Kagome looked over at where Naraku was. He had been tackled to the ground...by someone with black hair. Her first thoughts were that it was the new moon, the day Inuyasha turned human. But...it wasn't. Not unless she had been out for...weeks. What was going on?

That's when she felt it. She sensed that it was definately NOT Inuyasha. Inuyasha made her feel calm, but this was...

Naraku seemed to overpower the one on him and threw them across the room. Kagome looked up. It was...Kagura? Kagura growled. Kagome looked over to see Naraku. He saw the one who attacked him, and smirked.

"Kagura, you dare attack me?" he said, that creepy smile stuck on his face. She growled again. He flung himself at her, ready to take her down. He was about the grab her throat, when...CLUNK!

Naraku fell, after having a large rock thrown at his head. He fell over, and before he could see who it was, Inuyasha stood before him. "YOU!" Naraku yelled out.

"Who were you expecting?" he asked. "Some other half-demon coming to tear you apart?" He smirked and pulled out the Tetseiga. "Today is the day we rid this world of you, Naraku."

Kagome smiled triumphantly when she saw Inuyasha. However, something moving around by her ear called to her attention to. "Myouga?" she asked, completely confused. "You're here?" she asked, amazed he would brave...well, anything actually.

"Of course I am." he answered her, as if he would never run away from anything. Kagome could hardly hold back a scoff. He stared at her angrily. He tried to look dignified once again, which he failed at miserably, looking like a overblown balloon on a stick. "I am here because Naraku is to be destroyed today."

Kagome smiled. "Inuyasha forced you, huh?" she asked.

Myouga simply looked away in response. He began busying himself with the chains, trying to get her down. Meanwhile, she looked back to Inuyasha, adoration in her eyes.

Inuyasha growled and chraged for Naraku. However, he nimbly slipped out of the way. Inuyasha growled again and lunged, this time catching him in the shoulder, causing some blood to pour out. Naraku looked at the blood and his eyes narrowed on Inuyasha.

Kagome noticed Naraku seemed to have a few places in his body were his jewel shards were concentrated. In his chest there was at least fifteen, in his left leg there was about eight, and in his right arm there was ten. She was about to tell Inuyasha, but something covered her mouth. A gross, repulsive, white, furry hand stopped her speaking.

Inuyasha noticed Naraku covering Kagome's mouth. He growled agrily and jumped over, ounding both his fists into the crown of Naraku's head. Naraku fell to the floor before he stood once more, standing a little wobbly. "Don't ever touch her!" Inuyasha yelled at the figure before him. He was almost sure he saw Naraku smirk.

Kagome now tried to tell Inuyasha where the jewel shards were, but no sound came from her mouth. She tried again, but it only resulted in a choking sound. She gasped; her air was not coming in properly. She would be okay to breathe for at least a little while, but it was impossible for her to speak.

Inuyasha looked back at her. What was wrong with her? He growled at Naraku. "What did you do!" he yelled. Without waiting for an answer, he tried to slash Naraku across the chest. Naraku dodged and Inuyasha missed his chest, but he did manage to cut up his arm fairly badly. Inuyasha took this time to look quickly at Kagome, a look of concern passing over his face.

Kagome felt helpless. Here she was, having Myouga, of all people...er...fleas, untying her, while she was stopped from doing the one thing she could do to help! She felt like screaming until she felt the ropes fall off her. She smiled. Now she could help! But...how?

She looked at Inuyasha just in time to see Naraku dodge another shot of Inuyasha's and punch him in the face. It was odd to think about, but she had hardly ever seen Naraku puch anyone...if ever. She gasped and ran over to Inuyasha, yelling his name. Well, at least, trying to yell. Inuyasha saw her running toward him and he punched Naraku in the face before jumping quickly over to Kagome and moving her further away from Naraku. What could she do?

Author's note: DUN DUN DUN! Um...yeah. Sorry it took so long. But I've decided to make sure to work for at LEAST a half hour (hopefully longer) and such. Soo...review and I'll get back to you. And I was thinking if someone would just mail me and tell me to write more if it's taking too long. And really, I'd like someone to do that. So...thanks for reading! Sorry for the cliffy too. I figured you'ld rather want this than nothing at all. So...yeah. And the last chapter might be the last one. And I plan to start soon!
