A/N: Me: ok, everyone's awake now.

Inuyasha: why do my ears hurt?

Me: uhhh… on with the story

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha (looks around and whispered) but I wish I owned his ears.

Chapter 13

Kagome grabbed the Tetsuaiga and rushed back into the room. There she saw Inuyasha and Koga staring at Aimi, who was dressed as a warrior.

Inuyasha! she thought as she rushed forward.

"Inuyasha!" she shouted. As he turned, Kagome threw the Tetsuaiga, which he caught and slowly turned back into his old, half demon, self.

"Inuyasha," she rushed to Inuyasha, hugging him around the neck and kissing him.

At first, Inuyasha was surprised but he gradually eased into the kiss. He nibbled her bottom lip for entrance, which she gladly. She had never felt such pleasure, such joy. She was finally, in Inuyasha's arms.

Koga growled and began to advance but a great wall of fire stopped him.

"You do not deserve Kagome's love," Aimi said, menace in her voice. "You don't deserve her love."

"What are you going to do about it?" asked Koga, laughing. Aimi smiled.

"I'll just change your destiny." A powerful wind rose and Koga was slammed against the wall. The wall chained him there.

"I will give you two chooses," said Aimi, stepping forward. "I could take your life force again, or you will give me my jewel that is in your wrist, leave Kagome and Inuyasha alone. And allow me to change your true love so you will not be lonely and you would be with someone who truly loves you."

Before Koga could answer, an arrow shot toward her. It hit her right side, penetrating her stone armor. She clutched her wound, to see a man, bow raised, standing on the open window. Her eyes widened.

"No. Not You!"

The fire wall went out, Koga fell to the ground and Aimi began to fall apart. Her sword went out, her shield melted and her armor crumbled into dirt.

Hearing Aimi's words, Kagome and Inuyasha broke apart and looked at the window.

"What is it?" asked Kagome, as Inuyasha pulled her protectively toward his chest, protectively.

"Snake demon," he growled, in a low voice. "From the continent."

"Inuyasha!" Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, and surprisingly Myouga, came rushing through the door. They stopped to stare at the scene in front of them.

Kagome pulled to Inuyasha's chest, Koga on the floor, rubbing his head, and Aimi, backing into the wall, staring at the continental snake demon in the window, with his bow raised.

"Is that…" Sango started. Myouga nodded.

"Yes, that is Sokarayo, Aimi's rival lover."

"Wounderful to sssssee you again, Aimi," he hissed, forked tongue protruding from his mouth.

"Wh…what do you want Sokarayo?" asked Aimi, cowering in a corner.

"I have come for you, of courssse ."

"I told you, I would never…"

"Never go with me. You love HIM." Tears began to fall from Aimi's emerald eyes. "But he'sss dead. You know that. I know that. We both know that. Ssso, why don't you be my mate?"

"Because I don't love you!" she yelled, tears falling from her eyes. "I love him. I always will love him."

"But if he had loved you, he would not have died. He would have sssurvived for you. He obviously doesss not love you."

"I don't care," said Aimi, trying hard to remain conscience. "I will love him always, just like Kagome will love Inuyasha or like Sango will love Miroku. They will love each other always.

"If I could, I would follow him to the ends of the earth but I can't. I have a job to do that I have been slacking. But dead or alive I will love him, and only him. I will be fateful to him. But you," she looked at Sokarayo with disgust. "No one could love you and no one ever will. You are too black hearted and you only look for someone with beauty and power. No one could ever love you."

"SSSSILENCCCCE!" hissed Sokarayo, his eyes blazing with fury. "How dare you ssspeck to me in sssuch a way?"

Aimi tried to make herself as small as possible.

"How dare you. You know you will never sssee your lover again and you ssstill deny me? You shall regret the day you were born!!!"

A/N: Me: yuck. I hate snakes. That is why he's my bad guy.

Inuyasha: a continental snake demon? What so bad about that?

Me: acid tongue, poisonous fangs, poisonous skin and a bunch of other stuff.

Aimi: sounds scary

Me: it is

Inuyasha: he doesn't sound so tough

Me: (rolls eyes) right so stay tuned and please review.
