"MOTHER!" Kagosha had been in the middle of a conversation with Sango and Inu-Yasha, when she went completely cold. "Something's wrong with Mom! I know it!"

Sango and Inu-Yasha exchanged a glance with each other. "Miroku!" Sango cried.

Miroku hustled over, "What?"

"Kagome." she replied shortly.

"Kagosha and Delad, stay here with the children." Inu-Yasha commanded before flying off with Sango and Miroku in tow.

"Your not going to listen to him. Are you?" Delad turned to her.

"Are you? Didn't think so. Think I can fly also?"

"Probably. Just jump." And so she did, and hovered a bit above the ground. "Good."

"Garrie, Keta-Lara, Asha, we're taking a little trip, ok."

Within moments Keta Lara was in Delad's arms, Garrie was in Kagosha's, and Asha was flying beside them.

"There!" Kagosha spotted her father.

"That's my father. Sesshoumaru." Delad warned. "Lets land a out of sight, behind that tree. You and the kids can try to get to your mom, and I'm going to deal with my father. Once and for all.

Sesshoumaru grinned at Inu-Yasha. As the half-breed landed he pushed Kagome to the side. First he would deal with his bastard brother, and then he would get the jewel.

Kagosha rushed to her mother, who had tumbled close to the tree. Near the tree also lay Shippo, bound with his back to them. Kagosha ignored him. "Mom! Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Kagome lay uncomfortably on her side, her hands and feet hand bound and tied with Demons Rope. "You won't be able to untie that. Take the pouch at my neck. Take out the jewel in it and flee Kagosha, as far as you can, and take the children with you." Kagome commanded.

"But."

"GO!"

Kagosha grabbed the Jewel and took the children, Asha had crawled over to their mother and refused to go, so kagosha grabbed him also and with the three littles flew above the battle.

Meanwhile Inu-Yasha and his brother were going at each other in a manner of claws and weapons that hot even Sango or Miroku would interfere in. Delad however launched himself into the fray with the accuracy only a demon could count on. He hit his father and tumbled them both onto the grass, there he raised his claws for a Killing blow, only to find Sesshoumaru had already landed one.

Sesshoumaru growled at his son, and without a second thought clawed his son's stomach out. "Stupid pup." He muttered and threw him to the side.

Kagosha hovered just long enough to see the young demon lord thrown to the side. "NO!" she screamed and launched down at him tumbling her, and the little ones at his side. Keta-Lara looked at her 'big brother' with large eyes. Kagosha knelt down beside her, she put the jewel off to the side and gathered up the little catling.

"Look!" Asha pointed to the Shikon jewel, which had began to glow.

Garrie reached out to touch the jewel, and when she did, it began to shine brighter. Kagosha picked it up again, and the others reached out to touch it also. It shined like the sun and from it a ray of light hit Delad.

Delad's eyes blinked open. "Good bye Keta." he gasped for air. The young demoness, though mesmerized by the shining jewel cried and launched herself at Delad.

Kagosha jerked to the side, and took the jewel with her. It bounced from her hand and landed on Delad. Slowly she reached out again to touch it, as did Garrie and Asha, even Keta, crying as she was, couldn't resist it. And in the moment that all five were touching it, a ray of triumphant light rose from them then burst out expanding over the whole clearing. It engulfed everything around them, dissolving the bonds that held Kagome and Shippo, healing Delad's wound, and separating Inu-Yasha from Sesshoumaru.

When the light subsided Sesshoumaru was already gone. Delad sat up and looked at the Shikon Jewel that had saved his life. Kagosha, Asha, Keta- Lara, and Garrie still held onto it, and he reached out and placed his hand on it as well. In each of their minds they heard a small click and the jewel split into five equal pieces. Each looked at the shard they held in their hands.

Inu-Yasha walked over to help his wife up. "It's theirs now." She said softly as Shippo, Miroku, and Sango walked over. "They are the Jewels Chosen."

"After all the trouble we went through to put the thing back together." Miroku shook his head sadly. "And now our children have gone and broken it."

"Can't you be serious for a second?" Sango knocked him over the head.

"Nope." He smiled.

"Will you be living here now?" Shippo quietly asked Kagome.

"No reason not to." She replied. 'Like I could keep them away if I wanted to? And now they are guardians of the Shikon Jewel, I'm not sure it would be possible."

Shippo smiled and watched Kagosha. Good. He had 'plans' for that girl.
