Disclaimer: If I DID own anyone, do you think that the following would be?

1: Kikyou is still alive

2: Naraku isn't gay

3: Shippo is a fox, not a kitty cat.

4: Dory (my cat) isn't there reeking havoc,

THOSE WOULD NOT BE SO IF I OWNED ANYTHING!

Anyway, it's been a while hasn't it? Hmm…well…My brother is in Iraq so I haven't been very 'right' at all. AND…I'm going on Vacation to get away from all of this on Thanksgiving and I'll return December 3. So, I'm going to try to get in a chapter of Ghost of You, Challenge, and KYS: Shel And Lai Style before I go. So here's Resurrection!

Now all she needed was an arrow…

Miroku's staff.

Hey…it worked once before…

Kagome grabbed the staff. "Naraku!"

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

Naraku remained where he was. Kagome actually had no intention of shooting Miroku's staff. What would happen? It would snap, that's what. And then she'd never hear the end of it from Miroku.

The miko kneeled there with the staff in one hand the bow in the other, unnotched. The others stood there in one of those dramatic pauses AKA "Awkward Silence".

Finally, Naraku broke the silence by charging at the miko. "You will do nothing to stop me now!"

In a second, Kagome held the bow up like a shield. Luckily, that's exactly what happened. Naraku was stopped by the jewel embedded bow quit literally frozen in midair of his attack. "What? WHAT!"

Kagome's hands started shaking. The power of the jewel shards combined with her miko powers was making her dizzy. "Naraku! You've caused too much suffering here! BE GONE TO HELL ALREADY!"

Naraku's body slowly fizzed away leaving little particles of flesh. The light from the bow surrounded him and his shriek echoed though the clearing and woods. And when the light subsided, Naraku was no where to be seen.

Kagome, breathing heavily, dropped the bow and the jewel shards fell out. Shippo jumped onto her shoulder. "Kagome, you killed him!"

"I what?" She jerked her head up. But it was so simple…no…Naraku had to be around here somewhere!

Miroku searched with his eyes but came up empty. The tingling in his hand was almost painful, but for now, he would ignore it.

Sango and Kirara landed on the ground but stood there frozen in case they should take to the sky again. "Is he gone?" Sango asked warily.

InuYasha's ears twitched but he too came up with nothing. He sniffed the air only to find the others sent. The only sent of Naraku came from Ren. Or…yeah…was that really Ren? Or something around her?

Ren growled. "He is. He's gone! And you wench, you killed him!"

Kagome stiffened. "But I didn't think it would…I was protecting myself!" She said the last part bitterly. Why should she care if Ren was upset or not? If Naraku was truly dead, then she was happy. Happy that he was dead, and almost happy Ren was in anguish.

Ren's eyes narrowed. "You shall pay with your—!"

A shriek from beside her made Ren stop in midsentence.

Yumi stood there, well…would be standing there. He body was also evaporating like Naraku's, but not in a fleshy way, like a pretty sparkly way. Her eyes filled with tears as the young girl studied her hands and feet. "Wha…I…I…I'm…!"

Shippo gasped silently. "Yumi, what's happening to her, Miroku?-!" The kit demanded. Miroku seemed stunned. "I don't really know Shippo. It seems that…because of Naraku's death, Yumi is also dying."

"Oh no, Yumi, no." Kagome jumped up and fell to her knees in front of the disappearing girl. "You can't leave yet…" She tried putting her hands on the girls shoulder, but they fell through. Yumi took a lung stabbing breath. "What's going on Kagome?"

Kagome shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't know…"

"She's dying all over again?" Sango asked herself. Kirara mewed hoarsely in her big kitty form. Miroku stood there watching in silence. Shippo sat at his feet making a small whimpering sound. "The damn kid…" InuYasha stabbed the Tetsusaiga into the ground. "Damn that Naraku…"

Ren grinned. "Well, well. Yumi, since you're leaving, would you like me to tell them, or will you?" Yumi didn't bother to look puzzled or ask. She knew what Ren meant. She knew what secret she had. "I can't…" She looked at her feet then back up at Kagome. A tear fell from the miko's eye. "Yumi?" Yumi took a breath. "I'm…I…I am…not…who you think…I am…you know I'm…"

Yumi's body was still slowly falling apart in sparkles. And she was taking too long to finish one sentence. I am a reincarnation of Naraku…and…y-y-yourself and…"

Kagome shook her head disbelieving. "No you said…" Yumi was in squeaky kid voice mode. "I had no memory and I lied! That's why…" Her voice was so high and whispery. "That's why…"

"She has your scent, your looks, almost your… everything." Ren said stepping in. Kagome glared at her. Ren laughed a little. "Remember that thing Naraku poisoned you with? When that little spider thing hatched?"

Kagome flinched. Ren smiled. "You left some blood behind Kagome. And Naraku so-o-o-o took advantage of that." Leaving the miko in shock, the black mist fell around Ren and she disappeared.

Yumi gasped. She looked like a reflection in a lake. Kagome turned her head towards her. "Yumi?" Yumi shook. "I'm sorry." Kagome softened. "It's…" She couldn't bring herself to say it was okay. Please…it was so dumb anyway. That she could really believe that the girl standing in front of her could've been her child.

So why was she crying so hard?

Yumi patted Kagome's cheek with her pale little hand. "Bye bye." Kagome sniffed. "Bye."

There was a small white light that fell around her adding the sparkliness to the uh, sparkles. And then in seconds, the little girl, Yumi…was gone.
