Disclaimer I don't own Inuyasha

Prolog

They stood there in front of the man who had started all of this the man who killed their loved ones toyed with their hearts but most of all had brought them together. The five of them stood there in front of him, he who had been their enemy for four years. Off to the side laying I a heap was Kagura and Kanna the two incarnations that had given the group so much trouble. But now was time to face the major problem ,Naraku.

He smirked evilly at them then laughed. "Ku ku ku. You shall see the futility of your efforts. This shall be your down fall. Ku ku ku" his laugh sent chills down Kagome's spine.

"feh. Your all talk, delaying your ultimate demise, it's a waist of my time." Inuyasha yelled lifting his tetsusaiga over his head. Channeling all his anguish in to this attack the others doing the same. That is all but Kagome, she had an important job as soon as he was weakened she was to take the Shikon no tama out then shoot a purifying arrow at him finishing the job.

By the time it was her turn everyone was tired bruised and bloody. But the only one who looked on the verge of death was Naraku ,but looks could be deceiving. She walked up and was going to take the shard out of the seemingly dead Naraku. As she reached down to take the jewel Naraku grabbed her arm. She struggled but even in death he had more strength. He smirked and In a raspy voice said. " of I must die than you shall die along with me." he reached into his chest and pulled out the completed jewel and put his hand over her heart the jewel absorbed into her body. Naraku fell limp and died.

Kagome was breathing heavily. She clutched her chest ignoring her friends cries. She suddenly stopped and closed her eyes when she opened them they were crimson red and her pupils were gone. She looked her friends over. Her eyes landed on Inuyasha. There was a voice in her head that seemed to tell her to kill him. So she slowly took a step closer. When she was finally close enough she stabbed her hand through his middle. His eyes widen in pain and realization. She was being controlled by Naraku.

He was now franticly trying to think of a way to get her to purify the jewel. But no such luck. He then thought of an idea. He could tell her his true feelings for her the one that he had been harboring for a little over three months. Yes that was the only way he had to tell her. She was coming again.

When she was close enough he pulled her into an embrace. She struggled against his hold. He spoke softly into her ear. " Kagome I…I love you." at those three little words she seemed to stop.

Thought were passing her head one being Naraku's voice telling her to kill him. She put her hand to her heart and used her powers to purify the jewel. And after a minute she replied " I love you too." and returned the embrace. Inuyasha put his head on top of hers.
