Ok, guys, this is going to be typed really quickly, cuz I have homework I need to do. So let's get going:
Chapter 17
Inuyasha was quickly changed. He could feel his mind slipping to an unknown source. The very body he controls was almost out of reach for him. The first person that came in contact to him was surely in for a surprise.
"Hey, dog turd, what the heck is wrong?!" Koga yelled from some distance yet. Inuyasha spun around and stared Koga down with demon red eyes. The wolf demon even knew that the scent of the once hanyou was now changed into that of something else. He's not half demon any more… it almost like he's a full blooded demon now…
"Stay away!" Inuyasha growled, slashing lengthened claws at the approaching demon. Luckily, on one was hurt.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Koga yelled, taking the fight outside.
Inuyasha followed close – too close for comfort. "Come back here, you coward!" The crazed hanyou yelled, gaining closely on the boy in front of him.
Koga kept his speed, making Inuyasha angrier. Something's wrong… Koga thought. There's no way any one demon can change like that.
From a distance, a voice shouted out to Inuyasha - that's when things got ultimately strange… Inuyasha dropped on his knees. And to Koga, the hanyou's scent was back to normal.
Inuyasha was on his knees, breathing heavily. What just happened?! He thought.
~*~
Meanwhile, after Kagome had walked some distance, she realized that she'd forgotten to tell Sango that she'd be late for practice after school that next day, so she turned around to head back to school.
Then she saw a peculiar sight. Inuyasha chasing Koga. What's gotten into those two. They're fighting a lot lately… But as they got closer, Kagome saw that this was no ordinary chase – this was a hunt. Inuyasha's eyes… Kagome thought as she saw the demon redness that they held. "Inuyasha-" she said quietly. Picking her speed up, she began running towards him. "Inuyasha!" she shouted a little louder this time. "INUYASHA!" she yelled at full force. Kagome saw him tumble to the ground. "Oh, no!" she gasped. Running just a few yards to where the hanyou had fallen, she skidded to a halt next to him. "Inuyasha!" she spoke.
"Stay away from him, Kagome! He's gone mad!" Koga said trying to pull her away.
"Lemme go!" she squealed wrenching herself free from his grasp. But his hold was too tight. "Lemme go you big bully!"
Inuyasha fell backward onto his hands. His face was unfocused and confused looking. "Wh-what happened…" he said so quietly, that neither Kagome nor Koga had heard him.
"Kagome, listen to me! He's gone crazy! He'll kill you! He nearly did me!" Koga tried to explain to the girl, who eventually managed to slip out of his grasp.
"Inuyasha…" she said wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "What happened to you?" she asked, trying to shake him out of his confused looking state.
"I-I don't remember…" he said shakily. "I remember walking down the hall… then… it pretty much goes blank…"
Kagome looked back at him with caring eyes. "You don't remember anything?"
"No." Inuyasha winced in pain, putting his hand over his stomach. "Damn… stupid wound hurts again…"
"Listen, dog breath, I don't know what stunt you pulled just now, but it's not very funny. What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Koga yelled.
"Listen, now's not the time, dammit!" Inuyasha yelled. "Just leave me alone for now!"
Kagome gave a little gasp and backed away a bit. "Inuyasha-" she started.
"JUST GO!" he yelled, interrupting her.
Kagome glanced at him, then got up and took off running, leaving both Inuyasha and Koga in her dust. "Damn wench needs to learn to keep her distance…" Inuyasha said getting up, still with a hand over his wound.
"That's no way to treat my woman! You idiot!" Koga shouted.
"Get off my back, wolf cub." The hanyou said quietly, half limping away to his home.
After Inuyasha had gotten a ways away, Koga spoke quietly, "Someday, Kagome, you'll be mine. You'll finally realize that that pathetic qorthless half breed can't do anything for you. Someday…" and he walked away.

Kagome ran home in tears. Her conscience was split now. "Sure, Inuyasha's a great guy, and all. But sometimes, he just gets a little bit… overly self conscience." The girl slumped down on her bed, with her book bag in tow. "He just… needs some time to be alone, that's all." Kagome told herself, getting out her books.

*^_^;;; and all this time, what are Miroku and Sango doing?! Hehe…let's see!!*
After school, Sango stuck around to practice some freethrows for the game next week. Being the athlete she was, it was swish after swish after swish… with the rare, hardly-ever-seen, once-in-a-lifetime miss. "Ok, just one more…" she'd tell herself after every basket. But of course, it ended up being one after another… getting later and later…
Unbeknownst to her, she had a spectator. High up in the shadows of the stands, Miroku eyed her. *please…ew…not that way…* She's really dedicated. He told himself. Soon, she'll be better than some of the guys…
Finally, the girl laid down on the gym floor. "Phew!" she sighed out loud. Miroku stood up and clapped.
"Bravo!" he called out to her. Sango shot up and looked around for the suspect.
"Show yourself!" She shouts, looking throughout the stands, not seeing anyone yet.
"Very good, Sango!" he yells down, finally allowing the girl to see his location. "You're really dedicated!"
"Miroku! You little perv! How long have you been there?!" She yelled at him, getting up.
"Hm…" he puts a finger to his chin, acting thoughtful. "…the whole time?" Sango just smirks. The boy in the stands continues his venture down the stairs. "You do have a little adjustment, though, that you could make." He offers.
"What?"
"Yea. When you shoot, your foot is just a little too far back. If you scoot it in, just a hair, you'll make it every time." Sango looks at him strangely. "I'm serious!"
"Yea. So show me." She says folding her hands across her chest.
"K. Get a ball."
Looking around for the nearest one, Sango grabs one and goes to the nearest net and lines up with the basket, looking like she's going to shoot. "Like this?" she asks getting in shooting stance.
"Yea, now slide your leg in just a bit…" Miroku says.
Sango follows direction, shoots, and hits nothing but net. "Hey, yea. Uh, thanks Miroku."
"Yea, no prob. Anything to help and pretty good looking girl…" quickly catching his mistake: "PLAYER! I mean basketball player!!"
.:major, MAJOR blush:.
"Uh, it's getting late… see ya round!" Sango says walking towards the exit, grabbing her bag on the way out.
"Wait!" Miroku calls out suddenly. Sango stops and turns around. " *inhale*
Wouldyouliketodosomethingthisweekendwithmelikemaybeadateorsomething?"
Sango just stares with her jaw down. "Where there any words in that?"
Miroku just blushed. "Would you like to do something this weekend with me, like maybe a date or something?" he said quietly.
Sango smiled. "I'd love to."
"Really? Great! Saturday okay?"
"Perfect."
"K, see ya round 6?"
"Great!"
The two leave walking side by side out of the gym.

Inuyasha stopped just blocks from his house due to the pain emitted by his injury. Damn, why does this hurt so bad… and what the hell happened before?! His mind raced with questions. His breathing was hard and raspy, and sweat ran down his face. What the heck is Sesshomaru doing anyway? It's all his fault… there was something wrong with that shot. It was no ordinary bullet that he shot… Whatever it was, it's doing something to me. And I can't let what just happened, happen again. Inuyasha continued, now, walking a bit faster than before.
Standing just in front of his door, Shippo was quickly in his face. "Where were you? What happened? Are you okay? Where's Kagome? What took you so long?"
"Shut up, brat." Inuyasha spat, walking in around the kid.
"What's your problem?" The kitsune asked, closing the door and following Inuyasha into the family room.
"Nothing, now just leave me alone. I'll be fine." The hanyou said trying to sound all big and tough.
".:incoherent words:."
"What was that?" Inuyasha asked angrily.
" 'Nothing, now just leave me alone. I'll be fine.' " Shippo mimicked.
Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and turned on the couch to be asleep in minutes.

Kagome awoke in the middle of the night with all her homework neatly packed up on her desk with her lights off. When did I fall asleep? She asked herself. Looking at the clock, she saw it was near time to get ready for school, so she got up anyway. Wait… it's still dark… what's going on? The girl went to get out of bed, but attempted to slide off, but the bed was longer than it seemed to usually be. I'm just delusional right now… she thought, but a little more sliding, and she came in contact with a body! What the -?! She thinks. Lifting the covers, she reveals a sleeping person! More or less, a MAN!!! In HER BED! "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Kagome shot up in her bed screaming. In seconds, her mom and older brother were standing over her. "Kagome what's wrong?!" they asked hurridly.
"I-I-I he-he-he…" She stuttered.
"She's just overly tired. Just let her stay home from school. I knew way back when, that she was crazy. She's just proved my theory now!" Sota said eying his sister suspiciously.
"Look, it was just a dream, go back to bed, Kagome." Her mother said comfortly.
"Uh huh…" Kagome said, laying back down.
Later, when her mother and brother had left, she sat up in her bed again, this time, thinking about that dream. "What was that all about?" she asked herself quietly. It seemed so real! Go back to bed, Kagome. You're tired and need sleep, that's all. Go to sleep. It was just a dream…
Kagome was a good girl and listened to the voice.
…Or was it a dream…?
