Chapter17
Making Some Hard Decisions
Kagome walked slowly toward Inuyasha and Koga. She had an arrow ready and she would not hesitate to shoot if she had to.
"Koga!" Kagome screamed. Koga looked up from Inuyasha and over at Kagome.
"Kagome! Just a second after I kill this dog turd I'll go after Naraku. You just go hide somewhere and be safe!"
Kagome raised her bow.
"Kagome..... What are you doing?"
"Koga, I don't know how many times I have to tell you! I do not love you! I never did. I love Inuyasha... And that's the way it is...... Get off of him or I'll be forced to shoot you."
Koga paused. Would she really kill him to save Inuyasha? Did she love him that much?
"Grrrr!" Koga growled and he turned his attention toward Inuyasha once more. "If this mutt isn't alive, than you will have no feelings for him!"
Koga raised his hand in the air and began to bring it down.
"Koga!"
Kagome pulled her arrow back and released it.
"I'm sorry...... Koga," she whispered. The arrow went flying toward Koga. He looked up with sadness in his eyes. The arrow hit his side and he hit the ground. Koga looked at the arrow with wide eyes and than at Kagome.
"I really did........... Love you...." Koga's eyes shut and his body went limp. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha with a single tear rolling down her cheek.
"Kagome...... I can't believe you really....."
Kagome's voice trembled and she smiled pitifully.
"No use crying over little things. I have to be strong to save you..." Kagome touched Inuyasha's face and he froze.
'This isn't the Kagome I know....... Her arrows are so much stronger.... Kind of like....'
"Where's Kikyo?"
'He still thinks of her.... Even at a time like this...'
Kagome's head tilted to where she once was, battling with Kikyo. Inuyasha looked in that direction and gasped.
"You... killed her..."
"No! Please Inuyasha! Don't hate me! She's not dead, she's just unconscious! I had to do it or she was going to....."
"I understand Kagome... That must be why you were so quick to kill Koga..."
"He's not dead....."
There was a short silence, save for the others who were all fighting.
"Kagome..... Will you save me?"
"Huh?"
"You said you had to be strong to save me... So, will you?"
More tears streamed down Kagome's face and she nodded. "I will.... I promise!"
Inuyasha stood up and Kagome followed.
"Now it's time to kill Naraku......"
Kagome and Inuyasha headed for Tarantula and Naraku, but was stopped by a large cloud of Miasma. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha jumped in front of her unsheathing the Tetsuiga.
"U-Uk-Ukaran......." Kagome trembled and the strength she had just had disappeared. She fell to the ground and hung her head. Ukaran smiled and glanced at Kagome.
"Good..... You remember me..." Inuyasha growled.
"Touch her this time and I swear you won't escape!"
"Ah, it's the demon Inuyasha. The only thing keeping me from my Kagome..."
"She's not yours!" Even with the Tetsuiga wielded in Inuyasha's hands, his demon blood began to take control. His eyes glowed red and his claws became longer.
"You will never touch her again. I swear it."
Kagome touched Inuyasha's shoulder and he snarled.
"Stay back Kagome! Go help Sango and the others!"
Inuyasha began to breathe heavily, trying his best to keep control.
"Inuyasha......."
"Go!" Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and gave Kagome the saddest look she had ever seen. "Please...."
Kagome trembled. "O....Okay...."
Kagome ran around Ukaran who reached out for her. Kagome fell onto the ground and screamed.
"Ahhhh!"
That was it.... The thing that sent Inuyasha over the edge. Purple stripes appeared on Inuyasha. The Tetsuiga went back to its original form.
'What?! How can I be a demon if I have the Tetsuiga in my hands?! Why is this happening?!'
Ukaran took his attention off of Kagome and looked over at Inuyasha.
"So, you're a demon once more are you?"
Inuyasha sheathed the Tetsuiga and he growled.
"Answer me."
Inuyasha looked up at Ukaran.
"You pathetic human. I couldn't tell before, but now I see. You're nothing but a human with witch-like powers."
"Damn you to hell you little mongrel. How dare you say such a thing about a powerful demon like me!"
"Shut up."
Inuyasha ran forward and slashed at Ukaran who barely had time to dodge his attack.
'He's even faster than last time.'
"Good job, I see you are fast-"
"Shut up and fight!"
Inuyasha jumped on Ukaran's back and sunk his teeth into his neck.
"Ahhhh!" Ukaran fell to his knees in pain. "Get off of me! Please! Leave me be!"
Inuyasha jumped off of Ukaran and smirked.
"You pathetic piece of crap! You beg for your life!"
"No, not really. AH!" Ukaran jumped forward and made an attempt to slice through Inuyasha's gut, but he was too slow.
"Ha ha. Too slow," Inuyasha said in a teasing voice. Ukaran turned around slowly trembling.
"You are the devil's helper..."
Inuyasha jumped forward and began to slice at Ukaran, leaving deep cuts all over him. Inuyasha smiled and laughed the whole time.
"Can't you fight back! You pathetic being! You don't deserve to live!"
"Inuyasha......."
Inuyasha's eyes went wide and he froze.
'Kagome.......'
Inuyasha turned around slowly and his eyes met with Kagome's. Kagome slowly walked toward him, not breaking eye contact.
"Inuyasha.... You're a....."
He jumped back and covered his face, shaking his head uncontrollably.
"Stay back! I don't want you to see me like this!"
He uncovered his face and Kagome was right in front of him.
"Why are you in this form.... Even with the Tetsuiga at your side..."
"I don't know....... I have control over my powers though.... It's as if when I'm pushed enough I can still transform into a demon. Even thought the Tetsuiga is with me. I think that it gives me control though..."
Tears streamed down Kagome's already tear stained face.
'Inuyasha, does this mean you'll be like this forever...'
"Kagome! Why are you crying?!"
Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha, laying her head against his chest.
"Inuyasha," she whispered.
"I....I...." Inuyasha looked up and noticed a large light coming toward them. "Watch out!"
He turned around and covered Kagome's body with his own.
"Inuyasha!"
The ball of energy hit him and everything else around them, including Ukaran. Inuyasha went flying into the air, landing in a pile of dirt. He didn't move.
Naraku laughed, holding Tarantula up by his throat. He dropped his body and watched it fall to the ground. "Heh heh heh. It seems that the demon wasn't so strong after all," Naraku chuckled. "Neither was the half- breed."
Naraku paused as he noticed movement coming from Naraku's body.
"Hmmm?"
"I'm much stronger than you thought!"
Inuyasha stood with Kagome in his arms. He brushed her bangs away from her eyes.
"You can do whatever you want to me... But when you start messing with Kagome, that's when I get pissed!"
Inuyasha jumped toward Naraku with Kagome still in his arms. He began to kick Naraku with lightning like speed.
"Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha glanced at the ground and noticed Miroku and Sango under him. He dropped Kagome and continued to fight Naraku, able to use his hands as well.
"Damn it Inuyasha. Do you have to be so careless!"
Kagome fell to the ground and Kirara jumped up and caught her.
"Good catch Kirara!" Sango yelled, holding Kohaku in her arms.
'Good. Now I can fight Naraku with my fool strength.'
Sango, Miroku and Kagome began to leave the battle site but were stopped as a barrier cut them off.
"If you think I'm going to let you escape that easily, you must be fools!"
Inuyasha paused to look at his friends. They were all stuck here. Damn it. Now what was he going to do if Naraku caught one of them and threatened him with their life?
"You shouldn't look away in a battle!"
Inuyasha turned around just to be met with Naraku's fist. Naraku grabbed his head and kneed him numerous times. He went flying to the ground with a yell. Naraku smiled.
"Illusory Death!"
As soon as Inuyasha hit the ground hundreds of plant-like arms went after him.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was sitting on Kirara.
"Inu....Inuyasha..... Inuyasha! Where is he?!"
Sango pointed to a whole in the ground, which had small rocks and smoke coming from it.
"Inuyasha!"
"Wait, where's Shippo?" Sango asked worriedly. Miroku pulled open his robes and revealed Shippo's unconscious form.
"The explosion in the beginning was too much for him," Miroku explained.
"At least he's safe.... Huh... Kagome! Come back here!" Sango yelled.
Kirara flew over to Inuyasha with Kagome on her back.
"Thank you Kirara..." Kagome whispered. She jumped off of Kirara's back as they reached Inuyasha Kagome looked at Inuyasha's motionless form.
"Inuyasha..... Wake up please.... I... I'll say the 'S' word if you don't get up.... Inuyasha, this isn't funny. Please, please get up...." she whispered.
"Ha, ha, ha. This is too much. First he becomes a full demon and now he's almost dead. I thought this would be a challenge," Naraku laughed from behind Kagome.
Kagome turned around and leered at Naraku.
"How dare you! How dare you do this to Inuyasha!" Kagome's eyes began to glow a light blue and her body began to glow as well.
"How dare you hurt him! Now he's.... he's....."
Large balls of light appeared at the end of Kagome's hands and she growled.
"He's dead!!"
"Stay back you witch!"
Naraku began to step away slowly.
"You will not escape!"
'Just as I feared! Her miko powers have been discovered! Now she will not rest until I am dead!'
"You monster! I hate you! I hate you!"
Kagome raised one of her hands and a ball of energy went flying toward Naraku. It hit his right shoulder and he yelled in agony. Memories flashed through Kagome's head. Memories of her and Inuyasha.
"He's dead! And it's all your fault!"
'I couldn't protect him.... I couldn't save him!'
More balls of energy went flying toward Naraku and he screamed.
"Stop it! Please! I'll give you whatever you want! Here is my part of the sacred jewel shard..."
Naraku held up three fourths of the Shikon Jewel.
"You can wish Inuyasha back with it....."
Kagome stopped and stared at the jewel.
"Burn in hell."
Kagome's eyes became completely blue and a large amount of energy came from her body.
"Sango!" Miroku yelled. "The barrier has gone down! If we don't get out of here, Kagome's miko powers will become uncontrollable and we will all be killed!"
"Right!"
Sango and Miroku jumped onto Kirara and they flew off.
"We'll come back for Kagome once she has calmed!"
A tear rolled down Sango's cheek.
'I can't believe Inuyasha is......'
Kagome stood over Naraku.
"You disgust me! It's time for you to die!"
Energy came from every part of Kagome's body and it formed a giant explosion. A bright light engulfed the land and everything in the area was destroyed. Kagome opened her eyes and looked around.
"I don't see Naraku..... Is he..... dead?"
Kagome crawled over to where Inuyasha had been.
"I hope I didn't...."
She looked into the whole and saw that his body was still there.
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome leaned down and pulled him out of the whole that had the shape of his body. She wrapped her arms around him and sobbed into his kimono.
"Inuyasha! How could you leave me like this! How could you! Leave me here in this horrible place! All by myself! You idiot! How could you die?!"
Kagome's eyes became red from all of the crying she had done that night. Actually, now it was dawn. They had fought into the early morning.
"Inuyasha.... Please wake up..... Please....."
"How about you go to sleep!"
Kagome gasped as someone quickly hit her on the back of the neck and everything went black.
Well people, someone reported me so I won't be updating chapters for a while. The only reason I can update this is because I'm at the library. If you review, and I don't respond I'll get back to you later. Ok, well thanks for reading. C u l8ter.

Kagome walked slowly toward Inuyasha and Koga. She had an arrow ready and she would not hesitate to shoot if she had to.
"Koga!" Kagome screamed. Koga looked up from Inuyasha and over at Kagome.
"Kagome! Just a second after I kill this dog turd I'll go after Naraku. You just go hide somewhere and be safe!"
