Kagome walked back to the hut. 'What's wrong with him? First the demon, then me. What's going on?!' she thought. In the morning, everyone was eating breakfast, when Kagome's head shot up. "What's wrong Kagome?" Miroku asked. "There's a jewel shard around here!" she responded.

As soon as she said that, Inuyasha was already out the door. Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were already on Kirara, following Inuyasha. They got to an area were there was a bear demon. "Inuyasha! The jewel shard's in its chest!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha nodded and ran up to the demon.

The demon was as big as a building. It looked down and saw Inuyasha. He tried to swipe at him, but Inuyasha dodged it and sliced his hand off with the Tetsusaiga. The demon roared in pain and stepped on him. "Inuyasha!"Kagome shouted. She grabbed her bow and arrow and shot the demon in the arm with the missing hand and blew a chunk clear off. The demon took one step back and growled. Inuyasha, now free, tried to jump up and slice the demon in the chest, but it bounced off. "What?!" he exclaimed.

The demon roared again and grabbed him with the hand it still had. Inuyasha tried to get away, but couldn't. Kagome gasped and tried to shoot it again, but Miroku stopped her. "If you shoot the demon, it will use him as a shield," he explained. She put the bow back and watched in horror. Inuyasha was feeling weak, when suddenly, he felt something strange. His body started to shake and tremble violently. It looked like he was having a seizure. "Inuyasha!" Kagome cried again.

It felt like he was changing into a youkai, but he still had the Tetsusaiga. All of his teeth were sharpening into fangs and his claws were sharpening too. His eyes were turning blue. The shaking stopped and he just stayed there in the demon's paw for a second. Suddenly, there was a bright light and the demon's hand exploded. Inuyasha started to laugh and raised his claws as he jumped into the air. He sliced the demon, this time, breaking through the barrier and cutting the demon into little pieces. He landed on the ground as blood and guts rained down all around him. He held his hand out so he got a hand full of blood. He drank the blood and licked his lips.

Kagome got off of Kirara and ran over to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! Are you okay?" she asked. He turned around and chuckled. "Your little friend isn't here anymore," he said. His voice was raspier and a little high. "Who are you and where is Inuyasha?!" she asked annoyed. Inuyasha laughed. "My name is Kujara. I'm a simple parasitic demon that only seeks a host. I have tried demons and humans alike. I tried demons, they are powerful, but strong enough to expel me from their bodies. Then I tried humans, who were too weak to get rid of me, but were too weak altogether." Kujara clenched Inuyasha's claw. "So I thought: why not a hanyou? They are too weak to get rid of me, but are still extremely powerful. And this one fit the description quite nicely." Kujara explained.

Kagome raised her bow and arrow."Get out of him NOW!" she shouted. "Go ahead! Shoot me! Sure, you'll kill me, but you'll also kill your little friend too!" he shouted. Kagome lowered her weapon and sighed. Kujara raised his claws and took one step foward. "But that doesn't mean I can't kill you!" he shouted, running over to Kagome. Suddenly, Sango's hiraikotsu appeared out of nowhere and hit him square in the chest, knocking him back several feet. He growled and saw Miroku and Sango standing in front of Kagome. "This isn't over wench!" he shouted. With that, Kujara ran into the woods and soon disappeared. (A/N: Kujara's still in Inuyasha's body) After the shock wore off, they grabbed the jewel shard and went back to Kaede's hut.
