Thank you for all those who reviewed!

A/N Just a note for when Kouga is involved and everything after, in this chapter, Kagome got the information off of Sango, Miroku and Shippo as she was little (ahem) busy while it was going on.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

14 of August

Ever get the feeling that when you have done something right that you're on top of the world? I feel like this right now. Along with feeling unbelievable pain and hurt.

Naraku is dead. Finally after so long, he is finally dead.

I came back from my time after a few hours because Souta was driving me crazy with, "Is Inuyasha coming?" "Why isn't he here?"

So I left and came back to feudal Japan, where I sat for a few hours with everyone (apart from Kikyo and Inuyasha) outside just talking about stuff. Kaede didn't seem too impressed with Inuyasha or her sister, Kikyo. But I don't think that they care about what any of us think. Why am I talking about this! On with the Naraku story.

Sango and I got really bored so we decided to have a little fun. I taught her how to play poker so we played poker for a little while. Can you believe that she won? I mean, I thought that I was good but Sango – but wow!

Anyway, Miroku looked over at us a few times before saying, "Lady Kagome, could I please borrow Sango for a few moments?"

I looked up at him, and Sango looked really dodgy about going with him but I smiled and said, "Sure,"

Sango gave me the death stare, but the thing is we didn't hear any whacks or ouches or screams. Sango came back first with a big grin on her face then Miroku came back, he looked normal so all of us know what they were doing. THEY FINALLY KNOW THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER! YAY!

No more leaching from Miroku! Hip, hip hoorah!

Anyhoo, the wind started to pick up really badly when these huge big demons came down with Kagura. She commanded the demons to pick us all up. Sango tried to attack them with her Hiraikotsu, but she couldn't get it in time. Shippo clung to me. Never in my life had I been so scared, but it was about to get worse. The demons took us to Naraku's castle somewhere. I don't know where it was.

When we got there we were all locked in this big cage. Figures. I mean, can't bad guys ever think of something different other than a cage? I suppose it is feudal Japan.

Anyway we were all in there for like hours when Naraku came in to see us.

"Inuyasha and Kikyo are, we better go greet them, now who shall I take with me?" All the while, I was saying to myself, 'Please not me, please not me, please not me!' but he said, "Inuyasha's human, Kagome, come. You shall be perfect," he told Kagura to get me and she did. Boy for an incarnation did she have a grip. It was like a vice!

She guided me behind Naraku. The whole place was so creepy. Everything was either dark or slimy.

When we arrived at a door, Naraku held out his hand to take me. Kagura gave me to him like I was nothing. He clutched me tighter than Kagura. We walked out a screen door where Inuyasha and Kikyo were standing.

Once Inuyasha saw me he yelled, "Give her back! And where are the others," Kikyo just looked on with some sort of emotion. I don't know what emotion it was.

"The others are fine, tell him Kagome," Naraku said

"There're fine Inuyasha, just go get them, don't worry about me," I was serious. Because what's one life compared to like four lives? Like nothing.

But Inuyasha just got out the Tetsusaiga, Naraku's face changed from smirking to frowning within an instant. So you know what he did. He threw me against the wall. It hurt so badly. I blanked out for a little while. Apparently Inuyasha went berserk and went after Naraku. I woke up just five minutes after Inuyasha and Naraku had left the room. Kagura had left and only Kikyo was in the room with me. She looked at me. There was something in her eyes. I couldn't place my finger on it at the time but I think that there was an evil glint in her eyes that told me that she was going to do something.

"Kagome, all too long have I been denied of a soul, give me your soul, after all you are my reincarnation," She smirked at me. She was going to kill me!

"No!" I yelled

"Come on Kagome, you know that Inuyasha has chosen me over you so what is the point?"

For a while I thought the same thing. What was the point? I mean, my one true love loves someone else and I had pretty much nothing else, but after a while I thought I had plenty to live for.

I jumped up and grabbed my bow and arrow, "You'll have to kill me first!" I yelled at Kikyo

"My pleasure," She shot an arrow at me which cut my arm so I ran for my life not wanting to look back at Kikyo. Who would want to look back at their killer? My scary movie dreams were coming to life!

I didn't know where I was going. Half the time I thought that I was going around in circles, and I'm sure that I was.

I finally ran into the room the Inuyasha and Naraku were fighting in. I let out a breath of relief before running over to everyone, who had escaped when the cage door was ripped off when Inuyasha went flying into it. Shippo was automatically on my shoulder but I said to still with Sango as Kikyo was after me.

Everyone looked really surprised at me, but when Kikyo finally caught up to me and shot another arrow at me they believed me. I explained that she was after my soul so she could live again, but I wasn't about to let her have it. I told Kaede no offence meant or anything, but her sister was crazy! Kaede nodded in agreement.

Kikyo just narrowed her eyes at me before shotting another arrow at me. How many arrows did she have! That was three already, surely she wasn't that bad of a shot? But it didn't matter at the time because all I cared about was getting out of there as fast and as safe as I could.

I decided that it was time to fight back. Everyone else was. Sango was fighting demons with her Hiraikotsu, Miroku with his staff and Kilala was helping as well. Shippo and Kaede were standing back out of harms way.

So I got out my arrow and shot it at Kikyo. I didn't care about the fact that if I killed her Inuyasha was going to hate me for the rest of our lives all I cared about was staying alive. The adrenaline rush was just amazing!

Somehow, as everyone was fighting the Tetsusaiga got knocked out of Inuyasha's hands. That's when the fun really started.

Inuyasha turned to his full blooded demon state. Even Naraku looked surprised when he turned demon.

He sent Kagura out onto the battle field with Kanna. He would do that, he is such a coward! Inuyasha just took one look at Kagura before everyone could see the fear in her eyes. She did one of her attacks, the 'Dance of the dragon' (?). Inuyasha just dodged it. You heard one final scream come from Kagura before Inuyasha sliced her with his clams. Do you know what Naraku did, he just laughed. Laughed! That sick freak!

Kanna tried to suck out his soul, but Inuyasha got her first before she could do anything. But Kanna didn't even look scared. She wasn't even scared of dying, like I was.

Inuyasha turned to Naraku to have a go at him, when something hits my arm. I didn't know what it is until I fall to the ground, clutching my shoulder. It was an arrow. I screamed so loud so that everyone turned and looked. Sango shouted, "NO!" and Shippo did the same thing. Miroku tried to run over to me but the demons he was battling wouldn't let him, as with Sango. Shippo went to come over to me but I shouted to him that he has to stay where he was as I didn't want him to get hurt. Inuyasha just looked at me.

I backed up against the wall as Kikyo came over to me, "Your soul will be mine!" she hissed at me.

Right then I thought I was done for, I silently gave a pray and gave everyone looks that said goodbye, but right as Kikyo was about to shot me with an arrow she stopped and got this look on her face. Like she was in extreme pain! And she was.

Inuyasha had come up behind her and jabbed his claws right through her back! I didn't know what to think. I mean, I was so shocked because, Inuyasha had just killed Kikyo, his love. But he didn't even seem to care.

In fact I thought that I heard him say, "You willnot hurtKagome!" but I'm sure that I'm just hearing things, because of blood loss and seeing blood go everywhere.

Kikyo looked so shocked, "We were supposed to go to the afterlife together Inuyasha," she whispered before lying on the ground. Kikyo is dead!

During this time of shock, Miroku had gotten Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga and passed it to him. Inuyasha's eyes, face and claws turned back to normal. When he saw Kikyo he didn't look confused or anything, he just looked at me sadly, which is when I realised that Inuyasha had known what he had been doing when he killed Kikyo. This made me kind of sad. Inuyasha killed the person her loved for me.

Naraku narrowed his eyes at us all before saying, "I will destroy you no matter what," yeah right, Naraku your best fighter were just killed by Inuyasha.

So anyway, Inuyasha and Naraku got into this big fight. Inuyasha even put away his Tetsusaiga thus he could fight with his bear hands! Sigh!

There was blood flying everywhere! In the end Naraku got sick of fighting with Inuyasha so he created a big ball of energy to kill Inuyasha, but Inuyasha had a trick up his sleeve; the Tetsusaiga's Backlash Wave!

But before Inuyasha could do it Naraku sent one flying at me. I went flying once again, but this time I landed on something soft: Miroku. I can't say that it was pixie being hit by it. It caned for all it was worth. I remember thinking that Inuyasha felt more pain then this every time he was hit by something like an energy ball.

The backlash wave injured Naraku but it didn't kill him. Inuyasha was so surprised when Naraku got up after the Backlash wave, so Naraku used his powers to send Inuyasha flying to the wall.

By that time I was crawling to my bow and arrow trying to reach them, but I got to Kikyo's bow and arrow set first. So I grabbed them instead.

Just as Naraku lifted his hand with to kill Inuyasha, I lifted the bow and arrow up and shot it at Naraku.

It pierced him through the heart causing him to scream in pain, which gave me great satisfaction because of all the pain he had caused to so many people. Naraku was blown into thousands and thousands of little bits.

After that I dropped the bow and arrow onto the ground and smiled, "I guess we won," then I dropped to the ground and DIED! That's right no spelling mistakes: I died! After I was told I so freaked out!

(This where I got all the information off of everyone)

Anyway, apparently everyone came running over to me to see if I was okay. Sango said that Inuyasha was really worried about me, and when Kaede announced that I was dead, he turned away and Sango said that he was crying. But Inuyasha never cries!

About five minutes after I was announced dead, Kohaku came into the room screaming out Sango's name! He passed over the jewel shard that was once in his back and said that it came out when Naraku died.

That's when Miroku remember his wind tunnel in his hand. He pulled off the protection cover off his hand and his wind tunnel was gone! Miroku said that he had been so relieved.

Only Inuyasha wasn't celebrating. He was too busy doing something else. He had gone over to where Naraku had died and there was theShikon no Tama sitting there in all it's glory.

Inuyasha placed Kohaku's piece in there so it was almost complete. All we needed now were Kouga's pieces.

Once Miroku saw the he suddenly had a brilliant idea (for once) to complete the jewel and wish that I was alive again! He is the best!

Inuyasha looked up at him with a small smile playing on his face, "We need to go see Kouga first, but I'm not talking to him, Sango you can," Sango just nodded. Sango said that she only did it because if Inuyasha did it, he would have started crying again from the sadness and she wanted to make sure that he still had some pride left.

So with Miroku holding onto theShikon no Tama and Inuyasha holding onto me, everyone (including Kaede and Kohaku) hopped onto Kilala and went to see Kouga.

When Sango went to see him, she said that she was shaking because she was unsure of Kouga's reaction to my death was going to be. She wasn't scared of him or anything, just a little nervous that he would blame it on Inuyasha and steal my body and try to do something with it. Do what she didn't say. Thank god.

As she walked up, all the wolf demons came out because they could smell the blood on Sango's body. She asked if Kouga was there, but they said that he wasn't, he was out hunting. Sango said that she would wait as she had some important news to tell him. Sango waited half an hour for Kouga to come back. When he arrived he said, "Ahhh, Kagome's friend, where is she?" he looked pleased with himself.

Sango said that her eyes were filling up with tears by that time, "Kouga we have come to ask for the jewel shards in your legs,"

Kouga stepped back, "No,"

"Please," Sango said, she actually got down on hands and knees and begged him "Please you must,"

"Why!" Kouga asked, Sango said you could tell he was getting angry.

"Kouga, we need them for Kagome," Sango had whispered

The colour from Kouga's face drained, "What happened to her?"

By this time, Sango was sobbing, "She dead Kouga!Kaagome's dead!"

Kouga almost fell to the ground with shock, "She can't be, I only spoke to her yesterday,"

This time Sango had gotten sick of trying to tell him, "Come have a look Kouga, she's only a little bit away,"

So Kouga followed Sango to where I was lying at the time. Just dead.

Kouga, then, bent down to my body and started saying stuff in demon that no one could understand, expect Inuyasha, but he wasn't there at the time so no one could understand him.

When Inuyasha came back from whatever he was doing, he saw Kouga over my body and shouted at him to get away from my body.

Which caused Kouga to jump up, "This is all your fault mutt face! It's your fault she's dead. If I had been around she wouldn't have died!"

To this, Shippo said, Inuyasha looked shocked. I don't think that he had thought of it that way. But besides it's not his fault that I died, more like Naraku's.

"It is not!" Inuyasha shouted. Everyone agreed that they could see little tears forming around his eyes.

"It was too, you should have protected her!"

Sango stepped in here.

"It wasn't Inuyasha's fault, it was Naraku's. Naraku killed her, well wounded her, but it doesn't matter, just give us the shards Kouga!"

Kouga just bent down and plucked them from his legs before handing them over to Sango who held onto the jewel shard, "Kouga, we're going to take Kagome back to Kaede's village now, Kaede will know what to do," Sango said, looking at Kaede for help.

Kaede caught on andnodded in agreement, "Yes,"

"Fine, but do anything wrong with my Kagome and you will pay," Kouga said backing off so he could go back to his cave thingy-ma-bob.

After getting back to Kaede's village, they laid me down on a mattress and put theShikon no Tama back together.

They then gave it back to Kaede who said, "Oh greatShikon no Tama please grant our wish. Bring Lady Kagome back to life!" The jewel then started glowing but nothing happened to me. After the glowing stopped, theShikon no Tama became normal and dull.

Everyone looked really disappointed about it, but Kaede said to leave it for a day as theShikon no Tama needed time to work its magic.

Sango said the whole time they were waiting Inuyasha sat inside of the hut with me just talking.

The funny thing is, when Inuyasha was talking to me, I could hear his voice. Not really, you know, hear what he was saying, but just his voice.

When I woke up all I could see was black, just nothingness. So I screamed, and everybody came running to the hut I was in at the time.

As soon as the light flashed in my eyes I screamed again because it hurt really badly. It felt like I had woken up from a deep sleep. Everything was muffled at first then sounds and sights became clearer and clearer. And as my senses were staring to kick in, so did the pain. Iwould have doubled over in pain if I had been standing up.

Everyone was so happy that I was alive again. I didn't believe them when they said I had died. I said that they could get stuffed and that I had only been sleeping for a long time.

They all laughed at me and said that I had killed Naraku with my arrow and all the memories of the pervious hours came flooding back to me. I groaned and fall back onto the pillow, where I started to go back into sleep again. The last face I saw was Inuyasha's.

So it took me the next two days to get the energy to write in you about all that had happened and it'll be another few days before I'm going back to my era. I mean, I've got all these cuts and bruises all over me from Naraku throwing me into walls and where Kikyo piercing my shoulder with her arrow.

Well I need to go now; Sango is taking me to the hot springs to tell me something important. One guess what that is.

Anyway, see ya!

Love Kagome

I hope that wasn't too confusing, but as I explained at the top, Kagome got all that information when she was well enough to know about everything.

Thank you,
