Okay Minna. Finally updating, sorry it took so long! I'm still feeling a little woozy, so lemme know if I need to fix this, m'kay?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha. I do own this fan fiction, and have manipulated the characters to fit with my story.

ChapterThree: What Just Happened!

"K-Kagome..."

Shippo's voice broke through Inuyasha and Kagome's staring contest, as effective as a bucket of cold water, snapping them back to reality. The hanyou yelped suddenly, and launched himself up into the trees, running off, and Kagome was left with the equally shocked members of her group, to explain by herself what exactly had happened.

"Kagome...w-what happened?" Shippo asked, and Sango and Miroku looked towards the poor miko, all of them evidently haven woken up and wittnessed the whole incident.

"I...I don't know. Inuyasha he - his demon blood...he had the marks, his eyes were red,and then I sat him...and his eyes looked normal, but then he...he still acted strangely and...then he...well...did that...and...then turned back to normal...somehow..." Kagome trailed off, pressing her hands to her cheeks as she turned a deep shade of pink, and staring embarressedly at the ground. Sango and Miroku glanced at each other at the girl's words, both wondering how on earth something like that had happened.

"I don't understand, Kagome. Didn't he have Tetseiga with him? It's supposed to seal his blood, right?" Sango asked worriedly. This wasn't good. How didInuyasha's demonblood get out of control? If it had truely overrode the seal, and Kagome sitting him didn't return him to normal, then what would happen? What if he turned into a killing monster again? Would he turn on his friends?

The same thought must have dawned on the others. Slowly, they all looked at one another, shocked and somewhat anxious. What were they going to do?

Inuyasha leapt through the trees, running as if Hell's seven hounds were chasing him themselves. What he was running from, he wasn't sure, but he knew that he couldn't face the others right now.

'How the hell did my demon blood get out of control? I had Tetseiga! One minute I was scouting the area, the next I found myself...' Inuyasha blushed suddenly, matching the color of his fire rat haori exactly. He leapt through the air one more time, and found himself in the branches of the God Tree. Inuyasha blinked in surprise. He hadn't had any destination in mind when he ran, only to get away from the others while he figured out what the hell had happened. How was it that, whenever he was confused, sad, hurt, or just feeling pensive, he ended up at the same spot, whenever he happened to be in the area? The tree's presence soothed him, which was ironic since it had been the spot where he had died years before. Inuyasha sat down in the uppermost branches of the God Tree, and stared up at the cloudy sky.

'One things for sure, and this I know. I was aware of what I was doing the whole time - it was like I was outside my body - watching myself. I remembered everything, unlike when I normally lose control. It was also different in the fact that...that I didn't feel the urge to kill...but...I felt the urge to...do that...with Kagome...but...it wasn't unpleasent and...I don't regret it...' Inuyasha sighed and slid his arms up into his sleeves.

"What the hell is happening to me?"

And that's a wrap for today. Sorry that its short, but at least I updated, right? Eh heh heh. I promise, I'll try to update very soon. I'm stuck on inspiration lately, and have become victim to some very large, and long writer's block. Well, I guess that's it. R & R, okay minna? Let's try to reach...say...maybe 100 reviews TOTAL, to the ones I have so far before I update again. Of course, how fast I update will be due to the effort of you, all of my loverly fans! If you have any ideas of how to improve this story, feel free to send me a PM. Also, if you've written a fanfiction of your own, send me the title! I love to read other people's stories, and if its REALLY good, I'll mention it in my next chapter! That's all for now, minna.

Ja ne!
