Kagome's P.O.V.

My body went blank and my body rigid as I felt his power. I knew who it was before I saw the silver of his hair. In the background I could her Inuyasha inhale sharply, but paid no attention to it.

All I was focused on was the demon lord standing before me in all his horrible glory. For a single moment I wondered what it would feel like if I were free but that thought was vanquished quickly when another bout of extreme pain raked through my body.

Gasping I knelt down and clutched my arms around my body. To the ones I traveled with I knew it looked like a gesture of submission. However that was not so and He knew it, unfortunately Inuyasha did not know this.

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

When I felt my brother's presence, an uncontrollable fury built within me. When Kagome collapsed to the ground in submission to him, I lost was little self control I still possessed. So I did the first thing that came to mind, I attacked.

Of course my brother had expected this and countered with his green acid whip. I was just able to block it and jump out of the way. Luckily my friends had the sense to back away.All thoughts about exactly what would happen if I lost was released from my mind as I jumped in the fray. My mind was just about gone. If I kept this up I knew that I would transform into my alter ego. Vaguely I heard a voice call out to me, but I ignored it as my sword was batted from my clutches. In that instant I transformed fully and this time there was no going back.

Sango's P.O.V.

Everything happened so fast that I couldn't make sense of it. Kagome was on the ground gasping in pain and Inuyasha was fighting, what I assumed to be his brother, the Lord of the Western Lands. What I couldn't understand was why he was here.

My attention was drawn back to the battle and I realized with horror what was happening. Inuyasha was transforming and there would be no turning back if he did. I tried to call out to him, but it was already to late. He was lost to us.

Miroku's P.O.V.

As Inuyasha transformed I looked toward Kagome. She was panting in what I assumed to be pain. I realized that she was not in a position of submission, but Inuyasha hadn't and was now fighting a futile battle in which there was no hope. He had lost his mind and now would lose his body. My attention strayed to the battle and then back to Kagome as she was saying something I could just barely hear.

My eyes widened as I realized what she was saying and it was most definitely not a good thing. She was invoking blood magic, the most ancients of all magics and the most dangerous. There was definitely more than met the eyes to this young women.

Suddenly she looked up and my blood froze in my veins as I saw her eyes. They were blood red.
