Chapter 8

A Monks Confessions and a Maidens Vision.

Kagome's heart stopped.

"No . . .!"

Umoniku jumped back, out of the small crater that he had created. InuYasha lay at the bottom, deathly still.

"InuYasha . . .!" she gasped, tears now threatening to fall.

"It seems that your precious hanyou wasn't strong as they said he was. Pity." He turned away from InuYasha's body to Kagome, with a lustful look in his eyes that made Kagome shiver with disgust.

"Now female . . . Kagome, was it? You will join me in collecting the jewel shards, unless you want all of your friends and family to suffer the same fate."

Kagome back away from him, until she hit the door of the castle and had no where else to go.

'InuYasha!'

"Hey FLEABAG!"

Kagome looked up over the tiger demon's shoulder.

InuYasha was bruised and cut; there was a hole in the front of his fire rat's skin haori, the dark red blood clearly visible through his white undergarment. He was sweating, panting, and was using his Tetsusaiga to help himself stand, but he was very much alive!

"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed joyously.

Umoniku turned to look at InuYasha.

"I see that you _can_ take a hit."

He smirked,

'Impressive,' he thought, 'No one has survived my poison this long,
nor my Fists of Ice . . . he shall be entertaining to watch die. For I know his one weakness . . .'

InuYasha growled, "Bastard. You wanna fight me or not?!"

The tiger demon quickly leapt into the air and came to land right in front of InuYasha.

"Yes."

BAM!!!

InuYasha was punched across the face so fast he didn't even see his fist. Luckily he caught himself; using his left hand, he finished the fall in a back flip, turning on his palm and landing lightly on his feet.

'He's too fast!'

He tried to look back up at the tiger demon, but the vision in one eye was becoming hazy.

'Damn, the poison from his hands must be getting into my system.'

He didn't know how right he was. The poison from Umoniku earlier clawing was now rushing through his system. It would slowly paralyze him, causing great pain and agony.

"Ready to die, InuYasha?"

The hanyou spat, "Yeah right, you would really love the easy way out, wouldn't you?"

'If I can summon Tetsusaiga's ultimate power, by slicing the scar the is created by the demonic winds, I can get rid of this demon easily.'

"Prepare yourself!"

He closed his eyes and reopened them, he could see the Wind Scar shimmering and forming between the two demonic powers, his own was blue, and Umoniku's was orange.

'The Wind Scar . . .'

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sango . . ."

Sango awoke, looking at the person who had called her name.

"Miroku . . ." she wiped his face with a cloth, he still had a fever. What was she going to do? She should be helping InuYasha and Kagome, which was what Miroku would want her to do. To leave him there with Kirara and Shippo and go help them . . . but she couldn't!

"Sango . . .!"

Sango's heart wrenched, she took his hand and held it gently in hers.

"Miroku . . . I'm here."

"Sango . . . you need to know . . . I love you . . ."

The shock that went through her was indescribable, unmatched by anything she had ever felt before!

'No,' she thought firmly, shaking it off, 'He is just speaking feverishly. Just babble.' She paused.

Besides, no one would love her anyway; she was unfeminine and undesirable . . . because she was a strong and independent, nothing like any of the other women . . . she was a demon slayer, her devotion was to her family and kin. Not to love . . .

She glanced down at Shippo, who was now resting on her lap. She lay back against Kirara's warm fur. Anxiety washing over her as she sat and waited, praying that Kagome and InuYasha would be all right.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome watched the fight with fear all over her face. Her nightmare had come true . . . did this mean that the other one would come true?!

~Flash!~

"Kagome . . . it's going to alright." Sango told Kagome wrapping her arm around her shoulders.
In spite of Sango's kind words, tears rolled down her cheeks. Kagome had not stopped crying in days, her heart ached and she yearned to see InuYasha's face again. But it would never happen again . . . she would never here his voice, or feel his touch . . . It was over.

Her life was over.

Shippo and Kirara had gone to the stream, putting a little candle boat in the water to float away in the current. Shippo had a grim expression on his face, and salty tears raced down his cheeks. Kirara meowed sorrowfully and nuzzled him. He pet her head and clenched his other fist.

"Darn you InuYasha," Kagome heard him whisper, "InuYasha, why did you leave us . . .? Why did you have leave Kagome?"

~Flash!~

Kagome was struck dumb,

'What- What just happened?!'

Kagome's blood ran cold.

'Was that . . . a-another vision?'

She shot a look at InuYasha and Umoniku. She watched the hanyou's stance; he was getting ready to slice through the Wind Scar.

InuYasha's senses heightened, he gripped the hilt of the Tetsusaiga tightly.

Umoniku would not get away. He would pay for kidnapping Kagome . . . for wanting her. Fresh anger rushed through InuYasha's veins; Umoniku would die now!

"DIIIIIEEEEE!!!"

He swung the sword, slicing through the Wind Scar. Yellow bolts of electricity shot across the ground, hesitated a second and then hurtled towards the tiger demon.

'What is this?!'

There was a flash of bright light! So bright, that Kagome had to cover her eyes.

She heard a cry . . . an explosion . . . and . . .
