Chapter Eight

As Inuyasha and Sesshomaru approached Yumi something was different Sesshomaru took her into his arms she was no longer in her demon form he picked her up her hair was now silver like his her skin was much paler she still looked like him but she was not a demon.

"How is that possible?" Inuyasha said then Sesshomar started back to the village with Yumi cradled carefully in him arms the others followed when they got there Kagome was doing better but still a sleep. Yumi was laid on the opposite side of the room from her.

"I'm sorry I do not know what has caused this in her." Keade said to the group.

"My theory is she held the shikon jewel to long. The one she gave Sango was not in her possession long the last one she held on to it mush longer." Miroku said to them.

"What would that have anything to do with anything Miroku?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"I noticed that she looked pale after holding the first one as long as she did, I believe the jewel was feeding off her power in order to purify it's self, she does posses the same power as a priestess." Miroku said.

"That does not explain why she would loose her demon form monk." Sesshomaru said annoyed.

With all that was going on Sesshomaru refused to leave Kagome or Yumi's side till some thing was explained to him on what was going on.

outside the hut everyone was in a discussion.

"I can't believe how protective Sesshomaru is." Sango said to the group.

"The change in him is almost frightening i must say." Miroku said.

"It's only natural to be protective over your mate and child." Inuyasha said leaning on a near by fence.

"Inuyasha you never once told us how you feel about all this." Miroku said to him trying to get him to open up and talk with them.

"I want Kagome to be happy alright and if being with Seshsomaru makes her happy then so be it." Inuyasha said lowering his head. "It's not like I help the situation out running after Kikyo all the time I mean if you think about it who can blame her right?" Inuyasha said closing his eyes.

"O...k... where is the real Inyasha?" Miroku said surprised at his words.

"Look what is getting mad and upset going to help weather I like it or not Kagome is having Sesshomaru's child and Kagome has been a good friend to me I'm not going to turn my back on her for any reason so let's just drop it now k..." Inuyasha said with a huff.

"Very mature of you Inuyasha." Sango said looking at him.

The next day Kagome woke up feeling just fine and energized She saw as she was sitting up on her futon Sesshomaru he was next to Yumi with his eyes closed she got up and walked over kneeling down seeing the shape Yumi was in Seshomaru opened his eyes as Kagome went to hold her hand.

"Do you know what is wrong with her?" He said softly not wanting to startle Kagome.

"No, I'm sorry." She replied.

"I'm glad to see that you are alright Kagome." Sesshomaru said coming over to her putting his arm around her looking at there Daughter worried.

"How long has she been like this?" Kagome said stroking her face.

"Two days now, she has not moved and inch." Sesshomaru said watching Kagome examine her.

"Her sent is different as well." He added. Kagome closed her eyes putting her hand on her head Sesshomaru just watched. Her eyes popped open with a fright and she gasped as if afraid.

"What? What's wrong?" Sesshomaru said as Inuyasha and the others came through the door.

"Kagome your awake you okay." Inuyasha said. "What's wrong?" He asked seeing that Kagome looked afraid.

"What exactly happened?" Kagome asked looking shocked then sad.

"She fought both Naraku's and brought them down what is wrong?" Sesshomaru said.

"This is not Yumi at all this is a completely different person all together." Kagome said.

"How is that possible?" Sango asked.

"I don't know but this person is cold uncaring and will not hesitate to kill." Kagome said backing away.

Kagome's statement bothered every one night fall came and Inuyasha was outside in his tree looking up at the sky Sesshomaru walked out side and saw his brother Kagome joined him.

"He does that all the time when he's bothered by something." Kagome said.

"Kagome come with me please" He requested Kagome followed him into the forest, Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru ask her to follow him and he turned to see her follow him into the trees and decided he wanted to know what was going on so he to followed.

Sesshomaru led Kagome to the lake that was near by Kagome looked down in the water at her reflection.

("I don't really know who I am any more, not after all that has happened lately.") Kagome thought to herself.

Sesshomaru watched her wondering what she must be thinking he became closer to her wanting to comfort her.

"This spot is beautiful is it not?" Sesshomaru said gaining her attention she noticed the moon and the stars and the reflecting light from the moon.

"Yes, yes it is beautiful here." She spoke looking around the water was so calm and serene.

Inuyasha sat in a tree near by watching and listening, Sesshomaru then took Kagome into his arms it was then looking past Kagome in his embrace he saw Yumi walking towards them he let go of Kagome.

"Sesshomaru what is it?" Kagome asked turning to see Yumi as well, Inuyasha was shocked as well.

Yumi stopped walking and just stood there staring at them then she grinned evilly at them.

"You know Kagome was right to fear me... She was also right in saying that I was no longer Yumi as well..."

The woman before them spoke to them. "After all this who would have thought that I would be your next Enemy."

She finished her eyes cold and heart less. "You both are such fools your daughter was just a vessel for me my name is Usagi and I will rule this world with and Iron fist I feel nothing for anything nor any one." She spoke to them Sesshomaru then heard his own words spat at back in his face just then.

"I am no longer Demon nor human that is why my sent changed." She stated to them.

Kagome stepped forward Sesshomaru reluctant to let her get to far from his protection.

"I don't believe you..." Kagome stated getting closer Sesshomaru heard the statement and wondered.

"Do not come any closer if you value your life." Usagi said to her so coldly.

"You wouldn't dare harm me..." Kagome stated to Usagi.

"That is where you are wrong I now no longer require the body you carry inside you, you see all I required at the time was a vessel till I was strong enough to emerge Yumi had struggled for centuries to keep me at bay her power grew to strong for me until her recent battle the monk was right she did hold the jewel to long the jewel absorbed just enough power to weaken her enough so that I might awaken." Usagi explained it was then Sesshomaru stepped in front of Kagome.

"Now I find that Kagome dear you are the only one that can stand in my way and i just can't have that." Usagi stepped closer opening her hand where a crystal sword appeared with that Sesshomaru drew his sword.

Inuyasha took the opertunity to make his appearance drawing his sword as well.

"Inuyasha what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Should that really matter at this point? The question I would be asking is why Kagome is the only one who is in her way?" Inuyasha said.

"Stop this right now!" Kagome yelled stepping out from behind them looking at Usagi.

"Who are you?" She asked her.

"I am the darkness of Yumi's heart." She confessed.

"That's what I thought.. That means Yumi is in there somewhere." Kagome said turning back to the brothers.

"You can't fight her Yumi is in there we just have to find her." Kagome said.

"And how do plan on doing that Kagome? It's not like this Usagi is going to listen to you long enough for you to reach Yumi, She wants to kill you." Inuyasha spoke in a raised voice.

Kagome turned and took a few steps towards the woman before her.

"I don't believe that you feel nothing everyone feels something." Kagome stated making her stand.

Usagi smirked then laughed.

"Believe it!" She said lunging for Kagome.

"Kagome!!" Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha Shouted...
