(Last Chapter)

* I NEED HELP * she thought desperately. Suddenly at the God tree InuYasha's heart starts to beat again.

(This Chapter)

Kagome looked behind her just in time to see the tail of the Centipede Lady thrash out and hit her square in the stomach. Throwing her in to the god tree.

"OW! You could at least watch where you're thrown!" A voice shouted at the dazed demoness.

"Sorry." She mumbled, trying to stand up but she ended up falling from her perch on to the ground.

She looked up to see who spoke and froze. The boy who had been sealed on the tree was looking down at her looking rather irritated.

"It's only a weak centipede demon! That should be easy for a full blooded Inu demon." The boy started spouting off at her.

"Well EXCUSE me! I new with this demon thing!" She yelled angrily at him, "If your so good then why don't you take her out!?!"

"I would, but if you haven't noticed I'm kinda stuck to this tree for the moment!" The boy said, ticked that she couldn't see the obvious.

Then in a flat tone he said "It Comes."

Suddenly the Centipede lady (who had taken advantage to Kagome's distraction) and had took her long body and wrapped it several times around the tree tightened it. Wrapping Kagome to the god tree.

(InuYasha's POV)

The young demoness was wrapped tightly around the tree that he was stuck to, pain etched into her features.

"Hey," He said softly, "Can you pull out this arrow."

She just looked up at him confused gasping at the pain as the body of the centipede lady tightened around her slightly.

"I'm asking if you can pull this arrow out!" he said in a pissed voice.

"This arrow.. The arrow.." She said reaching her hand up towards the arrow, but shrank back in pain as the Centipede Lady kept on tightening her body around her.

Gathering up her strength the Girl reached up as far as she could and grasped the arrow. And pulled as hard as she could.

The arrow disappeared, shattering in to gold dust.

Suddenly, he didn't know why, but he started laughing uncontrollably. The Centipede lady knowing that that was a bad time decided to stop her slow torture of the demoness who had insulted her and put an end to it, as she took her long body and covered the whole tree and started to squeeze as hard as she could but she was to late.

InuYasha easily swiped his claws and her body started raining down in peaces.

(Kagome's POV)

Kagome landed on the ground with a thud. She stared dazed at the seen that was playing before her.

The boy who, apparently she had just unsealed from the tree, was standing on a limb and started stretching back and forth, looking like one of those exercise movies. The centipede lady was still alive squirming in pain on the ground.

Kagome finally stood up and walked over to the centipede lady and with a swipe of her claws, and she squirmed no more.

"HEY!" The boy cried he had just finished stretching, " I was going to do that! Jesh!!! You finally wake up from an enchanted sleep and want to fight, but no! Some on has to finish off the demon you were going to fight!" Suddenly he looked at her weird and then an evil smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey you're a demoness, I guess I can still have my fun!" he said gleefully as he cracked his knuckles

Kagome just stood in shock * Why did he bother saving me? * She thought as she shrank back in terror.
