Disclaimer: I don't Inu Yasha!
A/N: I drew a picture of what I thought Yuki might look like. It's not that good of a picture. but at least you would get the general idea. If anyone's interested just email me and I will send you his picture.
Like-anyother: Hmmm.. How could Yuki go through the well? In the anime/manga it hasn't explained how Inu Yasha is able to cross into Kagome's time. At least I think it doesn't, someone correct me if I'm wrong. So, maybe it has to do with the fact that Inu Yasha's half human/demon. If that's the reason, then Yuki should be able to go through the well too. On the other hand, it could just be that it was convenient for my story.
Whew. long explanation! ON TO THE STORY!!
**********************************************************************
Inu Yasha raced through the woods following Kagome's blood scent. The trail of broken, crushed plants made it obvious that she'd been chased by something quite large. He hoped that he would be able to find her before it caught up to her.
The path that he'd been following suddenly stopped. The smell of her blood lingered in the air, but all other traces of the girl had disappeared. Inu Yasha stopped so that he might pick up on some clue that would lead him to Kagome. His ears registered the sound of distant whispers, almost as if some one were talking. Quickly, Inu Yasha made his way towards the noise.
As he got closer, Inu Yasha thought that he recognized the voice. " It kinda sounds like Kagome. But who would she be talking to?", he wondered. A great rush of relief crashed down upon him, because if she could talk then she was still alive.
The only thing that bothered him was the second voice he heard. It was distinctly male. Growling slightly, the half demon barged his way into a clearing, from which the voices were emanating. The first person he saw was Kagome. Her legs were heavily bandaged, but other than that she seemed to be all right. He was surprised, and not pleasantly either, to find Yuki sitting next to her. It looked as though they were having a normal conversation, at least until he showed up.
Yuki stood slowly and casually said, " Hello. How are you doing this fine evening?" Kagome turned to look at him with shock evident in her eyes. " I..Inu Yasha?", she stuttered.
" What are you doing here?", he asked angrily, not even bothering to answer Yuki's question. " Well, seeing as Kagome has agreed to find the shards for me, I thought it would be nice to help her out. Protect her from other less friendly demons, and the like.", Yuki answered with a smirk on his face.
" I'm gonna wipe that stupid smirk right off his face.", Inu Yasha thought viciously. Then he yelled, " I've had just about enough of you Kobayashi Yuki." He moved his hand the hilt of his sword, showing the other half demon that he wanted to fight.
Of all the things he expected the green haired demon boy to do, laughing wasn't one of them. " I thought it might come down to this. You're in luck, because today I really feel like kicking your ass. ", Yuki said after he finished laughing.
" He doesn't look so tough.", Inu Yasha snorted. This would surely be an easy win. He'd get rid of Yuki, and then he'd have Kagome all to himself. He watched as Yuki vanished into thin air, then reappear seconds later with something in his hands. It was a big, bulky broadsword. " Looks like he can't even hold it level, let alone fight with it. I bet it weighs more than he does."
" I suppose I should carry this thing around with me, it being my very own sword and all. But it usually just gets in my way.", Yuki said softly sounding a bit embarrassed. Inu Yasha drew his Tetsaiga and asked, " You ready?" The green haired half demon advanced and the fight began; though it more closely resembled a bizarre kind of duel.
**********************************************************************
Kagome watched from a spot near the campfire. The two of them were fighting, each angry in their own way. She didn't understand why Inu Yasha was doing this. After all she'd practically betrayed him. She also didn't understand why she was silently praying that the hanyou wouldn't get hurt.
" I don't know him, but I really want him to win this fight.", she thought confusedly. Inu Yasha wasn't loosing, but he wasn't exactly winning either. Neither Yuki nor Inu Yasha seemed to be able to get in a direct hit. Despite his awkward sword, Yuki blocked everything that Inu Yasha dished out.
As she watched, a single memory escaped from the depths of her mind. It suddenly occurred to Kagome, that she'd seen Inu Yasha in a similar predicament somewhere before. Other memories began to break through flooding her mind with thoughts of Inu Yasha.
**********************************************************************
Fighting Yuki was harder than he originally thought, but it still wouldn't be that much of a challenge. One blow with his father's sword would end the whole thing. However, it was proving to be somewhat difficult. " At least he hasn't been able to cut me with that stupid sword of his.", Inu Yasha thought confidently. It was then that the hanyou made his first mistake.
He'd decided to take a quick glance at Kagome. He wasn't quite sure why he'd done such a thing in the middle of a battle. Maybe he'd done it because he wanted to make sure that Kagome was really okay. Perhaps, he had looked her way to see if she worried about him at all. He shouldn't have done it, because his quick glance turned into a stare.
Kagome was sitting on the ground with her hands holding her head as if she was in pain. She had a tortured look on her face, which threw him off guard. Had something happened to her? Inu Yasha was about to yell out her name, but was stopped by the pain of cold steel slicing into his arm.
**********************************************************************
Images of Inu Yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were bombarding her every thought, and it hurt. It was as though she was remembering something that she wasn't supposed to.
In her mind's eye, Kagome saw herself being hugged by Inu Yasha. She remembered the first time the hanyou had ever called her by her name. All of the times, and there were a lot of them, that he'd annoyed her came rushing back. She remembered being frustrated with him, mad at him, and concerned about his well fare. Most importantly, Kagome remembered that she loved him.
She chose that moment to look up, only to see Inu Yasha being stabbed by Yuki. " I've got to help him. I can't sit here anymore.", she said to herself. There had to be something that she could do to make up for abandoning the hanyou.
" If I could just talk to Yuki, maybe I can stop this before Inu Yasha gets injured again.", she thought determinedly. Kagome picked her self up off the ground and ran towards the fighting half demons.
**********************************************************************
Inu Yasha was getting tired and his arm felt incredibly sore. It was still functional, but it was starting to slow him down a little. He was bleeding from at least two other places that Yuki had managed to hit. That didn't bother him, he'd had worse. Yuki was still going down.
That's when he noticed Kagome running towards them. " Idiot! Stay back", he yelled. If she got any closer she might get hurt. The stupid girl kept coming. What did she think she was doing? Moments later, she was almost in the middle of the battle itself, and getting closer. She began to call out Yuki's name.
The distracted half-demon spun around at the sound of his name, bringing his broadsword with him. Inu Yasha watched in horror as the sword struck her. She stumbled back in shock, staring down at the gash in her side.
Her pretty face began to lose some of its coloring, making her look quite pale. " Yuki please stop fighting with Inu Yasha.", she pleaded before falling to the ground. The green haired half demon stared down at his huge sword and whispered, " What have I done?"

Another Author's Note: I know this is a terrible cliffhanger, but don't worry I will have the next chapter out really soon. The story will be over in about two or three chapters, I think. Thanks to anyone who reads and reviews. I love to hear people's comments.
I'm sorry if the fight scenes are not that impressive. However, if I were to try write an actual sword fight all the way through..it wouldn't be pretty. I don't know that much about it.
