Naraku watched in slow motion as the half of the jewel that he had began to glow and then fly off his neck and toward Kagome. He tried to reach out and grab it, but he was not fast enough! "You wench! How dare you steal that from me!"
Kagome stood and slipped the completed jewel on her neck and smiled a wicked smile at him. "It was inside my body when I was born. That makes it mine and you stole it from me. I was just taking it back. Hiei?"
Hiei fell to the ground in front of her. "Hai. I am ready. Yusuke, Kurama Kuwabara!"
Inuyasha was flung to the ground and found it hard to get back up this time. Even if he didn't have the power of the jewel anymore, he was still really strong on his own! He turned and watched in wonder at what was going on.
Kagome stood behind Hiei who was knelt down. She had her bow and arrow at the ready and was glowing pink. Hiei had the fire swirling his arm like he did when he killed his father but it was different. Kurama had his Rose Whip around his arm and he was holding some sort of sword.
Hiei nodded to Yusuke who had his Spirit Gun charged and ready. He was holding Kuwabara's Spirit Sword and the thorns of Kurama's Rose Whip was going to be woven through the dragon. He glared up at Naraku. "You dare to attack my mate. You are hanyou, surely your nose could tell who she has mated with. Now, you get the honor of having this attack. Done one other time. You can't avoid it."
Naraku smiled as he flared all of his tentacles and laughed. "You think that you can break my barrier! Even with out the jewel I have the strongest barrier around!"
Kagome smiled. "That is where I come in Naraku. Hiei is youkai, I am miko. During the bonding process, our energies mixed. Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha are you ready?"
Inuyasha was on his feet behind her. Kagome was the link that kept the strength of the front and the rear combined. She aimed and shot. Sango released her Hiraikotsu and Inuyasha unleashed his Backlash Wave the same time that Hiei released The Dragon Of The Darkness Flame.

Sesshomaru stopped and gasped as he spun around when he felt the clash of energy. It was Naraku's, Inuyasha's, Kagome's and someone else. He starred as the saw flashes of pink, white, purple and black on the far horizon.
Kikyo was between where Sesshomaru was and the surge of power. She had felt this power once before. She turned and ran toward where it was coming from.
Koenma and Botan starred in a state of horror at the screen in his office. Ogre feinted and the screen showed nothing but swirling energy!

Just as soon as it started, it stopped. Naraku was dead. While all the combined attacks on his body weakened him and weakened the barrier Kagome shot another arrow and broke the barrier containing Kagura and the baby. Miroku took his chance then and sucked the baby out of Kagura's arms and into his wind tunnel. Naraku's screams stopped and his body disappeared inside Hiei's dragon.
Kagome fell to her knees and smiled. Instantly Hiei was at her side picking her up. "Miroku?"
Miroku uncovered his hand and watched with a shocked expression as the hole that at one time was his Wind Tunnel closed. "He is really dead. It's gone. The Wind Tunnel is gone!"
Sango smiled as she threw herself into his arms and hugged him. "You will not have to suffer that fate after all Miroku!"
Miroku smiled. He hugged the woman in his arms. She was sobbing and happy for him that he no longer had to fear the fate that awaited him when the Wind Tunnel spread. However since the whole jewel was together, she knew that Kohaku was not with them anymore.
He held her back at arm's length as he starred into her eyes. He saw pain and sorrow mixed with joy. "Sango, I want to tell you something."
"Hai."
"I love you!" Then he pulled her to him and kissed her!
Kagome wrapped her arms around Hiei. "I remember the first time you told me that."
Hiei nodded. "Hai."
Yusuke was sitting with his back to everyone. "Can we go home now? Hiei you are a telepath. Tell Koenma or Botan to make the damn portal already. I am going to be in enough trouble when I get home."
Inuyasha was there in front of Hiei and Kagome. "Kagome."
Kagome's hand instinctively went to the jewel around her neck. She looked up at the serious face of Inuyasha. "What Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha had been thinking about it. The only two women in the world that he would ever think about spending the rest of his life with were beyond his reach in this life. Kagome was mated, and Kikyo wasn't real. He had made a choice. "I have made a decision on what I want now that we have the jewel."
"What is that Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha smiled as he pulled his sword off his side and handed it to Kagome. "Keep this in your time away from Sesshomaru. He would kill just because he could with it. Thank you Kagome. You became my best friend in many ways. However, I can't do this life anymore."
Kagome felt the tears rolling out of her eyes. "Iie! You cant be thinking that Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha held a hand up and stopped her. "I am going to Kikyo. I will follow her to hell. I can't stay here anymore Kagome. I can't see you with someone else and know it was my fault for not choosing you sooner. Kikyo can't stay in this world forever. When you get back to your time, wish the jewel away."
He did not stop to see what she would say or do. He just turned and began to walk away.
Kagome was frantic. She loved Hiei and was not going to try to leave him for Inuyasha. But she was not going to loose a friend like him! "Inuyasha wait! I won't let you do this. I have an idea. I know that I have to purify the jewel out of existence. Otherwise there will always be that chance that another Naraku will show up. This era or the next. But I don't want to lose any of you."
Sango turned sad eyes to Kagome. "But, how can we do that? The jewel is what lets you, Hiei and Yukina pass through the well."
Kagome thought for a second. She jumped from Hiei's arms and went to Shippo. She whispered to him, "Shippo, do you remember the seal and the statue that you put on Inuyasha to make him stay put?"
Shippo nodded.
"Can you do that so that he has to stay on my bike?"
Shippo nodded. Then sat on her shoulder as they went back to Inuyasha and the others. She had the statue small in her hand and Shippo had the seal ready to slap on it as soon as it grew.
Kagome stood on one side of her bike and smiled. "Inuyasha, come here please."
Inuyasha thought that she was acting strange, but he walked over to her anyway. "Hai."
Kagome reached out and grabbed both his hands and held them in hers. "I want you to take this bike with you. Give it to a kid along the way that you think would have fun with it. Then she placed his hands on it and dropped the statue to them.
Shippo jumped and landed placing the spell on the statue.
Inuyasha looked at the statue then growled at them both. "What the hell is this for!" Trying his hardest to tug his hands out from under the statue that kept them glued firmly to the bike.
Kagome walked back to Hiei and smiled back to Inuyasha. "You stay put. I am going to talk to Koenma. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama will you go with Sango and Miroku and help them try to keep him under control?"
Kurama smiled and nodded. Kuwabara and Yusuke complained as they said they would. They didn't want to baby-sit a hanyou though.
Kagome smiled at Hiei. "Will you ask Koenma to do that portal here?"
Hiei closed his eyes and smiled. Then the portal showed up and he and Kagome were gone.
Inuyasha had already started his ranting and raving and Yusuke was not about to hear if from this idiot hanyou for however long it took to get back to this village they were going to. 'Spirit Gun'
Sango saw the flash of energy from him and then Inuyasha went down. "What did you do?"
Kuwabara smiled. "He knocked him out. Didn't want to hear him running his mouth. His wife does that too him enough."
Yusuke turned and pointed his finger at him. "Ha ha funny asshole. Shut up and help me pick up the idiot and the bike."
Miroku snaked an arm around Sango. "Don't worry itoushii. I am sure that they are trust worthy. Kagome trusts them remember."
Sango nodded and followed the two strange men. 'Kagome what are you doing?'
