Disclaimer: sigh You know I don't OWN Inuyasha….I DO however own Nakaki….but that's it. No one else :p So uh….you can't steal her….not that you'd want to XD And thank you everyone who has reviewed I really apreciate my work being appreciated (sp?)

Kagome, What's a Birthday?

Inuyasha stared at Kagome's body soaked in blood. Nakaki looked down at her, then looked up at Inuyasha. In her eyes, were tears. He slowly stepped up to Kagome, and leaned down to her, picking her up and cradling her up to him. Kagome's blood dripped onto his arms, bringing tears to his eyes.

"K-Kagome…" He could feel no pulse in her delicate body. She was dead. "…no…"

Feeling nothing but cold flesh filled Inuyasha with sadness, and anger. Nakaki watched from a few feet away, "Did I do this?" she pulled her hands up to her face again and stared at the stains of darkened red ooze which dripped down her arm. When she looked at Inuyasha, he slowly set Kagome down, and hid his eyes, but she could sense something different about him. He was pulsing, his heart raced faster, and he tensed up. The second he looked up at her, his eyes were blood red, and his hair had returned back to white, but the sun had not risen yet, how could this be?

In an instant he was right in front of her, baring his fangs and claws dangerously. She wasn't quick enough to react to his first attack. He sliced down her face, slashing half her cheek. Blood rushed out and splattered on the ground below. It didn't take long for her instincts to kick in, and she had transformed, soaring up into the air. Inuyasha leapt up after her, slicing at her legs, but missing because of her speed. Floating high above, She checked the sky for any sign of a moon, but there was none, "I don't understand…why has he transformed?" She looked over at Kagome, "It must be her" Nakaki's thoughts broke as Inuyasha tore at the bottom of her wings. He managed to hit her, and she crashed to the ground. Blood trickled from her wing sockets which were practically ripped apart.

But she wasn't out. She stood up, pulsing, her blood began to pump faster, like Inuyasha's. But Inuyasha didn't notice, he only rushed for her and continued swiping at her chest, while she dodged. But with a swift maneuver, she dropped low and kicked Inuyasha off his feet. He was quick to get up and land a nasty punch in her gut. The force shot Nakaki off her feet and into ground a couple of yards away. The power shocked her into the ground, but Inuyasha wasn't through.

He advanced on her while she was down and tried a rather sloppy Iron-revert attack. Nakaki was hit hard. The attack rendered her unconscious. Now was Inuyasha's chance. But as he raised his claw for the final blow, he froze, as a quick vision of Kagome popped in his head. "Inuyasha"

His eyes slowly pulsed back to brown and his hair turned to Raven. He then looked down at Nakaki. She was stained with blood as Kagome was. He lowered his hands and slowly walked back to Kagome where he dropped to his knees next to her. "Kagome…I just wish that I could've been here for you."

Then, something began to happen. He looked down at her, as he began to pulse again, only he felt…lighter somehow. Light had engulfed both him, and Kagome, a loud screech filled the air…then…all was silent.

When the air cleared, slowly, Kagome rose up and looked around, dazed. Around her, the ground had been torn up and Nakaki lye in a pit ahead of her. In Kagome's eyes, she was glowing, for she possessed three shards of the shikonotama. She stood up, unaware of Inuyasha next to her, and wobbled her way over the Nakaki, who had been separated from the shards during the last attack. She gathered them up, while wondering what had happened. He semi-consciousness, however, caused her to drop a shard and it bounced behind her. Slowly she turned to re-collect it, but froze, as the sight of Inuyasha on the ground.

Quickly she ran to him, ignoring the shard, which was glowing a vile tainted light. "INUYASHA!" she examined him, but there was no movement. Too weak to lift him, she rushed into her house, and grabbed the first aid kit. But when she got back, after examining him a bit, she realized that it wasn't physical damage. "Inuyasha? Come on…get up!" She shook him. But there was no response.

A second later she was flown into the air by a blast that had just missed. Kagome looked up at the source…it was Nakaki…in her demon form, and in her, was the tainted shard.

.............insert end of chapter line here.............

NOW! Before you go all crazy on me, I'm just gonna say ONE thing. I never said that Inuyasha was dead! He's my fav character in the whole show and I wouldn't kill him. But something HAS happened to him, and you'll just have to wait until the next chapter (I believe the LAST) to find out. It'll be called "Inuyasha's gift"
