Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha!

"You aren't getting anywhere near her you bastard," Inuyasha growled at Naraku as he walked closer to the two.

Kagome was standing behind him, but she knew that they were in deep trouble, What does this guy want with me? I didn't do anything?!

"Hiraikotsu!" a battle cry rang out in the park, a familiar one. One that made Inuyasha wrap his arm Kagome's waist and bring her forcefully to the ground. With his other free arm, he placed it over her head to protect her. They heard the sounds of flesh cutting and ripping apart. There was also the whoosh of a gigantic boomerang that passed over their heads by centimeters.

"Kagome! Inuyasha!" they heard Miroku's voice, they both looked up and saw the monk running to them with Sango as she swiftly caught hiraikotsu with one arm.

"Are you two alright? You aren't hurt are you?" Sango asked, a little worried about what happened.

"What. The. Hell. Was. THAT!" Inuyasha shouted.

"I assume that it was one of Naraku's puppets, he does that all the time, but I didn't think he'd attack soon," Miroku stated.

"Not that," Inuyasha said, he looked at Sango,"Watch where the hell you swing that damn thing. If I was alive, it would chop my head off with one swing!"

Sango restlessly laughed and rubbed her neck,"Sorry about that. If I didn't kill the stupid puppet, Kagome would probably be dead or worse."

"What could be worse that chopping someone's head off with your enormous boomerang?" Inuyasha asked the demon slayer.

"Uh, guys. I am one to usually freak out here, but, what just happened. Who's Naraku?" Kagome said, blanched at what just happened moments ago.

"Naraku is the bad guy, who wants to get rid of you and take a jewel," Inuyasha answered.

"The bad guy...jewel? All of this, wanting my head on a platter, is for some stupid jewel!" Kagome shouted incredulously. She pulled her hair to make her point.

Inuyasha backed away from her outrage and his ears drooped at her shouts.

"And what about this puppet? Is he, some kind of puppet master or something?" Kagome began with her barrage of questions that were soon to be answered.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha,"How do you know about Naraku?" he arched a brow as he asked the ghost half demon.

Inuyasha waved him off,"Nows not the time. First, let's get out of this damn park, it's giving me the fucking willies."

Sango and Miroku exchanged looks, wondering who in the world would say that. Kagome bit the bottom of her lip to prevent herself from letting out a laugh after what Inuyasha said.

The gang left the park and walked back to Kagome's home.

"So, I heard from Sango that you told Kagome that you loved her," Miroku said as he was walking behind Kagome and Sango, they were both speaking of what happened after she left. Kagome didn't tell her the part of her and Inuyasha confessing their love to one another, being that the said half demon was walking behind them along with a perverted monk.

Inuyasha growled at him and glared daggers at Sango's back,"Yes and that's all I'm going to tell you lech."

"My good friend, it was about time," Miroku said with a grin.

"Shut up."

"That I won't do. It's too fun to see you all pissed off and-" that earned Miroku and hard hit upside his head. "I'll shut up now," Miroku said.

"Keh."

After their walk to Kagome's home in silence, they finally arrived at her home. As soon as Kagome opened the door she was having the life squeezed out of her by her mother. Mrs. Higurashi was drying her tears, but they kept rolling down her cheeks as she had her hands on the sides of her daughter's face.

"My baby you are alright. When the someone called and said that you were in the school when it exploded, I didn't know what to do," her mother cried and Kagome rubbed her back, saying that she was okay.

"But mom, you fainted as soon as you heard the news, " Souta said to his mother.

"I know that dear," Mrs. Higurashi said, switching her gaze to her son, then back at Kagome. "After I woke up, your friends told me that you were okay and that you left to the park. I don't understand why though. Kagome is there something you want to say to me? You can tell me anything sweetheart."

Kagome opened her mouth to speak, but then the door bell rang and she went to get it.

She opened the door and there stood a woman with long black hair and kind brown eyes.

"Hi," she said with a warm smile. Inuyasha looked over to where Kagome went and his gaze went to the woman at the door.

"Mother..."

Alright, so here's the news, I'll only get to update once a month for this story. Why? It's because I won't be using my computer until the end of the week, so I'm lucky I got to use it today for school. I'll only get to use my precious computer on Saturdays for now on because of school. *cries* You can throw all the bricks you'd like to throw at me, but that's the reason. So on my profile it will tell you when I update. For this story, it will be updated the last week of the month. Please forgive me! I may as well post another chapter today, but I can't promise anything.

Yours Truly,

Fallen :)
