Chapter 10
Inu-Yasha...?
Inu-Yasha jumped sideways and tackled Kagome, knocking her out of her charge toward Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. Inu-Yasha stumbled over his own slow feet and fell with Kagome to the ground. Kagome rolled onto him and bit down on his shoulder. "Hey!" Inu-Yasha said as he pushed Kagome off of him.
Miroku ran at Inu-Yasha as the Hanyou climbed to his feet. "Here." Miroku said as he handed Inu-Yasha a small leaf. "Eat it." Miroku explained. Inu-Yasha took the leaf and swallowed it without question.
Miroku jumped back as Kagome jumped on Inu-Yasha again. Kagome brought her arm back, aimed to cut Inu-Yasha's throat, but as she snapped her arm forward, Inu-Yasha kicked her over his head. Kagome's outstretched claws caught Inu-Yasha's left cheek as she flipped over forward.
"Damn." Inu-Yasha said as he flipped up to his feet. (You know like they do in all those movies ^__^) Inu-Yasha could feel whatever Miroku had given him taking effect; he could move a little better, and his vision was almost clear.
"Inu-Yasha!" Miroku called. Inu-Yasha glanced at him, not going to make the same mistake of letting Kagome out of his sight again. "If that is Lady Kagome, you must not harm her." Kagome charged. Inu-Yasha jumped over her head with a forward flip, and landed crouched down on the ground, facing Kagome's back again.
The Hanyou knew he couldn't hurt Kagome, he couldn't even if he'd wanted to, she was to precious to him. Inu-Yasha jumped sideways as Kagome came at him again. After all, she had stayed by his side when he had become "full" demon.
"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha said as both of them crouched low to the ground. Kagome's ears perked up at her name. "You have to fight it, fight him." Kagome began to relax her mouth, drawing her fangs back. "That's it, don't let it control you." Inu-Yasha said. He could see the blankness begin to leave Kagome's eyes. "Come back to me Kagome." Inu-Yasha whispered.
"No, kill him! Don't let your guard down, he wants to kill you." Naraku said in Kagome's head. The Hanyou backed up with her hands clutching the side of her head. "Kill him." Naraku said firmly. Kagome dropped her hands and looked at Inu-Yasha, her fangs bared again.
"You can't... hurt me... you can't... kill me..." Kagome said. Inu-Yasha pulled back in surprise, Kagome's voice sounded so different... so demonic. Kagome ran at Inu-Yasha, her claws outstretched.
Inu-Yasha caught and held on to Kagome's wrists as she tackled Inu-Yasha to the ground. Inu-Yasha could see into Kagome's eyes as she tried to pull out of his grasp; the complete blankness had not returned. 'I might still get through...' Inu-Yasha thought. "Kagome, listen to me." Inu-Yasha said to Kagome. "You know me, you know I won't hurt you." Inu-Yasha tried. Kagome's struggling became weaker.
"Don't listen, he's a dog, he lies." Naraku said in Kagome's head.
"Kagome..." Inu-Yasha said softly. Kagome slowly stopped struggling all together. Her fangs drew back into her mouth, and she fell backward into a sitting position. Inu-Yasha sat up and moved forward so he was sitting in front of Kagome. "Kagome?" Inu-Yasha whispered; he knew she could hear him.
The hanyou looked up into Inu-Yasha's eyes. "In— Inu-Yasha?" She mutterd.
