A/N: Here's the next one! Oh, I also added a new S/K lemon story up as an apology for chapter 11.

Chapter 13: Fade To Black

~KAGOME~

I knew he was there just as I steeped through the door. I heard his voice, it sounded almost sad. His guitar playing was perfect. I didn't expect any less though. I walked forward, not know what he was going to do when he saw me but I didn't have anything to lose.

I wasn't sure if he noticed me, but if he did he didn't show it. The song was revealing, it showed me his soul. I only stood and listened, not wanting to surprise him if he hadn't noticed me. His eyes were closed, his hands knowing where to go instinctively. It was like when I was playing the piano, or the drums. The song didn't last much longer and when it ended he looked up at me. He smirked but I knew it wasn't because he was happy I was there.

He moved his guitar back into the stand and took a few steps forward, to the edge of the stage. I knew he wasn't back to the Inuyasha of before. He was still the one who wanted to hurt me. His eyes were unreadable, his body not letting me know what he was going to do. I wasn't standing because I was confident. I was standing because I was going to die one way or the other, and this way I could at least see his face.

"So the stupid girl returns. Where's the rest of the gang?" His voice sounded a little cruel, almost sadistic. Is he degenerating that fast?

"It's only me Inuyasha. I won't let you destroy the friendships you've made with Sango and Miroku. I'm the only one you can hurt, the only one you will hurt." I pretended to be strong but inside I was already starting to numb myself. It would be easier to die if I didn't care about living.

He jumped off the stage, walking slowly up to me.

"Kagome, do you think you can do anything to me? Anything at all? I know your secrets. The past you've tried to keep hidden. I know it all." He stopped when he was standing right in front of me. He looked me up and down, his eyes stopping on my arm.

"You've been bad again Kagome. You were supposed to stop that after to entered my brother's canter. But you haven't. Maybe you should be punished, like you used to get punished." He grabbed my upper arms and held me tightly. I felt the pain but barely reacted. I had gotten used to being bruised.

"What's wrong? Scared? Or are you just going to let me do this cause you want me? Is that why you were teasing me? Your father was right, you are nothing but a whore." His voice was calm, his words were like knives. I couldn't believe he knew about it. How much did he know?

"Oh and I've got some news for you Kagome. I know where Sota is." My entire body stopped. I felt cold. How? How had he found out about Sota? It was the one thing only a few doctors and others knew.

"You lie..." My voice was barely a whisper. He shook his head, the evil smile appearing on his face again.

"Nope, I know exactly where he is." His eyes flashed red, the color scaring me. His hands moved to my wrists, lifting up my sleeve. The cuts were all different shade of red, the scabs varying in size and color depending on the time it had been between the time the cuts were made. The newer ones almost sparkled.

"Naughty girl, Kagome. Maybe I should teach you a lesson!" Inuyasha pulled me towards him, his body feeling warm, but wrong, against mine. His body did react to me, his growl letting me know he did want my body. I pulled away from my body more, not wanting to feel what he wanted to do. I had done it before when my 'father' had done it, I could do it then.

I hadn't noticed we moved, it was a side effect of closing off my body from my soul. I felt my back against the stage, his body warm and hard over mine. Inuyasha's hands moved under my shirt, roughly pinching my nipples, squeezing my breasts painfully. His mouth was at my neck, biting down, almost drawing blood. It wasn't the mating ritual demons had. I knew that much. It was just to hurt me.

"Oh c'mon whore. The least you can do is enjoy it." Inuyasha used his claws to slash my pants open, getting my panties at the same time. I was exposed to him and against my will my body was his to play with. His claws fingers hurt my core. I may have been getting pleased by default but it was not pleasurable. His fingers entered me, making me feel even more violated, tears escaped my eyes. He laughed.

"Oh this is perfect! I've always wanted to break a girl like you. To show you that if you dress like a whore, act like a whore, you'll be treated like a whore. Inuyasha ripped my shirt open with his teeth, biting my nipples, making me scream from the pain. That scream made it all worse. He started doing anything he could to make me cry out. His claws and teeth bruising me and making me cry more.

Inuyasha must have gotten bored with what he was doing because he stooped touching me. I opened my eyes to see him pulling his pants down, revealing his hard member. My body involuntarily pulsed for him, wanting his touch. My soul almost fully left my body. All he'd have was my body. My mind was not going to be there. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for his assault. I knew it was going to be the exact way it went with my 'father.' I didn't expect his voice. His soft voice

"Kagome, I...I can't control it!" It was Inuyasha's voice, the one i came to love. I felt him pulling back, heard a zipper and the felt a cloth over me. Opening my eyes I saw it was his shirt, and that he'd moved to the other side of the stage. I covered myself with the shirt, sitting myself up.

"Inuyasha, what is it?" He was shaking, like he was fighting something.

"I can't let you get hurt by me...but the demon won't let me.." He screamed. He sounded like he was in pain, his eyes showing more pain than I thought any one could show. I wanted to get closer but I couldn't. My body was still acting like it used to, like when my 'father' would touch me. I wouldn't move for a period of time.

All I could do was watch as Inuyasha fought his inner demon. His hair changed from silver to black and back. The dog ears on his head disappeared and reappeared. His eyes switched between red and amber. It was all scary and I couldn't move.

And then everything happened so fast. Sango and Miroku ran inside, both going right to Inuyasha. Ayame cam running behind them, helping me off the stage and away from it all. I kept trying to see where Inuyasha was, what was happening with him. I saw Miroku and Sango trying to talk to him, make him go back to normal. I knew it was going to be the last time I saw him. Everything went black.

I awoke but I knew I wasn't in the human world. I was inside my own mind, laying under a cherry blossom tree. There was a set of drums and a guitar. I knew what I had to do. I stood and slowly walked towards the drums, sitting down and closing my eyes. I awaited my cue.

I heard the guitar being picked up and saw Inuyasha. He was the same he'd been when I met him. Long silver hair, deep amber eyes, adorable dog ears on his head. He nodded at me letting me know I was right.

He started the song. Even though we were the only ones there we heard the other instruments coming in as well. He started singing, his voice haunting.

Inuyasha watched me as we played. His eyes were full of sadness and I knew mine reflected it. My body was as it had been before the darkness came. Bruised and cut up. Almost naked too.

As the music played the scene changed. The world we'd been in was breaking revealing a world of darkness and emptiness.

I knew what was coming. I allowed it to come. We played till the very end, together in death.

A/N: OMG are they really dead? I don't know! OK that's a lie but I kinda think it's a good place to end this chapter...R&R and tell me you hate me for ending it like this. It is not the end, there's more to come!
