What's happening??? I just can't control myself... Inuyasha thought, coming back to his normal self for a second. The demon took over him again, and he went running, tetsuiga drawn, towards the first person he saw, which happened to be Kikyou. "Move wench or I'll kill you!!" Kikyou looked over towards Sango, Miroku and Kagome, then back towards Inuyasha. "Inuyasha..." she whispered. The demon cracked his knuckles. "So ya aren't gonna move then, huh wench?"
Kikyou looked defiantly up at him. "I won't let you harm Kagome." Inuyasha raised his sword and looked menacingly at Kikyou. "Prepare to die."
Before he could lower his sword, something came over him. He looked over where Kagome was leaning against Miroku. "What's with that wench?" He said, sneering. Kagome was expressionless, blood still running from the cut in her head. Tears were flowing from her eyes. "Inuyasha.... stop..."
He gave a wicked laugh and turned around. Before Kikyou could react, he attacked her with his claws. Kikyou gave a shrill scream before falling to the floor. The sickening thunk of her head hitting a rock echoed through the forest. Kagome gasped. "Kikyou!!!" When Inuyasha awoke from his demonic form he heard Kagome's voice. He blinked, the world still in a sickening blur, trying to remember what had happened. He shook his head and looked around. "Kagome... What happened??" He murmured, looking nervously at the tears running down her cheeks. Then he noticed Kikyou lying in the clearing and gasped. He looked toward Kagome, then back to Kikyou. "Did... did... I do that?" He whispered, voice echoing through the now silent forest. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, eyes wide, and slowly nodded her head. He opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but no words came out. He looked down and then back up at Kagome. She smiled the best she could, but it looked like more of a grimace.
Inuyasha took a deep breath and walked slowly over to where Kikyou lay motionless. He kneeled at her side and flipped her over so he could see her face. Her right arm was covered in blood and her face was ghostly white. As he gently lifted her, a low moan escaped from her lips. She blinked and looked up. "Inu... yasha... "She murmured, and then shut her eyes. Inuyasha lifted her slowly and carried her over to where Sango and Miroku were standing silently. Miroku couldn't look him in the eyes as he bent over Kikyou to tend to her wounds. Sango was standing behind Miroku, looking nervously at Inuyasha. After a few minutes Miroku looked up. "She doesn't look too good. She has a head wound and her arm is cut in several places. I also suspect it may be broken." He raised his eyes to Inuyasha's but looked down again. Inuyasha could feel Sango and Kagome staring at him, their eyes burning through his soul. They must think of me as some kind of monster. He couldn't take it. He looked around him, and fled in the direction of the village. Anywhere was better then there. When he reached the village he was out of breath and feeling even more alone then he ever had before. He sighed, and looked at the slowly setting sun. How did the evil form take over him so quickly? It used to be only in a life or death situation. He couldn't be around people if this is how he would react. That would mean he wouldn't have to make the decision that had led him to becoming full demon in the first place. Inuyasha sat perched on a rooftop looking sadly into the sunset.
He heard a familiar voice and turned toward its source. Kaede stood looking at him. "What bothers thee child?" She said her voice soft. Inuyasha grunted. "So you are still alive, old woman?" Kaede smiled. "Will you not tell me what troubles you?" Inuyasha frowned. "It's about Kikyou..." Kaede nodded. Inuyasha looked uncomfortably her. "I...I went full demon. I lost control and... Hurt Kikyou." His eyes clouded with shame as he recalled that moment. Kaede looked seriously up at Inuyasha. "Why did you run?" Inuyasha clenched his teeth. Kaede didn't understand the way they were looking at him, what he was sure they were thinking. He couldn't bare the words that were sure to come had he stuck around any longer. He didn't want his companions of so long say the thing he would bet would have come out of their mouths. Instead, he ran. "Go back" Said Kaede, as if she could tell what was going on inside Inuyasha's mind. Inuyasha frowned, and jumped from the roof.
He looked back at Kaede, who gave him an encouraging smile before disappearing into the shadows.
