"That's right, you heard me!" The specter shouted at the pathetic form of the once-powerful Garasu. He flew over towards the dying forms of his comrades.

"No!" Garasu shouted. She plunged her way in between Danny and the others. "I have to die! I won't go alone! All my life I've been alone." She whimpered. "I was born alone, was forced to live alone. I thought I could live a life with Lord Sesshomaru, but he abandoned me, just like everyone else. Don't you see? We can all be together in death."

Danny stared at her for a moment. This woman was the most pathetic creature he had ever encountered. But some part of him knew how she felt. Ever since he had been made a phantom, he felt like no one understood him. But now he knew that that was a lie. He had friends. "Garasu…" he began, "we don't have to die here, we can all be together and be friends." He extended his hand, "let me help you". He said simply.

Garasu looked at him wide-eyed. What? Someone offering to help her? "Why?" she asked.

"Because, Garasu, you and I are going to save our friends!" With that he phased through her being and was able to remove the arrow from her chest. "Now come on, and help me! I know you can Garasu!" he shouted. With that he motioned to Sam and Kagome and the trio started helping their friends.

Garasu felt her chest. It was healing rapidly. He had…saved her. She couldn't believe it. She watched as Danny began phasing her diamonds out of his friends' bodies. Kagome and Sam quickly laid them gently on the floor, trying their best to revive each one. But it was to no avail. They were all unconscious and both Sam and Kagome were powerless to stop the bleeding. They were all deathly pale. As soon as Danny phased the last diamond out, he went back over to Garasu.

"Isn't there anything we can do?" He asked her. She looked him in his eyes. He had called himself her friend.

"Danny," She began, "What is it that friends do?" Danny gave her a puzzled look. "I've never had any before, and I always wanted to know."

"They help each other." He said simply. He waited for a response from Garasu. Would she help them? Could she help them?

"Very well, then" she said softly, "But just, do one thing for me. Don't forget me." With that she turned her back on Danny and faced Kagome and Sam. "Get away," she said sternly. The pair looked up at Danny. He gave an approving nod, and they both huddled away from the bodies of their friends. Kagome was crying. Sam looked up at Danny. She saw him talking to Garasu. What was going on?

All of a sudden a bright yellow light came forth from Garasu. At first it enveloped just Inuyasha, then it became larger and included Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kikyo. Then it expanded even more and included Kagome and Sam. Garasu turned toward Danny. He eyes filled with tears. "Don't forget me," she whispered. After that, the last thing Danny remembered before the yellow warmth flooded his senses, was why Garasu's chest was bleeding again.

"Hey wake up you!" A familiar voice shouted. "Come on, you weren't even injured and you're still asleep? Feh!"

"Inuyasha, you really shouldn't try to wake him up like that! I, mean, you should be a little kinder to the one who basically saved your life." Another voice said.

"Whatever! I owe my life to no one!" He said indifferently. But then his voice changed. "Hey wait, I didn't mean it, I only meant-" He didn't finish in time.

"Osuwari." A giant thud was heard, followed by several muffled obscenities. A giggle was heard. And it wasn't Kagome's.

"Sam." Danny opened his eyes to see Sam giggling over the flattened shape of Inuyasha.

"Danny!" She rushed over to him, "you're finally awake!" She couldn't resist giving him a giant hug. "I was so worried about you!" Danny lost himself in the embrace. But he soon realized something.

"Hey! You're hugging me!" He shouted.

"Yeah, I know, and I've kinda been wanting to tell you…" she started.

"That means that I'm back together!" He shouted. He sprang up and began jumping for joy. "Oh this is so great! I thought I was going to be stuck as a ghost forever. But I'm ba-ack, I'm ba-ack!" He started singing an original tune of triumph.

"Yeah, that too…" Sam said to no one in particular. She watched Danny do his dorky little victory dance. She had to admit that it was sort of cute. Okay, she thought, maybe everything about Danny was sort of cute. She had to tell him that someday.

Danny stopped short. "Hey, but, what about Garasu?" He had almost completely forgotten about her in the joy of his being put back together. "Is she okay?" He asked.

"She used all of her life force to save us." Another familiar voice said. It was Miroku. " Kagome told us what happened. And we are all very grateful to both you and Sam for coming to help us. Especially Sam…" The monk was interrupted by a crack on the head by an enraged woman standing beside him. "Sango…" he sighed. "You were here…"

"Of course I was here you lecherous monk!" she yelled. The two began arguing. It was almost adorable in a bodily harm sort of way. Danny turned back to Sam.

"I don't understand any of this, do you?" He asked.

"Nope." She said simply

"Do you think we'll ever get back home?" he mused

"Well, Garasu left this behind." She produced a small white bead. "And I have one just like it. She produced another identical bead from her pocket. "This was the thing she used to transport you here, and I think it will transport us back."

Danny took one of the beads from her hand. All of a sudden things around him got fuzzy. He saw the distorted shape of Inuyasha running towards him, but he never made it. Danny clasped Sam's hand as they were miraculously transported back to the future.

Hello all! And this is not the end by the way. The next chapter will be the last, however. Thanks to everyone who's been reviewing.
