Chapter 2
Kagome Finds Trouble & Inu-Yasha Gets It

Ok, I' was just told that I should "disown" any character(s) I did not create myself, so that's what I'm doing. I do not own Inu-Yasha (No matter how much I wish I did) :grins evilly: I also do not own Kagome or any of the other original character's that might end up in this chapter. I do own Tsukaiyata and one other demon that is going to come up soon. (I just don't know her name yet!) Well, I know I kinda left the last chapter at a cliff hanger, so on with the story!

"No, Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled as he ran to get in front of Kagome. Inu-Yasha jumped in between the danger and Kagome, using his back as a shield, just as the blaze reached him. The force of the blow sent Inu-Yasha and Kagome flying into the street. Horns blew and a car screeched to a stop just over Kagome and Inu-Yasha's heads. "Are you alright Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked lifting himself off Kagome as high as the car on top of him would allow.

"Yeah," Kagome said opening her eyes. She winced as she moved her head a little.

"Good," Inu-Yasha said as he used his back to push the car off of her. The woman inside the car fainted as the car moved under her and she saw Inu-Yasha appear from under it. Kagome scrambled out of the way before Inu-Yasha dropped it again. "Now I have to go kill a demon." Inu-Yasha said as he turned around and took a step forward. Kagome yelled his name as he fell to one knee again. "What the Hell...?" Inu-Yasha mumbled as a wave of what felt like fire ran down his back.

"Inu-Yasha, are you alright?" Kagome asked. Inu-Yasha got back to his feet.

"Stay back Kagome." He growled running at Tsukaiyata again, his claws outstretched. Tsukaiyata smiled.

"Finally, some fun." The youki said as he showed his claws as well. Inu-Yasha slashed out at Tsukaiyata who blocked the straight forward attack. Tsukaiyata smiled at Inu-Yasha. "Are you having fun?" The youkai asked. Inu-Yasha's growl turned into a low roar as he pushed off Tsukaiyata.

Kagome watched as Inu-Yasha charged Tsukaiyata again. 'Why isn't he using Tetsusaiga?' Kagome wondered. She looked around to see Tetsusaiga, back in its rust old sword form, lying on the sidewalk across the street. Kagome glanced at Inu-Yasha and Tsukaiyata fighting before she ran across the street.

Inu-Yasha blocked another of Tsukaiyata's blows with his forearm as he watched Kagome run across the road. "Wrong way mutt," Tsukaiyata said slashing quickly across Inu-Yasha's chest. Inu-Yasha jumped back so only his shirt was ripped by Tsukaiyata's claws. Inu-Yasha glared hard at Tsukaiyata as his firerat shirt and white under shirt fell off his body to the ground.

"Damn you." Inu-Yasha growled. Tsukaiyata smiled his all knowing smile again.

"I grow tired of playing with you." The youkai said. Inu-Yasha crouched down, a low growl growing in his throat. Tsukaiyata flexed his claws in front of himself and made a small flame appear in his palm; that smile still on his face.

"Stop that!" Inu-Yasha said in annoyance as he charged Tsukaiyata. Tsukaiyata continued to smile; almost like he thought of Inu-Yasha as nothing more than a small child playing with him, instead of the pissed off hanyou that Inu-Yasha was.

"Inu-Yasha," Kagome said quietly as she made her way back across the street; back over to the two fighting. Inu-Yasha pulled back and away from Tsukaiyata. "Inu-Yasha, here!" Kagome shouted. She threw Tetsusaiga at Inu-Yasha as he turned to her. Inu-Yasha turned back to Tsukaiyata as the Tetsusaiga fell into his hands.

"Now you're dead." Inu-Yasha said as the Steel Fang transformed in his hands. Inu-Yasha could see and smell the Wind Scar form as he took aim at Tsukaiyata. Inu-Yasha struck the Wind Scar, causing the full force of Tetsusaiga to be released. Inu-Yasha stood poised, waiting for the smoke to clear. Inu-Yasha knew Tsukaiyata had been struck by Tetsusaiga and was dead, he had felt it. Inu-Yasha just wanted to make sure; after all, he had survived being hit by Tetsusaiga once.

The smoke cleared, showing nothing more than a pile of rubble from the extra power of Tetsusaiga.

Kagome ran over to Inu-Yasha. As she put a hand on the hanyou's shoulder, he dropped Tetsusaiga and jumped sideways. "Arugh!" He yelled. Kagome looked at him with her hand still in the air where it had just been resting on Inu-Yasha's shoulder.

"What's wrong Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked.

"Don't do that!" Was his reply; then quieter, he added, "It hurts." Kagome put her hand down, not hearing Inu-Yasha's added comment, and walked to her hanyou friend's side. Kagome looked into Inu-Yasha's gold eyes. He pulled back in worry.

"You're hurt!" Kagome said, worry in her eyes.

"Hu?" Inu-Yasha wondered as he blinked. "Of course I'm hurt! Damn it, I just jumped in front of a fire blast that would have killed you if I hadn't protected you!" Inu-Yasha turned away and began mumbling to himself. Kagome stood with her fist to her mouth trying to fight back tears. Inu-Yasha had protected her again and had gotten hurt... again...

Inu-Yasha stopped mumbling and turned to look at Kagome. "What are you crying for? You're not hurt are you? Did you get hurt when I fell on you?" Inu-Yasha inquired, stepping toward her. Kagome shook her head.

"But you are." Kagome lifted her head. "You've got to go to the hospital."

"Humph, I'm fine." Inu-Yasha said walking away from Kagome, back toward the street. An ambulance was at the sight of the road block with its lights flashing. Kagome walked after Inu-Yasha.

"Inu-Yasha!" She yelled suddenly. Inu-Yasha looked over his shoulder as he walked.

"What!" He shouted back.

"Watch out for the—!" Car tires screeched, trying to avoid hitting the hanyou that had just appeared in the road. CRASH! "Inu-Yasha!" Kagome yelled as she ran to Inu-Yasha who was now lying on the street. "Inu-Yasha, can you hear me!" She yelled kneeling down at the hanyou's side.
