Sorri that it took so long...but dont worry Im slowly getting faster at updating. Sorri again --;

--A Little Too Late--

Inuyasha glared at the odd sunset that slowly collapsed in front of him. It was hard to think that five moons ago everything was normal. That the rotting corpse wrapped in red was not dead, but alive and well. It scared him to think that things could change so quickly and effortlessly.

"What am I going to do with you?" Inuyasha spoke as he unveiled Kagome's face.

The yellow tint that had so often come in death had already feasted upon Kagome's once voluptuous skin. Her stench smothered Inuyasha's sensitive nose making him gag, but he still hovered over her as if waiting for her to wake.

'Oh Kagome' he thought as he stroked her cold cheeks. 'I want you to be all right so bad. I would kill…' at these words he froze and realized his true feelings for her. He realized what his father had felt when he killed to save him and his mother. He was in love, and he had realized it too late.

The hanyou sat there gazing at the dead beauty and wondered how he could have been so stupid as to fall into Kikyo's trap. He wanted so much to believe that she was back for good, and for him. Kagome could, but Inuyasha couldn't accept what Kikyo had become, he made himself believe that she was the same young priestess that he had fallen in love with some fifty years ago.

Inuyasha gazed at Kagome and pondered how to wake her. He stood rapidly and jumped to the branch of the tallest tree and looked at the dark sky hoping something would come to him. He knew very well that Sesshomaru would never help him, and even if he did it would be at a great price. There must have been another way. In the midst of his thinking a strange scent caught his nose. It smelled of death. Inuyasha slowly turned his head to investigate. It couldn't have been Kagome because the scent that he detected was traveling upwards.

"Show yourself asshole!" he yelled as he tried to figure out the location of the foreign smell.

His hand wandered to his Tetsuiga and unsheathed the mighty sword. A pulsing sensation echoed through the dense forest. The tree that bore Inuyasha shuttered and bent in a strange motion. Inuyasha groaned in pain as the force rippled through his body.

'What was that?' he thought in panic as he sniffed the air again. The scent seemed to have vanished but he could sense that something was still there. Something powerful.

The pulsing waves flowed once again. Inuyasha watched as creatures fled from the surrounding areas. The hanyou braced himself for the second blow of torturous waves. The pain was too much to bear and the force scent him plummeting to the ground, landing hard near Kagome. It was odd that he could smell the creature but he couldn't see it. The scent of the demon grew stronger and viler with each second her sat there.

"Show yourself you bastard!" Inuyasha growled as he stood and unsheathed Tetsuiga.

He saw movement in the far area of the dark forest. The trees shivered as the being walked by them.

'I can't see it so I'll have to wait until the thing attacks again' Inuyasha thought as he tried to strategize.

The stench grew stronger and Inuyasha couldn't help but shield his nose with his free hand. It was unbearable. Inuyasha winced every time he breathed for it was almost as if it were acidic.

He quivered and lowered Tetsuiga. Raising his head and saw the creature that bore the wretched scent. It was a woman wearing a cloak of some sort. Standing directly in front of him she moved in a swift motion and struck Inuyasha's neck with long slender needles. He gasped in immense pain as his eyes shot wide as the needles began to take effect. He slowly collapsed onto the ground, unable to move or speak he watched in silence as the strange woman beckoned a large animal to carry them. She raised her hand and Inuyasha stood much a puppet.

'That dumb bitch, if I'm separated from Tetsuiga Ill turn into a demon and slash her throat out!' he thought as he tried to laugh. Then he watched as she beckoned the red bundle rose. She motioned both forward and directed them onto the great beast of burden.

The hanyou laughed internally as she began to turn.

'What a dumb shit' he reflected.

As if she had heard him she turned and motioned the sword to rise. Inuyasha watched in amazement as the weapon did exactly what she said. Then in one sudden movement she directed the object, straight toward Kagome's body. Inuyasha panicked and forced himself to move. Overcoming the paralysis he rolled onto the ground. But even that wasn't enough. Tetsuiga continued to move at great speed, Inuyasha watched in horror as it flew above his head a pierced the red bundle. He helplessly stared at the belly of the beast and waited. The hanyou shuttered as he felt tiny droplets hit his face and chest. Slowly opening his yellow orbs he looked down at his chest and saw that it was blood, Kagome's blood. He felt like he would cry. Inuyasha had never encountered a being that would take pride in mutilating something that was dead. He silently whimpered to himself as he thought of the marred body.

"You will understand in time what I am doing" the woman said "in time Inuyasha…in time"

He lay there in shock as she once again raised his limp body onto the beast. Inuyasha could see from the corner of his eye that Tetsuiga had pierced the red bundle in the chest and brown blood oozed from the gaping wound.

His white hair flowed vigorously behind him as they set out into the dense trees awaiting their fate.
