Previously:

Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara could only stand and watch as Inuyasha slashed his claws at Kikyo. She fell to her knees on the ground. Inuyasha had wounded her deeply, blood was rapidly flowing out of her. Her face had drained of fear, now replaced with pain. She closed her eyes, "So be it Inuyasha.." Kikyo had fallen to the ground, her breathing slowly stopping, her body became still. Inuyasha was still in his Youkai form, the human side was fighting for control, so that his Youkai side wouldn't attack his friends or Kagome. Kikyo's body began to disappear, as if a light had hit the right way, her image shimmering away.

Inuyasha's red eyes began to fade back to white, his human side had won back control. He ran to Kagome, who was still laying motionless on the ground. Her wound was gone, from both arrow strikes. It confused Inuyasha, but he pulled Kagome to her, trying to wake her up.


A/N: So yeah, here is the new chapter. I have a few more complications arising in the plot line, so don't calm those heartbeats just yet. And I know, the battle kinda sucked, but hey, Kikyo died. She died knowing Inuyasha would rather have Kagome. Heehee. I'm a bitch to Kikyo, having her die with a broken heart. It's like the ultimate punishment to me! Kagome and Inuyasha now have to face another challenge…

Inuyasha was still holding onto Kagome, leaping through the trees, trying to get back to the village, where Lady Kaede receded. Inuyasha knew if anyone, Kaede would be able to help..

Flashback:

"Inuyasha, go back to the village with Kagome." Miroku spoke to Inuyasha in private, "If anything, Kagome might need to go back to her own world. We don't have the medicine that her world does." Inuyasha nodded. Sango approached, holding Shippo and Kirara in her arms, "Inuyasha, take care of Kagome. We are going further west, something feels a bit off, we're going to check it out." She brushed Kagome's bangs out of her eyes and smiled, "Kagome will be just fine, just watch over her."

End Flashback:

He growled, not liking the fact that Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara were going off on their own, but he needed to make sure Kagome was going to be alright. He finally reached the village. He felt tired from fighting his Youkai side. Inuyasha approached Kaede's hut, the sun was now going down. He felt a twinge of pain shoot through his body and almost dropped Kagome. His arms became weak and his vision dulled. Inuyasha tried to direct his ears to hear around him, but he had become human from the full moon. He growled, carrying Kagome inside the hut. Lady Kaede was there, stirring a pot. She looked up, seeing the human Inuyasha walk inside, holding Kagome bridal-style in his arms. Kagome's eyes were closed and she was barely breathing.

"What has happened to ye?" Lady Kaede supported Kagome's head with a blanket, after Inuyasha laid her down.

"Kikyo kidnapped Kagome to lure me in. Kikyo is finally to rest, I took care of her." Inuyasha never took his eyes off of Kagome. Her breathing was becoming more and more shallow. 'Kagome…come back to me..'

"Inuyasha…Kagome might not wake up. If she doesn't awaken soon, she might not ever." Kaede looked up at Inuyasha, but he wouldn't remove his eyes off of Kagome. After a few minutes, he finally broke his gaze, starting to step away from Kagome.

"Inuyasha, were do ye plan on heading now?" Kaede said as she gently rolled Kagome over onto her belly, moving Kagome's shirt to see where the blood on the shirt had come from. Inuyasha turned around, looking at Kagome once more, "I don't know, I just need to think right now.." Inuyasha stepped out, walking towards the tree he usually would sit in. Looking up at his branch, he longed to leap up, but couldn't because of his human form. The sky was now almost completely dark. Inuyasha growled, he hated not being able to see much.

A/N: I know…short chapter…but I'm getting more up soon, so be patient!
