Inuyasha growled with intense angry and confusion. No one could make him sit! No one other then Kagome. This wolf demon must have some how stolen Kagome's powers, maybe her very soul! Inuyasha's heart stopped for a moment at the thought of Kagome's soul being trapped with that demon, as many others had with Kikyo... He shook his head, trying to clear it. This demon was his enemy and she was headed straight for Kaede's villege, he had to stop her! His inner voice tried to reason with him, asking him if he'd ever felt threatened by the demon female the whole time they were together. He ignored it. There would be time to think later, This demon was up to something!

Kagome quickened her pace, swiftly decending apon the village and calling for Kaede. Most of the villagers ran to hide from her, and kagome knew why...She felt sorrow at the lost of her body. Of her old life. But now wasnt the time to mourn. Now was the time to help Inuyasha.

Kagome ran straight into Kaede's hut just as the old woman was exiting. Her shock at seeing a strange demon flying at her didnt approch more then an 'Oh my', as if Kagome were just a stray puppy looking at her as a source of food. Kagome's fear had been that Inuyasha would attack Kaede's hut to get to her but fortune was on her side and Kaede stopped him at the door with a sacred binding scroll. As Kagome turned to look around the room, for she had been looking at the door, she spied Sango and Miroku staring at her, one in fighters stance, the other looking as if she were seeing something she never thought she'd see before. Kagome smiled at the demon fighter and the monk, saying a soft, " Hey guys...." before she finally fainted from shock and lose of energy. She was caught by Sango, whom whispered a welcome back and told Miroku to stop being prud and help her. He readily replied, gentally lifting Kagome's limp body and carrying her to rest on a soft bed on the right of the fire.

Outside, Inuyasha growled and tried to break the binding scroll on his forehead. He cussed and cursed at Kaede, telling her she was saving the holder of Kagome's soul, saying she was nothing but a grave robber. Kaede shook her head and walked inside, leaving Inuyasha on the ground to be cooled down by the slight drizzle that had just started. He cursed every person in the village, yelling for one of them to get the ddamned scroll off him or by the heavens he'd destroy every last one of them. Noone payed him any heed, nor did they release him from the scroll's power. His anger vanished to dispare and fear. Kagome's soul hadn't been set to rest...That monster his friends were protecting held her captive. Inuyasha laid in the rain, his mind wandering to the pain and fear her spirit might be feeling, not having the blessed, painless afterlife to comfort her. The thought of Kagome suffering broought back Inuyasha's anger ten fold and he started screaming again.

Kagome opened her eyes and sat up, looking around Kaede's hut. At first, she wondered where everyone was. Sango or Miroku always stayed at the hut with her if Innuyasha wasnt there. Inuyasha! Her mind's eye flashed through her awakening to being a wolf demon, Inuyasha being beat up by Kouga, running from Inuyasha... Kagome looked down at her clawed hands and tears sprang into her eyes. Inuyasha...She'd lost him forever now. Kagome's heart shattered. Inuyasha was so far away from her now, she was sure she'd never hold him again. But why? Why was he so angry with her? She'd doonenothing wrong to him...Had she?
