Chapter 1

Too Much Silence

Sango1on1: Konichiwa! How you doin? Well here ya go. R&R pleeze. NO FLAMES.

"Are you wagering you'll get out alive?" Myoga asked him. There was a long moment of silence. Inu-Yasha flicked the flea away.

"You disgust me." He said, he sighed and walked through the first set of doors. Everyone else waiting behind. "What? Are you coming or not? Im not waiting for you." Inu-Yasha said.

Everyone walked threw with him.

They had been walking through the castle, for which seemed to be like forever when all of the sudden Shippo started to cry. Everyone stared at him bug-eyed. As much as they where willing to admit, they, all but Inu-Yasha, wanted to cry as well. Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder. No one needed to ask what was wrong. It was obvious how scared he was, and how he was dreading things to come. Surprisingly, the first one to come was Kagura. The batter (a/n: I was going to correct it, but I left it for a laugh. I meant battle) dwelled on for a long time. Finally at the end, Inu-Yasha delivered wind scar…and all hell went lose. Yes Kagura died, but no one was aware that they had actually succeeded in killing her a very llloonngggg time ago. She was living off of the tammashiis Kanna captured, and once she died, so did Kanna. As Kanna fell, her mirror broke and all of the tammashiis she captured were unleashed into Kagura. Lucky for Kagome, her purifying arrows freed the tammashiis and Inuyasha killed Kagura in a mass of gold explosion.

There were hardly any disturbing after that. A few small big talker youkais, but besides that nothing else. And hardly anyone was hurt. Shippo had a bump on his head when he ran into Sango's leg and Miroku had a scratch on his left cheek from when he pushed Sango out of the way of Kagura's attack.

"Hoshi-sama!" Sango yelled from on top of Kirara. She reached down a hand and grabbed Miroku, helping him dodge an attack thrown by Naraku. Yes, they finally found him. When

he was trying to run too. "Sango, please call me Miroku. We know each other well enough. Right?"

"FOX FIRE!" Shippo yelled, trying to be strong. He ended up getting thrown into Kagome's arms.

"Stay out of this Shippo!" Inu-Yasha yelled. He readied his Tetsusaiga. Naraku laughed sinisterly.

"Playing babysitter Kagome?" He laughed again, more loudly. "Wanna take break and play?"

Kagome shot him a look of pure disgust.

"KAZE NO KIZU!" Inu-Yasha yelled, purposely missing. "Leave Kagome alone! Its me and you!"

Naraku grinned sinisterly. "Or is it?" Before anyone could react, he lashed out and grabbed Kagome…or so they thought. Kagome screamed as he held both her risk.

"I got the girl don't I? Three is better then two." Naraku said. Inu-Yasha muttered a string of curses. 'He's using her as a shield!'

"DUCK SHIPPO-CHAN!"

An arrow came shooting from behind Naraku. The supposedly Kagome, screeched and ducked turning into Shippo. Kagome felt somewhat faint. She put everything in her into that arrow… 'Just…hope it works…'

"What? CURES YOU!" Naraku yelled. The arrow pierced through his middle. A radiant blue light appeared and covered the whole atmosphere in it, washing and purifying it.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Naraku screeched. Inu-Yasha smirked, winking at Kagome and Shippo.

"KAZE…NO KIZU!" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"HIRAKOTSU!" Sango screamed, throwing her boomerang with all of her strength, slicing the youkai in two. Miroku threw his staff just for the heck of it. The blue light soon turned into a wave of rainbow, changing into a form of a fierce dragon and charging at Naraku…and killing him.

"Kagome!" Shippo exclaimed. She stumbled forward and picked the kit up smiling. "Just tired…" She managed to whisper. No one said anything. Miroku pointed his hand away from everyone and said nothing when his windtunnle didn't show…when it was just…a left hand. Shippo went over to Kirara.

"Why's everyone so quiet?" He asked her, she mewed in response not knowing why. Kagome went over to the dead remains of their enemy. She picked up…TWELEVE JEWEL SHARDS!

"W-we did it…" Sango choked out.

"Lets not rejoice here, it gives me the creeps." Inu-Yasha said.

"Inu-yasha, do you think we should do something with these…bones?" Miroku asked.

"Hu?" Inu-Yasha asked.

"You mean, kill the body, just to make sure he doesn't regenerate?" Kagome asked. Miroku nodded. "I may be able to do just that. You know when I touched a jewel shard that's been marinated in evil I can purify it and the darkness goes away? Maybe…" She touched Naraku's bones and dust. It turned into dust and disappeared. She smiled. Inu-Yasha bent down for her.

"Get on, you look like you're about to pass out. Idiot shouldn't use up that much strength. You barely had any to began with."

Kagome's face turned red with frustration.

"SIT!"

''

They had found a nice relaxing meadow by Keade's hut. It had various natural activities to do also, like, play by the pond which Shippo was doing, pick cherry's like Sango, eat apples like Miroku, relax in a tree as Inu-Yasha did, and just wonder around like Kagome. Everyone could enjoy the rest of the day in peace, and enjoy their mini sanctuary. There was too much happiness, too much joy, too much relief, and too much silence all in the same moments.
