Chapter 8: The Transformation

"Inuyasha, stop this!" Sango yells to him. Just then, Inuyasha lunges towards her. Miroku gets up and quickly tosses her Hiraikotsu. Sango blocks him with her enormous weapon. As they start to battle, Kagome is still on her knees, crying, but now, she is trying to think of a way to help Inuyasha. It just hit her, she remembers the first time he turned full youkai, she knows now, how to help him. She struggles up, and starts to limps towards the fight between Sango and Inuyasha. "Kagome, what are you doing, stop." Miroku calls out to her. Kagome just says, "Don't worry Miroku, I know what I'm doing, just stay back." "Uh..." Miroku has no idea what she is doing, but he obeys, and just sits back, also holding Shippou and Kaeda back.

Sango knocks Inuyasha against a tree, "Kagome, stay back, he will kill you, you know what happened last time!" "You don't worry either, Sango, let me take it from here." "Kagome, what are you talking about, there is nothing that you can do!" Just then, Inuyasha gets up from against the tree and charges at the limping Kagome. He grabs her with one hand by the arm. Now, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaeda are getting very worried, "She must have lost it, she will get killed," Shippou says. Sango runs over to the others, "No, she knows what she is doing, don't you remember last time?" Miroku thinks back, "Ahh, she is going to...." Before he could finish, Shippou jumps off of him, towards Kagome, but Miroku grabs him again, pulling him back.

Inuyasha lifts his other hand to Kagome's throat. "Inuyasha, I know you can't understand me, but I love you..." Kagome says. Inuyasha eyes flicker back and forth from red to amber, but he is still wants to kill her. But before Inuyasha could do anything, Kagome lunges at him, his claws nearly missing her throat, and kisses him. Inuyasha, then lowers both his hands, letting Kagome go. His eyes turn to amber, he is turning into a hanyou again. As his strips of purple disappear, Kagome backs away, reaches into her pocket. Just then, a hand is placed on hers. She looks up and it is the Inuyasha, in his hanyou form. "Kagome what happened?" "Inuyasha, you turned to full youkai, and well..." Inuyasha reaches above his head and feels the two little dog ears, "AHH! I am back to a hanyou, what happened, why?!!!" "Inuyasha, calm down. Don't worry, we can change you back." Kagome says as she pulls out the jewel. Inuyasha has a huge sigh of relief.

Miroku, Sango, Kaeda and Shippou comes towards them. "Inuyasha, your back!" Shippou yells to him, as he jumps on his shoulder. "But I am a hanyou, and if I stay like this, then I won't be able to go back with Kagome." Inuyasha says with a sigh. With a smile on her face, Kagome replies, "So you do want to come back with me, and you do want to turn back into a human?" "Of course Kagome, why won't I, I lo.....there is nothing left for me here, so I go to your time." Inuyasha responds. A vein pops out of Kagome's head, her face turns boiling red. The others steps away from Inuyasha, and Shippou jumps off of his shoulder to the ground. "Inuyasha, Osuwari!" Inuyasha tries to say something, but goes down, face first into the ground. Inuyasha quickly gets up, "Kagome, I was trying to say that I....I want to turn back to human now." Kagome, still flustered, "Okay, Inuyasha, are you sure that is what you want?" she pushes on him. "Yeah," is all that Inuyasha could say.

Kagome takes the jewel in her hands and holds it up to Inuyasha's heart, "I wish Inuyasha could become a human." she says. Just then, there is another burst of light. Everyone looks away for it is so bright. When the light dims, the human Inuyasha stands tall. Kagome runs up and hugs him. Inuyasha blushes, "Okay...I'm alright Kagome, nothing to worry about." Kagome takes the hint and backs off. "Where is Naraku, we have to find him." Inuyasha just bursts out. "We have no idea, without your keen senses, we won't be able to find him fast." Miroku says. Sango looks to Shippou, "Shippou, can you sense anything, anything at all?" Shippou concentrates, "Yeah, I can sense him, but just barely. He is this way." Shippou points towards some mountains. "Then we have to go there, Naraku, you bastard, you will pay!" Inuyasha says sternly. "Shippou, why don't you lead and all of us will follow." Miroku insists, "Kaeda, will you be joining us?" "Ney, I will be staying behind, there is still work to be done here." Kaeda replies. "Okay, so we follow Shippou and find Naraku and destroy him, again." Kagome sums it all up. "Yep, so go ahead Shippou, we'll follow you." Inuyasha pushes him along. "Alright, jeeze, I'll go." Shippou says.
