Kagome wobbled her way back to the hut, her foot was still bleeding, and her hand, which was cupped within her sweatshirt sleeve, stung awefully. She was still a ways from the hut, when somewhere in the forest, a deep, feral growl sounded. Kagome stopped and stared at the trees around her. If some type of animal was here, she should be able to see the eyes reflecting off the moon or the fires from town. Nothing glowed in the darkness though, so she plodded on. The growl sounded once more, and Kagome sped up her walk, even though it pained her foot to do so. She broke into a run, tripped over a root, and smashed into the ground. Her foot had sustained a new cut now, and her shin was bruised. The growl sounded once more, louder, clearer now. A shadow came towards her, moving menacingly. Kagome squealed and shut her eyes.

"NO, please, don't hurt me" she tried to move, but her leg that had been forced to run with about half the blood left in it, refused to move. Then, the "monster" took another step, and the light reflected against his hair.

His... Silver hair...

"I... Inuyasha?" Kagome breathed. Why was he so... feral looking?

"Blood. NEED"

"Oh, did you cut yourself too?"

~ God, Kagome, THINK about this~ came a little voice inside Feral Inuyasha's head.

"cause I have some bandaids in my pack, and why are your eyes re... Oh my gosh, you're in your demon form!?" Kagome tried to stand up again, but failed once more. Inuyasha placed his arms on either side of her head, as if to trap her, then placed each knee on either side of her knees.

"BLOOD. NEED" He lowered his head to her neck, he could smell the blood, the fear inside her was making it stronger. He could even hear her heart beat. It had been so long since he had tasted fresh HUMAN blood. So, so, long...

~ NO, not Kagome, Don't. Don't hurt her, Not Kagome~ (that's the little voice inside Inuyasha's head)

Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and licked the blood off of it.

IT was warm, not like the Mediae's blood. So warm, it flowed over your tongue like ambrosia.

~Don't.. You CAN't hurt her... STOP~ Inuyasha bent his head to Kagome's neck.

"Inuyasha... Stop... please.." She wimpered. "don't do this. you don't want to do th-" Inuyasha cut her off by pressing his lips onto hers. Kagome was startled. WAs he KISSING HER? However, her question was answered when his fangs sank into her lips. She attempted to cry out for Nikita, but Inuyasha would not allow it.

~ NOT KAGOME. NO. NO, I WON'T DO THIS. STOP STOP STOP PLEASE STOP SOMEBODY HELP HER!!!~

"STOP" Inuyasha cried and yanked his fangs from Kagome's lips. They dripped blood on Kagome's upper cheek, and on her nose. Kagome was breathing heavily, her eyes were so full of fear that Inuyasha wanted nothing but to Comfort her.

always.

~When did we get here? When could I do for Kagome, what I could never do fo Kikyo? I never pulled away when I... drank from her. But, Kagome... She... changes me. She's my belonging place, I could NEVER hurt her.

Never.~

Inuyasha Pulled back and sat up, then, he tried to help Kagome up, but when he touched her, she tensed, so he let go.

"Kagome... I'm So-"

"No."

"Wha?"

"No apologies. I'm sure you would have stopped for anyone. Not just me." She stood up with a great deal of effort "you've never loved me."

Inuyasha looked at her as she turned away from him, her face was dripping tears of blood...

Don't walk away.

I don't want you to go now

We're so close

To perfection

Just... stay

Do what you always

do when you're angry

Yell, Scream, break something

Just, don't say I don't love you.

Just stay.

end sceen.
