I DO NOT OWN Inuyasha (Or do I?) and I own nothing else except for this fanfiction…

Okay, my story has a poem at the beginning of each chapter. And another thing is thoughts are in italics. Got it? Okay enjoy.

Fight

Do Not Fear the Darkness

Fear the shadows instead

For they appear even in light

No matter what is wrong or right

They hide within every heart

Slowly tearing you apart

Fear the shadow

It is your foe

But don't run away

You mustn't coward, stay

Try with all your might

Stay and Fight

Slowly she opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around. She lay in her bed, alive. Had it been a dream? How much of it was a dream? The fight, the well, Inuyasha? She slid her feet from the bed and quickly jolted from the bed and shoved a fist into her mouth, allowing only a small whimper to escape her lips. She grabbed her side, it wasn't a dream after all. Suddenly the door opened. Her little brother stood in the doorway.

"Hey sis, glad you're feeling better. If you feel up to it you can come down. Mom's making food soon." Sota turned to leave.

"Sota?" Kagome called.

"Yeah?"

"Um…how did I… get here?" she asked

"Oh Inuyasha brought you back and said a demon had put that hole in your side. Gramps called a doctor and said a bear mauled you. So the Doc came and fixed you up. Glad you are okay now.

"Yeah. Tell mom I'll be right down."

Sota left. Kagome walked slowly to the closet and pulled out a blue kimono patterned with white phoenixes. She quickly slipped it on and tied it in place. Then she put her single jewel shard around her neck. After averting the whimpers of pain she descended the stairs.

She walked past her living room, stopped and walked back. Inuyasha sat beside her Grandpa, playing with Buyo. He looked up.

"Kagome! What're you doing out of bed?" He asked

"Inuyasha! I didn't expect you to still be here. Um, how long have you been here?" Kagome asked.

"Since you've been asleep, that's all."

"And how long have I been sleeping?" Kagome asked.

Grandpa looked up from his newspaper

"You have been asleep for three and a half days' Grandpa said.

"Three and a half days1 I've been asleep here that long… Inuyasha?"

"Huh?" he dropped Buyo, who darted off. Kagome kneeled beside Inuyasha.

"You've been waiting for that long, I'm sorry."

Inuyasha looked up, blushed, then looked away.

"Don't apologize" he muttered "I only stayed here 'cause there's nothing to do back home."

Home Kagome thought to herself. The more I thing about the more I realize I don't have a home. I mean this was her house, but after traveling between this world and the next, It felt as though she didn't have a home, she was torn between the two.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha looked questioningly at her.

"Hm?"

"You really shouldn't be out of bed."

"It's fine" she touched her side rather hard and winced 'is not that bad."

"You're not fooling anybody, go back to bed" Inuyasha commanded.

"I'm kinda hungry though."

"I'll bring you something, now go: Inuyasha said.

"Um…"

"What?!"

"I…uh…don't think I can climb those stairs" Kagome said.

"What?!"

"I'm sorry."

Inuyasha stood and squatted before her. Kagome put her arms around his neck. He grabbed her legs, stood up and carried her up the stairs. Kagome let go of Inuyasha and walked to her bed, sitting down.

"I'll be okay to go tomorrow" Kagome said.

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha sat beside her bed.

"Of course, I feel fine" Kagome insisted.

"Mmhm. Well we'll see how you feel in the morning. You go to sleep now." Inuyasha saw Kagome's look " I'll wake you at dinner."

Kagome laid down and Inuyasha covered her with a blanket.

Meanwhile...

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

"Hirikotsu!" Sango yelled as she threw her weapon at Naraku.

Naraku dodged it and lunged himself at Sango. His sword flew at her but was deflected by Miroku's staff. Miroku pushed Naraku back and deflected Kagura's Dance of Blades. Sango and Miroku stood back to back.

"you okay?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, You?" Sango responded.

"yep. Ready to Fight?"

"you bet I am"

Sango grabbed her Hirikotsu and threw it at Naraku. Kagura pushed it away like a toy. It flew at Miroku and he caught it, tilting back slightly under the weight. Sango took it from him and went to throw it again. But Miroku stopped her and pulled her away from Kagura's blades.

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

Kagome stood up quickly and grabbed her bow and arrows. She ran downstairs, ignoring the pain in her side.

"Inuyasha!" she yelled.

Inuyasha ran from the living room.

"what's wrong, why're you—"

"Naraku's close to the well, I can sense his jewel shards!"

"Kagome" her mom came out "what's wrong?"

"No time to explain, I've got to go back" Kagome ran outside toward the well.

"But Kagome what about you're wound?!" her mom called.

But it was too late. They were gone.

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

Miroku was down. Sango blocked one blade while another grazed her leg. She fell. Naraku was on top of her now. He raised his sword.

Suddenly Kagome jumped in front of Naraku and pushed him away with her bow. She grabbed an arrow and shot it at Naraku. It pierced his arm.

"You wench!" he yelled running toward Kagome. Inuyasha jumped at him striking him with the Tetseiga. Kagura Did her Dance of Blades toward Inuyasha. He couldn't block it or move. Seconds later, it hit.

But not him.
