Chapter 4: The Final Shard

Kagome stood up as they all set off to find the last of the shards. "Feeling any better Kagome?" Shippo asked sitting on her shoulder.

"Yes, I guess a little better."Kagome replied.

"Kagome, do you sense any shards?"Miroku asked seriously.

"Oh, I wasn't thinking about that. Sorry, let me see. I sense one. It is coming up behind us wait there are 20, no 40, no 60! There are 60 shards closing in on us."

Naraku... You are the only one I know that would have that many shards. But you are dead.

Kagura came up behind them and said, "I have come to collect the last of the shards you posess."

"You can't have them."Sango said.

Kagura ran over and quickly picked up Shippo. "Shippo!"Kagome yelled.

"Hand over the shards or the kitsune dies and goes to live with Inuyasha."

"Let me go."Shippo said struggling to break free from Kagura's grasp.

Miroku held his hand over the beads that secured his wind tunnel.

"Don't even try it monk. You will also suck in your little friend."

Kagura, I will defeat you somehow someway.

All of a sudden an arrow shot by piercing Kagura's heart. He was pinned to a tree as Inuyasha once was. Kagome went over to her and got Shippo and the shards. Miroku also walked over and said, "He will not come back." He opened his wind tunnel and sucked her inside.

"YEAH!!!!!"Kagome screamed. "We only need one more shard and I sense it!!!" She was jumping for joy knowing that she could see Inuyasha again.

"There is no time to waste. Lets go!"Sango yelled running in the direction Kagome pointed the shard was at.

When they arrived it was strange to find it sitting on a rock and not a person in sight. Kagome reached out and picked it up. The jewel was completed. "Now is the time I guess."

"Go on... Bring Inuyasha back."Sango said sweetly.

"All right here goes."Kagome said closing her eyes.
