Disclaimer: Don't own 'em blah blah neither do you so let's move on!

InuYasha: That's it? No humiliating me in front of everyone?

Miroku: Or me?

Shel: Umm…no not really.

InuYasha: …

Miroku: …

Shel: …yes? (shifty eyes) What do you want from me?

Miroku: Maybe we should leave before shes normal again…

Shel: I AM NORMAL! I'm just having a rough life right now! (growls) My whole life is bananas! Yes BANANAS! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

InuYasha: …psycho…

Miroku: Yep…

Shel: (glares) (gets her shovel) What did you two say?

InuYasha and Miroku: NOTHING!

Kagome: Running out of ideas?

Shel: (sniff) Yes…

Seems I'm only doing this for a few HIGHLY LOVED fans. In other news…onto the chapter.

"I don't think Ren is a reincarnation at all." Yumi gasped between breaths.

"I think you're right. We better tell the others then." No sooner had Kagome finished her sentence, she slammed into something and fell back down bringing Yumi with her. "I—ITAI!"

Yumi blinked at the figure the miko had bumped into. "Hey it's you."

"Wh-what are you doing here Sesshomaru?"

The Inuyoukai glared down at them both. Kagome stood up with Yumi's help. Yumi looked overjoyed to see Sesshomaru. "Aye…sorry I ran away. Heh…"

Sesshomaru ignored her. "Where's Naraku?"

"Inside the castle with InuYasha and the others." Kagome answered.

"That half breed is of no concern to me right now." Sesshomaru replied in his cold voice and turned on his heels only to come face to face with the half breed himself.

InuYasha glared. Seeing his half brother there with Kagome on the ground behind him and Yumi next to her isn't a very good sight. "Sesshomaru what'd you do to them?"

"You care?" Sesshomaru replied mockingly.

"I'll kill you." InuYasha jabbed the Tetsusaiga in Sesshomaru's direction.

"Sesshomaru drew his own sword, Tokijin and was about to charge at his brother when the miko's voice stopped both of them. "Hey wait a second! Sesshomaru didn't do anything, InuYasha, it was Ren."

"Ren?"

Unfortunately, that was all InuYasha had time to say. An explosion erupted from within the castle; smoke rose from what looked like the center of it.

"Sango! She and the other two are still inside!" Kagome wore a look of pure horror. Yumi was squeezing the life out of the miko's arm.

"So that's where Naraku is." Sesshomaru said with the calmest of tone. Before anyone could answer him, the inu demon took off disappearing from sight.

"Let's go InuYasha, hurry!" Kagome urged when a long period of silence had passed. InuYasha blinked. The miko glared at him. "C'mon let's go!"

"Oh yeah, right!"

"Sango!"

Miroku had lost sight of the taijiya when the smoke had erupted from the blast. Where was Shippo…he had been right there!

Before Miroku could look any father, a giant boomerang weapon as hurled at him and he dropped to the floor. The Hiraikotsu became lodged in the wall behind him. The houshi, now cowering on the floor on all fours, was covered in sweat drops with his eyes mere slits.

The weapon had created a path through the smoke and Sango emerged. "Miroku are you alright? Did I hit you?"

Miroku shot to his feet, "I'm…fine…" Within a blink of an eye, Miroku had Sango's hands in his. "It was you, my dear Sango that I was concerned about."

Sango had the courtesy to blush but gripped the houshi's wrists and flipped him back on the floor. "Hentai!"

Miroku twitched. "Not the right time?"

A tentacle crashed into the boarded floor two inches away from Miroku's face. Of course the houshi freaked and scrambled away.

Naraku chuckled evilly from somewhere in the smoke. Miroku yanked the prayer beads off his cursed hand. "Kaza—!"

"Miroku stop!" Sango yelled pulling the Hiraikotsu out of the wall. Miroku froze. "You can't use your wind tunnel yet. We have no idea where Shippo or even Naraku himself is!"

Miroku growled in frustration and wrapped the beads around his hand again. "Of course…"

"KAZE NO KIZU!"

Miroku and Sango barely had enough to time to dodge the attack. The smoke was cleared and everyone got a pretty good view of the now severely damaged room. InuYasha, Kagome, and a very freaked-out Yumi stood in the door way.

Miroku pointed a finger at them. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US!"

InuYasha shrugged. "Maybe. But if Naraku died in the process, would you have cared?"

"I know your joking…" Miroku's arm fell back to his side.

"Don't know much do you?"

Kagome whapped him hard on the shoulder. "Cut it out!"

Everyone's attention was directed to a small whimpering sound coming from Kagome's side. Yumi was clinging for dear life onto the miko's arm, eyes wide her pupil's mere dots. "That was…that was…that was…!"

InuYasha blinked. "What?"

"She's never seen you use your Wind Scar before…" Kagome arched an eyebrow shaking her arm a little, testing to see if Yumi would let go. Her tests failed. The little girl continued to cling to her arm.

A statue from the middle of the room ((just inches from the dent from the wind scar) popped into a brown fuzz ball. Shippo was shaking with anger. "INUYASHA YOU BAKA! YOU ALMOST HIT ME!"

InuYasha half smiled. "I did?"

Shippo growled. "Yes you did!"

"And I missed?" InuYasha looked disappointed. "Damn…"

"You're joking again." Shippo took a step back. Then the kit spotted the miko next to the hanyou and jumped in her free arm. "Kagome! You're ok!"

Kagome winced. There was a reason Yumi was hanging on to her right arm and not her left arm. "Shippo…" Kagome twitched.

Shippo looked up at Kagome questioningly but was knocked to the ground by InuYasha. "What was that for InuYasha!"

Kagome's raised her arm the best she could and sleeve bunched up at her shoulder showing her arm was burned and black from the lightning. Shippo's jaw dropped. "Kagome…"

"Where did he go?" Sango clutched to Hiraikotsu. Kirara and Naraku had disappeared after the Wind Scar.

"Kirara!"

The last of the smoke had cleared and a bit of light from the setting sun streamed in though a hole in the wall.

Scratch that a GIANT hole.

Shippo peered out through the hole. Naraku was below on the grounds, a slimy brown bubbly ((gross, no?)) tentacle was wrapped around the neko demon's neck. Kirara was biting at it furiously with no avail.

"Kirara! She's down there with Naraku!" Shippo pointed hopping up and down frantically.

Naraku lifted Kirara into the air and threw her against a tree where she transformed back into her smaller self.

Naraku smirked beneath his baboon cloak. "Feeling faint, neko youkai?"

Kirara hissed the mewed in pain.

"HIRIKOSTU!"

Naraku's tentacle became apart of his arm again and jumped out of the way. Sango reached up and grabbed the Hiraikotsu as it swung around back to her.

"You wench…" Naraku threw his cloak off. "You will all die."

InuYasha frowned. "Says you…we're gonna waste you."

Naraku growled. "You dare challenge me?"

InuYasha raised Tetsusaiga for another attack. "You bet! KAZE NO KIZU!"

Shel: Ok that's it…….a short chapter but I must explain to you. "Ghost of You" is a story in which Kagome is dead. It's very hard putting all the characters emotions together in this story because they're so different from the emotions in "Ghost of You." So if everyone seems OOC yes that's my fault. The updates for this chapter should come more often. I've got two other stories tho and I'm looking forward to this one's end sorta. And I know you all are too. Plus when school starts, the chapters will come slower. But school doesn't start for a week. DAMN YOU SCHOOL! I'm also deleteing one of my stories. I'll repost that story after Resurrection…maybe. Because I have anew story called "Challenge." First chapter might be out today…It s high school fic and my first one. Go easy on me. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Don't forget to review! Next time is the battle. …I'm so bad at battles.
