Inuyasha and Shippo are gone. You get it. XD

Koga gasped. "HUH?!" He looked left, right, up, down... No. They really were gone. "Inuyasha! Shippo!" He suddenly sniffed the air. He was a Wolf-demon. He could easily find their scent and track them down.

And he was going to.

The question was... How long was it going to take?

Inuyasha looked at Shippo. "Are you absolutely positive Koga's okay with this? And what about Sesshomaru?"

Shippo looked down. "Of course!" ...Not. I never told either one of them. I hope they know we're safe. he thought.

Meanwhile, Koga sat telling Sesshomaru of his new discovery. "And...They were gone. We have to find them!" he cried.

Sesshomaru though for a second. "Perhaps he ran away because he fears being in my...Care." he suggested, earning a glare from Koga.

"Ya' think?" the wolf demanded. "If what he always said you did was true, you weren't half the brother you're being now!...No pun intended."

Sesshomaru shook his head. "I told him I would improve. I believe he wishes not to be with me... We must hurry if we are to find him before sunset." he said. He looked up at the sky. The horizon was pink, clouds a golden color. Just like my dear brother's eyes, so fiery and full of passion-whatever the task. he thought.

Koga's river-blue eyes shimmered with determination. "Let's go find Inuyasha!"

Meanwhile, Inuyasha had his sword unsheathed as he glared at a hoard of demons. "Shippo, you stay back."

"But I can help y-"

"I SAID STAY BACK!" Inuyasha snapped. No way am I gonna look weak! Shippo's stronger than I am right now. That's not okay...I won't stoop so low as to accept help with a couple a' lowlife demons like these! he thought, eyes narrowed. "Come at me then!" he said to the demons. They all only sneered at him. "Pitiful half-demon." they hissed. "We'll end your life." Inuyasha groaned, knowing they were just messing with his head, but he huffed. "Shaddup and attack me then, cowards!"

The demons got mad at that and flew at him, attacking from all angles.

"Ha! This is nothing! WIND SCAR!" he cried, sending the demonic energy at them. Most of them disintegrated in the air, leaving only the strong behind.

"So, you're the cocky bastard filling my head." Inuyasha retorted. "Pathetic. You even look stupid." he said. But the demon flew at him, knocking his wrist with such force that Inuyasha let go of Tessaiga. "N-no!" He ran at the demon, claws poised. "DIE! Iron Reaver Soul-"

"I don't think so!"

"Huh?" Inuyasha was sent back a foot, a gaping hole in his side. "Haahh, bastard!" He grabbed at the wound to stop the bleeding, but it was already soaking his hoari, and running down his leg. While he was distracted, the demon attacked a couple more times. By the time he had taken just one step back, his hip was cut open and his arm had a gash all the way down. He grabbed at it and flung his hand out, demonic energy from his claws mixing with the blood to create his nexy attack: "Blades of Blood!"

This actually hurt the demon some, but it merely enveloped the half-demon in itself, squeezing him tight as it absorbed any lost blood. Inuyasha groaned as his vision started giving out. "Se-Sesshomaru...Koga...Help..." he muttered.

The demon laughed. "Nobody is going to save you, fool! You'll be dead before they arrive!"

"No..." Inuyasha reached his arm up and sank his claws into the demons scaly flesh, pulling himself up. How can I defeat this thing? he wondered despertely.

The demon circled him a few times before whipping its tail out, sending Inuyasha flying at a... A well?

Inuyasha gasped as his face skidded into the ground a few inches. He recognized this well. "Kagome!" He clawed his way to the entrance, revealing his now-bloody chin. But he didn't care. The reason he was out here-Kagome. But he forgot. His love for her tossed all bitter memories out the window as he called into the well. He could hear her call back. "Kagome! KAGOME!"

"Inuyasha?"

"Kagome you have to come back, please-"

Silence, fool!" The demon grabbed Inuyasha and yanked him back, only serving to twist his ankle. He cried out as he lay, limp in the grass. "Kagome!"

She flew out of the well. Seeing Inuyasha like this- she forgot all her anger as tears sprang to her eyes. "Inuyasha! INUYAsHAAAA!"

He was now laying in a pool of his own blood.

"Wanna die by your lover?" the demon sneered, flinging him at her. He landed beside her and looked up.

This position-that's right...She hates me. He looked down. "Do what you will..."

She gasped, still forgetting. "Wait Inuyasha! I'm gonna help you! I've gotta!"

"But you hated me!" he protested, trying to get up.

Shippo watched, freaking out. "JUST STOP ARGUING AND KILL THE DEMON!" he cried.

Kagome nodded and pulled out an arrow. She knocked it on her bow and aimed at the demon, but it suddenly became invisible. Then, Inuyasha screamed in pain. Blood was soaking his back; blood from an unseen wound.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shrieked, doing her best to pick him up.

And failing.

Inuyasha growled at her. "St-stay back!" he snarled. "The-demon it's possessing me..."

His eyes flashed red and blue. Jagged stripes appeared on his cheeks. His claws and fangs grew even longer...

Kagome screamed as the transformed hayo lunged at her.
