The Ending (THERE WILL BE ALTERNATE ENDINGS!!!)

Everyone was literally speechless with shock. Gaara was so stunned that he didn't even feel jealous, but once he snapped out of his shock, he didn't even have the chance to feel that particular emotion as he saw Kagome was slowly purifying Naraku from inside out. Naraku screamed tried to push her away, but she held strong, her powers slowly turning Naraku into sooty black ash.

Of course, all was not to end so peacefully and Naraku glared daggers at her, his legs and arms having already disappeared, so he couldn't attack her. He laughed harshly, causing Kagome grip to loosen on him for a second. He tore away, a head and half of his torso floating in the sky.

He was laughing even harder now, his face tilted towards the darkening stormy sky.

"Did you think it was really going to be that easy, miko?!" He yelled, laughing. "I curse you, foolish little miko, to never be able to return to or dwell in this world that you have grown to love! You will never have the chance to find happiness in this Earthly realm, where you have fallen in love with that cursed demon container, or that foolish fate-believer! Thrown from land-to-land, you will be thrown once again, back to where you truly belonged all along; with the worthless humans you call family, who will never be able to understand you! They will fear you and your powers, and you will be forced to the lands of the dead!" Naraku laughed maniacally.

As he chanted his black curse, a rip appeared in the air and it parted to reveal desolate bone-white sand and an eerily blue sky hanging above what seemed to be an endless desert. There were no life forms in sight, not even a scrawny little plant or insect. Kagome tried to back away from it warily, but it seemed as if her feet were glued to the ground.

As the rip grew wider and wider, so did Kagome's eyes, the dread sinking in. She could die. Or worse, she might be sent to another world yet again. She whipped her head around to face the cackling head of Naraku, her face betraying no emotion. Calmly, she raised her arm and a bow made from pure miko energy flared to life in her hands.

Her other hand was outstretched as if she were trying to draw the bowstring, and an arrow formed, slowly due to her already depleted energy stores. Luckily for Naraku, the few seconds it took to form the arrow was the only seconds he needed and he finished his chant, the rip sucking in Kagome. She was silent as she went through, aiming the bow and arrow at his heart. Before the rip closed up, she released the arrow and watched with grim satisfaction as the last of Naraku was purified, though not without a loud scream on his part.

Kagome couldn't deny that she was scared, but there was nothing she could do now. So she did the one thing she thought she would never do.

She prayed to God that he would save her soul and let her go home.

Kagome woke up, bloody and battered to find that she had been sleeping in the bone-coloured sand, the almost non-existent breeze shifting the sand minutely. She shivered. The entire place reeked of dark energy, blood and death. In fact, death seemed to be integrated in every inch of the area.

Getting to her feet slowly, she noted that all the sand around her had been stained a bright crimson by the blood flowing freely from her wounds. She grimaced when the pain of her wounds finally caught up with her and she nearly dropped to the ground in pure pain.

Gritting her teeth, Kagome managed to raise her head so she could finally look around where she had dropped into. And her jaw dropped.

In front of her was a huge white structure, off-white walls standing tall and proud, though somewhat creepy, in front of her. One question lingered in her mind.

'WHERE THE HELL AM I?!?!?!?!?!?!'

THE END

That's the end of Kagome, Team Seven's Fourth Member and there will be a sequel called Goodbye Konoha, Hello Hueco Mundo. It is an Inuyasha Bleach crossover, and here is the summary:

Inuyasha/Bleach x-over. Just when Kagome thought it was all over, she was sent to another godforsaken dimension and world. Wanted by Soul Society, the Arrancar and Aizen, she escapes from Hueco Mundo and back to Tokyo, where she meets a certain substitute shinigami.
