Ok, this chappy is short but for a good reason afterwards. enjoy while it lasts!

Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing. Before her, Inu-yasha did something that never happened before. Her worst fears have happened. Now everything will change.

Inu-yasha has changed the past.

"This body is soooo weak," the centipede hisses, baring her large fangs, "I shall devour you . . . Shikon Jewel and all!" she charges for Kagome.

"NO!" with her free hand, she pushes her palm toward the face of the centipede, once again a light-force pushing the centipede away from Kagome and having all but one arm not disconnected for the demon. As the force pushes Kagome back, she realizes that the force might have been a bit too much, for she ended up slamming to Inu-yasha, who immediately slipped his free arm around her waist.

Inu-yasha brought her close to him, or however close he could. He whispered softly into her ear. "Play along."

She sucks in a slight breath, but none the less nods very slightly.

He smirks, then speaks in a louder voice for everyone to hear. "Alright wench, wheres the Shikon Jewel?"

"Wh-what are you talking about! I don't have anything!" Kagome yells, secretly surprised at how good an actor Inu-yasah is.

"Don't you play dumb on me. If that demon hag was after you for the jewel, that means you have it somewhere with you! No where is it!"

"Your guess is as good is mine! Only problem is is that I DON'T HAVE IT!" Hey, this could sound a bit funny if the situation was a bit different.

"Don't you lie to me now," he flexes his claws and draws them near her neck, "you wouldn't want to die a slow and painful death, do ya?"

The claws sent a small shiver down Kagome's spine. She wasn't really scared of Inu-yasha actually planning to kill her. She trusted him completely. What scared her were the claws that were at the moment dangerously close to her skin. She backed up a bit more to Inu-yasha, probably trying to calm herself. As if her wishes were answered, she felt a clawed hand grab her finger and gently squeezed it.

Kagome heard his soft whisper, "It ok. Don't be scared."

She smiled inside.

"That prey is MINE, halfbreed! I saw her first!"

Inu-yasha smirked, "Ya know, you got a big mouth to actually say that this girl has the jewel." He notices the centipede slowly drawing near. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

He lowered his hand back to Kagome's waist, and looked like he was wrapping his arm around it. "It's inside her, isn't it? The jewel?" The centipede flinched, "I could just take the jewel right now and I'LL be far more powerful that before. With it, I can easily get out of these stupid bonds and kill the whole lot of ya. So what's it gonna be, hag?"

A silence blanketed the area. Mistress centipede watched The bound half demon clutch her prey and the jewel within it. Kaede and the villagers to the side, only able to watch . . . .

Inu-yasha's head suddenly snap up as he heard a whizzing sound. He quickly moved his head to the side as an arrow slammed beside him. He looked to see Kaede the only one who was holding a bow up. "You fool!"

That's when everything went wrong.

Ok I kinda have a plan here. Since I seem to have a lot of time yet take forever in writing one chapter, I'll write a chapter every one or two days, but they'll be short but, also, be updated more frequently. At least you guys wont have to wait long this time.
