Chapter 6

Haku had not anticipated this. He wasn't supposed to be defeated, by the hands of ninjas like these. But not just any ninjas…only mere genin. Beginner ninja. But the way Sasuke had destroyed all his mirrors out of pure rage shocked him.

Haku then realized that Sasuke was trying to kill him not because of a blood-thirsty intent…but because he lost someone he cared about. Someone precious to him.

Just as Zabuza was to him.

He was forcefully knocked out of the mirror, the last mirror, he was in, and it shattered. He fell on his face with a sickening 'crack' sound.

Haku slowly stood up numbly, and watched Sasuke a few yards away, blood-lust filled in his eyes.

Haku knew he was going to die. There was no point in denying it. He…had failed Zabuza. So what meaning does his life have if he could not do anything right for Zabuza, someone who was precious to him?

He didn't have the will to fight anymore. He just stood there, ready for anything thrown at him.

His mask was slowly cracking, ready to fall off as Sasuke charged at him with blind fury. Haku saw the blonde boy next to the girl's body, watching. The boy was mad, yes, but he was also scared. Scared of seeing someone dead. Again…

Genin should not have to experience gruesome battles like this. Especially when they have no intuition of real battles such as this—

A swift punch to his face knocked him out of his subconscious. Haku slowly got up shakily, feeling half the mask slipping off of him. As Sasuke readied another punch, Haku's identity was shown for the first time in front of them, now that the mask had came off and landed near his feet on the ground.

Sasuke was ready to deliver a fatal blow to him. Haku was ready to die.

If he could not complete his purpose in life, then he could at least die with honor.

...But he had felt nothing. No pain.

Haku saw that Naruto held Sasuke's fist from behind, as the raven-haired boy struggled against the restraints holding him back from lashing out at him.

But why? Why did Naruto stop Sasuke from killing him? He deserved all the pain that was coming for him. After all...

Sasuke angrily looked behind and shouted, "NARUTO! LET GO! HE DESERVES TO DIE!"

He's right, Haku thought to himself sadly.

Naruto shook his head, which immorally surprised Haku.

No. This isn't want he wanted. He wanted to die, now that he doesn't have anything to live for.

Haku spoke out. "Don't. Let him kill me. I no longer have a purpose in life, now that I have failed Zabuza." Haku noticed Naruto's eyes shift over to him.

"What do you mean?" the blonde boy asked curiously.

Haku stared at his feet silently. "Zabuza...he's the only one I fight for. Before he found me, my father killed my mother and tried to kill me. Because of my power. I had killed him in the end...and I was alone. No one wanted me. They hated me..."

Haku continued, lifting his head slightly. "But then Zabuza saw me differently. A weapon. Something of use to him. It gave me a reason to live...he gave me the reason..."

He then smiled sadly, remembering the times they had. "For the first time...I was happy. He made me happy. That's why I only live to fulfill his dreams. Even if it meant becoming a shinobi...I was willing to do anything to make him happy..."

Naruto and Sasuke stared at him in shock, Haku noted.

Then, Haku felt something. Zabuza was in danger.

Maybe….he could spare his life for him...

Yes. That's what he'll do.

He swiftly left his spot, as the other two were left there in shock. He knew they were going to follow him, but he didn't care.

Now, he had a reason to die. And nothing else made him more content than that.


Kakashi stood a few feet in front of Zabuza, who was being restrained by the earth style tracker jutsu.

"This is no longer just tricks. This time it's time I introduce you to my own jutsu!" Kakashi declared and brought his hands up in a sign and performed basic motions.

A blue ring of fire surrounded him and lighting sparked and absorbed into his hands that were put together, creating a large electrifying ki ball in his palms.

"LIGHTNING RAIN!"

Zabuza thought in panic with widened eyes. 'This chakra is so strong, it's visible!' Zabuza knew this was the end for him, but he didn't know it would end like this.

"You're finished!" Kakashi shouted with fury and charged at Zabuza, as he was still restrained. Zabuza could not dodge it since he was paralyzed.

Then, an ice mirror shot out from in front of Zabuza, which made Kakashi confused at first but instead he just brought his fist through the glass, shattering it into pieces.

But the pieces had turned to blood.

Zabuza and Kakashi's eyes were widened. Zabuza's restraints came off with a puff of smoke.

Blood was all around. Not Zabuza's blood though.

Haku was in front of Zabuza with a lifeless expression on his face; he looked dead, but he was still standing. Haku had been Zabuza's shield, but was just as delicate as the mirrors he was able to form.

Haku grabbed Kakashi's hand and twisted it as it was still pressed against his chest. "Z-Za…buza…" he muttered, pain evident in his voice. Zabuza smirked wickedly behind his bandages.

"I suppose you had been wrong, Kakashi." Zabuza sneered and Kakashi's eyes narrowed with anger.

"The boy threw himself in front of my attack…just to save your pathetic one…" Kakashi said at Zabuza with disgust. Zabuza only just said, "Well done, Haku…" which sickened Kakashi even more.

Naruto and Sasuke arrived. Naruto's expression turned to grief at the loss, and Sasuke was disappointed since he was not able to kill Haku and avenge Kagome, himself.

Then, Zabuza drew his sword and was ready to strike Kakashi, not caring of Haku was in the way. Kakashi's eyes widened and Sakura screamed, "Kakashi-sensei!"

Kakashi reacted quicker and grabbed Haku, pulling them both out of the way of the attack. "Stay out of this Naruto." Kakashi ordered when Naruto had been ready to pounce. Naruto hesitantly obeyed, still filled with rage.

Kakashi laid Haku down, still supporting his upper body with an arm. He placed a hand over Haku's eyes and slowly shut them, the muscles in the boy's finally relaxed from the shock.

Haku was dead.

Kakashi glared at Zabuza with hatred. Naruto clenched his fists tightly.

Just then, Sakura's voice came, "Naruto, what's wrong with you! Where's Kagome?"

Truthfully, Sakura didn't care for Kagome that much. She only asked so she could show Sasuke that she cared for his 'interest'.

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, as Naruto turned his head to Sakura.

Sakura noticed Naruto's grief-stricken expression.

'Had something…happened?' Sakura thought to herself. She ran back to where the mirrors once were. She didn't know why now, but she had to find Kagome. She wanted to know what happened.

Though she had a feeling she already knew.


Sakura and Tazuna tried looking for where Kagome's body was. They could not find it because some of the mist still remained around them.

Sakura then spotted something a few yards away. They both ran towards it and stopped when they got close enough.

They had found Kagome. Sakura gasped in horror at Kagome's body covered with blood and senbons. She kneeled next to her body as Tazuna stood a few feet away, with shock written all over his expression.

Sakura stared at Kagome for a long time, her face impeccably in shock. She didn't know what to do, or how to react. She placed a hand against her cheek, and shivered at how cold it felt under her hand.

A part of her wanted to jump for joy because the girl who held Sasuke's interest was gone; she would have no more competition. But another part of her wanted to scream at her other self for being so cruel and mourn for the loss of a teammate. Sakura was torn. So she just sat there, staring at Kagome silently.

Tazuna walked up from behind and said quietly, "I don't believe it. This girl was so strong and yet...she's actually gone. It's hard to believe someone like her would be...dead...right now." Sakura nodded slightly in agreement, not quite believing that this was for real, still.

Sakura and Tazuna's attentions were caught when they heard a sound.

Sakura's eyes widened at seeing Kagome's hand twitch. Then, her chest rose and fell slowly and Sakura heard breaths emitting from Kagome.

Then, her eyes opened. Tazuna's eyes widened and Sakura gasped.

Kagome's usual chocolate brown eyes were dulled out, but they were open and full of life.

"Kagome..." Sakura whispered. She felt happy that she was alive yet also felt the opposite of that.

Kaogme slowly sat up and shook her head, as she realized something.

Haku had not killed her. It may have seemed like it but...he only did the same thing he had done with Zabuza before.

Haku had pierced Zabuza with his senbons, making his heart stop for a while, but not having to had killed him in the process. He did the same thing with her; hitting no major artery in her body. He doesn't want to kill anyone, Kagome thought to herself with realization. He had been telling the truth when he had told them all that.

Haku wasn't the bad guy.


"I'd stay focused if I were you, Kakashi!" Zabuza yelled as he swung his blade at Kakashi.

Kakashi reacted quickly and sent a quick to his face, making him reel back.

They fought against each other, but Zabuza could not match Kakashi's speed and received the most blows.

'Why...can't I keep up with him?' Zabuza thought to himself in anger.

Kakashi jabbed him in the face, drawing blood and making him spin to the side. The sword he held scraped the ground as he twisted his body around to regain his balance. Zabuza felt himself grow weak, and he panted slightly.

Then, Zabuza felt his anger grow and he yelled, "I'LL SPLIT YOU IN HALF!" and swung his sword at Kakashi once more. Kakashi easily dodged by just stepping back. Zabuza swung his sword vertically. It dented the ground as Kakashi dissapeared. Zabuza's eyes widened as he felt something press against the back of his neck.

Kakashi was behind him, holding his neck in a vice grip by his fingers. "Look at you...falling apart. I knew you didn't have what it takes for the long haul. You have no idea what real strength is..." Kakashi scolded Zabuza with disappointment and anger in his voice.

Zabuza growled lowly.

Kakashi stabbed two kunai in one of Zabuza's arms, rendering it useless. Kakashi swung two more kunai in his hand dangerously as he brought them out from his bag. "Game over. You lose." Kakashi declared and he brought the kunai down.

At that same time, Zabuza twisted his body around and swung his sword to cut off Kakashi's head. Kakashi was able to stab his arm with the kunai before he was able to dodge the incoming swing. The sword was released from Zabuza's grasp since Kakashi had damaged his arm and it slid a few feet away.

Kakashi regained his footing a few feet away, with Naruto and Sasuke watching behind him with shock.

"Now what will you do? Both your arms are useless and you can't even make hand signs." Kakashi provoked Zabuza, which seemed to have done the trick. Zabuza growled and was about to launch at him, even if he couldn't use his arms to fight him...

Until another person stepped in from the sidelines.

"Hm?" Kakashi looked in the direction of the newcomer, along with everyone else who was there.

"He did quite a job on you, Zabuza. You look like yesterday's sashimi(1)." the person spoke with slight humor.

Zabuza shifted his eyes over.

"I must say I'm...disappointed." the person said. A short man that had a bandaged arm with a cane, and a hundred other rebels and/or thieves behind him, obediently standing behind him like a master and his pet.

"What is this about, Gato? Who the hell are they?" Zabuza said and he glanced at the men behind the short man who were sending snickers in his direction.

Gato 'hned' carelessly. He chuckled, "There has been a slight change in plans. According to the new one, you are going to die right here on this bridge..."

Zabuza's eyes widened. "What?"

Gato smirked at his reaction. "You're too expensive to keep in hire. So I'm cutting off the deal. Even these thugs I brought are worth something more than you." Gato chuckled again.

"Look at you Zabuza...demon of the mist. You look just as demonic as a wet kitten." he said, which brought a roar of laughter and taunting jeers in Zabuza's direction.

'I thought one rogue ninja was bad enough...' Naruto thought to himself grimly, glancing at about the 100 men behind Gato.

"Well, well, Kakashi. It seems that our fight is over now that I am no longer under the services of Gato. Tazuna is safe." Zabuza said as his shoulder slightly slumped in defeat. Kakashi paused and nodded. He glanced at Gato, who was walking forward. "It would seem so..." Kakashi eyed the short man's broken arm curiously. He didn't know why it was like that in the first place.

Gato walked up right beside Haku's body. He narrowed his eyes behind his shades and growled, "You little punk...you nearly broke my arm from before-!" That answered Kakashi's mental question. "-I've been meaning to repay you for that." he smirked as he placed a foot against Haku's face, jostling it slightly.

Then, he swung that foot against his face. Hard.

"I only wish he was alive to have felt that..." Gato muttered disappointingly as he poked the body with his cane.

Naruto growled and sprinted towards Gato, intended on tearing him piece by piece. Kakashi held his waist before he could barely get past him and said, "Stop it, Naruto!"

Kakashi thought Naruto was going to pounce at Gato when he was strong enough to rip out of his grasp. But instead, Naruto stood there and glared at Zabuza's back. "Are you going to let him treat him like that? Is that it?" he yelled at Zabuza.

"Haku's dead. What does it matter?" Zabuza responded harshly.

Naruto couldn't believe he was hearing this. After everything Haku did for him...Zabuza just...

That scum...

"You mean he means nothing to you even after you guys have been together for years?"

Zabuza's voice responded, this time colder, "You don't know the way of the shinobi. I merely used him...just as Gato used me."

"That is the most damned excuse I've ever heard." a new voice came.

Kakashi smiled underneath his mask, whereas Sasuke and Naruto looked back with widened eyes as they had recognized the voice. Naruto felt some tears build up, but held them back since they were still in a critical situation.

Kagome was limping towards them, covered with blood and senbons, alive. Sakura and Tazuna were following right behind her.

Sasuke felt his relief overcome him seeing her alive. He thought he lost her forever...

Kagome stood in front of Naruto, despite the pain in her legs and growled, "Is that all you ever thought of Haku? As some sort of weapon?" she spat the last word with venom.

Zabuza was unresponsive, but Kagome already knew his answer.

She growled loudly and yelled, "You're even more despicable than I thought! UNGRATEFUL BASTARD! You have no idea what Haku did just for you! You, of all people! He threw his entire life away for you!"

Something echoed through her mind.

'Will you let me stay with you?'

"He lived for you! He tried fulfilling your dream and tried making your life better..."

'I want you to be happy...I want you to laugh a lot...'

She shut her eyes tightly at her own quotes running through her mind. She felt the bitterness overwhelm her.

"He sacrificed everything...his own dreams, his life, everything he could have had...just for you. He stood by your side after all these years just for you..."

'I will always be by your side.'

The voice stopped in her mind, but not her words. She opened her eyes and yelled at Zabuza with fury. "But he never cared, because he was happy...happy because of you...AND YOU NEVER ONCE GAVE A DAMN ABOUT HIS OWN FEELINGS? YOU'RE EVEN MORE DESPICABLE THAN GATO!" her voice died down. She spoke quietly, "I was right...people like you are all the same...after you have no use for them...you just..."

An image of Inuyasha ran through her mind. Him abandoning her. "...you just throw them away, like trash. That's just too cruel...so wrong..." she finished, her hands clenching hard enough to draw more blood. Kakashi sadly stared at her from behind.

Sasuke and Naruto were speechless beyond words. Words...could not comprehend how deep her words cut through them.

Zabuza was silent for a long moment.

"You talk too much..."

Kagome opened her eyes and stared at his back. They all saw something dripping in front of Zabuza and in front of his feet. It wasn't raining...

Zabuza lifted his head up slightly, revealing his eyes that were hidden the whole time. Everyone gasped in total shock at the sight before them.

Zabuza...was shedding tears. Kagome had brought the demon of the mist to tears.

"Your words cut deep...deeper than any blade." he said quietly. Kagome's eyes widened slightly. Then she realized...he did care. He had cared about Haku. He had not realized it until now.

Zabuza stared at the ground where his tears splattered onto. "Haku was always to kind and gentle...he felt pain and sorrow..." he glanced at Haku's body. "...now, curse him for making me feel these emotions as well!" his voice sounded angry, yet it held so much remorse in it. Kagome's eyes narrowed sadly and she looked to the side. Naruto came up next to her and stared at her, then to Zabuza.

Zabuza said, "I feel contempt that this is the way it ends..." and ripped away the wrappings around his mouth. He was human. He smirked, when he could feel the shock emitting from the blonde boy behind. "Surprised to find that I am human? No matter how hard some of us might try, we fail to hide that fact. Or at least...I fail." his smirk disappeared from his face.

"Boy..." Naruto's head slightly shot up, knowing well he was referring to him. "Give me your kunai."

Naruto was confused, since he knew that both Zabuza's arms were immobile. Wordlessly, Naruto took a kunai from his pouch and tossed it towards Zabuza. Zabuza did not use his arms, but his mouth, to catch the kunai.

Then, almost as fast as lightning, he charged.

Panicking, Gato ran away and cowardly through his crowd of men, yelling, "Kill him, NOW!" They readied their weapons as Zabuza came at them with his top speed. They thought he was insane taking on all of them like this. Then, their mockeries were proved wrong since Zabuza had cut through them and wounded almost a quarter of the men with the kunai in his mouth.

One by one, Zabuza either wounded or killed the men. They were not his target, though. He cut halfway through the crowd of men, slaughtering them as they got in his way. A man managed to drive a spear into Zabuza's back, but that didn't stop him. Two more spears were driven in his back as Gato came into his line of peripheral vision.

'Finally...' Zabuza thought as he charged at Gato who as a few yards away with a panicked expression on his face. Then, Zabuza felt something slam on his head and made him fall to the ground. Gato was relieved after that.

"I don't care if Haku died because of Gato and you want revenge on him. I still have unfinished business I need to settle with him."

Zabuza looked up, only to see Kagome's serious straight face staring at Gato. She took a step towards Gato, who unconsciously took a step back, seeing the new danger.

"I've been waiting for this moment...Gato."

She narrowed her eyes. "You killed my family!" she charged at him. Gato tried moving back, but Kagome proved to be faster.

She drew a kunai and stabbed it into an arm. He grimaced in pain as Kagome stood in front of him with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"That was for my grandfather!"

She drew her katana and stabbed it into his broken arm, which brought more pain to his now immobile arm. "That was for my little brother!"

She pushed him away and he fell to the ground on his back. Kagome stood a few feet away. Her eyes lit with fury.

"And this is for MY MOTHER!" she yelled and spread her arms out.

"WATER STYLE: TEARS OF A THOUSAND KUNAI!" (2)

The moisture in the air turned into water droplets that surrounded them. Zabuza looked around in amazement as the water drops floated around him. The drops hovered above them all, creating a large water dome.

Kagome's eyes were filled with hate for Gato as he stared at his panicked expression. He deserved the pain that was going to come for him.

She shifted her arms behind so her hands were drawn behind her. With a battle cry, she thrust her hands forward towards Gato as the drops turned into kunai and they shot at him. Gato's eyes widened and shut at the same time, preparing himself for the impact of a thousand knives.

But there was none after a minute later.

He opened his eyes, his breath hitching in his throat. The kunais that were going to stab him were surrounding him, floating in place in the air. Kagome's hand was still outstretched in front of her.

Then, Kagome lowered her arm and shut her eyes, the kunai falling and cluttering around Gato.

Gato was relieved, but Zabuza and everyone else was shocked. Sasuke's eyes were still widened. 'Why didn't she kill him? Isn't that what she wanted?' Sasuke thought to himself.

Kagome spoke up. "My whole life...I had waited for this moment. To find and take my revenge on you for killing my family..." she opened her eyes and looked at him. "As much as I want to kill you..." the lighting in her eyes changed as they shook. She looked away. "I just can't...I'll be no better than you..." her back faced him as she abruptly turned and started walking away, her head held high proudly.

Gato stood up shakily, staring at her retreating form. He was relieved she didn't kill him.

"Just because she can't kill you, doesn't mean I can't." a deadly voice said from behind.

Zabuza smirked with the kunai held in his mouth. With three deadly blows...Gato's body shed blood and it was tossed over the side of the port into the water.

Gato was finally dead. Zabuza killed him.

Zabuza turned and staggered through the crowd of thugs as they parted a path for him. He stood and glanced up and he saw...Haku...

"Haku...never once did I ever thank you...f-forgive me...for that..." Zabuza muttered and he fell face-down to the ground.

Kakashi stared at Zabuza with mob of thugs were infuriated and were about to charge when an arrow stopped them in their paths as it staked the ground in front of them. Everyone looked behind.

The whole village was standing their with their household weapons. In front of them all stood Inari, with a crossbow and another arrow ready.

Naruto smiled. "Inari!" Inari gave him a cheesy grin and yelled, "Heroes usually come at the last minute!"

The mob didn't seem quite convinced so Naruto put his hands in a sign and yelled, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" and 5 Naruto's appeared in a cloud of smoke. The mob was intimidated, but stood their ground. Kakashi's eyes were half-lidded since he was depelted of his energy. "Maybe I have just enough chakra to help you..." he said and formed a similar hand sign. In a poof, about a hundred Kakashi's stood.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU: KAKASHI STYLE!"

That did the trick and the whole mob of thugs took off in the large boat on the port they had used since they had gotten here.

When they had disappeared, the whole village cheered. They were finally free. Inari dropped his crossbow and ran to Tazuna, crying "Grandpa!" and hugged him. Tazuna chuckled as he ruffled the boy's hair. "Inari, you've become just like your father! I'm so proud of you!"

Kakashi smiled at the celebration going on, as Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto stood around each other, talking. Well, at least Sakura and Naruto anyway. Kakashi stared to the side and his smile faltered. Everyone looked the same direction, pausing their moment.

Kagome stood next to Zabuza's body, intently. Zabuza muttered out as he looked up at her, "Please...take me to Haku...I want to see him one more time...before I die." Kagome's eyes softened at his plea and she nodded, bending over. Zabuza's arm was slung over her shoulder as she slowly dragged him over to Haku's body, everyone watching.

Then, small snowflakes fell from the sky. It was snowing gently. Everyone in the village looked up in disbelief. Tazuna muttered, "Impossible...it's snowing...at this time of year..."

Sasuke watched as Kagome carefully laid Zabuza's body next to Haku's after she had pulled out the spears imbedded in his back, and stepped away.

Zabuza turned his head towards Haku next to him sadly. "You were always by my side...the least I can do is stay by you in the end..." Zabuza whispered to Haku's body. Zabuza slowly and shakily raised an arm, despite the pain shooting through it, and placed a hand against Haku's cheek. "I wish I could go to where you are...right now..." he said sadly. "How I wish I could...join you there...Haku..."

Through the clouds, a small light shined down upon them both.

Kagome's expression softened at the scene. Even after Zabuza never treated Haku fairly, he was now dying and apologizing to Haku for all he did.

Kagome's expression lowered. Inuyasha never did that before she died. But then again...he went with Kikyo. He never cared for her, she realized that a long time ago.

"Kagome..." Zabuza's voice croaked out. Kagome raised her head in shock, hearing him call her by her first name for the first time. Zabuza never looked at her as he asked, "Do you think...I will be able to join Haku...?"

Kagome smiled slightly. She kneeled next to him. "I am a priestess, Zabuza. I will send a prayer to help you unite with him...but...I think you are already going to be with him, though..."

Zabuza smiled a little and whispered, "Thank you..." and he closed his eyes and died like that. Kagome placed her hands together and made a silent prayer to the dead.

After that, she stood and stared at the two bodies. They were going to be united, even in death. They were both finally at peace.

Then, a bright light emitted from the other side of the dock. Kagome raised her head and her expression turned to shock. Everyone else was confused by the bright light.

Kagome stepped around the bodies and stood there, watching as the light took a form. Kagome's eyes widened immensely.

Team 7 identified the form as it took shape, seeing a woman standing there with a familiar face. They didn't know who it was.

Kagome croaked loudly, "M...Mom?" The team's expression turned to shock.

The woman gave a smile. "Kagome..." the woman said and Kagome felt her eyes become moist. Then, the woman started to fade and Kagome gasped. "MOM! DON'T GO!" she cried as she ran towards her.

The woman disappeared as Kagome's hand grasped the form. Kagome's arm was still outstretched as she stood there in a trance. She lowered her arm and stared at the sky, watching as the clouds started to cover the light shining through. "M..Mom..." Kagome whimpered quietly as she fell to her knees, shakily.

Kagome clenched her hands into a fist as she shook violently. She wasn't going to cry...she wasn't going to cry.

Kakashi stood behind her, a sad expression on his face. 'She's going into shock...' Kakashi thought to himself sadly as he watched her shake. He kneeled down next to her and placed a hand on her back in a comforting way. Then, he hooked his arms under her legs and back and lifted her up, holding her the same way he used to when she was little. Kagome didn't say anything but only buried her face in his shoulder.

Kakashi turned and started to walk back to the others, as they watch the strongest girl they knew go into shock. Sasuke stared at Kagome as she looked...broken. But she wouldn't cry, even after seeing the face of her own dead mother. He wondered how strong Kagome was, seeing her not breaking down. His heart hurt for the girl as he watched her shake violently.

Kakashi stopped and looked at the others. "We should get back...Kagome's exhausted." he said and started walking back, as Kilala jumped on Kakashi's shoulder and sadly mewed at her master. (3) Sasuke caught and walked close to Kakashi, staring at Kagome the whole time.

Depression is not a sign of weakness...it just shows that you've been strong for too long.


Yes, Kagome finally got her revenge! But now...she's really sad D: who will be there for her! :O

Btw, I was offended by the anonymous review saying they counted my reviews and wanted me to update. I had gotten rid of it because it didn't motivate me as much. You knowwho you are. I'm not mad, just offended. It takes time for me to write so don't expect me to automatically update after there is more than the number of reviews I request -.-.

The quotes that ran through Kagome's mind were from Inuyasha episode 48.

Until then...

Sayonara!

(1) A Japanese delicacy consisting of raw seafood sliced in pieces and served with dipping sauce.

(2) I made that jutsu up.

(3) Kilala had been with them all for the whole time, in case you have forgotten.

NEW RULE:

Any chapter less than 10 reviews = will not think about updating.

I lowered the number of reviews because I'm being nice and you all have supported me greatly with the story so far!
