He stepped into the cavern well prepared for the battle he knew he would fight. He had been told to protect his master. The one who made him as he was now.

"You're no longer Ashi, the weak human. You're now Aku, a powerful half demon. Not a lowly hanyou either. A half demon that is able to bring down that lowly hanyou, InuYasha. You will fight him and win. I will be waiting for the hanyou, if you lose," Naraku had told him the minute he had woken up.

Now he stood alone waiting for the hanyou that kept Kagome away from his human self. Now he would be able to take Kagome for his forever. And Dev would never again disobey him. Never.

She stepped over the wall of the Bone Eaters Well. She could hear Dev right behind her climbing the vines. She reached her hand down to him and pulled him up. He yawned when he was standing beside her, "Mom I'm tired. Why did we have to leave now?"

"Because we have to catch up with him. He's not..." she looked down at her son. He didn't need to know that InuYasha was going to die. "Never mind, c'mon. We have to catch up with them while their camped."

So they started on their journey in the middle of the night. Both of them kept alert and had their bows strung with an arrow all set to shoot at anything. "Wait InuYasha," Kagome breathed as they followed a path with the light of the full moon. She was well prepared for the fight with him. She was going to stop what ever stupid plan he had.

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

InuYasha lay awake in the tree above the others. They slept peacefully, but still alert. Anything could happen in the fuedal times during the night, and often did. He breathed in a sigh as he remembered not telling Kagome to her face about Ashi. He had to write it in a letter. A coward way out of battling with her to stay. Again he sighed. This time though when he breathed in he thought he smelt something familiar. 'But it couldn't be. I told her to stay home.' He sat up and sniffed again. There was no doubting his nose. Kagome had come to the fuedal time. He growled and jumped into another tree on his way to stop Kagome from what ever stupid plan she had.

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

They met on the path. InuYasha lept down and Kagome almost shot him with her arrow. Luckily he dodge it. "Don't kill me!"

"Well, you're the one who scared me!" Kagome countered.

"What are you doing here?" InuYasha yelled at her.

"I'm stopping you!" Kagome yelled back.

Dev grumbled and sat down on the path. He was tired and knew his mom and InuYasha could fight for a really long time. That was until his mom decided to...

"InuYasha I hate to do this but, SIT!" and down he went, head first into the ground.

He almost cussed, but he knew that Dev was there too and he would get 'sit' again if he did. He breathed in his anger and then started to get up from the curse. He didn't say anything as he waited to hear her out.

She breathed in, calming herself too, "InuYasha, why didn't you tell me? I...I saw something. I passed out and I saw my dad. He told me that you're...you're going to die if I don't come with you."

He stood their in shock. The light from the moon didn't show his face to her, but he couldn't believe what she had said. "Kagome, you shouldn't have come here. I'm not going to die. Please, go back."

"I won't," she told him. Tears started to fall down her face. "Do you want to never see me again?"

"That's not it. Please, just trust me," he stepped forward and hugged her.

"I trust you with my life," she cried out. "But please, let me stay with you."

"Fine, but when it's time for the battle. You and Dev have to stay away," he let her go and looked at the boy sleeping on the ground. He smiled. "Did you wake him up just to find me?"

Kagome blushed and looked at the ground, "Kind of."

InuYasha chuckled. He bent down and picked up the sleeping boy. "C'mon let's get some sleep too."

She nodded and followed him to their camp site.

///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///

They all treked through the forest following InuYasha's nose and Kagome's sense. That morning she said that she felt a bunch of jewel shards in one place, meaning Naraku was near by. Dev walked half asleep. "Mom, I'm still tired," he complained. Kagome looked at her son, then at InuYasha. She didn't know what to do this time.

"Come here," InuYasha said to the boy.

He walked faster to catch up to the hanyou. InuYasha picked him up and said, "Now, just sleep. We'll wake you when we get to where we're headed."

Dev said, "Thanks," and laid down against the strong shoulder and fell into dream almost immediatly.

They walked for hours till they reached a cave and stopped. "The shards are in there," Kagome said.

"I smell something. Someone's in there. A demon I think," InuYasha said. He shifted the boy in his arms slightly. "Dev, time to wake up."

The boy opened his eyes slowly and grumbled something that they didn't understand. Then he opened his eyes fully and looked around. "We're here?"

They all nodded. Kagome went over to them, "C'mon Dev. We have to go some place else while they fight."

"But mom! I want to fight too!" Dev whinned as InuYasha set him down. InuYasha smirked at him and shook his head. "Ah, that's not fair."

Kagome sighed. "C'mon Dev." She held her hand out, he took ahold of it, and they started on their way to a hiding place far from the fighting. Before they could get to far Kagome turned around, "You have to live you guys. Don't die yet, k?"

They all nodded. "We'll live Kagome!" InuYasha yelled out. Then he looked at Shippo. "Shippo, go with them."

The kistune nodded and ran after the two humans. After they were far away from the cave InuYasha led the group into the darkness.

They stopped when they saw a figure standing not far from the entrance. "Hello, InuYasha. Come to play?" the figure stepped into the light that still shinned in from the entrance.

"Ashi," InuYasha growled out.

A/N: The fight with Naraku will not be writen. I think I'll leave that for the original writer of InuYasha. I have no right to even assume how that is to take place.

The next chapter is the cut version of the original. Things will be mostly assumed then actually writen. When I bring up the next chapter, the un-cut version will be placed on my site. Chapter's total for the story will equal 30. And a thank you chapter too, which will be credits and a song that I thought would be a cool theme song. ^_^

About my hearing, my left ear is still dead, but I have my right (Doctor helped me). I have lost it because they filled with liquid. I'm allergic to a lot of things and this happens a lot. It's a side effect of the medicine for my allergies. I'm switching the medicine soon though because I need my hearing for school.

Sequel will be out soon. I hope everyone enjoys it.
