Blood, he smelt it everywhere he went. It was all he thought of. He craved for it, longed for the taste of it in his mouth. Inuyasha had gone fully insane by now thanks to Kikyos ranting inside his head. With eyes tinged crimson with madness the half demon lunged at anything In his path. Ripping the flesh from the bone and lapping up any blood he could find. It was a sad sight. Once a good person then turned insane, fueled by the thirst for blood. One persons blood in particular, Kagomes.
Discarding another corps to one side Inuyasha turned his nose to the wind and breathed in deeply. He smelt her, he wanted her, and he would have her. The crazed hanyou would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. "Mine..the fox will die who has her.." With a snarl of hate Inuyasha lunged at a poor village boy and ripped him apart before heading on his way again. His thirst for blood not yet sated. 'Good Inuyasha. Do not worry you will get her.' Kikyo was of no help either, driving him on while slowly growing stronger inside his head. The dark priestess had figured out a way to go back to the world of the living, at the price of Inuyashas life.

Not far off Kagome was bathing Shippou and herself in a spring. Youko had said he would go and hunt for their next meal. Leaning back against one of the spring's rocks Kagome looked up at the sky and wondered why everything had happened as it had. At one time yes she had loved Inuyasha but now it was nothing more but a fleeting memory at the back of her mind. Closing her eyes the human turned yokai took in a breath and relaxed herself. Things weren't so bad it's just she regretted the fact that her and Inuyasha couldn't at least be friends.
She missed Sango and Miroku too and wondered if they were indeed safe or if Inuyasha had gotten to them. 'No they would have ran or killed him.' Kagome shook her head to clear such thoughts out of her head. Looking over at Shippou she smiled. Yes there were things worth living for and her pup was one of them. Blushing the vixen also remembered the kiss she had shared with Youko. Her soul felt complete when she was with him. She liked him yes but she didn't know if it was love or not yet.

Shippou wanted to play so he splashed his mother. "You can't get me mamma!" The pup squealed and tried to swim away but it was of no use. Kagome soon caught him and started tickling him. "I got you." Both of them were laughing too hard to notice the insect that was spying on them. It was one of Narakus Insects. With the information gathered that it needed it flew off unnoticed by the pair.

Naraku had noticed that there was something new in the air. That is why he had sent his insects out to see what it was. One of his insects had returned not long ago with some rather interesting information. The miko had been turned into a lovely fox. This both peeked his interest and confused him. How had a priestess turned into a full-blooded yokai without the help of a jewel?
Naraku had heard of an ancient spell that could turn anyone into the yokai they would have been if born so. This angered the hanyou. How had he not found this spell but the miko did? Why must he be tormented with the fact that he was still only a half-breed and some human had gotten what he wanted so badly. With narrowed eyes and a sadistic grin Naraku formed a plan. He would catch the miko and bring her here then bleed her until she told him where and how she had gotten the spell. Laughing darkly the hanyou got up and went in search of Kanna.

The lord of the west was not happy. His face was emotionless as usual but on the inside he was seething. The legend that he was told so many times when he was little was becoming history. It foretold of a miko becoming yokai and either destroying the world or saving it. What got him mad though was the fact that this legendary miko was traveling with Youko Kurama the best thief of all the lands. Sesshoumaru knew that there was a key to setting off the mikos powers for either redemption or destruction and he believed that Youko was the key to destruction.
If he set her off in anyway it was good bye world hello Kami or akume for all the people on this planet. Either way did not sit well with him. He had too many plans to die now, he had not yet begun to live yet. Why must he, Sesshoumaru always be the one to know of these things first and have to set things out right? First it was Inuyasha and that sword of his. Oh he had never wanted the sword for himself he was just trying to teach the mutt how to use it. With a heavy burden on his shoulders the lord of the west retreated to his study to try and solve this problem. This was not going to be easy.
