-My cuz-
Anyway, on the last chapter I put -Then his sides started to pain from his growing claws-... I forgot to put that Inuyasha grabbed onto his sides when he felt his stomach burn. My bad...
Oh, and don't worry... After this fic, I'm starting another one. Totally original too... At least to my knowledge.
Enjoy!

Recap
Naraku let out a laugh as Inuyasha let out yells of pain to keep his sanity from slipping.
Then Inuyasha's sides started to pain from his growing claws. He could feel his fangs grow with pain as crimson filled his eyes. He was turning into his full fledged demon state. Inuyasha turned his head towards the sound. He could barely see through the redness in his eyes.
"I... Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
The one thought that echoed in Inuyasha's mind before his human half finally slipped from his demon half was..
-No!...-
Inuyasha could no longer feel pain, but only pure anger. The scent of worry and innocence hit Inuyasha's nose like rock, but oh how he loved that smell in his demon state. It made his taste buds pour with saliva, but what he enjoyed best was seeing the blood and exploring the carcass of every new prey he came upon.
Inuyasha was on his knees on the ground and staring at what was in front of him, imagining what he would do to her. Inuyasha ran his toung over his fangs and on his gumline, licking up the blood that was slowly dripping from his transformation. He grinned showing one of his fangs that hung over his bottom lip.
Hastily getting up, he ran to Kagome as fast as he could. Before she could react, he was behind her gripping her neck with a ferocious force. She let out a high pitched gasp and then brought up her hands to try and pull Inuyasha's elbow out from under her neck. Inuyasha let out a small, short chuckle at the struggle Kagome was putting on. She could hardly breath, let alone move.
Inuyasha took one of his hands and started clawing on her back. He used single strokes with one finger because he figured it was torture enough. After struggled gasps and frequent tears, Inuyasha finally shoved the rest of claw into Kagome's back and moved sideways. Leaving a single claw mark on her back.
Inuyasha shoved Kagome, causing her to drop to the floor struggling for air. Inuyasha walked around to the other side of Kagome and bent down to look into her face. He raised a claw and Kagome flinched, huddling into a ball, waiting to feel even more pain... But felt nothing. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha growling towards something. She wasn't exactly sure, but she had a guess.
He ran off, leaving Kagome laying on the floor still heavily breathing and crying.
-----
-SHIT!- Naraku thought jumping backwards to avoid Inuyasha's claw. Naraku couldn't understand it, why was Inuyasha coming after him? Why wasn't he attacking Kagome?
Inuyasha swung violantly at Naraku, missing every swing, but after many swings, Inuyasha finally got lucky on one. Naraku's baboon pelt fell off and fell all the way down to the ground, causing Naraku to fall down. Pushing on a tree branch, Inuyasha lurched downwards toward Naraku and tackled him. There was a bone cracking sound and a scream from Naraku.
Inuyasha sat upright and started slashing the hell out of Naraku's face, causing blood and pieces of skin to fly everywhere. Naraku's screams could be heard all over the forest. Inuyasha continued slashing at Naraku's face then started downwards towards his neck, snapping it and pinching the skin until it ripped and spewed in his hands.
The feeling felt great in Inuyashas hands. Inuyasha got up and took breaths and with each relaxing breath, he felt his fangs and claws to go inwards. His vision went from completely red to hazy and blurred. Whne he finally understood where he was standing, he looked down at the corpse that was once a living breathing Naraku.
He looked at his claws and saw the blood that covered it. Inuyasha gasped.
"KAGOME!"
He ran to the way he thought she was, and tripped over Naraku's baboon pelt, cracking its skull. He look at what he tripped on and noticed the one thing he was looking for!
He raced towards Kagome's scent, which was covered with blood, and found her. He looked down at her form and looked at her blood soaked back.
-Her wound reopenned...- Inuyasha thought worriedly.
He picked her up gently, hearing a gentle gasp from her.
" You're back... to normal..." Kagome said softly.
Inuyasha merely nodded and ran towards kaede's village. He ran quickly and softly through the forest. Hoping... Wishing... But then he stopped. The scent of Kaede's blood cycled through his nose. Running quickly, he took left and right turns through the forest. Ever since that one night he went to go see Kikyo, it was as if his life was one giant wave. Good things and bad things happening.
He stopped at Kaede who was bleeding horrible next to a horse. Around her laid lots of the village men dead.
"I...Inu...Yasha?.." Kaede said wearily.
"Don't you dare die on me!" Inuyasha said.
Kaede was damaged badly, but only had a couple broken bones and a deep wound. Hopefully she wasn't bleeding internally. Inuyasha set Kagome down into a standing position and made her climb onto his back. He grabbed Kaede carefully off the forest floor, trying not to move her, and headed towards the village. It was a lot of hell... Plain hell... But he kept hoping for the best.
He knew there was only one shot at this, but he still hoped and wished...
-----
A lot had happened in a short time... But to Inuyasha, it felt like an eternity. Finally stopping at Kaede's hut, he set Kaede down on the floor along with Kagome.
"Kaede I have..." Inuyasha never finished.
He noticed Kaede and Kagome asleep... He huffed and sat down next to Kagome. Finally... Peace... He wanted to wake Kaede up, but knew that it would be best for her to rest... Inuyasha closed his eyes slowly. Trying to stay awake... But his transformation had wore him out... He slowly... Slowly... Slowly drifted to sleep...
--------------------
Awaking instantly, Inuyasha looked at Kaede and Kagome still sleeping... It was around afternoon, Inuyasha guessed, when he awoke. He opened his eyes wide.
"Kaede!" Inuyasha said.
Kaede woke up and shot up, hurting her left arm and her left leg. She let out a grunt and realised what had happened.
"How di-..." Kaede started to ask.
"I HAVE THE LEAVES!" Inuyasha yelled.
There was a brief silence and Kaede started to cry tears of joy and sorrow. Sorrow for what had happened to Kagome and joy that Kagome would finally be cured. Kagome had woken up and just stared. Kaede forced herself up and started gathering everything as quick as possible.
-I'll skip all the boring details-
It came down to the final step, Kaede double check to make sure the leaves were punded good enough and poured the small drops into the small pot.There was a loud fiz then a loud pop. The fusion of blue-gray liquid in the pot turned to a mystical purple. There was silence and Kaede looked hard at the mixture. She put out the fire underneath it and then continued to stare. The light purple inside the pot turned darker and darker and darker until it finally stopped.
Kaede let out a sigh and poured the now dark purple mix into two small cups. In one cup she added a pinch of some small herbs and sprinkled them into the mix of one cup. She patiently waited until the cup cooled down until it was warm then gave the cup with the herbs to Kagome.
"Go on child, drink up." Kaede said almost forcefully.
Kagome chugged the drink and set it down. She felt this warm feeling inside and felt her eyes droop. Her head spiraled and she plopped backwards onto the pillow. Kagome took the second cup and poured it carefully over her deep gnash in her back.
Kaede finally finished and stepped outside with Inuyasha.
"Is she... Ok?" Inuyasha asked.
"Hai. She will be fine Inuyasha." Kaede said nicely. "She just needs time to rest."
----------
After a week of healing, for both Kagome and Inuyasha, and proper burials for Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kilala, the full moon stage had completed its phase. Kagome had recieved all her memory back and the wound in her back has almost completely healed. It was time for Inuyasha to keep up to his promise...
The sun was going to set in the west in a few hours... Giving Inuyasha enough time. Tonight was the night. He had been thinking of it all this time... He steadily walked over to Kaede's hut, where kagome was, and walked in.
"K-Kagome." Inuyasha said.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kagome said.
"Well, I have to show you something." Inuyasha said.
Kagome nodded and got up to walk outside. Picking her up bridal style, Inuyasha swept off. Kagome had asked and asked where he was taking her, but he just merely said he promised. After countless hours, Inuyasha finally stumbled upon a gorgeous spot. A field of flowers spread across the plain. It looked absolutely beautiful. The flowers were spread everywhere on the terrain, as far as the eye could see. There were huge, old trees with a circle of grass spread out from under each one as if put there on purpouse.
The smell was perfect and the wind gave a slight tug at their faces, cooling them both off. Inuyasha set Kagome down, giving her a chance to let her eyes explore at the glorious treasure chest.
"Inuyasha... This is... Beautiful!" kagome said turning around and hugging him. She looked up at him. "When did you promise to take me here?" Kagome asked.
"When you were still sick." Inuyasha said smiling.
"Oh Inuyasha..." Kagome said dreamly.
"If you think this is amazing... Watch this." Inuyasha said taking a couple steps backwards.
Inuyasha stood there looking into Kagome's eyes. The sun behind him started to set and darkness was slowly starting to take over. Inuyasha's hair turned from white turn a slight dark blue to pure black. Kagome watched his eyes transform from his amazing blazing amber to almost pure black. She watched all of him and noticed that for a split second there was a golden glow that appeared and faded around him.
There also seemed to be a change from his usual aura.
"Oh Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, hugging him deeply.
Inuyasha hugged back, the memories of dear friends rushing through them both.
Colors of pink, orange, yellow, and violet were the colors the sunset had left after its dismissance. Giving a sign of each of their friends favorite colors.
Pink for Sango...
Orange for Shippo...
Yellow for Kilala...
and Violet for Miroku...
But in the end, Inuyasha and Kagome lived a happy ending together in prosperity.
