Her Happiness, or Their Happiness

Summary: Kagome sells her soul to Naraku in exchange for the Kazzana, Kohahu, and Kikyo.

Chapter 1: Deal

Kagome was feeling very depressed. During their last encounter with Naraku he managed to tell her something. After pondering over what he told her she realized he was completely correct.

Flashback

Naraku had knocked Inuyasha to the ground giving himself some time to get to Kagome.

"It's your fault your friends suffer." he told her, "If you hadn't broke the jewel they would all still be living in peace."

End of Flashback

It was dark and everyone was asleep in Keades hut. Silently she crept outside, even Inuyasha didn't hear her. She walked towards Inuyasha's forest once there she sprinted off. She ran and ran. She stopped for a brief moment then began to run again. It was nearly dawn when she reached her destination.

Narakus castle. Kagome could sense the barrier around it.

"Naraku!" she screamed, "Let me in! I have a deal for you!"

Naraku heard Kagomes' words and lifted his barrier long enough for her to enter then quickly put it back up. Kagome walked towards the castle and stopped in front of it.

'Where is the rest of that pathetic gang?' Naraku wondered.

"I have a deal for you Naraku." Kagome repeated.

"And what might that be miko?" he asked surprised she came to him alone. Kagome took a breath then let it out slowly.

"My deal is if you remove the Kazana from Miroku, release an ALIVE Kohaku, and leave Kikyo in peace...I ...will...give you... my soul." Naraku was momentarily shocked but didn't let it show. He smiled and let out an evil chuckle.

"So, you'll willingly give up your soul for your friends' happiness."

"I don't ask that you understand. Ask if you agree. However you must hold up your end before I give you my soul." Naraku was silent for a moment considering the deal.

'Hmmmmmmmmmm...' he thought, 'lose three enemies, gain a new ally OR gain nothing.'

"Very well miko I accept your offer."

"I must see that these deeds are taken care of before you get my soul."

"Have it your way. Follow me." he said with an evil smirk.

He had ordered Kagura and Kanna to come to him. Kanna held out her mirror and showed the gang in a hut just waking up.

"Kagura, go and invite our 'friends' here." he said sarcastically. Without another word she was gone.

Kagome watched through Kannas mirror her friends wake up. Then wonder where she was, And leaving the hut to be greeted by Kagura. Then Kagura leading them back to the castle.

They got to the edge of the barrier when Naraku let them pass. He did, however put up a barrier around himself, Kagura, Kanna Kohaku, and Kagome.

"Kagome! What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha snapped. Naraku began to chuckle.

"You mean she didn't tell you Inuyasha? I thought you were her friend." That got Inuyasha pissed. He began to pull out his sword when Kagome shouted,

"Stop, Inuyasha!" He stopped dead in his tracks.

"Please continue master Naraku." Kagome told him.

"MASTER!" The gang shouted in confusion.

"Miroku first." she said. Naraku chuckled then lifted his hand. Then put it down quickly. Miroku let out a small gasp as he felt his wind tunnel close. Quickly he tore off his prayer beads and sure enough the wind tunnel was gone. The gang turned towards Miroku in awe.

"Inuyasha." Kagome spoke. They tuned there attention back to Naraku. Kanna help up her mirror revealing where Kikyo was.

"And Sango." Kagome choked. Naraku then placed his hand on Kohakus head giving him back his memories then allowed him to exit the barrier.

"Sango!" he cried then ran into his sisters' embrace.

"Kohaku." she breathed. They heard Kagome breath in a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for the pain I caused. I hope this can make up for it. Good-bye." she then kneeled before Naraku.

"I'm ready Master Naraku." A miasma surrounded them and they disappeared leaving a very confused/ angry/ sad/ simi-happy group of friends.

Inuyasha turned to them and shouted,

"What the hell just happened?" There was a pause.

"I think I understand now." Miroku finally said.

"Well, What? What just happened?" Inuyasha demanded.

"I'm not sure this is just a theory. but..."

"Just tell us already." Sango demanded. Kohaku sighed.

"Sister I know what happened."

"Then speak up! What the hell happened!" Inuyasha shouted.

Kohaku then began to tell the tale.
