Well since you guys liked it so much-I'll give you two more chapters!

When Kagome awoke, she lay in darkness. Blinking, she picked herself up and found that she was unbearably cold. Had they put her back in the dungeon? She didn't know at the moment, but her head was pounding and her mind, fuzzy. She groaned, feeling a stinging pain in her wrist, but it didn't hurt as bad as it had when Vain had given it to her. Kagome looked around, what had happened when she had gone to Sesshomaru?

Kagome couldn't remember, it was just a blur. For a few moments, Kagome sat there, raking her mind for anything that might help her. Inuyasha. A sword through his chest, falling to the ground, gasping…yelling…"Kagome…Sesshomaru" Crying…cut…bound…escaping…Fang…Sesshomaru! The silver liquid! A sharp pain in her throat…her dizziness…and then the black out… That was what Kagome remembered. Tears had welled up in her eyes as she thought of Inuyasha dying. Kagome knew for certain, that if she ever escaped, Sesshomaru would be the first she killed or she would be killed.

Scraping her claws on the cold, damp cement, she glared at the ground. Wait a minute! Claws! Where had they come from?

Kagome held her hands up to her face, and saw long claws on her fingers. Gasping with surprise, she looked at herself and saw nothing different, except she felt…when Kagome first checked herself for ears she nearly screamed out in terror, but she knew she had been turned into half-demon!

If that was true, then maybe she had something like the strength of a demon…or Inuyasha. Standing up through the darkness, she stepped towards the bars on her dungeon cell and swept her claws confidently across the medal. With a loud clanging noise, shards of medal fell to the hard ground. Grinning, Kagome leapt over the bars and quicker than she ever had before, raced out of the dungeon, and silently, she made her way passed the guards just as she had last time and slipped off towards the gates, sunlight pouring on her. How long had she been out? She didn't know, and nor did she care.

Kagome waited for her chance to escape as the guards stood by the gate, but they were talking, not paying any attention. Now was her chance. Swift as Inuyasha, she raced out of the fort and into the wilderness. "What the-?" she heard one of the guards gasp. She didn't stick around, instead, Kagome made her way through the forest, far away from the fort. She wasn't going to get caught again.

Slowing down, she found that a great amount of strength had been zapped from her, and so she laid down by a tree, leaning against its trunk, and falling asleep. In her dreams, she saw what had haunted her since it happened.

Kagome stood next to Inuyasha, just speaking with him, the others were no where to be found. "So where do you think Shippo might have gone to?" she asked him. Everyone had split up after they had gotten the last shard and Naraku dead. No one had used the jewel just yet, and so, it was hanging around Kagome's neck just as it had been the first day she had met Inuyasha.

"Probably out trying to find someone else to annoy." he answered bluntly.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome scoffed.

"Hey, when are you going to take these beads off, anyhow?" Inuyasha growled.

"I'm not." She replied icily.

"Kagome! Why not?"

"Be-" suddenly the forest fell silent and the trees swayed uneasily. The bushes rustled right in front of them, and at that very moment, a sword came flying out of them, finding Inuyasha's chest. The blade pierced his lungs and he gave a loud gasp, "Kagome! It's Sesshomaru! Run! Run Kagome before he gets you too!" and then blood came out of his mouth as he died.

"Inuyasha! No!" Kagome yelled.

"I-I always…loved you…" he managed before his eyes closed, he swayed, and fell on the grass, dead.

"That worthless half-breed always had a soft-spot for humans, but now he is dead. Good riddance! And you, Kagome, shall be next!" came the horrifying voice of Sesshomaru.

"No!" Kagome yelled, fleeing reluctantly. "Sesshomaru! I'll kill you!" she promised to herself.

Kagome bolted awake, her eyes wide. "No…" she whispered. The memory was still fresh. It only happened thirteen days ago. Kagome stood, unable to sleep, and continued on her way with new strength. With nothing to use as a weapon expect her claws, she carried on, anger filling her body and spirit. She would find Inuyasha and put him to rest properly before she did anything else!

With the sun setting on her face, picking her way through the forest, Kagome neared the place where Inuyasha had been slain. Scenting the air, she smelled death, she also smelled Inuyasha. He was still there, that was good, sort of. Stepping out of the trees, she came upon his lifeless form. Inuyasha's eyes were unfocused and dead looking.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome breathed, bending down in front of him and dropping to her knees. She still had the Shikion No Tama. Was it possible to bring him back to life? But he's with Kikyo now, he's happy. She told herself unwillingly. No. Kikyo hated him, right? It only pleased her that he was dead, right? Right! She argued. Ripping the jewel from her neck, she clutched it with such fierceness that her palm turned white.

"Inuyasha…I want you to live." She whispered, placing the jewel on his wound, or beside it. It had magical powers, something should happen, right? But nothing happened, so Kagome clutched the handle of the sword and pulled it out, tears streaming down her face as she did so. The sword came loose and she threw it to the side, her eyes closed. Her unhappiness was sensed throughout the forest, because it had gone quiet like the day Inuyasha had died, but this quietness had an aura of deep sadness around it.

Standing up, she grabbed the jewel, her eyes red and wet. "Damn jewel! It didn't work…" she moaned. Slinging it into the bushes, she saw it start to glow and harsh red as it flew through the air, and then it stopped in mid-air glowing with the red light.

Suddenly it started to pulse for a few seconds, before vanishing, like it had denigrated. "What," she whispered "happened?"

At her very words, she heard a heavy groan behind her. Kagome spun around, her eyes scanning the forest. Through her grief and shock, she hadn't noticed the scent of death had vanished. She hadn't heard the heartbeats that she now heard. Finding nothing in the forest, she looked down at her feet and saw Inuyasha's eyes flutter open.

"Inuyasha!" she gasped in joy and amazement. "You're alive!"

"Who are you?' Inuyasha asked, peering up at her and then jumping to his feet as if nothing had happened.

"You mean-" Suddenly Kagome remembered. That liquid, Sesshomaru had diagnosed her with it, that was why she was half-demon. "Damn that Sesshomaru!" she flustered.

"Huh? K-Kagome? What happened to you?" Inuyasha asked blankly. "Sesshomaru didn't catch you did he? Why aren't you dead?"

"Because, Inuyasha, he took me and was going to kill me, but I escaped. He caught me again with one of those stupid dogs of his and then I was taken to him. He gave me two choices. 1. To be killed. 2. To be diagnosed with a silver liquid. I didn't know what it was, and neither did he. I chose death, but apparently, that wasn't an option for him. He stabbed the needle into my throat. And then I woke up and found myself like this…"

"I'll kill him!" Inuyasha snarled.

"That's what I said." Kagome cried and then, without realizing what she was doing, hugged Inuyasha, crying. "I'm so glad you're alive!" she gasped.

Inuyasha didn't have the heart to pull away, so he let her hug him, and he hugged her back, but only for a few seconds before letting go. "Thanks for bringing me back." he muttered.

"I couldn't have lived with you dead." Kagome whispered, backing away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked at her for a moment, observing her claws and black hair and ears. "Kagome," he said, "do you know how to use any demon powers yet?"

"No. I just found out about them today, because I was diagnosed yesterday." she explained.

"I see. Well lets get to work. We have to find the others so we can kill Sesshomaru's forces and then him." Inuyasha ordered.

"Right."

"But first, you need a sword." Inuyasha told her, heading off towards the east. Kagome knew where they were going. They were going to see Totosi, the swords smith who forged Inuyasha's sword, Tetseiga. Kagome felt that she didn't need a sword, seeing as she could use a bow, but Inuyasha was right. What would happen if she didn't have any arrows left, or even a bow at the time? And what good would a bow be for a close combat battle that she knew they would be in?

Nodding, Kagome began to follow Inuyasha. After they had gotten a sword, both of them would hunt down Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara, who was always with Sango anyhow. Trekking through the forest with Inuyasha, knowing that he was alive and she was out of that horrible place, made any bad thoughts or painful ones Kagome might have been thinking of, vanish. But then her mind wandered to everyone else.

Was Shippo okay? After all he was the smallest and not the strongest out of all of them. He was also the most scared one. Could he have been caught by another demon…and killed? Kagome hoped not. And what of Sango? Was she with her brother, Kohaku again? And Miroku? He said he liked to travel alone, but without his Wind Tunnel, and only his staff and spiritual powers, could he ward off any amount of demons that they had ever faced, again? Maybe not.

"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha called, "what happened to the jewel when you used it?"

'It vanished, why?" Kagome asked suspiciously.

"Just wondering. I never knew it could bring back a life." Inuyasha said.

Suddenly Kagome knew why he had asked. He thought he could bring back Kikyo! "So you were thinking you could bring back Kikyo, right?"

Inuyasha looked at her with a startled look. "No, her soul is in you, duh you stupid idiot!" she snapped.

"Oh, well then why did you ask?"

"No reason." Inuyasha growled, waving her off.

"Come on, tell me!" Kagome insisted.

"I don't have anything to say, I was just wondering!" Inuyasha snarled.

Kagome was silenced then, and just continued their journey in silence. As she walked, she thought back to the day she had first seen Inuyasha. He looked as if he had been sleeping instead of dead, but that very same day, a centipede attacked the village Kagome had been staying in, in feudal Japan. Kagome had somehow broken the spell put on Inuyasha, he had then believed she was Kikyo for a while before she convinced him. After she had pulled the arrow out of his chest, Inuyasha's mood turned to her, as if he had gone crazy. He had started laughing before killing, no, demolishing the centipede. Then he had tried to kill her until Keada had put a special necklace on him that subdued him whenever Kagome said 'sit'.

After about an hour of walking in silence, Kagome finally spoke, "Inuyasha. Tell me something,"

"What?"

"Did you really mean what you said as you were dying that day?"

Inuyasha didn't answer for a few minutes and Kagome thought that he'd ignored her, but then he turned to her and nodded. Kagome just looked away, unable to believe that Inuyasha would admit it. Of course she had always thought that Inuyasha just saw Kikyo in her, but yes, Kagome did like Inuyasha…a lot. She liked him more than Hojo, she didn't really love Hojo, though he liked her. Hojo was a boy from her time always asking her out and giving her things for her sickness.

They didn't speak again until they reached the spot where Totosi resided. Entering his forging area, Inuyasha walked up to Totosi, who looked up and asked, "What might you be doing here?"

"We need a powerful sword. Not an evil demon sword, just a demon sword that Kagome can wield." Inuyasha explained.

"But Kagome is human."

"Look again."

Totosi took a look at Kagome and drew back in shock. "Tell me, girl, what happened to you?"

"Sesshomaru. He injected me with something. I suspect that that damn idiot thought in was poison!" Kagome suddenly snarled.

"Perhaps. Now, what am I to forge the sword out of?" Totosi asked.

"Something that will give the sword a lot of power, similar to my Tetseiga." Inuyasha growled.

"Hmm…It might be possible. All right I'll find something. Come back in a few days, four is the most."

"Well four is all I'm giving you!" Inuyasha told him bluntly. "Come on Kagome."

Kagome nodded and followed Inuyasha outside of the burning hot place. "Now to find the others." She said.

"No! We camp out for four days because it could take forever to find the others!" Inuyasha argued.

"All right, but I'm not staying another night here with those hounds after me! I'll go to my own era!" Kagome growled.

"Hounds? Do you really think they'll recognize your scent after you changed into a half-demon?"

"Yes! Considering that I was lying there all night long!"

"Good point-okay but only for a few days, but how do you suppose you'll hide your demon looks?" Inuyasha asked smartly.

"A hat."

"That's really going to change the color of your eyes-right Kagome!"

"I'll say I have colored contacts!" she growled. Inuyasha just sighed and finally gave up on the subject.
