Disclaimer: * reads through all other disclaimers and sighs heavily * Nothing's changed... how sad... Alright, I have decided that Kagome's attire, besides her school uniform, will be chosen by me and what I think is comfortable. I am not big on the designer clothes that are $200 dollars. I am simple, so that is the way Kagome's gonna be. If ya don't like it, then you can imagine she's wearing something else. Otherwise, tough cookies.

~*~Chapter Seven: The Dream That May Come True~*~

~~He sat there with her, in her bed. She was in his arms and their black hair mixed together. She chuckled softly and reached for his hand, removing it from her side. He pouted, but brought the other, tickling her. She fell out of his lap, howling in laughter, and landed softly on the floor. He climbed on top of her, resting between her legs, and continued his attack. Tears came to her eyes as his tickling spree went on. Inu Yasha laughed evilly and paused a moment.

"I have found your weakness, Kagome," he said playfully.

"Indeed you have, now all I need is yours when you aren't in your hanyou form. Cause your ears are your weakness."

"What do you mean? I have no weaknesses!" he said proudly. But, as all good things must come to an end, so did this.

The wind became cold, even in Kagome's room. Shivers ran down his spine and Kagome watched him with worry. He looked in her eyes, hoping to draw warmth from them

"No weaknesses? You're such a bad liar, Inu Yasha," the voice came like a plague. It made the air stale, and in turn, it became more difficult to breathe. Gasping for air, Inu Yasha climbed off Kagome and turned to the bed where the voice was coming from. There, sitting all too comfortably, was he in his demon form. The green eyes watched the two humans.

"Your weakness, Inu Yasha, is standing behind you. You claim she is your heart, and that is your down fall," Kagome stood behind Inu Yasha and was getting scared. The Demon stood too, his hair billowing wildly around him. His long fangs sat over his bottom lip as he smirked. "My only want, is to finally be released, and there is only one way to do that," Demon popped his knuckles, the sound echoing off the walls. "And I think I shall do it now."

In a flash, he was behind her, his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. She gasped. His sharp claws dug into her shirt, cutting through like the cloth was nothing. Pain swept over her and she screamed. Demon's claws had pierced her skin entirely, leaving her right side open and bleeding. Inu Yasha ran to them, hoping to get Demon to let go of his love. His charge had the opposite effect he wanted. Demon simply laughed.

"You forget, I am part of you, which enables me to read your thoughts," he dug his claw deeper into the young girl's flesh. "And I have no pity for humans." With that, Kagome fell to the ground, bathed in her own blood that was pouring non-stop out of her. Inu Yasha approached he and kneeled beside her, holding her head in his hands.

Her eyes were so lifeless. So much love and happiness had once inhabited them, but it was all gone; void of all emotion. There was nothing left. Her hair was in her blood; her hair was in his hands. He caressed her face with his fingers, leaving streaks of thick red fluid on her cheeks. She was dead. Inu Yasha looked up at Demon. His eyes, still cold, now held anticipation. 'He has tasted hurt, and now he is angry,' he smiled. 'He won't last long without her.'

Inu Yasha was overloaded with pain. His eyes flashed blood red. Yes, he was in his human form, but this was too much and his demon powers were flooding him. But, for the simple fact that he was human, gave his appearance something different, almost dead-like. His skin went pale and his eyes went red. His cheeks became thinner, making it look as though he hadn't eaten in a long time. Inu Yasha's hair thinned and went a dark gray. His hands began to bleed as his claws extracted. He pierced the air with a scream; a scream of pain, sorrow, and...happiness. Yes, happiness. The joy was incredible. Demon was happy for killing and his emotions were transferred to Inu Yasha when his powers returned.

"You will never be the same, Inu Yasha," Demon said, walking around the human-turned-demon panting heavily. "Now that you know you can overcome your weakness with one death, you will always be tempted to take her life. And when you finally do give in, you will be proud of yourself. Just kill her, Inu Yasha, and you will finally be rid of your weakness."~~ (I decided to call Inu Yasha's demon side Demon cause I didn't wanna sit there and type out 'Inu Yasha's demon side' over and over again.)

Kagome woke up early. She opened her eyes to be met with a familiar red cloth. She smiled to herself and lifted her head. 'If I am not careful,' she thought as she looked at his face, 'I'll wake him up by tying to get out of bed.' When she saw his face, she found it hard to breathe. He was smiling. The morning sun beat on his hanyou face and made him look god- like. His silver hair shone like a halo. His beauty took her breath away. She carefully wiggled out of his grasp and went to her dresser. Kagome pulled out a pair of baggy black (guy) jeans and slipped them on. On her desk was a pair of chopsticks, so she picked them up and put her hair up with them, leaving strands loose to frame her face. Turning towards her bed, she ran her hands on her wife beater to get the wrinkles out.

She looked at him, seeing that he was still asleep. 'Jeeze, he must really be in a deep sleep to not know I woke up.' She then started packing a small plastic bag for her trip back, since she had accidentally left her yellow one in the Sengoku-jidai era. Kagome walked to her closet to find clothes and, in the process, managed to make a pile next to the bed. Placing her chosen outfits in the bag, she headed downstairs to get a drink.

Making her way back into her room, Kagome sipped on her fruit punch. She giggled with happiness as the taste slid down her throat. While Kagome was down stairs, Buyo had snuck through her door and chose now to reveal himself. With a soft 'mew,' he tripped Kagome, and in the process, spilled her drink all over the pile of clothes. Under her breath, she muttered curses that she had learned from none other then Inu Yasha. Sighing heavily, and not noticing the pained look on the sleeping Hanyou's face, she walked angrily down the steps to get cleaning supplies. (Can anyone see where I am heading with the whole scene? If so, tell me what you think!)

"Does ye know what would happen if he doesn't come to terms with his feelings?" Keade asked trying to get her story straight. Miroku and Sango had returned to the village, and had informed Keade of the battle, and the departure of Inu Yasha to Kagome's time. They had told her bits of what Myoga had told them about Inu Yasha and his human heart.

"Hai, his human heart would be devoured by his demon powers and hatred, leaving him to die because he wouldn't be able to handle the powers in his hanyou body. I can't help but feel that, even with Kagome's love, he may turn on us all. I have this hunch that something may push him over the edge, causing something to, I don't know, snap in him, as Kagome would put it. Maybe it's just my imagination." Miroku sat back, leaning on the wall. He was worried for his hanyou friend. What if they DID lose him? What would happen then? Would he attack them all, killing them without a sign of remorse? Or, would he be all right with Kagome's love?

One thing he knew was certain. If he didn't want to chance pushing him over the edge, they had to be careful with what happens in their adventures. He needed to make sure Tetsusaiga was with Inu Yasha at all times, sealing the demonic blood as best as it could. Sango watched the houshi as he closed his eyes and sat in deep thought. Hers were along the same lines, but as much as she cared for the well being of Inu Yasha, she was worried for Kagome. If the hanyou did turn full demon, then Kagome would try, just like always, to bring him back. But sooner or later, the spell would cease to bring the old Inu Yasha back. Then what would happen?

She tried to suppress the thoughts by asking Keade to teach her herbs. Sango felt that she needed to learn them, and now was as good a time as any to. So, the taijiya and elder miko exited the hut, leaving a houshi in deep thought, a running kitsune, and a fire-cat demon playing tag.

~*~

Inu Yasha woke with a jerk at hearing Demon's last words. He was sure it was a dream, but it didn't feel like a dream. Kagome had died in his last dream, so this one was a dream too, right? He put his hand on his forehead and proceeded to run his fingers through his hair. He couldn't get the sight of Kagome out of his mind. Speaking of which, where was she?

~*~End Chapter~*~

Oh, ok. I am not updating until I actually get a review!!! As far as my review page goes as of right now, I haven't gotten a review, not even a flame, since chapter TWO!!! And what chapter is this?? SEVEN!!! So, I have left you with a semi cliffie, and a warning to review or there will be no more 'The Demonic Side.' Take heed my warning...

Inu: So, that's it? You aren't going to write on this anymore? That kinda sucks with this kinda ending.

Well, I will continue to write it, I just won't post. I mean, why bother putting it up for people to read when no one bothers to review and tell me what I did right or wrong? So, I will write them, save them, and read/send them to my friends. But, if any readers out there want me to finish it, then I suggest reviews, and lots of 'em, at least one for every chapter. Then, I will post chapters.

Inu & Sesshy: ooooooo...kkkkkk...

Oh, be quiet and finish watching the 'Inu Yasha' tape. * both turn back to the TV eating popcorn *
