Heh, I held out on the updating because I had stuff to do, but I made sure to at least update, so please, no rock throwing!

KagomeKissez: Well, I read your story, which is pretty awesome. GET UPDATING STAT. Please?

yuai21: Thanks for reviewing!

RinCutie7455: I know, cliffies are horrible, but if I didn't leave cliffies, I may now have many reviews, and that would make me sad.

MoonMist: Ooh, that's mean… I get Ranma then!

Annez awakening of senses: New name, eh? Well, thanks for reviewing!

Shahrukh: I try, I really do!

Kagome's Girl: As you can see, I HAVE updated. Three cheers for me!

Inuyasha's Mustang: Cool… I am thinking of going goth… No, no Yahoo, but could you e-mail me?

A/N: Well, I have some friends who are dying to get some review on their stories, so if I tell you the titles, could you please review for them? Please? The titles are Suffering Soul, the locket and the fang, and the other is Kagome's Story. Both are really good, and deserve more attention then they are getting, because they are losing reviewers.

Thank you!

Inuyasha had turned full demon, with the red stripes lining across his face, and red and blue eyes. The blood on the ground was mostly his, but whoever attacked him was badly hurt as well, and had run off. Kagome screamed as Inuyasha sliced at Kenara with his overgrown claws, knocking her to the ground. Kenara rolled out of the way of the strike that could have ended her life, and backed away.

For the last month, Kagome's scent was calming to Inuyasha, so at sundown each day, she made sure to be around him to calm his demon side. Unfortunatly, her scent was good enough for those times, and those times only. This time her was injured, and her scent was doing shit for that.

Miroku ran up with one of Seion's ribbons and tied Inuyasha's hands behind his back quickly, then ran out, knowing that the main danger may be the claws, but the fangs weren't exactly healthy to be around. Inuyasha growled menacingly as he tried to break the fabric, but to no avail. Seion had wet it down with a water bottle, and everyone knows wet cloth cannot rip, at least, normally. Her ribbon was also quite resistant already, making it impossible to break, no matter how hard Inuyasha strained. The group copuld hear the pattering feet of more attackers behind then, so turned to meet them. Kenara turned to Kagome, who looked obviously worried.

"You have to help him in some way Kagome."

Kagome shook her head. "I can't-"

"Yes you can, I know you can Kagome!" Kenara yelled as shhe ran intot he fray, leaving Kagome a few steps away from Inuyasha, who was working at the bonds with his claws.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked carefully, Inuyasha growling at her.

"Let me help you." She said, her voice growing stronger, as Inuyasha sawed away at the cloth. She ran up and pushed him onto his back, falling on top of him, pinning him to the ground. He growled and bared his fangs, trying to scare her, but she stayed put, one hand on his heart, which was beating ferociously fast, faster than you could imagine.

You know what to do Kagome…

"No, how can words help him now?" She yelled, not knowing Inuyasha was through one layer of cloth, and had one to go.

Try it. You have to work fast Kagome, please, help the hanyou!

She gulped down a sob and began her chant, her eyes squeezed tight.

"A time bereft of hopes and dreams," She said as Inuyasha gripped her arms with his clawed hands, having gotten his way free. He drew blood as he tried to get her off of him, but it didn't work, she stayed there, unmoving.

"It's relms disheveled at their seams," She cried, not noticing the blue pupils draw back from his eyes, his hands release some grip, his fangs draw back.

"Must weeping willows brush aside," She said, her voice giving way to tears as Inuyasha's eyes retured to their amber color, his arms go slack, his face looking wonderingly up into her's as she finished the chant.

"And gaze into its forgotten streams." She finished, looking at him, their eyes connecting.

"Why were you speaking like that Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, holding her hand.

"Kenara said thet my poetry holds the power to help people. At that moment-" She looked at him again, "I just wanted to help you."

Kagome got off of him and Inuyasha sat up, rubbing his arms and legs.

"Looks like you heled me to boot. Thanks Kagome."

"Welcome." Kagome finished as the others walked up, covered in blood, putting away their weapons.

"We need to go to my house. You five have things to explain." Kenara said, looking pointedly at the five newcomers, who looked sheepishly away.

"Well, we should get going then." Inuyasha said, staning up. "You eight shuld get cleaned up though."

Sango laughed. "I bet we do. Come on, lets get rolling."

Well, thatw as kind of short, but I need to get going. All questions will be answered by next chapter, where new questions will arise, so please, do not badger me with questions! And I forgot to say that I do not own Inuyasha. Oh well.
