~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AN: It's been a hell of a long time, and instead of lying to you and telling you that I got some horrible illness of that I fell down the steps at a anime convention and broke my back I'm going to tell you the truth…-_-' I'm a slacker. I don't know that I would have updated THIS soon if it hadn't been for an email for Lady Of The Squirrels so if anyone reviews then they should thank her for being the reason this is here!!! Also that's why I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS CHAPTER TO LADY OF THE SQUIRRELS!!!!!!! Oh and one last thing…this is the second to last chapter…not the last *innocent smile* *runs screaming at the evil looks directed her way*

(…) Authors notes DURING the story
Other then that I think you guys can figure the rest out by yourself!

***Last Chapter*** (I think) (If you haven't read this in a while then you might want to browse through last chapter to jog your memory)
Holy crap thought Kagome, how am I going to get myself out of this one? Turning her head to the right she saw Naraku walking towards her with the vial in his hand.

***In The Woods With Jesse***
"THE WOODS ARE FINALLY COMING TO AN END!!!" shouted Shippo as they walked threw the steadily thinning trees.
Jesse nodded but came to a sudden stopped, "I smell blood." He whispered
Jesse ran as fast as he could to a nearby clearing, the rest following close behind him. Upon reaching the clearing they were met by the sigh of a giant battle. The only confusing thing was that the battle seemed to be between thousands of youkai and oni -sent by Naraku - against two high level demons.
The two demons were sitting and leaning against a tree with a dark blue barrier surrounding them. The demon leaning against the tree had a very bored expression on her face, she was a dog demon with a long black hair purple eyes and claws. She was wearing a dark purple traditional kimono with slits up the sides that had a black dragon winding around it. Strapped to her back were two swords.
The demon sitting against the tree was an arctic fox demon and appeared to be the one holding up the barrier. Her hair – such a light color of blue hair that it almost appeared white – was up in a chun – with the acceptation of two pieces that framed her face – tied with two dark blue hair ribbons that matched the color of her claws. Her eyes were a deep bronze color, and she was wearing a sleeveless hori the color of her hair with blue Hikamas and around her neck was a giant bell.
"Who are they?" Shippo asked. Jesse was about to give him a bewildered shrug but stopped when heard Sesshoumaru whisper a single word, "Kitako".

***Back With Kagome, Naraku's Castle***
Closing her eyes Kagome tried to concentrate on her inner power, but was once again unable to reach enough of it to harm Naraku, or undo her magically sealed – and sealing- chains.
Goodbye Jesse, I love you and I always will she thought as she mustered what she could of her power in order to kill herself so that Naraku wouldn't be able to control her and her powers for centuries to come.

***Back With Jesse***
"Goodbye Jesse, I love you and I always will" Jesse heard Kagome's words as clear as if she had been standing next to him. "Kagome" he whispered as he slowly dropped to his knees a single tear falling down his cheek.
"KAGOME!" he roared leaping to his feet he drew his sword while unknowingly letting loose the restraints that had been put on his powers. While rushing into the battle Jesse's sword started glowing a midnight black with volts of dark blue spinning around it.
Reaching the very center of the fray he pulled himself into a fighting stance and let lose a giant wave of power from his sword.

***With The Two Demons Standing By The Tree***
"Better prepare your shield for a large amount of energy Nuna" Whispered the dog demon Kitako while still leaning against the tree. Nuna –the arctic fox demon- nodded vaguely, trying to concentrate all her power into her shield.
"Prepare yourself" Kitako whispered as a large amount of blinding black light flew their way. Steadying herself Nuna closed her eyes and held on for all she was worth as the large amount of energy hit them.
Nuna opened her eyes as the energy retreated back to its master. Looking around she was met with the sight for a lone demon standing by himself in the middle of where there had just been thousands of attacking demons.
Smiling Nuna started to stand up but stopped when someone pulled her up and into his arms.
"You are very strong, my names Kouga how would you like to be my woman?" asked a handsome wolf demon. Nuna blinked before whipping the giant bell of her neck and beating him senseless with it.
Huffing and puffing she stopped when someone tapped her one the shoulder, Turning around she was met with the sight of a very angry looking red headed girl (Ginny) "may I borrow that?" she asked in a very angry voice.
Not a little scared Nuna handed the bell over to the fuming girl. "YOU SICKO!!!" Ginny screamed as she snatched the bell out of Nuna's hand and started to pound poor Kouga senseless, "DO YOU ASK EVERY GIRL YOU MEET TO BE YOUR WOMAN!!! DO YOU GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO TRY TO BREAK PEOPLES HEARTS!!!!"
Kouga jumped out of the hole after hearing her last accusation. Pulling Ginny into his arms he gave her a wolfish grin, "Don't worry, you will always be the only woman for me."
Ginny just turned her head and grumbled, though the rest of the group noticed that she didn't bother to pull herself out of his arms."
"This is a very odd group of people that you are traveling with Sesshoumaru" said Kitako as she strolled over to Sesshoumaru's side.
"It's been a long time Kitako," said Sesshoumaru, "I thought you had died."
Kitako looked up at Sesshoumaru and smiled "before now I had been wishing I had."

***With Jesse***
Jesse breathed heavily as the light faded away, Seeing that the enemy had been vanquished he rushed on towards Kagome, "Please Kagome" he whispered, "be all right."
