Chapter 9
Hanyou Too!
Inu-Yasha stood in front of another of Naraku's castles gasping, with sweat dripping down his face. The poison was spreading quicker than he'd expected. Inu-Yasha winced and stumbled forward. 'I've got to find Kagome.' Inu-Yasha thought.
"So, Inu-Yasha, you have made it. Welcome..." Naraku's voice echoed from the castle. Inu-Yasha looked up at a chimpanzee costume on top of a building.
"Naraku, where's Kagome?! Don't tell me she's not here, I can smell her all over!" Inu-Yasha yelled up to Naraku.
"You want her?" Naraku asked. The door from a building just in front of Inu-Yasha opened and some one walked out. Inu-Yasha turned his attention to the person.
"Hu?" Inu-Yasha breathed.
The figure was a young woman with her black bangs hanging over her eyes, hiding them from Inu-Yasha's view. "Ka—Kagome?" Inu-Yasha whispered. The grey speckled ears on the top of the girl's head twitched in his direction at the name. Inu-Yasha blinked. She smelled like Kagome, and was wearing Kagome's school uniform, but something was different. Kagome's blood almost smelled part demon.
"Inu-Yasha, you don't look well." Naraku mocked. Inu-Yasha growled and glanced up at Naraku before looking back at Kagome.
"Kagome, is that you?" Inu-Yasha called. Naraku laughed. Inu-Yasha ignored him as he walked carefully up to the girl. "Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked again, he bent his head down to see if e could catch her eye.
'Dog.' Kagome thought as she caught the scent of Inu-Yasha. Kagome pulled back suddenly and snapped her right hand across Inu-Yasha's chest. Inu- Yasha jumped back as Kagome crouched down on the ground. Inu-Yasha stared as Kagome slowly lifted her head to turn her black and red eyes up to him. Kagome hissed and flicked her long grey tail around slowly as she watched Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha stood planted to the place he stood.
Kagome growled and flexed her claws into the dirt. "What's wrong Inu- Yasha?" Naraku asked with a laugh. Inu-Yasha growled up at Naraku.
"What'd you do? What did you do to Kagome?!" Inu-Yasha yelled. Naraku laughed again. Inu-Yasha crouched down and began to jump up to the rooftop of the building Naraku was on, but as he left the ground, a flash knocked him out of the air. "Kagome," Inu-Yasha breathed as he pinned him to the ground. Inu-Yasha could see a blankness in Kagome's eyes as she brought her arm up above her head, ready to strike. "Kagome! Don't you recognize me? Don't you know who I am?" Inu-Yasha asked, hurt and worry in his eyes. The blank look left Kagome's eyes for a second, but returned once she blinked.
Inu-Yasha pushed Kagome off of him quickly—as she brought her hand down toward his chest— and jumped away. He crouched down on the ground; watching Kagome. His vision was beginning to swirl and his movement was slowing down. Inu-Yasha blinked, trying to clear his eyes.

Kagome crouched down, ready to jump at the part dog again. She watched his movements carefully, waiting for an open opportunity to strike.

"Inu-Yasha!" Miroku called as he came running up the road, Sango and Shippo ridding on Kirara's back at his side. Inu-Yasha turned to look at them— and Kagome saw her opening.
Kagome jumped on Inu-Yasha, knocking him backward. She pinned him to the ground, digging her claws into his shoulders. "Inu-Yasha!" Miroku called when he saw this. Inu-Yasha tried to scramble out of Kagome's grip.
"Kagome..." Inu-Yasha said as he pulled his legs up and kicked Kagome off him. Kagome rolled over once, caught off guard, before jumping to her feet. Inu-Yasha climbed to his feet as fast as his poisoned body would let him.
"Inu-Yasha!" Miroku said again (Man Miroku must like Inu-Yasha's name!) as he ran up to the hanyou. Inu-Yasha was breathing hard, sweat was dripping down his face, and he was bleeding a lot from the wounds in his shoulders.
"The poison..." Inu-Yasha gasped, not taking his eyes off of Kagome who was pacing back and forth. Miroku looked at Kagome, her red eyes flaring with a lust for blood.
"Inu-Yasha, is that Lady Kago—" Miroku started, but Inu-Yasha cut him off.
"Can you cure the poison, Miroku." Inu-Yasha said only half paying attention. Miroku nodded as he glanced around the castle; he could sense Naraku. "Now." Inu-Yasha added.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Kagome walked back and forth, watching the new arrivals. What were these things? She knew one was a dog, she had encountered them before, but the other's scents were unfamiliar. "Kill them all." Naraku's voice echoed in her head. Kagome jumped and then crouched close to the ground, looking all around her for the source of the voice. "Kill them now." Naraku ordered. Something clicked inside Kagome's head to make her loose all question about the voice and follow its command. She charged at the weakened ones of the group.
