necklace; she was given this because Jacki thought she was going to fight, not write some name down in a notebook.

"I guess it couldn't hurt to try it, after all it may be a dream." Kagome thought as she looked around the area trying to find something to write with. She sighed, but then thought of something, she found a pointy stick and pricked her finger. She quickly thought of a way to kill him, he needed to be dead and the only to make sure he was dead was stabbing his heart.

She hissed at the pain, but sucked it up and wrote in the notebook:

Naraku is dead a sleep when one of his detachments goes and stabs his heart and burns it.

Kagome read over what she wrote, it may not be the best way, nor may it work but it was simple.

She closed the notebook and walked back to the hut. She hid the notebook at the bottom of her bag and went to sleep.

*Morning*

Kagome yawned as she got up, and started to make breakfast. Slowly the other members of the group started to get up, smelling the food that she was cooking.

"Morning Kagome." Sango said as she sat down next to her.

"Good morning Sango, sleep well?" Kagome asked, as she kept on cooking.

"Yea, for once I didn't get groped during the night." Sango said, making Kagome laugh.

"That's good; think he's trying to impress you?"

"There's a good chance that he is."

"Well? Are you impressed?"

"Hmm, just a bit, I'd be more impressed when he stops flirting with every pretty girl he sees."

Kagome laughed at the statement, "I'm sure he will one day. He'll see that you're the only girl for him."

Sango smiled and blushed at the statement. Kagome smiled and called everyone else to come eat breakfast. They ate and once again started out on their journey to retrieve the shards of the Shikon Jewel.

*About 2 and half hours later*

The group had traveled quite a bit; they had briefly stopped to rest and then continued on.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, and grabbed the hilt of his sword and started growling.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Miroku asked as everyone searched around them.

"Kagura." Inuyasha stated as he looked above them, ready to attack.

She said nothing as she landed on the ground, Kanna behind her. She faced Kagome.

"Priestess, I believe this belongs to you." Was all she said as she threw something at Kagome. Kagome took a step forward to catch it and saw that it was the almost completed jewel. Her eyes widen.

'It does work.' Kagome thought as she looked at Kagura with questioning eyes.

"It seems, Hakudoshi grew tired of taking Naraku's orders as well and killed him last night, and because of this we are now free." Kagura answered. Kanna stepped forward towards Kagome.

"We also would like to thank you; perhaps in the future we will be there to assist you." Kanna said. Kagome nodded, still shocked that what she had written in that notebook had worked!

Before anyone could react Kagura pulled out her feather and flew away on it with Kagura in tow.

"What the hell just happened?" Inuyasha asked, confused by the whole conversation.

"It appears we have the almost completed jewel now." Sango said walking over to Kagome.

"Wait! Miroku's wind tunnel!" Shippo shouted running over to the monk. He stopped a few feet behind him as everyone else got out of the way.

With a deep breath Miroku undid the prayer beads sealing his curse. He expected to see a vortex of wind, but instead he saw nothing, nothing at all in front of him.

"It's gone." Miroku stated as he pulled his hand back to him and looked at it. Kagome and Sango smiled as they ran up to him.

"Miroku, you broke your family's curse!" Kagome cheered hugging the astonished monk. Sango said nothing as she hugged him as well, tears coming to her eyes.

Of course, moments like these don't last long with Miroku.

"Pervert!" and two loud smacks were heard as both girls glared at the monk holding both redden cheeks.

"Alright quite fooling around, we still got to make the jewel whole!" Inuyasha shouted as he and Shippo came over to them.

"That's right; we need to get Kouga's shards too." Shippo said, jumping on Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome sighed a bit, Kouga was nice, but then he went off saying that she was his woman. She didn't really appreciate that, she wasn't property!

"I guess we should head towards his den and ask for them." Kagome said, putting away the jewel in her pocket.

"Yes, we should also be on high alert. Now that we have the jewel, more demons will be after us trying to get it, so we should all be careful when going somewhere alone." Miroku said, everyone nodding with his theory.

They took a slight turn on the road and traveled through a forest, it was shady, but if they get attacked with would be hard, there so many tree's in the way!

"How long till we get there?" Shippo asked.

"Now Shippo, don't start with that." Kagome chided, not wanting the small fox child to complain and get bumped on the head by Inuyasha's fist.

"Sorry." Shippo apologized. Kagome gave him a smile and nodded, it wasn't like he meant it, he was still a kid and got easily bored.

"Don't worry we should be there soon." Kagome said, trying to cheer the kitsune up.

'Not too soon I hope' Kagome thought.
