Crimson Regret

Disclaimer- I own nothing of Inuyasha or the series. I simply own the story line.

Note- Hi, guys! Thanks for reviewing, all of you!

Summary- What if Kagome had demon blood deep within her body and no one knew about it? What if, that blood just suddenly emerged without so much as a warning? She would kill and team with her worst enemy, that's what. (Starts off with her as a demon)

This story is going to be very short, maybe five or six chapters at the most. But, I hope it is good and you like it!

Here it is, hope you enjoy! Please remember to review for me! Reviews make me very happy.

Chapter 3

"Inuyasha, how could you?" Sango demanded acrimoniously, almost on the brink of tears. The half-dog demon snorted and turned his head away as he sat with his arms folded across his chest. He had just finished explaining what had happened between himself, Kagome, and Kikyo.

"Haven't you figured it out, yet, you idiot?" Sango shrieked, "She loves you! Can't you see that?"

Inuyasha said nothing. He did not even lift his head up to look at the woman lecturing him.

Sango sighed in irritation, "She loves you and you protected Kikyo, so now, she thinks that you don't love her! Stop trying to be tough, hiding behind your lies and act like you do not love her! Swallow your pride and tell it to her face!"

Inuyasha scooted back at her sudden outburst of energy, his ears pinned flat against his head, "Shut up, wench!" He cried, "You're hurting my damn ears!"

"I'll hurt more than that if you don't go and tell her right-" Sango was saying, but Miroku grasped her hand and interrupted her calmly, "What she means is, Inuyasha, that Kagome is in a rage and jealousy is pushing her to kill. Maybe a little apology would not hurt and would perhaps make her feel a lot better."

"So, are you trying to tell me what to do?" Inuyasha asked, narrowing his eyes at the monk.

"No," Miroku answered, "I am simply stating a suggestion of what I think is right."

"Well, since she is on a killing spree and her anger is directed at me, do you really think I'm gonna go up to her and try to apologize? No! She'll rip my throat out in a heartbeat!" Inuyasha shouted, leaping up and running off, leaving his friends behind.

"Miroku…" Sango murmured in a shaky voice, "What do you think will happen now?"

"I do not know, Sango," Miroku said softly, "I honestly do not know. Only time and fate will tell at this point."

Inuyasha was sitting in a tree, thinking over the past few days and the events that had taken place. He had no idea of what to do. Kagome had changed, and wanted to eliminate Kikyo from the picture, but he would not let her and probably jumped to the conclusion that he loved Kikyo more than her.

Now, driven by jealousy and hate, she was murdering unmercifully.

He was not only worried about Kagome and the villagers she slaughtered, but he also wondered what would happen to their journey now that she had had this dramatic change.

Sighing, he leapt down and ran off to try and find her. Maybe Miroku was right…maybe a little apology would work.

"So, girl, you come here and wish to become an ally of mine and I am supposed to accept your hospitable offer, why?" The dark-haired man said as he eyed the female demon suspiciously as she stretched, showing a long, bloody gash on her side.

"Because," She said as she wracked her tongue over her sharp fangs. "I am no longer with Inuyasha and the group, if that is what you are nervous about, Naraku."

"Are you sure you are not tricking me, woman?" Naraku asked skeptically, "Kikyo was always tricky, and since you are her reincarnation, I have every right to be unable to trust you."

"The reason I am here, Naraku," Kagome replied with a smirk, "is because I wish to kill Inuyasha myself. And, if possible, slaughter Kikyo, too."

Kagura was standing behind Kagome and, after hearing this bit of information, looked surprised. "Kill Inuyasha? For what reason?"

"I have my personal reasons." Kagome replied, turning to stare into the wind sorceress's red eyes. "Reasons that I plan to keep to myself."

Kagura simply let out a 'humph.'

"Well," Naraku said, "I think we have ourselves a new helper. You can stay here as long as you like."

Kagome smirked evilly. "Thank you."

He and Kagura left, leaving Kagome alone. She sort of looked around a little bit, interested in his castle. Nothing was there, however. She flicked more blood off of her claws and leaned up against the wall. Suddenly, a searing pain tore through her head. She grasped it in pain and tried not to cry out as to not attract the attention of her new teammates.

No! How could you team with him? We are supposed to be destroying him, not helping him!

No, I am helping him. And you will be, too, because I control you. I control your every action, everything you say.

But, I am the one controlling your feelings right now, am I correct? You feel the same way about Inuyasha as I do, but you are trying not to show it by claiming that you want to kill him.

Shut your mouth! Leave me alone! Get out of my head! I will get rid of you one day, human. And you will never return. And I will kill your helpless friends and there is nothing you will be able to do about it. Only Naraku and Kagura and I shall rule with the all powerful, complete, Shikon No Tama!

No! Please, stop! You do not want to do this, and I know it. You still love him and you always will, no matter what.

No, he despises me! He proved it when he saved that wench, Kikyo.

That was just instinct acting. He always saves her against demons. We are no different.

Maybe not you, but I am different. I would kill him in a heartbeat, human.

The human Kagome said nothing for a long time and instead, tried to break through and gain control of her body once again. The demon cupped her hands over her temples and tried not to shout from the pain. The human was very strong and was able to regain control.

She lifted her hands and saw now claws, felt no fangs. She was normal and the gash in her side was in excruciating pain. She grabbed it and began looking for a way out, the demon tearing at her mind, trying to be released.

No, she told her firmly, I am not letting you back out! You will not control me again.

I will get out again, human. You can only keep me away for so long before finally, you are weakened and I gain absolute control!

Kagome slid open a door and ran outside into the foggy air and began to run as fast as she could. She had no idea where she was going, but did not care. All she wanted was to get away from Naraku's castle and, if at all possible, get away from her demonic side.

But that was not possible and she knew it.

"Inuyasha…" She called out weakly. "Inuyasha, help…"

A little ways off, Inuyasha was looking for Kagome and had picked up on her blood. His dog-ears suddenly heard someone calling out his name softly. He realized that it might have been Kagome, so he raced off in the direction in which he had heard it.

Once there, he saw her, stumbling toward him, her side bleeding profusely. "Inuyasha…" She murmured, trying to walk to him faster.

"Kagome!" He ran forward and caught her as she fell. She lay in his arms, dizzy and light-headed from loss of blood. "Kagome, what happened?"

"Inuyasha…" She wanted to tell him how sorry she was about everything, but the demon side in her was gaining the upper hand and she felt as if she could not hold on any longer. "Run away…."

"What? I'm not going to run away, are you crazy?" Inuyasha demanded, brushing hair out of her face and examining her wound.

"Please…" She paused and took in a sharp breath before saying in a cool, calm voice, "Well, hello, Inuyasha." Her eyes changed red again and her claws and fangs returned. She tried to slice Inuyasha across the chest, but he dropped her and leapt back just in the nick of time.

"What's the matter?" She asked with an evil grin. She lunged at him, slashing him across his chest. He grunted out in pain and landed a few feet away from her.

Kagome rose to her feet, crimson blood dripping from her claws.

No! Stop it! Don't kill him! I know you don't want to.

The demon stopped her actions and growled. Wench, get out of my head! I must kill him now!

No, you don't have to. Please spare him! I am begging you! The human suddenly started to try and take over her body once again. The demon, in anger, looked and Inuyasha and said, "We'll finish this another time. I have unfinished business to attend to." With that, she turned and sped off toward Naraku's castle, leaving Inuyasha behind…
