Note: Hi all. Here's chapter 8. Thank you to Dreamer Wolf and Kikyous Revenge for reviewing. And to Kikyous Revenge, I'll try to elaborate a little more but this story is steering itself. In this chapter is a song that my friend, Tauskisgirl23, wrote and is kindly letting me use. Its sung to the tune of Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne. I hope you like this chapter. I'm working on chapter 9. I think that its going to be long. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!! Disclaimer: I don't own the Inu Yasha and company characters. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Enjoy! R&R!

Kaede was back in her garden with Shippo on the fence.

"Is Sango going to be okay, Kaede?" Shippo asked

"Her wounds are healing well. Once we get that shard out of her she should be her normal self again. Kohaku is doing a fine job of taking care of her." Kaede responded.

"I hope Inu Yasha is having luck with finding the Shikon no Tama." Kohaku said as he walked out to the garden and sat on the fence next to Shippo.

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

When Kagome and Miroku got back from school, Kagome ran to the well house to see if there was any sign of Inu Yasha or the Shikon no Tama. Nothing. Kagome knelt next to the well.

"Where are you Inu Yasha? Have you found it yet? Please hurry." Kagome spoke into the well. When she got back to the house she heard music. She walked in and realized that Miroku had found the stereo system. The song that was playing was "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. She started to sing along, but with her own words.

"He was a hanyou She was a miko Can I make it any more obvious He was a youkai She did archery What more can I say

"He wanted her She'd never tell Secretly se wanted him as well. But all of her friends Stuck up their nose They had a problem with his baggy clothes

"He was a hanyou boy She said see you later boy He wasn't good enough for her She had a pretty face But her head was up in space She needed to come back down to earth

"50 years from now She wakes up not at home Feeding the hatred, she's all alone She turns around Guess who she sees Hanyou boy rippin' up evil hordes

"She looks up her sis She already knows She helped Kagome free his soul She tags along And stands all alone And looks up at the man that she turned down

"He was a hanyou boy She said see you later boy He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super hero Slamming on his new sword Does your pretty face see what he's worth

"He was a hanyou boy She said see you later boy He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super hero Slamming on his new sword Does your pretty face see what he's worth

"Sorry Kikyo, but you missed out Well though luck that boy's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how this story ends.

"Too bad that you couldn't see See that man that hanyou could be There is more than meets the eye I see that soul that is inside.

"He's just a hanyou I'm just a miko Can I make it anymore obvious We are in love Haven't you heard How we rock each others' worlds

"I'm with the hanyou boy I didn't say see you later boy I'll be backing you in the fight I'll be there with my arrows And thinking about the song I wrote About a girl he used to know

"I'm with the hanyou boy I didn't say see you later boy I'll be backing you in the fight I'll be there with my arrows And thinking about the song I wrote About a girl he used to know"

When the song ended Miroku applauded. She had forgotten that he was there.

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

"Where is she?" Inu Yasha asked out loud. It had been 3 days since Kagome and Miroku had left. He still hadn't found Kikyo.

"Looking for someone, Inu Yasha?" asked a cold female voice. Inu Yasha spun around.

"Kikyo." Inu Yasha said quietly. He shook his head and silently told himself to focus. "Give me the Shikon no Tama, Kikyo" he demanded.

"But I don't have it." she stated. "It has been taken from me."

"Who took it?" Inu Yasha was starting to lose his temper. Kikyo walked up to him. She held him in her arms. Then kissed him. Inu Yasha tried to resist at first then held her close and fell into her kiss.

'Perfect. He's fallen into my trap. Now he'll be mine forever." she thought. Then she spoke to Inu Yasha, knowing that it wouldn't matter to him now.

"Naraku has the Shikon no Tama."

"Naraku." Inu Yasha muttered. Just then a hole appeared beneath them and they began to sink.

"We shall go to hell together, Inu Yasha. Now that I have you nothing can stop me." Kikyo said. She laughed.

'Naraku has the Shikon no Tama.' Those words kept cycling through Inu Yasha's mind. Then it finally connected. He had broken free of Kikyo's spell. Before she could say or do anything he had wielded Tetsuaiga and slashed it through her. It was difficult for him to do but it was necessary. He mourned for her, but only for a minute. And only because she was filled with so much hatred. As her body vanished Inu Yasha saw the part of Kagome's soul that Kikyo had that kept her "alive", zoom back towards the Bone Eater's well. The Shikon no Tama was nowhere to be seen. Kikyo had told the truth.

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

Kagome was cooking dinner when she felt it. The last of her soul had returned to her.

"Kikyo's been destroyed. By who?" Kagome said to herself.

"Most likely Naraku. I don't think Inu Yasha could have." he stated.

"That would mean that Naraku now has the Shikon no Tama." Their worst fears were realized. Naraku now had most, if not all of the jewel.

'Oh Inu Yasha. Please be careful.' Kagome pleaded silently

'Inu Yasha. My friend. Be careful.' Miroku thought at the same time.

A/N: So what'd you think?

Inu Yasha: I told you I could handle Kikyo.

Hei: So you did. But you almost didn't. It's a good thing she mentioned where the Shikon no Tama was. Think you'll be able to handle Naraku now that he has most of the jewel?

Inu Yasha.: Of course I will.

Kagome: You better live Inu Yasha. Don't go getting yourself killed.

Sango: What about me? Am I still unconscious?

Hei: Yup. Sorry but we can't have you killing everyone under Naraku's orders.

Sango: Good point.

Hei: okay. Now that all that is straitened out. PLEASE REVIEW!!! I know some of you have things to say. There has to be something. Even I have things to say about the story. And I'm the one writing it. C'mon people. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Any suggestions for up coming chapters? I'm open to all those things. Just please say something. Also, if anyone knows of any Male Japanese names please let me know... its for an up coming chapter. ^_^ I'd be very grateful. Chapter 9 will be up A.S.A.P. It might take a while because its going to be long and I have school to work around.
