Kagome Pov
All I did while they yelled at me in turn was hang my head and look at the ground in shame. They were hurt, angry, sad, and disappointed. By the time 8:00 rolled around I felt like my ears were going to fall off! Hiei had just finished yelling at me and had left the room with a frustrated growl.
I tried to leave without them because I had never wanted them to be caught up in this whole mess in the first place! I didn't want to loose anyone else to Naraku. If I did, I would die.
"Why Kagome?" The soft question snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Kurama in the room yet not looking at me, he was looking at the wall. I guess he was too upset to even look at me.
"You here to yell at me too, everyone else has." I said quietly as I looked back down.
"No, I'm not here to yell. The others have yelled at you enough. I am just curious as to why you tried to leave. Don't you trust us Kagome? Don't you trust us to come out of this alive? Do you trust me?"
Tears started running down my cheeks. I had not cried while they had yelled at me, but I did cry when Kurama spoke so quietly yet his voice was laced with everything he was feeling. Anger, sadness, curiosity, disappointment, and a few others as well.
"I…I don't want to loose anyone else to Naraku. If I did, I wouldn't be able to handle it." I whispered so low that Kurama almost didn't hear it. But he did.
"You won't, we have battled many great foes and won. I don't think Naraku will be any different." He sounded so sure.
"Naraku is very powerful since he has the majority of the Shikon Jewel. He is a trickster, if he wants to make your life miserable he'll be damned if he doesn't find a way. Naraku is unlike any that you've faced. I'm lucky that I've fought him and lived to tell the tale." I let out a short, hollow, laugh. "I don't think I'll make it out of this last battle alive."
"Don't think such thoughts." He scolded me in his quiet tone. "We will ALL make it out alive. We will ALL see the end, together."
"Together, together we stand and together we'll fall." Yusuke's gruff voice added.
"We won't let you do this on your own Kagome." Kuwabara said in a determined voice.
"We are all here to help you, don't try to stop us." Hiei said. I could feel the smirk in his voice.
"Because we have your back the whole way!" Shippo smiled.
I looked up at them with a watery smile. They were my family, odd as it was, they were my family and we would support each other as they were supporting me. "Thanks guys." I smiled.
They all smiled back. Shippo hugged me best he could as I put my arms around him and hugged him back. "I shouldn't have tried to leave. I just…..promise that you guys won't die on me. If you do I will personally bring you back and kill you myself." They all laughed.
"Just don't try to leave us behind again. Besides, I'm sure that we would have found a way there even if you did manage to leave." Hiei smirked.
"I don't doubt that you all would have." I laughed.
A couple of hours later we were walking through Inuyasha's Forest looking for more jewel shards. I hadn't sensed any jewel shards so far so I figured that Naraku must have the rest of them.
I wasn't looking forward to fighting him but as long as I had my friends, son, and brother I felt like I could do anything if I set my mind to it. And as Hiei had told me on occasion, I could.
Shippo was getting restless. He knew that the final battle was coming up. Ginta and Hakkaku were traveling with us to help as well. Then I saw Kagura, Kanna, and Naraku. This is it, the battle that would decide the fate of the world, the battle that would decide who would come out alive, the battle that all could be saved or lost.
This is it; the final battle had finally come.

I have a question for you all, all right two!
VOTING TIME!
1. I am thinking about ending the story when Naraku is dead, which will be in a couple more chapters.but if I get enough votes to continue, Naraku's brother (not telling) can come for revenge!
2. When this story is complete which story do you all want me to work on next? It's your choice! I really want to know.
Thank you all for the reviews and please continue reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu-Yu-Hakusho. If I did Kagome and Kurama would have met a long time ago and YYH wouldn't have been taken off the air!
