Chapter 6

Possessed

"C-can't… m-move" Andrew said quietly. He started falling forward; luckily Sango grabbed him before he hit the ground.

"Kagome, you have to hurry! I don't want him to end up like my brother!" Sango yelled.

"Ok, I'll just use a sacred arrow to break the barrier then get the jewel shard out." Kagome said grabbing an arrow. She prepared to slam the arrow into the barrier; Andrew's hand smacked it out of her hand. Andrew slowly stood up, eyes with the blankest expression.

"Oh no, it's to late" Sango gasped. Everyone slowly walked backwards away from Andrew.

"Andrew?" Shippo asked. Andrew stood up firmly.

"Andrew isn't in right now, heh heh" Andrew said with a voice unlike his own.

"Naraku!" Inuyasha said angrily, unsheathing his sword and transforming it.

"Inuyasha don't! You can't attack him!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha growled.

"Yes Inuyasha, don't attack me" Andrew said evilly. Andrew went after Inuyasha, trying to slash Inuyasha with his claws. Inuyasha deflected each attack with his Tessaiga, knowing he couldn't attack back.

"Kagome, hurry up and fire an arrow to break the barrier!" Inuyasha yelled, still deflecting attacks.

"I can't, my arrow could seriously injure him, or even kill him." Kagome yelled back.

"We have to do something" Inuyasha said." I can't hold him off forever."

"I have an idea" Miroku said going over to Kagome. "Kagome, what if we had a bead necklace on Andrew? You could make him 'sit' than we could hold him down."

"That just might work!" Kagome said while running over to Shippo."Shippo, I need you and Kirara to go back to the village. Ask kaede for a bead necklace like Inuyasha's, make sure she puts the incantation on it, ok?"

"Ok Kagome. C'mon Kirara." Shippo said while hopping onto Kirara. Kirara took off in the sky back towards the village.

"I hope they get back in time, Inuyasha can't hold him off forever" Sango said with a worried look.

Andrew swung his leg and kicked Inuyasha in the leg, causing him to fall. Andrew Brought his hand down to punch Inuyasha, but he brought his sword up just in time to block the attack. Sango threw her Hiraikotsu, hitting Andrew in the side, sending him flying into the ground.

"Sango! What did you do that for?" Kagome nearly yelled.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I thought he would dodge it" Sango explained. "At least he isn't attacking anymore."

"I think you knocked him out. I better use this time wisely" Miroku said walking over to the fallen Andrew. He pulled out some pieces of paper with writing on them and started laying they out in a circle around Andrew.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm going to make a small barrier; it'll help contain him when he wakes up." Miroku said laying down the last one."Here goes" Miroku said, putting his hands together and doing a prayer. A pinkish barrier went up around Andrew. "There, that should hold him for awhile."

"Good going Miroku, that should give us enough time for Shippo and Kirara to get back" said Kagome cheerfully.

10 seconds passed before Andrew woke up. Of course he started to attack the barrier, with Miroku near to help keep the barrier stable.

"I won't be able to hold off much longer, the barrier is weakening" Miroku said. I roar came from the sky; Kirara came into view with Shippo on her back. Kirara land and Shippo hopped off.

"I got it!" Shippo said proudly holding up a necklace identical to Inuyasha's.

"Good job Shippo" Kagome aid taking the necklace. "Miroku let down the barrier, and Inuyasha grab Andrew and hold him down." They both nodded in agreement, and Miroku let the barrier down. Inuyasha Jumped on top of Andrew holding him down. Kagome ran over and knelt down beside Andrew's head.

"I hope this works" Kagome said while putting the necklace around Andrew's neck. "Ok you can get off of him now" Kagome said walking away. Inuyasha Jumped back away and Andrew stood up. "Sit boy!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha and Andrew both fell hard into the earth.

"Kagome, what the hell was that for!" Inuyasha yelled standing up.

"Ugghh…why does my head hurt so much…" I groaned, standing up a bit wobbly. (A/N going back to 1st person view.) "I feel dizzy…" I said before sitting onto the ground.

"I need you to hold still while I get the shard out" Kagome explained. She grabbed an arrow, and pointed it at the barrier around the shard. She pushed the arrow into the barrier and broke it, then grabbed the sacred jewel shard. It felt like a great source of energy left me when the shard was taken out, and I felt a wave of fatigue wash over me. I fell forward onto my stomach.

"I'm really getting tired of passing out all the time" I said tiredly before the darkness took hold.

Kaede's Hut

I yawned and opened my eyes. Kirara was laying on me, and gave me a peaceful 'mew'. I petted her for a couple minutes before realizing we were the only ones in the hut. "Where is everyone Kirara?" I asked the cute cat demon. Kirara jumped off of me and walked towards the hut entrance and look back at me. "There outside? Ok thanks" I said with a smile, I got up and we left the hut.

Once outside I saw Sango sharpening her Hiraikotsu, Shippo watching a caterpillar, and Miroku was sitting near a tree.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I said walking towards them.

"Andrew!" They said in unison, walking over to me.

"How are you feeling?" Sango asked me.

"I feel fine" I said. "Hey, where is Kagome and Inuyasha?"

"They went back to your time" Miroku answered.

"With out me? I need to go back and… somehow explain this to my parents" I said in deep thought. How was I going to explain this to them?

"Then just go, you came through the well right? Can't you just go back like Kagome and Inuyasha do?" Shippo said looking up at me.

"I guess I can. I guess I should go; my parents are probably worried sick about me."I explained. "I have some questions though."

"What is it?" Sango asked.

"What happened to me? I passed out, and had a crazy nightmare… like I was attacking Inuyasha but I had no control over my actions. The next thing I knew I was on the ground, passing out again." I asked with a worried look.

Sango turned away from me, and I could see tears coming to her eyes. Then she ran off back into the hut.

I started going after her to apologize for something I had said, when Miroku grabbed my shoulder.

"I think it's best if Kagome tells you" he told me with an expressionless face.

"Alright, will you make sure she's ok though? I feel like I did something wrong…" I said somberly.

"Of course" Miroku said before going into the hut.

"Hey, uh, Shippo. You wouldn't happen to know where the well was, would ya?" I asked nervously.

After a short explanation of where to go to reach the well, I said goodbye and I made my way to the well.

"Here I am" I said looking down the well. "I hope this works" I said as I jumped in seeing a flash of light. I landed on the bottom, not having much trouble sticking the landing. Looks like it didn't work… I jumped up out of the well and saw I was in the well house. It did work! I better go see Kagome so she knows I'm ok, as I made my way outside.

I walked to the front door and knocked. A little boy, who I assumed was Kagome's younger brother, answered the door.

"You must be Kagome's friend" he said.

"What makes you say that?"

"Because you're a demon right?" He asked.

"I suppose so…"

"Come in, Kagome is upstairs" He said opening the door for me to come in.

I could not have taken 5 steps before a woman, who I assumed was Kagome's mom, walked in.

"Who's at the door Sota?" She asked. "Oh you must be Kagome's friend."

Jeez, does her whole family already know about this? They act so casual about it; I hope my parents would be the same.

"You have ears like Inuyasha's" she said as she stepped forward and started rubbing them. Oh man that felt good. "They're even softer than his, and look at your cute tail!"

What was that noise… was I… purring?

"You even purr! You must be a cat demon, I always did prefer cats than dogs." she said still rubbing my ears.

"Who was at the door?" Kagome asked coming down the stairs. "Andrew!" She yelled spotting me. She grabbed my arm nearly dragging me upstairs into her room.

When we got into her room I saw Inuyasha sitting on her bed.

"What are you doing here?" He yelled at me.

"I came to see you guys. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Of course not" Kagome said putting her hand over Inuyasha's mouth. Inuyasha pulled her hand off, and turned and faced the wall.

"Anyways, what's up?" I asked.

"Just getting some supplies, what about you?" Kagome asked me.

"Going to go explain this to my parents somehow…" I answered as I pointed to my ears.

"You shouldn't worry so much, I'm sure they'll understand." She said with a reassuring look.

"I kind of doubt it; I've been gone for 2 days. Maybe after that shock, the shock that I'm a half demon won't be too bad." I said looking down.

"Oh, it won't be that bad. They'd just be happy to see you"

"Hey Kagome, what happened to me before? I tried asking Sango, but she started crying and ran off…" I asked.

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other, and then back at me.

"You might as well tell him Kagome, he needs to know." Inuyasha said.

"Well, you see Andrew…Naraku had put a Tainted jewel hard into your back. He used it to control you, to attack us…" Kagome said looking down. "But we were able to get it out, by use the beaded necklace around your neck."

I looked down and saw the necklace, how hadn't I noticed it?

After going through the whole story about Sango's brother and Naraku controlling him I understand why she had cried.

"Wow…" was all I could say. "I guess I better go" I said opening Kagome's door.

"I don't think you want to go that way, my mom would never let go of you." Kagome said with a laugh. Kagome walked over and opened her window."Go out the window."

"Thanks, I'll meet you later at the well?" I said walking towards the window.

"Ok, we'll wait for you, how about 7:30(Pm)? That way we can have dinner before going." Kagome said.

"Sounds good to me." I said as I prepared to jump out the window.

"Wait! You can't go in public with your ears and tail showing." Kagome said, before handing me a baseball cap. I put it on then tucked my tail into my Kimono.

"My ears are squished and my tail is cramped, I'm ready to go" I said sarcastically with a smile. I jumped out the window and flew into the air, being a demon sure had its perks.
