A/N: Hey people this is the chapter I messed up with and put where chapter 4 was supposed to go . . . but anyway here's the REAL chapter 7. Read, enjoy (hopefully), and review . . . please!

~*~

Three weeks passed and the group of Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Sesshomaru, and Rin found a few jewel shards but no Naraku.

"Come on, this way . . ."Inuyasha called to the others as they walked through the forest trying to find a path.

"Inuyasha, are there any villages nearby?" Kagome asked tiredly. Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but I do smell people," he informed her.

Suddenly, Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and his ears twitched. He heard some far off screams. He turned to Shippo and Sesshomaru, who had also stopped. "Did you hear that, too?" Inuyasha asked. They both nodded. "Kagome climb on . . ." he told her. Kagome did as told and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru ran towards the noise. Kirara transformed and the others, including Miroku, Rin, Sango, and Shippo climbed on then she followed the two demons.

"Inuyasha? Where are we going?" Kagome asked. "We have company; get your bow ready." Inuyasha told her. Kagome asked, "Who is it?" Inuyasha sniffed the air. "Naraku . . ." he informed. Kagome nodded and immediately pulled out her bow and an arrow, which were rested on her back.

They reached where the screams were coming from in five minutes. Everyone, but Kagome, who stayed by Inuyasha, and Rin, who was sitting on the transformed Kirara, got in position and were ready to fight. He was there . . . the bamboo pelt. There was no telling if it was one of his puppets or if it was the real Naraku.

The person in the bamboo pelt turned to them. "Kagome, any shards?" Inuyasha asked urgently. Kagome paused to look and nodded. "One in each shoulder and a whole shit load in his pocket." Kagome told him and launched three arrows, one at each shoulder and one at his pocket.

Tow hit their target but the one aimed for is pocket missed. Kagome silently thanked God that two out of three arrows hit but cursed herself for missing the major point. She gave Inuyasha a good luck kiss and jumped off his back to get in her position by Kirara.

Naraku didn't even flinch when the arrows made contact. He tried to lift his hand to pull an arrow out and was shocked when he couldn't move them. 'Damn priestess . . .' he thought top himself. That bitch immobilized him. He was angry.

He didn't realize it at the time but his bamboo pelt had fallen off from the impact of the arrows.

Inuyasha growled softly at Naraku, but he was somehow happy that he was able to see Naraku and defeat Naraku. And even though he wouldn't admit it, he was glad his brother was here to help.

Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetsusagia and Sesshomaru flexed his claws, ready for an attack. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both glanced at each other and nodded slightly. They both leapt forward to attack.

Unfortunately, Naraku evaded their attacks but Sango then threw her boomerang.

Miroku fumbled with the prayer beads around his right hand and Shippo was hiding himself from view behind Miroku's leg. Kagome and Rin watched in awe from the background.

As Naraku jumped back to get away from the two demon's attacks, Sango's Hiraikotsu hit him in the left shoulder. He was blown backwards and the arrow was knocked from his hit shoulder so he could move it. He took that to his advantage and reached into his pocket and pulled out the huge chunk of the jewel that he had collected then laughed silently. 'If I win this, I'll have the rest of the jewel and no one will b able to stop me . . .' he popped the jewel into the gash at his shoulder to let it settle, he hoped that it would make it's way to his heart so it'll stay there.

Naraku's aura began to build around him.

Naraku's insects arrived; they were drawn to the power on the jewel. Miroku grimaced. "Shit . . . there goes my chance of an attack," he groaned. Inuyasha turned to the insects and swiped his sword at them and yelled, "Wind Scar!" It knocked a quarter of them from the sky and they disintegrated. He attacked over and over again until there were no more insects in the sky. All the while Sesshomaru was covering him by numerously attacking Naraku with no success.

Inuyasha finished off the insects and turned to Miroku. The monk thanked Inuyasha and he merely nodded then attacked Naraku at full force.

Naraku, who was busy blocking Sesshomaru's attacks, didn't see Inuyasha coming. Inuyasha swiped him with the Tetsusagia and gave him a deep gash in his right side. He pulled away from blocking Sesshomaru the grab his side and Sesshomaru swiped him across the face making him bleed. Naraku fell to his knees; even the Shikon jewel could not help the pain of defeat he was feeling. The scratch on his face healed almost immediately but the gash on his side would take a while.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru leapt out of the way and Shippo launched his Illusory Top. The top brought him down face first in the dirt.

The top finished its job and launched itself back at Shippo.

Now it was finally Miroku's turn. "NARAKU!! NOW YOU SHALL FALL UPON YOUR OWN CURSE!!" he yelled.
