"KIKYOU!" screamed Inuyasha, his half-demon blood pumping through his veins.

"KIKYOU, WHERE ARE YOU?"

Inuyasha had been running for miles on end, searching for the woman who would not stop appearing before him in flashes of light his mind would only see. He was surprised when he found her scent a few miles back and had been going his all ever since, so much so that he hadn't realised that he had left his Tetsuiga back with the others.

Back at the temporary camp, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo were wondering about where Inuyasha had gone to.

Miroku looked deep in thought in the light of the campfire.

"What's wrong Miroku, is something missing?" asked Shippo

Miroku looked up from the fire, "It's not what's missing Shippo, it's what wasn't taken..."

Sango looked puzzled at that statment "What do you mean Miroku?" His face grew dark, "Just look what I found where Inuyasha was before he left to find Kikyou". Out of his robes he drew the sheathed Tetsuiga, watching painfully as the others gasped.

Kagome stood up and covered her mouth as she stepped away from the fire, "But, that's the only thing keeping him from transforming!" she shrieked, "Why didn't you tell us!"

Miroku looked at them with guilt, "It was too late when Inuyasha left and even more so when I found the Tetsuiga, the mountain is crawling with demons now and what's left of it is too unstable to be traversing"

Kagome looked mortified, "But what if he transforms while he's out there? He could be completely taken over by his demon side!"

Kagome broke into tears, and started crying.

Miroku sighed, "I know but were still close enough to the mountain that the Tetsuiga should keep his demon side under control" "We'll have to wait until the morning to look for him, Sango can you take Kagome to her bed?" Sango nodded understandingly.

Miroku turned, "Good, come on Shippo, we need to go to bed too".

As the camp's fire died, Miroku and the others were none the wiser about the event that were soon to unfold on the remains of Mt.Hakurai.

As his hope of finding her started to die, he found her scent again.

'THERE!' Inuyasha thought violently, leaping towards a large collision of stone and earth nearly one hundred feet high, caused by the destruction of Mt.Hakurai.

As he cleared the boulders, Inuyasha landed on a plateau and saw her; the love of his life, kneeling with one arm on her sholder and a broken bow by her side.

Standing in front of her however, was the abomination who had caused them so much pain, laughing away at her.

Naraku smiled, "Kikyou, That hole is your grave!"

Stone spikes lashed out from his had and rushed towards her, with the sole purpose of killing her once and for all.

But then, it happened.

A mass of whilrling teeth and claws launched itself out of the bushes and easily destroyed the spikes, vaporising them to a bloody stump. Naraku held his arm in anguish, not only was a piece of him gone forever, but for some reason he couldn't find the will to regenerate himself a new arm.

He whirled round and caught sight of the beast that had attacked him so ferociously. 'It can't be...' Naraku thought, 'It just isn't possible, how did that half-breed get here so fast?'

Then a more imposing thought hit him as Kikyoucollapsed, slipping in and out of conciousness.

'How did he attack me like that when he doesn't have his Tetsuiga?'

Inuyasha suddenly looked up from the now unconcious Kikyou, staring his now glowing eyes at Naraku's red ones, paralysing him with an emotion he thought he had rid himself of long ago.

Pure and utter fear.
