"Why is he trying to kill you?" asks Naruto
"Because he afraid of my spiritual power. And he doesn't have his heart." said Kikyo
"Do you know where is it?" asks Inuyasha.
"I saw Kagura holding something and was running away." said Kikyo
"Do you think it's a heart?" asks Miroku
"I think so." said Kikyo.
"Why didn't he keep his heart?" asks Naruto
"Because Naraku wanted to rid himself of his heart. The human heart that yearned for Kikyo." said Kagome
"Once before, Naraku tried to cut his human heart." said Sango
"That was when he created Muso, the one who possessed the heart and memories of the bandit, Onigumo. But Naraku absorbed Muso back into his body, saying it had been too soon to produce him." said Miroku
"Then Naraku was…" said Kagome
"Yes. Those ominous fleshy forms we saw inside Mt. Hakurei…" said Miroku.
"He was creating a body he could cast out which contained his own human heart." said Miroku
"Then Kagura was holding the human heart that I saw." said Kikyo.
"Naraku tried to kill you, but lucky Naruto saved Kikyo's life." said Inuyasha
Koga had enough for hearing things, so he got up.
"I'm going to find out about Naraku's plan." He said as he walks to Kagome and held her hand. "I'm off, Kagome. Take care."
"You'll be careful." said Kagome as Koga and his crews are leaving.
"We're leaving tomorrow." said Inuyasha.
"Naruto." said Kagome as she took out Naruto's headband and gave it to him. "Thank you. It really helps me."
Naruto grabbed his headband and wears it on his forehead.
"You're welcome. You should go sleep." He said with a smile.

"I wonder if Shintaro and the others are okay?" asks Shippo

"They're alive!" he said as he started to run down on the hill to reach Shintaro's village. Kagome and the others are running with Naruto. When they're there, they saw Shintaro and his sisters are helping the villagers.

"Looks like someone wants to capture us." said Miroku
"It'll be better we leave…" said Naruto
"Hold on… there's something about this man." said Kikyo.
"What is it…?" asks Inuyasha as he started to snuff of the man's scent. "That's funny. I sense evil aura on him."

"Kagome!" said Sango
"Come, wench! It is my lady's order!" said the guard.
"Just me?" thought Kagome.
"Hey, you let go of her…" said Naruto as the groups of the guard are in front Naruto and the others while Kagome is being taken by a guard. Naruto can't stand here and watching Kagome is being taken, so he kicked one of a guard. Miroku and Sango started to attack the guards.
Kikyo started to shock that she senses Kagura's scent.
"Inuyasha! Kagura is in…" she said
Inuyasha jumped into the castle and fight the guards for Naruto.
"Naruto! Go save Kagome!" he yells
Naruto nods as he went inside the house and follows Kagura's scent. His sense of Kagura's scent is getting closer, so he kicked the door and didn't see anyone in there. All he saw a dead lady is on the ground, so he went to her and used Six Path power to restore her life.
"Are you okay?!" asks Naruto
"I'm fine… I remembered I feel like I'm controlled by… baby…" said the lady
"Baby?" thought Naruto as he never heard of a baby can control the lady like that. "What happened?! Do you know where they go…" as he found a scent of Kagome.
"You should go save your friend… I will stop my men attacking your friend outside." said the lady
"Thank you." said Naruto as he went into Sennin me to sense Kagome's scent. He has to hurry before something happens to Kagome. "Kagome… please hold on! Don't die on me!" as he flashback where his old friend Neji died in the fourth shinobi war. This time… he hopes he can make it.

Kagura took Kagome to the hidden house where no one can find her. Kagome was holding a baby, but he's evil.
"Shikon fragment…" said Kagura as she saw Kanna is holding the Shikon.
"Implant that tainted Shikon fragment into Kagome. Then Kagome will be completely under our control. My mission is done. Once this is over, I shall go into hiding."
"With this, Kagome will become Naraku's slave." said Kagura as she begins to walk toward to Kagome. "The same fate as Kohaku."
"Kohaku…? This impure light… You intend to place that fragment in me? No!" thought Kagome as she tried to move, but she can't move her body. "Huh?! I-I can't move! Is it because this baby… has a gasp upon my soul? I have to break free…"
"Wait, Kagura." said the baby
"Huh?" asks Kagura
"She's a stubborn one. She's regained consciousness." said the baby.
"Naruto… help me!" thought Kagome
"It's useless. He can't find you in here. Think hard, Kagome… When you learned that Kikyo had saved by Naruto… aren't you feeling angry?" asks the baby as Kagome became shocked. "Inuyasha's heart belongs to Kikyo. Don't you feel bitter towards Inuyasha? Don't you hate Kikyo? It's okay to hate. You are not wrong to hate. Fill your heart with hatred once more. And let me grasp your soul!" as he made Kagome closes her eyes.
"So she gave in…" said Kagura as she walked to Kagome and about to place the Shikon into her.
"I don't like Inuyasha..? I'm jealous of Kikyo…? It's true, but…" thought Kagome as she repelled the Shikon fragment.
"What's going on? She repelled the fragment." said Kagura
"N-No…" said Kagome
"She spoke… My suggestive powers have no effect on this girl."
"What you're saying is all wrong. It's true that I like Inuyasha and got jealous of Kikyo, but there's someone… the one who taught me how to get rid of my loneliness and suffering. He's the same as me. I'm… I'm in love with Naruto!" yells Kagome
"Kagome!" yells Naruto as he broke through a wall and saw Kagome falling.
"Naruto…" said Kagome as she was surprised that Naruto came for her and let go of the baby. "You…came for me." her thought as Naruto caught her from falling.
"No wonder Naraku can't stand that girl." said Kagura
"You son of a bitch! What did you do to Kagome?!" asks Naruto
"Hmph… I just tugged her soul a little bit. There's darkness in that girl's heart. It's too bad. One more step and I would have broken her soul." said the baby
"So… you're the one who tried to capture Kagome's soul… How dare you!" said Naruto as his aura is growing longer when he became a rage. He wanted to kill that evil baby.
"Naruto!" said Sango as she and others have arrived.
"Are you alright, Kagome?!" asks Shippo
"Kagura! Kanna!" said Miroku
"I see… Kikyo, you're still alive." said the baby
"You must be Naraku's human heart." said Kikyo
"Well then… Perhaps I am indeed the human heart which Naraku once possessed. I can clearly see into a person's heart. Their weaknesses and frailties. I know just what to do in order to make one suffer, feel sorrow or hate. I can see it all so clearly. If there's one feeling that I didn't inherit from Naraku… It's the anguish of yearning for Kikyo… Where do you think that feeling went? The disgusting clumps of flesh you saw at Mt. Hakurei… That is it." said the baby
"That was the abandoned heart?" thought Miroku
"No wondered why Kagura took human's heart." thought Kikyo
"And so, I am free of suffering and sadness." said the baby
"Listen you brat… I don't give a damn about you." said Naruto as he transformed into Rikudou Sennin and raise his left hand up. He created Bijuu Dama Rasengan. "You're the one who gonna get suffer! Senpou Bijuu Dama Rasengan!" as he's stretching out his chakra arm to hit Kagura and the others.
The baby created a strong barrier to blocks Bijuu Dama Rasengan, but...
"Shit… He's breaking my barrier!" his thought as Bijuu Dama Rasengan broke his barrier, Kagura quickly dodge Naruto's attack by using a big feather to fly up. Naruto and the others ran outside before Bijuu Dama Rasengan blow up the house.
"Damn… his power is too powerful. If the barrier is broken, we couldn't have the end like Naraku." thought Kagura.
"Don't think this is over. I'll come to see you again." said the baby.
"You think I'm gonna let you get away! Gudo Dama!" yells Naruto as he shoots Gudo Dama at Kagura.
Kagura dodged those Gudo Dama, but they can explode it. The baby ranted how strong Naruto is it. He almost got killed by Naruto's Gudo Dama.
"Damn that Naruto… he doesn't even listen to me. So, Kagome true love is Naruto." His thought.
"They gone…" said Kikyo as she looked at Naruto is protecting Kagome. "I see… You're in love with Kagome." as she happy how Naruto and Kagome's relationship.

"It's so beautiful. Thank you, Naruto." said Kagome
"Anytime, Kagome. If you get so bored at your home, just tell me. I'll do something fun!" said Naruto with a smile as Kagome giggled for him saying that.
"Thank you, I'll be fine. I have my friends in my time." said Kagome as her head leads against Naruto's shoulder. Naruto is blushing how the girl does that. "Naruto…"
"What is it?" asks Naruto with a blush.
"Thank you for saving me." said Kagome as she fell asleep.

"You're welcome." He said with a warmth smile.
Several days later, Naruto took good care of Kagome. Kagome managed to get up and going back to her world.

"Thinking about your village?" asks Kurama
"Yeah… I kinda miss them. The truth is I really want to go home, but…" said Naruto
"You can't go home because Kagome." said Matatabi

"Make your decisions. I don't mind if I stay right guys?" asks Saiken as the Bijuu agree with him
"Decision… huh?" asks Naruto as he looked up the blue sky.

"What is it?" asks Kagome.
"I'm sorry about your father's car accident when you're little child. You must have rough time." said Naruto in worried.

"Naruto, it's okay. I have my mother with me. She took care of..." she said
"Kagome, I'll protect you with my life and make you happy. That's a promise for your father and mother." said Naruto
