Note: Hi all. Here's chapter 11. I hope you all enjoy it. I know some people have been asking me to update. Thank you to those who reviewed my story. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inu Yasha characters. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. R&R! Please!!

Kagome climbed out of the well and ran to the school, the shard of the Shikon no Tama in her head. It was lunch time. Miroku would be in the cafeteria with Eri and Arimi.

'Perfect' she thought as she ran. 'That way I won't draw too much attention.' She got to the school just before lunch would end. That was just enough time to get in and catch Miroku as he was coming out. There he was! Walking out of the cafeteria as she was walking up. He spotted her and saw the urgency in her eyes. He left Eri and Arimi and went over to her.

"What is going on?" he asked. Still breathing heavily she answered.

"I. got. a . shard. I. need. your. help. getting. my family." she continued as her breathing steadied. "Souta called again. Grandpa died last night. My mom is sick. I promised Souta that I'd get him out of there. But I can't do it alone." She looked at him. Pleading him with her eyes. He paused and looked at her for only a moment.

"What are we waiting for?" he asked. They left the school unnoticed, except by Eri and Arimi from the classroom window. Kagome and Miroku went as fast and they could to the Tokyo Tower.

Sango climbed out of the well to see Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru working together to defeat Kagura and her minions. Sango threw her boomerang and hit Kagura in the back. Kagura fell forward, strait onto Tokijin. The sword went strait threw her and she fell, finally defeated. Destroying the rest of the smaller demons wasn't a problem once Inu Yasha was able to find the Wind Scar. When they all vanished, Inu Yasha grabbed the few Shikon no Tama shards that were strengthening some of the larger demons. Kagura had had three in her. Inu Yasha started for the well to fetch Kagome when a sinister laugh and the stench of a demon stopped him.

"Well done Inu Yasha. Now it's your turn to die"

"Naraku." Inu Yasha muttered. He turned to face the demon hiding under the baboon pelt. They looked at each other. Silence filled the air. They continued to stare and circled around for about 20 minutes. Inu Yasha was gathering his strength the whole time. Then, he attacked. Naraku dodged. But he wasn't fast enough to keep his baboon pelt from being torn off by Inu Yasha's claws. Naraku vanished and reappeared behind Inu Yasha. He struck Inu Yasha flew forward a few feet then turned.

"IRON REAPER SOUL STEALER!!!" Inu Yasha yelled as he attacked Naraku. Once again Naraku dodged and struck from behind. So the fight continued. Inu Yasha first, Naraku dodging and striking from behind. Sesshoumaru and Sango were waiting for the right moment to join in. Every time Naraku struck Inu Yasha Sango got angrier and longed for revenge for all the pain Naraku had caused even more.

Kagome and Miroku ran as fast as they could. Sunset was approaching fast. Since it was mid-autumn the sun set around 4:45 p.m. With 10 minutes left and about one mile they picked up their pace. Kagome stumbled and fell. Her knees and elbows were scrapped and started bleeding. She still clung to the shard. Miroku ran back to her and started helping her up.

"Get up Kagome. We're almost there." he urged. Kagome stayed where she was.

"We're not going to make it. I'll never see Souta and Mama again." she sobbed. Miroku stood up strait.

"You're right." he said. "Why don't you just stay here crying for the rest of time. Moping about how you couldn't save them. You aren't even trying right now." he continued Kagome sat up, looking at him.

"If you want to spend the rest of your life being miserable, that's fine with me. But I'd like to go home. The Kagome I know wouldn't give up like this." He reached down and grabbed the shard from Kagome. As he turned as started to walk away Kagome got up.

"Miroku, wait." she called out. "You're right. I'm being stupid about this. But did you notice that you were heading to the Tower and that my house and the well are in the other direction?"

"I was going to try to get your brother and mother." he stated.

"Well, I'm coming too." Kagome started to jog a little but collapsed. her legs were too weak from all the running before and from when she fell. Miroku knelt down and put Kagome on his back. With five minutes to go, Miroku took off at his fasted running speed ever.

'It is hard to run in these clothes that people of this time wear' Miroku thought as he ran closer to the Tokyo Tower in the school uniform Kagome had bought for him at the beginning of that week.

A/N: So? What'd you think? I suppose it was a little harsh for Miroku but it was needed.

Inu Yasha: So Naraku has most of the jewel right?

Hei: Yup. That he does.

Inu Yasha: How am I supposed to be that?

Hei: You'll see. I've actually got a plan for that. Most of this story has lead me instead of the other way around. lol.

Kagome: What's going to happen to Souta and Mama? Are we going to make it in time?

Hei: You'll see. I have a plan for Souta and your mom. I just don't know how I'm going to get there. Please review everyone!!! I have all weekend to write more so I should at least get chapter 12 done. I don't know. Like I said earlier, this story is leading me. I'm just the one with the pencil. ^_^;
