(kagome's voiced introduction)"We have finally gathered almost all the jewel shards, except for the ones Naraku has. We have finally tracked him down and now it's a face off, for the shards, and for our lives. Naraku has really beaten us down but we just can't let him win."
Fighting for the Jewel, the final showdown.
"Inu Yasha, behind you!" Miroku called and knocked Naraku off with his staff. Inu Yasha smirked his thanks and slashed at Naraku but he dodged it. Inu Yasha and Miroku ducked as Sango's huge boomerang charged through the air but it just missed Naraku both times. "Shippo, find me more arrows, I'm running out." Kagome pulled out another arrow and aimed it at Naraku, she fired, and it nailed him in his arm. As he recoiled Inu yasha jumped at him with Tetsiaga, he dodged. "Kagome, I can't find anymore arrows. I was lucky enough to find the ones in the quiver." Shippo popped up at Kagome's side. Darn it. I only have two more arrows, but I only nicked him the first two times I hit him. The other times I missed him completely. Kagome pulled out one of her last arrows and took a deep breath. I have to focus. I need to wait until I'm sure I can hit him but mean while, Sango, Miroku, and Inu yasha are getting hurt... Now. She fired, the arrow whistled right into Naraku's stomach. "Yes! I got him!" Kagome cheered. Naraku chuckled, "Not good enough." He jumped and came down hard on Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha was thrown back and he lay still on his back. "No Inu Yasha! Die Naraku! Wind Tunnel!" Miroku let his wind tunnel go and Naraku just laughed again and then let out some of his bees. Kelala attacked all the bees as Miroku wrapped up his wind tunnel. "Damn it. How many of those things does his have?" "I don't know but your wind tunnel isn't a good idea, you almost sucked me in." Inu Yasha walked up to Miroku's side. Sango walked up to Miroku's other side. "We don't have that much time left. We can't keep fighting like this forever." Miroku nodded. Naraku jumped at them separating them. He ran at Kagome and Shippo at full speed. "Kagome! Shoot him down Kagome!" Inu Yasha jumped up behind Naraku. "Wind Scar!" Inu Yasha's ripped through Naraku's back with his Wind Scar just as Kagome's last arrow hit him straight in the chest. Naraku let out a blood-curdling scream and dropped to the ground at Kagome's feet. Inu Yasha ran up to Kagome's side, the bow in her hand was shaking furiously. "Kagome, are you alright?" Inu Yasha picked her up and jumped back to where Miroku and Sango were standing.
The group watched the body but it didn't move. "Is he really gone? How can we tell." Inu Yasha looked over at the body lying a few feet away. Sango walked up to Naraku's unmoving body and put the tip of her boomerang through him. "I think that should do it but just to make sure...Miroku." She walked back to Miroku and took his hand. Miroku blushed. "Sango" he said tenderly and moved closer to her. All of a sudden Sango droped his hand and slaped him hard across the face, "I was checking your Wind Tunnel you pervert!" Miroku's other hand lingered near Sango's behind a little long then he pulled it to his cheek. "Stand back. If he's not dead, I don't want everyone to be pulled in." Sango pulled out his hand as far as it would stretch and jingled the prayer beads. She finally just yanked them off and started screaming and grabed onto Miroku's wrist harder. "Sango! NO!" Miroku grabed for her waist and to his surprise grabs it. He blinked at the scene. Inu Yasha, Kagome and Sango start laughing. Miroku looked at his hand, the wind tunnel was gone. "Oh boy Miroku. You sure fell for that one. You really do care about Sango don't you?" Shippo jumps up onto Inu Yasha's shoulder. "I...well...I..." Miroku went a bright red. Inu Yasha turned to Naraku's body but Kagome beat him to it, and was searching through Naraku's body. "Ah ha! I found them. I found the rest of the jewel shards." Inu Yasha walked over. Miroku reached for Sango's wrist. "Miroku?" She turned to him. "Why did you risk your life? What if the wind tunnel hadn't disappeared? What if killing Naraku just meant that my child wouldn't have it?" Sango turned away, "I just had to take that risk." Miroku looked at her, "Why?" Sango shrugged. Miroku pulled Sango deep into his chest and wrapped his arms tightly around. "Sango...You're the only girl I have ever cared for. I know you can't trust my word but..." Miroku pulled Sango out of his grip just enough to see her face. "Can I...I'm...I..." Miroku stuttered as he looked deep into Sango's deep brown eyes. How long he had dreamed of this moment but never had the guts to make it real. "What do you want to say Miroku? And why are you holding me like this?" Sango's puzzled eyes tried to read the dirty thoughts she suspected to be lingering. He looked away. "Sango..." He turned back and pulled her just close enough to feel her nervous breath. "I'm going to kiss you. Please just don't say anything, just let me kiss you." Miroku pulled Sango's lips into his, she stiffened but didn't pull away. Miroku pulled her closer and Sango slowly and cautiously puts her arms around his waist. Miroku pulls their lips apart. "Good bye Sango. I...I...I love you." Miroku smiled and walked away. Sango was stunned, he hadn't caressed her behind, and he hadn't done anything but kiss her. He had never been so loving and tender near her before. "Miroku wait!" Miroku stopped and turned, he braced for Sango's hand to hit his cheek hard. Sango touched Miroku's cheek softly. "Miroku. I love you, too." A small smile spread across his face, "Really?" Sango nodded. "Can...Can I kiss you again?" She nodded, he pulled her close to him again and touched her lips. "Finally, he can get close enough and not touch her butt." Inu Yasha and Kagome were watching them kiss. Miroku and Sango blushed and stepped apart. "I knew all you guys needed was the right atmosphere." Kagome smiled. "And look at what I've got now." She held up the completed jewel shard. They smiled. "Come on lets get out of here." Inu Yasha began walking towards Kiada's village. Kagome ran up and walked beside Inu Yasha and let Miroku and Sango walk alone.
