A/N: Edited on 12/14/15
Kagome was trying to keep her composure as best she could, but it was deteriorating rather quickly. She wished she could slam both of them into the ground instead of only InuYasha. These two didn't understand the meaning of 'not fighting over her'.
"Kouga, InuYasha, I told you where I stand on this. Can we stop fighting? Its pointless to fight over what is already been resolved." Kagome huffed.
"Stay out of this bitch." InuYasha hissed.
"Well...is that how you treat Kagome, mutt?" Kouga snapped.
"I'll be treating you like a corpse in a minute." InuYasha spat.
"Kouga, what do you want?" Kagome said, stepping in front if InuYasha.
"Heh, I actually wouldn't mind taking your shards, Kagome." Kouga teased. "Honestly, mutt wanted to be a full demon and he is. So what do you need them for?" Kouga hopped off the boulder and went a tad further away from both of them. "Neither of you are looking for Naraku. So I'll put them to good use."
"You want Kagome, wolf." InuYasha hissed. "Not her shards."
"Both would be a nice package, yes."
"Wolf..." InuYasha's demonic aura flared.
"Kouga!" Kagome snapped, "I can't just give you the shards, and I'm devoted to InuYasha. Can we please end this dispute? I've made my decision and it's final." Kagome sighed at Kouga. "But I still don't want you to get hurt over me Kouga. You're still a friend."
"Heh." Kouga frowned and stared at InuYasha. "Actually I came from battlefield and was a little worried since your scent was all over the place, Kagome."
"I'm fine" Kagome reassured the wolf. "Nothing life threatening."
"Kouga, did you come from the bone graveyard?" Sango asked.
"Yea, dead bone demons everywhere." Kouga snorted. "And I smelled a lot of YOUR blood." Kouga pointed an accused finger at InuYasha. "I thought you were dead."
"Wouldn't that have made your day." InuYasha spat.
"Look Kouga, we haven't seen Naraku since the last time you were here." Kagome said. "We're kind of in a hurry."
"In a hurry for what, mutt's funeral?" Kouga laughed.
"That's it!" Before Kagome could move InuYasha charged at Kouga, slicing at him with his claws.
Kouga leaped out of the way, cartwheeling across the clearing. "Heh, bring it mutt! Let's see how a half-demon uses what he never had." Kouga smirked. Kagome face paled and InuYasha just snarled.
"Want to repeat that?" InuYasha growled. Cracking his claws, InuYasha charged at Kouga again, slicing into the air in front of him. As expected Kouga moved with the Shikon no Jewel shard speed, but InuYasha swerved expecting the wolf to fall into the trap and unleashed four of his claw attacks. All barely hit the wolf in the chest shoving him into the brush. InuYasha stopped and smirked.
"Hate being hit wolf?" InuYasha smirked. "Maybe you out got to think before you just dodge." Kouga's head popped out of the brush with a snarl on his face. A good amount of blood was leaking out from the four scratches in his chest. InuYasha didn't know why he held back and didn't aim the claw attack to go straight thru the wolf's gut.
"You''ll pay for that mutt." Kouga growled.
"Heh, try it wolf. Next time I won't just scratch you. I'll cut you straight thru." InuYasha smirked.
"Do they realize how immature they're acting?" Miroku asked.
"No." Sango snorted.
"I'm afraid not." Kagome put her hand over her eyes. She sneaked a glance at Sesshomaru, who was watching the whole 'fight' with a disapproving glare. Rin and Jaken were watching with curious eyes, but Jaken's curiosity was slowly turning into a deep frown. InuYasha cracked his claws in front of his face, giving the wolf a glare only meaning 'You want to continue, you die'. Kouga snarled, and stood up straight.
"You think you know a thing about being with Kagome?" Kouga snorted. "You know nothing, you haven't even been with her yet!"
"Excuse me?" InuYasha snarled. "Since when were you the expert? You still smell inexperienced!"
"Oh Gods..." Kagome felt like she was going to faint embarrassment if these two didn't switch topics fast.
"Heh, I've seen it on more then one occasion, mutt." Kouga snapped. "I do have a pack you know."
"So do I." InuYasha snapped.
"Oh, so you've seen the exterminator and the monk go at it?" Kouga glanced at Sango and Miroku, who's faces were turning red rapidly. "They don't smell..." BONK! The Hiraikotsu came flying and hit Kouga square on the head.
"Don't bring us into this you two morons!" Sango roared. Her face was as red as InuYasha's fire rat.
"Kouga, that was wrong to say." Kagome gave the wolf a glare.
"Ouch exterminator." Kouga glared at Sango. "At least I don't enjoy beating woman."
"I'm afraid, I would be using my wind tunnel if you were to do that." Miroku said.
"Not interested." Kouga said.
"Then you can die or go wolf!" InuYasha roared. He stepped up, and growled and then stopped suddenly. One of his ears flicked and he whipped his head around and rapidly started to scan the forest terrain.
"InuYasha is something wrong?" Miroku asked.
"Shut it." InuYasha snapped, his ears up on full alert. InuYasha's behavior caught the eye of Sesshomaru and he tentatively put a hand on Tokijin's hilt.
"Nose caught the scent of food?" Kouga snorted. InuYasha gave Kouga a dirty look. He began to scan the sky, and gripped Tessaiga's hilt tightly.
"I smell you..." InuYasha growled.
"InuYasha, what are you doing?" Kagome asked. She gripped her bow tightly, and reached behind her back to grab an arrow. InuYasha was definitely in battle stance, but she wasn't sensing anything. And by her friends, Kouga, and Sesshomaru's faces they weren't either. She was glad that a deserted village was nearby and had restocked on arrows. Her bow had been easily repaired by Sango. Now, it looks like battle was coming to them sooner then they thought.
"What is with you mutt?" Kouga snorted. "You getting all nervous over nothing. Unless it's me you're scared of." Kouga smiled at that.
"Heh, you wish Kouga." InuYasha snorted. "Its that demon that attacked me earlier."
"The imaginary demon, you mean." Shippo said.
"Shut it runt." InuYasha snorted.
"InuYasha..." Kagome started.
"Humph. Obviously your nose is broken mutt-face." Kouga snorted. "I for one, don't smell any demon that already isn't in this field."
"Heh, I'll kill him first. Then I'll get back to you wolf." InuYasha growled.
"InuYasha, may I ask, where is he?" Miroku asked. InuYasha glared at the monk. He appeared to believe that InuYasha wasn't just seeing an illusion anymore.
"Don't know where, but he's here. I can smell him." InuYasha replied.
"And to what my I ask, are you smelling brother?" Sesshomaru glared. Seeing that the fight between the two males about the priestess had been put on hold. Sesshomaru felt it was the most appropriate to enter without conflict.
"Heh, you really can't smell it can you?" Sesshomaru glanced at InuYasha thinking InuYasha was telling him off with sarcasm, but his face looked rather serious. His face was in a deep frown, and he looked at all of them. When no one answered InuYasha couldn't help but feel worried. What was this thing? Suddenly bushes jerked on the side of the path, making InuYasha grip Tessaiga tighter, and glance up and around. The others seemed to get ready for battle, but had confused looks. They couldn't sense or smell anything, and had no idea where to look.
"Mutt, I say we finish this. I'm not going to let you waste my time." Kouga snorted.
"Just shut the fuck up wolf!" InuYasha bellowed. "Run with your tail in-between your legs! I'm not going to finish anything with you since there was nothing to finish!"
InuYasha suddenly felt cold. He whipped his head around, almost elbowing Sesshomaru in the process, as his eyes tried to follow an extremely fast movement that had caught his eye. InuYasha could feel the presence of the demon close. He couldn't forget it. 'Damn he's fast.' InuYasha mused. This made Kouga as if he was just taking a walk. It was really making InuYasha rather nervous. Miroku thought it might be a God, and InuYasha was starting to believe that was exactly what he was dealing with.
"Hey Miroku, you know what I'm dealing with here?" InuYasha asked the monk.
"What do you mean InuYasha?" Miroku asked.
"You thought this demon was a God, well?" InuYasha glared at him.
Miroku shook his head. "It was only a theory."
"Well, it might as well be reality." InuYasha snapped. "I've never seen a demon move this fast."
Kagome looked around. She couldn't see anything moving as fast as what InuYasha was describing. She was getting really worried that InuYasha was really seeing anything at all. That night they had been attacked on the hill, she had a feeling InuYasha had already killed whatever it had been. The marks of Tessaiga lay in the ground which pretty much showed that InuYasha had used all his strength to kill whatever had attacked them.
"Lord InuYasha?"
InuYasha looked down at his shoulder to see Myoga perched with quite the confused look on his old face. "What?"
"I must say, I don't sense any danger. I believe we're all alone here." Myoga said plainly.
"Lovely, you too." InuYasha groaned. "Why don't you show yourself you son of a bitch! Hue?!" InuYasha yelled in the direction of the woods. Sesshomaru was giving him the most strangest look. InuYasha glared and just stuck up his nose and walked over to the edge of the woods. A quick movement caught his eyes, and he ponced. Ripping out Tessaiga in one quick motion, he sliced through the thicket and bounded after the quick movement. And then it was gone, and InuYasha had only gotten a few leaps before he had been left in the dust.
"Damn it all!" InuYasha roared. "Get your ass back here you stupid demon!"
"InuYasha..." Kagome started. She was really getting worried about him. There was nothing to sense, there was nothing to see, and there was nothing THERE. Closing her eyes, she tried her hardest to sense whatever InuYasha was sensing, but all she got was Kouga's jewel shards and the powerful aura of Sesshomaru. Kagome opened her eyes again and looked at InuYasha, who was stalking the edge of the clearing darting his eyes in quick motions.
"Brother, you are sensing nothing." Sesshomaru glared at InuYasha's back.
"Shut up!" InuYasha snarled. "It's you who aren't sensing anything!"
"InuYasha, there is nothing HERE." Sango said.
"Could it be another one of Naraku's reincarnations?" Shippo asked, quivering.
"We would have sensed him. I'm sure of that Shippo." Miroku said, shaking his head.
"But..." Sango started, then she turned to see InuYasha dart into the thicket once more.
"InuYasha..." Kagome started. She gripped her bow tightly and started to walk over to the thicket and peeked her head through it. Nothing, InuYasha had disappeared from sight. "InuYasha!"
Suddenly a fast blur popped out of woods, and skittered across the path. Kagome gasped as InuYasha rolled over, exposing a deep cut in his shoulder that had cracked his armor and had created a small river of blood running down his sleeve. Snarling like a mad dog, InuYasha gripped Tessaiga tighter and charged, swinging at the woods. Trees started to fall and crash, causing Kagome to jump back as a tree almost fell on her and Sesshomaru.
"What the hell is mutt doing?" Kouga asked, a hint of annoyance and confusion in his voice.
"InuYasha?" Kagome called. She sensed InuYasha's demonic aura flaring, and she suddenly felt either stupid or just plain useless. "InuYasha, can you please stop? There is nothing here!" There was no answer, and now it had gone silent. Kagome, felt the hair on the back of neck stand on end. Where had InuYasha gotten that injury? He couldn't have had such a deep cut from just running into a tree.
"Where did he go?" Sango asked.
Suddenly a loud cry was heard, and everyone looked above them. InuYasha was in the air, swinging Tessaiga at the air in front of him. As Kagome watched, the Tessaiga bounced off off something, causing InuYasha's arm to snap back and make him falter. A gust of wind hit Kagome's face as Sesshomaru disappeared from next to her and shot up in the air to cover InuYasha. Unable to do anything but watch, Kagome stared as InuYasha swung Tessaiga again with his full blunt strength, but whatever he was aiming at, he missed. Sesshomaru appeared next to him, Tokijin drawn, but somewhat unsure. He floated there not attacking. Because like everyone else, he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly InuYasha dove towards the ground, yelling curses the entire way, swinging Tessaiga again. He disappeared once again into the brush. A small trail of blood had been left in the grass behind him. No one could figure out what really had happened, but the blood was proof enough there was defiant danger. Kagome jumped on a now transformed Kirara's back with Miroku and Sango, and the piloted forward after InuYasha.
"InuYasha, what is going on with you?" Kagome asked herself. She noted that Kouga had too joined the chase running with his speed on the forest floor. Kagome had half wished the wolf demon had stayed behind so he wouldn't cause anymore trouble. Apparently not.
"Tessaiga hit something, I saw it." Sango said.
"So did I Sango." Miroku answered, "We are dealing with a demon that can hide both its aura and appearance. I would say this is impossible."
"But why can only InuYasha see it?" Kagome asked.
"I wouldn't know Lady Kagome." Miroku shrugged. "Maybe the demon only wishes to fight InuYasha, and InuYasha alone. By showing its aura and physical being to him only, it is signaling us out. Leaving only InuYasha cable of fighting it."
"But why is it after InuYasha?" Kagome asked, worry leaking through her voice.
"That Kagome," Sango said. "We'll be finding out shortly." Kirara shot through the sky, and stopped just over another clearing. This one was larger, and in the middle was InuYasha holding the fang in front of him. Kagome looked behind her to see Ah-Un with Jaken, Shippo, and Rin floating behind them. Sesshomaru had already beat them, and was on the ground below behind InuYasha.
Kagome looked at InuYasha's face. It was covered in sweat, and some blood was slightly leaking from his mouth. What was scaring her the most was the death glare he was giving, and it was to the air in front of him. Looking down in front of him, Kagome looked for something. Anything that would indicated a physical being was standing there. She saw it, barley. The grass about ten meters in front of InuYasha was slightly pressed in. Meaning two feet where standing there, forcing the blades of grass to the dirt. The real shocking part were those two feet had to be huge. Kagome let out a gulp.
"Heh, finally stopped running to fight, you bastard?" InuYasha snarled. Glancing at his comrades, he noted they were all on Kirara's back. Then he glanced at the large demon in front of him. Now that it was daylight, the features of the demon were more visible. The demon was extremely tall, had large, black like wings that easily were ten of him in wingspan. The two red eyes glared down at him, causing every inch of InuYasha's skin to prickle.
What was funny though, was his face. InuYasha couldn't see his face. It was still as black as night, even the a shadow from the reflection of the sun couldn't cause such a dark shadow. He was hiding his face. InuYasha didn't know if that was a good thing or not. The demon was easily in some kind of black armor, every inch of him was covered with it but his hands it seemed. Though as InuYasha stared at him, it still seemed as if he was staring at him in the dark. Like night followed this demon around hiding almost every little detail about him.
InuYasha gripped Tessaiga tighter and growled. "You obviously didn't learn your first lesson, did you?" InuYasha glared at the fang. None of its previous moves were appearing. Had the sword become worthless once again? InuYasha snarled, this can now only get worse. "What the hell do you want you jackass?" InuYasha snapped.
"You know exactly what this one wants demon."
InuYasha perked his ears up as the black demon spoke. "And what would that be?" InuYasha sneered. The demon didn't answer, and all this was giving shivers up his spine. What did he have that was so intriguing to this demon? Nothing would seem to give him anything...unless it had something to do with his transformation from half-demon to demon. If anything, that had to be it. "Don't have anything you want." InuYasha mused. "You're looking in the wrong place."
"What are you talking to brother?" Sesshomaru glared.
"Apparently nothing, you blind bat." InuYasha snapped. Pulling his attention back to the demon, InuYasha charged and swung Tessaiga to behead the creature, but he dodged and came back slamming a good hit into InuYasha's gut. Losing grip of Tessaiga, InuYasha rolled across the clearing trying to catch his breathe from the blow. "Bastard, you'll pay for that!" InuYasha yelled. Knowing the others were not going to join him in the fight, he unleashed his claw attack letting the blades sweep across the grassy terrain. The demon was quick and avoided the dangerous claw attack and swiped its own. The poisonous claws coming way too close to InuYasha's face for his comfort. Jumping away, InuYasha landed on his feet and swiped his claws again. One successfully hit the demon in the face, and gold blood came squirting out. "Got you, you bastard." InuYasha smirked. Twirling around, InuYasha felt his claws tingle as he cracked his knuckles. Holding his balance, InuYasha shot forward again, swinging his new found claws at the demon. This time aiming to behead him. Unfortunately, that's not what happened.
The claws missed the demon's neck, and InuYasha felt them vibrate again. Shit, they're going to make that noise again! InuYasha thought in horror. InuYasha yanked his hand further back, hoping to avert from having his friends from bleeding out of their ears again. The the claw attack he had just unleashed headed straight for HIM. Before InuYasha could even fathom what had happened, the claw attack sliced into him and slammed him into two trees. InuYasha blinked when he realized that he hadn't been the one controlling the his attack, the demon was!
"What the hell?" InuYasha snarled. Pulling his ears back he lifted his lip exposing a fang. "You bastard!"
"InuYasha!" Kagome watched in horror. His own claw attack had sliced into him, and his body was covered in blood. Suddenly movement below caused her attention to move away from InuYasha to Sesshomaru.
"Dragon Strike." The Demon lord slammed Tokijin in front of him and the blue jet of demonic energy burst forward, eliminating anything in its way.
"Watch where you're aiming that, you ass!" InuYasha yelled. Struggling against his injuries, he managed to free the arm that had been driven into the trunk of one of the trees. When Totosai said these claws had a strong attack, he wasn't kidding. The attack had already sliced through his new armor and sunk thru his ribs getting too close to his heart.
When the smoke cleared from Sesshomaru's attack, InuYasha still saw the demon standing there. He hadn't been fazed at all by Sesshomaru's attack, and InuYasha saw no barrier that surrounded him. Sesshomaru twitched a bit, but said nothing. InuYasha knew his brother had not seen the demon, but knew he was there.
"InuYasha, are you alright?" InuYasha turned his head and saw Kagome running up to him and immediately started to move away from her.
"Get the hell out of here woman!" InuYasha snapped.
"And leave you like this?" Kagome asked. "No!"
"I said get out of here." InuYasha snarled in her face. Kagome couldn't help but stare in his eyes. They were flickering from gold to red, and his face was covered in sweat and blood. Kagome knew he was trying to protect her. She knew it. But she hated being the one always standing on the side and doing nothing to contribute in the battle, but yell out directions for a shard.
"Where is he?" Kagome demanded. InuYasha's face fell.
"I said get out of here Kagome. Did you not hear me?" InuYasha snapped.
"And I said, where is he?" Kagome snapped back. InuYasha glared at her and then at her bow and arrows.
"He's too strong. Your priestess powers won't hurt him." InuYasha spat.
"Oh really?" Kagome griped. "I'll be the judge of that, thank you. Now where is he?"
"Damn it Kagome, get down!" Kagome looked at him, when his arm grabbed her and shoved her hard out the way. Just as Kagome saw three scratches appear along InuYasha's face causing blood to spurt from his cheek. Rolling onto her knees, Kagome couldn't help but be puzzled and angry. What was this thing? Why couldn't she see or sense it? And why was it after InuYasha? Wasting no time, Kagome realized now she only had one chance. Pulling a arrow out and stringing it, she pulled back with all her strength aiming at the air right in front of InuYasha.
"Hit, damn it." Kagome whispered. The pink aura started to light at the arrow head and illuminate her arrow with her priestess aura. She released it, letting the arrow aim straight for where the invisible enemy was suppose to be. Kagome saw InuYasha's head snap up and look at her for an instance, and then at the air in front of him, swiping his uninjured arm. The claw attack bounced off an invisible structure as Kagome's arrow was just about to hit...
It stopped, and jerked in midair. Kagome's eyes widen, and she felt her friends bodies stiffen behind her. How did that...? And then her purification arrow suddenly turned from pink to black.
"What in the world..." Sango started. Kagome felt her whole body freeze, just as the arrow started to shot straight towards HER. Kagome felt her body grow roots and attach to the ground. Her face turning pale.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled, his eyes golden in terror.
"Kagome!" Kagome heard Kouga's voice from behind her, but the wolf was going to slow. It felt like everything just slowed, and Kagome closed her eyes, expecting severe pain to rip thru her. Then as if time stood still, Kagome awaited the arrow. Instead a huge gust of wind hit her hard, and two large arms embraced her in a tight hug and collapsed on her. For a moment Kagome's world went black, but the smell and the sense came back quickly as Kagome opened her eyes to be met with a huge headache. And something extremely heavy on her.
"Ugh..." Kagome felt pain erupt on her shoulder, as she struggled to get out from under of what was on top of her. "Get off of me!"
"Kagome, InuYasha!" Kagome blinked to see Sango's face in view. "Kagome, are you alright?"
"Yea, I just can't...breathe." Kagome coughed.
"What the hell just happened?" Kouga came running up.
"Lady Kagome, hold still! InuYasha was hit with the arrow." Miroku came up and gripped his friends shoulder. He hadn't seen at all what had happened, he just knew somehow InuYasha had gotten over the sever pain he was in and had manged to get in front of the arrow before it hit Kagome. Unfortunately, the half-demon now demon had the arrow sticking out of his back shoulder. Sango manged to get Kagome from under InuYasha's body, but Kagome shoved the exterminator aside and hugged InuYasha's head.
"InuYasha, please wake up." Kagome whispered. She knew he had been severely injured. How in the world did he get to her so fast? She looked at her arrow coming from InuYasha's shoulder and felt her gut hurt. The black aura around it was making her nauseous, and it was making InuYasha's flesh burn.
"Get it out!" Kagome yelled.
"Alright, get back." Miroku ushered Kagome back with his hand. Taking a spell out of his robe, Miroku placed it in his palm and reached for the defiled arrow. "Argh!" Miroku immediately retracted his hand. The demonic aura burned thru the spell and had gotten to his hand before he had even touched the arrow. "This is strong..." Miroku mused.
"What is it doing to him?" Shippo quivered. Kagome couldn't help but look at InuYasha. He was on his stomach, his hair sprawled on his back. Some of his new armor had broken and blood was leaking out of his shoulder. His bangs covered his face and right arm looked broken. What was worse, he didn't appear to be breathing.
"InuYasha...?" Kagome leaned forward. She took his hand with her and rubbed it. She immediately let it go and pulled back, horrified and sick.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked.
"His...hand." Kagome quivered. Miroku came over and pulled up InuYasha's fire rat sleeve, to be met with a gruesome sight. His skin was turning red and bumpy, exposing some of his muscle and a little bone. Miroku immediately recovered his arm before Shippo or Rin could see.
"A grave injury indeed." Everyone looked up at Sesshomaru who was standing not too far away.
"Go away Sesshomaru." Kagome spat. Ignoring InuYasha's arm, Kagome took one of InuYasha's ears and rubbed it. Suddenly his head jerked, and he let out a sickening cough. "InuYasha?" Kagome whispered. He made no verbal answer instead he pulled himself up and crouched on his knees. Kagome still couldn't see his face, but she could see both of hands just fine. They were both that way, his skin was burning off. Kagome had a bad feeling the arrow had done that to him. Scooting over, Kagome reached for the arrow with her hand, when Miroku grabbed her wrist.
"Lady Kagome, the dark demonic aura is too strong." Miroku said.
"I don't care, I want it out of him. It's my arrow!" Kagome hissed, jerking her wrist free from the monk's grip.
"Get...off...of...me!" Miroku was suddenly shoved by InuYasha's red arm. Kagome watched as InuYasha crawled the distance to a tree and took a firm grip on a branch. Kagome didn't know what to do. Her medical supplies had nothing to give him. All she could really do is wrap his arms with bandages to avoid infection, but he was a demon now. Would he be able to heal this injury? Or was it because it was her purification arrow he might not be able too?
Kagome walked back over to InuYasha leaving the others in silence. She took on of the armors spikes and tightened her grip on it. His breathing was really heavy, and she could see the intense pain he was in. Kagome took another look at the arrow, and kicked it. Pain shot up her leg, but Kagome bit her lip and made a strong attempt to ignore it. The long part of the arrow snapped off and fell on the ground. It rested in the shape it was in, then it liquified and turned the grass surrounding it into wilting brown blades. Kagome gulped, now the hard part.
"What the hell is this?" Kagome glanced behind her to see Kouga scratching his head and standing in the area InuYasha had unleashed his claw attack numerous times. The ground was smoking and by the looks of it, it appeared that is was sinking. Ignoring Kouga's remark, Kagome looked back at her duty. She looked in the bloody hole the arrow head now rested in. Taking InuYasha's hand, Kagome trusted his claws would be able to touch it, she pressed lightly on his index finger. The claw attack shot out, slicing the area around her leg a bit. Kagome felt the his blood trail down her arm, but she took the claws and slowly snagged the arrow head out of InuYasha's shoulder and flung it behind her. She was about to yell at Sango to bring the medical supplies over, when InuYasha let out a large groan. Kagome flinched at his verbal display of pain, and he brought his hand up and scratched the bark of the tree.
"InuYasha...?" Kagome whispered, she leaned up to pull a bang away when his face jerked towards her. Kagome froze. Two golden eyes stared at her with heavy red eyelids and his face...his face. Kagome fell backwards, and her whole body started to shake. Her arm, her hand, Kagome felt every sense in her body just shut down. It hadn't been only his arms. His face, his face was starting to have skin. That would mean his whole body...
"Oh my God." Kagome heard Sango gasp.
"Kagome...?" InuYasha looked at her. How sorry she felt for him, it was squeezing her gut just as much as the feeling to vomit. "It...hurts..." and then he slumped over, not moving.
