Inu Yasha grumbled something that sounded like, "Stupid baka brother. --- Up here for nothing," as they sat in Sesshomaru's study and he rummaged around in the books. He finally found what he was looking for and dropped it onto the desk. He immediately set to flicking through the pages until finding the entry in the journal.
"Um, pardon me, but what is it you are looking for, Sesshomaru?" Leila asked.
"So…" Kagome said teasingly, "You and Sesshomaru are on first name basis already?"
"Shut up, Kagome!" Leila screeched.
Sesshomaru chuckled pleasantly- something rare for him. "I'm looking for the last entry in Inu Yasha's mother's diary. And I found it."
Inu Yasha's ears perked up at the mention of his mother's name. He looked up, interested.
Sesshomaru reads;
'I fear I will not live much longer. I feel evil forces approaching quickly, and with them, my death. My only wish is for both of my sons to end their rivalry and hatred of each other, so that I can have a peaceful Afterlife. Although, somehow I know that will not soon come to pass. It will take many years. Not until they both find happiness. Sesshomaru, Inu Yasha, I know that you will read this, and I just want to say that I love you both, more than life itself, and I would gladly die a thousand deaths, if only to keep you both happy and alive. Farewell, my sons.'
"Do you see now, Inu Yasha? One of the only reasons I haven't killed you is because of this diary entry," Sesshomaru said.
"But that still doesn't explain why you gave Kagome the shards of your own accord?" Miroku said, as Inu Yasha was too- overcome by his emotions- to form coherent thoughts and pass them through his mouth.
"I will tell you exactly what I told her; it was because she is the rightful owner and protector of the Shikon Jewel. Neither you, nor Inu Yasha, nor me have any right to even touch something so pure," Sesshomaru said.
"Okay, I have sat on the sidelines long enough!" Leila said, with a sudden burst of energy, "What is this Shikon Jewel, and why is everyone so worried about it?"
"I take it Grandpa didn't tell you that part of the story? Well, this is part of the Shikon Jewel." She took it out of her blouse. "And it is my job as miko to protect this jewel from falling into the hands of evil. I have two more shards of it, and there are two more still out there. When it is complete, and it's powers are whole, my powers as a miko shall also be complete."
"Oh yeah, speaking of that, here." Inu Yasha thrust two jewel shards into her hands.
Kagome gasped as all four of the shards she had flew into the air and were drawn to the Shikon Jewel. It merged together and Kagome was enveloped in a bright pink light. When it receded, Kagome stood before them, glowing with a pure yet wild and untamed light.
"We did it," she said, "We finally completed the Shikon Jewel!"
"That's the Shikon Jewel? I have something like that. Except for the fact that it's a different color." Leila pulled a small pale crystal blue round jewel out of her pocket. Everybody gasped.
"Wh- what's that?" Inu Yasha exclaimed.

Sorry for the shortness of this chapter. I had to have a cliff hanger!!! Why does Leila have a jewel like Kagome's? Why do I keep adding little twists that screw up my first draft of the story? Why do I keep asking dumb questions? Find out in the next chapter!
