Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'm doing so many storys. Heh.

Disclaimer: I (sadly) do not own Inuyasha

Flash back:

She knew the three were behind her. Their images were there. Since they, too, were injured they had lost their invisibility. The rain was lightening up, but it was still pouring. She sniffed again. "Inuyasha. . . . . ." The demon caught her off guard and slashed at her leg. She growled. Throwing her instincts behind her she went to help Inuyasha. Please be ok until I get there.

The snake bit at his side. He winced. Now he was sure. It was over.

She ran, full sprinted. Finally. Kagome looked up. Her ears twitched when she heard the faint cry from Inuyasha. Her eyes flashed red when she saw him thrown to the ground. She jumped up, over the trees and soared down, landing on the demon's skull. Stone dead.

She had almost forgot about the other three until one bit at her good arm. She didn't wince. She didn't cry. She was angry. Kagome whirled around and slashed at his face. It yelped and let go.

Her blue mini skirt and belly shirt were coated in blood. Her tail dripped with mud. But she wasn't giving up. Never. Not till Inuyasha was safe. Not till her Inuyasha was safe. She would fight to the death.

The rain was fading into mist, though the air was still ice cold. Kagome's breath could be seen when she panted.

Inuyasha's eyes flickered open. He was leaning on the base of the tree. He was bloody, but not as bad as Kagome. He was in his human form, no ears, no claws, no fangs, no tetsusaiga. Well the tetsusaiga was there, but it would be useless until morning.

A growl rumbled in Kagome's throat. (cats can growl, trust me) One down, three to go. The snake demons hissed. Two circled around her, but one headed for Inuyasha. It was ready to finish him off. Kagome snarled and jumped in front of Kagome and sliced threw the demon. Another took the advantage and knocked her down. She hit the ground. Hard.

She stood up, but stumbled back down, slipping in her own pool of blood. She fell on her side. Kagome had reached a point she thought she would never reach, so much blood was on her she couldn't tell which wound it was coming from. The snake lunged again.

Kagome was knocked into the tree. Inuyasha winced. He would have growled, but he couldn't in his human state. He hastily stood up and drew his useless tetsusaiga. The snake demon laughed. Inuyasha slashed at its side. He cut him, but barley. At least it got the demon to stop laughing.

The snake demon hissed and swatted Inuyasha down. The other went to strike, but Kagome jumped in front. His fangs sank into her arms. She winced. "Kagome!" Inuyasha called to her. She turned and he caught her gaze. For a split moment she smiled slightly, but them the pain came back to her arm. Who new how much poison had entered her body since she had begun fighting the snakes.

Inuyasha thrust his sword into the snakes heart. Its grip on Kagome loosened and then fell. Two left.

The others hissed. "You really think you cane beat us? We've just started and your already half dead," one snickered. Kagome jumped over and punched one across the face. A snapping sound echoed out, like someone had stepped on a twig. She had broken one of it's facial bones, but not the one she wanted. Catching it in shock, she struck again. It fell.

The last one roared. "Not possible!" it yelled and slapped Kagome away. She fell back, and it went to strike while she couldn't fight back. She winced and waited for the pain. After a moment she peeked one eye open. The snake was in shreds. The sun was shining bright. Kagome blacked out.

Kagome woke up on the bank of a steam, with water being splashed onto her face. She moaned and turned away. She was back in her school uniform and her tail and ears had disappeared again. The danger was gone. A few moments later she opened her eyes again. Inuyasha was sitting a few feet away from her, staring off into the distance. He must have felt her staring because he turned to face her.

Kagome stood up weakly and walked away. She stopped when she felt his hand grab her wrist. Kagome looked down to the ground, not wanting to make eye contact. She had counted on fighting to the death. She didn't think she would get to be with Inuyasha again. She wasn't ready. She wasn't prepared. Kagome tried to take another step forward, but Inuyasha still held onto her wrist.

Tears formed in her eyes, but she dared not to let them fall. She sighed and tugged at her hand, but Inuyasha refused to let go. "Where are you going?" he asked, almost in a whisper. "Away," she said to the ground. "W-why?" he stuttered. ". . . . . ." Kagome gasped when she felt him pull her into an embrace. He held her tightly. "I didn't think I would ever see you again," he said while taking in a breath, obviously trying absorb her scent. "I can't stay," she said and pulled away. "I don't belong here, Sakura belongs no where," she said as tears streamed down her face.

"Sakura?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome didn't respond, instead walked away. "No Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped in front of her, blocking the path. She looked away. "Why did you leave me?" he asked. "What do you mean 'how come I left you' it's obvious!" she yelled. "I'm a stupid cat for god's sake!" she cried as tears poured down her cheeks. "Something's wrong with me!" she shouted still looking at the ground. Kagome jerked her head up and stared into the hanyou's eyes.

"Kagome that's not true! I'm the hanyou, I'm impure. I'm the dirty one. You could never be that way, no matter what happens to you!" he yelled back. "I'm not right! I'm not youki, or hanyou, or human! Neither!" she screamed out. Inuyasha pulled her into his arms. "That's not true," he whispered. Kagome wept harder.

So yeah, almost done. I'm still not sure how many more chappies to go though! Hehehe! Please review!
