People!!!!! Victoria is back, I told people this would be up on Wed., but I'm nocturnal, so Thurs. At 4am is still kinda Wed in my mind, sorry for the mix up, I'll be more specific next time.
"We, need to get to Keada's right away!" Inuyasha said to the horrified Kagome.

"No, no I'll be fine.I can treat this" she said trying more than anything to believe herself

"Are you sure? It looks bad, your claws, they're bleeding." He said grabbing for a hand towel to try and help, somehow. He had no clue what the first step to treating something like this was. His body usually healed something like this quickly, but neither of them were half demons right now so he wanted to help bandage it. Sad thing was, he was usually on the receiving end of any of the medical treatment he had seen and was usually trying to stay alive or get back to battle during those times. He didn't know how to help Kagome, but desperately wanted to, he could see she was in pain.

"Here, turn on the faucet, I don't think I can." Inuyasha did as he was told "Make it warm, not hot, warm." He adjusted it accordingly. "Okay, umm, get the bucket, and fill it, I need to soak my fing- my.claws." She ended a little repulsed by her new appendages.

"What happened to them?" Inuyasha voiced after he had fetched the bucket and filled it with the warm water.

"I.. I don't know." She said. "At least I still have my miko powers, I can use that to help heal my fingers." her eyes widened with her discovery from her own words. "Inuyasha! I know what's happening! It's my miko powers. they're fighting off the demon blood." she said slowly. "O h, this is bad, this is very bad!"

"Why, how is this working?" Inuyasha asked trying to fully understand what was happening. "What's so bad, you can use your miko powers to fight it off can't you?"

"She shook her head, "No Inuyasha, my powers are going to try and destroy any demon blood, and if my blood is turning demon, then. " she paused taking in her deductions as she realized them "I think I'll die."

"WHAT!" But, but.no!" Inuyasha yelled. "Why won't your miko powers stop this?!"

"They are attacking the demon, it will destroy the demon, eventually, but it will harm my body in the process!" she said forcing herself away from hysterics.

"We need to get to Keade's, or a medic in this area at least!" he said.

She was quick to reply, "No we can't go to the hospital, they won't know how to treat this type of thing, they aren't exactly used to demon potions and miko allergies!"

"Well then what do we do?" he said eyeing her worriedly.

"We'll have to wait and see." She simply said.
'Pandesia will love this!' Landel thought as he scurried from the room to report directly to his master.
"She's reacting better than I could ever have hoped for!" Pandesia said more to herself than the wolf demon or his flea companion.

"What shall we do now master?" Armand asked, not wanting to stay to long in the company of his sometime manic master.

"We shall make the Inu an offer." She said with an evil grin, "I do wonder what or who he'll choose."

**********************************************

Okay people I do know it's been a month, I'm sorry. I've had a series of unfortunate events (I love those books!) The long and short of it are mostly auditions for a very important play that I'm proud to say I'm cast in ^_^ and my computer breaking, twice (Grumble, Grumble-_-) Anyway I do think this is the first thing I've ever written that remotely resembled a cliff hanger. I usually don't do this, mostly because I don't know when my lazy ass will write another chapter. But in my screwed up school system we have a four-day weekend and I'll probably have the next chapter up by Mon. or Tues.

I also think I will have shorter chapters, but post them more frequently, so I hope you guys like that, if not than tell me. PLEASE criticize me, I want to get better at this! The only way that can happen is tough love, constructive criticism, please don't mindlessly flame. If you're going to flame tell me exactly what I did that bugged you so much, or even better, how to change it.

Okay I'm done now, bye bye,

And as always,

More to come.
