Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha.


Kagome sat outside the hut. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her headon her knee. Strands of her black hair blew into her face. Annoyed, Kagome brushed the strands of hair and pulled them back behind her ear. Her cheeks were red and puffy from all the crying she had done. She had no thoughts, just her solitude.

She looked out on the sky. The sun was in the middle of the sky by now. It was about noon. Clouds had swirled and turned into stunning colors of purple.A cold harsh wind began to blow. A storm was coming. Kagome could tell; she could feel it. She felt the moistness of the air from the falling rain, miles away. She could hear the thunder booming in the distance. She saw the weaving path of lighting hitting the ground.

Slowly, Kagome stood up. "Keade," she rasped. Her voice was low and it was hard to hear, let alone understand.

Keade peered out of the small window in the side of the hut, her old, withered head stuck out of the window. "Kagome, is there something troubling you?"

"Yes," Replied Kagome. Her tone was so cold. It seemed that all the warmth in her usually happy peppy voice had disappeared.

Keade hurried out of the hut. She face was full of worry. Had Kagome seen InuYasha? The elderly woman rushed to the young teenager's side. "Kagome, do ye see him. The evil, fiend InuYasha?"

Kagome seemed calm, this worried Keade. Kagome took a deep breathe. "No," she plainly stated. "Sillly Keade, InuYasha is not evil. He'll come to me and say he's sorry and everythnig will be alright. Keade was now even more confused. Kagome must have gone crazy with all the grief she kept inside herself.

"If it is not him, then what is troubling ye?"

Nonchalantly, Kagome responded, "Its going to rain soon, I, I mean, we should warn the villagers to be prepared of the heavy winds."

Keade was now angry with this young miko. How could she think about a stupid storm at a time like this? InuYasha is in a very dangerous condition right now. He could come running through this village anytime, ripping apart anything that stands in his path. After some careful thinking, Keade realized that Kagome still does not believe that InuYasha had betrayed her.

Its too painful for her, Keade thought. She still loves him. She then felt sorry for this girl.

"Kagome," Keade said, putting her hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Please listen to me, cause I know ye do not want to hear it." She paused for a bit and took a deep breathe. "The InuYasha you knew is not here any longer.He's a full demon and he will kill you, if given the chance. " Again, the old priestess paused. This time she looked to see Kagome's reaction to what she had just said.

Kagome's eyes told the story, they were full of hurt and anger. Her breathe quicken as she realized the reality. Quietly, she whispered, "He's not coming back." She turned to face Keade. "I understand. I'm the only one that can stop him."

Kagome rushed into the shelter. When she came out, she was holding her bow and arrows.


Meanwhile, Miroku was busy tracking InuYasha. He was prepared to fight him to the death. Whatever it would take, Miroku would do it. He wanted to get revenge for his lost love Sango.

Only equipped with Sango's small sword, Miroku trudged through the dense forest brush. He heard the thundering of the upcoming storm. He kept his ears open in case of any sign that would lead him to InuYasha. Finally, Miroku came to a clearing, there he saw InuYasha standing under a tree. Nothing could prepared Miroku of what he saw next.

The full demon InuYasha was definitely evil. He looked like a creature from hell. His red kimonos were ripped from the blade of Sango's sword, which Miroku held tightly in his right hand. They were also soaked in the young exterminator's blood.

Miroku stopped and the two glared at each other, for what seemed like hours to Miroku. There were silence among them. Until...

"InuYasha!" Miroku screamed, pointing the sword at his chest. "I will kill you!" The monk lunged toward him.

Annoyed, InuYasha rolled his eyes. This monk was only a pathetic mosquito compared to his great power. "What a waste of my time," He sighed.

When Miroku was close enough, InuYasha hit him with a full blast of his poison talons right in the chest. He laughed at seeing the pain of his former friend's pain.

Miroku staggered back away from the demon. The poison had melted his robes in the front. They revealed his chest wound, which was bleeding profusely. The venom from InuYasha's talons was preventing his blood from clotting.

Like Sango, Miroku arc his back in absolute agony. His inside organs began to rot and desiderate. He coughed hard and pieces of his lung caught in his throat, causeing him to choke. This no pain worse then this. Miroku thought. Is this how Sango died, in pain and alone? A tear trickled from his eye and onto the ground.

As the toxin traveled through his veins, Miroku looked up at InuYasha. "You are a demon." He cursed. "May you rot in hell!" A little blood trickled from his mouth. His blood shot eyes narrowed in immense hatrd.

InuYasha was unaffected by this, in fact he laughed. He took this as a compliment and he bowed to the dying monk. "Why thank you, I do hope that I'll be seeing you there." And with that, InuYasha thrust his claws through Miroku's heart. Another of his friends were dead.

Miroku closed his eyes, never to open them again. He saw visions of his friends in happier times. The first time that hemet Kagome. The time that he held Sango's hand. And the time he gave InuYasha and Shippo love advice. His memories focused on the lovely Sango. They way her hair flowed in the wind. They way her eyes glared at him every time he had touched her butt. Even the pain of her hand slapping against his face. Perhaps he would be with her, his sweet Sango. Forever would they be together.
