Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha. But I am happy to announce that KU WON
YESTERDAY!!! It was great! It was the second round of the March Madness
tournament. They are on their way to the national championship! See, it
starts out with 64 teams in the first round, then 32 in the second. We are
now in what's called the 'Sweet Sixteen' since we won against Pacific. On
Friday, we will be playing a team called UAB. I am so excited!
Inu: Sara, just calm down and get to the story. People are waiting.
Yeah, I know. I know. I just wanna say that I am really pissed at myself. I am going to finish this story, even if it kills me, but that's not why I am pissed. I have another fanfic, 'You'll Think Of Me' that I am going to write, although I think I should change it back in to a one shot. I may just end up doing that. But I have thought of another idea for a fanfic and I started working on it this morning after I posted chapter 18 of this story. It was good, but I think it's kinda crappy. Oh well. Enjoy this one, though.
~*~Chapter Nineteen: A Fight to the Finish~*~
"Myoga said I can help you by showing you how I feel," Kagome said, looking into Inu Yasha's eyes. He smiled at her, causing her to become pudding in his grasp.
"Kagome, you did, and I know how you feel. Don't worry. As long as you stay by my side, I will stay me. You did help. By coming here and reassuring me, you brought me back." He kissed her lightly before making a move to get up. Kagome stood, allowing him to stand. They walked, hand in hand, back to camp.
Miroku sat against a tree, half asleep and half awake, waiting for the arrival of Inu Yasha and Kagome. He had been up the whole time, fighting to stay alert. When his droopy eyes caught sight of the two walking from the forest, Miroku sight in relief. He could now fall asleep without feeling guilty. Without hesitation, he fell into darkness; the lovingly calming darkness that had been tempting him.
Kagome walked to her sleeping bag that sat beneath a tree. She pulled it open enough for her to crawl in. Picking up the small bundle of fur, she laid down. The instant she was comfortable, the kitsune curled up by her. Inu Yasha jumped into the tree above her. He sat, back to the bark, watching her as she fell asleep. He heard her mumble before she fell asleep, then he followed the suit.

~~"You never give up, do you?"
"Not when there's hope."
"It's a false hope and you know it, Inu Yasha."
"You're crazy. I am not giving in that easily. No matter what happens."
A chuckle rang through the emptiness. "Remember this, Inu Yasha? Remember how real this felt?"
Through the dark emptiness came a vision. It was Kagome, sprawled on the ground with blood all around her. Motionless, breathless, lifeless, dead. And only one creature towered over her, laughing in the bliss of his kill. Demon had her blood on his claw and he lapped it up, enjoying the metallic copper taste.
"No! Stop!" a human like growl erupted.
"Hehe, Inu Yasha. You can't stop me. It's useless to try. Give up. GIVE IN AND LET ME TAKE OVER!"
Pain. Unremarkable, agonizing pain shot through his body. Inu Yasha wanted out. He didn't want the pain, the memories, the demon. It was all too much in his human form. He ran his hands through his hair, clutching his head in the feeling. He felt as though claws ripped through his entire body, just tearing him to shreds. He felt the hot liquid. The sticky, hot, thick liquid leaked from him. He could taste it in his mouth. Where was this pain coming from?
A burst of light erupted around him, illuminating the scene. He sat, hunched over, on one knee. Skin was ripped from his body, muscle and bone exposed. Blood covered everything around Inu Yasha. His black hair was matted and clumped. His own flesh and blood scattered in his mane. Inu Yasha grasped his side, where his innards threatened to spill. He raised his head.
Demon held his hand out, in it was... 'My heart...' Inu Yasha gasped as Demon slowing added pressure.
"Give in Inu Yasha. Let me take you and let you free."
"No, you bastard," he said through clenched teeth, blood seeping out between them.
"Then you leave me no choice."
In one quick movement, Demon clenched his fist. Inu Yasha screamed his lungs out. Laughter was the last thing Inu Yasha heard. The large muscle in Demon's hand bursting was the last thing he saw.~~
~*~END CHAPTER~*~
Short, ugly, and an evil cliffie. I will promise to update tomorrow with a longer chapter. I just felt like being mean and making you all suffer with a cliffie.
Sesshy: You like making enemies, don't you? Every time you make an evil cliffie, you gain an enemy. And where is Inu Yasha. Wasn't he just here?
* crickets chirp *
* coughs * well, anyway...please tell me if I should just go back and change 'You'll Think Of Me' back into a one shot. I just don't know what to do with it.
