Helloooooo. It's me! And here's chapter THREE! ..I Mean..Twelve.. Lol sorry people.


Chapter Twelve: Blood

"Ye must go back to Sango, Kilala. Thank ye for bringing him to me."

Kilala nodded and flew back into the sky as Keade awoke some of the village men to help her carry Kohaku inside and onto a bed.

"What has happened, priestess?" on of the men said.

"Is there an evil among us?" another one asked.

"Calm, good people. Calm. 'Tis nothing to trouble ye spirits. Ye may go back to ye homes and rest now. I thank ye for assistance." Keade said to them.

"Hai." the said in unison, before heading back to they're homes.

Keade felt Kohaku's pulse. Almost gone. But there.

He started to move a little.

"Kohaku, are ye alright child?" she said as he tried to open his eyes.

"Sango.." he managed to choke out. "Where is Sango?"

He tried to sit up but Keade kept him in place. "Ye needs to lay down. You mustn't move."

Every move Kohaku made felt like he was getting punched in the stomach. He didn't put up much of a fight and let Keade keep him down.

"I.. have to go..back." he said as he coughed. "I have..to protect her."

"Just relax, child." Keade said as she fed him some water.

Kohaku tried to say something. But the pain over powered him. And with a final groan, he blacked out.

Silently, Kaeade started to chant a spell.


"Don't do this Nikko!" Kagome yelled up at him.

"But dearest, I already have." he said with a maniacal chuckle.

It was dark, thunder still rolled in. Lightning crashed above the fire that surrounded them and the castle.

"Your not going to get away with this." Inuyasha yelled back at him.

Nikko laughed. "Again, dear friend, I already have." he said as his eyes slowly began to turn from red to black.

Kagome let out a scream.

"Kagome! What's wrong?" Inuyasha said to her.

Kagome held her head, feeling as if a hundred razor sharp knives were carving the inside of her skull. The pain caused her to drop to her knees in agony.

Nikko cackled. "I can do whatever I want with her, and you cant stop me. Not that you ever could."

Inuyasha snarled. "Why I oughta-"

"Inuyasha.." Kagome said in a pained voice. "..get..away from..me.. Run."

"Not a chance! I'm not leaving without you." Inuyasha said as he grabbed her shoulders.

Kagome grabbed his arms tightly, her sharp nails growing long and plunging into him.

Inuyasha let out a cry and broke away from her.

"I didn't mean to Inuyasha! Please! Just go!" Kagome yelled at him.

"Shut up! I'm not leaving you behind!" Inuyasha barked.

"And how right you are, Inuyasha." Nikko said as he smirked. "You see, Kagome isn't only going to torture you, she's going to obliterate you."

Inuyasha glared daggers at him. "Why can't you fight your own damn battles? Stop being a coward and fight me!" he yelled as he ran for the castle.

"Iron Reaver!" he slashed Nikko with his claws.

He heard Kagome let out another blood curdling scream.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he ran to her. She was on the floor. He picked her up ad saw that she had four bloodly claw slashes spreading across her rib cage, just below her breast.

Nikko chortled as he stood unharmed. "Don't you see, you imprudent half-breed. She is within me, I control her. You attack me, she obtains the benefits. You try to kill me, she dies along with me."

"No! I won't let that happen!" Inuyasha yelled out.

Nikko smiled. "Then give up and die."

Kagome disappeared from his arms and appeared standing in front of him a few feet away.

"And you know what?" he went on. "Lucky for the both of you, I have no power over her mind. So when she finishes of that fatal last blow on you, she'll be very conscious of what she's done."

"Inuyasha, please! Get away from me!" she called out to him.

Inuyasha stood his ground. "I'll set you free, Kagome. If it's the last thing I do."

He ran for Nikko. Nikko raised his hand, making Kagome raise her hand in the process, and out of her palms she flung razor-sharp blades, straight towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha dodged most of them, but was sliced right under his eye. Inuyasha touched his face and looked at the crimson red blood that tipped his fingers.

"Kagome! I need you to fight it!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

Kagome tried to attack Nikko.

"Nah ah ah." Nikko said.

Kagome screeched as she held her head again.

"You will obey me."

"DAMN YOU!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Inuyasha! GET OUT OF HERE!"Kagome yelled at him.

Inuyasha ran to her, and grabbed her by her shoulders. "Stop it! Take control of yourself Kagome! You have to!"

Using Kagome's body, Nikko used his invisible energy to shove him backwards. Inuyasha crashed to the ground a few feet away from her. He got back on his feet.

"I cant!" Kagome said as she ran towards him, a sword in her hand.

Inuyasha took out the Tetsuaiga, just in time for it to collide with Kagome's sword.

"Now's not the time for you to be weak Kagome! Stop letting him control you! He said he can't control your mind. Use it!" Inuyasha said as he dodged the swipe of her sword.

"I don't want to hurt you." Kagome said as tears started to well up in her eyes.

Nikko was sick of the talking. "Enough! Time to finish you off! Die, Inuyasha!"

He made Kagome take a stab at him. Inuyasha nearly missed it. "Kagome!"

"Run!" Kagome screamed. She whipped the sword through the air, cutting a large gash in his arm and face. Inuyasha grunted at the pain that shot up his arm, But wasn't about to give up.

Nikko let out a shout of frustration and made Kagome plunge the sword into the air again. This time hitting it's target.

Silence.

Kagome backed away from him.

Inuyasha dropped the Tetsuaiga and held his punctured stomach.

Blood spurted from his lips as he fell on his knees.

"Don't let him..control you Kagome."

"Inuyasha.." Kagome let the tears roll down her face. She dropped the sword that was covered in his blood.

"FINISH HIM OFF!" Nikko bellowed, making Kagome take out her bow and arrow, and aim it straight at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha smirked at her, letting a large drop of blood roll down from the corner of his mouth.

"You're stronger than this, Kagome." he said . "Go ahead, finish me off. I've got nothin' without you."

Kagome's hands shook, as her tears fogged her vision. Being controlled by Nikko, Kagome pulled back her arrow, getting ready to shoot.

She knew exactly what she had to do to save him. And it would be too late for Nikko to control her after she has done it.

From the look in her eyes, Inuyasha knew she was planning something. Instantly it clicked in his head. "Kagome, no! Don't you dare!"

"I love you, Inuyasha." she whispered to him through her tears.

"DO IT!" Nikko demanded.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha tried to get up to stop her, but because of his wound he didn't have the strength to move yet.

"Burn in hell, Nikko!" Kagome screeched as she swiftly spun around and shot her arrow straight for Nikko's heart.

Nikko stared wide-eyed as the sacred arrow broke through his barriers and plunged right into his chest. A huge blast echoed throughout the mountains.

"NOO!" Inuyasha yelled.

Nikko let out a cry as the arrow sliced through him, purifying and removing her blood from his body, including the six, now newly untainted jewel shards. Which laid in a new chunk of the Shikon Jewel. Nikko tried to pick it up, but the jewel disappeared, much to his frustration.

Inuyasha forced himself up and ran towards Kagome, who was now on the floor.

He dropped to his knees by her. "Kagome..Kagome!" he said as he shook her shoulders. He could smell her blood in his nose. Lots of it. Oh, how he hated that smell.

He could see the sticky dark red substance beginning to soak the sweater she was wearing. It began to pool around her.

Kagome didn't open her eyes. She wasn't breathing. Her face, unmoving.

"You get up right now, Kagome! You're not leaving me here!" Inuyasha said as he shook her again.

She didn't move.

"Kagome.." he choked on her name.

Kagome was dead. And he knew it.


NOOOOOOOOO! SHES DEAD! WHY OH WHY! :'( She sacrificed her life. It's just like her to do that. Sorry people! I had to cut this chapter short. If I went on it would have been too long. Find out What happens next, REVIEEWWWWSS! Lol Love ya!
