Me-oh boy, I feel like I'm losing my InuKag mojo! I've written so much NaruHina lately that I feel like I'm failing all of my InuKag fans and for that I'm so sorry!

Kag-bout time though that you're updating this

Inu-shut up Kagome!

Me-anyway, I'm going to try to update what InuKag stories I have to finish, least update... T-T also, I have a surprise, later I'm making a crossover with Naruto, and Inuyasha, thats right! Two great anime series clashing to fight one enemy, I call it 'Times of Darkness' why that is? You'll have to wait till I have it up since I haven't written it yet, till then later!


Inuyasha looked up at the sky; it was a very beautiful night. The stars were shining, the moon was full… (Once again…) though, what had confused the young raven haired man was why the moon looked purple. Shrugging to himself, he kept on focusing on a song that was in his mind. The area they resided in was near a nice stream, there was a cherry tree by a small cliff side which was where Kirara as well as Hiroko were.

He figured that they wanted to pack up for tomorrow…

As for Kagome, she had gone to get some more fire wood and some fruit… Inuyasha had told her to get more of that since all she had been eating was the miso soup that he has been bringing for her. Sighing softly, Inuyasha wondered what he was supposed to do now; all he had was his music though he wasn't sure if Hiroko would enjoy his music since Kagome just barely liked it. Yawning, Inuyasha jumped to his feet, the sound of pebbles under his sneakers echoed through his ears as he started to play a tune…

He had to play something in this silence or he would go crazy!

Ah, made of distorted melodies,
we are creatures worthy of love.
Even if we can't produce any results,
our hearts will be singing.

Normally, the song sounds better with drums, and a base, but right now he was on his own with the guitar. Though at the moment, he doesn't care. Right now, all he cares about is having this song to be played… Inuyasha took a few steps, imagining that he was on the stage, singing for everyone in the school.

Ah, having endured many powerful storms,
are we creatures worthy of love?
Even if we can't keep our promise,
our hearts are still singing.

Inuyasha could feel the music flowing around him; it was an amazing thing for sure… To him, it was as if he always became one with the song, no matter who played the original, if he played it on his guitar than he was able to be one with it. The young man couldn't help but smile as he sang… The song was amazing, that was for sure. Though, Inuyasha couldn't help but wonder why this song seemed to match what was going on around in his life… Ah, maybe he was imagining things.

Which door should we knock on and open?
After we open a door where should we go?
we won't be able to return all by myself,
so we've merely been waiting for someone else.

As he played, Inuyasha could feel eyes on him… who they were, he wasn't sure. He had shut off himself to the outside world for the time being. At the moment, all he wanted was to finish this song and nothing was going to stop him. As he moved, he couldn't help but notice that something wet had started to hit his feet… it had confused the young man though still, he kept on singing.

Who is the person you want to see the most right now?
The number of people whom you can only talk to in your heart is increasing.
Therefore,
you just wanted to become stronger.

Someone was calling out to him, who? In his mind's eye, he could see Kagome trying to call out to him, though why did she look human? It was a full moon, not a new moon. Maybe he's just seeing things… after all, to him Kagome was still Kagome wither she was half-demon, human or even a full demon. Though, he just wished that Kagome would stop with her desire to be a full demon… she wasn't her anymore when that happens…

Ah, I worry about your heart
because you don't care about other people's news or problems.
Even the people who were trying to laugh with all their might
were actually crying their heart out.

Inuyasha sighed softly; he did worry about Kagome's heart… It was as if she couldn't decide what she wanted. Sometimes, he thinks that she would pick Kai because of the history that they shared so long ago, and others he thinks that she'd pick him. But, it just seemed that Kai would win. Every time he saw her go to Kai, he felt a piece of his heart break… and shatter like glass.

It's okay to cry if the night is scary.
You just need to welcome morning with a smile.
No matter how much you are worn out today,
the remainder of today that you have yet to see will be beautiful.

Inuyasha almost laughed at that, he wanted Kagome to smile and see the beauty in the world instead of the ugly. All she saw was the worst of the world but he figured that was because of how she grew up. That was the only thing that he could think of.

Casting doubt over the sun,
becoming more clouded than the moon,
we have all been lied to and gotten hurt in the past.

Inuyasha moved a little more, the wet feeling that he had in his sneakers got past his ankles and up to his legs. Inuyasha was even more confused about that though he didn't dare say anything, he only kept on going with his song.

Casting doubt over the sun,
becoming more clouded than the moon,
we have also told lies and made others get hurt, haven't we?

Inuyasha knew that Kagome was still hurting because of her past. Inuyasha was also hurting from his past, and knew that no matter how much time passes that the pain would remain. Though, he knew that they would get through with their lives with a straight face and laughter, joy and happiness. That was how people should live their lives.

Who is the person I want to see the most right now?
If the number of people whom I can only talk to in my heart
keeps on increasing,
will I no longer be able to live on?

Again, Kagome's face popped up into his mind… though, instead of seeing a human Kagome, he saw the hanyou that he had learned to love. He couldn't help but smile a sad smile… for it seemed that it was a love that would never come true. Maybe it was better that he gave up on his love for her when she would always love his past life more than him.

We haven't read enough of our tale yet.
We know that we can't force the story to end prematurely
because all of us, while staying true to ourselves,
wanted to become stronger.

Inuyasha knew though, that he would have to travel with Kagome till they've gathered all the shards of the Shikon Jewel. It was the only way, since he was the only one (besides Kai) that can see the shards of the jewel. And he knew that till then, he was stuck with Kagome and her going to Kai until the shards were whole once more…

We just wanted to become stronger.

"Inuyasha! Get out of the water!" shouted Kagome, which had caused Inuyasha to blink and look down and sighed. He had walked into the water while he was in a trance. Joy… oh the joy… Sighing softly, Inuyasha walked out of the water and back to the fire that had come back to life thanks to the fire wood that Kagome had placed in it. Once he had sat down, the young man removed his shoes and socks… Ah well, least he can walk on stones without socks…

"How long have you been there Kagome?" asked Inuyasha with a frown and a tilt of his head.

"Not long, though it was strange to see that you were going to the water." Answered Kagome as she threw another piece of wood into the fire, and took a bite out of her apple, only to give Inuyasha an apple as well… Inuyasha was a little confused as to why he was going to the water, normally he is aware of his actions while in a small trance but it seemed that he was in a total trance this time…

Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha took a bite out of his apple as he stared into the blaze. "Hey Kagome, do you still wanna be a full demon? Ya know, you are powerful enough as it is so… what's the point of being a full demon?" asked Inuyasha as he stared at Kagome with calm yet sad eyes.

"I want to be accepted."

"But we all accept you, me, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kirara, my family, even Kaede. A lot of people don't care that you're half-demon Kagome, why don't you see that?"

"Just forget it Inuyasha, you wouldn't understand. You're fully human…"

Inuyasha sighed; maybe he doesn't understand Kagome's pain… But what he does know was that Kagome was accepted by so many others now… why can't she see that there isn't a reason to be a demon? Not when it would control her mind and turn her into a heartless killer that would keep killing until she was killed herself…

Sighing, Inuyasha leaned back against the rocky cliff side as he looked up at the sky; it made him wonder what was happening back at home right now. Maybe Souta was playing his video games, mom was cooking or reading something for work… and of course there was grandpa, trying to act like a real sacred priest. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at that, no matter what his grandfather wasn't a real priest, he didn't even have any sacred powers at all, it was like it had skipped his generation right down to Inuyasha, maybe that was why he was so powerful…

The thought though, made Inuyasha's expression darkens… 'Maybe I'm too powerful… I'm a descendent of a great priest and demon slayer… I'm the reincarnation of a powerful monk and… damn it why me?'

Shaking his head, Inuyasha looked up at the sky, wondering what they were going to do about Kaguya… they knew that at some point she would come after them, least, if she wasn't trapped in that mirror. Yawning, Inuyasha got up and stretched a bit and sighed softly, not really sure what he was to do next… Suddenly, his eyes snapped open wide as he grabbed his sword. "Kagome, we've got company…"

Kagome stood up and looked around, Inuyasha wasn't sure if she could even smell what was going on. All he could make out was the cherry blossoms flying through the air… Just what could be causing all of this anyway? Was it Kaguya or some other force?

Narrowing his eyes, he stared at the cherry blossoms as they started to swirl into what seemed like a petal tornado. Frowning, Inuyasha could faintly make out a faint outline, only for that to form that of a woman. Her hair long, reaching the hem of her purple kimono. Her hair was black as the night, and tinted blue… her eyes sparkled like blue sapphires… her lips rose red… her hair had two strange fins that somehow looked like fangs were embedded into her hair behind her ears.

She would have looked beautiful if it wasn't for that creepy aura around her… Inuyasha could easily sense it… He could sense the darkness that surrounded her like a wet blanket. What could she want here?

"Who would have thought that what I search for, is around where you two reside." Said Kaguya with a smirk…

Inuyasha wanted to beat her, though he also knew that he had to fight the darkness that tried to invade his heart. Just her presents itself was enough to cause him to go evil on Kagome and everyone around him. Though, his desire to protect them was what was enough to keep him sane right now… that was all he needed and that was enough to keep his heart in the light and fight for what he believes in rather than what hurts him the most… hurting his friends.

Looking over at Kagome from the corner of his eye, Inuyasha could tell that she was pissed about what had happened earlier, between them when Naraku took some of Kagome's robe for some reason…

Kaguya grinned as she said "I've come for the celestial robe… I sense it here… and nothing will stop me from obtaining it… not even a half-demon."

Inuyasha had to think for a moment… robe… robe… wait! Didn't Hiroko have a robe like that? If Kaguya was after it that meant that she was in danger… Narrowing his eyes, Inuyasha charged, the tip of his sword dragging into the stone. "You're not going to get it bitch queen of the moon!" shouted Inuyasha as he swung the sword… only for Kaguya to swing her arm as it made contact with Inuyasha's head. The young man skidded on the pebbles and fell into the water.

"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome as she charged at Kaguya and swung her sword downward. Kagome wasn't going to let anything happen to anyone here, not on her watch! Kaguya smirked and held out a hand as a pressure was thrown at Kagome, causing her to go flying into the tree… its roots lifting and wrapping itself around the hanyou's waist, legs, arms, neck… even her chest.

Kagome struggled, not wanting to believe that she had been beaten so easily. "I'll kill you! I'll kick your ass! Let me go!" shouted Kagome as she kept on struggling, but it seemed that no matter what she just couldn't get released.

Kaguya stared at Kagome for a moment, as if trying to look into her soul… Kagome just stared right back with an angry golden glare. Whoever this woman was, there was no way that she could be human… something about her was off, whatever it was…

"A hanyou, wanting to be a full demon huh? I can grant your wish… if you be my servant."

"Fuck off."

"I see… maybe you need more convincing…" said Kaguya as she held up a mirror that looked just like Kanna's but brown edges instead of white. The mirror started to glow and it shot out a strange force of energy. Kagome screamed, feeling like her body was being crushed. She tried to get it to stop, she just had to get it to stop but it seemed that no matter what, it just wouldn't do anything for her.

Inuyasha groaned and pushed himself up and out of the water, his red muscle shirt and black jeans were soaked to the bone. Spitting out water, Inuyasha knew that he would have to think of something… Kagome was getting crushed damn it! Tightly gripping his sword, the black light started to appear once more as he rose to his feet. "Dark Slash!" shouted Inuyasha, his eyes glowing black with a small tint of blue within its depths.

Kaguya turned and stared at the attack and lifted her hand and watched in shock as it slashed through her clothes, and hit the tree above Kagome's head. She raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha as if trying to think on what she could do to him.

Inuyasha on the other hand had calmed down and rushed to Kagome's side and tried to slash at roots. "Inuyasha get away from here! You don't stand a chance!" shouted Kagome, only to be ignored by Inuyasha. Kaguya smirked and held out her mirror… "Inuyasha run you'll be crushed!" shouted Kagome, Inuyasha turned around and stared at Kaguya with a serious expression. He could see the attack coming, it let off an aura that didn't belong to that of a demon nor a sacred being… it was as if it was gathering the energy from nature or…

'The moon… she gets her power from the moon… that has to be it…' thought Inuyasha as he tightly held the sword's hilt. Focusing on it to transform into its staff form, now Inuyasha only had seconds left… Smirking, he transformed the sword into its staff form and jammed the bottom of the staff into the ground as a shield formed around Inuyasha and Kagome.

The force of the attack was stronger than he thought it was… Tightly holding the staff, Inuyasha could feel himself getting pushed back… he wanted to scream out in pain but knew that would be a sign of weakness… The attack was powerful for sure, Inuyasha could feel his feet skidding backward… he had to think of something and fast before his shield was destroyed!

"Inuyasha, just stop, I can handle this better than you!" shouted Kagome, the shield started to fizzle with sparks of sacred energy. If this kept up the shield might explode from the pressure. But if he lets go of the attack now he might be crushed unless he can cut through it somehow…

That's it!

Inuyasha smirked, he had to time it just right time to transform the staff… Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha felt his feel press against the cliff side… he could use that as an advantage… Pressing the soles of his feet into the earth of the cliff, tightly he held the staff in his hand and pushed his legs into the ground before launching himself into the air.

Staff, now transformed into a sword, Inuyasha held it outward of his body and pointed at Kaguya. His eyes glowing bright blue as his sword cut through her attack… though, the young man could still feel the pressure on his body but it wasn't as bad now…

Kaguya stared at Inuyasha with shock, which was what the young man had expected. The sword sliced through her sleeve and he placed his feet on her shoulder before pushing himself into the air once more. Twirling the sword into his hand, Inuyasha turned it into a bow and twisted his body around. His one leg outward from with his one leg bent and held against his body.

This was his chance… Taking a deep breath, he pulled on the string of the bow as an arrow of blue light started to form. "Die bitch!" shouted Inuyasha as he launched the arrow at Kaguya. He smirked, thinking that it was going to hit. Kaguya smirked as she turned and held up her mirror, absorbing the arrow.

He stared at it with wide eyes in shock. There was no way that… no! Landing on the pebbles, Inuyasha saw what Kaguya was going to do… it was like with Kanna's mirror… NO! "Kagome!" shouted Inuyasha as he ran back to the half-demon. Bow transformed back into its sword state as he placed it back in its sheath. Inuyasha had to hurry… everything felt like it had slowed down.

The sound of pebbles crunching under his feet… the sound of the arrow soaring through the air… the sound of his heart beating so quickly that it might burst from his chest. Inuyasha had to think of something, even his sword couldn't cut through those roots! It just seemed impossible to break Kagome free…

Time didn't feel like it was going to speed up to Inuyasha, he could faintly hear people screaming at him to stop, that he would only get himself killed.

Hiroko screamed as she said "stop Inuyasha!" only for Inuyasha to keep on running… once he had reached Kagome, he had his palms pressing into the cliff over her head, using his own body as a shield. Inuyasha gave Kagome a serious stare as if telling her that it'll be alright, that he would survive this… Suddenly, Inuyasha's eyes widened as pain coursed through his body. It felt like his body was starting to shut down on him…

"Inuyasha… wh-why would you do that?"

Inuyasha gritted his teeth, his knees starting to buckle under his weight… He stared at Kagome for a moment as he whispered "you're always trying to keep me safe… trying to keep the darkness away from consuming me. This… is the least I can… do for you." His voice sounded weak and painful, it was enough to shatter anyone's heart. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and saw the glowing blue light of his light arrow sticking out of his back… it didn't look like it hit his heart, so he would survive… He gave Kagome one last smile before falling over out cold… His body lying on the roots that held Kagome to the cliff… though, what everyone noticed, was that hoping to keep Inuyasha safe, Hiroko had thrown her bag that held the celestial robe; the arrow had shot through the opening of the bag and hit Inuyasha's back, the robe stuck to Inuyasha's back until the arrow was removed.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha with wide eyes, not wanting to believe that he had been taken down by his own attack. There was no way that he would have been taken down so easily. But the way he was just lying there… it was enough to tell Kagome that he was in trouble, that his life may be in danger right now… she could even smell the blood starting to form around the arrow… and it smelled horrible with his clothes being wet…

Kaguya stared at Inuyasha as she said "what a fool. Protecting someone is a fool's move." Soon, her dark gaze went to Kagome as she said "now, join me… and you'll have all the power you want… all the power that you desire. Won't you?"

"Go fuck yourself, just let me go!"

"I cannot do that… though; I will take the boy with me." Laughed Kaguya as Inuyasha's body started to float away from her body, Kaguya started to leave, taking the unconscious Inuyasha with her. Kagome kept on screaming into the night air for Kaguya to leave Inuyasha there.

But it didn't do anything… when the roots started to dry up and die, Kagome ran toward the direction that Kaguya disappeared too… only one word escaped her lips…

"Inuyasha!"
