Try saying this ten times fast (it's not that hard)- "Spiffy Soupy is spiffier than soupy Spoofy". ^_^ I was bored yesterday... Oh! I actually got non-bad comments on my paper in Creative Writing! It was supposed to be one of our memories (like going to Disney World or something), but I... well, I figured that how could she [the teacher] tell whether it happened or not? So, I wrote my paper on "Winning the National Eating Contest" ^_^. Here's a quote from it: "... taco-filled freedom..." ^_~. Thanks for the reviews! Keep them up, please! Oh, sorry, I didn't notice that I kinda left you with a cliffhanger last time... On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha... Well, maybe I could say that I do in my Creative Writing papers... How would she know? ^_^

His blue eyes widening in fear as Aku-henkan's dagger shot towards at him, Miroku froze in place in utter shock. Luckily (yet unluckily at the same time) for him, Inu-Yasha's eyes stopped pulsing from crimson to gold; once Aku-henkan had had sent his dagger at Miroku, Inu-Yasha had suffered from so much pain and loss of blood that he could no longer keep control of his body, dropping his Tetsusaiga, his eyes changing blood-red with light blue slits in the middle, a sign that his demonic blood in him took over. Inu- Yasha darted out in front of Aku-henkan, about to rip him to shreds with his claws, but the dagger headed for the pusillanimous (fearful) monk instead installed another wound in Inu-Yasha's chest, although Inu-Yasha did not seem to notice or care.

Miroku fainted in shock, feeling that his life may have been saved, but whether Inu-Yasha would slaughter Miroku and the others after Aku-henkan scared the monk just as much; he knew that Inu-Yasha fights to the death, either until he kills his opponent or his own body is destroyed in the battle, and that Inu-Yasha had killed humans before, craving more and more bloodshed.

"Miroku!" Kaede, Myouga, and Shippou cried out as the monk fell to the floor, unconscious.

Shippou hopped off of Kirara, shaking Miroku, hoping that he'd wake up, but he remained unconscious.

Aku-henkan himself nearly died of shock after witnessing this mangy half- breed Transform before his eyes into a full-fledged demon.

"The blood that runs in your veins... it's... demonic now!?" Aku-henkan gasped in disbelief, then returned to his former equanimity and commented, "That doesn't matter... If anything, this should prove to be an even more interesting battle."

Lost in his own subconscious, Miroku thought, 'Kuso... Inu-Yasha turned full demon and if he battles Aku-henkan, he might die, seeing that he's already lost so much blood and is so wounded... I... I can't let him fight...'

Miroku strained himself to return to consciousness, and then jumped swiftly to his feet, wrapping his hands around the rosary beads that clung on his right arm, ready to pull them off if Inu-Yasha would get out of the way so he could suck AKu-henkan into his void.

"Inu-Yasha, move out of the way!" Miroku shouted, hoping that his friend might do so.

Inu-Yasha didn't quite move out of the way, but by now he was at least on the opposite site of Aku-henkan, and if Miroku was quick enough, he might just have been able to suck Aku-henkan in and shut the wind tunnel quickly enough to not suck in his friend; Miroku was a bit wary about this, but decided that maybe this was his only choice, so just as Aku-henkan attempted to throw his dagger at the monk once again, Miroku pulled off the rosary beads, using his left hand to brace his right arm.

Out of seemingly nowhere, Naraku's venomous wasps (saimyosho) swarmed Miroku, buzzing as they flew into the void. Miroku winced after taking in too many of the poisonous insects, and then he put rewrapped the rosary beads around his right hand, but at least he was able to suck in Aku- henkan's dagger before falling to the hard ground beside Sango, barely holding onto his consciousness.

"Miroku, are you alright?!" Shippou screamed at the monk, grabbing him by his monk attire, shaking him up and down in hopes of a reply.

The monk winced as pain shot throughout his body, though Miroku replied with a light laugh, "I'd be better of you weren't shaking me senseless..."

Shippou abruptly stopped his "assult" on the monk and gave him a weak smile, knowing that he was only saying that.

Kaede, though, was still staring in shock of Inu-Yasha's new look, for she had never seen him transform into a full demon before, only heard about it.

"He'll be fine if he can regain possession of his sword..." Myouga informed Kaede, who nodded still with a very worried expression plastered on her face.

Light-footedly, Inu-Yasha jumped into the air and came down hard on Aku- henkan with his sharp, piercing claws shredding Aku-henkan apart. As his blood splattered everywhere, Aku-henkan's life ended. Inu-Yasha landed gracefully and it almost seemed like the whole scene was in slow motion. Inu-Yasha smirked with an evil laugh, licking the blood that adorned his hands, and then he approached his companions with the evil glint and intent to kill still reflecting in his eyes.

Kagome had, when Aku-henkan (in Inu-Yasha's form), not fallen into the river, but was able to grab part of the cliff that stuck out from the side and hold onto that. She winced as her fingertips bled when her fingernails snapped off as she pulled herself up the cliff, slowly climbing up the cliff and eventually overcoming the cliff after hauling herself all the way up and lying down near a tree, watching the battle unfold. She didn't get to witness the real Inu-Yasha use Kaze no Kizu on Aku-henkan, making him turn into his true form, so as far as Kagome knows, the battle that she watched was between the Inu-Yasha (the evil guy with jewel shards who pushed her off the cliff to the dangerous river) and some random demon.

She wasn't exactly sure what had happened, but she did know that now that Inu-Yasha was in his full demon state and intending to kill her friends, she had to put a stop to it. Kagome used the tree to lift herself up and she called at Inu-Yasha with hurt and anger in her voice, "INU-YASHA!" The demon turned to look at his new prey, but before he could lay a hand on any of them, she growled with such intensity that it is surprising that he (even if he weren't wounded already), "SIT!!!! SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!!!!!!!!!"

Inu-Yasha's rosary beads glowed a blindingly bright color before his face smashed into the ground, followed by a loooong string of Inu-Yasha's choice words.

He lifted his face out of the ground with much effort about 30 seconds later (wow... that held him for a while), during this time, Kagome made her way to where the jewel shards remained where Aku-henkan had been annihilated and held them up to look at them better before closing her hand upon them and letting her bloody hand rest at her side.

"What'd you do that for?!" Inu-Yasha barked at the miko, an automatic response after being sat.

Looking around himself, noticing the unconscious and badly wounded Sango and Miroku, he realized that perhaps something bad had happened... He didn't remember a thing after being hit by the first of Aku-henkan's daggers, but he was so relaxed to see that Aku-henkan hadn't really killed Kagome, though she did look pretty beat-up...

Tears filled in Kagome's eyes, as her facial expression turned from that of anger to remorse.

Kagome didn't know what to do; she didn't understand why Inu-Yasha, the hanyou whom she had only gotten to know and love in a few days, would attempt to murder her. She had thought of him as her partner, not her enemy, but then (as far as she knew) he whipped out Tetsusaiga and backed her into the river. ...Why? Why would he do that? Kagome was so confused; the only thing she could do was allow burning tears sting her face as they flowed.

"Inu-Yasha... why...?" Kagome was able to spit out.

Inu-Yasha's expression turned to a guilty, worried, and confused one as he reached out and walked slowly towards her, "Kagome... what happened? Did I...?"

Inu-Yasha didn't dare let the thought in his mind pass through his lips; he didn't even want to think that he would harm Kagome like this...

That's the end of the chapter! This was one of my longest chapters for this fanfic, so please review! These Japanese foreign exchange students came to my school today and after they talked, we got to ask questions, so my friend made me raise my hand and ask a question in Japanese, so I said "anime ga daisuki desu ka?" (it means do you really like anime?), but the class was all chattering after I spoke Japan, in shock that someone was speaking Japanese who wasn't Japanese, so they didn't hear me and I had to ask again, but they interpreted anime as cartoons, so one of them answered "Bugs Bunny" lol, and I asked if they've heard of Inu-Yasha and one of them said "daisuki desu!" (I really like it!). Then they asked me which I like, and I told them that I like Inu-Yasha, Fruits Basket, and Fushigi Yuugi. It was so special! But I was upset later, because I had so much stuff to ask them, tell them, and talk with them about, but that's all I got to say before they left *sobs*.

Responses to reviews-

Eternal Serena- There are several ways to say "transformation" "henkan" and "henshin" are both ways, but I chose "henkan"; I'm not sure why though... You have an Asian Civilization class?! That's so cool! There are actually more like 8000 kanji, but I only know 170 at the moment... But that's better that in Chinese, there are more like 25,000 kanji! I already learned the Hiragana and Katakana; they're really easy to learn especially compared to kanji lol. Thanks for reviewing!

funmaker- Anou... *laughs weakly* well, "aku" isn't in "Naraku" when you write it in Japanese... They not only have different kanji, but when you write them in Hiragana (Japanese alphabet) "Aku" would use the two "a" then "ku", but "Naraku" would use "na" "ra" and "ku". Sorry if that didn't make any sense... Did you know that you can play an Inu-Yasha game on adultswim.com? Apparently, it's really fun. Thanks for reviewing!

Gothic Youkai666- I liked "Mad World" and the new chapter of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Inuyasha Style"! I noticed that "Mou Ichido" and "Ai" (especially "ai") are used a lot in Japanese songs... well, at least in the J- pop I hear from various anime... Thanks for reviewing!

Joann- Thanks for liking my story! I hope that you still like it! Thanks for reviewing!

Mina-chan- Yeah, I also think that Inu-Yasha is slightly insane lol. *Looks at you funny* You... liked the bad guy? Hen desu yo... Thanks for reviewing!

MoonlightDarkness- ^_^ Sorry about the cliff hanger... I really didn't realize that I left you at one; I just knew that I needed my sleep lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Satoru Hikari Kitomaru- Wow... lots of people have described this fanfic as "interesting"... I'm starting to worry about that lol. The lack of romance in this fanfic is really different from my first one "Break the Love Spell!" (you would like all the fluff in it, so you should read and review for it! Please?) is really bugging me, so I need to add fluff in here... Especially since I just read a super fluff-filled chapter this morning w/Inu/Kag, so I have the urge to add fluff! Beware! Lol Thanks for reviewing!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!
