A man jumped silently jumped down from some trees, and slowly walked into the clearing where Inu-Yasha and Kagome were.

The man was wearing a blue traditional kimono, and had hair to the middle of his back and carried a sword on his left side.

"Kagome, you have disobeyed me..." He put out his hand, and then balled it into a fist. At that moment, Kagome dropped to the ground, not moving at all.

"Kagome?!" Inu-Yasha said while running over.

"Don't pay any more attention to her, boy. Your battle is with me now." The man with the deep voice said.

"Who the hell are you, and what have you done to Kagome?!" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"Forgive me, my name is Kura. All I have done was simply make that girl pass out, no big deal."

"What do you want with us? Let me guess, for the jewel shards right?" Inu- Yasha asked in a angry voice.

"Not at all, I have no need for the Shikon no Tama...I am plenty strong enough, I just get a kick out of using people as my puppets." Kura said laughing. "I have heard many story's about you, Inu-Yasha, so I wanted to see if the story's about you were true...a mere half demon that had the power of a full blooded demon...I had to see if this was true."

By then, Inu-Yasha was furious. He took out his tetsuaiga and started to run towards Kura.

"You conceded bastard!!!" Inu-Yasha yelled.

"I have made you mad, have I?" Kura smirked.

Inu-Yasha ran up to him, and swung at Kura with his fully transformed tetsuaiga. Kura dodged the blow in a matter of seconds. 'Damn...he's fast, too fast..." Inu-Yasha thought to himself.

"Having trouble Inu-Yasha? I would have expected more from you from what I have herd."

"Shut the hell up! Stop thinking of what you have heard, and start thinking about what's here in front of you!" Inu-Yasha yelled while striking at Kura.

"Is that all you can do?" Kura teased. He likes to say things like this to Inu-Yasha, fore he gets really worked up about the things he says.

Meanwhile, Kagome was just waking up, still with eyes of steel. Kagome sat on her legs, and slowly picked up one of her arrows that were next to her. She took it and turned it so that the arrowhead was facing her. Without hesitation, she stabbed her left side. Tears started to stream down her face, but she still continued to stab her side with her arrow. There was blood all over her clothes, and all over the ground. She stabbed herself another time, and after that, she had stopped, fore what she had started to stab herself in was gone. Her eyes had turned back into the normal chocolate colored eyes, and she seemed to be in full control of her body now. She looked over, and saw what had been controlling her, a shard of glass which Kura had put a spell that would enable him to control her. He had shot it into her earlier that day.

Kagome got up with her bow in her left hand, and arrow in the right. She readied them for fire, and at that moment fired the arrow at Kura.

'Die..." she quietly said

The arrow flew through the air, and hit Kura in the heart. He could not dodge the arrow because it was too fast, and it was unexpected.

Inu-Yasha saw the arrow hit Kura, and quickly turned around and saw Kagome there, with blood all over her side, her hands and rolling down her leg. Kura's body dissolved, and the battle was over.

"Kagome?! What did you do to yourself?!" She ignored what he had asked and looked down at the shard and quickly stepped on it, which crushed it. At that moment Inu-Yasha understood what she had done, and didn't talk at all.

Authors notes: Hi everyone! Thanks for the reviews! Anyways, sorry, I didn't realize that there was something similar to this story in volume 20. The fanfiction reminded me of the first movie a little, so I tried as hard as I could to make it as different from the first movie but staying true to my original idea. [cough] I may have gone a little over board with the blood thing with Kagome...=P
