Yes, well this is my first fanfiction. I am not 100% sure where this is leading off to yet. It is kind of one of those make it up as you go along deals. I hope you enjoy it and I would be extremely grateful if you would take a moment to review it!

(Disclaimer - I don't own any of the characters I use. If I ever do create one I'll be sure to tell you!)

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. But Inuyasha wouldn't listen. Or rather this "thing" wouldn't listen. It stood a few yards away, tense and completely absorbed in battle mode. It loomed over it's victims while blood dripped from its tainted red hands.

"Heh" it smirked. Suddenly it's head jolted up, revealing piercing blood red eyes. They glared evilly as to lower her down, inch by inch. Fangs on the menacing face dripped with blood. His once beautiful serene hair now stained red. This was not the person she knew.

"Inu......ya....sha?" Kagome faltered. She wanted to say more but her mouth just seemed to stumble over any words she even attempted. Her heart raced. Everything around her was spinning. She could feel her knees caving in below her. Her vision blurred with tears, left nothing focused but him.

'What happened?' Kagome's mind raved, 'He still has the Tetsega though... wait! It's not transformed.'

With this thought, Kagome's eyes flew to the sky. It was twilight, that eerie time of day where things are usually always at peace, and the starts were faint.

'The moon! It's a new moon already? Wait, something.... Something feels wrong. Where is his demonic aura? There is none!' she gasped. ' But that would mean...'

"That's right Kagome' a familiar voiced joined. "It is the night of the new moon, and yet M'lord appears to be in full demon form"

"But how?! Why?!" Kagome questioned confused. She had already figured out that it was Myoga the flea demon advising her.

"It must be that M'lord's demon blood kicked in right before his powers were completely stripped from him. This can't be good."

"But he has no demonic aura!" Kagome repeated.

"Yes, that is precisely what I mean by 'not good'. The explanation for his capability of keeping his fangs, powers, and just appearance in general is because of the negative energy in his soul. The energy is feeding him.

"Negative energy?"

"Ah yes, that would be correct. It's unfortunate for you..... err.... us that he has so many negative feelings.... M'lord's life has not been a very kind one. If only it were that someone with better feelings were in his place right now."

"Hmm"

Suddenly Kagome was thrown back into reality. She was just in time to see the creature rushing towards her. His bloody claws were outstretched, aimed right for her.

"Eeek!"

An agonizing pain shot through her body. 'What's happening... he couldn't have....'

But he had. It was all so fast that she couldn't even tell where the pain had originated from, nor how it was inflicted upon her. All she knew was that it was him. Nothing else could up stir feelings like this. Not only physical pain, but the worst kind of emotional as well.

Abruptly after the pain there was ground. Kagome's now paralyzed nerves, paid no heed to the razor sharp rocks cutting into her skin. A fury of colors burned her eyes. There was a white blur, then gold, and finally red. Blood red. It was everywhere. Although her eyes were now closed she knew.

A cold feeling swept across her. A dark lonely feeling ached her heart. But what was this terrible feeling. In all her life there had never been anything as bad. So strong, so controlling. Motivating in a way, but ominous all the same. Then she grasped it.

It was betrayal.
