AN: Ahhh chapter eight. One more chapter and an epilogue and this story is done. I would love to know how many of you guess what was in the next two chapters. So, please drop me a review and tell me how predictable I am.

DISCLAIMER: If you don't get this after seven chapters I'm sure you're not going to understand now but. I don't own Inuyasha. No suing.

Last Thing I Wanted By Wyltk

When Kagome finally woke up again her whole body ached and she felt colder then she had ever had before. It took a few minutes before she moaned to herself and opened her eyes to stare into Kaede's who was sitting patiently by her side.

"Kagome." she said softly and her brow softened ever so slightly. Kagome opened her mouth to reply but all that escaped her parch lips was a soft groan of pain.

"Kagome, thou must fight against this child. We all miss ye terribly. Shippo is becoming sick with worry. And Inuyasha. he hasn't been eating, Kagome. He's stayed by your side for three days and just now has fallen asleep." Kaede pointed to the slumped figure of Inuyasha who was sitting against the wall at the foot of her cot.

"Ye have got to fight this. It isn't natural, Kagome. Listen to me carefully. When you started to feel the blackness come at ye again fight it with all the strength ye have got. Look around and see if ye see anyone. Ye must try."

Kagome tried to nod but already the blackness was creeping over her like a warm and confortable blanket. However, it was easier to fight when she thought about Inuyasha waiting for her. She couldn't let him get sick because of her. She had thought he wouldn't care, that he had Kikyo and he would be happy without her but she was wrong. And now she had to fight for him and Shippo.

Shippo had just walked in with everyone else and had flung himself on her chattering happily. The longer he talked the more her eyes fought to close and slowly the objects around her changed so all she could see were black shapeless things and dark shadows.

She moved her eyes around every object, looking for any shape or color that was different. She saw a flash from the corner of her eye and focused on the person. The fog rolled faster over her mind now trying to cover up the persons' identity but it was too late. Kagome knew. The person in front of her, who was trying to kill her, was.

AN: *snickers evilly* like I was going to tell you! Don't worry Next chapter is slightly longer and you'll probably find it more interesting. Again I urge you all to check out Ms Prongs and write her a note. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

~*~ She had to. She had to tell Kaede something. It was very important. She had to tell Kaede. What did she have to tell Kaede? It was very important that she remember. But what was it she had to remember?

Something stirred and she concentrated on that instead. Whatever it was, it was coming closer. Then she could feel it. Something inside of her spoke up and told her to release the power she had been saving to open her eyes. But she didn't want to yet. She wanted to wait a bit longer. But the feeling became more persistent. The feeling that if she didn't open her eyes now she never would. ~*~

And there is the last and finally preview. The epilogue won't have any, that is, if it's posted up. I haven't decided fully yet. Well next chapter "Too Late".
