Kagome reappeared in a large courtyard to a palace. She walked calmly through the entrance and stopped in front of a man with black hair. "Naraku." she said her voice like ice.

"Hello human, where is the han-you?" Naraku asked sitting calmly on a throne eating food.

"Master would you like for us to dispose of this girl for you?" A guard asked humbly.

"I'll hear the girl out." He looked at Kagome who had leaned against a pillar.

"I want the jewel." She said looking at him calmly.

"You expect to steal my shards alone?" Naraku asked stone-faced.

"No, I expect to have my shards returned." she said standing straight again. Walking to Naraku she passed her right hand across her. A small flicker of light emitted and the shield around Naraku disappeared out of sight.

'How did that human do that?' He thought as Kagome continued walking up to him slowly.

"Give me the shards." She said in a low and merciless voice.

Naraku reached his hand out to her and miasma started to drip from it. "If you can survive the poison little girl." Kagome took another step.

"That won't work anymore Naraku." stretching out her hand it glowed silver and Naraku's hand started to melt away."

'Bitch!' He thought pulling his hand to his chest. "Do you think that's all I can do?" He formed a tenticle and it shot at Kagome.

Disappearing out of sight she appeared behind Naraku. "Yes but that wasn't all I can do." Forming a ball of glowing silver light she nudged it into Naraku's back and disappeared out of sight again.

"Stupid girl!" Naraku cursed. "That had no effe." Naraku's body began to glow silver and parts of him started to melt away.

Kagome reappeared in front of him looking smug. She placed her hand on his chest and her smile widened. "Thanks." she said waving good bye to him as he disappeared into dust.

Leaving a fearful guard in the thrown room Kagome made her way to the basement. She arrived at the door watched over by two guards. "Sorry miss you can't go down there." One said standing there calm.

"Who says so?" she asked crossing her arms.

"By order of the prince." The second guard said.

"I think you should go check on your 'prince'" Kagome mocked waving her hand in front of there faces. The guards eyes glazed over and they slumped to the ground asleep.

Kicking the heavy wooden door open Kagome came face to face with a happy Kagura. "Oh gods!!" she shrieked. Kanna was in the corner like her usual self, gazing off into nowhere.

Kagura noticed Kagome and raised her fan to her face. "You!" she yelled eying Kagome "Why are you here!"

"I want the shards!" Kagome said glancing at her watch. She had left Inu-Yasha up in his tree at a quarter to one and she had finally found the palace at 5 and it was already eight in the morning. "Time's wasting!"

"Y-You were the one that killed Naraku!?" Kagura said unsure.

"Yes."

"Just you?"

"Yes." Kagome began patting her foot on the ground, 'Dammit where the hell are the shards.'

Kagura flung herself at Kagome "Thank you!" she shrieked squeezing the young girl.

"Your welcome.I guess." Kagome said with a lopsided smile. "Why are you happy?"

"That bastard Naraku's finally dead!" Kagura cried.

"Okay." Kagome said pretending to understand "Do you know where the shards are?"

Kagura nodded and ran to go get them. "Here you go!" she handed Kagome a heavy dark red sack. Digging into it she pulled out a nearly completed four souls jewel. 'So that's why I couldn't sense it.' She thought looking at the sack 'This sack has a enchantment placed on it.'

"Thank you Kagura." Kagome said as she disappeared out of the room.

"Where's Inu-Yasha?" Sango asked Miroku.

"Playing with the barrier Kagome made." Miroku said as a whoosh was sounded above them. "There he goes."

Sango shook her head and went back to the hut. "Stupid han-you."

Inu-Yasha laid upside down against a tree. "I'm going to kill you Kagome!" he muttered.

****

"Kouga." one of wolf men said as they sat by a waterfall around midday. Kouga nodded towards the man. "One of our messengers has informed us that Naraku has been killed."

"What!" Kouga asked looking at the man fully.

"Yes. Around seven this morning one of our men heard that a young girl had killed him." The wolf man said.

"So she has his shards."

"Yes." The man said as his eyes glazed over and he slumped down asleep.

"Hey! Wake up!" Kouga yelled shaking him. He looked around as more of his people soon fell into a deep unnatural sleep. "Who are you!" he yelled as Kagome appeared in front of him. "K-Kagome!" he yelled as she looked at him.

"Kagome why are you here!"

"Kouga I-" she tried getting cut off.

"I've missed you so much!" Kouga said grabbing her shoulders. Kagome opened her mouth to speak. "So you finally left dog-turd and came to me!"

"No!" she yelled before he could finish, "I've come here to get your shards."

Kouga looked at her, "Why so you can give them to that half-breed?" Kouga looked at her as she nodded.

"I've promised him it since the beginning." She said as he let go of her shoulders.

"You like him don't you," he asked in a small voice as he looked at the ground

"I love him, I always have." She said moving her hand to raise his head. "I'm sorry. I tried to tell you so many times before but I really need your shards."

"So you can give them to that fucking two-timing han-you!" Kouga yelled grabbing her shoulders once again.

Kagome looked down at the ground. "Yes." Kouga pulled her close to him and embraced her.

"I'll never forget about you Kagome." He said smelling her hair.

"No Kouga." She said pushing him. "I don't want to lead you on. I just want to go back to the village."

Kouga nodded. "I'll give you one shard for a kiss."

"A k-k-kiss?" she repeated blushing. Before she could say anything Kouga had pulled her close with one arm and kissed her. With his other arm he pulled the first shard out of his leggings.

"Take it." he said braking free from her. He placed the fragment in her hands and kissed them. Grabbing the other fragment out he placed it in her other hand. "I want you to make me a promise."

"What is it." she asked placing the fragments in the sack.

"I want to make you a member of our pack" she opened her mouth to interrupt "Not like mates I want you to always know you got family and also that we can always count on you if things go wrong." He dug out something from his pocket. It was a beautiful stone that glowed different shades of blue. "Will you accept?"

"I'll join your pack." she said smiling. He slipped the necklace around her neck and smiled a sad smile.

"Good bye Kagome." he said as she took a step back. "And good job killing Naraku."

"Bye Kouga. And thank you for all you've done." waving she disappeared.

Kouga looked down at the ground. "I-I'll never forget you Kagome."

"My god you're depressed over a human!" A familiar female voice said behind him.

Turing around to look at a very smug Kagura he yelled "You! Why the hell are you here!"

"I came to apologize" she said sitting down on a rock.

"What the hell for! For killing half my pack you bitch!" He yelled scowling at her.

"Naraku had made me! I just want to say sorry." she looked down.

Kouga just stared at her. She was being weak, why did she want to apologize to a youkai! Apologizing and feeling sorry for other youkai shows how weak they are.

'She looks so beautiful!' Kouga thought. He had never thought about it and had always hated Kagura for killing his pack but she was being controlled. 'I want her as my mate!'

Kagura looked up at him, "Why the hell are you staring at me!" she barked raising her fan defensivly.

Before she could do anything Kouga had ran forward and kissed her. It was new to her but instinct soon took over. As he broke from the kiss and left a breathless Kagura he whispered, "You're my women." into her ears and embraced her.

Kagura nodded and smiled a smile that would be only Kouga's.

****

Kagome blows up another demon and catches a shining shard. "That's the last one!" she says happily. "I hope Inu-Yasha isn't pissed off."

Disappearing she went back into the village just to see a blur of silver and red pass over head. Nodding she reached out her hand and disappeared.

Inu-Yasha curses with his eyes closed on grass. "I've hit that fucking tree so many times I don't feel it any more. Dammit Kagome where the hell did you go!" Inu-Yasha opens his eyes when he feels something soft and warm on his chest.

Kagome is curled up on top of him with her eyes closed. "Don't move!" she warns as he placed a arm on her back.

"Why did you leave again?"

"I had to go get you a present." She said adding a yawn at the end.

"What is it?" He asked curiously as she sifted off of him to rest against his chest.

"I have something I need to tell you first." she said closing her eyes. "Inu-Yasha you know that we've known each other for how long has it been a year?"

"Yeah I think so." he replied nervous.

"And I know that you care for me." She sighed. "You are always protecting me."

"Yeah. The way your going you'd die on your own before we even get two shards!" He barked as she sat up to look at him.

"Not anymore. Inu-Yasha I know I can never beat Kikyou..." She stopped and looked down on the ground.

"Kagome." He stared as she stood.

"Just take it!" she yelled throwing the sack to him. Catching it perfectly Inu-Yasha looked down at it.

'What is it?' He thought opening it and dumping the continets onto his lap. The jewel shone like gold completed in his lap. "The jewel it's completed!" He whispered holding it.
