Disclaimer: -tear- you guys are great. Well I woke up on time today so I decided to make a chapter. I'm truly sorry but on a couple chapters I wont be doing it every day cause its just stressful. But once I start getting rid of my mood and start getting to the chapters I really have been waiting for to do everything will be back to normal

All To Familiar

Kagome shivered as she held Shippo to keep him warm. Inuyasha walked over to her and pulled off the top of his kimono and draped it over her. She smiled as he sat down next to him. The day was dreadful. They couldn't start their journey again until the weather got better.

The wind pulled the trees back and forth, ever so often changing sides to push the other way. Inuyasha growled impatiently.

"When is this going to end!" he turned to Kagome to ask. She shrugged.

"Be patient Inuyasha. We all want to get back to traveling but we have to wait for the storm to pass." Miroku stated.

Inuyasha put his hands behind his head and leaned against a tree behind him and closed his eyes. Kagome leaned her head to rest it on the side of his chest.

"Wake me once its over." She said.

An hour passed and the wind began to subside. The rain had stopped, leaving behind puddles of water on the ground. Sango sighed as all of her attempts to wake up her friends by throwing rocks at them had not worked. She stood up and walked over to Kagome.

"The only way to wake up Kagome is Inuyasha. And the only way to wake up Inuyasha is Kagome." Sango told Miroku. He smirked at what she was about to do. She kneeled down beside Kagome and got right up to her ear and whispered in it. "Sit….sit…sit…sit Inuyasha….sit…."

Kagome nodded in her sleep. "Si-s-sit boy." She said calmly in her sleep. 'THUMP'

"What was that for?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome's eye lids fluttered and then fully opened.

"Huh? What?" she asked.

"What was that for!" he yelled again.

"What!" she yelled back.

"You sat me!" he argued.

"Did not!"

"That's enough! I whispered the word into Kagome's ear to make her say it to wake you up Inuyasha. And then once you yelled I figured it would wake her up in the process." Sango explained.

"Oh." Kagome said. She handed Inuyasha's kimono back to him. He stood up and pulled it back on.

"Well lets head out." He said and picked up Kagome's back pack for her. Kagome stood up her bike and nodded.

"Ugh! I'm so hungry! We've been walking all day with no food Inuyasha." Kagome complained.

"Humans. Cant even go a day with out food." He said.

All of a sudden an all too familiar gust of wind circled around an area in front of the gang. Soon it disappeared and left behind Ekiru. This time he said nothing. He was angry. He obviously made a mistake on the miko's true power.

"Ekiru. Good now you saved me the trouble of hunting you down." Inuyasha yelled towards him. Ekiru slightly smirked. "You guys stay back. He's mine!"

Inuyasha charged for the demon that threatened his Kagome. He pulled out the Tetsusaiga and tried swiping at the demon, but his sword went right through. What was this?

"Its an illusion!" he said to himself. The real Ekiru appeared right in front of him. Ekiru lifted his sword and dug it through Inuyasha's stomach. Inuyasha screamed out in pain.

"Very good Inuyasha. To bad you didn't realize it before you attacked." Ekiru said and jumped back, pulling out the sword.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and ran over to him. She kneeled beside him. Purple ooze ran out of the wound. Poison. Ekiru had poisoned Inuyasha. He leaned up and gripped his stomach in pain. The poison had already taken affect.

"I'm fine!" he said.

"No. You stay." Kagome said.

"Ah Miko. Now I have you to myself. You will perish." Ekiru said walking up to her. Sango's weapon slightly glided Ekiru across the shoulder. The blood ran down his arm. He turned with an angry look on his face.

"Ekiru!" Sango yelled. She got the weapon back and hopped on Kirara's back. They came towards him and she threw the Hiraikotsu at him again, who lifted his sword in defense. He knocked it away to the ground. Sango pulled out a sword but Ekiru thrusted out his arm, sending a large gust of wind at her and knocking her to the ground.

Miroku opened his wind tunnel to try and suck him in. Ekiru turned to him and smirked. He opened his mouth wide and poison gas came out.

"What?" Miroku said. He tried to seal the wind tunnel before he sucked it in but some already went through his entire body. He felt his knees buckle. All of his energy was being pulled from him. He was useless and now Kagome was at his mercy.

Ekiru was about to flick his wrist when he felt a sharp pain on his chest. He looked down and an arrow was lodged into him. He turned to see the miko holding another arrow, ready to fire.

"Miroku! Sango! Are you ok?" Kagome yelled to them. They nodded as they stood up best they could. Miroku wobbled some and fell back to the ground. Inuyasha got up, everything flaring through him. He wasn't about to let Ekiru hurt his friends and get away with it. The wound in his stomach hurt but he didn't care.

He had to get rid of Ekiru and he would make to it that he did.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said. Inuyasha ignored her. He put the Tetsusaiga back and flexed his claws, then charged towards Ekiru. The demon just smirked and highered his sword. Inuyasha knocked it away and cut him across the chest then jumped back. Ekiru looked at him strange.

The half demon had cut him with ease. Was this power that he never knew the half breed had?

Inuyasha put his hand on his wound, covering it with blood. He jumped up and towered above Ekiru.

"Blades of Blood!" he yelled. The blades cut apon Ekiru's body. Inuyasha landed next to Ekiru and cut him again and again. Every once and a while Ekiru got a cut in on Inuyasha. He lost a lot of blood and was loosing strength. That's why he needed to finish him off now and that's what he intended on doing.

Ekiru was shocked. He couldn't block the attacks. It was like the half demon was a new person. His strength had increased and he couldn't block the attacks that inflicted him, even when he gets a claw on him he retaliates and cuts him too.

Inuyasha jumped back and pulled out his sword, then jumped in the air.

"Wind Scar!" he yelled. This time Ekiru was able to block the attack with his sword, but Inuyasha quickly came at him again and cut him from the neck down to the bottom of his stomach. Ekiru's mouth dropped. How could this have happened?

"Miroku." Inuyasha signaled. Miroku sat on his knees and nodded. He had to get rid of Ekiru before he tried to heal himself. He pulled off the prayer beads once Inuyasha jumped out of the way. Soon what was left of Ekiru was gone into the wind tunnel. It was finally over.

But Inuyasha was still seriously hurt. He fell to the ground and his eyes closed.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled and ran over to him.

"He's seriously hurt." Sango said as she ran over there. "Take Kirara. Ill help you lift him and Miroku up on her.

"What about you?" Kagome asked.

"Me and Shippo will be fine. You'll go quicker with just three." Kagome nodded as they lifted both men on Kirara. Kagome jumped on too and gave one last glance to Sango before taking to the sky. She couldn't believe it. Ekiru was gone. But she had no time to celebrate. The guys needed medical care. And quickly.

Kagome made it to the village she last saw Kaede.

"Kaede!" Kagome yelled. "Kaede!" An old miko stepped out of a hut far from her. She ran over to her, with Kirara behind her.

"What happened child?" Kaede asked as she looked at Inuyasha then Miroku.

"I'll explain later. Please help them!" she said impatiently.

"Aye, aye child. Ye bring them inside." She said. Kagome and Kirara followed the old miko inside and laid Inuyasha and Miroku on blankets on the floor. Kagome watched as Inuyasha was being stitched up. His wounds were bad.

He had lost a lot of blood. And all for her.

An hour later Kaede was done. Sango had walked in and was talking to Miroku. She was glad he was alright. Kaede had sucked out all the poison. Inuyasha didn't wake up and she understood. He had so many wounds. She carefully picked up his head and laid it on her lap.

Tears held up in her eyes. He had almost killed himself to save her from Ekiru. She leaned down and kissed him on the lips, the tears falling onto his face. Inuyasha opened his eyes. Kagome leaned up again and smiled at him. Inuyasha moved his head on her lap and closed his eyes again.

Sango grabbed hold of Miroku's hand and led him outside to another hut so they and their friends could be alone.

Kagome looked down at him as he drifted back to sleep. It was ok. She would sit like this all night for what he did for her.

EKIRU IS GONE! Please tell me if I rushed it. I will kinda even add more to the chapter so it seems longer. But what I was trying to say was Inuyasha gathered his energy from his anger. Yeah…..well he he. Ill do awards for the next chapter but for now stay tuned my dear reviewers
