Disclaimer: Can't I please have Inuyasha? Please?

AN: The next day, Kagome and Inuyasha are finally back together and they all forget about the incident with Sesshoumaru, at least until he decides to show his face again.

"What's wrong m'lord?" Sesshoumaru didn't answer. He continued to look down at his feet and ponder about the incident.

"How could I have let my little brother get the best of me?" he thought to himself. "It was fool-proof." No matter how hard he tried he couldn't understand. "That stupid wolf had gotten in the way, that's all."

"Lord Sesshoumaru, are you okay?" Jaken continued to push. Sesshoumaru stood up and looked at the empty sky. There was no moon tonight, just the stars left alone to illuminate the sky. He looked back down and opened his kimono. The wound in his chest was nearly gone.

"I want Inuyasha dead!" he rampaged. "I'm tired of sitting around, it's time to finish him off! Let's go Jaken." Jaken did as he was told and followed Sesshoumaru deep into the woods.

"Hey Kagome, could you go get some more fire wood?" Miroku asked as he stared at the flickering fire. Kagome shook her head and stood up.

"Kagome, I'll go with you," Shippou announced. Kagome smiled and they both trotted into the woods to collect some dead branches.

"Inuyasha, are you ok?" Sango questioned. She looked at him and pondered. "Kagome and Inuyasha were great together today, I wonder why he's so down." She thought. Then she looked up at the sky and saw the empty moon and billions of stars. "Oh, that's right. Tonight is the new moon, when Inuyasha loses all his demonic powers."

She stood up and started walking towards him when there was a sudden scream from the woods.

"KAGOME!" Inu yelled and jumped up. He looked towards the forest and began to run to her when Sango stopped him.

"No! Inuyasha, if you go to try and save Kagome, they will know your weakness!"

"I don't care, I have to go save her!" Sango struggled to hold him back; even without his demonic power he was strong.

"It's ok, Miroku and I will go check it out. You need to stay here." She carefully released Inu and called Kilala. Miroku hopped on and they started towards the woods. Just as they were about to enter, Shippou popped out of the bushes.

"He's got Kagome!" he screeched, falling to the ground. Inuyasha couldn't wait anymore, he jumped up and over to Shippou.

Shaking little Shippou he demanded, "Who? Who has Kagome?"

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha's mouth dropped wide open in disbelief. After a few seconds of surprise, he began to run into the woods. Sango and Miroku tried to stop him, but it was no use. They flew after him aboard Kilala's back as he continued to run to Kagome.

"Sesshoumaru, you bastard!" Inu yelled when he finally found them.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and ran over into his arms.

"Kagome what's going on?" he asked with a stern look on his face, remembering the incident with Sesshoumaru before.

"No, Inuyasha, it's not that. I was just getting some more firewood…Shippou was with me, ask him."

"Ok, it's ok, just go over where it is safe."

" But, Inuyasha, you don't have your demonic power." She pleaded, but he pushed her away.

"I don't want you to get hurt anymore Kagome. I'll be ok, I promise." She nodded in agreement and took a spot on the sideline.

"How interesting," Sesshoumaru butted in, "Why, Inuyasha, you look as human as can be. Finally decided to stop kidding yourself and gave up on being a demon? Good. I'm glad, there is no room in the world for half-breeds like yourself anyway,"

"What is your problem, Sesshoumaru? Why do you keep coming after her anyway, I thought you didn't want anything to do with humans?"

Sesshoumaru grunted. "What does it matter, I have what I came for and now that you're human, it will be even easier to get rid of you." He leaped towards Inu with his claws sharp and extended. He made contact and grabbed Inu by the throat. Sesshoumaru lifted him off the ground and tossed him against a tree. Slowly, he started to stand back up, using the tree as support.

Inu grunted as he regained his footing. "Sesshoumaru, if you only wanted me, why did you have to bother Kagome? Can't you just leave her alone?"

"Humph. I don't care about her and it's not my fault if you do. I just needed to get you where you can't escape." He replied walking slowly to him. He lifted his right arm up and punched Inu hard in the face, making him once again fall to the ground.

"What's wrong Inuyasha? You're not even putting up a fight?" Inu tried to swing at Sesshoumaru, but it was easily dodged. Sesshoumaru stepped back and pulled out his electric whip. He continued to beat Inuyasha to no end as Kagome watched obeying Inu's wishes.

"I can't take this anymore. This is even a fight, it's a beating!" Kagome knew she had to do something to try and help Inuyasha.

"This is pathetic, I might as well put you out of your misery!" Sesshoumaru yelled and leaped at Inu with his poison claws, but just at that moment Kagome had decided to jump out and protect Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru hand went right through her chest and disintegrated the skin around it. He gasped in disbelief and pulled his hand away, but the damage was already done.

"Kagome!" Inu yelled as he watched her fall motionless to the ground. "NO! You bastard!" He held her as she died in his arms.

"Inu…yasha…I'm sorry…" she gasped and then her head slowly fell weightless. She died in his arms just as the sun began to rise. As his lover died in his arms, Inu finally regained his demonic power; only this time, it was too late.
