Everyone jumped up when they heard the door being slammed against the wall. Thinking it was someone from Naraku, the guys hopped from their spots and got into a defensive position. Inuyasha's eyes widened when he took in his brother's appearance. His eyes were tinged with red at the very edges and his face was in a scowl. Little leaves and twigs had somehow gotten tangled in his silver tresses.

"Man, what the hell happened to you?"

"We have to save Kagome." He said, ignoring the question.

"What, Mr. All High and Mighty needs our help?"

Inuyasha asked, feigning surprise.

"Cut the crap Inuyasha. This is no time for that." Miroku said, glaring at Inuyasha's childishness.

"We need to go now. She's in danger." They turned around to see Ai sitting up, a sullen expression on her face. She had put on her shirt again and looked fine.

"Ai..." Sango said. She knew Ai felt guilt for getting Kagome into this mess in the first place.

"Let's meet in the front of the school in the next five minutes." She said as she stood up and walked to her room.

"Well, you heard her."

-----------------

Five minutes later, everyone met in the front of the school in their fighting outfits they wore when they trained in the gym. Miroku wore his purple monk robes with his staff in hand, Sango wore her slayer outfit, her Hiraikotsu strapped to her back. Sesshoumaru was dressed in his white kimono complete with armor and his swords at his side. Inuyasha wore his red fire-rat kimono with Tetsusaiga strapped to his hip. Kei wore a black Chinese style type that looked like he ripped the sleeves off, which he probably did, black pants like Inuyasha's and bandaged feet. He also had his trademark gloves on. Ai had a Chinese style kimono that was sleeveless and went all the way down to her ankles. It had splits up the side that went all they way to her hips to allow her freedom of movement and was blue in color. Her hair was in a braid and a giant Shurikan was strapped to her back.

"Let's go."

-------------

Kagome sat in her cell, huddled against the wall as far away from the door as she could get. Too many times has he tried to get her and she was wishing that Sesshoumaru and the rest would show up soon. The door creaked open and she watched as Naraku walked in, a smirk on his face.

"Hello, my dear Kagome." He said.

"Don't say my name, you bastard." She hissed.

"My, somebody's forgotten who their talking to." A tentacle appeared and shot out at her. Before she could move, it pierced her in the side. She screamed in pain as he retracted it. There was a small little 'tink' as a pink marble rolled onto the ground.

"Ah, the Shikon no Tama." He said. She looked at it with a mixture of surprise and wonderment. The legendary Shikon no Tama had resided in her body this whole time? She looked down at her wound and the marble that sat a foot from her.

"Finally, its mine." Naraku went to pick up when Kagome made a dive for it. Naraku glared at her and sent a whole bunch of tentacles her way at once. She sat there, too paralyzed with fear to move.

--------------

Sesshoumaru and the gang arrived at the barrier in no time. He pulled out his Tenseiga and held it out to the barrier. As it did before, it made a whole big enough for one person to get in. One by one, they all filed in with Sesshoumaru being the last one. Strapping it back to his side, he led them to Naraku's castle. Everyone was ready for a battle to ensue and were quite surprised when half the castle blew up.

----------

Kagome's entire body glowed blew as the tentacles closed in. Her eyes were glowing pink and she seemed to be in a trance. Suddenly, a wave of purification Naraku and he screamed in pain. The wall in her section blew to tiny little pieces as her power continued to spread out. With his last remaining strenght, Naraku managed to get away along with Kagura and his other offspring, Kanna. The power receded into Kagome's body and her eyes returned to their normal sapphire color. She blinked in confusion at seeing half the castle blown up then looked down at her clenched hand. She unfolded and gasped in shock. There, in the palm of her hand, was the Shikon no Tama. So her grandfather's stories weren't crazy after all!

"Kagome!" She looked up to see everyone running over to her. Ai jumped her and squeezed her into a tight hug.

"I'm really sorry. So sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen!"

"It's okay." Kagome said, patting her back.

"What the hell? We went through the trouble of coming to get you and you don't even let us kick his sorry ass!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyo admonished, tugging on his ear.

"Ow!"

"Kagome." Ai moved out of the way so Sesshoumaru could step forward. He knelt in front of her and brought her into his arms.

"I'm glad your safe."

"Oh Sesshoumaru." She snuggled into his embrace as he stood up.

"Let's go back."

Okay, two chapters in one day. I had nothing else to do so why not update my story. Now it's on to update Love Found. Also, I would like to dedicate this chapter to Natomie 14. If hadn't been for the idea she sent to me, I would've never written this chapter! A big THANK YOU!!! Sayonara!
