Disclaimer: I don't own…ANY characters 'cept Yumi cuz I created her sort of…yeaaaaah…ANYWAY! Onto the chepetah!

"Oh yeah!" Bounces up and down. "I got my cast off but it hurts yeah! But I'm so hyper and happy that this is fic is almost done! This chapter is going to be…semi-long! YEAH! LATER!" Looks around. "Uh oh…InuYasha's escaped."

"You're gonna go find him?" Lai asks.

"They don't call me Shel The InuYasha stalker for nuthin'!" Shel grabs one of those jungle explorer hats and a butterfly nets. "If they work on fairies they'll work on half demons!"

"You do that…"

Resurrection

Chapter 40

Yumi scrambled to her feet only to be picked up by Naraku's clawed hands. "Eep! Let go!"

"Not a chance." Naraku smirked. "You actually might help me one way or the other." He reached with his free hand for Yumi's neck where the jewel shard was located.

"No don't!" Kagome shrieked. "Let her go!" Naraku hesitated. "Are you worried?" The jewel shard gave a pink glow and then it subsided. The sound of the ground breaking apart was heard and the Wind Scar ripped past her and Shippo straight for Naraku.

Naraku growled and threw Yumi to the side and leaped out of the way of the Wind Scar. Ren also side stepped the attacked. Kagome whipped around. "What the heck are you thinking?-!-!" she all but yelled at the hanyou.

"Oh please. Naraku's not gonna risk losing material or a sacred jewel shard." InuYasha answered. Yumi sat up and shook the dirt crumbs from her hair. "Find a better way next time." She muttered.

InuYasha's ear twitched. "Hey I heard—." Sword clashed with sword as Naraku swooped down for another attack only to have it blocked. "You care so much for her and you barely know who she is." Naraku sneered. "Just keep your filthy hands off her." InuYasha countered.

Kagome kneeled down by Yumi. "Are you okay?" Yumi nodded. "Fine." Shippo jumped out of Kagome's arms. The miko looked down at him and not 3 feet away were five shards. When the Wind Scar…Naraku must've dropped them.

Ren rubbed her forehead. "Oh this is all giving me such a headache." She looked down at her other hand. It was bleeding. "Damn! Well isn't that just…" A pink glow came from the corner of her eye. She looked farther and saw that Naraku's jewel shards had been carelessly dropped on the ground. "Oh that fool…" She met Kagome's eyes. Kagome glared at her. Ren looked taken back. "Oh you are not getting those shards!"

Before Ren could even flinch, Kagome dove for the shards, grabbed them and jumped back. Ren growled through clenched teeth. "Give 'em back miko!"

Kagome turned around. "Not a chance!" Stuffing them into her bottle around her neck, Kagome grabbed Yumi's hand and Shippo in the other arm and dragged them over to Sango and Miroku. "Hold 'em!" Sango took Yumi behind Hiraikotsu and Miroku held Shippo in his other arm.

Kagome searched the ground and found her bow in the bushes. "Ha!" She looked for an arrow or anything that remotely looked like an arrow next. "Something, something, anything, something!"

"You're really pissing me off!" InuYasha swung down Tetsusaiga on Naraku's blade cracking it up the middle. Naraku brought the blade up around the curve and to Tetsusaiga's handle. "Feel like losing a hand?" Out of reflex, InuYasha dropped Tetsusaiga and stuck his claws through Naraku's neck. "Up close…you're still a loser wannabe demon!"

Gasp! Someone dares call Naraku a WANNABE DEMON?-! But it's Naraku! You just don't do that! Well…he didn't like it to well and decided that if he was going to have claws in his throat, InuYasha would have a tentacle through his. "Filthy half breed!"

"Oh and you are—?" InuYasha ducked, grabbed Tetsusaiga and jumped back. Naraku clutched his bleeding throat. "You…"

"Hey Naraku-kun!" Ren shouted through cupped hands. "The girl has your jewel shards!"

Naraku's eyes widened a bit. His jewel shards…he dropped them? Damn! That's a mistake you cannot make twice! Naraku turned on the Kagome. "You wench!" Kagome took one look at Naraku's face and jumped back. "Oh no…"

Copying Sesshomaru's ((oh shit…I forgot about Sesshomaru…DAMN! Rookie mistake…)) lightning speed Naraku was 2 inches away from Kagome in 2 seconds. "The jewel shards wench!" He demanded. Kagome grabbed the bottle around the thread and pulled, snapping the string easily. Naraku wrapped his hand around the miko's neck and lifted her up. "Just give me the shards and you will all walk out of here unharmed."

"You damn liar…" Kagome struggled. "Sango!" With her left hand, Kagome tossed the bottle to the ground. Kirara jumped down and transformed but cringed from the poison. Sango scooped up the bottle and jumped on her cat and they both took to the sky.

"Ergh! Impudent humans!" Naraku growled. His eyes flashed an icy blue. "You shall pay for that!"

"Quit taking hostages!" Miroku dropped—quit literally dropped—Shippo and cut through Naraku's fleshy hands with his staff. Kagome landed woozily on her feet and rubbed her throat. "Nice Miroku…thank you." Miroku unwrapped the beads around his hand. "Now that I don't have to worry about any jewel shards…"

"AHEM!" Ren cleared her throat loud enough for the houshi to hear. She folded her arms and pointed a left claw at the cat and taijiya in the sky. "I dare you 'houshi-sama'." She mocked.

"Damn it I hate when there are more than one of you…." Miroku muttered. Kagome looked at her bow. She blinked. This bow had a snapped string…it couldn't have been the bow from last time…

Flashback…((from Spider Scar))

Kagome pulled the arrow back and let go. The power of the arrow was so much the string had snapped! She dropped the useless bow and only hoped that he arrow would hit…

End Of Flashback…

Holy Shit! It was the bow from last time! Oh well…Taking three or four jewel shards from the bottle and jamming them into the bow, Kagome watched as the string vibrated and tightened. It worked! Yay! Now alls he needed was an arrow…

Miroku's staff.

Hey…it worked once…

Kagome grabbed the staff. "Naraku!"

Naraku looked up and stepped back. "What are you…" Kagome sneered at him. "Don't move…"

Shel giggles freakishly. "I hope you're happy! I'm so sorry it's short! But I'm still healing! Challenge and Ghost of You will be out later this week! Buh-Bye!" Look around. "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME FOREVER INU!"

"………..oh yes I can………….."
