Inuyasha caved and withdrew the Tetsusaiga he dashed forward and flung his blade outward, Naraku blocked it with a simple swipe of his wrist. Meanwhile, three of the 'good guys' were regaining consciousness. Kagome crawled weakly form her spot on the ground toward the Kitsunes and lay down so that she was shielding them. Meanwhile, Dethen began a crawl towards Miroku, like Kagome he sat up so that any spare attack would hit him instead of the two disposed of warriors. Little did he know that Miroku was awake. "I don't know who you are but move, I want a view of the battle."

In pure shock Dethen moved out of his way and the two men sat, crouched and watching as time and time again Inuyasha attacked Naraku, and Naraku blocked or dodged, taunting Inuyasha. Finally Dethen spoke. "INUYASHA! REMEMBER THOSE DAYS! REMEMBER WHAT I TAUGHT YOU, WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME!" Naraku turned to look at Dethen, and received a wound on his back for it; Tetsusaiga plunged deep with Naraku, and then was released. Blood flowing, the angry Demon Elite made his way towards Dethen angrily.

Grinning the Half-Youkai drew his sword, which looked something like the Tetsusaiga and plunged it forward. The movement had been so fast, not even Inuyasha had seen it. "ETERNAL INTERFERENCE!" The blade suddenly doubled in length, and it went through the wound already created by Inuyasha, somehow Naraku expelled it from his body and moved out of Dethen's attack range, only to be meant full force by Tetsusaiga.

Holding his wounds, Inuyasha made his way forward, toward the fallen Naraku. He tried to reach down, but some kind of shield seemed to be protecting his nemesis. The shield repelled him hard into a tree. Angrily he fell back and couldn't move. "I'm... too tired... to kill him... Jeff... my old friends... finish him off." Jeff shook his head. "Inuyasha, I can't, the gods forbid me, but if I'm not mistaken, you have something to aid yourself." From his position on the ground Inuyasha grunted in understanding. "Fine... it's my last resort." He stood, and limped past the slowly re-awakening Naraku, and towards his companions. He stooped over Kagome and whispered. "I need the Shikon shard." Reluctantly she gave it to him.

Inuyasha nodded towards Miroku who removed both, his and Sango's from their place and tossed them toward Inuyasha. He gulped as he reached into his pocket and withdrew a few shards. Carefully he began to place them in his own body. First he put one in each finger on hands, another in either palm, and then another in either shoulder.

As Naraku made it to his feet, unaware of the addition to Inuyasha, said Hanyou let out a gasp of surprise, the power running through him, it was unbearable. He soon tossed IT aside... he rid himself of Tetsusaiga. It was happening; yes... he was changing.... "DIE NARAKU!" Amazingly, a few seconds later he was still in complete control, but by the look on Naraku's face, he knew he had transformed. He lunged forward and stuck his claws into Naraku's chest and tore violently.

(A/N: Many tiring hours of fighting, re-awakenings and near killings of the Kitsune pair, later...)

Inuyasha felt himself weakening all at once, he still had a lot of strength, but he was weak, he looked up, at nothing. He was human again, and at a bad time. He had Naraku hanging weakly in his grasp, and now Naraku was breaking free. "Hah hah hah, so Inuyasha's time of weakness is a New Moon? You were so close Dog ears...now you all die." Naraku's voice was weak, but Inuyasha knew it spoke the truth all the same.

Jeff Dethen wasn't about to give up. "The gods have called you forth Monk." He nudged Miroku and looked pointedly at his right hand. Suddenly, it all made sense. Miroku jumped up at once, as Inuyasha's hair turned to ebony, and the shards were involuntarily expelled from both of them. "INUYASHA, QUICK BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR CLAWS, HE HAS ONE REMAINING JEWEL SHARD, IN HIS BACK!" Kagome called, and happy to oblige, Inuyasha rammed his quickly shrinking claws into the surprised Naraku's back. As the last shard left him Naraku felt a dark force begin to pull him away, the monk had opened up the wind tunnel.

Unexplainably the Wind Tunnel's size doubled, and the sucking increased. Naraku looked towards his victim soon to be turned killer and his eyes widened as he was released from Inuyasha. Too weak to do anything except scream in agony, he saw all the bad memories from his life, but mainly he saw only darkness. Laughing Naraku found a surprise hold on a nearby tree branch, but that wouldn't even last long unless he got his foot on that branch below it... there... wait .... NO!

With one last gasp of their energies, it seemed that both Kagome and Sango had decided to awaken fully now. In unison that spoke. "DIE ONIGAWA!" Naraku felt a pang of hate as an arrow pierce his right ear, and as a large boomerang sliced his life supports from the base of the tree. He flung his hand forward and a wave of dark energy hit Kagome in the chest, she closed her eyes and fell backwards non-moving. Suddenly he began to laugh as he flew forward; he let out one last yell. "YOU'VE NOT ONE THE WAR! MY MASTER SHALL BEAT YOU! HE AND SESSHOMARU WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Then in a flash of screams and lights, Naraku was gone. The beads and the cloth around Miroku's hand suddenly dissolved, and the Wind Tunnel closed.

All was still and silent as the long forgotten Kouga awoke, he stood yawning and looked around him... why was everyone asleep? Had they let Naraku get away, AGAIN!?

A/N: Poor Kouga, so clue-less and unlucky. It's alright Kouga Hugs Kouga. Looks at all the people watching him. Yes I'm a guy hugging a guy! Deal with it.

Serious A/N: One more chapter, what's up with Kagome!? And speaking of such, what is Jeff's connection with Inuyasha, and why does he have a name that comes from our Era?
