.../...CHAPTER.23...


Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them

Sometimes I wonder why this is happening

It's like nothing I can do would distract me when

I think of how I shot myself in the back again

'Cause from the infinite words I could say I

Put all pain you gave to me on display

But didn't realize instead of setting it free I

Took what I hated and made it a part of me

Ch.23 Final Decision

RECAP.

Sango, Miroku, Rin, and Shippo had been driving around for a while trying to figure out where Inuyasha and Kagome had gotten to. They all had a bad feeling about them. They had just left from leaving Katsuki at home.

"Ok so they weren't at the hotel...let's try Inuyasha's house." Sango suggested.

"Ya, the only thing is she said she had to take care of something. What would she be doing at Inuyasha's house?" Miroku asked her.

"Maybe everything is ok and they just had a big fight." Rin said trying to convince herself the same thing.

"Ya and maybe Inuyasha has decided to fix world hunger." Shippo sighed.

"I'm only trying to think positively here. It wouldn't help if you guys could try the same thing. I don't want anything bad happening to them." Rin said as she crossed her arms and sat back in her seat.

"Sorry Rin...I just have a very bad feeling in the pit of my stomach." Shippo apologized.

"Ya same here...I don't like it. If they end up in the hospital again I swear i'll kill Naraku myself." Sango muttered.

"Do you think that...maybe just in case...that we should get weapons for ourselves. I mean we did promise we would be there for them if Inuyasha showed up. I don't know about you guys but i'm not going to let Inuyasha handle that on his own." Miroku told them. Sango nodded with a sigh before turning the car around.

"Ya your right. See Rin...I told you, you should have bought a sword." Sango smirked trying to lighten the mood.

"Well excuse me. I didn't know there were worse things then those evil squirrels." Rin sighed.

"Uhh...riiight..." Shippo said looking at Rin oddly.


Inuyasha jumped back stumbled back when Naraku made a swing toward him letting the blade of the sword hit the ground.

"What the hell!" Inuyasha asked when five surges of power shot out of the sword. Naraku had dodged the attack just in time before he got hit by one of the streaks of power. Kagome was shocked once again and Sesshomaru was to busy fighting Kagura to explain the attack of the sword. Inuyasha starred at the blade as if he had never seen it before. "What was that?" Inuyasha asked quietly.

END.RECAP.

"It's the wind scar! Use it!" Sesshomaru yelled at him as he bent over and untied Kagome while Kagura got up from being shoved against a tree.

"Wind Scar?...I don't even know how I used it the first time!" Inuyasha yelled as Naraku came at him again. The moment Kagome got loose she ran to the shed in the yard.

"Stupid mutt, i'll take Kagome and then you'll be miserable without the one you love and i'll be satisfied." Naraku smirked as he blocked Inuyasha's attack.

Koga sped down the road and parked on the side of the street before he ran out and ran to the backyard where everything was taking place.

"Inuyasha!" Koga yelled then looked over to see Sesshomaru and Kagome.

"You know, at first all I wanted was to see you rot in jail for hurting Kagome the first time. You have no idea how much that pissed me off. To see her like that was killing me itself, that's when I knew I had to do whatever it took to get you in jail and that came easily. Now here you are again, and after Kagome. This time I won't be happy to see you rot in jail cause apparently you can't be held in a jail cell. No this time I won't be happy till I see you dead!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran after Naraku and slammed the blade against the ground with his rage apparent and watched the five streaks spread out of the sword and head for him.

"Holy Shit..." Koga said as he watched.

"I will not let the same thing happen again. I promised her I wouldn't and I know i've broken a couple of promises before but not this time." He said as he slammed the blade down to the ground again and watched five more streaks trail out of the blade and go for Naraku, unfortunately Naraku jumped out of the way.

"My my my, so this is what I have to do to get a good fight out of you." Naraku smirked.

"You wanted this fight and now your going to get one hell of one." Inuyasha muttered but was surprised when he saw an arrow hit Naraku in the arm.

"Damn wench!" Naraku yelled as he pulled the arrow out and look behind him over at the shed to see Kagome standing there with a bow in her hands and another arrow ready to shoot.

"Your fights with me! Isn't that what you told me before? Now pay attention!" Inuyasha yelled and ran closer before slaming the blade against the ground once again.

"As entertaining as this has been, I want your rage to build more and the only way to do that is to take the one thing you love away from you. Come and find me and we'll finish this fight." Naraku said as a purple smoke filled the air.

"No! Put me down!" Kagome's voice was heard.

"Kagome! Naraku you fucking bastard!" Inuyasha yelled as he covered his nose with his arm.

"You stupid wolf!" Naraku yelled when he got attacked.

"Fuck!" Koga yelled when he got pushed back into a tree with a knife in his side.

"Koga!" Kagome yelled when she saw this happen before she was thrown into Kagura who glarred at Naraku before walking over to the front of the house and an engine of a car was heard before it sped off.

"Dammit!" Inuyasha yelled as the smoke dissapeared and Kagome was gone. He looked over at Koga who slowly stood and pulled the knife out of his side. "You ok?"

"Oh just dandy." Koga mumbled.

"Where is Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked, ignoring Koga's remark. He turned around when he heard a car speed off. "Damn him. He left without us...come on Koga."

"What! We need some kind of plan or do you WANT me to get stabbed again?" Koga asked.

"The plan is either leave now and follow Sesshomaru together or I go by myself cause i'm not about to break a promise to Kagome again." Inuyasha told him impatiently.

"I know you wont but what do you plan we do? Run in blindly and get ourselves killed!" Koga asked. Inuyasha sighed and crossed his arms. "Let's get some weapons before we do that." Koga smirked. Inuyasha looked up at him with a smirk and nodded as they ran into the house to get all the weapons.


"Why do you bother! You know they'll come and find me and then you'll probably get put back in jail! That's if they spare you." Kagome said, glarring at him the whole time.

"You keep believing that sweetheart. Inuyasha will be to worried about saving you and he'll go through anything to get you back, he's going to wear himself down so quickly and then it'll be if 'I' decide to spare him." Naraku explained to her and lifted her chin to look at him but she turned away. She sat in a chair with both her legs and arms tied to it, she had slowly been reaching into her pocket, bringing it behind her back.

"What do you plan to do with me if let's say you actually do beat Inuyasha...as if but i'm just curious." Kagome told him.

"Onigumo will finally be off my back cause he'll have you and then he'll be killed for all this he put me through and so will you darling." Naraku smirked.

"Why not just kill me? It would save everyone so much trouble." Kagome muttered.

"I actually thought about that...but what would be the fun in that? I was looking forward to seeing the puppy again." He said and walked toward the door. Kagome went to her phone book and went down the names by three and clicked talk then pressed the earpiece to her back so Naraku wouldn't hear it. "You know...your pretty cute...I might just keep you for myself." He smirked and got a glare in return.

"I wouldn't ever go near you, like I said before...I'd rather die." She told him but froze when the hello on the cell phone was louder then she thought.

"No...you'd be mine." He said as he walked over to her. "After I teach you whats right and wrong that is." He told her as he slapped her across the face and pulled the cell phone from her. She shut her eyes tightly from stinging feeling in her cheeks.

"Kagome?" A guys voice asked over the phone before Naraku hung it up.

"Learn your place woman." Naraku muttered.

"You sound like Sesshomaru when he's fighting." Kagome said simply but got another slap to her face. "Ah!"

"Don't you dare compare me to those dogs!" Naraku yelled before storming out of the room. Kagome looked up with a glare to the door.

"This is going to be another one of those days i'm guessing." She sighed as her face softened. "Inuyasha hurry please."


"Hello?" Inuyasha answered his cell phone as they stood outside Kagome's house.

"Inuyasha...where is Kagome?" Bankotsu asked.

"...Naraku has her. He's out of prison. But i'm getting her back." Inuyasha told him.

"I think she just called me but...then Naraku found out and yelled at her then hit her before he hung up the phone." Bankotsu explained earning a growl from Inuyasha.

"That bastard's going to pay." Inuyasha growled.

"I want to help." Bankotsu said simply.

"No! This is my fight." Inuyasha told him.

"If you have some people help then they can take care of the gang while you go after Naraku, besides we know the gang better then you do." Bankotsu told him. Inuyasha stayed quiet for a moment as he thought about it. He looked up at Koga who was standing there waiting so they could go.

"...ok. But i'm the one who will kill Naraku!" Inuyasha clarified.

"You got it, now do you know where Naraku is?" Bankotsu asked. Inuyasha sighed but then looked up when a car pulled over by the street.

"I do now. Do what you have to do and i'll call you later when I find out where exactly it is." Inuyasha said as he hung up as he walked over to the car. "I thought you ditched us." Inuyasha muttered.

"Just get in. I know where Naraku is." Sesshomaru told him.

"Great, beats searching." Koga said as he got into the car.

"Call Bankotsu and tell him." Inuyasha told him.

"Fine just get in so we can go." Sesshomaru told him as he brought out his cell phone while Inuyasha got into the car.


"This is all my fault...I have to take care of this on my own." Kagome sighed as she scooted the chair back next to the table and pulled her hand out of the loosened rope and grabbed the knife and started cutting the rope off of her. "Inuyasha I love you and i'm not going to let you get hurt again for something that is my fault. I know you promised me you'd help me but i'm not going to let you." She said to herself as a few tears fell from her eyes and let herself drop to her knees while holding onto the table. She knew what she felt was what she needed to do for herself but she also knew the consequences and it was taking her a while to get over the chance of never seeing Inuyasha again.

"If I don't do this...Inuyasha could die fighting Naraku. He's not going to fight fairly..." She said to herself.

'"This is going no where fast." Kagura said sheepishly as she pulled out a gun. Kagome's eyes widened when she saw it and started to struggle.

"No!" She yelled as she tried to get her to drop the gun as she pushed her back.

"Stupid wench, stop moving or i'll kill you too." Kagura threatened and pushed her down to the floor. Before Kagome had a chance to get up she had heard gun shots being fired. '

"That wasn't just a dream...it was like the other dreams I had..." She confirmed. "It's going to come true...but i'm going to stop it. I won't let it. Inuyasha is not going to take the fall for me this time. I have to take care of myself without getting everyone involved, no one will get hurt for me this time."

'"AH! No! You fucking bitch!" Kagome yelled as Kagura picked up the gun. Kagura smirked at her as Kagome held her arm where she was bleeding and then turned her attention back to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as Kagura took a few shots at Inuyasha.'

"Naraku your not going to hurt Inuyasha." She said as she finally stood and started grabbing knives and guns left by the gang members while thinking how stupid they were for leaving it but thankful also.

'"It's ok Kagome. It was just a dream. I'm not going anywhere." He said before he left a kiss on her forehead. She nodded with a sigh and looked up at him.

"Good." She smiled before kissing him lightly on the lips.

"Go to sleep." He told her. She nodded and closed her eyes, she felt safer knowing he was right there and she also knew he was ok with him being near her.'

"Your right Inuyasha, and i'll make sure of it." She said as more tears fell as she continued what she was doing. "Inuyasha knew...when we were talking about him going to talk to Kagura..."

'"Your staying at my house." He ordered her.

"You can't tell me what to do." She told him.

"Kagome...i'm going on my own." He told her.

"Why are you so persistant about going by yourself?" She asked him curiously.

"I don't want him to be able to find you." He told her."Please Kagome?" He asked as he began to lean down to her. She put her hand in front of his mouth before he could get close.

"Don't kiss me right now." She told him and turned around and walked to class. She knew he was hiding something.

"Kagome." He called to her as she walked off. Shr shook her head and kept walking. He sighed before walking to his class also which was gym.'

"...he knew...he was trying to protect me, you don't understand Inuyasha...I was trying to protect you cause I knew more then you...I saw what Kagura was up to...even if it was a dream. Your not in this battle. You may thing you are, but your not. You can't protect me forever from Naraku and whatever happens after this...then somehow it will be settled that you will never have to keep Naraku away from me." She nodded.

'"Inuyasha had said that he thinks Kagura is up to something and he gets the feeling you know somehow. Then Miroku said you were probably just trying not to worry Inuyasha and Shippo agreed with that." Rin told her.

"They need to stay in their own business." Kagome muttered.'

"You can tell when I know something...or when i'm not feeling well. You've been there for me for a long time...and i've never paid you back. It's by time I do."

'"Kagome will you fucking stop? I wont tell you cause i'm protecting you. I don't know why your hiding anything from me, at least i'm hiding whatever i'm hiding from you to keep you safe." He said irritatedly.

"Does this include feeling safe to?" She asked.

"What the hell do you think! Of course it does! I was trying to keep you safe so you wouldn't have to worry!" He told her.

"Well how the fuck does that make me feel safe? Huh! So staying in a house all day while you go visit Kagura should make me feel safe! Knowing that something could happen to you since Kagura is probably working with Naraku!" She yelled and pushed him back against the wall. "You fucking idiot! I don't feel safe cause i'm to worried if something is going to happen to you! Don't you understand you dumbass!"

"Nothing would happen to me! Where did you get the idea that Kagura was working with Naraku!" He demanded.

"Why the fuck do you care?" She asked him and crossed her arms.

"How the hell did you come up with that?" He asked again.

"Like it matters to you but I went by the hotel and I could sense the bad aura. Now you know so stop fucking telling me what to do! I'll do whatever I wan-..." She started but was stopped once again when Inuyasha pushed her against the other wall across from him.

"I thought I told you not to leave the house?" He growled out.

"So I didn't exactly listen to you, what are you going to do about it?" She glarred at him.

"Kagome...your making it very hard to make sure your safe." Inuyasha told her softly.

"Well maybe you should just stop trying to keep me safe if it bothers you so much." Kagome told him.

"I can't do that..." He told her.

"Why not?" She asked.

"You want to know? You really want to know?" He asked angrily.

"Yes...I want to know. Tell me why you have to stay in my business." She said and crossed her arms and looked at him while waiting for his answer.

"It's because of you bitch. If there's any chance your in trouble then i'm way to worried about you to do anything else." He growled out before grabbing his backpack and began walking off down the hall.'

"Your an idiot Inuyasha...why can't you just stop trying to protect me? You have no idea what i'd do if I lost you." She said and then felt the shikon jewel around her neck get warm as it shined a pinkish light. "The Shikon Jewel? I know how to keep them out of this." Kagome said as she wrapped her hand over the jewel and closed her eyes as she concentrated as hard as she could. She knew her powers weren't that strong so she could just borrow the powers of the jewel for what she wanted to do. After a few minutes passed she could feel it worked by the pure aura that she could sense around the place she was at. She knew Naraku would feel it soon enough so that only meant she needed to hurry and get ready faster.

'"Kagome...i'm not going anywhere. I promised i'd be here for you...and i'm not going anywhere...not without you!" He yelled through gritted teeth.'

"Well you have to...at least this time." She sighed.


"I have a feeling we'll be seeing those two there since they know where Naraku is too." Miroku said to Shippo after leaving the girls at Sango's house.

"Ya...they want to help too now that they know Kagome was taken again." Shippo sighed. "How do you think Inuyasha's holding up?"

"I don't think he's even doing that. He probably wants to get Naraku more then anything now and he wont let anyone stand in his way...the only thing is...if Inuyasha can handle him on his own." Miroku sighed.

"Ya, he acts tough but we don't know how strong Naraku really is." Shippo agreed.

"Inuyasha doesn't even think about what Naraku might do to Kagome either, he just thinks about getting her out of there." Miroku shook his head.

"We just have to believe in Inuyasha and make sure he's doing the right thing." Shippo nodded. Miroku sighed once again then nodded in agreement.

SANGO.AND.RIN.

"Like we're staying here, I'm not letting Kagome stay out there with Naraku by herself and just do nothing about it, that's not going well with me." Sango ranted on as her and Rin got in her car after gathering all the weapons she could find.

"Ok Sango, let's just go." Rin told her and Sango gave her a quick glare before speeding out of the driveway.

WITH.INUYASHA.

"How far are they?" Inuyasha asked as they sat in the car while Sesshomaru pumped gas into the car.

"I don't want to be stranded there when we have to make our get-away. My tank is empty, just be patient." Sesshomaru told him.

"This is fucking unbelievable." Inuyasha complained as he sat back with his arms crossed in the passenger's seat.

"Calm down, we'll be there soon and then Naraku will get the ass kicking of his life." Koga assured him.

"You got that right." Inuyasha agreed with a nod.

"Do you even have a plan or are you going to just barge in and get yourself killed?" Sesshomaru asked as he got in the car.

"Barge in and try not to get myself while trying to kill Naraku in the process." Inuyasha said simply.

"Nice." Koga sighed.

"Ya ya ya, well do you have something better in mind?" Inuyasha asked.

"No but you should think about it first, if you have these people helping then take up on their offers and have them do certain things. Like Bankotsu could sneak in since he knows his way around and then let you in without anyone noticing and then Koga could walk in and act as bait since they've been looking for him." Sesshomaru explained.

"Bait huh?" Koga rolled his eyes.

"Diversion, whatever." Sesshomaru muttered.

"Ya I guess." Inuyasha sighed with a nod before he started making a few phone calls.

KAGOME.

'"I promised I would always protect you...this also has something to do with me having to find out...so i'm sorry for not telling you sooner, I broke my promise but I want to protect you."'

"Dammit, why do I have to keep thinking of this now? It's only making this harder." Kagome said as she took in a deep breath not being able to get Inuyasha's voice out of her head.

'"It's funny, all these years you were my knight who always came to save me."' She remembered herself telling Inuyasha.

'"Ya, well I promised I would be there for you. And i'm not quitting now, no matter what."' He responded to her that same night.

'"I can and I will...he can't have you. Your right you and me do know how he is, so you should know that you can't get away from him by yourself."'

"I'm sorry Inuyasha...I have to at least try." She apologized as a tear rolled down her cheek.

'"I told you that i'm going to protect you and you can't do anything to change my mind."

"That's why I have to do this..." She sighed.

"Now if you don't let me help you, then i'll have to do something about it by myself."

"Cause you can't do anything about it...I don't want you to." Kagome nodded and wiped her tear away as she continued walking down the hallway.

"I promise, I will be here for you forever."

"Oh Inuyasha." She said and had to stop once again and knealed down to the floor.

'"Ok, well when we decided to be best friends forever at the park. I remember we were sitting on the park bench and I asked if we would be friends forever, we were in third grade and had been friends for three years at that time and we were always together and you said sure that we'd be best friends forever. Well that night when I went home, when your mom dropped me off and I got to my room I turned the radio on and that song was on and I just lied on my bed listening to it thinking about our conversation we had about being friends forever...best friends forever and I thought that song fit us. We are always there for each other and every time I heard that song after that I thought of us and how we would always be best friends forever"' She laughed a bit, remembering when she said that to him.

'"You are my one and only angel."' She felt her lips in memory of that day since it was the first time he had ever kissed her then Naraku came in and ruined everything which built her rage more and stood up once again.

'"Hey Kaggs! Why are you crying?" A nine year old boy chased after the girl.

"I'm not crying!" Kagome yelled.

"Kag, I know you are...what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Inuyasha...how can you even tell?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Probably the tears in your eyes stupid. Now tell me what's wrong." Inuyasha told her and reached for her hand.

"Your right...i'm stupid." She sighed as she looked down at the ground.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"Some kids think i'm dumb cause I don't want to play with the girls that much." She sighed.

"Forget about them, their the stupid ones. They're just mad they don't have you as a friend. If they bother you then i'll protect you." Inuyasha shrugged. "Just don't cry, you should know by now that i'm always going to protect you." Kagome looked up at him and smiled.

"Your always nice to me when I cry." Kagome giggled making the young boy blush. "Your cute when your nice." She smiled before she turned and started walking without him.

"Hey you stupid girl! You could wait for me! And don't call me cute! I'm not cute! I'm cool!" Inuyasha told her before the little girl started laughing.

"Ok Inuyasha, your so cool." Kagome laughed but was surprised when Inuyasha hugged her.

"I'll always protect you, your my best friend." He nodded before he started running. "Last one to the house is a rotten egg!" He yelled. Kagome laughed before she started running after him.' That was the first time Inuyasha had promised to protect her 'always' and it was starting to bother her how these memories wouldn't go away so she could get done what she needed to do.

'We were so young, it was easier then to just make those kind of promises but now it's just...not that easy Inuyasha. I love you, I really do. I just don't want nothing happening to you because of me anymore.' She thought.

'"Kagome...I love you."' Was the one memory that kept replaying her head as she threw the door open to where Naraku was.

WITH.INUYASHA.

"Everyone has something to do now let's go." Inuyasha said as they walked up to the building.

"Wait...do you feel that?" Miroku asked.

"Feel what?...wait...I think I know what you mean." Koga said. Inuyasha paid no mind to it as he continued to walk up to the building but was thrown back when he touched the door knob.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku asked in surprise.

"Dammit Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled when he figured out what was going on.

"Kagome?" Koga asked.

"That's Kagome's aura, no mistaking it. She doesn't want us to interfere." Inuyasha growled.

"What now then?" Miroku asked.

"We find a way in, i'm not letting her do this by herself. She wants to keep us safe but by doing so she is risking her own life." Inuyasha said as he pulled his sword out of it's sheath.

WITH.SESSHOMARU.

"There's a pure aura present...there's a barrier up around this place." Bankotsu said as he crossed his arms.

"And she probably did it to keep you guys safe." Sango said as she walked over with Rin.

"What are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Kagome's our friend. We're going to help whether you guys like it or not." Rin told him.

"Well there's still the matter of getting inside." Bankostu sighed.

"Want me to try burning down the barrier?" Renkotsu asked.

"No that wouldn't do anything to it." Jakotsu sighed also.

"Who are you guys?" Sango asked curiously.

"These are my old gang friends. They owed me a favor so they came to help, the rest of them are somewhere else." Bankotsu explained.

"So what now?" Suikotsu asked.

"We wait." Sesshomaru said simply.

"Wait? For what?" Bankotsu asked.

"Inuyasha...he has the power to destroy this barrier with the power of his sword. Only question is if he'll be able to figure it out, I think his rage will bring him to it and we just hope he'll bring out the power." Sesshomaru explained.

"Wait? While who knows what could be happening to Kagome in there!" Sango demanded.

"We all want to go in there and help Kagome but Sesshomaru is right Sango." Bankotsu told her.

WITH.SHIPPO.

"Sesshomaru told me about that sword and only way we can get in since this barrier is up is if Inuyasha can defeat it somehow. I hate having to wait but we have no choice." Shippo explained.

"There's no way we can break it down?" Ginkotsu asked.

"I doubt it." Ayame sighed.

"Does Koga know your here?" Shippo asked curiously.

"Don't think so, don't tell him." She ordered.

"Sure thing." Shippo nodded.

KAGOME'S.FAMILY.

"Mom?...Do you think Kagome's going to be ok?" Sota asked as he looked out the window.

"Kagome knows what is right and she's going to do what she wants. I know Inuyasha wont let anything happen to her. Kagome doesn't like Naraku and she's going to try her best to stay away from him." Ms. Higurashi explained.

"That boy is nothing but trouble, look at what he's caused." Kagome's grandpa complained.

"No...he hasn't cause any trouble...he's only helped Kagome this whole time. He's the one we should be thanking that she made it home safely the last time. We just have to pray for both their safe returns this time." Ms. Higurashi sighed hating the feeling that she couldn't do anything while her daughter could be anywhere at the moment.

"Mom...how do you know she'll be ok?" Sota asked as he went over to her and sat next to her. Ms. Higurashi smiled and pushed his hair out of his face as she looked down at him.

"Because sweety...Inuyasha won't let her get hurt...he loves her to much." She smiled at her son finally being able to admit that her daughter was in love with the young hanyou she had known so long. 'Inuyasha, you better bring my daughter back home safely. I trust you so just be careful.' Ms. Higurashi thought.


'"It's my turn to speak this time...Inuyasha...for a while i've been trying to figure why I have been feeling so different about you. While you were staying at my house I figured it out. I was falling in love with you...I have been feeling this way for a while now and then finally after you said all that stuff, and then you told me it was my choice was when it hit me, i'm not falling in love with you...I'm in love with you."' She remembered as she threw the door open and Naraku looked over at her.

"Thought you'd get smart huh?" He asked.

"Ya I did actually." Kagome smirked.

"You sure have been hanging out with that mutt a long time, your starting to sound like him." Naraku frowned.

"Your not going to hurt them, I won't let you. This is my battle, you have to fight me." Kagome confirmed.

"Oh really?"

"Yes, whether you like it or not." Kagome told him.

"I don't think Inuyasha would like that very much." Naraku smirked.

"Oh well, this is my fight. I'm not letting anyone get hurt for me." Kagome explained to him.

"You think it's that easy? What if you lose? If you fight me then you could die." Naraku told her.

"I'm actually willing to take that chance." Kagome nodded.

"What about Inuyasha? He'd be crushed if he lost you."

"At least he'd be alive." Kagome said quietly.

"This should be interesting." Naraku chuckled lowly.

"Naraku, I want to make this clear that I have no intention on backing down. Don't think i'll be afraid if I get injured. I'm going all the way with this, it's either that or nothing don't you think?" Kagome smirked as she held a sword.

"I agree quite highly, I like your attitude towards this. No fear at all?" He asked.

"Of course i'm somewhat scared but not for the reason you think. Only thing i'm scared about is you killing me then the other's would have to fight you and risk their lives." Kagome told him.

"Very good." Naraku nodded. "I thought Inuyasha wanted you to stay away though so he could protect you?" Naraku asked with a smirk.

"Ya well it's my turn." Kagome said simply. "This fight is you and me, one on one. No cheating with your dumb gang or anything." She told him.

"Deal." He smirked. "By the way, if I kill you then I have no need to fight the others so you shouldn't worry to much but since you desire to fight me i'll grant your wish." Naraku assured her.

"No cause if I die they will come after you and want to fight you." Kagome corrected him.

"So wouldn't this be meaningless then?" He asked with a questioning gaze.

"No...i'm doing this for me." She told him.

'"If I ever break my promise to her again it better be because i'm dying. I'm never letting her down ever again." ..."Kagome, i'm not leaving. Even if that dream of yours were to come true then we can change it. I'm not leaving you."..."Kagome...I love you."'

Final Thought from Kagome:

I'm sorry Inuyasha but i'm not letting you risk your life for me again...I can't. I don't want that to happen to you, not because of me...not again. I'm going to try my best to end this here and now. Just stay away for a while longer...I don't want you hurt...I love you.
