Part 2-Sesshoumaro's Attack

Inu and Kagome were left alone. They both had stayed, glaring at the place where Kit and Inuyasha had disappeared to.

"How dare they!" Kagome said, crossing her arms over his chest.

"Feh! How could she leave me alone like that? NOW how am I going to fight off demons who are after me?" Inu stuck out his tongue to where Kit had disappeared. "That's right! Run off like you always do! Who needs you!"

Kagome looked at Inu. He was hurt that Kit left like that. She could hear it in his voice.

"It's ok. They always come back. They just need to let out a little steam. Besides, they can't find the jewel shards without us.. right?"

Inu nodded. "Yeah. Only I can sence the shards. I wonder how long we will last without them here."

"Good point."

"You know, you can call me Inu. It's sort of my nick name. Everyone at school just calls me Inu."

"Cool. Inuyasha gets mad when I call him that."

"yeah well, it's like being called 'Dog' all day."

Kagome giggled. Inu smirked. He kinda liked this Kagome. She was more down to earth and more like... him. His Kagome, she was a wild one! She always sneered, smirked, growled, grumbled and insaulted him.

"Hey. Does your Kagome insault you?"

"yeah. She calls me 'Twit' most of the time."

"Inuyasha usually calls me 'Wench'."

"Yeah. i know how you feel."

Kagome smiled up at him and he smiled back. Then Sango came running up to them.

"hey Inuyasha, Kagome!"

Shippo was on her shoulder. he jumped off and onto Inu's head.

"hey! Where did your doggy ears go? And your claws? It isn't a new moon tonight." Shippo questioned.

"I don't think so, Shippo. I'm just an Inuyasha from a different world that's all. I'm full human."

Sango looked at him, then at Kagome to confirm it.

"Is this true?"

"Yep. Him and a Hayou version of my jumped out the well. Then, when we 'sat' them for being rude, they ran off."

"Figures. Now we have to deal with two Hayous! This day just gets better and better."

"What do you mean Sango?" Kagome questioned.

"Oh I didn't tell you? Sesshoumaro is chasing us. That's why we were running. Miruko is tring to deal with him but.."

"uh oh!" Kagome said. "I feel Miruko too. He's running. he probably thinks Inuyasha is here!"

"That's bad. Wait.. who is Sesshoumaro?" Inu questioned.

"You don't have him in your time?"

Inu shook his head.

"Lucky you." They all said at the same time. Inu smirked. Shippo tightened his hold on Inu.

"he's coming!"

Inu looked up and saw Miruko jumped beside him. Miruko was panting for air.

"He's all yours Inuyasha. I can't take another blow form him."

Inu raised an eyebrow. Miruko finally got a good look at him. He gasped.

"You're not Inuyasha! What happened?"

"Long story." Inu said. They all watched as Sesshoumaro landed less then fifty feet away from them.

"Inuyasha. You're human. So this is the time when you turn full human. Now, hand over the sword."

Inu took a step back. He could feel the power that Sesshoumaro had. It was incredible! How could anyone ever defeat him?

Inu tired to think as quickly as possible. He grabbed Kagome's bow and an arrow. He loaded it and pointed it to Sesshoumaro.

"Don't take another step. I may not be half demon right now, but I still have enough power to defeat you Sesshoumaru!" Inu growled. If Sesshoumaro thought he was a half demon, then maybe he could bluff he way out of this fight, or until his Kagome decided to show her face.

"You should know better then to think an arrow could stop me."

Sesshoumaro charged. Even though he was moving very fast, Inu could see him. Strange enough, he could.

'This has never happened before.' Inu thought, but didn't question it any further. Right now, staying a live was the most important thing.

He aimed for his chest and let go of the arrow. It went straight to it's target, then Sesshoumaru tired to caught it. It burned through his hands and hit it's target.

"YES!" Inu shouted. Kagome had seen it too. She was shocked. Miruko couldn't see Sesshoumaro's movements, but saw what happened and saw the arrow pass through his hands and hit his chest.

Shippo smiled. "You did it Inu!"

The arrow continued to burn through, then stopped. Sesshoumaro grabbed it and broke it in two. Inu's face fell.

"You're stronger then I expected, but not strong enough to defeat me Inuyasha. Now say goodbye."

Sesshoumaro attacked. Inu didn't have enough time to dodge. He wasn't as fast as his hayou counterpart. He was struck in the chest with Sesshoumaro's claws.

It ripped through his clothes and deep into his chest. Inu screamed out in pain as he flew back and hit a tree. He sunk down into a sitting position and his head looking down. Blood flowed freeing from the wound and onto the ground. It soaked into his shit and pants. The grass below him was stained in blood. He gasped from air.

'This is how it ends? I'm going to die in an era and a world away from my family. I will never see anyone ever again. Never be able to tell them how much I loved them. This is how it all ends. the hunt for the shard, meeting Shippo, Sango, Miruko and... Kagome.. Then out counterparts here,, in this world. I wish.. I could alteast see Kagome again before I die...' Inu thought.

He felt tears sweal up in his eyes. He would never imagine this is how his life ends. He always thought that he would die in a nice warm bed surrounded by the ones he loves. His grandchildern and childern. He always wanted to have kids. Each of them would have cute dog ears, just like Kagome..

Inu pushed himself into a standing position. He wasn't going to give up. Not now. Not ever!

"So Inuyasha. You're back for more."

"Bring it on Sesshoumaru! I can take anything you dish out!" Inu yelled looking hatefully at him. 'I don't care if i die, but I'm not going out without a fight!'
