Lalala do not own if I did I wouldn't be writing this would i?

Kagome peered over the edge of the well and what she saw almost made her fall from shock.

Sango had her arms wrapped around Inuyasha, And vice versa, leaning against a tree kissing.

"Kagome what's wrong?" Miroku asked from the bottom of the well, she kicked her foot against the well as a signal to shut up. He understood and waited for the all clear. Kagome hoisted her self up and over the well signaling for Miroku to do the same but quietly. When both of them were out of the well they tiptoed out of the clearing and took off into the forest as to not disturb the pair.

"what the hell was that!?" Kagome said panting, when they had finally stopped running.

"I have no Idea," he said equally tired "but I thought Sango hated Inuyasha for all the shit he's done to you."

"so did I!" she added straightening up "well I spose' we'll have to ask them later, but lets go back to the village for now" she said finally regulating her breath.

"KAGOME!" Shippo yipped when she walked into Kadea's hut, the kit jumped into her arms laughing. Kagome reached into her blob of a back pack and withdrew a few pieces of candy, he readily took the candy and huddled in the corner nursing one of the many suckers he received.

"sure made him happy didn't you" Miroku chuckled

"mhm…" Kagome replied. She dropped her bag turned on her heal and ran towards the door, pausing momentarily to snatch her bow and arrows. Clearly startled Miroku followed suit. The two of them ran through the village, and across the field until they reached a small cave at the foot the mountain. When they got there, Sango and Inuyasha were already there.

"You felt it to Inuyasha?" Kagome said running to his side.

"Sure as hell… Nuraku is in there" he growled in response.

"he has a jewel shard I'm sure of it… but I want to know how he got his filthy hands on one, we took the remainder of what he had." Kagome cocked her bow and tiptoed toward the cave, the others in tow. Kagome looked at her friends to make sure they were already, they all looked back and nodded, she shot an arrow into the cave, blue light streaked into the darkness. Before anyone could prepare themselves a swarm of poison wasps flew out attacking them, Miroku reached for his right hand ready to unleash his wind tunnel, when a body flung its self at him. "DON'T YOU DARE" Kagome screamed. "you can't do that! You'll die, I wont be able to take it if you die!" Kagome was lying on top of him, her hand over his wind tunnel, apparently unaware that tears were streaming down her face.

With his free hand he wiped the tears from her face "alright I wont, but we have to find alternate means of getting rid of them then" he said gently pushing her off and getting to his feet, pulling her up as well.

Meanwhile Kirara was burning the little buggers [wasps into oblivion. Sango was flinging her boomerang around killing as many as she could, and Inuyasha was swinging his sword around willy nilly, Shippo was using is fox fire on a swarm that had come at him.

"you guys what the hell are we gonna do?! These stupid things are endless and I'm getting tired" Sango's arm fell limply to her side, from her gesture she was running out of strength.

"you stupid bastard get out here now! Are you going to face us like a man or cower in your stupid cave?!" Inuyasha's temper was now at boiling point. The swarms of wasps wouldn't stop, then Kagome remembered something she had heard Keade mentioning to Miroku, "If she focused enough Kagome could purify demons in the area with her aura alone, she wouldn't have to come to any danger" "That's it!" She practically yelled, "I just need to concentrate!"

"What are you talking about Kagome?" Miroku asked bewildered.

"Keade said if I just focus I could purify any demon around me, and that's what I'll do, I'll concentrate, and hopefully I can purify these wasp things!" she was bouncing up and down now, she could hardly contain her excitement. The girl ran over the entrance of the cave and sat down, she closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could, she ignored the wasps that now surrounded her, the more the better, that way she could get them all at once.

"Kagome what the hell are you doing?!" she could hear the hanyo not far from her.

Inuyasha raised his sword ready to strike, when the raven haired girl yelled "don't touch them!" she hadn't turned around, or opened her eyes, within seconds a blue aura had risen from her small form, getting stronger and stronger, she stood up hands out stretched in front of her, suddenly with a blinding blast, the blue light was gone, and so were the wasps, every last one of them, no trace could be found. "I DID IT!" Kagome's scream of triumph quickly turned to a scream of terror, something had wrapped its self around Kagome's middle and was preceding to drag her into the cave.

"Kagome!!" Miroku dropped his staff and began running towards the mouth of the cave.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" a blue light erupted from the cave, stopping everyone in there tracks, Kagome's limp body was thrown from the cave knocking into Miroku. Clutched in her small hand was the last fragment of the jewel shard.

"Ka-kagome?" Miroku's voice was weak and quiet, he gently shook her small frame. Suddenly the young monk doubled over in pain, grasping his right hand, he pointed it towards the ground ripping off the cloth and beads, he watched in amazement, as the once powerful and deadly wind tunnel, grew weak and vanished.

"Miroku…your free" Kagome reached out a hand and clasped his now curse free hand.

Miroku turned out and pulled her into a tight embrace, tears of joy slipping from his eyes. "Kagome can I ask you something?" he asked half laughing. "o-of course Miroku what is it?" Kagome was watching him now quiet startled "Kagome… will you marry me?" tears were now streaming down Kagome's face. "Yes Miroku yes I'll marry you!" she grabbed his face and kissed him, they parted and Kagome threw her arms around him in a hug, she never wanted to let go.

"heh hem, hellloooooooo…. What's going over here?" Inuyahsa was now towering over the crying couple. "Miroku what did you do to her?! Why is she crying?!" Inuyasha's face was twisted in confusion and anger.

"He asked me to marry him!" Kagome said leaping to her feet.

"And she said yes." Miroku said also leaping to his feet. Both Kagome and Miroku looked at there friends, they couldn't tell if they were happy or sad, but they both came to the conclusion that it was a mixture. It was Shippo who first noticed the cloth hanging from Miroku's arm, and the prayer beads lying on the ground.

"Miroku!, your wind tunnel!, does this mean Naraku's dead?!" Shippo squeaked, jumping onto Kagome's shoulder.

Miroku raised his hand to his face. "yah I guess it does…" Kagome slipped an arm around his waist. "And I guess this means you owe me, big time" she winked up at his slightly shocked face. "lets go guys, I want to get away from here"

The five friends marched off back to Keade's Village, word had quickly spread of Naraku's demise and of the miko who had caused it, some how the village also found out about the miko and monk's engagement, and the women of the village quickly set about arranging the wedding.
