The next day Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kikiyo and Sesshomaru set out to go and find Naraku's castle. They had been traveling for hours and Jezebeth had been gathering more and more jewel shards as they got closer to Naraku's castle. Just as they had found a clearing to rest Jezebeth jumped up into a branch that hung over the stream they were at and said, "How much father…Kagome?"

"Um….I think it's just another ten miles.

"That's not far…we should take a breather here so that we're not tried when we do find the castle." Miroku said as he and Sango got off of Kirara.

"I can make us a small lunch." Kagome offered.

"I'm not hungry." Jezebeth was heard as she jumped up into a higher branch.

"You have to eat." Sango was heard.

"I'm not hungry…I just want to go and kill Naraku." She hissed.

"Jezebeth!" Inuyasha growled.

But before they could continue what they were talking about Sesshomaru pulled Miroku and Sango out of the way while Kikiyo placed a barrier around the three of them. But before the wind blades could even reach the barrier they stopped in mid air and remained still as Jezebeth turned around to reveal her brilliant blues eyes to her opponents. Kagome quickly aimed her arrow at the wind witch that stood across the river and said, "What do you want Kagura?"

'Kagome doesn't blame her…she knows that Kagura didn't want to do what she wanted to do.' Sango thought as she pulled out her Hiraikotsu.

"I am here to…" Kagura began only to have her wind blades come straight at her in a much faster speed.

"You will die just as Naraku will die." Jezebeth was heard.

But before the attack could reach Kagura the attack was absorbed into Kanna's mirror as Kanna appeared in front of her. While Jezebeth got ready to attack Kagome lowered her bow and stepped out of the barrier before she reinforced it so that Jezebeth could not get out. Before Inuyasha or Sesshomaru could stop her actions Kagome stood before the two sisters and said, "Where is he? Tell us where he is and you won't be controlled anymore."

"He is close by…he has ordered us to take you to him…is wishes to speak with Jezebeth." Kanna replied as she finally spoke out of the usual voice that Naraku had given her.

"How do we know that this is not a trap?" Sesshomaru growled as he eyed Kagura.

"Because we want our freedom and Naraku has decided that he has waited long enough for the final battle." Kagura answered as she kept her eyes linked with his.

"Well then…" Jezebeth was heard as she changed back to her usual self. "Lead the way."

"Kikiyo…you must be careful…Naraku wishes to kill you first." Kanna told her as she and Kagura began to make their way back to the castle.

As they followed the two they couldn't help but feel the demonic aura rise around them. They knew that Naraku was drawing out the power of the jewel but they could only hope that they would be able to get the jewel back. Just as they reached the mean gates they were surrounded by hundreds of demons. Kagura and Kanna regretfully stepped aside and allowed the demons to attack. "We're so sorry." Kagura was heard as she turned away.

"Stay away." Kagome hissed as she and Kikiyo stood side by side.

However the demon didn't listen and they would regret their choice. As soon as Kagome and Kikiyo had joined hands they closed their eyes and purified all of the demons that had surrounded them. While Kagome concentrated on not harming Inuyasha, Kirara, Sesshomaru, Kagura or Kanna; Kikiyo control the amount of energy that they used to kill each demon. As they finished off the last of them they heard Naraku's amused filled voice say, "So Kikiyo…you no longer hate your reincarnation…even if she has taken the man you love."

"He no longer loves me just as I no longer love him." Kikiyo hissed.

"Naraku…how dare you try to use my little brother to get to me." Jezebeth was heard as Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and herself began to transform.

"My plan would have worked if it were not for my foolish salves." Naraku stated as he landed before the group.

"Naraku…today you die." Inuyasha growled.

"I do not think so…for I have more demons to keep you busy while I use the shikon jewel." Naraku growled as he summoned another thousand demons.

And so it began, while they fought off the demon Jezebeth stood perfectly still as she began to control the demons with her powers. Once she had linked at least five different weak demons she sent them to go and help the others while she ran over to fight Naraku. But just as she was about to hit him the pinned her against a tree and injected her with some green liquid. Jezebeth fell over in pain as she hissed out, "What did you do?"

"My sweet girl…your grandmother did not tell you? There is a special potion that one can use against your kind…however since you are a mere hanyou you will convert back to your inu-hanyou form." Naraku answered as he couldn't help but laugh at the fallen girl.

"Jezebeth!" Kikiyo yelled as she quickly made her way to the girl.

"Just the person I wanted to reach her." Naraku whispered as he acted as if he had left.

"Kikiyo…stay back!" Jezebeth tired to call out as she tried to fight off the potion.

'Don't worry about me…just go and fight…protect our…pack…protect our…family.' She heard her inner dragon demon as she began to fade away.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she continued to fire her arrows and her energy balls into the demon filled sky.

"Go!" Sango was heard.

"We can handle them." Miroku added.

"Inuyasha…go to your pup." Sesshomaru growled as he transformed back to use the Tokijin.

Inuyasha quickly ran over to Kagome and pulled her into his arms just until they were out of the demon filled area. But just as he placed Kagome down a blue orb came flying into her and knocked her back onto her butt. Inuyasha turned to where Kikiyo once stood and saw a crying Jezebeth in her inu-hanyou form as she began to battle Naraku.

"Inuyasha…go…help Jezebeth…I'll be fine." Kagome said as she tried to catch her breath.

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah…I just need to catch my breath…go and help her." She answered as she placed herself in a barrier.

Knowing that she would be safe in her barrier Inuyasha kissed her briefly before he took off to go and help Jezebeth. Just as she had caught her weapon Inuyasha had appeared and had managed to break through Naraku's barrier with the red Tetsusiga. Once he had pulled Jezebeth back a few feet her turned to her and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine but where is Kagome?" she answered.

"She is safe…come on let's get rid of this bastard." He growled as his eyes began to bleed into a red color.

"Ok…this is for Kikiyo and for Shippo." Jezebeth growled as she whipped the blood off of the side of her lip.

"How sweet…but I believe that I will have the power I have always wanted." Naraku growled as he secretly used one of his tentacles to kill Kagome and to get the half of the jewel he need.

"You don't even have the all of the jewel…what makes you think you can win?" Miroku was heard as he and Sesshomaru joined Inuyasha's side while Sango checked up on Kagome.

"Because…I do know." He roared as he was finial able to enter her barrier from the ground.

Inuyasha and the others turned around to see Sango using her sword to cut off Naraku's tentacle off of Kagome. Inuyasha watched in horror as she turned to meet his gaze. Her eyes were filled with sadness and she was in pain. Inuyasha quickly ran over to her side as he began to feel the effects of their mating take its course.

"Inuyasha…I'm so sorry…please forgive me love." Kagome said as she struggled to breathe.

"Shh…don't worry love…we'll see each other soon…just wait for me." Inuyasha whispered as he allowed his tears to fall onto her dying form.

"Inuyasha…it hurts…I'm scared." Kagome said as she began to cry alongside her mat and friends.

"Kagome…Kagome…please…don't leave us." Sango cried as she was held back by Miroku.

"How dare you…how dare you hurt my family!" Sesshomaru roared as he began to transform into his true and pure form.

"Ku ku ku….you should have protect her." Naraku mocked as he watched the sense play out before him.

Once he was in his true form Sesshomaru attacked Naraku without a care. The bastard had just killed his brother and his sister and he would be damned if he would allow this to go unpunished. 'I will kill you even if it casts me my life.' He thought as he began the final battle against Naraku. Once Kagome had passed on, Inuyasha carefully laid her body down and stood up to join the fight. Sango and Miroku fought side by side knowing that they would never have their friends back. He would fight till his last breath to kill Naraku.

'No…get up…get up…no…' Jezebeth thought as she stared as Kagome's emotionless body. 'This wasn't supposed to happen…you aren't suppose to die…what about Shippo?' she continued as she stood up to see the others fight. 'Stop it…stop it.' She thought as she watched them fight. But just as Naraku was about to do the same thing he had done to Kagome Jezebeth closed her eyes and yelled out, "No!"

"Naraku was sent flying across the battle field as the jewel was ripped out of him. Jezebeth had overcome the potion he had injected her with and she would show no mercy.

'This is my only chance…' Inuyasha thought as he used the wind scar against the weakened hanyou.

Once the dust had cleared Inuyasha was found on the cold floor with the Tetsusiga at his side while Naraku's ashes road with the wind. Sesshomaru quickly transformed and carried his brother over to join his mate's side. Sango and Miroku watched as he slowly began to die. Sango turned to Sesshomaru and asked, "What's going on? Why is Inuyasha dying?" as her tears ran down the side of her face.

"His life is linked to that of his mates…he will die and join his mate so that they are reincarnated into the same life." Sesshomaru answered.

"What about Shippo?" Sango asked. "What about their son?"

"Sesshomaru…what about the Tenseiga?" Miroku asked.

"Use it…use the Tenseiga." Jezebeth was heard as she began to cry.

Sesshomaru pulled out his healing sword and told the two humans to stand aside. He could see the messengers of the underworld but these were different. They were not the demon like creators but small miko's and priests that were guiding his to the underworld. 'I must try.' He thought as he swung the blade. When nothing happened, Miroku and Sango turned to face the demon lord as he said, "I am not allowed to bring them back…" in such a disappointed voice that clearly showed his pain.

'No…what do I do now? Shippo…Shippo doesn't have any parents again.' Jezebeth thought as she began to blame herself.

'Make a wish…wish to trade places with Kagome.' Her inner demons stated.

"No…no." Sango's cries could be heard.

Just as Jezebeth stood up Kyashi landed next to her as he looked around the battle field. He had been told to come and stop the princess from doing what she planned on doing. Just as he was about to take the jewel form her hands, Jezebeth slammed Kyashi against a nearby tree and lifted Sesshomaru, Miroku and Sango up into the air so that she could sit in front of her two adoptive parents. 'I will trade my place so that they can finally live as they should…together and in love.' She thought as she lifted the jewel up into the sky to make her wish. "I wish that Kagome would have all of my inu-hanyou blood so that she and Inuyasha can live together forever." 'I also wish that she would be able to cross the well on last time before she stays in the feudal era so that she can say good bye to her family.' Jezebeth thought as she began to feel weak and colder than usual.
