What was this? Inuyasha thought. The last thing he remembered was falling down on the floor in tremendous pain, and then he completely lost control of his body. Where was he now? He could faintly smell Kagome, so he knew she was close by. Was she in danger? He had to wake up! He tried to focus all his energy but couldn't. Then he became aware of a presence that hadn't been there before. He felt the presence push through him, and then he opened his eyes.

Danny threw himself directly into the body of the erratically convulsing Inuyasha. He had done this type of thing before, but this time it was different. The ghost that inhabited him was something that he'd never encountered before. He pushed his way through the body and successfully released the boy from the ghost's control. Or at least, he thought he did. As he watched his human body continue to spiral towards the outside world, he came to the realization that something had separated his two forms. He watched as his body collapsed to the floor. Sam ran over to him and "Danny!" she cried. She looked over at Kagome, who was pretty much in a state of shock. "Nothing like this has ever happened before. I don't know what's wrong!" Sam knelt over the lifeless figure of Danny, and started violently sobbing.

"Sam!" Danny cried out. Why couldn't she hear him? "SAAAAMM!" He cried from inside wherever he was. He pounded on the barrier that lay between them. Where was he? He looked around. He was in somewhere completely different. When his body and his ghost were separated, his ghost had been contained here. And there was something else that had come along with him.

Inuyasha opened his eyes. Where was he? An almost transparent boy was trapped with him. "Where are we?" he asked simply. He stood up. Then he saw something that worried him.

"It seems that some part of ourselves is trapped here. But who are you? You don't look like the same person I phased through." Danny looked at the young man standing before him. But then again, he thought, I don't look like the same person either. He looked at his human form that lay outside. Then he looked to the form of the stranger, and noticed that it had changed. Though still unconscious, it seemed to have more of an evil aura about it. And some stripes had appeared.

"It's still me." The boy walked up to the barrier. "Somehow my human self is stuck here, while my demon self stays out there." The boy pounded his fist on the barrier, and to his astonishment it shattered. "What?" he said to no one in particular.

"Finally". A voice said that seemed to come from nowhere.

"Finally what?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Finally you've decided to let me feast off your weaknesses, half-breeds" The voice began to center right in front of Danny and Inuyasha. It took the shape of a woman with long black hair and huge emerald eyes. She seemed dangerously beautiful.

"Who are you calling half-breed!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Yeah, and who are you calling weak!" Danny joined in. He wanted to be able to at least yell something.

"Let me explain," The emerald-eyed woman said. "My name is Garasu, and I am a glass demon. I absorb my energy from an outside source, and capture it in little glass balls. I planted one in you the other night, Inuyasha, you may recall. But I wasn't expecting to capture two half breeds, I didn't even know it was possible!" She looked at Danny. "But I'll ask my questions later. My glass absorbs the stronger form of half-breeds and transports them here so that I may feast off the weaker forms that are left behind."

"Feh!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "Now I know you're lying. I'm not strong at all in my human form!"

"No one was talking about brute strength," Garasu said, "I was talking about the strength of your life force, yours is sustained by your human half." Inuyasha pondered this. He had always seen his human half as a hindrance, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it that side of him that kept him passionate? That kept him going in tough times, and that kept him fiercely protective over the ones he loved?

"Now you," Garasu said, looking at Danny. "You are an anomaly. It seems you were not born a half breed. You were so easy to separate, almost as if your two sides didn't even want each other. And you are so weak. The only reason why I took your demon form over your human form is that when you're human you can't even protect yourself. Let alone Samantha."

"WHAT!" Danny exclaimed. "What do you know about Samantha and me, what do you know about anything!" He charged the demon. He had virtually no power by himself. But he didn't care anymore.

Garasu laughed. "Don't play with me Danny Phantom, I've seen your heart. I've seen how you 'protect' a city that hates you, parents that don't understand you, and a girl who won't acknowledge you. By devouring you, I'm probably doing you a favor!" With that parting shot her already huge eyes grew larger and seemed to reflect Danny's soul. He began to slowly walk towards her, as if in a zombie like trance. Inuyasha stepped between Danny and Garasu.

"Snap out of it!" He yelled. "Danny! Think of the ones you love. Think of what's worth fighting for!" He tried to grab a hold of him, but just phased right through him. What could he do? He knew if he didn't think of something soon, it would mean disaster for both of them.

Kagome and Sam looked at the seemingly lifeless bodies of the two men. Both were in such a state of shock and horror that they didn't know what to do. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, and then suddenly felt some sort of pulse. She witnessed in horror as she saw the human form of Inuyasha come out of Inuyasha's body and then materialize. She looked over to where Danny was, the same thing seemed to be happening, but instead of his human form, his ghost form left. Kagome thought to herself that she would give just about anything to know what was going on. "Inuyasha," she cried softly to the slumbering demon that now lay before her "How do I help you?"
