"Could you do the same for Mukotsu, Kyokostu, Renkotsu, Suikotsu and Ginkotsu?" Bankotsu asked me.

"Uh I don't know about Mukotsu and Kyokostu since they don't have jewel shards. I could certainly try." I looked to Bankotsu as I really didn't want to remove the jewel shards from Renkotsu. I knew he had it out for me since the entire Mai situation and before that he had a little crush on me. "I'll try and find out though." I smiled to him as I grabbed his hand as we were walking home from the library. As soon as I got home I would be returning to Feudal Japan to hopefully get more clues on how to kill Yoshi.

There wasn't much about Yoshi in textbooks except that he was a powerful general and thousands died at his feet. I couldn't find anything that had to do with killing him. Starfire didn't even help me! It was so frustrating at times as I was the only person who could successfully stop Yoshi. Bankotsu told me not to worry but I couldn't help it. I confided in Kagome as I felt like she could understand as she was Kikyo's reincarnation.

We walked in the house as Inuyasha was there to get Kagome. He tensed a bit as he saw Bankotsu. I was glad that they were at least a tiny bit civil to each other.

"Kagome home?" I asked Inuyasha as he was tapping his foot.

"She should be but she hasn't come down yet!" He growled.

"I'll go see what she's up to. You gather our things along with Jakotsu." I smiled to Bankotsu before running up to Kagome's room.

"Hey Kagome are you alright?" I spoke before I knocked on the door. No answer. I opened it to see that she was asleep. I smiled before I went to wake her.

"What time is it?" She asked me worried.

"Like five o'clock." I told me.

"Oh my god! I must of fell asleep!" She got up and frantically began to pack.

"I'm sure Inuyasha hasn't been here for very long." I reassured her.

"You think so?" She asked me.

"I do." I smiled as I grabbed some of her things for her.

"Did you find anything on Yoshi?" She asked as we walked down the stairs.

"No." I frowned.

"You'll figure it out." She smiled at me before Inuyasha took Kagome's bags and went off to the shrine.

"At least he behaves when Bankotsu and Jakotsu are here." I sighed before hugging Kagome goodbye. Usually Kagome and I said our goodbyes before going into the well because we had to go on our searches as soon as we reached Feudal Japan. I looked to Jakotsu and Bankotsu as Kagome jumped in the well.

"Where should we stop first?" I asked the two.

"What information did you find on Yoshi?" Jakotsu asked.

"Nothing too informative." I sighed.

"Well how are you supposed to kill Yoshi then?" He asked.

"I guess I have to figure it out." I sighed before jumping in the well. I climbed out just as Bankotsu jumped through then followed Jakotsu. Renkotsu, Suikotsu and Ginkotsu were waiting for us.

"Big Brother how was your visit?" Suikotsu asked.

"It was good! Essie figured out how to have us live without the jewel shards!" He smiled with glee. I couldn't help but smile at his happiness. Oh how it was so adorable.

"Can it be?" Renkotsu asked.

"Yeah but don't think I won't reverse it." I threatened him. I knew it was a lie but I did have help from Michiko and Starfire so that had to mean something. I looked down at Starfire as it glowed. Nothing happened afterward but it was odd that Starfire did that. I disregarded what happened and went up to Ginkotsu

"I also keep the jewel shards." I added before I got on Ginkotsu. I looked at him for a minute before placing Starfire on his neck. I said the chant aloud and marked what I could. Then his jewel shard came out and went into my necklace.
"I wish I could give you the ability to speak." I frowned.

"Gesh." He said to me. Bankotsu helped me down as Renkotsu and Suikotsu stared in awe. I smiled to myself before I did the same to Renkotsu and Suiotsu. Once that was done we headed off in a general direction.

"You know removing those jewel shards had to be done." I heard a voice after I was regretting the decision of removing Renkotsu's jewel shards. I looked around as I thought I was hearing things.

"Your not crazy. Trust me. It's Starfire." Starfire spoke to me.

"How come I can hear you now? And how is this even possible?" I whispered.

"I've been waiting for you to summon me to remove the jewel shards from your companions. It was the key to unlocking my full abilities. I was forged eons ago by a goddess intended for the uses of good and whatever my master needed. The goddess's spirit resides within me along with a part of Michiko." She explained.

"So can you help me defeat Yoshi?" I asked her.

"Sadly no. You must figure that out for yourself. If there is anything else I can help you with just ask. Though we do have much to discuss about the future." She spoke.

"What about the future?" I asked her.

"It must wait until you defeat Yoshi." She said. I nodded before I looked over at Bankotsu who looked worried that I was speaking to myself. I sat for a minute as I was trying to think of a not so crazy explanation.

"I can talk to my necklace. Her name is Starfire and she can provide me with information." I explained as best as I could.

"Are you feeling alright Essie?" He asked me.

"I'm telling the truth." I looked to him, "After all, Starfire helped me take out your jewel shards." I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrows.

"She does have a point big brother." Jakotsu said to Bankotsu. I smiled at him as I gave him a thumbs up.

"Just because your necklace helped you remove the jewel shards doesn't make it able to talk to you." Renkotsu stated.

"If I could prove it I would. You'll just have to trust me." I looked at the rode in front of us. I clutched Starfire as I was trying to figure out what could kill Yoshi.

"Can I have a hint?" I asked Starfire.

"You'd have to ask Michiko." Starfire told me. I pouted for a minute before getting into a meditating position while trying to not fall of Ginkotsu.

"Oh Michiko, I pray to you for a hint to defeat Yoshi." I prayed quietly. It was silent for a few minutes.

"I congratulate you for unlocking Starfire. I will give you a small hint but that is all. The answer has been right in front of you all along. Good luck Emily." I heard Michiko whisper in my ear.

"Right in front of me all along?" I questioned. I bit my lip as I was thinking about Michiko's hint. I was thinking for so long that I didn't realize we stopped to make camp.

"What has you thinking this hard?" Suikotsu asked me.

"The hint I was given to defeat Yoshi. Apparently the answer has been right in front of me all along." I told him.

"Michiko gave you a hint?" He asked, I nodded. "Maybe it's something you think about all the time." He suggested.

"Bankotsu isn't the solution to defeating Yoshi." I joked. He laughed a bit. "But in all seriousness I can't think of a thing that would defeat Yoshi." I flopped onto my back and looked up at the sky as it slowly changed into a purply-pink.

"We have faith that you can kill Yoshi." Jakotsu reassured me.

"Yeah but the thing is that I don't have faith in myself." I groaned.

"Maybe the answer will be clear when you have faith in yourself." Bankotsu sat down beside me and began to stroke my hair. I looked up at him defeated.

"You need to rest for a while. Just don't think about Yoshi." He suggested.

"But how can I not think about Yoshi? If I don't defeat him then the world is doomed!" I threw my hands up as I was being over-dramatic now.

"We have faith that you can kill Yoshi." Jakotsu reassured me.

"Yeah but the thing is that I don't have faith in myself." I groaned.

"Maybe the answer will be clear when you have faith in yourself." Bankotsu sat down beside me and began to stroke my hair. I looked up at him defeated.

"You need to rest for a while. Just don't think about Yoshi." He suggested.

"But how can I not think about Yoshi? If I don't defeat him then the world is doomed!" I threw my hands up as I was being over-dramatic now.

"You were meant to come through the well to defeat Yoshi no?" Jakotsu asked.

"Yeah..." I looked up at him.

"Then you will be able to defeat Yoshi! You wouldn't be sent here if you couldn't!" Jakotsu smiled. I smiled back.

"Thanks Jakotsu." I spoke softly as I moved my head into Bankotsu's lap. I closed my eyes as I let him play with my hair.

"Suikotsu and Renkotsu, do you want to go get food for us?" Bankotsu asked the two.

"Of course big brother!" Renkotsu said. I fell asleep in Bakotsu's lap.

"Emily, wake up!" I heard Jakotsu. I opened my eyes as I sat up. Dinner was ready and I started to eat.

"How was getting the fish?" I asked.

"It wasn't that hard. I used my claws to grab them." Suikotsu said.

"I think I might have to get myself a pair!" I smiled at him.

"Maybe for when you defeat Yoshi, if you ever do that." Renkotsu said.

"Excuse me? Do you want to live dependent on jewel shards?" I threatened.

"Renkotsu, maybe you should just leave Emily alone." Jakotsu suggested as he glared at him. I gave Jakotsu a smile as he had my back again.

"You are one of the best friends ever." I whispered to him. He smiled at me.

"Thanks Emily!" He smiled. I looked up at the sky as the stars started to slowly come out. I don't know why but they looked so much more prettier tonight than before.

"Looking at the stars is just so relaxing." I sighed as rested my head on Bankotsu's shoulders.

"You have loved looking at the stars for a long time." Bankotsu stated.

"Yeah..." I sighed. I froze for a minute as I thought. I've loved looking at the stars for years and always thought about past memories of looking up at them.

"I have the answer." I said quietly before smiling. "I know how to defeat Yoshi!" I exclaimed excitedly before I fainted.

"You sure this is going to work?" Jakotsu asked.

"I am most positive." I looked at him confident that I could do this. There was no going back now. This was the end to a long reign of terror and I was the one who would finally defeat it.

When we arrived to the demon slayer camp I clutched Starfire as I grabbed the string and stakes. I would make the outside seem like an arena but I would conceal the string that I would set into a star. If Yoshi knew what I was doing then he wouldn't set foot.

"You have to recite the spell that you saw in your vision." Starfire said to me.

"Of course." I smiled as I recited it. All that was left to do was get Yoshi in the middle and me killing him.

It wasn't long when he arrived. He looked confident that he would finally kill me.

"I hope this time you put up a fight." He looked to me.

"I will but I wish to do it in an arena." I gestured to the one I made, "There are no tricks and if you kill me, I will give you Starfire." I held out my hand for him to shake.

"Then why are we standing around?" He asked as he got in the middle. I smiled before taking a deep breath in.

I got out my bow and arrow and aimed it ready for him to strike. Once I entered the ring he started to slash his sword at me. I dodged it several times before shooting my arrow into his foot.

"Hah! You think that's going to help stop me?" He laughed before bending down to take it out but it wouldn't come out. I smiled before shooting an arrow into his other foot.

"What did you do?" He asked me angrily as he tried to take out the other arrow. He tried to charge at me but almost fell over. "What is this?" He seethed.

"Putting up a fight." I said before sending an arrow into his left hand and then his right. My last two arrows were for his head and his heart. I took the second to last arrow and put it in his head.

"You really think that this is going to get rid of me? Michiko tried the same thing but she died by my hand. It's going to end the same way." He said to me.

"I really do because she didn't know the last part." I narrowed my eyes as I brought the arrow tip to Starfire.

"I bless this arrow, to help me defeat the sworn evil that it goes into. May the evil receive eternal damnation as the evil will never resurface again." I prayed. The arrow tip was covered in a green flame.

"Say goodbye Yoshi." I said confidently before aiming the arrow at his heart. As the arrow connected with his flesh he let out a shrill scream before turning to ash. The wind blew the ashes in separate directions. I stood there as I couldn't believe that this was all over. I was overjoyed that Yoshi was finally dead. I turned to the others to see them all smiling (except Rankotsu).

"I did it!" I exclaimed as I ran into Bankotsu's arms.

"You did it like we believed you could!" Bankotsu squeezed me before I pulled away a little to kiss him.

"Let's go celebrate!" I smiled as Bankotsu carried me to Ginkotsu.

All of us were eating around a campfire with sake and various foods we bought from a nearby village.

"Now that Yoshi is dead what are you going to do now Emily?" Suikotsu asked. I looked at him and thought for a moment.

"Travel with you guys and defeat Naraku. This isn't the end that's for sure." I smiled.

"There is something that you must know about." Starfire spoke. I looked down at my necklace.

"Like what?" I asked her.

"You need to guide two Iroquois Goddesses. They have yet to be ready to travel here but you must guide them. Their path is long and for you to defeat Naraku they need to learn their powers and defeat the evil that their ancestor tried to long ago. You were just the start of making the world safe but if they do no defeat the evil it will cross over to modern Japan and destroy the world. You must go to Alyx first and then to Skylar. I will let you know when they arrive. Until now enjoy yourself." Starfire explained.

So my purpose was not over yet. "I guess we have more traveling soon. I have some Iroquois Goddesses to guide." I smiled to the group before continue the celebration.

A/N: So this is the end. Well to this story at least! Sorry this to forever to complete but it's now down. I already started book two, The Iroquois Goddesses. Emily is going to have some appearances and might have a chapter or two to herself. ^.^ Thank you everyone for reading this and it's kind of bittersweet as I loved writing this. Though I rarely updated. It's what I get for taking up so many fanfictions. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the ending and Thank you once again!
