Hey guys! I seem to be having a bit of trouble writing lately, but I'll try my best. I don know yet if I'm going to let them live…but I think I will, and then I think I'll keep as on-going as I can. I'll be open to suggestions and comments, so just lemme know if ya want something said or done, k? And I haven't decided on my new threat yet, but you still better be nice when you review, or I'll think o something REAL nasty and REAL mean, and I'll use it on you and they will forever know it by your name. There will be some OOC for a while, but I'll try and get past the issues, and the story won't get good and going without the wacky explanations, but it's gotta make sense, even if it is confusing and really weird. So anyways, play nice and kick some ass!

"Hey, kid… I got you there for a moment."
"Inuyasha!" The kit looked into the older boys eyes half in rage, half in relief, just before bopping him on the head, "You moron! This is no time for childish pranks!! Lady Kagome's life is at stake!"
"Alright, alright, but I'll have you know that if I get up now and go all the way to Kaede, I'll be in a coma when I get there."
"Fine! As long as you get there!" The little kit had to help Inuyasha walk every now and then, but they made it to the village
The others were instantly there to get Inuyasha into the hut, and were bombarding him with questions like "What happened?" "Do you know the answer?" "Did you meet a demon?" "Are you okay?" He growled at them all and finally got to lie down on a mat. He lie beside Kagome and looked over at her. Taking her hand and kissing it, he finally knew what he had to do. He let himself go, but he had to say one thing before he slipped into the same slumber she was lost in.
"Kagome, for you I sleep this sleep. For your love, do I die in this sleep. To bring you home do I cross this line. I love you, and for us, we shall return." His eyes rolled back, the darkness rushed to greet him, and he slipped away into another world, into the place that he knew his love was imprisoned in: The mind of Kagome. (A/N: And finally! The story BEGINS!!!! ;) Heh heh, took me a while to get it going. But at least Inu is alive! Right…?)
Inuyasha felt as if warm water had rushed over him and was pulling him away. He let himself be taken away by this warm feeling and he was freed from everything. HE was no longer tied to anything, and for a moment he was completely disoriented. He spun in circles, not seeing anything, and finally he felt it. The presence of Kagome's mind was just in front of him and he went for it, merging his mind with her own. He lost his control, lost his senses, and after such a large victory, he lost consciousness.
~~
Colors swirled around in front of his eyes. He didn't feel anything, he couldn't feel his arms or legs, anything. His eyes weren't there, but he knew colors were swirling in front of him. He tried to reach out, to find Kagome, but his arms and hands wouldn't work. He tried to see her, tried to feel her, but all he got was colors. The colors swirled faster, and he felt himself, his soul, swirling with them. Faster and faster, ripping him apart, the colors laughed at him. He thought he heard another laugh, a familiar one. Kagome. She was laughing to. It was that all to familiar laugh, but it was different somehow. It was sadistic, and sardonic, but somehow melancholy.
The laughter consumed his soul, and he could do nothing. Vile rose in his throat and they spun faster. The colors began to look like the crayon drawings of a two year old, scribbles and scratches. He retched as the colors spun more and more, and then…it stopped. Like that, it stopped. And he was his own person, standing in the rain. There was nothing but he, the rain, and the vomit down in the dirt.
A giggle behind him made him jerk around. His silver hair was damp around his face with sweat and he panted for breath. There before him stood Kikyo, as she had been when she was alive. She looked straight into his eyes, as if she were piercing his soul with arrows that flew straight from those narrowed eyes. Her voice startled him and it made him weak in the knees to hear all the anger and pure loathing she had for him.
"Well, stupid mutt. I see you've finally come to save your precious miko. Well, I'll have you know it won't be easy. I must say that if you can barely handle entering, you'll hardly be able to cope with what's in store. I have seen the miko's thoughts, and I see how much faith she has in you." She paused to chuckle at him "And now it seems we'll just have to test you. And see if you're really worth all the faith she puts in you."
"What the hell are you talkin' about?" He stood there in the rain, his face caught in a fierce scowl "I ain't puttin' up with your shit no more."
"Whatever. I just hope you can get to her before it's too late. I estimate about…336 hours till she goes. That gives you to mortal weeks to save her life. Good luck, you'll need it." With a manic laugh, she disappeared completely, leaving Inuyasha standing there in the dreary rain.
He decided maybe he ought to go and find shelter, but as he looked around in dismay, he saw nothing of the sort, just lots and lots of mud. He scowled and looked far beyond agitated. I DON'T want to be here! I can't believe I'm stuck here in imaginary rain. This is ridiculous. As if in answer to his thoughts, the rain began to steam and hiss. It burned on his clothes, singed his hair and made his arms itch painfully. Acid rain.
He growled irritably as he jerked his jacket up to cover his head. Something green caught his eye. He turned to see Kagome, standing in her pale green school uniform.
"Inuyasha?"
"Kagome!"
"Inuyasha, is that true? Is saving my life ridiculous?" The rain began to burn more and more, though her own image was untouched.
"Kagome…that's not what I meant. I meant standing in this rain is ridiculous. Come here."
The girl stood there hesitantly. The rain continued to fall, though as she began to think about what he'd said, it's acidity faltered and lowered. He took a step towards her, but she took two steps back. The acid rain became just plain acid. His jacket no longer protected him. As he tried to keep the tattered remains on his skin Kagome stood there, looking unsure. She then smiled.
"Well Inuyasha, let's see how you fair against this. Perhaps you would care to prove how well you know me."
A second Kagome stepped from the acid. And then a third, and a fourth, they laughed, all together an eerie sound that echoed through his brain, and they spoke together as well, "Well, little hanyou? Can you tell us which one is Kagome? Or, should I say me?" Their laughter continued as the poor dog-demon tried to work things out. How would he choose between tem? Did he really know Kagome well enough?

If you flame, you get locked in a room for eternity with Sango and tell her you agreed to bear Miroku's child. For the male specimens that read this, you will be locked in a room for eternity with Inuyasha after I tell him you got Kagome pregnant. Be kind and rewind! ? Toodles.
