Chapter 3: End of the World for Some

The pain in Kagome's chest was throbbing uncontrollably now; she had lost a considerate amount of blood, and could barely keep herself from falling over.

Inu..Inuyasha… why?..thought the heart-broken Kagome.

All the while, Inuyasha standing over her, watching her suffer, watching her bleed to death. Never did the smirk of pure satisfaction leave his face.

KAGOME, PLEASE HANG ON, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON ME, KAGOME!

That wench is slowly bleeding to death, dealing with more pain and turmoil than you could imagine. She will never know that I was behind this and her soul will become dark and twisted, just like Kikyo's.

NARAKU, YOU SICK BASTARD STOP THIS, DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ME, BUT LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE! LET YOUR SORTANKA DEVOUR MY SOUL AND SEND IT TO THE WORST DEPTHS OF HELL, I DON'T CARE, JUST STOP MAKING HER SUFFER!

Inuyasha, my Sortanka will devour your soul no matter what, but I think I am going to see out your last request.

With that Inuyasha, under the control of Naraku, grabbed Kagome's neck and lifted her off the ground, so that her eyes were level with his. Kagome let out a scream, as she struggled to get free. Inuyasha grip became tighter, his claws digging into her skin, causing droplets of blood to seep out. Naraku made sure the grip was not too tight because he did not want to kill her yet.

The four companions were walking in the forest, the winds at their back. It was an exceptionally beautiful night. Thousands of stars loomed over head but they were somewhat covered by the treetops.

"It's such a beautiful night", exclaimed Sango, looking up through the treetops at the stars.

"Yes, it is, we should be able to see more of the stars up ahead. The ocean is said to be at the end of this forest," stated Miroku. "Even though, this part of the sea is known to be cursed."

Gulp… "Cursed?" asked Shippo uneasily.

"Many tales have been told about ships vanishing unexpectedly in this part of the sea. Only a few people have every returned, appearing only with the clothes on their back, who will not speak a word of what happened to them. People are really weary of it and try not to be close to it unless they have to. Rumor has it a giant demon underwater kingdom lurks offshore…"

Suddenly a scream could be heard off in the distance.

"That was Kagome!" shouted Shippo.

With no time to think, the four companions sprinted off towards the direction of the sound, not knowing what dangers lay ahead, and forgetting all about the cursed sea and the tale of the blue-haired demon.

LET GO OF HER YOU SICK BASTARD!

I just might do that, Inuyasha.

NOOOO!

Inuyasha knew what Naraku had planned before he had ever said anything.

Slowly Inuyasha, started to walk to the edge of the cliff, still holding the struggling Kagome in his grasp.

It is a surprise that she even lasted this long, most others would have been dead by now, but the wench will be soon.

Cries of Kagome came abruptly from the forest.Inuyasha tried screaming for their help but no words emanated from his mouth.

It is to late Inuyasha, not even your friends can save you and the wench.

Inuyasha had gotten to the edge of the cliff; the black water below reflecting the peaceful full moon. Jagged rocks lay at the bottom with the churning waves. Holding Kagome eye level with him, the possessed Inuyasha said calmly with a toothy smile, "I think I will throw you past the rocks so the sharks can devour your flesh, wench."

"Inu..yasha…"

KAGOME!

"Rot in hell wench", said the possessed Inuyasha has he tossed Kagome off the cliff.

Kagome was sent over the edge towards the water below. She was slowly slipping into darkness and she knew her end was near. All of her life seemed to pass in front of her; growing up on the shrine with her family, going to school, her friends, her 15th birthday, the feudal era, meeting Inuyasha, the Shikon Jewel, giving Inuyasha the Tetsugia, meeting Shippo, Inuyasha and Kikyo, Inuyasha protecting her in all their battles, Inuyasha on the New Moon nights, meeting Miroku, learning about Naraku, meeting Sango and Kirara, Inuyasha transforming into a full demon, Inuyasha making a potion for her when she was sick, Inuyasha battling the Band Of Seven, and finally just Inuyasha leaning against the Goshbiki tree in the modern era with his eyes closed and hair blowing flawlessly in the wind seemingly waiting for her to get home from school. With the last her strength she managed to call out his name before she was slammed into the sea.

Kagome's calling did not go unheard. At that moment Inuyasha's very life was broken.

Kagome! Kagome! Kagome!

Inuyasha that girl was your greatest weakness. You should be thanking me.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

All the rage that had been hidden in Inuyasha began to surface. A struggle began on who was in control of Inuyasha's body. He began changing into a full demon with no control of what he was doing.

"NARAKU!", growled Inuyasha fiercely.

A powerful surge of energy swept out through Inuaysha, giving him the strength to tear Naraku's Sortanka from his arm, killing it instantly. Inuyasha's eyes began glowing a fierce red and on his cheeks began appearing purple streaks. His fangs, claws, and hair all grew longer in a matter of mere seconds.

The four other traveling companions appeared at the edge of the forest. Blood covered the ground and Inuyasha.

"Miroku what is happening?" asked Sango fearfully.

"Inuyasha has no control of his demon blood. We have to stop him but where is Kagome?"

"All of the blood, it is Kagome's! Shippo go with Kirara and find Kagome."

The two-tail followed the strong scent of Kagome's blood over the cliff.

At that moment Inuyasha's transformation was complete. He looked wildly around with his blood-stained eyes, viewing everyone as the murders of his beloved Kagome. Emotions whipped through out Inuyasha's soul; rage, angry, hopelessness, all leading to kill the murders and rescue Kagome. Charging full speed at the monk, the demon slayer was able to whip Inuyasha from the front of his head using her massive weapon. The blow sent Inuyasha sailing backwards onto the ground although he was able to regain his ground quite quickly. The demon stood in front of the two friends for what seemed liked minutes, trails of blood trickling down from his head, staining his once so silver bangs. Inuyasha knew he would have to act fast if he were to save Kagome. Sango and Miroku stood with arms ready to fight off the demon, which they once called and still called friend. Before any of the two could make a move, Inuyasha charge at them full force, using his claws to rip at his opponents. The attack left Sango with a torn open shoulder and Miroku's wind tunnel arm savagely wounded. All hope was lost for the two close friends when Kirara and Shippo sailed up from the ocean below. Catching Inuyasha off guard, the two-tail slammed Inuyasha into a tree, knocking him out.

Shippo jumped off Kirara and ran over to the demon slayer and the monk. Kirara followed close behind.

"Kagome…Kagome is dead!" wailed Shippo. "We followed her scent over the cliff where we found a pool of her blood with sharks swimming in it and when Kirara dived into the water she was gone. We could not save her!"

Tears started coming from the demon slayer eyes shortly followed by the monk's.

"Inuyasha, how could you?" cried Sango
