AN: This chapter is also confusing! Now enters the full blooded Inuyasha and any questions might be answered (hopefully)
Entering the huge hall, the full-blooded Inuyasha paced up and down, tired from another fruitless search for Kagome. "Why did you leave me Kagome?" he sadly muttered heart broken. One day she had left through the well like always but this time she never returned. With her gone the search for the shards had been going very slow and it had been about a month that she had been gone. He could still here her saying, "All I have to do is take a test," she had shouted at him. "Feh. A test! Yeah right" he had yelled back. His heart still hurt from not telling her that he loved her. Now he never would. "It's no use. I have Kikyo! She gave me the spell to be a demon and helped me finish the shard and kill Naraku! I should love her… but I don't" he finished softly, fingering the now complete jewel that hung from his neck. It made him feel closer to Kagome.
Sighing in defeat, he hung his head and walked toward his room, filled with thoughts and memories of Kagome. Suddenly his head snapped up as his nose was filled with the sweat smell of Kagome. He started running in a blur of speed toward the source of the smell that he hadn't smelled in what seemed like an eternity. Stopping in front of his bedroom door, he knocked over the servant that barred his way to his only love. "Milord!" the demon squeaked in fear as he ran away to report the following developments to Kikyo. He stood in front of the door, resting against it and letting the smell fill his body and lift his soul. Reaching for the door, he started when a warm body jumped out and crashed into him, taking them both to the floor.
Walking through the kitchen, the half-demon Inuyasha stopped as he caught a faint whiff of Kagome's scent. "So you're this way, are you?" Inuyasha followed the smell as it got stronger and he noticed that it lead toward a dark little hallway off to the side of the kitchen. Following it, he could tell it was used at least daily from the footprints that layed in the gathering dust on the floor, though Kagome's scent was old, as if it hasn't been through there in years. The hallway ended abruptly and a steep set of stairs finished the way down to another damp and dark hallway. Now Kagomes scent was really strong but something about it was amiss. Dismissing the nagging sensation, Inuyasha continued carefully down the core door.
Kagome pushed herself off a hard, warm chest, still amazed that ramming the door down worked. Still straddling the body, she looked up into the confused, hurt, and angry golden eyes of Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! Come on, we got to get out of here! This is some kind of weird dimension. Hey, whats wrong?" Staring at him, she paused in the middle of standing up when, suddenly, she was swept off of her feet and slammed against the wall. "What is your…" she trailed off as she noticed the two stripes on his cheeks. Fearing the worst she looked down to where his clawed hands encircled his arms, her eyes catching the now complete shikon jewel hanging from his neck. "You're not my Inuyasha are you?" she asked, filled with fear. Instead of answering her question, he tightened his grip on her arm. "Why did you leave me Kagome?" he asked with hurt lacing his voice.
The pain in his eyes was reflected in his voice and it made Kagome's chest tighten in pain. Even though he wasn't her Inuyasha, she hated to see him hurting and in pain, especially if it was caused by her. Then what he said finally hit her. "Huh? Wait, I'm not your Kagome!"
"The smell. Getting stronger. Kagome! Where are you? Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed. "Inuyasha?" a small voice floated from the darkness asked. Seeing a pale arm sticking out from the bars of a cell, Inuyasha ran towards it, relief flooding through his body as he finally found Kagome. "What did you get yourself into now wench?" he asked roughly to hide his relief. "Get me out of here! Hurry! Before it's to late!" she whispered urgently. "Yeah yeah" Inuyasha mumbled as he bent the bars of her cell, noticing the change of her smell. "Thank you!" she cried joyfully as she threw her arms around his neck, enveloping him in a hug. Startled, Inuyasha hugged her back as a small smile tugged at his lips. Pushing away, she immediately turned away hurrying down the core door saying, "Come! We must hurry and we have to help them!". Pausing in her flight, she bent down to pick up a bow and some arrows that lay at the opening of the hallway. Catching up to her easily he asked, "Help who?!". "I'll explain on the way come on!" With the last parting shot, she ran out of the hallway and headed towards the kitchen. "Stupid wench!" Inuyasha muttered but he dutifully followed, not knowing what else to do.
