Last time:

So they scattered off. Inuyasha went to his tree, Shippo followed Mrs. Higurashi inside to get snacks, and Sango and Miroku went off to 'explore' a little bit.

As Inuyasha sat under his tree he thought for a bit. 'Maybe I'm just over reacting a bit… she is probably fine. Just in school studying, and taking those tests or whatever. But I just cant help but feel that something just isn't right… I think we're missing something…'

Inuyasha looked at the clock on the night table beside Kagome's bed. It read 1:30. He had decided earlier that the scent of Kagome would soothe him more than his tree would, and hurriedly sought out her room. Only one more hour until she gets home; one more hour…

000000000 Meanwhile

The golden shimmering arrow was getting closer and closer to Naraku. Then, suddenly, he registered what was happening, and jumped out of the way just in time for it to avoid his heart. However, he reacted quickly and sent one of his long tentacles straight toward her. Kagome, being more agile then she used to be, also dodged the attack.

Both were looking into each others' eyes. The purification arrow had avoided Naraku's heart, but it still pierced his arm and left a huge wound. Sweat was running down Kagome's forehead as the sun beamed down on them. The students watched in awe as everything was happening so suddenly, and unexpectedly.

"I am not Kikyo, Naraku. You will not defeat me so easily," Kagome said. This far distance isn't working. He's able to avoid all of my attacks, but what can I do? What else can I form my energy into? She thought.

"We shall see about that, you bitch," Naraku replied. Then, all of his tentacles retreated back into his body, and he resumed a normal appearance. Gasps were heard among the students still locked inside Kagome's protective barrier. That's when she spotted the sword Naraku had strapped to his waist. She watched as he drew it, and crouched down into a stance.

That's it! She dropped her bow, and refocused her energy again. And once again, bright golden balls of energy started to appear in her hands, instead of her regular pink energy. It took a lot of concentrating, but the balls of energy finally started to take shape. They took the shape of two short swords, kodachis. Perfect, she thought.

Kagome also took a stance, and Naraku took that moment to attack. He charged at her, raising his sword high, and ready to strike. Anticipating the attack, Kagome raised her kodachis in a cross, and met his attack head on.

The force of the two energies colliding resulted in a strong wave of power emanating from them. It traveled far, and Kagome just knew that she would need some sort of help soon. However, she pushed that thought far into the recesses of her mind, and kept fighting.

00000000000000000

The time was 2:00. Inuyasha was stiff and alert in Kagome's room, just waiting and waiting for her. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and a wave of some type of power surged through his ultra sensitive body. He was up in an instant, after recognizing the power to be none other than Kagome.

He raced downstairs to find Sango, Miroku, and Shippo also up and alert.

"Inuyasha, did you feel that?" Miroku inquired.

"Of course I did, stupid. Who wouldn't feel power that strong?" he yelled. "It was Kagome, I can feel it. It was her fighting spirit."

Sango replied worriedly, "But it was also laced with evil, Inuyasha. Didn't you sense it? She's fighting someone."

"Shit, we have to find her. Kagome's in trouble."

"Yeah! We have to find Kagome!" Shippo said.

"Come on. Sango, you take Miroku and Shippo, and follow me on Kilala. I'll be able to trace her energy back to where it originated from," ordered Inuyasha. He had a determined set mind. His body was tense and ready as they all prepared for a battle. Kagome… you better be alright, he thought.

000000

If Miroku was impressed before with the technology that was in the future, than he was more than amazed now. He, Sango, and Shippo watched in amazement as they flew by tall shiny metal…. Things. And there were small shiny moving things going back and forth on what he could tell was some kind of road. He was in such awe, that he needed something to bring him back to reality.

SMACK!

"You damn filthy pervert! This is nowhere near the time to be groping me, you ass!" Sango yelled, sporting a nice bright pink blush on her cheeks.

"My dear, Sango, I am terribly sorry. I was just so in awe of the wonders of the future, that I needed something to help me focus," he replied. The pink shaped handprint on his cheek, he noticed, was starting to swell a bit.

"Whatever, you damn perv."

"Oh man…" Shippo sighed. "Will they ever learn?"

Inuyasha, noticing the commotion, and that they were slowing down, yelled back at them, "Come on, guys! We don't have all day, you idiots!! Kagome needs us!"

And with that in mind, all four of them tensed and sped up, determined to find Kagome, and help her.

00000000000

Kagome found herself flying backwards, and she inevitably hit the barrier protecting her school, with a great force. She moaned in pain, and thought herself lucky that she didn't break any bones.

"See, you stupid wench? Even when I am wounded you are still no match for me. I will kill you, just like I did Kikyo. And you will forever be permanently removed from my life," laughed Naraku.

Kagome moaned in pain again, but the none the less, got up slowly. She made her way, unsteadily to her feet, and resumed a defensive stance again. She would not lose. She would not lose to this bastard.

Naraku started to charge again, but then, she heard an oh so familiar voice, along with the loud whirling of wind.

"Wind scar!"

Naraku saw the blast coming, and evaded it just in time buy jumping up and away from both Kagome, and the attack.

"Inuyasha! You came! Wait… Sango? Miroku? Shippo? What the hell are you guys doing here? How did you get here?"

"I believe the story would be better told later, Kagome," replied Miroku.

"Yeah.. Kagome are you ok?" asked Sango.

"Yeah, Kagome. Are you? Are you?" inquired the curious little Shippo.

Inuyasha took in his surroundings, and observed the scars of battle that had been taking place. Kagome and Naraku had been at it for a while. I'm so stupid, how could I not have noticed????

"Kagome, are you ok?" Inuyasha also questioned, with a tight voice.

She looked straight into his eyes. She found worry, a long with the hidden love for her that she saw every time she looked into his eyes. They were also laced with anger that was without a doubt, directed towards Naraku.

"I'm fine. I'm just relieved you guys are all here," she replied.

"Well, isn't this reunion nice," came the sick voice of Naraku. "Well, I'm sorry to say, Inuyasha, that by your presence, you've only put off the inevitable death of the little wench a tad bit longer. But, you're welcome to watch, if you wish."

Inuyasha growled, and crouched down into a defensive stance in front of Kagome, "You bastard! You will not touch Kagome."

Naraku let out a sadistic laugh, "Want to bet, dog?" And with that, he charged towards them. All the while, the amazed talking and whispers of the students about the "weird guy with dog ears" was the only sound permeating the air.

Hey guys, I'm back! Lol

Well, I've decided that I will finish this story, after all. I put it on hiatus because I wasn't getting many reviews. But I got a few after I put it on hiatus, and it proved that a few people did still want to read it. So I thought, why not. And thus, here we are.

I'd like to thank all the readers of this story, and I'm hoping you guys will review for me. You're reviews are my inspiration to keep writing. I am also sorry for any mistakes that I might have missed when looking over the story.

So please, REVIEW!
