Disclaimer:... I have no claim on anything!

icygirl2: thanks for forgiving me about me last long wait! I hope you can forgive me for this one too... you know exam time and all but no worries in the next little while I'll be updating like CRAZY! Haha thanks for the review!

bluediamond-hime: Well this chapter isn't quite as long as the other one but I think you'll still enjoy it! As far as Leigh is concerned... well you'll just have to wait and see about what's up with her! Haha... keep up the reviews I really love them!

All of the camp was up within seconds of Leigh's screams.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Inuyasha asked rushing over to Miroku who was bending over Leigh's still form.

"Miroku… what happened?" Kagome said as she too bent low over Leigh.

"What did you do now you lecher!" Sango said roughly and slightly angry.

"I didn't do anything… I swear!" Miroku said hurt, "She came back from washing her shirt and I told her she should get some sleep and there was nothing to worry about… then I asked if she'd seen Koga and said she hadn't and then she asked if he would be alright and she sounded really concerned… then she just… started screaming…"

"Yah, I'll be alright so long as you keep her away from me…" Came Koga's deep voice from the darkness of the trees.

"KOGA! What are you doing? Where have you been?" Miroku asked.

"Well I had gone to keep Leigh company while she washed her shirt… but then she freaked out and tried to kill me!" He said leaving out the part where she had aroused him, "I swear… she turned into her demon form… her eyes turned red…" he finished trailing off.

"What?" Kagome said almost falling from shock, "Leigh would never kill anyone… never…"

"Kagome… that wasn't Leigh!" Koga said reproachfully, "She seemed possessed or something…"

"Well she isn't a demon any longer…" Inuyasha said, "She doesn't have the faintest sent of in on her!"

"Yah well that's the odd thing… she didn't smell of demon… at all!" Koga said slowly approaching the limp form of the half naked girl.

"I don't understand…" Sango said.

"I don't think any of us do!" Inuyasha said looking at Leigh's still form.

"Leigh… Leigh can you hear me? Leigh? Come on!" Kagome said shaking her.

"Kagome… stop, you could hurt her!" Sango said stepping towards her.

Suddenly without warning Leigh's form started to shake uncontrollably. Her eyelids were moving rapidly.

"What the HELL!" Inuyasha said rushing to hold her body still.

"LEIGH! STOP IT! Inuyasha make her STOP!" Kagome cried tears rushing down her face.

The pain… the fear… it was all happening again. She was running away from him but she wasn't fast enough. Soon she felt his hands snake around her neck and waist like a python. Twisting her around and throwing her to the ground. No matter how hard she fought back he would just hit her harder. His face looming over her calling her a stupid bitch and she was going to get what she deserved for denying him since the wedding. He held her hands above her head to keep control of her fists. His body was sprawled out on top of her. But with one quick trust with her knee she managed to hit him…

"Her heart is racing!" Inuyasha said as he tried to stabilize Leigh.

"Oh my god!" Kagome cried in a harsh whisper. Bruises were forming every where on her body. Ones on her arms like hands, one on her neck like a snake, a black eye. Slowly cuts began to form, Leigh's lip swelled, her knees were scraped. There were ominous markings high on her thighs, but there was nothing the small group could do. Finally Leigh stopped moving, her body was as still as if she was dead. They could barely see her chest rising and falling from breathing.

"What did you do to her?" Kagome said turning on Koga.

"WHAT… I didn't touch her!" Koga retorted, slightly affronted.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Kagome yelled as she beat his chest.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said coming to tare her off the wolf demon.

"Koga didn't cause these markings." Miroku said as he ran his hand over the bruises on Leigh's face, "I would have noticed when she came back. These are old, it's like she was reliving the time in which these occurred and something made them reappear."

Gaining control of herself Kagome whipped her tears, "Koga I'm sorry I ever suspected you of hurting her."

There was a beat of silence.

"I know," said Koga taking hold of Kagome's hands, "You just care for her so much. I know you'll make a perfect wife for our children."

"WHY YOU!" Inuyasha began.

"So, are you all sure you can't sense anything wrong with her?" Koga asked letting go of Kagome's hands, "I mean if she wouldn't normally try to kill someone or have convulsions… then what made her do it?"

"Well it's possible that Midori was awoken… but I was under the impression that Midori was a peaceful demon…" Miroku suggested.

"Me too…" Sango said.

"I can't sense anything." Kagome said half-heartedly, "Besides that wouldn't explain the bruises."

"Unless it was Midori's memory…" Sango said.

"I don't smell anything wrong…" Inuyasha agreed.

"I haven't been able to pick up on anything!" Miroku said a little worried.

"Kagome…" Shippo said speaking for the first time in a while, "Is Leigh going to be okay?"

"Oh of course she is! She's a strong girl! Don't you worry Shippo." Kagome said taking the little fox demon into her arms.

Koga slowly knelt down beside Leigh and looked at her. Her face was pale and unnaturally still. Her long dark ebony hair was swirled out around underneath her like a gorgeous fan. Her wet shirt lay rumpled and dusted in dirt beside her. The flames from the fire danced across her face casting shadows over her eyes. Gently he shook off the dirt from her shirt and laid it by the fire to dry. Turning back to Leigh's unconscious form he listened carefully to her breathing. It was deep and regular, almost peaceful.

"Well there's not much we can do right now… she's fast asleep." Koga said to the others.

"I guess… we'll just have to wait until morning…" Miroku said.

"Yah, but I think someone should watch over her tonight…" Kagome said about to volunteer herself.

"I'll do it!" Koga said as he laid a blanket on top of Leigh's body for warmth.

"Are you sure Koga… I mean you said she's already tried to kill you once…" Kagome began.

"Don't worry about it… I'm the only one here that can handle no sleep seeing as how I'm a demon and all…"

"WHAT!" Inuyasha roared, "You are not the only demon here!"

"Good as… you little Halfling!" Koga said equally as heated.

"ENOUGH!" Sango said abruptly, "We've all had a long hard day! Let's stop this stupid fighting! Something is very wrong with Leigh and I don't think waking her up with your yelling is going to make matters any better!"

"She has a point…" Miroku chipped in.

"Fine… but I'm staying on guard duty also…" Inuyasha said brooding.

"Fine do what you want Mutt-face…" Koga said turning back to sit at Leigh's feet.

"Enough Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered in his ear laying her hand on his arm again.

Sighing heavily Inuyasha turned away from the taunt and sat on the other side glaring into the flames.

Morning came in a shower of an array of orange, yellow, and red beams. Koga sat in the same spot watching Leigh carefully and Inuyasha on the other side also keeping a watchful eye on the young girl. Slowly the rest of the group woke hoping last night's events were mere dreams, only to realize they weren't.

They all tentatively approached the now fully clothed Leigh in baited breath.

"How is she?" Kagome asked kneeling beside Koga, gazing down at her cousin. The bruises were still there but fading at the touch of the sun's rays.

"She hasn't moved an inch all night… literally." True to his word barely a hair was out of place other than form when he slipped her dry shit back on.

"Should we wake her?" Sango asked.

"I don't think it would hurt to try…" Miroku said looking at Leigh's still form.

"Leigh…" Kagome began placing a hand on her shoulder.

Instantly Leigh's eyes flew open and to Koga's relief they were once again their dazzling blue.

"What… where… how'd I get back here!" Leigh said in a breathy voice. Her whole body ached.

"Leigh… do you remember anything from last night?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, of course. Why?"

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"Washing the blood out of my shirt… Did I fall asleep by the river? How'd I get back to camp?"

"Do you seriously not remember?" Koga asked.

"Remember what! What aren't you telling me!" Leigh asked frightened.

"Leigh… you tried to kill Koga last night… then you came back to camp and well you had some sort of fit!" Kagome said hurriedly hoping that if she said it fast it wouldn't hurt as much.

"I… WHAT!" Leigh yelled jumping to her feet only to have no strength and collapse right into Koga's arms.

"You tried to kill me." Koga said calmly, placing her back down.

"You're a liar! I would never do that! Never…" Leigh trailed off.

"Leigh… it's okay… we believe you! We think that maybe Midori took over…" Kagome said touching her cousin reassuringly.

"No… no. It wasn't her…" Leigh said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked.

"I can sense her… sort of… I can sometimes feel the power of her and the Kokoro inside me. But I never felt her last night."

"Leigh can you remember anything else?" Miroku prodded her.

"I… remember my chest hurting… a lot!"

"That must have been when you screamed… This is rather odd… rather odd indeed…" Miroku said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Leigh are you sure you have no other memories from last night?" Kagome said now sitting beside her cousin still gazing at the bruises, which Leigh hadn't noticed yet.

"No… I…" Leigh began as the memory of that night came back to her.

"Leigh… where did these bruises come from?" Kagome finally asked gesturing to the fading marks on Leigh's body.

"What… oh my god…" Leigh said as she noticed her bruises were back. Tears rushed to her eyes but she refused to let them fall.

"What happened? We know they aren't fresh." Miroku said in a very friendly and coaxing voice.

"I…" Leigh began trying to think of a lie to tell them.

"Leigh, you can trust us." Inuyasha said kneeling right in front of her. His amber eyes gazing into her own blue ones and full of pure friendship.

"Their from Jason…" Leigh said in a whisper bowing her head as she heard Kagome let out a stifled scream.
