Hi to all of you who have stumbled upon this fanfiction, Empty World. I
will just like to say that I do not own Inu-Yasha or any of its characters;
I wish I do, but alas, I don't. Yet. Please try to bear with me, it may
take a while for me to update and some of the chapters may be short. Flames
are accepted just as long as there is some point to all the rants, I'm cool
with them. See, I'm a nice person! ( Please enjoy and don't forget to
review!

Kagome watched anxiously as Inuyasha fought against Gaidoku, yet another twisted incarnation of Naraku. He/it was similar to Goshinki in body type: large and lizard-like with massive claws and blood hungry red eyes. But this one wasn't a mind reader like his deceased brethren. No, this one could melt away at the ground every time he tore at it with his talons, filling the air with noxious gases as soil flew everywhere.
Miroku had set up a protective barrier around himself, Sango, Shippo and Kagome while Inuyasha, the only one able to stand up to the poison, fought. It was slowly deteriorating however. The venomous vapor ate at it like acid making the monk worry how long the shield would hold.
Inuyasha was having his own problems. He was bleeding heavily from a chest wound where the pain from the poison had already wormed itself through, making a nauseous feeling churn in his stomach and his head pound. The Tetsusaiga was out, but he could never find a chance to use one of its deadly techniques. Godaiku moved as fast as Goshinki making the wind scar disappear as soon as he found it. The backlash wave too was becoming impossible to execute. Mainly for the same reason he couldn't do the wind scar. The demon moved with such quick, fluid movements, he might as well had been able to read the hanyou's mind.
Godaiku stepped back from a panting Inuyasha to laugh. "Don't tell me thisssss isssss the sssssame Inuyasha that ssssslaughtered my kin." He spoke with a bone chilling, hissing voice. "I expected more." He turned to face the three humans and foxchild, all who where doing their best to stay conscious as the venomous air seeped through the thinning shield, smothering them. "What a pity it isssss that you will have to watch your friendsssss die, after you did ssssso much to protect them."
"You bastard!" Inuyasha choked out. Countless demons in the past had used this threat, but now, Inuyasha was afraid that this one might be able to follow through with it. He fell to his knees, trying to take in a breath and ended up coughing up blood. He staggered to his feet, clutching Tetsusaiga's hilt to balance himself. "I won't let you!"
"I doubt that what you ssssspeak can be done." Whispered Godaiku as he advanced on the waning humans.
'Have to do something.' Thought Kagome faintly, drawing out an arrow and knocking it in her bow. Sango readied her hiraikotsu with an arm that shook with fatigue from the lack of clean air. Miroku tugged at his prayer beads in a threateningly sort of way. He was willing to let the hellhole in his hand consume every drop of venom in this field, as long as it would slay this monster. Even Shippo tried to stand up tall, threatening the towering demon with a fist full of fox fire. 'We gotta make a stand, now if ever.'
But Gaidoku attacked first, putting all of their efforts to fend him off to waste. In a large sweep of his clawed hand, he shattered Miroku's barrier. Even Kagome, who usually was immune to such things, sank to her knees with weakness as the noxious air filled her lungs. 'Can't breathe.' Her head was spinning. 'Can't die here.'
"How about I ssssslay the reincarnation firssssst?"
Something sharp tore across her face and chest as Godaiku attacked the defenseless girl. Blackness consumed her mind as pain seared through her.
"KAGOME!"

When Kagome's mind slowly swam back into consciousness, everything was silent. 'Am I dead? No, I hurt too much to be dead.' She groaned as she tried to move her protesting body. 'Is it over then?'
"Inuyasha?" she called. Silence. "Inuyasha!" Still nothing. The only answer she got was the sound of wind making an almost echoing, eerie sound as it blew across the field. She was alone. 'No, dammit no. He can't be dead. He just can't be.'
Trying to suppress a wave of tears, Kagome tried to open her eyes. She had kept the shut tight for fear of what she might see. But nothing happened. The world remained as black as a moonless, starless night. 'What? What's going on? This has got to be a dream. A really, really bad dream.' She tried again. A mourning dove's gentle call told her that it was indeed day time, but as far as Kagome could tell, the sun had disappeared. She was blind.
