Inuyasha ran after kagome as fast as he could, but she always seemed just a little too far ahead of him. He cursed that he hadnt gone after her sooner. After running for a while, a figure appeared in front of him. He recognized her raven black hair as she stood in place ahead of him. "Kagome!" He shouted as he ran to her, coming to a stop behind her. "Kagome, what are you planning to do? Sango said that you were going to sacrifice yourself to kill naraku!" He placed a hand on her shoulder, and suddenly, "kagome" dissolved before his eyes, leaving one of narakus dolls behind. He was about to turn around when a heavy object hit him over the head and knocked him out.

Inuyasha woke up tied to a tree with a gag in his mouth and naraku in the field in front of him, looking out into the forest. Inuyasha struggled against his binds, growling, but naraku had used his powers to protect the ropes. Inuyasha looked around warily. What was naraku waiting for?

Kagome was running towards narakus aura, determined to reach him before inuyasha caught up to her. She could not let him know what she was planning to do. She came to a stop as she felt narakus aura directly ahead of her. She stepped out of the trees and took in the sight before her, of naraku waiting for her and inuyasha tied up against a tree. She froze as his eyes met hers and he let out a warning growl. She could understand what he was trying to say to her. 'Kagome! Whatever you are planning to do, don't you fucking dare do it! Get out of here with our pup and run!' Kagome ignored him and turned to naraku.

Kagome faced naraku across the field and he tilted his head to the side as he studied her. "I was expecting more of a challenge than this. How do you plan to do anything by yourself little girl? My power is far too great for you to challenge." Kagome just stood there and a smile came to her lips, unnerving naraku for a moment. "You see naraku...there is a power you do not have...the same power that brought me to inuyasha. The power that brought my mother and father together to create me and my brother. The power that created the life within my womb. The power that even now protects my miko half from my fathers blood that runs through my veins..." she closed her eyes as a ball of pink power gathered in her right hand and a ball of black power gathered in her left hand. She brought the powers closer together, it was a lot off effort, they automatically repelled each other. Naraku became deeply unnerved as blood began to seep from kagomes eyes. "Its the power that is greater even than death itself." With a last look at inuyasha who was tied up and gagged against the tree, she gave a shout and smashed the powers together above her head. In the moment of silence, kagome shouted out, "that power is love!". A loud earth-shattering explosion boomed out around them, kicking up dust and making it impossible to see either kagome or naraku. Inuyasha let out a roar through the gag in his mouth, and struggled against his binds. Narakus power was no longer on them now and he broke them easily. He lept to his feet and headed through the dust, searching for kagome.
