The Hard Truth
"Kagome, Kagome?" Miroku called waking her up. They had all went back to the village so Kaede could see to all their wounds. Kagome had stayed up all night watching over Inuyasha. Praying that he was going to be alright. She held his hand the whole time he was sleeping.
She opened her eyes and sat up, "Is Inuyasha okay?!" She yelled looking around the hut for him. He was gone, he was no longer in the room, and Kagome stared worriedly at Miroku, "Where, where is he?"
Miroku placed a hand on her shoulder and lay her back into her sleeping bag, "No need to worry, Inuyasha is up and on his feet. He's still injured but moble." He smiled and stood. "I'm guessing he's up in a tree somewhere." Miroku then grabbed his staff and walked out of the hut.
"How are yee, child?" Kaede asked walking into the hut. She was holding a bowl of soup for Kagome to drink.
Kagome sat up and rubbed her chest. Bandages were wraped around her but there was little pain. "I'm fine..." Kagome trailed off and remembered the night before. '"Kagome move!" was the last thing I heard before Inuyasha jumped on me. And all I could think about was, why isn't he changing? What's wrong with him? Then...'
"Kagome?" Kaede called holding out the bowl.
She looked up and grabbed the bowl. The steam rose into her nose, it was full of flavor once she took a sip.
"Kagome, tell me, is it true that Inuyasha did not transform back when he grabbed hold of the Tetsusaiga?"
Kagome took her last sip of the soup and set down the bowl. She took a deep breath and looked at Kaede. "I don't know what happened. He was supposed to return to his sane state when he touched the sword, but he didn't..." Kagome looked out at the morning sun, 'Inuyasha...'
"Tis odd. Has this ever happened before?"
"No."
"Tell me the whole story. I want to hear your version of the story."
Kagome explained everything. Start to finish and Kaede hung on her every word taking in every detail. "When I called his name, he then returned to normal."
"Aye." Kaede went over some of the details in her head. Then something crossed her mind. "Kagome."
"Yes?"
Kaede looked at her hands to think of how she would say this, "Yee had said that the sword was gone when you tried to find it, and when you relooked, the sword appeared?"
"Yes, I didn't understand that either."
"Tis very strange, the sword is the only thing that can control Inuyasha's demon blood. That would be the key in this whole battle."
Kagome cocked her head to the side, "What do you mean?"
Kaede looked at Kagome with deep concern. "Do you think that Naraku did something to the Tetsusaiga to ensure that Inuyaha will turn demon everytime he does battle?"
Kagome gasped and widened her eyes in shock. 'No, it can't be true...' Kagome stood and looked out of the hut and back at Kaede. "But Kaede, if that is the case then the next time Inuyasha fights, he will be stuck as a demon!" She was in shock, and didn't know what to do.
"Calm down child!" Kaede spoke as she rose. She put her hands on Kagome's shoulders and looked her deep in her eyes. "This is only a question that doesn't have an answer. We do not know if its true or not."
Kagome wanted to run to Inuyasha and keep him from anything that might want to kill him. "But, but, what if it is true; how will we know?"
Kaede dropped her head and shook it. "We all will find out in his next battle."
Kagome stared at her incredulously, "No, Inuyasha..."
^.~
"Sango, what do you think about what happened last night?" Miroku asked walking up behind her. He then (as expected) rubbed her behind.
"Damnit Miroku!" Sango swung around and slapped him.
Miroku frowned and rubbed his cheek. "Sango, I was only trying to comfort you." He whined.
Sango boiled with anger, "That was hardly comfort." She then sat down on a log.
Miroku leaned against a tree across from her. "Inuyasha's transformation didn't occur, and I think Naraku is behind this." Miroku said seriously with his eyes closed.
"I was thinking the same thing."
Miroku opened his eyes and looked up in the sky, "I senced him when I was looking for the Tetsusaiga. He must have planned Kagura to disarm Inuyasha so that he could do his dirty work on the sword."
Sango looked down at her feet. "I don't understand, why would Naraku want to make Inuyasha a demon?"
"Its simple, Inuyasha will kill, and keep killing until he gets killed. Naraku wants Inuyasha to die the easy way, and he wouldn't have to lift a finger." Miroku sat next to Sango and placed his hand on top her folded ones on her lap. "We have to be careful with who we fight. I'm afraid that we and Inuyasha aren't safe if he is to encounter another opponent."
Sango flushed and looked up at him. She saw the care in his eyes, she could feel what hatred he felt towards Naraku and she could feel his hand stroking her thighs. "Grrrrrr, MIROKU!" She grabbed her boomerange and knocked him a few feet away from her.
"Stupid lecherous monk!" She mumbled as she walked back to the village.
^.~
In the forest of Inuyasha and hanyou lay in a branch of a tall tree. He was staring in a daze at his claws.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha had been thinking about what Miroku had told him about the fight. Even the part about why he had attacked Kagome. 'Damnit Naraku, you always have something new up your sleeve! You've did something to my sword, something that will cause me to turn demon if I'm in a fight. grrrrrrrrr!' "CURSE YOU NARAKU!" Inuysha yelled jumping to his feet. He jumped out of the tree a took a walk.
He reached the God Tree and sat under it. 'Kagome... I could have killed you. I hurt you... I, I hurt you.' Thinking that scarred him deep. He had attacked her and almost lost her for good. "If Naraku never did whatever the hell he did to my sword, you wouldn't be hurt right now!"
"Inuyasha?" Kagome walked up behind him.
Inuyasha stood and turned around. 'She's alright, but...' Inuyasha could see the bandages at the base of her neck.
Kagome let a few tears fall and then ran to him, "Inuyasha!" Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. "I thought you were gonna die." She mumbled, holding back her tears.
Inuyasha slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on the side of hers. "I'm fine Kagome, I'm gonna be fine." He said kinda of passionately but still calm.
Kagome removed her arms and wipped her eyes. "Inuyasha, your sword... its..."
"I know." He cut her off.
"What?" Kagome looked at him a little dumbfounded. "How did you..?"
"The monk told me. He told me that his guesses were that Naraku had planned to do something to my sword so that I would no longer stave off my demon blood in battle." Inuyasha had a tint of anger in his tone. "I don't know if there's any way to reverse this..." Inuyasha looked back at the God Tree with sadness in his eyes. "I don't think I can fight back my blood everytime, like I did last night." Inuyasha turned back and looked at her with the same sad look, "When I heard you, I beat it back."
Kagome grabbed his hand with both of hers and said, "I don't blame you for what happened last night, it was Naraku's fault. And don't you think other..." Kagome let go of his hand and walked passed him and the tree.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked walking up behind her.
"A shard, a shard is comming." Kagome said lowly.
Inuyasha growled and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Kagome turned and placed her hands on the one he had over his hilt. "Don't, I don't wan't to see you turn back into a killing machine!" Kagome yelled about to cry.
Inuyasha loosened his grip and looked at her a little annoyed, "What are you saying? That we should run!" Inuyasha grabbed her hand and said, "I can hold off my demon side. I'll be okay."
"But.."
"No Kagome! Go back to Kaede's and get Miroku and Sango!"
Kagome did something she didn't expect she would do, she rubbed his hand against her cheek and then ran towards the village.
Inuyasha looked at the hand she carressed. "Kagome..." He regained his focus and waited for what was comming. Soon a sickle came towards him through the tree's. Inuyasha jumped out the way and thought, 'Kohaku!'
Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagura and Kohaku come down from Kagura's feather.
"Not you again!" Inuyasha yelled to Kagura.
She merely laughed and opened her fan, "This time it's not me you're fighting, its him." Kagura pointed her fan at Kohaku standing in front of her. "Can you really kill the demon exterminators little brother?" Kagura teased and smirked. She then flew up into the sky and observed.
'Damn, Naraku is a real bastard! Send out him to fight me! I can't kill him...' Inuyasha stared at Kohaku walking towards him with his sickle in hand. "Damn you Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled as Kohaku attacked.
^.~
"Hurry you guys, Inuyasha could transform if we don't get there soon!" Shippo yelled on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome had found Sango at Kaede's and Miroku laying unconscious under a tree. They had all raced towards the God Tree when they heard Kagome's news.
"I don't know what he was thinking, going off and fighting when I told him what could happen! He's just so stubborn sometimes!" Miroku said with anger as he ran ahead of the rest of the group.
"I don't know how long he can keep himself under control in a fight. It'll be hard concentrating on defending your self and controlling yourself." Sango said as she ran up next to Kagome.
Kagome had panic and desperation on her face, 'I should have stayed, he shouldn't be fighting like this!' "We have to hurry, Inuyasha still is wounded." 'Hold on a little longer Inuyasha.'
^.~
Inuyasha pulled out the Tetsusaiga and gaurded himself from Kohaku's attacks. 'Damnit, it's getting harder and harder to fight off my blood. I have to hang on a little longer, Miroku and Sango will hold off Kohaku so that my demon blood will stay at rest.' Inuyasha thought but he then got hit on the shoulder.
"Ahh!" Inuyasha's eyes flashed red and he fell to one knee. Kohaku took advantage of this a striked but Inuyasha held up his sword for protection.
He was breathing hard, he was getting tired from the fight and controlling his demon blood. "Where are they? Huh?"
Kohaku grabbed the Tetsusaiga with his chain and flung it away.
Inuyasha's eyes were flashing red continuously. 'It's getting... too..." Inuyasha breathed out and fell to both knees with his head down.
"Kohaku!" Sango yelled as she saw her brother walking towards Inuyasha.
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha on his knees. "Please, no... Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha raised his head and opened his red eyes. He stood and smirked, "Hahahahahahahaha!"

CLIFFHANGER! I'm sorry I just had to do that *innocent smile* don't worry I'll make sure to update soon since i've done this ^.~
Well as you can see, It gets even harder to control his blood when Tetsusaiga is no longer with him. That's why Inuyasha transformed. Plus he was too tired to hold it off anymore. Lemme put it in math terms.
[Tetsusaiga cant hold off blood=Demon blood taking control (Inu fighting+trying to hold back blood=tired) Tetsusaiga away from him+tired=demon Inuyasha!]
Did that make any sence? O.o hehehehe
Next chapter: the conclusion of Kohaku and Inu's fight, and decisions on what to do about Inuyasha!
