Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh or Inuyasha!

AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. Chapter is for Cosmic-lover, I love the reviews you send.

Last Time: "Well, well, Kagome. I seem to have underestimated you." he stated coldly.

"You always do." she sneered.

The glaring war didn't last between the two bitter enemies before they both collided with one another. This time Kagome didn't have Inuyasha and the Tetsusaiga, Sango and the Hiraikotsu, or Miroku and the windtunnel; it was just her, her instinct to live, the jewel, and her own power taking on Naraku. Her instincts to live and protect the people in her life was giving her an extra boost in her power, helping her to keep away from him and his nasty tentacles and miasma.

He attacked her mercilessly. His assault was brutal as he battered against her and her barriers. She was sure that she would be bruised and possibly had a couple of cracked ribs as breathing hurt. But the more he hit her the more her emotions became involved, strengthening her barriers. She was sure that he was having his pleasure out of harming her but it was to her own benefit that his insanity stayed focused on her.

She dropped her barrier, it was still not strong enough to keep him out of it, and she shot another arrow into him. It ripped through him, taking off his arm. He had grimaced but his regenative powers came into play, bringing back his missing appendage. This time he went right to her, facing her, determined to end it right then. He was tired of playing.

Before he could run her through barriers were surrounding her , staving off his attacks and annoying the hell out of him. Arrows flew as Kagome attempted to get him to go towards the well. But it was like he knew what she was doing or he at least had a suspicion of something. She was beginning to have enough and she manuevered herself to the well house. She held the jewel up then.

"Come on Naraku, I don't even have Inuyasha and you can't get it from me." she jeered.

With an angry scream he launched himself towards her as she ran into the well house. He slammed through the sliding doors to see her standing on the well edges, shikon hanging from her hand. She swung it around her fingers and made him think she was about to fall in. He jumped at her and she fell back into the well, causing him to follow her.

He saw the blue light engulf them. She was just inches from him but he was too enthralled to notice. Then it was all gone and was replaced with sunshine glaring down at him from above. He felt that Kagome was gone and looked up to see her. She was poised ready to strike him with the arrow glowing brightly. He was trapped and there was barely any space for him to be able to keep from being struck. But he had an ace up his sleeve.

"Do it Kagome. I will still have time to give the monk back his windtunnel. If it isn't covered there will still be enough time for him to do damage, like suck up his pretty slayer." he sneered.

Kagome glared down at him. She knew he would do it just to cause her more pain.

"Get out of there."

On the other side of the well, Atem and the others were scrambling to find a way to get to Kagome. They wanted to help her. Mizuki had grabbed Seto suddenly and pushed him to the spot Kagome had her stand. She remembered the incantations Kagome had been saying as she had made the markings and she had a nagging feeling that Isis was going to help her. But she would still need Seto, she wasn't powerful enough to do it alone.

"What are you doing?" Seto asked as she shoved him.

"Helping Kagome. We have spiritual powers, we are the only ones that can open this well." she said, her voice a little panicked.

Her statement had captured all of theirs attention.

"Just how am I supposed to help. I don't remember enough yet." Seto said, trying to be patient.

"I.. I don't... I.. I.. I just..." she stuttered and kissed him.

Why she did? It was impulse. Isis had literally pushed her at him and yelled it at her to kiss him. Seto was shell shocked! He hadn't expected that. But it didn't stop the most primal part of him to accept and return it. It was like a door long locked had been ripped off it's hinges as everything came flooding to them. It was frightening and exhilirating as the images flashed and memories began to reweave themselves together. They saw it all and even as they jerked apart it still came rushing through them.

Seto couldn't help but fall to his hands and knees as it came flooding back. A sharp tingling sensation spread across his skin and throughout his body. It was pure holy ki being awoken, surfacing to assist in the life or death situation of the Shikon Miko and to answer the call of it's counterpart, Mizuki.

The memories stopped and he went to his feet, Priest Seto was now a cognitive part of him, never to be shut away again. Concern for Mizuki rose it's head as deft as a cobra. His eyes darted around the small room to see her getting to her feet and slowly making her way to him. She had a proud look on her face and took her place on the other side of the well, placing her hands just where they needed to be.

He mimicked her and followed every sign that was supposed to be used. The tingling on his skin became more sharp, it didn't hurt but it became very warm and pronounced. A white light formed around his hands and a blue-white around hers. Their lights became brighter as their incantation and signs continued until the same bright blue light that always came when Kagome traversed time shot from the well.

Atem took the initiative and jumped in before anyone moved. Joey followed him quickly and then the rest of them were jumping time. As soon as they were all through Seto took Mizukis' hand and jumped with her.

When they climbed out of the well on the other side, they were met by Kagome being slammed across the field clearing. A white haired man with dog ears and a large sword was yelling obscenities at Naraku, a monk was tarrying away at the tentacles coming his way, and a woman with a huge boomerang was ripping away at him. Another man with white hair had slashed at Naraku and had heavily wounded him.

"About time." Kagome panted as she came up to them. "Get a weapon and get those powers to working."

Seto and Mizuki didn't have anything to use as physical weapons but they could blast him with their spiritual ki.

Even with them all contributing in some way to rid the world of the spider hanyou, he was still surviving. His concern was not for any of them but Kagome. His sole mission was to get to her and rip the jewel from her. Even with the newcomers actually able to do damage to him he was keeping all of his focus on the priestess holding the jewel that had yet been wished upon.

Kagome was doing her best to keep out of his reach. She was not letting him get the jewel. If she had to make a selfish wish to stop him, she would. In fact that was the best idea that had come to her about the jewel. She pulled an arrow from her quiver and set it into the ground, erecting a barrier to leave her hands free.

Naraku had noticed what she was doing and was doubling his efforts to stop her. The fray of her friends were preventing him from getting to her. He saw her clasp the jewel in her hands and hold it to her lips. They moved but he couldn't make out what she was saying to it.

She was explaining her predicament to it. Telling it that it was for the good of the world if it disappeared, destroying Naraku in the process, saving the world in the end. The jewel agreed with her but because there was no such thing as a pure wish there would have to be a sacrifice. A sacrifice that would have to cause hurt and grief, the same grief that Naraku had caused so many others. What that would have to be she didn't know, the jewel didn't know, only the Kami would know.

Kagome closed her eyes to make her wish. Every possible aspect flashed before her eyes of what kind of hurt would have to be cause, who it may have to be placed upon. She prayed then that the grief would be laid on her shoulders, be her burden to bare. If she wouldn't accept the outcome on herself, then she could never ask for someone else to bare it either.

"I wish for Naraku to be gone, erased from the earth, never to be seen or heard from again ever." she said in almost a whisper.

"You fool! The power is gone." Naraku shouted and began to disappear in front of them.

The power of the jewel dispersed from inside and shot out away from the area, spreading itself over the entire land, giving itself over for the earth. The power washed over every man, woman, child, animal, hanyou, and demon enclosing them in the embrace that was Midorikos' soul. When it wrapped around Kagome she was shown what the sacrifice was. Her own burden was to live with the knowledge of that the sacrifice had been her own father. Her going back in time, saving the world from evil; had a price, her father. But she was to be rewarded for her deed of selflessness, her own prayer to bare the burden on herself instead of someone else.

Her reward was to have one last day with her father.

AN: AIIIIII! I seriously believe that many of you may be thinking that I am a cruel woman for doing this to Kagome.

ANII: Sorry for the lateness, I had a huge test to study for, one that was a pinnacle in my college career.
