InuYasha's P.O.V

I felt it come forward as a wave of anger took me under. No. Not now, Kagome needed me, and that was exactly what my demon side was telling me. That ox demon from the main land had seemed easy enough to defeat, but that was before it took an in-heat Kagome in his arms and pressed his foul lips to hers, muffling her scream of terror. I was going to transform, let the demon side of me out,

"I can stop it!" Only the monk beside me heard my raspy on-edge voice, or at least responded.

"No, InuYasha! Hold it in!" But I was long gone…

I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Normal P.O.V

Kagome's eyes widened. Even from the distance the demon held her from InuYasha, she could see purple markings on his face appear and then become bolder and more apparent. She held back the tears forming in her chocolate eyes.

"InuYasha! NO, don't do it! Don't transform!" (1) InuYasha was visibly fighting it….and losing. His whole body shook from pain and anger. In an instant he was at the demon's side and Kagome could see that his eyes had gone from their controlled amber hue, to a blood thirsty red. She opened her mouth to speak, but the demon that held her captive beat her.

"WHAT THE...!" InuYasha had killed him before he could even complete his sentence, catching Kagome as the dead demon fell first to his knees and then to the ground. With a sigh InuYasha's markings started to fade until he inhaled Kagome's heated scent. Startled Kagome quickly realized what was wrong.

"InuYasha…" She began in a shaky voice, "put me down please." But he ignored her request and took of running faster than his normal speed. Miroku grinned.

"Tsk tsk InuYasha, not until after marriage!" He received a firm slap by the demon slayer beside him. "Sango, I was just lightening the situation!" He tried slightly laughing while rubbing his red cheek.

"Save it Miroku!" Sango spat angrily, she was really concerned about Kagome. "Kilala!" Instantly the two tail came to her side and transformed. "Miroku get on. We are going to follow them."

"Right." He agreed, suddenly using a very serious tone.

InuYasha finally stopped running and looked at Kagome with something between lust and love in his eyes (A/N: I just can't seem to stand making him 100 evil!) He received a firm slap to which he just growled.

I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Kagome's P.O.V

Kagome turned her head and braced herself for the worst while she thought. Suddenly a plan jumped into her head, it was risky but what isn't in the feudal era?' She turned back to face InuYasha a soft, caring, and almost regretful look graced her features. His hold relaxed a little. Gosh, he's actually falling for it! No wonder they cast me in the lead role for the play back home, I'm good! Not yet Kagome, you're not out of the woods yet.' She reached her hand up to brush his cheek and started to lift her head to his; in his surprise at her boldness he did not see a pink aura form around her hand. As her hand gently touched his cheek she let out her powers of purification. Kilala and her passengers arrived to see that InuYasha was a half demon once again.

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell

A week later, back at Kaede's village:

Kagome found a depressed hanyou sitting on a branch of the tree of ages.

"InuYasha"

"What?" He answered, his tone bitter.

"Will you come down and talk to me. You've been up there all week!"

"That's not true!"

"Alright, fine, you came down for ramen last night, but still."

"Feh" he replied though he jumped down from the tall branch, landing about a foot away from Kagome.

"That's better. Now, are you still upset about what happened when you were in demon form?" InuYasha turned his head, grimacing.

"I almost hurt you Kagome, and I couldn't help what I had become. The worst thing is that it could happen again" he paused, "and I might not fall for the purification thing again."

"We'll think of something, but for now come on." With that Kagome gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before grabbing his hand to lead him back to the village.

A/N: That wasn't one of my favs but it's okay. Please review! Thanks of reading!
