Uhhh...right. Okay, I know a lot of you were confused with the last chapter, but please, bear with me. It will all (mostly) be explained, maybe in this chapter or in the next chapter. We'll have to see. Now for some of the questions that were asked!

1: The Goshinboku is in Inuyasha's mind because I guessed that a place with significance to him would be that best place to use for a part of his mind.

2: Human Inuyasha, Normal Inuyasha and Demon Inuyasha all have different personalities (Human Inuyasha: More kind but is much more fearful for himself and the others; Normal Inuyasha: Arrogant but has his moments; Demon Inuyasha: ...Blood thirsty...). I know that they are all a part of what make the Normal Inuyasha, but I find it much more better not to think about it to hard and end up with a headache...XD

3: Elle just had one of those...feelings that something was wrong with everyone at the village. Am I the only one who's had these feelings to?!

4: No, Kagome didn't give up part of herself to Elle when she became hanyou, seeing as it had happened so fast.

5: At the start of the story, I think I said that Elle was a female inu-hanyou.

6: Why did Koga choose Elle to be his mate when she is outside of his demonic-race? All I can say is that you cannot chose who you love, your heart does.

-deep breath- Anyway, I thank Raquel for asking those questions. I hope it helped some of you readers who had trouble understanding the story better. As for Inuyasha suddenly losing control, you'll find out soon why! T

----Time for a weird moment!----

Hanyou- Heh. I decide to type 'Hanyou' instead of 'H-H' now! –smiles-

Inuyasha- Pfft. Why should we care?

Hanyou- It makes it easier for me to type now. I don't expect you to care. Jeez...

Miroku- Good-evening, Hanyou. Good-evening, Inuyasha.

Inuyasha- What the hell are you doing here, monk?!

Miroku- Kagome is out having a bath in the hot-spring with Sango.

Hanyou- Do I have to repeat Inuyasha's question?

Miroku- I don't understand.

Inuyasha- What? Have you given up on spying on them?

Miroku- Oh, that. They caught me already. –points out the bumps on his head-

Inuyasha- -falls over anime-style-

Hanyou- -laughs- Oh, watch out, Miroku. Here they come now! –points over Miroku's shoulder-

Inuyasha- I'm going over by Hanyou where it's safe.

Miroku- Huh?

::SMACK:: ::SLAP::

Kagome- YOU!

Sango- PERVERT!

Hanyou- -laughs-

Inuyasha- -whispers- Maybe you should just start typing the chapter...

Hanyou- -looks over at Inuyasha- Aww, Inuyasha, I didn't know you cared! –starts typing chapter-

Inuyasha- Feh! Don't get ahead of yourself, wench. –watches Miroku's beatings-

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, just Elle and the clothes on my back...and a few other things...

Chapter 22

Kagome was half-way to the village when she caught Inuyasha's distant scent in her sensitive nose. 'He's lost it!'

"I've got to run faster!" Kagome gathered more speed and jumped high over the trees, seeing that she was only one more bound away now.

Just then she realized she had never tried out her new body. The changes were significant. Her legs were stronger, as well as her arms and torso. For just a moment, Kagome forgot what she was doing and relished the feeling of gliding above the trees.

Behind her, a loud crash of a tree resonated through the air, snapping Kagome out of her dream-like trace. She realized that she just about the village and quickly landed.

"Everyone! Go inside of your huts and don't make a sound! Great danger is coming!"

Everyone in the village turned around to look at her, but when they noticed that is was their beloved Kagome-sama shouting at them, they quickly hurried along back to their huts. Kagome was glad that they trusted her enough to not question her actions and do what she asked.

Turning around, she ran down to Kaede's hut and jumped inside.

Sango stared up at her, noting that she was panting heavily, even for a hanyou.

"Kagome-chan, is everything alright?"

"I need you and Miroku to stay in here and guard Kaede and Shippo."

"Why? What has happened? Where's Inu-"

"Inuyasha's the problem." And with that, Kagome ran out the hut again, leaving everyone inside wondering what was going on with Kagome and Inuyasha.

Sango looked over at Miroku with a questioning stare. "Should we?"

Miroku shook his head and took one last sip of his tea. He looked fearfully out the window and then back at Sango. "No. Something has happened to Inuyasha. Something that only Kagome can fix."

========With Kagome=======

Kagome sniffed the air, searching for Inuyasha's scent. 'I need to find him before he reaches the village. Inuyasha would feel horrible if he found out he had hurt someone, or worse...'

Kagome shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. She began sniffing the air again. 'Where is he? Where is he?...There!' Kagome bounded off in the direction of the scent.

'His scent...it's changed a lot! I remember Inuyasha telling me once that your scent mirror's your emotions. It's almost not the same as before, his normal scent is just barely there. But his scent seems to have an edge to it. It's probably his demon side craving for blood.'

Out of nowhere, Inuyasha jumped out from behind some bushes beside her. Kagome had just enough time to stop running and duck at the same time, causing her to skid. But Inuyasha still managed to get her with his elongated claws.

Kagome screamed in pain for a second before looking down at her shoulder to look at the small gash her mate had inflicted upon her. The shoulder of her shirt was completely torn, leaving the small gash on her shoulder very visible.

Kagome placed her hand on her shoulder and added pressure, hopping that it will stop bleeding faster because of her hanyou blood. She chanced a glance up at Inuyasha.

He was staring wide-eyed at his blood-covered fingers, panting slightly.

"Inuyasha..."

He looked up at Kagome, some fear showing in his eyes. Kagome smiled slightly when she saw that they where slowly fading back to their normal gold color.

Suddenly, Inuyasha closed his eyes and began to growl very loudly. He lowered his head and placed it in the palms of his hands.

"Inu-...yasha?"

When he said nothing, Kagome stepped slowly forward, in hopes of comforting her mate some.

When she was a foot away from him though, he quickly lifted his head, snarling and glaring at her with blood-red eyes.

-evil laughter- I'm going to be mean and end it there. Please review I promises the next chapter will be longer and a bit more information will be revealed! In the mean time, please review!
