Kagome Pov

I waited for the others to fall asleep before I made my way deeper in the forest to think. I couldn't believe all of the things that had happened, almost everyone I held near and dear are gone.

Hiei, Yukina, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Yokaru are the only ones I've known for a while that are still alive. And now Naraku almost killed Hiei! That bastard, he knows how to hit a sore spot with me. I pet Yokaru as I pondered these thoughts. I heard a rustle in the bushed and I prepared to strike with my staff, which was powered by my increased powers.

"Come on out!" I yelled. I heard a chuckle and out came, "Inuyasha!" I ground out.

"You still remember me?" he joked. "Heh, you think you can beat me with a staff?" he asked. When Midoriko had visited me in my dream he had already betrayed me.

Yokaru growled as he grew to in size, only to be a bit taller than Kylala in her large form. Inuyasha growled.

"It seems that no one has succeeded in killing you. Pity, I guess I have to kill you myself then." He flexed his claws and charged at me. I dogged and thwacked him with my staff. "Wench." He growled. I dogged him again; I noticed that tetsiuga wasn't there anymore!

What would keep his demonic blood in check? I started to panic. He took that moment to land a few blows, one of them deadly.

I cried out in pain hopping someone would find me. At least I would be free of my pain, I smiled. 'Figure this one out Inuyasha.' I thought as I drifted into darkness.
