Hey guys! Sorry this took me so long, it's just science fair and history fair season and my teachers were nice' enough to assign extra homework. Right. This chapter took a lot of thinking and I've realized what a mess I got into. I did fortunately figure a way for things to go back to normal'. As normal as it gets, at least. On with the Fic!!.
************************
Everything was dark... cold. Kagome could feel herself breathing, could feel herself kneeling, but she felt dead. She shuddered as Kikyo's words struck yet again full in the face. Kikyo had said Inu-yasha didn't love Kagome, and would come to live with her in hell. All those times they had spent together flashed by her and tears stung her eyes.
Inu-yasha...' She cried longingly to him. It's not true...' She looked up to see where she was going. The demon was racing through the forest at uncanny speeds, even for her state of youkai-ness. (A/N _ Youkai-ness...) Where was Inu-yasha? She tried to force herself to turn around and look for him.
Kagome skidded to a halt on the forest floor. She shook horribly and turned, her eyes clouded with fear.
No! What are you doing?! Kagome howled in her youkai voice. Let me alone! Kagome snarled and clutched her head. She then whispered in a small voice.
No! I like being strong! He doesn't love you! Kagome rammed her head into a tree, causing several small animals to scatter. Again and again Kagome smashed her head against the rough bark of the large oak.
Inu-yasha crept up to her, clutching his injured arm. Kagome, it's me!
The youkai slowly turned her head, her fangs bared and her claws sinking into the tree.
What do you want, hanyou? She hissed, her eye twitching.
Inu-yasha flinched at the reference to himself as a halfbreed. Come here, Kagome... Inu-yasha called to her soothingly, as if she were a child.
Youkaigome's blank, red eyes widen in shock for a moment. Inu-yasha never says please. She snorted loudly and stood up straight, although she still shook.
I would never sully my hands with a hanyou like yourself. I am full Youkai! You are nothing. She grinned evilly, but the tears streaming down her face countered her statement. A wracking sob shook her and she clutched the tree she made the mistake of leaving. Let me alone! She hissed again at the voice Inu-yasha wasn't hearing. He doesn't love you! He loves Kikyo and as soon as he kills us, he'll leave and join her in hell! She cried out, slamming her fist into the tree.
Inu-yasha started. Of course he loved Kagome. He loved Kagome more than he had ever loved anyone. It wasn't the same love as Kikyo, who he had lusted for. This was different. This was Kagome.
That's not true! He yelled, taking a step forward. I do, Kagome! I... He swallowed hard. He always had avoided the word love. He had only used it about twice with Kagome. This was most important, if he didn't save kagome, they'd all die at the wrath of this she-demon who so thirsted for revenge.
I love you. He said in defeat. It's all a lie.
Kagome's eyes flickered for one moment, and she stumbled forward.
She said shakily.
He ran to her and wrapped her in an embrace.
... run...
He grunted in pain, and staggered backward. Kagome's clawed hand was embedded in his abdomen.
Inu-yasha! Die! She howled a war cry and pounced. He fled, using the tree branches as leverage. How was he gonna get out of this one?

HEY!!! I'm working all night tonight, so I should have the next chappie up in no time! I'm sorry to leave it how it is, but I did need my space to think. IT ENDS HAPPY, I SWEAR!
