Chapter 17

"Inuyasha go get Miroku, Sango, and her brother. Bring them here so that we can live in peace. Trust me Naraku won't get me while you are gone" Kagome took the hanyou's hand into hers.

"Just in case...I'm leaving you the sheath of Tetsusaiga to put up a barrier around you. No damn demon can get you without burning" Inuyasha took out Tetsusaiga and placed it's sheath on Kagome's lap.

"Thank you Inuyasha" Kagome smiled and closed her eyes to fall asleep.

"Shippou come with me" Inuyasha smiled and then his face expressed anger.

"Inuyasha what are we going to do? I don't like that look" Shippou cowered in fear.

"Shippou we are going to finish off the bastard for good" Inuyasha remarked and left the room throughout the window.

"Why do I have to come? I'm just a kid you know and what about Kagome. He needs her! Hasn't he figured that out yet?" Shippou thought out loud and followed Inuyasha.

Inuyasha and Shippou returned to the well and went right into it. Except they landed at the bottom and they didn't pass through.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha shouted.

"What happened Inuyasha? How come we didn't pass through?" Shippou asked.

"I don't know and if I knew I wouldn't ask what the hell!" Inuyasha slapped Shippou.

"Ow!" Shippou cried out and rubbed his head as he made his way back up the well.

"I got to get through!" Inuyasha began clawing at the ground.

Inuyasha began to panic and Shippou was having the same feeling. Even though they where thinking the same, Shippou was trying to make it better and try to come up with a solution to this problem.

"Inuyasha don't waste your energy. Maybe the well isn't working at the moment" Shippou concluded.

"I just can't do that Shippou! I can't fail Kagome now. I just can't, she needs me to do this so that we can live together. I'm not going to fail her no more" Inuyasha explained and continued his digging.

Inuyasha was full of rage and he just kept doing what he was doing. Shippou just stood there on the edge of the well looking down at the angered hanyou. Small cuts began to appear on his fingers and his nails began to bleed. He was just digging too hard. Blood began to stain the ground and the dirt was bloody. Stinging grew as he dug through the dirt and finally he stopped. His fingers felt like jello and they where bloody. Shippou shook his head and left the well's shrine to go back to Kagome. Inuyasha sat down on the bottom of the well and leaned against its stone walls. Hope was out of the picture and getting through this will like going through hell. Well at least for him but what happens if only Naraku can get through and they can't? Things where turning up but now they where turning the other way.

Inuyasha pounded the floor for the last time and then left. He figured beating himself up wouldn't help. Making his fingers bleed and sting and then getting bloody knuckles where even. They weren't serious, compared a whole through is gut.

"What are you up to Naraku? It must be really big if your blocking us from going back into the past" Inuyasha scowled and headed into the direction where the young fox demon went.

Back at Naraku's Lair:

"Hmm. Seems that Inuyasha is catching up on my plans already. How convienet. I know you are there Kajinoubo" Naraku signed.

"Damn. Your good" The demon from before answered and reappeared before Naraku.

Kajinoubo is a dog demon like Sesshoumaru's appearance with many talents. His hair is black with redness blended in. Muscular and wears a two piece kimono. The kimono is plan dark navy blue and is a nice fit without it being baggy. Except for the pants is a little baggy. His eyes are amber but a little darker then Inuyasha's eyes. Naraku is growing near for the completion of his new constructed body. A few more demons need to be consumed and then Naraku will be complete and be able to move about with his feet.

"Kajinoubo don't think about deceiving me because you will regret it and won't be able to pay for your mistakes. Any actions against my wishes, you will be consumed and will become apart of me. You do not want that. You are just lucky I don't hold your life in my hands like I had with my incarnations. They are dead because of Inuyasha and I was fortunate to escape" Naraku replied.

"You know I don't understand why you want me to kill that beautiful human girl. She is most fitted to be mine" Kajinoubo wondered.

"That woman resembles of a troublesome priestess that I killed 50 years ago or more. She is her reincarnation and holds her looks, powers, and pity for that half breed. Inuyasha is in love with both of them and it's pathetic on how he worries for both of them but what happens when he has to choose?" Naraku went about.

"What are you planning now?" Kajinoubo grinned hoping he wouldn't have to kill Kagome.

"What happens if both Kikyo and Kagome are in danger but he must choose the one who is going to live. If he chooses Kikyo, Kagome will die by the time he is done rescuing Kikyo. And if he chooses Kagome, Kikyo will parish once again from the face of the earth and she will die again" Naraku added.

"I thought you killed the wench so how come you speak if she is living and how is Inuyasha have to choose a dead person over a living person?" Kajinoubo said at once and then took a deep breath.

"Kikyo was soon resurrected after Kagome came along 50 years later from Kikyo's demise" Naraku implied.

"Well if I was Inuyasha, I would pick Kagome" Kajinoubo said and then began to walk away.

"Kajinoubo..." Naraku called after.

The dog demon stopped in his tracks to hear what the evil demon Naraku had to say.

"Capture Kagome and bring her to me. Inuyasha will defiantly follow and I'll even let him pass through the well" Naraku said and then the dog demon continued.

Back at the hospital:

"What are you doing here Inuyasha and Shippou? Ohmygod your hands...they are bleeding" Kagome said.

"We couldn't get through the well Kagome" Shippou answered.

'BAM!'

Inuyasha whacked Shippou in the head again.

"Inuyasha what is your problem?" Kagome yelled.

"I'm sorry..."Inuyasha mumbled.

"What?" Kagome couldn't believe her ears...well she could but she was still trying to get use to the new Inuyasha.

"You heard me!" Inuyasha burst and left the room.

"He's just angry because he let you down again" Shippou understood and didn't take the punch in the head personally like usual.

"I know but he didn't have to burst like that. He can at least talk to me like a person. He may be part demon but he can still talk like a human" Kagome explained and then faced the window.

A cold breeze entered the room from the window. Another presence was with them and Kagome quickly sat up in alarm. Shippou was too busy glaring outside into the wall to see how Inuyasha was doing. Shippou turned his back and then the next thing Kagome was being kidnapped. A dark figure had Kagome in his arms and she was squirming around trying to get away.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed and then she was gone.

Outside the room, Inuyasha's ears picked up the cry and they twitched. The next thing you know it, he charged into the room to find Kagome out of her bed and the window wide open and the wind blowing the curtains toward him. At that moment, Inuyasha's heart beat picked up and his heart was racing. His mind went blank and everything was tarring him apart. He knew she didn't jump and a human didn't take her. The scent of a unfamiliar demon was filling his nose and it the scent, a small familiar scent was caught in the different smells. The scent belonged to Naraku. Shippou began to shake in fear and anger. Inuyasha clutched his fists and the sound of Kagome's cry echoed in his mind. Once again he failed her, he thought.

"NARAKU YOU BASTARD!" Inuyasha shouted and sank to his knees.

"Kagome..." Shippou whimpered.

Inuyasha took in a deep breath from the scream.

With the last of his voice and breath, Inuyasha shouted her name "KA...GO...ME!"

Hope was lost and with this rate, Kagome wasn't going to get better.
