Chapter 6 Miko's powers withdrawn

Inuyasha growled, whipping out the Tetsusaiga from it's sheath. "Feh, that's whatcha ya think now."

Numada smirked. "We will see." And with that he swung his giant claw down on Inuyasha. Inuyasha jumped back just in time as the claw smashed down. Just as Inuyasha thought he was safe, Numada's other claw came swinging from the side. The sharp claw hit Inuyasha directly in the side, knocking him to the ground.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shrieked.

This caught the attention of Numada. He turned to Kagome, baring his fangs. "And I'm guessing that you are the miko."

Kagome stepped back, starring up at the giant demon. "M-maybe." She replied, moving back a bit more.

Numada smirked. "Good enough." He swiped down at her with his giant claws, but missing and hitting the hut behind her.

Kagome ducked, holding Shippou in her arms. She looked up as soon as the falling derbies stopped. Numada towered over her, still having a sly smirk on his face. "This time I wont miss."

Just as Numada was going to slice Kagome in half, he just stopped. He reached his claw over, turning slightly. There, with the Tetsusaiga jammed into Numada's side was Inuyasha.

Inuyasha grunted and pulled out the fang just before the sharp claws of Numada could reach him.

Numada grinned from horn to horn. "So, you still have fight left in you half-breed." Numada's voice was so low it nearly shook the ground.

Inuyasha smirked, placing the Tetsusaiga's blade on his shoulder. He just 'kehed' in response as she jumped up into the air and brought the fang down on Numada's head.

Numada laughed and swatted Inuyasha away as if he was a fly. Inuyasha quickly recovered and launched another attack. As quickly as Inuyasha could attack, Numada blocked, laughing.

Kagome watched, eyes widen with fear. This fight reminded her of the one with the dragon demon they had just a few days ago, but this time she was going to help. She turned to the demolished hut, searching for her arrows.

As if Shippou had read her mind, he poped out of the wreak with her quiver and bow. "Quickly Kagome! Inuyasha needs your help!" Pleaded the little Kitsune, wide eyed with fear.

Kagome nodded and took the quiver and how. She whirled around, arrow already to shoo. She aimed carefully, waiting for Inuyasha to be out of the way.

Inuyasha went flying to the ground below. 'There! There is my chance!' She thought, letting go of the already tense arrow. It flew strait to it's target, but............. Her eyes widen and she dropped the bow. "It...... it didn't glow...... It was an ordinary arrow!" She socked on her words. The arrow hit it's target, but didn't even pierce the hide.

Numada didn't even notice this attempt to kill him, but Inuyasha did. His eyes widen. 'What the hell is going on?!' He thought as he stared up at the demon. He had not time to think about this, he had to protect Kagome! He jumped up into the air, sword pulled back, ready to attack.

Numada huffed. "I do not feel like playing anymore." His claws lengthen and he slashed Inuyasha, flinging him to the ground.

Direct hit. Inuyasha was thrown face first into the soft soil, the now un- transformed Tetsusaiga landing only meters away from him. His eyes were wide, starring but unseeing.

Kagome trembled. 'N-no..... he can't be dead!' Her mind screamed. "Inuyasha!!" She yelled, blinking back tears.

"No......" Shippou looked down at the ground in disbelief.

Numada turned to Kagome and Shippou, laughing/ "Now that he's out of the way," He mocked with a grin. "It's time for you two to DIE!" He yelled, lifting his hand, ready to strike.

Kagome closed her eyes, accepting her hate. "Inuyasha......" She whispered.

After a moment, still nothing happened. She felt a tug at her skirt. She slowly opened her eyes to see Shippou. Shippou just pointed to where the demon was. She hesitated at first, but slowly looked up to see and cloud of dust explode in her face. She coughed and waved the dust away. Once it finally cleared, she saw..... Numada sliced up into pieces and.....

"Inuyasha!" She called out, sighing in relief.

Inuyasha had his hack to her, but soon turned. Kagome saw his red eyes, longer fangs and lengthen claws. He had become a youkai.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked nervously as she slowly approached him. Now, she only stood inches away from him.

He growled, stepping back a bit. "Get away from me!" He yelled, claws flinching as if they had a mind of their own.

"Inuyasha......" She said once more, stepping closer to him. 'Please remember me.....' Her mind pleaded as she lightly put her hand on his cheek.

Inuyasha jerked away, growling even more. "Get away!" He yelled.

Kagome sighed heavily. 'I'm sorry Inuyasha.....' She thought as she said, "Sit!"
