********************Last Chapter

"Run... run away, Inuyasha... otherwise..." She held out her claws again, and she lifted her head. The tears streamed down her face now. But her face showed anger, anger that Naraku had put there. Her body took in a stance to fight again, and she pleaded with him once again. "Run away! Inuyasha!"
"Baka! Do you think I could just leave you here? NO WAY!" He reached out to grab her, and she ran into him.
'INUYASHA!' She had put her clawed hand through his stomach...

********Chapter 6

Inuyasha buried his head into her hair. He then wrapped his arms around Kagome and held on to her. After a moment he pulled his head back and looked into her eyes. She was in a state of shock, and she was obviously shaking. "Kagome... I will never leave you..."
She looked up into his eyes, and withdrew her hand from him. "Inu... yasha..."
Inuyasha pulled her close to him and held her tightly. He could feel Kagome shake in his arms... She didn't hug him back, but he didn't care. He wanted her back to normal.
'Kagome, Kill him...' 'Never.' 'Fine, have it your way then.' Kagome felt a sudden pain and collapsed against Inuyasha... "Inuyasha... I'm...Sorry..." Then everything went black.
Inuyasha held Kagome tightly and kneeled down. "Kagome!? Kagome?"
"She is going to die, Inuyasha."
"WHAT?" Inuyasha looked up to see the baboon skinned Naraku. "What did you do?"
"Well... If I can't have her, then you can't either!"
"Bastard... First you kidnap her, then put her under a spell. Then you try to have her kill me... Now you are killing her! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!" He ran to his sword and pointed it towards Naraku.
"Oh? Are you going to kill me?"
"Damn straight." He then lunged at Naraku with Tetsusaiga and slashed at him. He managed to get the baboon skin off of him.
"This Naraku will not fall for such child's play." He stood now far away from Inuyasha, and transformed into a hideous creature.
"So you are actually going to fight me with all your power today Naraku? Fine by me!" Inuyasha then charged Naraku head on.
"Such foolishness. You are a true idiot." Naraku then morphed back to a man with armor, he had completed his transformation. "Inuyasha, this is my new body! Hit me if you can!" Naraku shot a beam of power towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha merely laughed. He knew what he was going to do... Naraku has never seen his true attack. So he looked for the spot to hit. "There it is.." He aimed and then let lose. "Bakrayuuha!"
"What!?' Naraku's power started to twist in Kaze no Kizu to form the attack, and then his power and Inuyasha came towards him. 'How? How can this happen?!' He glared at Inuyasha as his body was ripped apart.
"Inuyasha, don't think we'll let you get all the credit! Hirakotsu!" Sango's boomerang sliced through Naraku and Inuyasha's attack had finished. Naraku appeared to be dead.
"Just to be sure. KAZANA!" Miroku sucked up the remnants of Naraku. The hole sealed itself as soon as he was entirely in Miroku's Kazana.
"Ah HAHAHA! Thank you, Inuyasha."
"What?!" Inuyasha looked around to see a woman standing in front of Naraku's palace. She had crimson hair that hung freely down to her knees. Her eyes were a demonic shade of green that seemed to pierce to the very soul of a person. She stood with her arms crossed and looked confidently towards Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha... Thank you, you have now removed the reason for me to be in hiding. However, I was never really hiding. Only concealing my true strength."
"Keh! Who the fuck do you think you are?' Inuyasha held his katana in front of him ready to strike.
"Ah yes, I am Youko."
"Youko? Keh!"
Youko walked towards Inuyasha and he started to growl. "Now, now. Is that anyway to be towards me?"
"Why should I care?!"
"You will soon see... or will I have to take Kagome away from you?"
Inuyasha realized that Kagome was still out and was an easy target. "You even come close to her... AND I'LL FUCKIN' KILL YOU!"
"Oh my, so scary a face really doesn't suit you Inuyasha. My time is up for today." A fog started to roll in around her and Inuyasha took a couple steps back towards Kagome. "I will see you again. Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha watched Youko disappear into the fog. He then ran towards Kagome and picked her up into his arms. "Kagome? Kagome?" Inuyasha then had to put Kagome down again... he was badly injured and he couldn't lift her any more. His blood slowly ran down his arms and started to form a pool of blood where they were closest to the ground.
"Inuyasha, we should get you and Kagome-chan back to the village."
"Ah... Sango..." Inuyasha looked up towards her and his vision was becoming more and more blurry. 'Shit... I've lost too much blood.'
"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked towards Miroku. "Can you carry Kagome- sama?"
Inuyasha looked down at the ground, then at Kagome. "No..."
"EH?"
"I've... become..." Inuyasha was slowly losing his strength, he began to sway as he lost the ability to stay kneeling. 'Kagome... sorry, but I can't carry you... I ...' Inuyasha collapsed right beside Kagome.
"INUYASHA?!"

Later on, Inuyasha awoke to find himself back in the village. He was still in his bloody haori, so he figured that he must not have been out for too long. He tried to stand but found that his strength had not yet returned. He looked around the small hut to see Kagome lying right next to him. Her clothes still covered in his blood, her hands and claws still stained with his blood. She hadn't awaked yet. Her breathing was slow, and she still looked to be in pain.
"Inu...yasha..."
Kagome spoke his name softly, and had watched her say it. He rolled over so that he was closer to her and reached for her hand. "Kagome... I'm right here." He held on to her hand tightly and watched as he face began to show less and less pain. 'Her face is covered with tearstains. She didn't want me to die, she didn't want to do it. She suffered, and what I went through was nothing compared to hers. All I did was watch her go through it. All I could do was call out her name, time and time again.' Inuyasha took his free hand and brushed aside the bangs that had fallen onto her face. "Never hide your face from me again."
