The half moon was high in the dark sky with the stars staring down in a clearing where a group stood, awaiting for the battle to come.

"What ever happens tonight, I want all of you to know I enjoyed our time together." Whispered a monk in dark violet robes, staring at the moon in a sad gleam in his eyes yet his facial expression was calm.

"So have I, I want all of you to know that I love all of you like a family." A girl with an outfit not of the time said, staring at the field that is yet been ruined. "I know I don't know much about fighting and my miko powers, but I'll try my best of what I got with me." She looked at everyone and smiled, that has yet to reach her eyes.

"We will all try our best for the battle, for the Shikon jewel. With the time we've been together, I've counted you like my second family. I love you all as well, after the battle, who ever survives I hope you have a long happy life." A girl with a big boomerang hanging from a strap on her shoulder and a fire neko demon at her side said.

"Feh, what is everyone whining about? We haven't even started the battle, and what do you think any of us are going to die? I'm not going to let that happen!" A brash voice yelled at the group. The said voice turned around with a sneer on his face and puppy dog ears drooping on his head, a sure sign of not being sure.

"We are only thinking of the future dear friend." The houshi said, glaring at the hanyou.

"I sense the jewel coming in one way and then two shards to the left of us!" The girl not from the time yelled, warning the gang of the on coming battle.

"I sense a strong and powerful aura coming this way!" The houshi yelled over the loud roaring from the lower class demons.

"Why are they coming?" The hanyou growled out, unsheathing his fathers fang that he won with the battle with his half-brother in they're fathers grave.

"They're not our problems right now! We have a battle to worry about!" The demon slayer yelled towards the hanyou.

As the roaring of warriors came closer two people stepped next to the group, staring at the battle to come. "I wish you luck." The man with long silver hair and golden eyes whispered low, hoping no one could hear him, except for one little miko.

The said miko took a few steps back in shock from hearing his statement. She looked at the others to see if they heard anything from him, they hadn't. She looked back at him and shook her head, marking it as just her imagination.

The first demon attacked the group and instantly disintegrated from an arrow.

After seeing the death of one warrior the rest attacked the group.

As the demon slayer slashed at the low class demons with her boomerang and help of the fire neko, she yelled out over the roaring, "We're out numbered!"

"She's right, there's too many!" The miko yelled out, agreeing with her 'sister'.

"We can fight them! We're not turning back when we're this close to the jewel!" The hanyou yelled back, slashing a demon in half.

When the hanyou turned to fight off another demon, another one went after the distracted miko.

"Kagome," The wolf demon yelled out, but it was too late.

When the miko, known as Kagome, turned around the demon struck her on her left shoulder to her left rib cage.

With Kagome's screams of pain, everyone turned towards her, just when she fell to her knees. Everyone dropped there things and ran towards her, except for one demon staring wide with shock at the miko.

Loosing the one thing that he took special…

The demon slayer hugged Kagome to her chest, begging the gods not to take her. The monk stood there with a single tear falling from his eyes, praying for her restful peace. The hanyou stood above them with a shocked expression, about to a good friend.

"That bastard, is going to pay for what he did Kagome. If it's the – "

A blinding blue light came from Kagome's body, consuming the group. The wind started to pick up, letting the leaves blow around. Another blue light absorbed Kagome's body, building up.

When the group felt the strong power they started to move back from the body.

The light was now more blinding than the other. It flashed and the hold on the power broke. The purification power was released; it flew across the ground, leaving beautiful green grass and colorful flowers in its wake. Once when it reached the demons they disintegrated, leaving black ash blowing in the wind.

Yet, only one stood, the evil half-demon, Naraku.
