Note: Hmmm...you like? Ok Here it goes

Oh yea and once again : I DO NOT own inuyasha and company...thou i wish i did.

Serenityrain2233: The answer to your question is that Katashi mean that Kagome's different now. She has to obey his every whim and will now. "The new Kagome" refers to Kagome now that she has changed, meaning she has to basically be his pet slave under his command.

Hope that answers your question! Enjoy!

Chapter 10

Katashi released a huge sigh after finally reaching the clearing where they previously made camp. Following Katashi's orders, Kagome followed him no matter how much she resisted.

"I would have stopped you sooner, you know." He said. Katashi looked to see if he had gotten her attention. He was satisfied. He did. He continues on. "Kagome, but then I wouldn't have been able to control you -" He was cut off but Kagome's interjection.

"Why are you telling me this?" she asked with pure disgust in her expression.

"Why, I thought you might like to know why you have to obey my everyword." He held out his palm and unculred his fingers to reveal two trinagular pieces of crystal. "You see, while you were unconcious, I placed another of my pieces of souls inside of you once agin." 'I'm not going to bother informing her of her unconcious barrier. She might not even beware of the magnitude of her power yet.' "That is partially how I am able to control you. Also, I have to use one of these crystal to channel my commands. I have the second one as a spare. I'm very precautious. That piece of soul inside you is connected to this crystal, and...and I'm not going to even explain how, because your puny human mind could not be able to comprehend the ways of the crystal. It simply just happens to be that way. " He turned his head, not even noticing Kagome's solemn face.

Kagome's face was expressionless. Her face made no movement, until she spoke up. "So that crystal is tied into the piece of soul inside me... and you have to use one of those to control me..."

"Precisely. "

"Well, explain to me how it works. Even if you don't believe my puny mind could percieve something of such depth and wisdom." She said defiantly because while Katashi was unaware of it, she had an idea. A very smart, quick-thought one, at that.

"Hmmmm. You take interest in knowing how your demise is fufilled." He gave her a small, respectful nod. "Very well." He took a deep breath, and started to explain. His mind was completely on the explanation.

While Katashi was deep in thought, continuously explaining concepts Kagome silently ignored, he didn't seem to notice Kagome was thinking. 'Perfect. He can't hear my thoughts.' She continued to ignore Katashi's explaination. She then opened her mouth, and Katashi noticed only a moment too late. She screamed.

Her scream pierced throught the night like a knife goes through butter. It echoed throught out the forrest. She screamed as loud and long as she could, until Katashi commanded her to be silent.

And her voice was gone.

He went forward and snatched her by the neck. "Try something like that again and you'll pay!" He declared.

Kagome nodded her head in a silent agreement. He threw her to the ground and commanded her to tie herslef up with the rope he pulled out from underneath his cloak. And she did as she was told.

Kagome sighed. 'This is going to be a long night.'

'Hahahaha...You can only imagine...'

Inuyasha raced through the trees, defiantly slipping by past the moon's shimmering light. He could smell her stronger now. He was close. He continued on and stopped. He smelt blood...

He bent down to inspect a fallen tree branch. He picked it up and Kagome's scent hit him. He looked down and saw her blood at the tip. 'She must have tried to break free, and she was barefoot...she's one to not give up...I'm coming Kagome.'

He could smell Hojo too. He was determined to kill him. No matter that Hojo was innocent, his soul was probably dead by now anyway. Two souls in one body can lead to disaster. Ultimately, only one soul will take charge of the body. And Inuyasha guessed it wasn't going to be Hojo's.

He remembered sitting outside with her on the grass. She awoke, and she looked at him...with hope. 'No one has ever looked at me that way...not even Kikyou...'

She stood up, he didn't even know how after the ordeal she had been through. But she still stood up. She looked into his eyes...wating to tell him something, he could feel it. He was about to say something when she spoke. He could still remember the words that stopped his heart.

"Inuyasha..I...I love you."

How he wanted to hold her and tell her he loved her too. How she was his and not that mangy wolf demon Kouga. She would've probably laughed at his sudden exploited jealousy.

And then she was ripped away from him, taken away but that disgusting demon Katashi. How it left such a nasty taste in Inuyasha's mouth. He would make him pay. He would apologize to Kagome for killing Hojo, but she would come t understand it wasn't something he wanted to do. It was something he had to do.

Now he was starting to get angry...really angry. Someone was messing around with Kagome...his Kagome. His thought were interupted by a scream that split through the forrest.

He knew that voice. And it was very, very close. He came upon a clearing where he could faintly see two figures below. One was someone sitting by a fire, the other was bound by rope, not even making an effort to struggle.

The time had come.
