***Higurashi Shrine***

"THANK GOD!" I shouted. We had finally arrived at the well, And it's about damn time I thought.

*******Flash Back*******

(you didn't really think that I wouldn't tell you what happened on the trip did you! Of course not! *watches the readers dart there eyes back and forth* *mutters*)

Hermione, Ginny, and I walked out the front doors of Hogwarts. Looking around we found the guys waiting for us.

"It's about time" Inuyasha muttered. "Inuyashaaaaaa" I growled, Inuyasha eyes became the size of saucers as we realized what was coming. "NO! KAGOME WAI-"

"SIT!!!!" *thud*. Jesse looked into the crater the Inuyasha had just formed and chuckled. He then turned to look at me, "shall we go?" he asked. I nodded then turned towards the rest of the group "ready to go" I asked.

Everyone else nodded. "Then le-" "WAIT FOR ME!!!" everyone turned around to see Draco come running down the stairs. Jesse groaned "not another member of the Kagome fan club" he grumbled.

Glaring I stuck a hand out at Jesse, "Jesse" I said in my sweetest voice. Jesse gulped "yyyes?" "DOWN!" dark blue light shot out of my hand and slammed Jesse into the crater the Inuyasha was still lying in.

"MY BACK!!!!!!" someone from inside the hole screamed. Cackling evilly I walked away from the crater and pulled out my broom.

******Another Flash Back This One Further Into The Trip******

"KKKKKaagggooooooooooommmmeeeeee" Draco whined "I'm hungry and my butt hurts from sitting on this broom, I wanna stoooooooop."

I rolled my eyes, "Well Draco if need to get off the broom then you can ride on Inuyasha's back for awhile". Both Inuyasha's and Draco's eyes widened, "HELL NO!" shouted Inuyasha running further ahead.

Sighing I slumped over my broom again. Maybe it was all the bickering going on between the guys, or maybe it was the fact that I didn't get much sleep last night, but whatever the cause I fell asleep on my broom.

When I woke up I was cuddled into something warm and hard (….I wonder who it is *rolls her eyes*). Feeling content I started to go back to sleep, then it registered in my mind Warm? HARD! I was sleeping against someone!.

Before I could jerk up and lose my balance and fall off the broom, the warm object leaned down "it's all right Kagome" he said. "I moved you onto my broom after you fell asleep on yours. Now go ahead back to sleep, you tired and you need to save up your energy."

Yawning I nodded, Leaning back against his chest I started to drift off to sleep again, "Thanks Jesse" I whispered as sleep took me.

*******End Flash Backs*******

Smiling at the last thought I went inside to take a bath and change out of my Hogwarts robes.

After my bath I dried off and changed into the fighting outfit that Souta and Grandpa had given me for Christmas. Slinging my old backpack over my shoulder I walked into the living room. "Are you guys ready to go?"

**************************************************************

Standing on the edge of the well I looked back and waved goodbye to my family. Turning back around I took the hands of Jesse and Inuyasha who were standing on either side of me.

I started to count "1, 2, 3!" on three everyone jumped into the well (I know I know in the show the well isnt big enough for all of them to jump in at the same time….but in my warped world it is!).

Climbing out of the well the first thing I saw was an oblivious Sango and Miroku making out. I snickered, "I'm so glade the you missed me" I called out.

Both Sango and Miroku jumped about five feet. "KAGOME!" Sango shouted as she ran to hug me, "I missed you so much!" I grinned at her evilly "could have fooled me" I cackled.

Sango pulled out her boomerang and hit me over the head with it. Lying on the ground I looked up at her with swirly eyes. "What was that for!" I asked, Sango smiled sweetly "well someone has to take Miroku's place…"

Miroku suddenly popped up next to Sango, "I heard my name!" "HENTAI!!!" Sango screeched before thumping him over the head with her boomerang.

I heard someone laughing really hard and turned to see Inuyasha rolling on the ground laughing. "SIT!!!" Inuyasha ended up lying next to me and Miroku swirly eyed.

****************************************************************

After everyone that was knocked over the head with the Sangos boomerang recovered, and everyone else got out of the well we headed to the campsite that Sang and Miroku had set up.

Upon arriving I was shocked to see Kouga, Sesshoumaru, and Jaken sitting idly around the fire. Kouga looked up and got giant sparkels in his eyes as he saw me, "Kagome my woman! You've come back to me!!!"

Everyone in camp sweat dropped, Jesse then turned on me "you never told me you had a mate" he said narrowing his eyes.

"I DON'T!" I shouted, I then turned on Kouga "look Kouga I'm sorry but we've been over this, I'm NOT your mate and I never will be!"

Kouga blinked then shrugged and went back to the fire. Shaking my head I looked at Sesshoumaru "so what are the two of you doing here?" I asked.

Sesshoumaru turned is cool stare towards me, "we are here to help you defeat Naraku in a final battle."

(That would be a good place to stop the chapter don't you think??? *watches all the readers start to punch their fists* *gulps* …..maybe not)

*****************************************************************

Everything eventually settled down, the peace only being broken by the occasional argument between Inuyasha and Jesse and the joyful reunion between Shippo and Kagome.

It got late and everyone eventually headed off for bed. Inuyasha slept in a tree (dur). Shippo slept up against Kirara for warmth. Sango and Miroku were curled up next to each other not far from Kirara and Shippo.

Hermione was asleep against the tree that Inuyasha was sitting in. Both Kouga and Ginny had decided to sleep next to the fire to keep warm (yes their on opposite sides of the fire). Sesshoumaru was up in another tree (yeah their related alright…also stay with me here where their sleeping DOES matter as you'll soon find out….Buwahahaha).

Harry and Ron were asleep against the same tree with Jaken sleeping across from them to make sure they didn't get to near his beloved master. And last but CERTAINLY not least Jesse had simply found a soft piece of ground and fallen asleep with Kagome next to him using his shoulder as a pillow. (GOD THAT TOOK FOREVER!!!!)

******************************************************************

Naraku floated over the sleeping group "Kukuku sleeping like little babys…but they wont be for long" and with another evil laugh he took off.

******************************************************************

Kagome suddenly woke up, sitting up she looked around frantically. Sensing that Kagome was afraid Jesse also woke up.

Jesse looked at Kagome "what is it?" he asked as he slowly sat up. Kagome shook her head "I don't know but something's wrong, very wrong." Jesse narrowed his eye and furrowed his brow in thought.

He soon lost his concentration as they were attacked by a swarm of youki thick enough that they were soon separated. "KAGOME!" Jesse shouted, "GRAP MY HAND!" Kagome lunged towards Jesse voice and managed to grab onto his out reached hand.

Jesse pulled Kagome up next to him "something's wrong" he said, "I cant use my magic, at all." Kagome nodded her head grimly, she then pulled out her sword. "I don't know about you Jesse but I refuse to die here!" she then started to attack the youki directly infront of her.

Seeing this Jesse but his back to Kagome and pulled out his sword as well. "I TOO REFUSE TO DIE HERE!!!!!!"

**********************************************************************

Naraku watched the group below him struggle to fight off the attacking youki. "What a shame, they all woke up in time to stop their instant deaths and on top of that none of the have died yet!" "Kukuku but that will soon change!"

Sticking out his hand Naraku divided the sphere below into sections, he then flung his arm off to the side, and as if following the motions of his arm the sections of sphere separated into separate sections and went flying off in different directions.

***********************************************************************

(READ THIS: Just to make it easier to read the following is how many groups they got split up into and who's in each group…see I told you that were they were sleeping mattered. Group 1, Sango, Miroku, Ron, Shippo, Kirara. Group 2, Jesse, Kagome (big surprise). Group 3, Inuyasha Hermione (O.O). Group 4, Kouga, Ginny. And last but not least Group 5, Sesshoumaru, Jaken, Draco, Harry. THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!)

***********************************************************************

***With Group 1***

"Any idea were we are?" asked Sango. Miroku shook his head "no clue, but I do know that we should try to find the others. Kirara?" Kirara transformed, "ok then" said Sango "lets go!…HURRY UP SHIPPO!"

Ron looked at them like they were all crazy. "How do you plan on going anywhere?" he asked. Sango rolled her eyes "on Kirara of course." Ron's eyes got big "YOU MEAN I HAVE TO RIDE THAT THING!!!"

***********************************************************************

***With Group 2***

With a loud thump Jesse and Kagome hit the ground. Jesse crawled over to Kagome to exhausted to stand upon reaching her he pulled her into his arms. "Are you all right? I was worried about you" he whispered in a hoarse voice.

Kagome rested her head on Jesse's shoulder "I'm fine, just worn out." Jesse nodded pulling out of the embrace, "we should get some sleep then try to find the others in morning." Yawning Kagome crawled over to a tree and fell asleep against it. Jesse chuckled then went to fall asleep next to her.

************************************************************************

***With Group 3***

Inuyasha sat glaring at Hermione. Hermione rolled her eyes "your acting so childish" she stated. "I'm going to go find some firewood, try to be a good boy while I'm gone."

Inuyasha growled and jumped infront of Hermione, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!" he snapped. Hermione glared right back at him, "I don't have a problem" she snapped "YOU'RE the one with the problem!" she shoved past him.

"Now if your majesty would accuse me I need to gather material to build a fire for my poor little human self!" She then stomped away.

What is his problem! she screamed in her mind I have done NOTHING to upset him and his cute little doggy ears….CUTE!!! were did that come from!!!!. Mentally slapping herself Hermione reached down to pick up another piece of wood, but a clawed hand beat her to it.

Straightening up she came face to face with Inuyasha. Obviously reading the shock on her face Inuyasha smiled, "Hanyous like to keep warm to ya know." (O.O wow waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay OOC…YAY!!!)

*********************************************************************

***With Group Four***

Kouga worriedly tied a piece of cloth around a gash on the pretty little red heads arm, if he remembered correctly her name was Ginny. He smiled she had shown a lot of courage fighting those youki, for though she couldn't use her magic and she didn't have a weapon she managed to hold her own.

She was strong for a human and she definitely wasn't that hard to look at. Nodding his head he decided that since Kagome had refused him Ginny would do fine for a mate. Ginny slowly started to come to.

Looking up she saw Kouga, memories of fighting the youki came rushing back. Ginny tried to sit up but was pushed back down by Kouga. "Do not worry my mate" said Kouga, "rest for now, we will start looking for the others in the morning."

Ginny nodded and started to lie back down before jumping to her feet. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!"

**********************************************************************

***With Group Five***

"SEEESSSSSHHHHHHOUMMARRRUUUUUUUU CAN WE STOP NOOOOOOOW…………." Draco whined.

Sesshoumaru pinned Draco with a cold stare, "not until we find the others" was his cool remark. "BUT THAT COULD TAKE YEEEEEEEAARS!!!" Draco whined again.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes "Well then I suggest you learn to cope."

Jaken spat at Harry and Dracos feet, "filthy humans not only do you have to complain about everything but your also afraid of everything."

Harry stuck out his chest "we are not afrai-" They all came to a stop as a bush up ahead to rustle. Sesshoumaru moved into a battle stance but relaxed when a rabbit hopped out of the bush.

Turning around he was just in time to catch Harry and Draco jump into each others arms "KILLER BUNNY!!!!!!!!!" Sesshoumaru sweat dropped before turning around and start back walking.

**********************************************************************

Around lunch time the next morning all five groups managed to meet up. Ginny ran over to Hermione and Kagome. "Oh I'm so glade we found you guys!!!" she happily shouted, she then lowered her voice "Kouga was starting to freak me out he kept calling me his-".

Ginny was interrupted as Naraku appeared over them. "Hello all" he called I just came to inform you that if you ever wanted to see your precious" he snapped his fingers and Kagome suddenly appeared in his arms unconscious "Kagome again, then it's to bad for you because I'm taking her" and with a last kukuku he disappeared.

"NO!" shouted Jesse "KAGOME!!!!!!"
