^_^ ~ILuvInuyasha~

... the blob demon Kinzu!

"Get off of me!!!" shouted Inuyasha as he tried to

push Kinzu off of him.

But, Inuyasha's hands just got stuck in the gooey
mess.

'What is this?' he thought and groaned. 'My
hands are burning!!'

"I forgot to tell you Inuyasha," Kinzu said and

cackled. "I have the ability to change my
appearance, hide my scent and I am entirely made
up of acid!"

"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled and ran toward him.
"Hirakostu!" shouted Sango and threw her

weapon at Kinzu.

The demon split in half and
part of his acid was dissolving Sango's weapon.

"What is that thing?!" cried Shippo and jumped

off of Kirara, who growled.

Inuyasha screamed and Miroku thought desperately
what to do.

"Go jump in the lake!" suggested Shippo and

pointed at it. "That might just do it." pondered

Miroku.
"I can't hold him off much longer!"

shouted Sango as she tried to dodge the acid

balls that Kinzu, who reassembled himself,

were hurtling.

The acid was getting into

Inuyasha's blood and he could feel himself

slipping away into the darkness.

"He can't fall unconscious or he will eventually die!"
Miroku said and tried to scrape off some acid from

Inuyasha's chest.
'Think, Shippo. Think!"

Shippo thought and got an idea.

~Inuyasha's P.O.V. ~

"Inuyasha. Inuyasha." Kagome called.

The vision of Kagome came into Inuyasha's mind as

Kagome went on, "Inuyasha, please don't leave

me. Be strong and fight this! Miroku and I will

try to help you, but please hold on." "Ok-ay."

he whispered and opened his eyes.
~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~~*~*~~*

~*~ "Wow ,Shippo." Miroku said and applauded.

"That was a really good impression of Kagome."

"Thanks." Shippo replied and transformed to

his normal self with a poof! "Let's try rolling

him." said Miroku, but that didn't work out as

planned as Inuyasha groaned louder. "Uh... Oh!

Shippo can you turn into something that can

carry water?" asked Miroku. "Like this?" said

Shippo and transformed into a jug. "Good."Miroku
said and raced to the lake.

Just as Kagome had done earlier in the morning,

Miroku filled the water jug to its fullest.

Getting back to Inuyasha, Miroku poured the

water onto Inuyasha and as the water collided

with the acid, he placed a spirit ward on the

water/acid and shouted,

"Evil uh.. gooey...uh...stuff..um ....begone!"

The acid/water disappeared as Miroku sighed and
muttered,

"That was a good spell alright."

"Gooey stuff?!" Shippo laughed and tossed around in
the grass.

"Shut up!" said Miroku and bonked Shippo on

the head. "Ow!" Shippo sobbed and held his

head. "Where's Kag-ome?" Inuyasha said and

tried to get up. "Inuyasha you're awake."

Miroku said. "You shouldn't try to get up."

"Don't tell me what to do!" he growled.

"Where's Kagome?" he said again. "We haven't

found her yet." Shippo said as tears started to

swell up in his eyes. "We'll find her." reassured

Inuyasha and pulled out Tetsugaia. "A little

help here." said Sango as Kirara bit Kinzu and

tore him apart. "You think that can stop me?"

he asked and just gathered himself up,

preparing for another blow.
Inuyasha could see the two winds combined and
shouted, "Die!"

Just in the nick of time Kirara and Sango

jumped out of the path of the Wind Scar.

"Aah!" Kinzu screamed. "Sister, help me!"

Kagura then jumped out of the trees and just

merely watched and Kinzu disintegrated into

nothing.

"Kagura!" snarled Inuyasha and asked,

"What have you done with Kagome?" "I

wouldn't know." she said coolly and grinned.

"What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha

retorted, getting impatient. "I mean that your

human is somewhere I wouldn't know. But, I

think those soul collectors would." she said and

pointed out to the dark sky.

Even though it was still morning, the sky had turned
pitch black, blocking the warm rays of the Sun, and

leaving Inuyasha with an uneasy feeling.

"Let's go!" Sango panted and got on Kirara. "Wait!"

Kagura commanded and opened her fan. "Do

you think you'd get away that easily? I can't let

you leave without giving me all the jewel

shards you possess." Inuyasha thought and

yelled to Sango, "Hey Sango! Go ahead and find

Kagome and Miroku and I will catch up with

you!"

Sango nodded in agreement and Kirara

was about to fly off when Kagura said,

"Kohaku!" "What? Kohaku?" said Sango and

looked around.

From out of nowhere, Kohaku

attacked Sango. Sango was thrown off Kirara and
was pinned to the ground by Kohaku.

"Kill her, Kohaku!" yelled

Kagura. "Goodbye, Sango." he whispered and

plunged his demon-slayer weapon at Sango's

heart. "Kohaku, don't!" Miroku yelled and threw

his staff at Kohaku's hand.

But it was too late and Kohaku fell on top of Sango.
It was the other way around; Kohaku remembered
his memories and knew what he had to do. He

didn't want to hurt her anymore, but he didn't

know that taking his life was what would hurt

her the most.

"What a foolish boy." Kagura

sighed and waved her hand. "Go get the jewel

shard, poisonous insects."

Immediately, the sky filled with Naraku's poisonous

insects and lunged toward Sango and Kohaku. "Ko-
haku." sobbed Sango and she hugged him tightly.

"What have you done?" "Sango watch out!"

shouted Miroku and fought off some insects.

Turning his attention toward the smiling

Kagura, Inuyasha gritted his teeth. "Why you!"

"What are you going to do, Inuyasha?" she

asked and opened her fan once more. "The one

you love so dearly is nowhere to be found and

if you did find her after you finished me off,

which is highly unlikely. Do you think she will

be alive?" "Stop yapping already so I can kill

ya!!" Inuyasha interrupted and ran towards

Kagura, swinging his Tetsugaia like it was

merely as light as a feather.
'How can he be so damn fast? His sword is still not
light enough.'

Kagura thought and barely missed the tip of

his sword.
"Die!" Inuyasha shouted and slashed

his sword through the Wind Scar. "I'll pass."

she said and turned around.
Out of the midst, Kanna appeared and held

out here mirror. The Wind Scar reflected off

her mirror and went straight back to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha could have jumped away if he wanted

to, but the acid in his blood made him feel

weak and he clutched his stomach.
'Could this be the end?' he thought. A flash
appeared before his eyes and a picture of Kagome
came into his mind. 'Kagome, where are you, my
love?'

~~~~~~The Sacred Tree~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome screamed as tears

rolled down her eyes as she watched the scene

in a mystical ball. "Oh, don't worry Kagome,"

Kikyo said and picked up her bow and arrows.

"Inuyasha isn't dead..... yet." "Why are you

doing this?" Kagome asked and struggled

against the grip of the soul collectors that

tied her to the tree. "You'll find out soon, my

little reincarnation." With that she left

Kagome and flew w/her soul collectors, to the

battlefield. ```````The Battlefield````````` Inuyasha opened his eyes and looked around,

to find out where he was. Miroku, Sango,

Kirara and Kohaku seemed to be asleep. But

Inuyasha knew the only one dead was Kohaku.

'Poor Sango.' he thought as he smelt the air, he
could smell Sango's salty tears.

He could barely move and none of his foes were

seen. Then, lights appeared in the sky and Kikyo

ascended from her soul collectors.

"Why, if it isn't Inuyasha." she said and grinned.

"Where is Kagome, Kikyo?" he asked and watched
her every movement. "Kagome! That's all I ever

hear about nowadays. Don't you see Inuyasha?

Kagome is just a reincarnation of me and she

may have some of my qualities, but not all of

them. Those other qualities are what make me,

me. So what if I'm in the past and Kagome's

now. Can't you push her aside and make me

your present?"

One part of him knew he had

that answered some time ago, to die with

Kikyo, but the other part could not simply

erase Kagome from his memory. He

remembered the first time he met Kagome

and the first time he knew he cared for her.

Yes, he remembered that so fondly.
