Kagome continued to walk as Inuyasha held out his sword. She didn't seem to notice that he wasn't acting like himself. Just then, Kagome heard Inuyasha's sword being thrust into the ground. Kagome turned around, alarmed.

"Inuyasha, what happened?" Kagome questioned puzzled.

"Ka…gome…" Inuyasha said weakly, as he gripped Tetsusaiga's blade in one hand, and was trying to pull it away with the other.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome ran over to his side, and put her arm on his shoulder.

Inuyasha pushed Kagome backwards, and she feel onto the ground. Kagome cringed in pain.

"Hey! What did you do that for?" Kagome yelled at him.

Inuyasha's bangs covered up his face, as he looked down at the ground. His whole body was shaking, as he tried to fight Naraku's control.

"Inuyasha…?"

Inuyasha's slowing lifted his head, and his eyes met hers. Kagome gasped. He had not pupils in his eyes. She also noticed the black outline of the jewel shard that was on his forehead.

"Who did this to you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she stood up from the ground.

"N-Narak-" Inuyasha didn't get to finish his sentence, before Naraku's control began to grow stronger. Inuyasha collapsed to the ground. He screamed in pain like no other, as if he were being eaten alive. Kagome ran over to him, and watched in horror as the man she loved was stricken with an unbearable pain.

Kagome began calling to him, to snap out of it, and asking if he were alright.

Inuyasha heard her voice, but it was extremely faint. He voice became lower, and lower, as he felt Naraku's presence growing stronger.

"INUYASHA!!!!" Kagome screamed.

"Ka….gome…" Inuyasha managed to make out, as the pain stopped. Inuyasha breathed heavily, as he tried to stand on his feet.

"Inuyasha, are you alright? Stop, don't try to move.

Kagome noticed that his pupils had returned to normal, but the outline of the black jewel shard still remained present on his forehead. She griped his arm, to help him stand.

"What, what happened?" Kagome questioned.

"Naraku….h-he took control of me…." Inuyasha said as he breathing slowly returned to normal.

"How?"

"With a black jewel shard."

"The black outline on your forehead?"

"Yeah…"

Kagome thought of an idea.

"Let me try to purify it." Kagome said, as she reached out her hand, and put her index finger on the outline on his forehead. She then closed her eyes, in order to focus.

Inuyasha stood completely still, waiting to see what would happen.

Kagome eyes then shot open as a surge of dark energy shot through her body. She fell to the floor, as she felt a sharp pain in her chest that went straight through her heart. She tried to catch her breath, but she felt the wind being knocked out of her.

"Kagome!!" Inuyasha yelled, as he dropped to the ground, and grabbed on to Kagome. "Are you alright?" he asked with deep concern.

Kagome put one hand on her chest, and the other hand on her neck, as she breathed in heavily, and deeply.

"Kagome!?" Inuyasha questioned once again.

"Inu…yasha…" was all she was able to make out, with her loss of breath.

"Are you alright?" he questioned.

Kagome didn't answer.

"Kagome!?!?"

"Y-Yes…" Kagome answered.

"Come on, we should go sleep in the woods tonight. There's no way in hell I can bring you back there." Inuyasha said, as he stood up. Kagome nodded in agreement.

Inuyasha helped her to stand, and held her on his back. He then ran into the forest.

A couple of hours later, they had already set up a little camping area. It was dark now, and Kagome and Inuyasha sat in front of a glistening fire, as they ate ramen for dinner.

They were both extremely quiet. Especially Inuyasha. He kept on thinking about the black jewel shard that still remained in his fore head, even though it was dormant at this time.

'Maybe I shouldn't be here with her. What will happen if Naraku makes me attack her again? I was able to fight him off this time, but what about the next time?' Inuyasha questioned himself.

Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Inuyasha…?"

He snapped out of his daze.

"K-Kagome….what is it?" he asked.

"Are you okay?"

Inuyasha didn't answer.

"Are you?" she asked again.

"Kagome, I don't think I should stay here with you." he answered flatly.

"What?!" Kagome was shocked. "Why not?"

Inuyasha immediately turned to face her. "What do you mean 'why not?' I could seriously hurt you!"

"I don't care!" she yelled back.

"How can you not care?" he questioned.

"Because, I'm not going to leave you! Not now, and not ever!" Kagome blushed after what she had said.

Inuyasha also blushed. He nodded back.

"I'm tired, so I'm going to go to sleep." Kagome said, as she got out her sleeping back from her backpack, and laid it down on the ground.

"Okay, good night." he responded back.

The next day, Kagome woke up first. She got out of her sleeping bag, and stretched out. Then she looked around, and didn't see Inuyasha anywhere in sight.

"Inuyasha?" she looked around, and couldn't find him.

"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!!!!"

Kagome screamed, as she was cut across the arm, and flew into the ground, and hit it hard. Blood was seeping out from the wound on her arm. She looked up to see Inuyasha hovering over her.

"I-Inuyasha! Why?" she questioned, as she looked up to see his eyes. She gasped as she realized that he once again had no pupils in his eyes, and she noticed that the black jewel shard outline was darker and deeper.

'What am I gonna do?' Kagome asked herself.

Inuyasha laughed, and Kagome looked up towards him and gritted her teeth.

"What's the matter Kagome? You're not scared, are you?" Inuyasha questioned. (Naraku)

"Naraku, you leave Inuyasha alone!!" she screamed.

"Now why in the world would I do that?" Inuyasha laughed. (Naraku)

'Before, Inuyasha could control himself a bit. Can't he do it now?' she wondered to herself.

"This is getting boring. Let me make it more fun!" Inuyasha yelled, as he pulled out his Tetsusaiga. (Naraku)

"Now die!" Inuyasha yelled. "Wind Scar!!!!" he yelled. (Naraku)

Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, as she was hit by the wind scar, and went flying backwards. She banged into a tree, and passed out.

"HAHAHA!" Inuyasha yelled. (Naraku) "Now you will truly suffer!!" he yelled, as he let go of his control over Inuyasha.

"KAGOME!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran over to her side. "Kagome? Can you hear me?" Inuyasha put his hand on her neck. "She has a pulse, thank god…"

"Naraku, that bastard. He will pay for what he did to Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled into the sky.

Inuyasha then looked down at Kagome with sad eyes. He was overwhelmed with a sense of utter and complete guilt.

"Kagome, I'm so sorry…" Inuyasha said to her, as he pulled her into a hug.

"He wont get away with this." he assured her. Then he lifted her up, and placed her in her sleeping bag to rest.
