(A/N-Well I'm back for I think the last chapter. Sorry I took so long to update, I got caught up in all my other stories. But now, it's time for what some of you might have been waiting for! The ending! How will this end? Will Inuyasha find a way to defeat Shimbo without killing Shippo? And if he does, what will happen to Shippo when he returns? Ha ha ha ha! I love suspenseful endings!)

Disclaimer: I've gone through 7 chapters of doing this, I think you all know by now that I don't own squat.

Chapter 8-Shippo's Will

It seemed impossible to make a move on Shimbo. He was fast and strong, but worst of all he had Shippo. Shimbo threw another one of his Foxfires at Inuyasha, and he dodged it. It seemed that all they could do was to dodge Shimbo's attacks until they thought of a plan.

"That does it!" Inuyasha finally yelled. "I'm killing that bastard!"

"Inuyasha don't!" Kagome yelled. "You'll kill Shippo!"

"I know! Shippo will have to die for us. He will have an honorable death," Inuyasha said taking out his Tetsuiga.

"Inuyasha don't you dare!"

Inuyasha ran up to Shimbo with his sword raised, "I'll use the wind scar on him!"

"Inuyasha! Sit!"

Inuyasha fell face first into the ground in front of Shimbo. Shimbo started to laugh, "That's pathetic!"

"Inuyasha there has to be another way to beat him!" Kagome yelled.

"Well I can't think of anything!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Inuyasha!" Sango and Miroku ran up with their weapons towards Shimbo. Sango started to attack him with her Hiraikotsu, and Miroku went over to Inuyasha. "Don't worry Inuyasha, let us stall Shimbo while you and Kagome think of a plan." Miroku then went with Sango attacking Shimbo.

Inuyasha jumped over to Kagome, "So what do you think we should do?" Inuyasha sounded a little annoyed.

"I don't know, I really don't," Kagome said.

"Oh no! Everyone's getting clobbered because of me! I wasn't strong enough to control Shimbo, and now he's going to kill everyone! What am I going to do?"

Though I couldn't see what was happening, I could hear. I knew what was going on, but I was dormant inside of Shimbo. Not able to touch or talk or see.

"I can't let this happen! I have to do something! I know I can beat this guy! This is my body, not his! Though he may have all the physical strength, I have a stronger will!"

Shimbo shot another Foxfire and hit Sango. It seemed so impossible to beat him without killing Shippo.

"Oh, Inuyasha! What're we going to do?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know! I really think that the only way to defeat him is to kill Shippo."

"Oh no! I hope not! There must be something else we can do."

Miroku and Sango continued to keep Shimbo at bay while Kagome and Inuyasha thought of something to do.

"There's no other way!" Inuyasha yelled lunging at Shimbo. "You'll have to die!"

Suddenly Shimbo groaned and dropped to his knees.

"Well that easy," Inuyasha said stopping and resting Tetsuiga on his shoulder.

"Stop it!" Shimbo said.

"Who're you talking to?" Inuyasha asked.

"Just go back to sleep!" Shimbo yelled again.

NO! a familiar voice yelled.

"Shippo?" Kagome asked.

Get back where you belong! I won't let you hurt my friends anymore! Shippo's voice yelled out.

"You forget that I'm stronger than you!" Shimbo said standing up.

Everyone just watched as Shimbo fought against Shippo.

This isn't about physical strength! This is about how strong your will is!

A light then started to engulf Shimbo. "No! You won't defeat me! Not you!"

The light got brighter and brighter until nothing of Shimbo could be seen.

"What's happening?!" Miroku asked.

"I don't know," Sango answered.

Then the light grew dimmer, and a small figure could be seen standing where Shimbo used to be.

"Shippo!" Kagome yelled.

When the light was gone, Shippo stood in Shimbo's place holding the blue feather in his hand. "I did it!" Shippo said happily.

"You little!" Inuyasha ran over to Shippo with his hand balled up in a fist.

"Inuyasha sit!" Kagome yelled.

Inuyasha's face made contact with the ground again.

"Damn! Will you stop doing that?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'm really sorry for what I've done," Shippo said, "I didn't know that this would happen. I only wanted to help fight."

"It's ok Shippo," Sango said.

"No it's not!" Inuyasha said getting up from the ground. "You could have killed us all!"

"I'm really sorry," Shippo said looking towards the ground.

"What are you going to do with the feather?" Kagome asked.

"I'm getting rid of it of course," Shippo said.

"Good. We should all go back to Kaede's," Kagome said.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Everyone sat on the floor in Kaede's getting their wounds tended to, except Shippo. Shippo ran off to his mother's carrying the feather with him. When he reached the grave, he walked to where he dug up the feather. He began to dig ferociously until the hole was so big he could sit in it and dropped the feather.

"This should never see the surface again," Shippo said.

He got up from the hole and started to burry it. When he finished he walked to the front of the grave.

"Please mother, make sure this feather never surfaces again." Shippo waved goodbye and walked off to Kaede's, leaving the feather, and all it's evil, buried.
