Ch 25; Out the Gates of Hell

Kagome screamed in unbearable agony, eyes clouded over with tears. She put her arms around Inuyasha's limp body and sobbed into his blood stained haiori, her heart tearing into pieces inside her chest. "Inuyasha…Inu…yasha…" she whispered in between her choked sobbing.

Miroku and Sango raced out of the bushes, freezing as they saw Kagome and Inuyasha on the ground. "No…" they whispered in unison.

Miroku's legs suddenly felt shaky and weak, causing him to fall to his knees in anguish. At his side, his fists were clenched into a ball so tight that his nails were turning his palms raw. It hurt, but he felt no pain. He banged both of his fists onto the ground, as he roared in agony at the loss of his best friend and leader.

Shippo stared at Inuyasha and Kagome, his eyes wide with tears at Inuyasha's body. It had happened. All over again. He had lost another father. Crying now, he ran over to Inuyasha's body and started hugging him tightly "Inuyasha! Daddy! Oh daddy!" he sobbed wretchedly.

Sango on the other hand walked slowly and hesitantly over to Inuyasha's body and the two weeping people. Tears in her eyes she put her hand on Kagome's shoulder and pulled her into a hug. But Kagome was stubbornly gripping on the dead Hanyou's body, not willing to let go even for Sango. "Kagome…you have to let go." Sango whispered to her, holding back tears of her own. "He's gone."

Naraku was watching there antics with undeniable pleasure. "Ah, how I have waited for this moment. Inuyasha is dead, and there is utter torment in each of you hearts now that he is gone. How delicious." He purred maliciously, licking the blood off his fingers with a twisted smile on his face. "The despair is the best part…for now you all are broken from the loss of your precious comrade. I must say, it was indeed pleasurable to see the look on his face as the light left his eyes…"

Miroku stood up instantly, fire in his eyes as Naraku's words burned in his soul and echoing in his head. "AGRH YOU BASTARD!" he roared furiously, ripping the beads off of his hand "WIND TUNNEL!" The hole in his hand began to suck in the air and trees and slowly drag Naraku towards it… but soon the Samyousho (sp?) flew out from the trees and into the wind tunnel. Miroku winced as they flew in, their venom spreading through his body, but still he did not stop.

"Miroku! Stop! You'll die!" Sango screamed at him.

"I can't stop Sango!" Miroku yelled back, quivering slightly, "I WILL get revenge! For Inuyasha! For all of us!" he groaned, falling to his knees while still struggling to keep his hand in the air.

"NO MIROKU! NOT LIKE THIS!" Sango cried, leaping up and running towards him. She grabbed his fallen beads and leapt towards him, sealing up his hand as he fell over, panting. He looked up at her with sadness in his eyes.

"Sango…why did you do that? You shouldn't have stopped me." He told her, clasping his now purple hand.

She looked down at him teary-eyed. "I'm sorry. I couldn't let you. I just couldn't."

Naraku watched them with amusement, laughing maliciously. "Don't you get it yet? You can never defeat me. And soon you will all die a most painful death, and I will be able to watch the whole thing!" he smirked towards the still weeping Kagome. "Don't you worry. You'll see him again sooner than you think."

Kagome glared at him fiercely, arms still rapped around Inuyasha, but she did not cry. No, now her eyes were glazed over with hate and anger. If you looked closely, you could see them glowing, much the same as when she had fought off Sesshomaru. "Naraku." She growled fiercely, standing up with her fists clenched into a tight ball. "You will pay for what you did to my Inuyasha." Now her eyes had turned completely white, and you could feel her priestess aura growing stronger and stronger with rage. She slowly raised a hand towards Naraku…

BBOOOOOOOOMMMM!

At the sudden noise, Kagome's eyes returned to their original brown again, and she looked around her curiously, trying to find out what it was. It had sounded like an enormous clap of thunder, though there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"Was that thunder?" Shippo asked nervously.

"I don't think so." Kagome replied, looking around her anxiously.

"Then what could it have been?" pondered Miroku.

"It has begun." Naraku laughed loudly. "The end is near. Soon, you will all die." His grin widened. "Behold!" he boomed, pointing at Kagome.

What does he want with me? Kagome wondered, looking at Sango and Miroku. But they weren't looking at her…they were looking behind her with wide eyes. Kagome choked back a sob and turned around. With wide eyes her world froze.

"Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha's body was enveloped in light…blood red light that was thick and murky looking. As it spread over his body, his gaping wounds healed, looking like they had never been there at all. Soon, there was no way to tell that the young Hanyou was ever hurt at all. With a sudden flash of bright red lightning that flew down towards his body, the now healed Inuyasha lay face down on the ground.

"Inuyasha!" cried out Kagome, taking a nervous step forward.

"He' s healed…" Sango said in wonder.

"But how…" Miroku's words were cut of when the unthinkable happened.

Inuyasha's clawed fingers twitched.

His put his hands on the ground so that he could push himself up. With a small grunting noise, he slowly pushed himself into a crouch/standing position. Then he straightened up so that he was now standing, bangs covering his eyes.

Kagome's eyes were huge with shock, seeing her beloved standing there right before her eyes. she took a small, hesitant step forwards, then another, and soon she was running towards him. "INUYASHA!" she cried, tears running down her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. She was surprised to hear a low growling coming from his throat.

So she was even more surprised when she felt his claws slash at her belly, knocking her to the ground at his feet.

As Kagome fell, her mind was in total shock. Why would he do this? Why? She landed on the ground hard, which only cause the slash marks on her stomach to bleed harder. Kagome looked up at her Inuyasha with tears in her eyes, only to be met with cold, blood red eyes with green pupils.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered, shocked "What's happened to you?"

Demon Inuyasha merely picked her up by her hair and threw her away from him, where she hit a tree and fell to the ground, whimpering.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing?" Miroku yelled at him.

Inuyasha's blood red eyes glared at him, a low growl in his throat. Long claws outstretched, Inuyasha raced towards Miroku, who put his staff out in front of him in defence. Miroku managed to block the first strike, but Inuyasha faked him out and took a slash at his ankles. Miroku jumped up to dodge it, but was knocked to the ground with a loud grunt. Inuyasha was standing overtop of him, and threw Miroku's staff aside.

Just when Inuyasha was about to deliver the final blow, Sango yelled, "Miroku, stay low!" and threw her Hirakotsu at Inuyasha, who leapt out of the way, landing a few feet away.

Inuyasha charged towards her to attack, but froze when he heard Naraku's booming voice. "INUYASHA! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! THE MASTER IS GETTING IMPATIENT!"

To everyone's utter shock, Inuyasha straightened up and walked slowly towards Naraku. When he was a few feet away he stopped, putting two fingers pointed towards his right eye (grrr this is annoying. It is the right eye that the pearl is in, isn't it? ARG I cant remember! Whatever now it's in the right one). Just the way his brother had done it almost two years ago, small bolts of lightning erupted from his clawed fingertips and into his eye. Within moments, he had drawn out the black pearl only, this time, there was a mist black aura around it. Inuyasha held it between his two fingers, grinning.

"Is that the pearl that leads to his father's grave?" Sango asked, running over to where Kagome was struggling to get up.

"It must be." Miroku answered.

"It is." Kagome told them weakly. "That's the pearl we used to enter his father's tomb." She watched Inuyasha with large tears in her eyes. "Oh, Inuyasha!"

"Then how can they use it to free Suratiku?"

Miroku thought for a minute. "I'm not sure…"

Kagome looked away from Inuyasha and at Miroku. "Miroku…is it possible that we missed something in the prophecy?"

"No. I'm sure I read it all. There was nothing else."

"Then maybe we misread something." Sango said gravely. "Because right now I understand what is supposed to happen, but not why…or how for that matter!"

Miroku thought again, and then his eyes went wide with a sudden realization. He looked towards Inuyasha, who was beginning to lift the pearl in the air. "Inuyasha! Stop! Return to your senses!" Miroku yelled as loud as he could, causing Inuyasha to freeze momentarily, glancing backwards at him through the corner of one of his eyes. "You mustn't give him the pearl! You have to fight him, not help him! You can't free him!"

Inuyasha merely growled and looked back at the pearl, which he was now lifting above his head, face unreadable. Soon the black pearl was rising to the clouds of its own accord. Soon, the clear sky became clouded over in darkness, funnel clouds forming around the sky above the pearl. The odd thing about these clouds was that they were different shades of red and black, having an evil look to them.

"NO!"

Then everything froze. The twisting clouds lay unmoving; human and demon alike were motionless, and even the woodland animals were too afraid to make a sound. And then, with a bright flash of blinding light, the pearl exploded. When the light dimmed enough for them to see again, there was a gigantic black hole in the sky where the pearl had been seconds before. The clouds were slowly swirling around the sinister hole, the colour of them a dangerous purple.

From within the black hole, there came a laugh that was as loud as thunder itself. A cruel, yet satisfied laugh that sent shivers down the human's spines. "At last." The voice boomed "I am free."

"No…" Miroku whispered in defeat.

A black light shone at the edges of the hole, forming a circle around it. The light shot down to earth, forming an enormous black cylinder directly underneath the hole, so dark that they couldn't see through it. Not like they wanted to, for the evil aura it was producing made them all fall to their knees, looking away from it. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had not moved from his standing position, and was still grinning widely at the darkness. Then, as quickly as it had come, the light retreated back into the sky.

In its place was a demon the size of a mountain. His body appeared to be human, but his blood-red skin was a dead giveaway. Looking up into the sky, you could see the two horns that were placed on either side of his head right above his pointed ears. Suratiku had six slanted, glowing red eyes on his face; three on one side, three on the other (u know like a num. 6 dice). Also, he had pitch black claws on his hands, each of them at least three times the size of the average human. But the most intimidating thing about him was still his size.

Suratiku looked down at the tiny humans on the ground around him, grinning maliciously. Then all six of his eyes focused on Inuyasha. But Inuyasha's gaze did not once meet his. To the utter shock and dismay of the others, Inuyasha was now kneeling on the ground at Suratiku's feet, one arm resting on his knee, and his head bowed submissively. Suratiku smirked. "Ah, Inuyasha. You have done well." He spoke, though it still boomed and echoed through the valley.

"Thank you, my lord." Was Inuyasha's calm response.

"Rise."

Kagome's eyes were huge and tear-filled. "Inuyasha… you can't possibly be taking ORDERS from him!" she cried out to him, trying to get the old Inuyasha back. "Inuyasha, he is evil! You can't help him! You are not evil, you are a good person! Please listen to me, Inuyasha!" she pleaded, but Inuyasha showed no sigh that he had even heard her, remaining perfectly still as he stood by Suratiku's toe.

Naraku glared at her. "You are wasting your time, wench! He is a servant of the great demon lord Suratiku. He shall never be the same as the pathetic Hanyou he once was; he is a full demon now, existing only to serve our great master." He grinned. "Now, how do you feel. Your precious Inuyasha will never be the same again…he is lost to you. Dose that not fill your heart with suffering and misery? Please scream, please do. Let it all out, for I do so enjoy to hearing screams of ultimate suffering."

Suratiku's gaze turned to Naraku. "Ah, yes. I had nearly forgotten you." Suratiku snapped his enormous fingers, a sound that cut through the air like a knife. Within seconds, a huge swarm of Samyousho flew out of the hole in the sky towards Naraku. And it didn't look like he had been expecting it at all.

Naraku screamed in terror when the deadly insects began to swarm around him, eating away at his gruesome flesh. There were now giant holes of flesh missing in various places around Naraku's body. ""But…Masster! Why?"

Suratiku Regarded him coolly. "You spent too long on a simple task, you worthless being. Besides, you have served your purpose. Now, you shall leave this world. I have no more need of your existence."

With wide eyes, everyone watched their mortal enemy, whom they had been hunting down for years, being eaten alive before there very eyes. "I don't believe this!" Miroku gasped. "his own insects…are eating him! And…its not growing back! He's really dieing!"

BOOM, BOOM. "You are wrong, mortal!" the giant demon roared. "they are not HIS insects, they are my servants. The Samyousho are insects from hell, where I rule. They, like him, obey my command, and ONLY my command."

Looking back at Naraku, the only thing they saw was a small pile of dust where he had once been…along with the better part of the sacred jewel. They were about to run for it, when all of a sudden…

"AAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Sango, Kagome and Shippo looked over worriedly to Miroku, who was holding out his right hand, screaming in pain. "MIROKU!"

Sango ripped off the beads that were containing his wind tunnel, and Miroku's screaming ceased. Looking down at his wind tunnel, they watched in awe as it slowly shrank until it was completely gone. Miroku stared down at his hand in disbelief, touching the skin to see if it was real. When his fingers touched the skin, he felt a small tear forming in his eye. It was finished. The one who was responsible for his father's death, and his forefather's death, was now dead. His father's soul was at peace at last.

"Miroku…" Sango whispered gently. "Are you alright?"

He looked up at her. "I'm fine. Venom seems to have left my body along with the wind tunnel." He flashed her a warm smile. "It is done. Naraku is finally dead." Sango felt a tear fall down her cheek as she pushed herself into Miroku's arms, hugging him tightly. He hugged her back, happiness flooding through him.

"His wind tunnels gone!" Shippo piped up from behind Kagome, gazing down at Miroku's hand. "And he's not groping her! Maybe the hand actually was cursed after all!" He looked up. "AH!" he screamed, hiding behind Kagome once more.

Everyone looked towards Suratiku, who had momentarily been forgotten. "Oh, no, this simply won't do. Did I just make you happy, young monk? I'm terribly sorry." he said mockingly. "Don't worry, I promise I'll make it up to you." He turned the gaze of his six eyes towards the man standing looked down at his feet. "Inuyasha, would you please help me make it up to him?"

Inuyasha nodded and grinned, flexing his claws eagerly. Eyes wide with a sickening excitement, he began to slowly walk forwards towards the hugging Miroku and Sango. They eyed him in worry and disbelief, regrettably breaking their hug and getting into defensive positions. Kagome, on the other hand, managed to stand up, even with the three gashes in her side. Grunting and sweating in pain, she took a step forward…then another…and another towards the approaching Inuyasha. Inuyasha didn't notice her; he had eyes only for Miroku and Sango, and those eyes were willed with hate and bloodlust.

"Kagome don't!" Sango cried out.

"Please, Kagome, you're too weak! You'll be killed!" Shippo squeaked, trying to hold her down by clinging to her ankles.

"Let go of me, Shippo!" she barked harshly, and poor Shippo let go instantly; she had NEVER used that tone of voice on him. He looked up at her with hurt in his eyes, but she wasn't looking at him. Kagome was shaking from the pain, and her face was squinted in effort from standing, but she was looking only at Inuyasha. She had a very odd look on here face. It was like a million emotions were there at one time, all of em flowing out of her face and directly at Inuyasha. Pain, hurt, shock, sadness, disbelief, happiness, disappointment, and most of all love. Love was written on her face plain as day as she watched Inuyasha coming closer, and she continued to take small, hesitant steps toward him.

"Inuyasha…" she murmured painfully, taking another step towards him. When she said his name, Inuyasha stopped in his tracks, red eyes now focused on Kagome. "What's happened to you…"

"You are wasting your time." Suratiku grinned, "He belongs to me now. You can't get through to him."

Kagome glared up at him. "NO HE DOESN'T!" she screamed angrily. "INUYASHA IS A GOOD, KIND PERSON! HE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONES SEVRANT, AND HE IS NOT THE KIND OF GUY TO TAKE ORDERS FROM SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY NOT YOU! HE IS…"

"SILENCE!" Suratiku roared, shaking the earth with his angry cry. He glared down at her cruelly, but then it became sickeningly joyful as he turned his gaze to Inuyasha. "I have changed my mind, Inuyasha." He pointed a huge finger menacinly down at Kagome. "Kill her first."

Inuyasha stood there for a moment, looking at Kagome, who was eyeing him anxiously. He stared at her for another minute, and then raised his clawed and blood stained hand so that it was level with his eyes. Smirking, he licked the blood off his claws that had come from Kagome's previous wound, his eyes wide and eager. "With Pleasure."

Kagome only stared at him with wide eyes. Did he really just say that? Tears began to form in her eyes. Is it possible that she had really lost him? "Inuyasha, you can't…what about all we've been through? Doesn't that mean anything to you? What about me, Inuyasha!" she cried at him, tears flowing down her cheeks. "DON'T I MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU! DON'T DO THIS!"

Inuyasha stared at her like she was growing a second head. Who was this girl? Her voice...her tears...they made him hungry, hungry for the hunt. She had the most…annoying voice he had ever heard! He couldn't wait to sink his claws in her body! Kagome began to break into sobs when Inuyasha continued to approach her.

"Inuyasha…w-who did t-this to you?" she sobbed. "How can you just forget everything that happened? Remember me! Remember Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Kaede!" she was getting desperate. ""REMEMBER KIKYO!"

But not even that phased Inuyasha, and he was now only feet away from Kagome. Miroku and Sango ran over to her, putting themselves between her and Inuyasha. "Kagome, give it up. Its no use." Miroku and Sango got into their fighting stances. "Inuyasha! Don't come any closer! We don't want to fight you!"

Inuyasha eyed them impatiently. What was with these stupid mortals? They couldn't just piss off and let him do his job. But hey, the more the to stand in his way, the more blood to be shed.

"Inuyasha! You have to remember something!" Kagome yelled at him. "What about…Sesshomaru! Kouga! Naraku!" Despite himself, and for reasons Inuyasha couldn't understand, he let out a low growl. Once it was out, his eyes went wide. Did he just do that?

Everyone was staring at him in wonder. "Inuyasha…"

"He reacted…Maybe he's still in there somewhere!"

Kagome let out a small sigh of relief. Here was some hope. "Inuyasha, don't you remember them! Remember Kouga! If you are like this, Kouga might try to take me from you!" Inuyasha was stareing at her, so that's a good sign. "You don't want that, and I sure as hell don't! come back to me, Inuyasha! Please! I love you! Come back to me!"

"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha roared furiously, walking faster towards them. "I don't know who you are…" he slashed Miroku in the chest, "I don't know what you want…" he slashed at Sango, "And I sure as hell don't love you, or ever want to know you, you pathetic Mortal!" he walked leapt forward and grabbed Kagome by the throat, squeezing tightly.

"Kagome…" Miroku and Sango cried, but they were lying on the ground clutching theirs stomachs. The wound was really deep.

Kagome's eyes were wide as Inuyasha was strangling her. Slow to react from the sudden attack, all she could do was try to pry his hands off her aching throat. She looked into his angry red eyes, searching for a sign of the Inuyasha she loved, but only found hatred. "Inu…yasha…sit…"

The beads of subjugation glowed around Inuyasha's neck. He eyed them thinking what the hell? As he went flying down to the ground, letting go of Kagome in the process. Kagome fell to the ground and lay there, gasping for air and clutching her raw neck.

Suratiku, who had made himself a seat on Mount Fuji, stared at them angrily. "What sort of Magic is this, witch!" he roared, standing up from the mountain and walking over to them, leaving gigantic craters in the ground as footsteps.

"HE'S COMEING!" Shippo yelled, running over to his fallen friends. "Come on guys, get up! Please!" but everyone was hurt so badly that they could only lay there. Inuyasha, on the other hand, stood up after a few seconds, arms moving towards Kagome's throat again. "NO INUYASHA! LEAVE KAGOME ALONE!" Inuyasha paused and went to strike Shippo…

"s-sit…" Kagome croaked.

Bam!

"Sit…"

Bam!

"SIT…"

BAM!

Shippo looked first at Inuyasha lying on the ground, to his fallen friends, and then to the giant monster that was almost there! "Kirara! Come here, quick!"

Little Kirara leapt over to Shippo and transformed into her bigger self. She picked the fallen humans up one by one with her teeth. Shippo looked down to where Inuyasha lay face first, tears in his eyes, and hopped on Kirara's back She was about to take off, when something caught Shippo's eye. "WAIT!" he hopped off and ran over to where Hojo lay, "Get him too!"

Kirara had just picked up Hojo when Inuyasha stood up again. And now, he was really, really mad. "Kagome! Say it again!"

"Sit…"

BAM!

Kirara went into the air with the four humans and Shippo on her back, only to come face to face with Suratiku.

Suratiku's eyes went wide with shock and hatred. "You! You were with that woman who sent me to hell!" he raised a hand to grab Kirara, but she flew really fat and dodged it, trying to fly away from him. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" with his raised hand, Suratiku sent a gigantic black energy ball towards Kirara that was at least ten times the size of her.

"Ahhhh!" Shippo screamed in terror, but Kirara managed to dodge that as well. Unfortunately, she's only demon, so Suratiku scared her so much that she flew off blindly away from him. Suratiku shot more energy balls at them, but by some Miracle she managed to dodge them all.

Just when they started feeling like they were safe, another energy ball came at them. Tired from flying and dodging the blasts, Kirara was a little too slow, and the corner of it grazed her side. Kirara screeched in pain, looking at her side. Her entire left side of her body was now raw skin, the hair completely burned off.

"Oh no! Kirara!" Shippo called out in worry, but she managed to keep flying. Soon, mount fugi and Suratiku were out of sight. "Kagome! Wake up!" but Kagome couldn't hear him, in fact she was trying to cling on to consciousness. The only thing that proved she was awake was her wide eyes, and her repetitive mutterings of the word 'sit'.

...back with the bad guys...

"NO!" Suratiku roared, shaking the earth once more with his ferocious voice. In his anger, he raised his fist and slammed it into the ground, causing the earth to crack and shake for miles around him. But, after he punched the ground, he was able to calm down. Panting, he stood up tall and straight, thinking. They will be back. I'm sure of it. They will want to rescue their precious friend. But their attempts are futile. He is mine now, and no one can ever break my control over him. He looked down at his servant, only to become curious.

Inuyasha was being repetitively thrust into the earth, and there was now a 5 meter hole in the shape of his body. Suratiku looked at him closely, and saw that there was a bright glow every time he was pushed down further. Lifting up his hair with a piece of his nail, he saw that the glow was coming from a necklace around his neck.

Grunting, Suratiku picked Inuyasha up and into the palm of his hand. Inuyasha was now going headfirst into Suratiku's hand, instead of the ground. "GRRR!" Inuyasha growled. "what the hell is this thing!"

"It doesn't matter, Inuyasha." Suratiku said calmly. He raised one finger and pointed the nail at Inuyasha's throat. Using the nail, he sliced the string holding the beads together. One by one, the beads fell off and into Suratiku's hand. Putting Inuyasha down on the ground, who was now able to stand again because the beads were gone, Suratiku closed his fist, turning the beads into dust. "They won't bother you anymore."

...back with the good guys...

Shippo looked around at the forest below him anxiously, looking for anything that was familiar. But all he could see was an endless amount of trees, with a few rivers and paths once and a while. Kirara's sore in her side was aching, though she tried to hide it, and Shippo could tell. They had to stop, and soon. They needed help. He had no healing experience! And he didn't know what to do. But he did know that they had to find a village or…or something!

That was when Shippo noticed something. There was a huge cloud of dust moving along one of the paths below them. Moving very fast. Kouga!

"Kouga!" Shippo yelled down, hoping that he would hear his small voice. He was in luck. After yelling a few times, he saw the dust cloud stop, revealing Kouga standing there looking around for whoever called his name. "Kouga, up here!"

Kouga looked into the air and saw Kirara. That's the demon Kagome rides on. He squinted his eyes to look as he saw the demon cat come closer. His eyes got wide and angry. "I smell blood!"

Shippo landed next to Kouga, and he ran over and put his arms around Kagome's unconscious form, picking her up and hugging her tightly. He glared at Shippo. "What happened!" he demanded.

Shippo burst into tears, and, surprisingly, jumped off Kirara and started hugging Kouga desperately. "Inu-inuyasha…" he sobbed. "Daddy…Inuyasha…" behind him, Kirara collapsed from exhaustion and became the cute Kirara, the others fell to the ground next to her.

Not sure of what to do, Kouga looked around at the others. They were all injured, and…Kouga sniffed the air and became furious… smelled like they were all hurt by Inuyasha! Growling, Kouga looked down at Shippo. "Did dog-turd do this?" Shippo nodded miserably. Kouga growled fiercely. "I'm gonna kill him!" Only this time, he sounded like he truly meant it.

Shippo's eyes went wide with tears flowing freely. "NO! YOU CAN'T! YOU CANT HURT HIM! You…you have to help Kagome and the others! They need help, fast!" he cried desperatly, trying to distract him from thoughts of killing Inuyasha, his daddy. Oh, daddy. He sniffled again.

Kouga growled again, furious at Inuyasha, but nodded nonetheless. Groaning, he piled all of the other humans onto his back, Kagome held protectively in his arms and ran as fast as he could towards the nearest cave. He looked down at her unconcious and bleeding form. The mutt would die for doing this. Of that he would make sure.
