Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
I just want to say thank you too ALL of my reviewers. I try to reply to them all on each new chapter, but I'm sorry if I missed you! And we finally made it too a hundred reviews! W00t! In honour of making 100 reviews, I started writing this chapter as soon as I read them all, and although I was trying to update all of my stories before I went camping, I decided to update this one a second time, because you guys (and gals) put me in such a good mood!
Jerick: I'm glad you liked it! (I feel so loved) lol

Truest: That means a lot too me, thank you. I'm glad that it turned out different. I actually never bothered to figure out a plot or anything, the chapters come to me randomly, mostly late at night lol. I still don't know whats going to happen in the end, but we shall find out! (And yeah, that is pretty awesome. Just take the 'e' out of your name and we have the title of the story...)
tanya: Thanks!

blair: Um, heh...I'm a little confused. Do you think I should make a sequel once this is done?Or did you think it was over? lol
Avian Dincht: I'm going to continue it for a bit longer. Like I told one of my reviews earlier, I haven't decided how many chapters this is going to be (If thats sounds snippy I'm sorry, it isn't meant to be).
SailorKat: Hmmm, you could be right. Your idea gave me an idea, you'll see what I mean soon enough.
Windwarrior29: Thats the whole reason why my friends wouldn't stop bugging me. They told me it was sick and wrong because the story I wanted to write was a Sess/Kag. Don't kill me and stop reading my stories though! I've come to my senses and the story no longer exists!
Neracio: I know eh? My moral boosts are awesome! lmao. I know I shouldn't have, but still. The story is gone, but, look on the bright side. Now I only have THREE stories to update regularly! -groan-

Recap:
"Although every word I said was true, I was also trying to get you to come back. Kagome loves you, your the only person who can get her back to normal. But theres one thing that your going to have to get back from her."
Inuyasha blinked again, confused. "What's that?"
"Trust."
Trust
Chapter 16- What If?
Sango brought Inuyasha back to Miroku's house. Miroku had gone grocery shopping with his mother, and his father was at work. They had just set Inuyasha's bags down at the front door, when a scream ripped the air.
Sango and Inuyasha raced up the stairs, heading for Kagome's room; where the scream had come from. There was only one thing that confused Inuyasha, and made him hesitate at her door. The scream hadn't been a scream of fright; it had been a scream of anger.
Another scream of utmost rage made Inuyasha open the door. What he saw shocked him beyond belief. Sango pushed past him and was utterly stunned as well.
Naraku, finally doing his dirty work for once, was standing on the foot of Kagome's bed. Kagome herself was backed up against the headboard, standing as well. That wasn't what shocked them though.
Kagome looked livid. She had one finger pointed directly at Naraku and was currently yelling at him.
"You! You ruined my life! You made the one I love take off!" she screeched furiously.
"If he loved you he wouldn't have left." Naraku sneered, Kagome's face twisted into utmost loathing for the person infront of her.
"He left to go after you!" Kagome blurted out before she could stop herself.
"Hmmm, is that so?" Naraku murmured.
"Yeah, thats so! And I'm back and ready to kick your ass!" Inuyasha yelled at Naraku. Kagome, her eyes still blazing with hate, turned to see Inuyasha and Sango in the doorway. Her expression softened at seeing her best friend and her love.
Suddenly, Naraku's arm was replaced with a tenticle that shot straight at Inuyasha. Before Inuyasha had time to react, the tenticle had pierced through his chest and pinned him to the wall.
Kagome was angrier than she had ever been in her life. She no longer thought about anything, it was like subconciously she knew exactly what to do. She raised her arms horizontally straight out infront of her, pointing at Naraku with her palms.
A blue light surrounded Kagome's hands and slowly started to grow. Naraku turned his attention back to the livid girl infront of him. Upon seeing the blue light, he chuckled.
"What's that supposed to do wench? Turn me a different colour?" he started to laugh, then remembered what happened last time he saw that light. He mentally swore right before the engery shot right at him, blasting him right through the wall.
Naraku went right through the wall of the side of the house, then hit the concreate two stories below. Normally that wouldn't have hurt him, but the miko energy didn't stop there. It pinned him to the ground, and for a few moments all was silent. Until a blood-curdling scream ripped the air.
Looking over the edge of the hole, Kagome saw Naraku struggling on the ground, surrounded by her blue miko energy. He was thrashing around desperatly and screaming for all he was worth. Kagome then realised what was happening to Narakuwhen she saw a hole in his chest appear, then shrink, and fade.
The miko energy was making Naraku feel all the pain, both physical and emotional, that he had ever delt out. Naraku couldn't fight back, because everytime he tried to push the blue light off of him, his hands went right through it.
After a short amount of time, Naraku stopped screaming and his eyes closed. His muscles relaxed, even though the physical attacks still appeared, shrunk, then faded. After a few more minutes of watching him, Kagome turned her attentionback to the room.
Sango was kneeling infront of a lifeless Inuyasha. Kagome quickly ran over, the cold, heartless eyes that had watched Naraku suffering gone, replaced by warm, worried ones. She gently pulled Sango aside, then knelt infront of Inuyasha herself.
"I think I can save him, I need you to do me a favour though Sango." Kagome said, gently placing her hands on Inuyasha's chest.
"Sure, anything." Sango said.
"I need you to go outside and make sure Naraku has no pulse." Kagome said emotionlessly, preparing to do a major healing on Inuyasha.
"W-what?" Sango said, wide-eyed.
"Please, Sango. He's passed out, though the miko energy is still making him feel the blows he delt out. I need you to make sure that he has no pulse. Make sure he's dead. If he's not, scream and get the hell away from him." Kagome said. Sango nodded and left.
Kagome turned her attention back to the hanyou infront of her. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the energy she felt deep down. Since she was unexperienced and had no idea what she was doing, she merely pulled the energy out of her and prayed that it would work.
She pushed the energy into Inuyasha with all her might, her eyes still closed. After a few moments, she felt him stir. Continuing to pump energy into him, he suddenly sat up and gasped air into his lungs. Kagome unprepared for his sudden movement and for her hands to be removed from him, fell backwards. A shot of energy hit the roof and went straight through as she fell onto her back and didn't rise.
Sango came flying up the stairs and into the room, panting. "He's dead!" she said, although it was still hard to believe. Inuyasha payed her no heed and crawled over to Kagome's lifeless body.
"Kagome?" he called softly. Checking her pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief; she was alive.
Gathering her into his arms, he looked over to Sango. "We need to get her to a hospital, now." Sango nodded and went to the phone. She called an amubulance, and they went downstairs. Kagome's chest rose and fell, slowly. Inuyasha just prayed that she would be alright.
The ambulance arrived shortly afterwards, and both Inuyasha and Sango climbed into the back. The ambulance workers checked Kagome over, gave her a few needles, and did some other things that confused both Inuyasha and Sango.
After what felt like days, they arrived at the hospital. Kagome was rushed into ICU, and Sango and Inuyasha were told to wait outside. Sango shakely sat down in a chair while Inuyasha paced restlessly.
After about 10 minutes, Miroku's parents and Miroku arrived, all three looked shaken. Inuyasha explained what happened, with Sango filling in the parts where he was knocked out. Miroku's parents did a lot of nodding while Miroku sank into a chair next to Sango.
They didn't have to wait long before Kagome was transferred into a different room. Once she was settled, a doctor came in looking grave.
The doctor sighed and rubbed his face with a large hand. "I'm afraid I only have bad news." he said solemly.
"Which is?" demanded Inuyasha. The doctor looked at him, startled, before continuing.
"I'm afraid that Miss Higurashi here is in a coma." he said sadly. Sango and Miroku paled. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. She looked as if she were sleeping. A thought that Inuyasha did not want to know the answer to came to his mind.
'What if she never wakes up?'
