Dizziness was beginning cloud his vision. Inuyasha stopped and put his hand to his head. He wasn't feeling well. Damn, Myoga! But he was almost there and maybe, just maybe, this feeling in his stomach wouldn't be true. The thought of Kagome dying…he shook his head again and continued to run, ignoring the pain and ignoring everything else around him. He wanted Kagome in his arms again. She had helped him. Because of her, he was human again. Because of her, he had his humanity back; his mother was once again part of him. Running up the hill that led to the Well, he stopped. In front of the link to his world and her own, Kikyou stood. Her arms were crossed and her black hair danced across her face. Her quiver was on her back and her bow was on ground behind her. Frantically he looked around for Kagome, he didn't see her. Did she even run into Kikyou? Sango was right outside the hut, why didn't he ask her what way Kagome went? Maybe she wasn't even here, and he had walked into another trap.

Uneasy wind swept through the grass and trees. Inuyasha again scanned the area and looked at Kikyou, her eyes were closed. Then, as if she felt his gaze upon her, her cold eyes shot open and stared at him. Inuyasha felt her gaze upon him. It was like ice. Quickly his gaze fell to the ground. Her stare was like ice going through his veins.

"You! Mortal! I am waiting for Inuyasha. Are you not he?"

"I am Kikyou, what is it you want?"

"To take you to Hell, so we can finally be together," Kikyou began to advance down the hill. Inuyasha found himself backing up. "Inuyasha? Your hair…and your eyes? What has happened to you?"

"Nothing Kikyou. Tonight is the night I become a full human. This is what I would have looked like had I used the Jewel and became human. If we had…not been betrayed. Where is Kagome Kikyou?" Inuyasha glared at her.

"I was afraid that you would no longer come with me because that wench had given you a reason to stay on the Earth realm. So I killed her, now we can finally be together in Hell, forever," Kikyou walked down the rest of the hill and was soon standing in front of Inuyasha. He swallowed hard and shivered slightly as Kikyou's hand touched his face. Like ice…Inuyasha tried to push her off of him, but she wouldn't move.

"Kikyou, why did you kill Kagome?" Inuyasha was finding it hard to keep his rage in check. "Where is she Kikyou?"

Kikyou looked up at Inuyasha with a dazed look in her eyes. It was almost like a part of her had fallen somewhere. She looked into his angry violet eyes. Her brown ones closed and her lips found his own. Inuyasha's eyes widened. After a short while, she pulled away.

"Inuyasha? Have you not longed for my lips against your own? Why do you no longer kiss me back?"

"I-…" Inuyasha was cut off when Kikyou kissed him again. Feeling himself feel dead inside, he found himself responding to her kiss, even though he didn't want to. He felt Kikyou now had a hold over him, and could make him do whatever she wanted him to do. It was like he was trapped inside his mind. Whenever he told his body to release Kikyou, it wouldn't respond. Kikyou had cursed him.

"K-Kikyou, l-let him go," a faint whisper far over in the bushes must have broken Kikyou's concentration, because Inuyasha was now able to release himself from Kikyou's ice like lips. Inuyasha pushed himself off Kikyou and followed the faint voice, praying that it would be Kagome. He saw her walk out from behind a large tree. Her body was bent forward, like she was carrying something heavy on her back. That's when Inuyasha noticed the arrowhead sticking out from behind her. Inuyasha moved forward. He looked at Kagome's almost closed eyes. She was deathly pale and there was a small amount of blood from the corner of her mouth. She suddenly fell to her knees and Inuyasha ran and caught her before she fell. Her arms were over his shoulder and her nose was in his neck. Carefully wrapping an arm around her, he felt Kikyou come upon them. He looked up. Her eyes were narrowed and held no emotion to them. Again her arms were crossed at her chest and her lips were in the form of a scowl. With Kagome on her knees and the rest of her leaning against him, Inuyasha could do anything. He couldn't reach the hilt of his sword. It may not transform tonight, but maybe he could, no that wouldn't work. His eyes darted across the territory they were sitting in. Maybe if he slung Kagome over his shoulder, they could escape. But then they would have to run the risk of Kikyou shooting an arrow at them.

"Why? Why do you go to her?!" Kikyou yelled

"Because, she has done more for me then you ever have!"

"I was going to bring the Sacred Jewel to you! I died for you! We could have been happy together! I could have lived a normal life! We could have had that life together, if you only became human!"

"That's it right there! You died hating me! But you wanted to change me! You weren't happy with me being a half demon! You wanted to USE me!" Inuyasha yelled back. "Kagome doesn't! She's happy with me being, human or half or full! She DOESN'T CARE!"

"Don't you see?! I killed that girl because she doesn't belong with you! I do! What about all those promises you made to me?! Were you lying to me?!"

"No I'll avenge your death by killing Naraku, but I WILL NOT go to Hell with you!"

"How dare you…I'll kill that impudent little bitch right now!" Kikyou began to get closer to Inuyasha who was still holding Kagome. He tightened his grasp on her, ready to fight the undead Priestess if need be. Then he saw Kagome's arm extend out. Kikyou stopped. Kagome still had her head on Inuyasha's shoulder, but her arm was out. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, but she did not more. Perhaps she was unconscious and didn't know what she was doing. Kikyou must have thought the same because she grabbed onto Kagome's arm and pulled. Inuyasha held on tighter. Kagome, he thought, you have to wake up soon, because I can't get a hold of Tetsusiga! Then he heard Kikyou yell. Looking up at her, Inuyasha was surprised to see her holding her hand in pain. Her gaze then shot at Kagome again who was still out cold. Using her other hand, she once again grabbed Kagome's wrist and instantaneously let go. Blood now dripped from the open wounds inflicted upon by an unconscious girl. Inuyasha didn't understand what was going on.

Kagome's eyes shot open. Pain entered her body and she gasped. She was hurting, but her head was on Inuyasha's shoulder. Black hair. Kagome grinned. It must have worked. Inuyasha was human! Hot pain in her back. Right, the arrowhead, it was still there. Kagome turned her attention to Kikyou who was still there. Kagome now realized that her arm was extended. What was going on? Blood was on Kikyou's hands. Had she done that? She felt Inuyasha turn to look at her and she blushed. Kikyou was a mere five feet from them and he had chosen to stay with her

"Bitch! I'll kill you for that!" Kagome widened her eyes and shoved Inuyasha out of the way. Summoning all her strength, Kagome stood up and grabbed a hold of Kikyou's wrists. Kikyou screamed in pain and managed to trip Kagome with her foot. Kagome fell on her back and cried out in pain as the arrowhead dove further into her flesh. Kagome rolled onto her side and gasped. It hurt so much to breath. She heard Inuyasha unsheathe Tetsusiga and he held it out in front of him. He stepped in from of Kagome.

"Beat it Kikyou," was all Inuyasha said. Kagome could tell that he was beyond angry and his eyes were narrowed. Kikyou stood outnumbered. What could she do? Leave, now was no time to be foolish. She would come again. Again with an ally, she would make a pact with Naraku. Kikyou smiled and her dead eyes danced with death. She called her Soul gatherers and felt them wrap themselves around her body. She was going to need more souls to heal.

"Wait till you see what I plan to do when I exact my revenge against you and that bitch!" Kikyou yelled, "It will kill you both!" With that said, Kikyou disappeared into the moonless night.

Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusiga and knelt down to Kagome, who was still on her side trying to get air into her lungs. Kagome's eyes followed Inuyasha as he knelt down in front of her. Still breathing heavily she winced as Inuyasha picked her up. On her knees with her arms over his shoulders and her head once again in his neck. Inuyasha was one knee and he felt Kagome breathing on his neck, she winced and clutched his haori underneath his hair.

"Kagome I gotta get this arrow out of your back," Inuyasha began to rub her back

"O-okay, it hurts," Inuyasha blushed a bit as he moved down her back. He secured a grasp on the arrow. She gasped as more pain shot through her. Inuyasha began to pull on the arrow but Kagome stopped him.

"It hurts when you do that! Pull it out faster!" Kagome cried and tried hard not to cry. Inuyasha began to pull it out again and Kagome clenched her teeth. "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha yanked harder on the arrow, but could still not see the head. Finally as he pulled harder a flash of pure sliver was seen.

"Wait I can nearly see the head Kagome!"

"Hurry!" Yanking hard on the arrow it finally came free, and Kagome was breathing very heavily. Tossing the arrowhead aside he looked into the sky. It was too easy to get rid of Kikyou like that. She was scheming something; he knew it, but what? When he felt Kagome clutch his haori again he looked down at her back. The small hole there continued to gush blood. At that rate, he was afraid that she wasn't going to make it. Kagome is a strong girl; I know she'll make it. Inuyasha stood up and pulled Kagome with him. He was still feeling sick. Yet he could still feel a small trace of demon blood in him. Keh! Probably to make sure I'm a half-breed, this will be interesting in the morning.

"Okay come on Kagome, on my back, now!" Inuyasha ordered. He gasped as he felt Kagome fall onto his back. Weakly she moved her legs so he could grasp them and moved her arms around his neck. Standing up and shifting her slightly, Inuyasha began to walk quickly with Kagome on his back. Sliding down the hill and walking quickly, Inuyasha kept an eye open for danger, though he didn't know what he could possibly do to protect them…to protect her. His eyes travelled to the girl resting her head on his shoulders. Her eyes met his and she smiled. Quickly turning his gaze ahead of him, he blushed. He had always had Kagome on his back when he was a half demon, and it never really bothered him, he liked having her on his back. But now that he was human again, his emotions were out of control. He hated it.

"Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"Thanks…" he felt Kagome snuggled her head into his neck, causing him to blush once more

"For what? I didn't really do anything…"

"You came to find me…and when she was there, you didn't leave me to go to her…so thanks," Kagome whispered

"You're…welcome,"

"Inuyasha…my back hurts," Kagome closed her eyes

"We're almost there Kagome, just hold on…" Inuyasha wasn't going to let her die on him, not a chance. Walking into the main gates, Inuyasha got stares from the few remaining villagers that had decided to remain awake. Whispers started and that aggravated him. Couldn't help but stare huh? I swear of there days I'm just gunna rip out their-…

"Just ignore them Inuyasha," Kagome whispered then smiled. He heard her sigh as Kaede's hut came into view. He walked up to the cover for the door and saw the dim orange glow of the fire. Brushing past the cover he slipped in side.

Sango looked up to see Inuyasha carrying Kagome. She gasped when Inuyasha set her down near the fire. Inuyasha sat down next to her and she leaned her head on his shoulder. Sango didn't understand. The two had grown very close over what happened to Inuyasha over the past month. Sango continued to watch as Inuyasha as he brushed the bangs from Kagome's tired eyes. She glanced over at Shippo who was asleep and she smiled It was for the best.

"Sango, where's Kaede?"

"Asleep why?" Sango looked over to Inuyasha

"Damn it all! Look it's a long story, Kagome was shot with an arrow and she needs it to be treated, think you could?"

"Of course Inuyasha, gimme a sec,"

"Where's Miroku?" Inuyasha stood up. Kagome looked up at him tiredly, he bent down and cupped her face in his hands. She smiled and nodded.

"Miroku?" Sango called over she shoulder, " I think he's outside. Why?"

"Cuz I'm joining him. Sango?"

"Ya?" She returned with supplies and sat down near Kagome

"Take care of her," Inuyasha walked out

"I will Inuyasha, I will," Sango whispered

Inuyasha never found Miroku. Growing weary of looking for him he returned to the hut. Glancing at the sky, he guessed that it had to mid morning. He grinned. Soon the sun would rise, and hopefully render this curse once again useless. Walking inside he found Sango asleep on her side and Kagome on her back a few feet to her left. Miroku was there too. Strange, he must have come in when Inuyasha was out looking for him. Inuyasha silently walked over to Kagome, who sat up when she heard him.

"Inuyasha!" she whispered when he sat down beside her. He pulled her into his lap and she smiled.

"You feeling better?" he whispered back.

"Ya I took an aspirin a while back, it's really helping," Kagome said. Inuyasha had no idea what and aspirin was, something undoubtly from her time that was to aid in healing. He felt Kagome yawn in the darkness and he smiled

"Get some sleep Kagome," Inuyasha tightened his hold on her waist

"The morning will come fast, then you'll be a half demon again," she tucked her head underneath his chin. And found herself drawn in by the mystical call of slumber

When Kagome felt restless, she opened her eyes. She was back on the floor. Strange. She was sure she had fallen asleep in Inuyasha's lap. She blushed a bit and looked out the window. Sunlight peaked through, not a lot, but enough to hopefully provoke the demon blood to strengthen itself again. Kagome was jostled from her thought by rummaging to her left. She turned her gaze to find Inuyasha searching through her bag. He hadn't noticed her yet. What he did pull out was a jagged knife that Sango had used the previous night in order to cut some gauze because Kagome had misplaced her scissors. She saw Inuyasha roll up his haori sleeves and bring the knife over his arm. Kagome widened her eyes. He was going to cut his arm! But…why?

"Inuyasha! No!" Kagome hissed. Kagome widened her eyes. He was still human. But his hair was no longer the pure black it had been; it was lighter. Then she noticed him growling at her. Damn! Still human, with fangs? Inuyasha was human with fangs! No! Kagome thought!

"Inuyasha!" Kagome hissed and she tackled him. He looked surprised, but he continued to growl at her. She wrestled with him and grabbed a hold of his hand. Inuyasha stared at her and he pushed her off of him. Kagome managed to slip the knife out of his grasp as she fell. Rubbing the back of her head she looked over at the rest of the group to see why they weren't helping her. Gone! They can't be gone! She needs their help! She felt Inuyasha knock her from behind and she gasped.

"Gimme back the knife!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes

"Why are you doing this?" Kagome cried and she clutched the knife closer to her chest

"Cuz the Tetsusiga is too blunt," Inuyasha stood up and lifted up his sleeves. Kagome widened her eyes. His arm had cuts on them that were coloured crimson, however only some of them bled. Why was he doing this? Kagome looked Inuyasha over again. He was still human, but his hair it was more of a lighter black and he had his demon fangs.

"Please Inuyasha, tell me what's wrong? Why are you doing this?" Kagome tired to hold back the tears. She needed to be strong, for herself and…Inuyasha too. She saw Inuyasha close his eyes and sit down. Kagome slowly crept up to him; she saw his eyes open again. She saw fear and bitterness. Resentment too. Did he really hate this form that much?

"It's the demon blood," Inuyasha sighed, he saw Kagome walk up to him again.

"What's wrong? It didn't work?"

"N-no, I feel it, I know it's there," Inuyasha looked at his arm, dry blood and cuts. "But, the blood it's constantly churning, it's really painful Kagome. That's why, I thought if I was able to draw the blood, it wouldn't be so painful."

"Oh Inuyasha," Kagome sat down beside him and grabbed his hand. Inuyasha stared at her eyes, the gaze he received, confused him because he wasn't able to read it. There were too many emotions that danced across her bronzed eyes to pick them all out. He clasped his hand in hers and gave a weak smile. He could feel it, the demon blood, trying to strengthen itself out and even. He could feel the human blood not wanting to give in. That's what made it so painful. It felt like liquid fire running through his veins, a constant battle to even out the blood.

"Ah Lord Inuyasha, I can see that the transformation wasn't as fast as I had hoped," a voice on Kagome's shoulder, pried Inuyasha from his mind and he saw Kagome avert her gaze as well.

"Myoga!" Inuyasha growled. He felt the demon blood strengthen at his rage. In a swift motion, Inuyasha had Myoga in his fist. "You knew about this?!"

"Of course," Myoga said weakly

"Inuyasha let him breath!" Kagome's hand enclosed around his own. Inuyasha's face turned into a scowl and he let his grip loosen. "Myoga, is Inuyasha really a half demon again?"

"Yes," Myoga struggled out of Inuyasha's fist. "Unfortunately, the transformation will take a bit longer, only because the demon blood within Lord Inuyasha must re-strengthen itself."

"How long?" Inuyasha's hands disappeared in his sleeves

"Hopefully by then end of tonight," Myoga jumped on the ground

"Hey! Where are you going?" Inuyasha stood up

"I, have, well, business to attend to else where," Myoga darted out the door. Kagome also stood up. She appeared behind Inuyasha and sighed

"It'll be okay,"

"Hopefully," he muttered. However he could feel the strength return to him. His nose was becoming sharper, as was his hearing. He walked out the door. He didn't hear Kagome follow him. Good, because he wanted to be alone. He turned his direction to the forest of which he was named after. Glancing at the sun, he could tell it had to be late morning. It was going to be a long day.

He saw Sango sitting under the tree by the hut stroking Kirara's mane and Shippo was asleep in her lap. Miroku was beside her, his eyes closed. Probably meditating. He felt jealousy sting him. They were happy. They were going to have a family soon. Why was it easy for them and not for him? His demon side had wanted him to claim Kagome. But he, he didn't want to taint her. She was too pure. Half-breed. It didn't matter, she was too pure for him, she deserved someone like Koga, and at least he was a pure demon. Why did she pick him? Inuyasha walked up the hill to the God Tree and looked up. Like hell he was going to be able to make up there. So he settled by sitting on the ground. Hands disappeared and he closed his eyes. He had wanted to ask her, for the longest time. But he was afraid of the answer he would receive. Did she love him? He loved her and because of her strength, he was sitting on the fence again. Not truly a human, but not truly a demon. Caught in the middle. Tainted blood on both sides, yet she looked past all that, accepted him for who he was. Any form he took…but why? What had he done to deserve this? Should he ask her? What would she say? She was old enough now right? He thought harder. Thinking back on this situation, he cursed the Jewel and his thought of ever becoming a pure demon. Look how hard he had to fight to regain his sanity, to be able to control himself around Kagome and her powerful scent just to be able to be near her, to hold her in his arms. He loved her. But, she deserved someone better. He didn't know what to do. He had never felt these emotions when Kikyou was alive. Did he honestly care more for Kagome now? He thought back to the first time Kikyou had tried to persuade him into choosing the side of mortality.

"Become…human?"

"There is a way. It's true you are also half demon, but you are also half human, if you use the Jewel to become human, then the Jewel would cease to exist. I would be free of my duties and be able to live a normal life, a life with you…"

"I-I don't know,"

"We could live our lives together…"

That memory was so distant now. Faded along by Kikyou's treacheries and deceit. Her bitterness of him and of Kagome. Kagome, he knew it fuelled Kikyou's hate, because Kagome was replacing her in his affections. True, he would die for Kagome. The fire in his veins caught his breath and he opened his eyes. His nose was getting stronger, so was his hearing. He felt a top his head, no they weren't there, so he felt his human ears. They were pointed, that had to be a good sign. Leaning back again the tree again and closing his eyes, he thought about the past month. Like hell. How was it that sometimes his mind on focused on the killing of people and claiming Kagome, and the next minuet, he was able to think straight? Did he truly need her that much? He glanced down at Tetsusiga. The Fangblade. It did more then it was led to believe. How powerful was his father, and did he really love his mother that much? Why had his father entrusted the Fangblade to him when Sesshoumaru could have gotten it? The link to his sanity, there was much to his past that he didn't understand. Not that he cared or anything, it was more curiosity, that's it. Inuyasha gave a small yawn. This was going to take forever. He thought about last night. Kikyou, why did she escape? Plan? What plan? He would not let her kill Kagome though. Never. She was too important to him. But, why did he trust her so much? He trusted Kikyou didn't he? Naraku was right. He didn't. He understood now.

"Tell me Inuyasha. If you truly trusted Kikyou, then why were you so easily deceived? Had you truly trusted one another then that incident would have been nothing to either of you. You would have the courage to talk to one another, instead, she bound you to a tree…how pathetic,"

"Shut the fuck up Naraku. You tricked us,"

He had loved Kikyou, but not the kind of love he had for Kagome. He loved Kikyou out loneliness; he felt that Kikyou sort of had the same life he did. It was the only time he had loved another human, besides his mother. It was the first time Inuyasha had ever agreed Naraku. The relationship was, in reality, unloving. It was more a love of desolation. Kikyou never really loved him; he was only her tool in becoming a normal woman. That thought sickened him. He yawned again. Again he felt the fire in his veins burn. He leaned forward and looked at his hands, it was good to see that he claws had returned. Standing up and stretching he looked that the God Tree again. He could feel his strength doubling, so he decided to give it a shot. Staring up at the enormous branches he jumped up, feeling the demon surge through him he made it high up and settled himself on one of the inviting branches. It felt good to do that again. Stretching out on the branched he looked at the sky through the canopy of leaves and branches. The sun was ascending higher, afternoon would soon peak, then all he had to do was survive the afternoon hours, and then hopefully by nightfall, he would be himself again. He had done a lot of thinking these past hours, and he needed to talk to Kagome right away, he needed to ask her. He was nervous of her response. What would she say? He hoped the answer would be positive…he really loved her. Inuyasha turned on his side and felt his eyes droop. He yawned again and decided that maybe sleeping would help melt the afternoon hours away.

"Kagome, dinner is ready," Sango called. Kagome was staring out the window and didn't hear Sango calling her. "Kagome!"

"Hn?" Kagome blinked her eyes and turned to Sango. Her stomach had grown in the past weeks. It must be torture on her. Kagome smiled, but her reward will be so amazing. I hope it's a girl, for Sango's sake. Snapping out of her thoughts she meekly answered. "Ya?"

"Dinner is ready. Aren't you hungry?"

"I am Sango!" Shippo ran up and got a bowl. He sat down and smiled

"Actually, I was kinda worried about Inuyasha, I haven't seen him all day, I'll eat after I find him, and I hope that's okay,"

"Of course it is Kagome," Miroku said, "We understand."

"Okay, I'll see you guys soon," Kagome waved and exited the hut. Where should she start looking? Where else? The God Tree of course.

It no longer hurt. The blood crying in his veins, it had stopped. He opened his eyes. They weren't as sharp as they normally were. Perhaps his eyes were still violet in colour, he hoped that that wouldn't last much longer. Turning on his back he stared through the trees, night. Blackness greeted him. Night. He felt like himself again, normal. Well as normal as being a half-breed would allow him to be. That's when he smelt her. The sweet jasmine mixed with a hint of cinnamon. Good to see his nose was working. He heard her called his name softly. Good his hearing was working like normal too.

"Inuyasha…?" he needed to see her, so he jumped down from the housing branches and landed in front of her. She smiled at him. He stared at her and she merely shook her head.

"It really worked Inuyasha, are you okay?" Kagome moved towards him

Am I okay? She must have ment when he told her of the constant blood battle in his veins. "Fine," he answered

"Your eyes, they aren't golden," Kagome stated

"Probably change soon," Inuyasha sat down on the ground. He was happy when Kagome sat down beside him.

"I'm glad,"

"Thanks Kagome," Inuyasha looked at her

"For what?" Kagome answered

"For helping me become a half breed again,"

"Don't use that word," Kagome crossed her arms and stared at him

"What word?"

"Half breed, I don't like it, that's not what you are,"

"C'mon Kagome, honestly, that's what I am," blushed at her, he couldn't believe what she had just said

"No, you're a half demon, not a half breed, there's a difference," Kagome sighed, "It's degrading, you're a half demon."

"Fine, thanks," Inuyasha turned his gaze towards Kagome.

"I'm glad you're happy again Inuyasha," Kagome smiled and stood up. "Dinner's ready, come and eat."

No she couldn't leave, not yet. Inuyasha stood up with and grabbed her wrist. Kagome turned around with confusion in her eyes. Inuyasha moved forward and captured her in a hug. Kagome's eyes widened and she felt the heat rise in her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around him and smiled. When he finally pulled away he looked at her and she smiled. Grinning evilly he brought his lips to her own and heard a faint gasp escape from her. Seizing the opportunity his tongue went in her mouth and explored every inch of it. He felt Kagome break apart and he saw her flustered cheeks.

Kagome stared up at him. She couldn't believe what he had just done. She grinned as she found herself staring at golden eyes. But there was something in his eyes that drew her in. She could tell he wanted to ask her something; she needed to tell him first, she had been holding it in for to long now. But would he react the same way? He had to…Kagome took a deep breath and stated simply:

"Inuyasha, I love you," there she had said it. Well, what would the response be? He had to love her! He had to!

"I love you too Kagome," Kagome felt her heart melt and she went up for another kiss. Now was his turn to pull back first and Kagome stared at him. His eyes told her more. He wanted to have her; she could see it, in his eyes and face. Was she ready? To be his? She was old enough.

She felt his arm slip around her waist and tighten. His eyes pleaded with her, she WAS ready. Kagome nodded, then smiled. His eyes clouded over with mischief and grinned evilly. She felt him turn her neck to the side and felt his fangs brush over her neck. Feeling a little nervous she widened her eyes.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered

"I gotta mark you…so no one else can have you, to show you're mine," he whispered back into her neck. His hot breath sent a chill down her spine.

"Okay…won't hurt right?"

"For a second only," Inuyasha answered. He felt her nod. Good. He turned his attention back to her neck. Slowly his fangs pierced her neck and she gasped. Wanting to hurry, he brought his fangs down her neck, putting enough pressure to make sure it would scar. Small trails of blood ran down from the mark, so he used his tongue to clean up the blood from her neck and she moaned. She pulled away from him and her hand went to her neck. But he stopped her by grabbing it. He only shook his head. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him. Kagome leaned up for another kiss. His hands traveled from her waist to her middle where he proceeded to kiss her middle. She was truly his. No could take her away from him. He saw Kagome shrink down to his level where she brought his lips to meet hers.

"Miroku I'm kinda worried about Kagome, do you think she's okay?" Sango turned from the window and looked at Miroku.

"I'm sure she is fine. Remember, she is with Inuyasha, he will not let anything happen to her,"

"I guess you're right,"

"Come Sango, let's get some sleep, try not to worry," Miroku got up and help Sango sit down. "Good night Sango, I love you."

"Me too," Sango reached up for a kiss. When she received one, she lay on her side and stared at the ceiling. Finally feeling the call of sleep she gave in.

Almost there... I hope this helps! R/R plz
