"Kikyo's sealing arrow. In five minutes, I'll be dead and my soul trapped in my dead body. I'm impressed Kikyo, but, I'm taking you to hell with me!" (I know that it sounds stupid but I had to have someone say it or else things would be confusing). Kikyo' turned upon hearing him and aimed an arrow at Miroku. As he said this, as he held his sword up. It transformed then he flung it at 'Kikyo'. She shrieked as the sword pierced clear through her. She was so distracted for joy of killing Inuyasha that she never blocked it. "Your feelings cloud your senses Kikyo, go to hell where there are other hot-headed people like yourself. I would be joining you but you sealed my soul inside my body. Enjoy!" and with that the sword, lying on the ground, transformed back into its old form. Inuyasha hung completely limp hanging from the arrow. Gasped once and didn't breathe again. I heard a gasp from the door and saw the principle. She had a look on her face of terror, no terror was an understatement. "Students, you are dismissed for the day. We've got some major thinking to do." the principle said somberly. I was stunned, there were two dead people in the room. A murdered Inuyasha and this Kikyo girl. Kikyo's body wasn't bleeding at all. This was shocking for someone who'd been pierced by a huge sword. Then her body turned to dust while Inuyasha's stayed behind. Surprisingly, Inuyasha wasn't bleeding much either. He was bleeding a little through the arrow hole. His body was bloody and beaten. His shirt was shredded completely. One of his legs was twisted at an odd angle, obviously broken. Some girls were crying, Sango especially. After all, if he hadn't saved her, he'd been able to avoid the arrow. Most of the boys had shocked looks on their faces. As I walked into my house after leaving the school, my mom noticed the shocked look on my face and asked me what was happening. I told her everything that had happened including the fight. That night, I pretty much felt so bad that my stomach. I just laid in my bed staring at the ceiling. I looked beside me and saw Inuyasha just standing there. "Darn-it I thought you were dead." I said as I hugged him. Then I realized what I was doing and quickly backed away pulling the covers up, realizing that I was only in my panties and a T-shirt. "Stay still- okay. I want to try something new." He said as he put his hands on both sides of my head. Suddenly, his eyes glowed gold then he disappeared. *Hey Kagome* I heard in my thoughts. 'That you Inuyasha?' I thought. *Yeah, now do as I say, let your body go completely limp and lay on your bed.* 'Kay' she thought as she fell on her bed. Suddenly, her body lifted up and started walking as if she meant to, but wasn't. 'Did you do that, that's amazing!' I thought to Inuyasha. In another flash of light, Inuyasha was in front of me again. "Wow, how'd you survive! That arrow went through your heart?" "Uh, I didn't" he told me, "Kikyo used a special sealing arrow. Its purpose is that within five minutes of the collision with the target, the target will die and the soul will be trapped within the body." "That's terrible, you can't go anywhere then.......THEN HOW IS YOUR SOUL HERE?" I gasped. "I managed to repel enough of the spell to save some of my energy. I can appear to some people. I will also visit Sango, Miroku, Ami, and Hojo. I just thought it best if I came to you in person. After all, I did hide the Jewel of Four Souls inside of you. Don't try to remove it." "Why not, why inside of me, what is this jewel. Is it valuable, did you steal it?" I asked him. "Whoa, ghostie says one question at a time!!! Now question one. It's inside of you because you're one of the few that I can trust with such a treasure. Question two, this jewel is a crystal that can give the possessor anything the person wants. Question three, is it valuable. It grants wishes, self-explanatory. Did I steal it? ...........Yes,.....I stole it from Kikyo....... She planned to use it for giving herself amazing powers. She can copy herself, you saw a copy today, and she can teleport anywhere in any time. That lightning was also a power. I've been trying to get the jewel from her for a while now...............I was too late, she got her powers that she wanted. That's all of your questions. I've run out of time here for now, see ya" he said before disappearing. "Bye" I said rather sad. Sorry diary, I've gotta go now, time to hit the sack. Kagome.

"It's been one year since the incident. I should go and get the sword, it will be a good memory of him. It's Saturday tomorrow so I should be able to go to the school." The wing where it all happened is no longer in use. The problem is getting in. The doors, naturally, were locked. Kagome had found a new way in though. The vent system. She hoped that his soul will come to her again. However, once she enters the room, everything is as it was. The sword, now untransformed, lay stabbed into Kikyo's pile of dust. She pulled out the sword and undid it's sheeth from Inuyasha's belt. She glanced at his face, it showed the same shocked expression as the moment he died. However, unlike Kikyo's body, his wasn't dust. She just held the sheethed sword in her mouth as she crawled through the vent system. Once out, she ran home with the sword. When she got home, she set the blade on her desk. Kagome just noticed that her legs simply didn't want to hold her. She just sat there in bed with tears in her eyes. "Why'd you try and save us... It's not fair, why!?" she asked as she sobbed.

One year has now passed since that day. Kagome has given up hope of seeing Inuyasha again. She is now a junior in high school. Everyone but Kagome, Sango, and their friends has forgotten about the incident. However, every boy remembers a huge sword from somewhere... It is known to Kagome that no one has been in that room, excluding her own few visits, since that fateful day. "Ya know, I should honor that guy in some way. The least we can do is act like it's a recent death and give his body a formal burial." Kagome said to Miroku and Sango at recess. " His soul........his soul came to me and explained everything." Kagome said. "Same here, it explained all about Kikyo and the jewel. He said that it was safely hidden but never told me where." Sango exclaimed. Both girls looked at Miroku. He just nodded. "Same as Sango.... That guy was so unpredictable. He made no sense. His visit gave more questions than answers." "Let's go after school. He deserves a burial of some sort." Kagome said. "But it's going to smell so bad in there from two decaying bodies. I'm not tuching a skeleton." Sango whispered, shuddering. "His body isn't gone, it looks just the same. Even same expression on his face." Kagome explained. After school, Kagome showed the two her vent entrance. Once inside, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku walked up to the body hanging on the wall. "Just the same, how?" Sango Kagome walked up to the body. Miroku and Sango close behind. "Let's get this arrow out." Kagome said as she gripped the arrow. As soon as she touched the arrow, his body seemed to return to life. The color returned to his face and his eyes just flew open. Kagome noticed and jumped back. Inuyasha just hung there. Miroku and Sango were shocked as well. Actually, there feet were as good as glued to the floor. "Just grip the arrow and pull, I can't touch it." Inuyasha instructed her. As she walked forward, "Duck now!" Inuyasha yelled. A claw clasped the air right where Kagome and her friends were standing. "Ahhhhh!" Sango screamed as the claw hooked on her long hair. It pulled her back by her hair and picked her up in the air by her throat.

"Kagome, unhook me now or Sango will die!" Inuyasha prompted Kagome forcefully. Kagome ran to Inuyasha and grabbed the arrow. Suddenly, a jolt of electricity shot from the arrow through Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome was screaming as Inuyasha just grabbed Kagome's shoulder and shook her lightly. "Hurry, or Sango dies..." He muttered to her. She just groaned as she literally ripped out the arrow. Inuyasha fell to the ground. Everyone, even the demon turned and stared at him. Inuyasha's head was down and his bangs covered his face. He pulled his head up. His face could only be described as horrifying. His mouth was twisted in a wicked grin. His eyes showed one desire......to kill! "It's been one year with no exorcise. DIE!" he screamed as his one good leg pushed him forward hard enough to ram the demon. As he collided, Sango fell. Both Inuyasha and the demon collided and bounced back. However, as Inuyasha landed, his bad leg refused to hold him. He fell to one knee, glaring at the demon. "So, you are the great Inuyasha I heard so much about. You are tarnish in a great line, you are a traitor to you're nature!" The demon said kicking Inuyasha sending the silver-haired boy fly up into the air and fall with a thud right in front of Miroku. "That's it, if my leg wasn't busted I'd landed perfectly.." Inuyasha muttered as he got up. He got up just to have the demon knock him into the wall. He just fell on one knee with his hands on the ground for balance. He crossed his arms on his chest. To everyone's surprise, he jammed his finger nails into his chest. Then he pulled his blood-soaked fingers out and held them out at his side. "Blades of Blood!" he yelled as his bloodied fingers slashed at the air and red blades shot out. The demon avoided the first four blades, but the other six hit their mark. The demon was sliced into sixths and the bloody parts fell to the ground. Inuyasha tried to get up but to no avail. "You guys, get going. I'll meet up with you when I'm better." "If you're sure, but can we get a first-aid kit and clean you up a bit?" Sango asked. "Sure, only if you want to. None of my wounds are too bad." Inuyasha said trying to get up again but collapsing. "I'm gonna be here for a while anyway." At this, the Sango, Miroku and Kagome went off to get the first aid kit and in five minutes, they were back with the white box. "You'll have to take your shirt off or else we can't clean your wounds." Miroku stated.

Inuyasha started to pull off his shredded shirt when he gasped and clutched his shoulder. "Ahhhhh, he yelped" "Here, you probably hurt your shoulder too." Miroku said as he helped Inuyasha remove the shreds that was his sweater, tie, and shirt. When it was all off. Inuyasha just sat there. All three of the students were staring at him. "What?" "That's not right. Every inch of this guy is muscle." Miroku gasped. "I've never seen a guy my age with so much muscle!" "Uh, let's just do what we came to do, okay." Kagome said. She stepped up to Inuyasha, using gauze to clean off the blood. The other two did the same. In around half an hour, the three were done. "Okay promise you won't tell anyone about me being alive or anything, will you?" "Okay, we won't." they all agreed. "Good, here, grab my hand and then you take Sago's hand. Sango, take Miroku's hand." Inuyasha said to Kagome. "If you say so." Sango said as they formed a little chain. When they were all done, Inuyasha grunted under his breath and they all felt a sudden lurch. Suddenly, they were in Kagome's room. "Whoa, what a way to go!" Kagome said completely shocked. "Yeah, but it takes a lot of energy to teleport and I don't have a lot. That drained me completely!" Inuyasha said sitting down. "Promise me you won't tell anyone what I'm going to show you!" Inuyasha said rather forcefully. "If you sa....." Kagome started. But Inuyasha interrupted her. "No 'if you say so's' this is an important secret no-one knows about. Yes or No!" "Fine yes! What can be that important!" Sango said and the others nodded. "Fine." Inuyasha said as a golden field appeared around him. The glow started to disappear starting with the feet. His ears disappeared and dog ears actually sprouted out of his silvery hair. His hands finger nails grew and turned more claw-like than anything. "Oh my god........." the three muttered simultaneously. "Yeah, I'm a youkai, I know. But the reason why I showed you now is so that you deserve an explanation for my dog-like behavior. Also because I could use your help. But, I think I'll change, I'm a mess!" He headed to his backpack and pulled out his yukata. He headed into the bathroom, changed, and deposited the shreds in his backpack. "Okay, where was I. Oh yeah, Sango, Miroku, please, drop your concealing spells." Inuyasha said as the two mentioned just grinned. "How long have you known?" Sango asked as she dropped her spell. "Since I saw you two so constantly with your eyes on me. You always seemed like you were ready to dodge an attack whenever I walked by. Also, Miroku here whacked a tree when he was pissed off and left a hand-print three inches deep, so I ended up putting a concealing spell on the tree right over the print." Inuyasha explained as Miroku dropped her spell. "Waaaaaa!" Kagome screamed as she saw the three. "Why didn't you tell me this." "Because uhhh......" Sango started. Inuyasha finished for her. "Because your friends here are demon hunters." "At least you two don't have those outlines of others around you. I thought I needed glasses." Kagome said. "You could see through our disguises! What are you! No human can see through a concealing spell! WHAT ARE YOU!" Miroku gasped as he backed away. "A MIKO"
