Chapter: Seven What the HELL Happened?

Inuyasha made his way back towards where he had left Kagome, frowning.

After he had renewed his promise to Kikyou, and they had shared a brief kiss, he had realized that he had to get back to Kagome and had told the undead miko this. Kikyou had grown colder than usual, if possible. She had said that he seemed much too devoted to Kagome, this copy of her, and he had told her, in vain, that he cared for Kagome, though not nearly in the same way he did Kikyou that while she was helping him, being his shard detector in this time, she was his responsibility.

Kikyou had departed, ignoring what he had said, riding the air with her soul-stealers.

As he approached the area hed left Kagome, distracted by these thoughts, Inuyasha sighed. Suddenly, though, his nose picked up on a scent that instantly broke him out of his thoughts. The scent was rather reptilian, and it was it was that of a demon! And he scented blood in the air, and it was all overpowered by the heavy stench of fear Kagomes fear!

Panicked, he broke into a run, fearing for Kagomes safety. Less than half a minute later, he came to a stop just outside the clearing where hed left her. Entering it, he was shocked at the sight before him.

The grassy ground of the clearing was covered by a large pool of blood that was still seeping outwards slightly. In the middle of the clearing lay Kagomes prone body, which Inuyasha could barely recognize, she was so covered in blood.

Loosely wrapped around her was the body of an enormous serpentine demon. I say body because not only was it dead, but Inuyasha saw its head laying several feet away, completely severed from its body. Both the body and the head were still bleeding, hence the blood all over the ground. Inuyasha just stood there for a minute, viewing the scene before him in stunned silence, before he ran over and grabbed Kagome by her underarms, pulling her out of the coils of the dead reptile.

He laid her on the ground, and was relieved to see the rise and fall of her chest. She was alive!

But what had happened? The demon was dead had Kagome killed it, somehow, before passing out? He needed to know he needed to know what had happened!

Inuyasha shook her gently, and her eyes opened slightly, and then were suddenly wide open. Before he knew it, Kagome was sitting up, her arms wrapped around him, sobbing, her voice sounding rather raspy. Oh, Inuyasha, thank goodness you came! I-, I was so scared! So scared that I was gonna die so scared!

Puzzled, the hanyou shoved her away rather roughly. He was confused; what was going on here! He left Kagome for just a few minutes and came back to find her unconscious, with a dead demon! What the HELL! What do you mean! What happened, Kagome I mean, I get that a demon attacked you, and thats bad, but how the HELL did you survive! Did your miko powers activate or something!

Kagome sat there, and her eyes took on a sort of dead look as he talked. Inuyasha he didnt save me! Then who? Oh my god, my dream! It came true! I know it did he left me there to go see Kikyou, and I was asleep, and a demon attacked me I could have DIED! I should have died but that flash of white if Inuyasha didnt save me, then who?

Inuyasha took Kagome by the shoulders and shook her roughly, snapping her out of her thoughts as she winced. He could feel his anger rising, because he was confused, and he didnt like it! Damnit, Wench, tell me what the hell happened!

Kagomes eyes, which had just a moment ago seemed out-of-it, suddenly locked on Inuyasha, fury in them. She gave him her answer. SIT!
