Naraku laughed. It was a vile sound, filled with insanity and cruelty. He had done it! He, a mere hanyou, had succeeded where so many youkai had failed; he had completed the Shikon no Tama. He had taken Kohaku's Light, the last shard of the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls, just minutes ago. He had relished the look on Sango's face, that much InuYasha could tell with a single glare.

InuYasha growled. He had never felt so furious. He could only stand and watch: Kagome had made that much clear with the muttered command she gave all of them.

"Stand back. I'm going to wait for an opening… don't interfere." She had snarled. No one dared defy her, because when she was this angry, she was scarier than all the demons they had faced on their search for the Jewel combined.

"Do you fear me, Kami?" Naraku yelled to the heavens. "I, Naraku, wielder of the Shikon no Tama? Then, strike down with a lightning bolt of despair!" Laughing, he held out the completed and defiled Jewel for the Kami to witness, and—

The same unusual battle cry used so many times before sounded. "Hit the MARK!" Kagome shouted. Her purifying arrow hit the Jewel, shattering it. It didn't completely destroy the Jewel, like the Inu-group had hoped, but it didn't launch the shards all across Feudal Japan, like it had before either. The shards fell in a sort of swirling pattern around Naraku, except one. That one, lone shard got trapped in his heart. He screamed, and was purified once and for all.

The Inu-group cheered. Miroku's Wind-Tunnel vanished…

But something was wrong. InuYasha could sense it, and clearly Kirara (who had been off guarding Shippo,) could sense it too. She was on edge. The Jewel shards were radiating power. Instead of the normal pink power, however, this power was all shades of green, and it was forming a strange pattern.

Suddenly, the pattern, which had been forming strange swirls, became a roaring whirlpool-like portal. InuYasha felt himself being pulled in. He struggled, his claws tearing into the ground, but it was to no effect. As he was pulled through the green portal, he saw the world fade. He couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. All he could do is watch and listen to Kagome's screams for him.

Danny Fenton, now in full-on ghost form, fought against Clemper's vice-like grip. His best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley watched. They could've tried to help, but no, they were having too much fun watching Danny suffer. It was, after all, a product of HIS idea.

"Ugh! Ow! Get OFF me, Clemper!" Danny yelped. This ghost was going to be a pain… again...

"But…I just want to be your friend!" Clemper protested, wrestling Danny in a futile attempt to get a hug. Danny obviously didn't want a hug, nor did he want Clemper to be his friend, but he remained blissfully ignorant of this fact. "Will someone please remind me why this was a good idea?" Danny growled.

"Hey," Sam replied defensively."You're the one who wanted to make a map of the Ghost Zone-"

"And you're also the only one who doesn't have to wear these stupid Fenton Phones." Tucker grumbled. He hated those dumb things. At least they were good for something…

Tucker hit they "play" button on his PDA. Less than a second later, Ember McLain's song Remember blared in the Fenton Phones. Sam didn't seem exactly happy about that, but Tucker didn't notice."Good thing they also work as wireless earphones, because these things are a fashion don't."He said.

"They're not supposed to look good.-ugh-They're supposed to filter out spectral noise so we can communicate,-gah-like when I say things like HELP GET THIS THING OFF ME!"Danny yelled. Sam brushed her hair away from her ear, inspecting the Fenton Phones thoughtfully."I don't know," She said. "I think they make great techno-Goth earrings…"

Danny looked up at her. "Really? Maybe I should give a pair to Paulina…" He thought aloud.

At this, Sam looked scandalized. "Yes, Danny." She hissed angrily. "That's what I'm saying. Give a pair to Paulina."

The subject of her annoyance wasn't paying attention, however. Danny had just escaped Clemper's death-hug and he was flying away as fast as he could. Clemper, in a desperate attempt to re-capture Danny, grabbed Danny's hand in both of his. Danny came to a halt, the look on his face showing his thoughts (namely: WHAT THE-?') quite well. He pulled away at top speed. Clemper breathed a cloud of ice-breath at Danny. It hit him full on, but he destroyed the ice that had encased him using his Ghost-ray. He glared at Clemper and noticed the refrigerator/freezer door behind him. 'Perfect.' He thought. If that wouldn't imprison Clemper (Danny hadn't brought the Fenton thermos: it would be kind of pointless to catch a ghost in that thing while in the Ghost Zone.) then nothing would.

Danny flew toward the door and thrust it open. Clemper didn't even have time to hit the brakes before he fell through the portal and onto the snowy ground. Clemper looked up and saw a cute little penguin. What a wonderful friend a penguin would make! He looked up happily and asked his favorite question:"Will you be my friend?" with an innocent smile on his face. The penguin, however, was rather freaked out, and waddled off quickly, as if to say, "Creeper alert. Creeper alert. All penguins evacuate the premises immediately!"

Tucker had noticed none of this. He hadn't noticed it when Danny blasted off the handle to the portal door. He wasn't even paying any attention when Sam suddenly screamed, "Danny! LOOK!" and pointed at what looked like a boy's unconscious body almost floated past them. He didn't hear Danny call, "I've got him. He looks alright. I think he's alive…"

"And? What else?" Sam asked slowly.

"Sam…Sam, he's not human."

"You just said he's alive!"

"He is, Sam. The thing is…"

"WHAT IS IT? The suspense is killing me here!"

"Sam, he's got white dog ears on top of his head, but no human ears, and he's still breathing. He isn't a ghost, or a halfa like me, but… We'll ask him later. First, we have to get him to Fenton Works."

All this, and Tucker heard none of it. He was too engrossed in his song to hear anything else.
