Kagome groaned quietly and reached for her yellow backpack.

It was late and everyone was asleep. Well, except for Inuyasha, but he's a night owl.

Kagome had been asleep as well, until her punding head awoke her. She swallowed two ibuprofen.

Her head had been hurting even more than usual. It felt as though it was being split in two.

Kagome sighed and laid back down,not asleep, but trying to rest.

Inuyasha spoke to her.

"Your head...it hurts alot, right?"

Kagome paused. "Uh..yeah."

Inuyasha looked away, Kagome thought she heard a sigh.

Kagome sat up.

"This place..it feels kinda odd, don't you think?"

Inuyasha nodded. He turned to say someting when there was the blast.

And suddenly, Naraku was there.

All jumped up when he appeared.

Kagome spoke first.

"Why did you kill them!"

Naraku glared at her. "The wolves? They got in my way. Kouga refused to give me his jewel shards, so I had to do away with him- and then the red-head got in the way."

He smirked.

Inuyasha, abrasive as always, raised his sword.

But before he had a chance to attack, Naraku swung his arm, sending an explosion of flames towards them.

Instinctlively, Inuyasha threw fire rat cloth around Kagome, which provided minimal coverage. The attack spread around the bodies.

The fire hit the walls, spreading the flames. Inuyasha stood and rushed the others out.

"Stay here." He panted, then rushed back in.

Kagome, who had been knocked down, slowly stood to her feet. Her head was still throbbing, the ibuprofen showing no help.

"He..he..hates him brother, doesn't he? Inuyasha hates Sesshomaru.."

Sango stared at her. "You remember that?"

Kagome nodded slowly.

She gasped. Inuyasha's kimono was still around her.

"I have to go back."

"Kagome, you can't! You'll be killed!"

"Well, Inuyasha will be if I don't go give him this!"

And before anyone could stop her, she ran inside the burning temple.

Inuyasha's sword was raised, but Naraku had a barrier around him.

Without thinking, Kagome grabbed an arrow and fired, breaking the barrier.

He screamed at her. "Insolent wench!"

He attacked her. Inuyasha blocked the path.

Kagome's eyes widened as she relized she still had Inuyasha's fire rat cloth.

He glanced at her.

"Dammnit, Kagome! Just stay back and stay covered!"

"But you-"

"Stay back!"

Kagome nodded and shrank back, his kimono held around her like a cloak.

She shrieked as the fire caused a beam to crack and fall, blocking the exit.

Inuyasha growled. "Blades of Blood!"

The attack hit Naraku, causing him to wince and swipe at Inuyasha with his sword.

Inuyasha raised Tetsaiga in dfense, but he was still already weak.

Naraku slashed at him, but the swords were caught together, as Inuyasha stopped him from attacking again.

He growled. Naraku laughed.

"You'll die soon enough, Inuyasha.."

Kagome's head was throbbing, and it felt like it was being ripped apart.

I'm his shard detector..no, he cares about me..he kissed me..called me Kikyo..I went home..it rained..I..

Kagome gasped, her head still pounding.

Naraku readied his attack, the red orb of power growing larger.

He'll be killed! Kagome thought.

Kagome slowly stepped towards them.

"I..I..I love you, Inuyasha."

The hanyou's ears perked at this, although he still didn't move from his defense.

Naraku laughed cruelley.

"Too bad she'll have to see you die."

Kagome ran towards him, and threw the fire rat cloth around him, leaving herself bare.

"I remember!"

There was the blast from Naraku.

And then it was dark.
