Chapter 11

His head was killing him, he had no idea what had happened, it wasn't until he had tried to think what it was that had knocked him out, that he remember what exactly had happened. Somehow he began to transform and Kagome was with him. She was crying and apologized before he lost it. Before he could try and figure out what was going on, he lifted his head up as he heard his brothers enraged voice say, "What this Sesshomaru does has nothing to do with you humans."

"It does when it involves my best friend!" Sango enraged voice was heard as Kirara joined her with a low and dangerous growl.

Before Sesshomaru could reply, all eyes were turned to face the hanyou that struggled to get up as he growled out, "Uh…would you all shut up."

"Inuyasha!" Miroku exclaimed.

"Glad to see that it did not take long for him to wake up." An unknown voice to him was heard.

"Feh, go to hell wench." Inuyasha growled as he stood up only to find Sesshomaru standing in front of him.

"I'm glad to see that you are doing alright brother." Sesshomaru was heard as he glared at Sango.

"Indeed, Lord Inuyasha, are you feeling well?" the woman's mocking voice was heard.

"Sesshomaru who is that bitch?" Inuyasha growled in a low and dangerous growl.

"You will show some respect to my mother little brother." Sesshomaru growled.

"Mother? I thought she died?" Inuyasha replied in a shocked voice.

"It would seem that your father lied to you. Why he hid me I have no idea but then, I was the one to leave him so." Lilith replied.

"Feh, like I care, what are you and your mother doing here?" Inuyasha growled. 'Kagome is here…I can smell her.'

"Inuyasha, are you sure your alright?" Sango's worried voice was heard.

"About that…you might want to read this first brother." Sesshomaru growled as he handed him the letter.

'It's got Kagome's scent one it…wait…so where is she?' Inuyasha thought as he snatched the letter and ripped it open so that he could start to read it.

"Please don't hate us." Miroku's low whisper was heard as he took to Sango's side.

Before Inuyasha could ask what he was talking about, he watched as Sesshomaru's mother froze before quickly walking over to the pound before them. Before he could really see what was going on, Inuyasha turned to his brother and heard his enrage voice growl out, "You must read that first, I will not tell you again little brother."

Sango turned to the inu demon and asked, "What's wrong? Is everything alright?"

"No, it would seem her power had grown a lot more then what I expected, she will need more blood." Lilith explained.

"Sesshomaru we don't have time for this." Sango was heard as she turned to face the inu demon and his hanyou brother.

"Sango, we cannot ignore Kagome's wish." Miroku's gentle voice was heard.

As Inuyasha quickly read over Kagome's letter he couldn't help but feel at fault, hurt and enraged. Before Sesshomaru could say a word, Inuyasha let out a low growl before ripping up the letter and growling out, "Why didn't anyone of you stop her! Why did you let her go through with this!"

"She needs the blood now." Lilith was heard as she began to put her own demon herbs into the water.

"Before I answer you, you must pour some of your blood into the water." Sesshomaru answered. "If you do not, the miko will die."

"You all better answer me. I don't think she only got help from you Sesshomaru. No matter what she put, I know she had help from everyone." Inuyasha growled as he walked over to the water, slit his wrist and allowed is blood to drip into the water that Kagome was under.

"Inuyasha, why are you mad?" Sango asked in a gentle voice. "She did this for you."

"Feh, I don't want her ruining her life, she does not deserve the life of a hanyou." Inuyasha growled out as he turned to glare at his friends.

"It was not your decision to make." Miroku boldly answered. "She truly believes that you will leave with Kikiyo to hell. She wanted to stay with us; she wanted to stay by Shippo's side so that he would not have to see her age."

"How is she?" Sesshomaru asked as he allowed his brother to argue with his human companions.

"Stable for now, she is starting to transform." His mother answered.

"I don't care, she shouldn't have bothered." Inuyasha growled out in a low and dangerous voice.

"Well there is nothing you can do now little brother, look." Sesshomaru was heard.

Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, and his mother all looked into the water as the long raven hair miko began to change. Her short nails were not claws, she now had fangs that grew to the point the tips were hanging out of her lips. Her hair now had sliver tips and was longer than what it had been before. And just like the hanyou she had come to love, she now had a pair of triangular dog ears at the top of her head. Having enough, Inuyasha turned to glare at his two friends before saying, "This is all your fault, if you had only stopped her."

"Kagome told us that she would do this with or without her help. It is thanks to us that she is able to do this with a low risk of dying." Sango yelled at the enraged hanyou.

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked in a worried voice. 'I can't lose her, not her.'

Miroku glared at Sango as she slowly walked off to cool her head before turning to Inuyasha with a sad look in his eye. He didn't have the hurt to tell him that the only reason there was a chance that he that they would and could lose Kagome was because Kagome had refused to call the rest of her soul back to her. She had refused to take Kikiyo from his side. When Miroku said nothing, Inuyasha ran at him and lifted him up and into the air while yelling out, "WHY CAN SHE DIE! WHAT DIDN'T YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF!!!"

Miroku pushed Inuyasha and used his spiritual powers to get the enraged hanyou to let go of him. Once he was free, he locked eyes with Inuyasha and answered, "She can die because she didn't want to take the rest of her soul back. She didn't want you to hate her even more once she woke up as a hanyou."

"She refused to take her soul back for you." Sango added. "That's how much she believed that you had already chosen Kikiyo over her."

Inuyasha took a step back and way from them as if they had just physically hurt them. Before he could even say a word, the now serious inu demon turned to face the three of them before locking eyes with the monk. Once she had his attention she asked him, "Is there a way you can call for her soul weather she wants it or not?"

"Mother?" Sesshomaru called.

"Why do you ask?" Sango added.

"No, she placed a barrier so that I could not do it…she refuses to let me do such a thing." Miroku answered in a defeated voice.

"What do you mean? Can't you lower it?" Inuyasha asked now in a worried voice.

"Are you saying you will allow this?" A shocked Sango was heard.

"Of course! I can't let her die!" Inuyasha yelled back at Sango.

Lilith shock her head before turning to face her son to say, "Then we have only failed her."

"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru growled.

"If her soul is not completed then she won't be able to finish her transformation. She will be in a coma, in this water until her soul is complete. All of her, including ALL of her soul must accept her new demonic powers." Lilith explained.

"Your telling me that she won't wake up until she get her soul back?" Sango asked in a sad voice. "God what have we done? Kagome, I'm so sorry."

"Brother?" Sesshomaru growled.

As Inuyasha shock with anger and worry, he looked up to lock eyes with his half brothers mother and asked, "Will she be safe?"

"What do you mean hanyou?" Lilith answered.

"If I leave will she be safe? She won't be killed while she can't defend herself is what I want to know." Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha, part of the reason she is doing this is to prove how strong she is." Miroku anger filled voice was heard.

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha growled.

"Even if she is asleep, if she feel threatened Kagome will attack and defend the moment a demon comes and tries to kill her." Sango explained. "That is how much Kagome has grown as a miko."

"Feh, and if she gets her soul back?" Inuyasha growled as he tied Tetsusiga back to his side.

"Then she will awaken as the inu hanyou she desired to become." Lilith answered.

"Feh, fine then, just wait here, I'll get the rest of her soul." Inuyasha growled as he turned around to leave.

"Are…are you going to kill Kikiyo?" a shocked Miroku was heard.

"No, I'm going to bring her here so that she can help Kagome, maybe she'll be able to stop this, hell maybe she'll be able to wake Kagome up without giving up her soul." Inuyasha answered.

"YOU BASTARD! ALL OF THIS, THE REASON SHE IS IN THERE IS BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOU 'RE STILL TRYING TO SAVE KIKIYO?!" Sango yelled in fury. "YOU BASTARD…YOU DON'T DESERVE HER LOVE!!!!"

Before Sango could attack him, Inuyasha jumped away and began to go in such of Kikiyo. He knew that she would not let Kagome die, he knew that she would return the favor and help save Kagome after Kagome had helped save her when Naraku had inserted his miasma into her dirt body. It was all he could do, no one had to tell him how much Kagome had grown, no one expect for him knew her true strength, no one knew. He knew how strong she really was but he still wanted to protect her, he refused to stop protecting the women he loved so much. 'Damn it bitch, you better not leave me…you better not die on me.' Inuyasha though as he ran faster than he had ever gone before.

The undead miko had been enjoy the nice weather, the nice day with the hunted boy that had been left under her care. She knew that she had no right but at the moment she felt as if she was being a mother, something she had always wanted to become should she had ever gotten rid of the jewel before Naraku had killed her. Just as she was slowly following asleep, she stood up as she felt the a pull on her soul. She could tell that it was not the young miko that had taken her place by Inuyasha's side but the monk that traveled with them. 'What has happened that the monk has tried to call back my soul?' Kikiyo thought.

"Lady Kikiyo?" Kohaku called. After the death of and the shattering of the jewel once more, he had told his sister that he would see her again once the jewel was whole once more. He would be traveling with Kikiyo and protect her and Midoriku's soul from any demons that would try to kill her for the power she now had over the shikon jewel.

"Something has happened…we must now go in such of my reincarnation. Something has happened to her." Kikiyo stated as she stood up to leave.

"Would you like us to go and look for her location?" the two younger puppets were heard.

"No, it will be alright." Kikiyo answered. "For now I would for you both to find a demon with the most jewel shards. That has to come first before another Naraku is born."

"Yes my lady." They answered.

"Would you like for me to go with you Lady Kikiyo?" Kohaku was heard.

"Yes, it would do you some good to be with your sister while I try and see what happened to my reincarnation." Kikiyo answered.

"I'm ready to leave." Kohaku was hard as he stood up to leave.

"Very well then, we need to go west from here." Kikiyo stated as she began to lead the way. 'Her aura, her soul…its being changed by something…Inuyasha have you died? Why are you allowing Kagome to be changed like this?'

"Kikiyo, will you be alright since your soul is being called upon?" Kohaku asked.

"No one but Kagome herself can take my soul back, and it would seem that that is not what she wants." Kikiyo explained.

"Alright, I'll keep up." Kohaku stated.

"I'm afraid that in this case it would be easier for me to just have you carried." Kikiyo answered as her soul collectors began to surround her and Kohaku.

"As you wish Lady Kikiyo." Kohaku was heard as he allowed the soul collector to surround him.

Once they were both surrounded by the group of soul collectors, Kikiyo and Kohaku began their trip toward the western lands. As the son began to set, and as they began to get closer to the lands, Kikiyo had her soul collectors places them on the ground. The clearing was open and allowed the full moon to give them light without having to make a fire. Once they were on the ground, Kohaku turned to Kikiyo and asked, "What's wrong Lady Kikiyo? Are we going to go after a jewel shard first?"

"No, I believe I will get my answers in a while, Kohaku I suggest you go on ahead of me. You must also make sure that your sister is alright." Kikiyo answered as she walked over to a nearby tree and sat by it.

"Is she in danger?" Kohaku asked in a worried voice.

"No, but I would like it if you want to go and make sure." Kikiyo answered.

"Feh, the others are fine, but it'd do Sango some good if she saw you kid." Inuyasha's low growl was heard as he entered the clearing.

"Inuyasha." Kikiyo greeted.

"What do you mean?" Kohaku asked as he walked over to the hanyou. "Is she alright? Did the monk leave her? What happened?"

"No, she just needs some support kid. I suggest you get moving." Inuyasha growled.

Understanding that Kikiyo and he needed to talk about something very important, Kohaku nodded his head and said, "I'll return to you later Lady Kikiyo. Once I have made sure that my sister will be alright."

Once Kohaku was out of sight and out of hearing range, Inuyasha took a step closer to Kikiyo. Kikiyo locked eyes with the worried hanyou and took in a calm breath before saying, "I can tell that something has happened to my reincarnation Inuyasha. I would like to know what and how this has come to occur."

"If I tell you, you will have to give your word that you are going to help me save her…no matter what it is that you have to do." Inuyasha growled back.

"I will try what I can but if it will keep me from completing my task then I will do no such thing." Kikiyo answered as she kept her cold eyes locked with her former lovers.
