The following day went normally, until everyone got home from school. As Kagome, Kyoken, Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha all walked toward the shrine, Inuyasha froze. "Sesshomaru...." He mumbled as he jumped into the woods and released his concealing spell. The other's followed, all lowering their spells as well. As they ran through the woods, they spotted a tall demon with white hair like Inuyasha's only this one had a large fluffy tail over his shoulder. It was thicker than Inuyasha's. "Sesshomaru, back to cause more problems I see? Oh, I'm sorry, it's 'FLUFFY'" Inuyasha mocked as the demon turned to them. It was the same demon who had impaled Inuyasha months ago. Kagome was very worried for the safety of the boy, that's when it dawned on her, this guy had a different arm than last time. It looked human in all forms, yet attached to a demon. "Inuyasha, my weak Halfling brother, I will kill you for disgracing all demons." Sesshomaru growled as he sent an energy whip at Inuyasha. Inuyasha used the Tetsusaiga to block the attack but wasn't ready to parry the next whip. The result was the sword flying out of Inuyasha's hand and stabbing itself into the ground...directly next to Sesshomaru who just reached down to pick it up. The blade transformed back into its huge form for Sesshomaru. "I'm not impressed, Inuyasha. All this time with the Tetsusaiga and you haven't managed to tap into its full power yet." Sesshomaru said as he motioned to the froglike creature to come towards him. The youkai did as he was told, rather hesitantly though. "Jaken, release the demons." Sesshomaru commanded as the frog demon, which apparently went by the name of 'Jaken' said some words which Kagome thought were a spell of some kind. As if by command, a horde of youkai sprang up from the ground and shot into the air. Sesshomaru held up the sword and brought it down with one mighty swipe and three blades of energy shot out of the blade. In a flash of light, the blades connected with the horde. The demons all disappeared and hunks of charred flesh fell all around the fighters. When the light fully cleared, all of the youkai were gone, err, not quite alive. They were still there, just that their bodies littered the forest floor. What was left of their bodies at least? Sesshomaru seemed happy with the outcome of the attack. "One- hundred demons, slaughtered as if they were nothing." he said to the very shocked onlookers. Half an hour later, the ground was charred from being hit with so many of the deadly energy blades. The trees were long sense incinerated. Kagome was resting against a rock where she had fallen. Sango and Miroku were next to her watching the fight. Suddenly a mass of buzzing, wasp-like creatures shot toward the three onlookers. "Wind Tunnel!" Miroku yelled as he ungloved his hand revealing that his hand had a hole in it. It worked like a black hole, sucking in the wasps. He did this for a minute before closing it back up and falling to the ground. "Those wasps have a poison. I got poisoned right through my Wind Tunnel." Miroku gasped as he seemed to lack out. Kagome had finally had enough of this fight. She remembered how Inuyasha had been showing her how to shoot better with a bow and arrow. She ran back to the shrine, which were only a couple minutes away, to retrieve the items. She returned minutes later with an arrow already loaded. She jumped up onto a rock and shot it. The arrow clanged off the sword harmlessly. For a second anyway until the sword transformed back to it's rusty form due to the purifying powers in the arrow. Sesshomaru growled a bit and the sword started to glow with a red light. He swiped it into the air and brought it down. Even in its old form, the Tetsusaiga still released a single beam of the energy which Inuyasha barely managed to dodge. Within minutes, the sword transformed back into its more powerful form. Sesshomaru was about to perform another Cutting Wind (I think that's what it's called. Correct me if I'm wrong!). Inuyasha slipped between the blades and stopped the sword from making a full descent to the ground where the blades would have cut up the three. Both demons were now holding the swords handle clashed in an attempt to break the other one's hold on the device. Sesshomaru brought a clawed hand into the air and brought it down on Inuyasha's skull. Blood trickled down the hanyou's face. However, he just laughed. "If you haven't noticed, Sesshomaru, the Tetsusaiga's back in my hands now!" Inuyasha yelled as he ripped the arm off at the elbow. He backed up a bit before falling to his knees, using the Tetsusaiga as a support. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken gasped. "Inuyasha has lost consciousness." Sesshomaru started to walk up to Inuyasha. As he got within five feet of his brother, the sword glowed red and a white blade shot from the ground straight at the youkai lord. The demon avoided the blade but just walked away. "Come, Jaken, we will not get the Tetsusaiga today." He said as the frog like demon ran to catch up with its retreating master. The Tetsusaiga went back to its old form and Inuyasha fell on his side. His usually white hair was now streaked with crimson from the blow to the head. The rest of his hair was soaked in his blood on the ground. Inuyasha seemed to wake up, he grinned a bit, and then his world went black. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes. He saw a crowd of blurry forms around him. There were voices all around him. He could tell that someone had reactivated his concealing spell so that he looked human. The forms started to take form, as did the voices. He groaned as he tried to sit up but someone pushed him back down again. "Damn my head hurts like hell..." Inuyasha groaned. He put his hand up to his head to feel a warm fluid flowing over his hand. He looked at his hand to see it covered in blood. "Damn you Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled in frustration. He tried to sit up again only to be pushed down, again. "Let me up, God damnit!" Inuyasha growled as the person let him sit up. He felt dizzy. He tried to stand up and had to use a tree for support. He found the Tetsusaiga on the ground, lying in a pool of his own blood. He bent down to pick it up, still holding a tree branch for support. He sheathed his sword and turned to the people whom were around him when he woke up. His sight was back at full, as was the pain in his head. 'What the...' Inuyasha thought as he noticed that he felt like something was compressing his head. He reached up and felt a bandage wrapped around his head. Kagome walked up to the boy to help him lie down. "Good, glad to see that you're alright. Why don't you lie down, Sesshomaru hit you pretty hard on your head. It still hasn't stopped bleeding but it should recover soon." Kagome told him as he helped him to lie down again. He suddenly felt very tired and quickly let sleep claim him once again. "I'm glad that he's alright." Kagome whispered as she turned to her two friends. Inuyasha woke up a while later. The ground under him was soft and comfortable....wait, soft and fluffy! Inuyasha rolled over to see that he was lying on the couch in the living room of the shrine. His head felt better and he no longer felt the blood trickling down his forehead. His white, errr, crimson, hair was tossed over his shoulder and lay in front of him. He saw the Tetsusaiga resting against the wall. "Ahhhhh, that's better." Inuyasha moaned as he sat up. He saw that it was now dark outside. He noticed that Kagome was leaning on the front of the couch. She was asleep. He smiled lightly at the sight before walking over to the wall that his sword was leaning upon. He picked up his sheathed sword and reapplied it to his weapon's sash. Inuyasha walked out onto the shrine's porch. The cool air felt good against his body. His head didn't hurt as much anymore so he lowered the concealing spell which had been put back under his control while he was asleep and slashed apart the bandages on his head. "I've got to try that attack." Inuyasha growled as he ran into the forest. He found a safe spot and started to swing the now transformed Tetsusaiga around. Then he held it the same way Sesshomaru had and brought it down the exact same way. The sword glowed with gold fire but nothing came out. "Damn! Not even a spark!" Inuyasha growled as he tried again. He tried holding it differently again and again. However, the most that he got out of the sword was the fiery glow of the gold. "Damnit! Nothing!" Inuyasha yelled in frustration. Apparently, Inuyasha had awakened Kagome when he left and was so caught up with the Tetsusaiga that he never even sensed Kagome. She followed him into the woods and watched him as he practiced with the sword. "Why can't he use that attack!? He's the Tetsusaiga's owner, why would it work for a stranger but not Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered in shock as she watched the boy throw the sword, stabbing it through a tree. "Why won't it work!?" Inuyasha moaned in even greater frustration. That's when he caught Kagome's scent in the air. "Kagome!" he yelled. "If you're going to spy on me, at least do it right! Stay downwind of your prey." Inuyasha said a bit quieter now that he had Kagome's attention. Kagome walked out from behind the bushes she was hiding behind. "Why can't you use the Tetsusaiga's attack?" Kagome asked the hanyou. "I don't know, Kagome, I just don't know..." His voice trailed off at Kagome's question. "Come back inside. It's really late and you need to heal yourself. It's cold out here anyway." Kagome told the boy as she started to walk away. "I'm not going anywhere! I will master that attack if it's the last thing that I do!" Inuyasha growled at the girl. "Yes you are Inuyasha! You hurt yourself badly and you need to rest. You're going to come back and rest, then you can come out here and play with your sword!" Kagome ordered the boy. What came out of Inuyasha's mouth was something that caught her completely off guard. It was something that sounded like a growl except that it suddenly got very loud and went back to being quiet yet deadly. That's when it hit her, Inuyasha was barking at her and judging by the fact that her demon blood started to boil, that bark must mean something very bad. Kagome started to growl at him. He seemed slightly taken aback by Kagome's growl. He frowned and his face tightened up. He opened his mouth and what came out sounded like a lion's roar. It was loud enough to make the trees shake from the sheer force of the sound. Kagome's demon blood seemed to cower in fear at that sound. Her courage turned to mush as she heard the roar. "Yikes! Sorry, sorry!" She gasped as she fell to her knees. She seemed terrified at the sound even though she didn't know why. She figured that her demon blood was reacting to the roar as if it were a terrible scolding. Shippo suddenly bounded through the bushes into Kagome's arms. "What did you do that for jerk?" Shippo screamed at the half-demon. "I did what I needed to make her leave me alone." He growled at the kit, and then his voice seemed to soften up. "If my brother can use the full power of this sword and I can't, well...was this sword meant to be mine?" Inuyasha's voice seemed drowned in worry and anxiety. Kagome seemed to find her legs now and stood up. "Inuyasha, I know that you're worried but you're hurt and you need to rest." Kagome told the boy. "Feh! I'm a demon and I can take care of myself!" Inuyasha yelled back. "I'm sorry; I just don't want you to get hurt!" Kagome gasped as she felt tears well up in her eyes. "Look, dog-face, you made her cry, you jerk!" Shippo screamed as Inuyasha looked shocked but it was quickly replaced by anger. Inuyasha didn't know what it was about her tears. He felt remorse for his actions, something he had never felt before. He didn't understand this feeling and it scared him. However, he could not let anyone know that he could have an ounce of fear in him. "Feh. Brat, I'll do as I want." Inuyasha snarled at the kit as he turned his back on Kagome and Shippo. Kagome's tears were now falling freely. She got up and ran towards the shrine. Inuyasha grabbed her arm to stop her. She pulled every ounce of her strength into her arm and slapped his face. The collision was so hard that it not only knocked Inuyasha off of her but sent him flying into a tree. He was on his feet at near lightning speed but Kagome and Shippo were already at the shrine (demon speed is a wondrous thing^.^) Inuyasha just growled. That growl turned into an all-out snarl. He finally lost it and threw his head back and released a roar that made the ground rumble. He was still roaring as he started to glow with gold fire. That fire expanded, it grew to being at least twenty feet into the air, illuminating the night sky. He stopped roaring after a few minutes and the fire died down. Inuyasha looked around and cringed a bit. The force of the energy erupting from his body had incinerated all the trees within thirty feet of him, for at least forty feet the trees were charred. "Damn! Kagome's gonna kill me now!" Inuyasha moaned as he activated a concealing spell around the land he had scorched. He walked back up to the shrine. Shippo groaned at seeing Inuyasha. "Can't that jerk just go away for a while!? All that he causes is trouble." Inuyasha continued to walk forward toward the shrine. He didn't enter the house though, rather, he walked up to the God Tree and leaned against it. He felt like a rat! 'How can a human effect me like that!? It makes no sense! Damn me and my pride.' were among the thoughts running through his head as he stood up on his own and started walking towards the house. "Kagome?" He whispered as he slowly open her door. Shippo had caused him crap but, in the end, let Inuyasha through (better than the other option which was a transformed Tetsusaiga pressed against his throat, ready to slash if Shippo refused!). He saw her lying on her bed, her face was buried in her pillow but the smell of salt from her tears was strong enough to make the hanyou lose his balance and fall flat on his face. There was one problem though, when he passed out for less than a second, he awoke to find himself on top of Kagome who was, let's just say, something between mortified and really pissed off! "Hentai!!!" She screamed as she went to slap him. She backed it with all the energy that she could muster. He dodged the attack, even though swearing that his hair hadn't, and flipped up onto the end of her bed. "Kagome, I'm sorry! It's not what it looked like!!!" Inuyasha gasped as he caught the dangerous glint in her eye. "Damn!" He gasped as she stood up and lowered her concealing spell. Inuyasha was now dodging claws for all he was worth. He quickly found out that Kagome's attacks seemed to speed up as she got angrier. Right now he needed to stop her before her youkai blood took over. He jumped to the other side of the room and outstretched his arm, aiming it at the advancing Kagome. "Sekiha..." Inuyasha started and Kagome froze, knowing that that attack would kill her if it hit. She was now shocked as she seemed to wake up from a trance and fall to her knees. Inuyasha caught the girl before she hit the floor. "Damn! She's gonna be one hell of a contender if she ever gets that power under control." Inuyasha muttered to himself as he laid Kagome down in her bed. Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She felt exhausted beyond belief even though she didn't remember doing anything that would consume that kind of energy. 'Oh yea...' went through Kagome's mind as she remembered that she had put all of her energy into hitting him as hard as she could last night (I know that sounds bad; Shudder perverts!!!). She was actually able to think well now, unlike earlier. 'What the hell would have made him do that?' Kagome thought to herself as she walked downstairs for breakfast. Inuyasha was eating toast in a very interesting fashion. He would make a fireball float in the air, he'd toss a slice of bread through the fire and it would come out lightly charred. "Interesting toaster." Kagome told the boy as she tossed two slices of bread through the flame. Kagome looked at Inuyasha to see that he was sporting a large red mark on his cheek where she had slapped him. "Ouch..." She murmured to herself. "You don't know the half of it. I thought that I told you that I wasn't a pervert!" Inuyasha growled at her. "You just fell on top of me! Excuse me but if you don't think that's perverted then, god, you're insane!" Kagome glared back at him. "Damn! I didn't know tears could have such a strong scent! God! I just passed out from the smell alone." Inuyasha mumbled. His intent was not to have Kagome hear that comment, however, she had, a little. "What was that, dog-boy." Kagome asked the boy, still sounding ready to kill. "I passed out 'cause of the smell of your fricken tears! Can I stand straight when I'm out cold!!??" Inuyasha snarled at her. "No, I guess you couldn't..." Her voice died down. "I'm sorry for getting so mad at you. It's just that....that statement really hurt my feelings." Inuyasha had a very cruel statement about weak humans on the tip of his tongue, he just didn't say it. He couldn't say it, his heart seemed to be yelling at him to stop. He couldn't bring himself to possibly hurt Kagome. "Yea." was all he could get out. "You can be very cruel when you're angry. I'm sorry for slapping you." She whispered as tears started to well up in her eyes again. 'Shit! She's gonna cry again. Damnit I hate it when she cries!' Inuyasha mentally berated himself for making her cry again. "God, Kagome please don't cry!" Inuyasha moaned as the floodgates in Kagome's eyes opened and the tears came pouring down. She ran forward and wrapped her arms around him with enough force to send him flying off his chair and onto the ground with Kagome still hugging him. Inuyasha just patted her back in any way he could think of to make the girl stop crying. She finally got off him and stood up, helping him up at the same time. 'Well she seems to have cooled down. Yikes! Weird humans! They have more mood swings than I care to mention!' Were the thoughts flying through the hanyou's mind. "Humans confuse me..." Inuyasha mumbled for only the girl's ears to hear. "Don't forget, you're half human yourself." Kagome reminded him. He just scowled. "It's not like I'm proud of it! My human side is my weakness. If I were a full demon then I wouldn't have these problems if I weren't half human!" He informed the girl. "Oh, I see. Sorry." She mumbled in response and Inuyasha was surprised to smell the salt of tears again. 'Damn!' He mentally screamed for hurting the girl again. He tried hugging her again and she started to calm down. "Sorry Kagome. It's just that everyone hates me for being half human and half demon! Humans shun me for being half tainted with demon blood. The demons think the same about my human blood only that demons wish to kill me. Most would if I wasn't the son of a great Taiyoukai (a Taiyoukai is a demon lord). That blood makes me a bit more powerful than the average half-breed, most demons fear my power, but enough don't to make my life a challenge." Inuyasha tried to explain to the girl while trying to comfort her. "Okay." She murmured. "Let's get ready for school." Kagome said as she stopped crying. The two continued to eat toast and cereal. Kagome was shocked to find out that demons have an, err, a very healthy appetite. Actually, her appetite had near doubled. Minutes later, the two were at the door. They had extra time so they decided to drop the car idea and jumped to school, rooftop-to-rooftop of course! Nobody spotted them as they landed on the school roof. They opened the door of the stairs and ran down the staircase. Sango and Miroku were waiting in the classroom. Kagome pointed out the window and broke out laughing. Inuyasha looked out and nearly joined her in laughing. Outside in the parking lot was Kikyo. She was just standing there waiting for Inuyasha's car to pull up. Just then the bell rang and Kikyo looked really pissed. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the sight as Kikyo walked into the classroom and spotted Inuyasha...standing next to Kagome. He was laughing like a lunatic now but immediately stopped as he spotted Kikyo. *Shit! Screwed again! I'm in deep shit now! What am I going to do about this girl!* Inuyasha's voice echoed through Kagome's head and she couldn't help but grin. The problem was that Kikyo caught that grin and took it as Kagome was mocking her! She grabbed Inuyasha's arm and started to pull him towards the desk next to hers. Needless to say, Inuyasha's feet were attached to the ground like blocks of cement and he wasn't going anywhere! Kikyo tried again and again and only succeeded in falling on her butt! Kagome was holding back laughter, the rest of the class was over the edge with laughter. "Sorry Kikyo! I'm sitting over here today." Inuyasha told the girl as she started to cry. "I don't believe you! You bastard!!! You've been double timing me! You fricken traitor!!" Kikyo screamed as she slapped him. His hand flew up to his cheek as he whimpered slightly in pain. *That couldn't have hurt you that much! She's a human!* Kagome asked him mentally. *It wasn't her slap! She slapped me right where you had and I'm still feeling it! God that stings!* Inuyasha replied as he rubbed his cheek. The teacher walked in and everyone sat down for class. Inuyasha sat in the back corner of the class. Kagome sat next to him. About halfway through the class, Kagome heard a beeping sound. It was just loud enough for her demon ears to hear. She turned to the source to see Inuyasha with his PDA out on his desk. 'What's with that guy now! Those things aren't aloud out during class! He's gonna get another detention!' were the thoughts running through the girl's brain as she sent a message to Inuyasha via mind link. *What are you doing! That beep was too low for any human to hear. What is so important that you need to have your PDA tell you!?* She screamed into his mind. *My database at my castle is responding to a demon moving towards the city at high speeds. Whatever it is, it's fast and it has an energy reading of around 3000.* he told the girl. *Energy points? That makes no sense to me! What is your basic energy reading?* her voice rang in his head. *My energy reading is around 50,000 when at its max. In my true form, it's around eighty-thousand.* He told her. *Then you'll have no problem beating It.* Kagome told the boy. *I only wish. My computer's database is saying that there's an immense power held within the smaller one. I don't know how great but I know that what we're seeing is like my human form without my wings and tail. He's not in his true form.* He told the now worried girl. *I've got mini cameras around the city that are linked to my computer. I'll know when he's in range of danger.* *I hope you're right.* was her reply as Inuyasha put away his PDA and Went back to the teacher, err, the window he'd been staring out of for the past hour, completely ignoring the teacher. "Inuyasha. Inuyasha! INUYASHA!!!" The teacher tried to snap Inuyasha out of his little daydream. "Inuyasha, please do problem number three on the board." She instructed the boy as he sighed and walked up to the board. Inuyasha just realized how helpful a mental link with someone who actually paid attention could be. After school, the group went out to find that demon. Within the hour, they found it. However, it didn't take the shape that they were expecting. A tiny snake slithered up to them. "Well, the energy reading is coming from this little guy." Inuyasha nearly laughed. The snake hissed and spit an acid in Inuyasha's direction. "Whoa!" Inuyasha gasped as the acid hit the tree, right behind where he'd been standing. Where there used to be a tree, there was just ashes and charred ground. Inuyasha couldn't help the gasp that released from his lips. The snake heard this and its face seemed to twist into an evil grin. "Toooo much for the greeeeaaat *Looorrrrd Iiinuuuyaaassshaaa?" The snake hissed in a mocking tone. "Hell no! You're dead! Show me your true form!" Inuyasha yelled to the snake as he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and lowered his concealing spell. The snake hissed an inaudible reply before it was engulfed in a tornado of dark purple energy. When the wind cleared, there was a creature about seven feet high. It looked like a snake with wings, clawed hands, and talons on its feet. It was covered with green scales and white spikes.

"A dragon!" They heard Inuyasha gasp as the winged serpent took flight and dove like a falcon toward the onlookers. That's when he spotted a human girl hiding behind a tree near the open spot where Inuyasha and his friends were standing. The girl screamed and Kagome's head flew in the direction of the scream. 'Please don't let that voice be who I think it is.' Kagome wished in her mind as her eyes focused on the form of the girl running towards them with the swooping dragon not far behind. Kagome was suddenly very happy that she and Sango and Miroku hadn't lowered their concealing spells. "Damn it! Ami!" Kagome muttered as Ami ran toward them holding one of Kagome's school books. The girl ran up to Kagome and tripped (again 'notice a pattern!?) she covered her head with her hands and waited for the stabbing of the talons into her back. However, it never came. She opened her eyes to see Inuyasha, only with silver hair, an ancient kimono, and doggie ears, standing over her with a huge sword in his hands. The sword was holding off the dragon's talons and Ami ran to Kagome, Miroku and Sango. "Guys, why does Inuyasha look like some lunatic!? He's got white hair and doggie ears on his head for Kami's sake!" Ami screamed at her friends. "He's a demon, err, a half demon..." Kagome tried to explain but immediately stopped what she was saying as Inuyasha's limp body skidded to a halt in front of her. 'I can hear Inuyasha's heart beating so I know he's not dead. Those dragons are dead now...but what can I do without blowing my cover?!' Kagome was screaming in her head. Her thoughts were answered for her when Inuyasha got to his feet. He coughed up a little blood before smirking. "Feh! For dragons, you guys are pitiful. Don't even know how to kill your opponent properly! You'll pay for that mistake." Inuyasha said as one of the dragons took to the sky and dove at Inuyasha. "DDDAAAIII!!!" It screamed in a hiss-like tone as it brought its talons down at Inuyasha. "You're slow too!" Inuyasha muttered as he easily avoided the sharp talons. Within seconds, all of the dragons were in the air and flying in circles in the sky over an apparently amused Inuyasha. "Oh! So it's an air battle you're going for! Even flying can't save you now!" Inuyasha screamed as a tornado of golden light crashed down from the sky and engulfed Inuyasha. "What the...!" Ami gasped as she, along with the others watching, covered their eyes from the high winds and flying objects kicked up from the energy whirl-wind. However, that was nothing compared to her gasp when the energy disappeared. She saw Inuyasha standing there, only he had two large wings on his back and two smaller wings in-between the larger ones on his back. The winged boy turned his smaller wings so that they were against his back to be followed by the larger ones making it look like he was wearing a cape of feathers. "Try me in my true form bastards!" Inuyasha bellowed as the dragons swooped down at him, only to see him vanish and reappear behind the group of onlookers. He stepped forward through the group and started glowing with that gold fire again. In a flash, Inuyasha was in front of one of the winged beasts with the Tetsusaiga jammed into the dragon's heart. He ripped out the bloody blade and let out a cruel chuckle. "Don't play with things that you can't handle." Inuyasha murmured as he dodged another blow from a dragon. However, even he was caught off guard as he landed from a rolling dodge only to have a dragon open its mouth and a wall of flames shot out of its mouth toward Inuyasha. Inuyasha was now engulfed in flames along with the gold energy. He looked like a giant fireball with a human core. *If you can't stand the heat...get out of my way!* Inuyasha's voice sounded in Kagome's head as Inuyasha dashed at the dragons. Inuyasha jumped into the air, letting the high winds extinguish the flames around him and opened his huge wings and shot at a dragon closest to him. The dragon was in halves within seconds. He just landed and gasped at the sight that he caught in his eyes. In front of him, the group of onlookers was surrounded by the remaining dragons. They had their mouths open, all except for one which soon spoke. "Surrender lord Inuyasha or your friends will be scorched. Lay down your sword and return to your old form and your friends will not die. You die or they die, you get to choose." The dragon hissed as fireballs formed within the mouths of the other dragons, showing that they were perfectly willing to fire at will and burn alive all of the hanyou's friends. "I won't do that!" Inuyasha yelled. The fireballs within the dragon's mouths got larger. He became oblivious to the fact of the fireballs when his eyes came to rest on his friends in the middle of the dragons. Sango and Miroku looked almost scared, a major change from their usual fearless appearance. Kagome looked near tears although the reason was unknown to the boy. Ami was downright horrified. Kyoken looked confident. That's when Hojo and Yuka walked in to see why Ami was taking so long. "What the hell!" Yuka gasped as one of the dragons pointed a claw at them and a red whip shot out, wrapped around the two new kids and yanked them within the circle. "Who's that!" Hojo and Yuka both said at the same time as Yuka pointed at a now winged, silver haired, dog eared, golden eyed, huge sword totin' boy. "Now, Lord Inuyasha! You have even more the reason to surrender to us. More humans will be scorched alive...all because of you, you half- breed." The dragon hissed at the now frustrated looking demon. "No..." Inuyasha muttered as the options started flying through his head. 'I can't let them die, but I can't give up. I need to keep these humans safe....' "...Kagome, I can't let...damn." he unconsciously said out loud. "Fine. Let the humans go first." Inuyasha told the dragons as they snorted in disbelief. "Okay, let them go or..." Inuyasha was cut off by one of the dragons. "Let them go! I want the lord dead. Not humans, it would attract more humans to this area! Let them go then Inuyasha can do as he wishes, if he lies, we'll beat the shit out of him! He's probably tired after his transformation. Just make him go from his true form to his other form, then we let the humans go." One dragon suggested. "No, he goes all the way back to his disguised form but can keep the sword, that's better." another retorted. "Fine." Inuyasha spat as he was engulfed by the energy and it cleared with him wingless. Then he reactivated his concealing spell and sheathed his blade. "Happy now?! Let them go now." Inuyasha demanded. "No! We changed our minds! We think that some human meat could do us good. We'll keep them as slaves or eat them." the dragons said as each grabbed a human and spread their wings, leaving Inuyasha to catch up. He started running and sped up as he gradually transformed to his true form. However, the dragons were long gone by the time Inuyasha took flight. "Damnit!!!" Inuyasha cursed as he shot off in the direction the dragons scent led. ************************* ************************* There ya go! Enjoy this cliffhanger!
