A.n: Thanks to getting me to the 40 mark! I wanted that so I will continue and not leave my audience in wonder and question.

Please let me know what you think...look under my profile page (also includes spoilers for this story!) Enjoy this chappy!
The arrow sped closer and Inuyasha was helpless...
Inuyasha closed his eyes and accepted his fate of being killed by another woman he loved, but he felt a small twinge of pain across his cheek and nothing more. Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw Kagome frozen in place, with the bow still in the same position. He touched his cheek and felt a warm, thick liquid trickling down his face. He realized it was blood and that Kagome had missed him.
Kikyou's eyes widened and she glared at Kagome with hatred.
"Why did you miss him? You were right on target!"
Kagome slowly lowered the bow and turned around to Kikyou. Kikyou shook her head slowly and backed away from her. Kagome looked back at Inuyasha and smiled a little. Inuyasha saw something flicker in her eyes and he got confused. The dark energy around Kagome started to disappate and turn pink. The jewel shards in her forehead popped out and Kagome walked over to Inuyasha.
"Kagome...are you..."
"Yeah...it's me. I'm fine now. My powers-I think...purified the jewels."
Inuyasha nodded and turned back to where Kikyou was, but she was gone and in her place stood Kagura.
"So...Naraku's plan didn't work. Well, it was for a while there, but your miko powers are no match for power of the jewel."
Kagura laughed and Inuyasha pointed Tetsusiga at her with malice.
"How dare you try to brainwash Kagome into trying to kill me! You'll pay for this, Kagura."
Kagura smiled with pleasure and raised her red and white fan. Inuyasha put the Tetsusgia in attack position and Kagome picked up the arrow she had used against Inuyasha.
"But, Inuyasha...it wasn't me who kidnapped Kagome...it was Naraku. Why should I get blamed for something I didn't do?"
Kagura had a mocking voice and Inuyasha picked it up. He knew she had no involvment with Kagome's kidnap, but she still was Naraku's incarnation. She was still him and that was the only reason Inuyasha needed to kill her.
Kagura's wind blades rolled towards Inuyasha and Kagome and Inuyasha stuck out Tetsusiga, blocking the blades from Kagome.
"Why don't you worry more about yourself, Inuyasha and not some mortal girl!"
Inuyasha growled and raised Tetsusiga over his head.
The tiny wind swirls wrapped around the blade and the wind scar erupted from the tip, sending yellow streams on energy speeding towards Kagura.
Kagura swiped with her fan and did her "Dance of the Dragon" which blocked the wind scar from reaching her. She then did it again, but at Inuyasha. He dodged the swirling winds and Kagome released her arrow straight into Kagura's arm.
The swirls of wind died down as Kagura stood frozen and eye widened at the duo. She took the feather from her hair tie on her head slowly and it expanded around her. Kagura floated up into the sky without another word and floated away.
The castle around Inuyasha and Kagome started to disappear and so had Kilala. Kagome looked around and spotted Kilala in the air with Sango, Miroku and Shippo on her back.
"Kagome!"
Kagome her Shippo's little voice wail through the air and she smiled weakly up at them. Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusiga and went over to Kagome.
"Are you sure your okay?"
Kagome looked at him blankly and nodded. Inuyasha could sense that something was indeed wrong. He pulled Kagome over to the side and looked into her eyes. She gave him a questioning look, but he saw something more there...a great deal of pain.
"Kagome..."
"Listen, I just need to go back to my time...I need to get some sleep, sleep in an actual bed. I just need to be home right now."
Inuyasha nodded and helped her up on Kilala. Shippo tranformed into his big floating pink ball, then Inuyasha and Miroku rode on him, while Sango and Kagome rode on Kilala.
Sango looked down at the ruins that used to be the castle. She wondered if Kohaku had been in there before Naraku had left. She wanted to ask Kagome, but thought twice about it. They arrived back in the village about an hour later and Kagome didn't say one word to either of them, she just started to walk the way to the well. Inuyasha followed her while the others stayed behind with Kaede.
Halfway down the path, Kagome stopped and sighed out loud.
"Inuyasha...I want to be alone-"
"I can't be alone with you?"
Kagome smiled and nodded tiredly. Inuyasha dropped down from the trees and looked with concern at his Kagome. She on the other hand, did not look him in the eye.
"What's wrong, Kagome? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?"
Kagome was silent and she started to walk again, but slowly. They walked together in silence and Inuyasha wanted to take her in his arms so badly, but he decided it wasn't the best time. It seemed she didn't even want to be around him. The silence was heavy and it was making him uncomfortable.
"I-I...uh...I didn't mean the things I said, you know that...right?"
Inuyasha nodded and tried to get Kagome to look at him, but she turned away when he tried to see her face.
"I feel awful about it, Inuyasha. The jewels had put pictures in my mind...memories that weren't real, but-but the feeling were. The hurt that had ripped through my heart was real and now I can't seem to forget it."
Inuyasha stopped and grabbed Kagome by the shoulders and he saw the tears in her eyes. His heart broke into a thousand little pieces.
"I know you didn't mean anything you said, Kagome. It was just the power of the jewel shards, that's all. It was the power of Naraku and you know the things he can make people say and do..."
"I know...but, I can't shake the images that he put in my head...the terrible memories and words that he made you say. He literally defiled my brain...my heart. I just-I just need to go home."
And with that Kagome ran to the well and jumped in left a confused and heartbroken hanyou
in her wake.
