Anyway I'm glad I answered your question serenityrain2233, and thanks to each and everyone of you that franticly asked me to update, hahah ill write like 5 chapters tonight!

And kanasha1993 you made my day. hahaha..."On with the show!"


Katashi's relaxed form suddenly jerked, and Kagome saw. 'He senses a demon near...could it be?'

Katashi's head whipped in her direction. He shouted to her, "Shut the hell up!"Then he turned facing the forrest, lookin up into the trees. "I know your there, half-demon. Show your face!"

And suddenly, to Kagome's suprise, Inuyasha jumped from the tree and landed just a few feet away from Katashi. The look on Inuyasha's face stunned even Katashi. It looked like he was going crazy. His eyes flickered red to gold to red to gold to...to red. Inuyasha was turning full demon.

This didn't really scare Kagome. Sure, sometimes she was uncomfortable when he turned into full-demon, but she could never look at him any differet than the hanyou she knew was still there. She was a bit taken aback, but she knew it was a sign. A sign that she would be free...soon.

Kagome noticed Katashi was distracted. She quickly wriggled around, lossening the ropes that bound her body. Finally, after what seemd like hours, but was in fact took only a minute or two, and looked back at the fighters. They were still in the same postition All was quiet. Then Katashi spoke.

"Leave, hanyou...don't...come.." Katashi really didn't know what to say. He was too busy watching as Inuyasha's eyes colored red, and his claws and fangs enlargened. 'What the...'

Inuyasha suddenly laughed. No one spoke, and he continued his meanacing laugh. "I smell your fear, Katashi. There's no use hiding it."

Katashi cringed. He knew. Katashi's face became solemn. He moved into a fighting stance. So, Inyasha, I believe I am correct when I say you didn't just come here for the girl. You mean to end my life as well. Am I correct?"

Inuyasha nodded. Katashi spoke. "Come get me."

Inuyasha raced forward and slammed Katashi in the stomach. He went flying into the tree. The shocked expression was still planted on his face.

'How...?' He was so fast...but how?...'

Inuyasha saw the look on Katashi's face and smirked. Without even reading his mind, Inuyasha knew Katashi was amazed at his speed. He went for Kitashi again, and Kitashi barely escaped his fury by dodgeing to the left. Still weak from being thrown into the true, Kitashi started to breathe heavy. "Weak human body..." he whispered. He then looked up as he saw Inuyasha jumping straight for him. Kitashi dodged the attack again, and kept backing up until there was no where left to go. 'This is my last chance...'

He ducked as Inuyasha went for his face and slammed both hands into Inuyasha's gut. It barely affected him. Katashi made a run for it across the clearing.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!!!!!"

Katashi's face was stricken with pain as Inuyasha's attack caught up with him. He let out a pain-filled howl.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

Katashi was barely clinging to life now. He was so weak. This puny body barely put up any fight against full-demon Inuyasha. How could he be so stupid as to actually fight him. 'What was I thinking?'

Inuyasha walked towards the mangled body of Hojo. 'It's too bad Hojo had to die. No, he didn't die by my hand, He was already dead by the time Katashi's soul moved into his body.' Inuyasha thought.

Katashi had to think quick. If Inuyasha killed this body...he couldn't find another body to inhabit. Kagome's miko powers would protect her, and Inuyasha's demon inside would surely kill his soul. His own body was back resting at his master's quarters. 'Think Katashi...think!'

His eyes widened. That's when he had an idea. He closed his eyes and sunk deep...deep into unconciousness...yes...he could feel it...it was still there...Hojo's soul was still there. 'Come...come...Hojo come back...' he beckoned. His plan was working. Hojo was becoming concious. Katashi sunk deep into the pit of Hojo's head. He would just sit it out until the body healed. The he would take his revenge on the unsuspecting hanyou. 'Surely Inuyasha wouldn't kill Hojo if he believed I was gone...'


Hojo suddenly opened his eyes and he couldn't remember what happened. He looked to his side and saw he was in a forrest. Then the memories hit him like an oncoming bus. How he had found out a demon was possessing him. How he realized he had betrayed Kagome unintentionally. He looked and say that hanyou Inuyasha walking towards him. His eyes were different from before. They weren't that golden color anymore...they were...red?

He looked to his left and saw Kagome, and she looked at him. It was like she was looking through his eyes and right at his soul. She noticed a difference. She knew it was him this time. She just knew. She whispered his name questioningly, "Hojo?..."

He nodded his head and ever so slowly turned back to the hanyou who was but a few feet from him. He knew what was coming. Death. And he wasn't going to stop it. He deserved it. 'I betrayed Kagome...and ...and then I couldn't protect her...from myself...' He swallowed what was believed to be his last breath of air as the hanyou approached him. He welcomed the silent death he was about to get. He waited for the pressure on his neck to squeeze the life breath out of him, for it all to end. He waited.

But it never came...
