I'm sorry for the wait! After the vacation we got right into exams and I had NO spare time, (tear tear) not even for DDR! Well I hope no body forgot about my story or hates my guts or something.

Oh, and (maybe I should have mentioned this in the beginning but) I'm horrible at rating fanfics. This story contains graphic scenes, gore, fighting, insanity and attempted suicide! Doesn't that sound like fun!

It was about six in the morning. All of the camp was silent. Everyone fast asleep despite all that had happened yesterday. The dog demon's eyes slowly opened as he started to wake up.

It was still dark. He laid motionless, staring up to the sky. The stars were getting harder and harder to see and the moons glow was fading as well.

"Almost dawn." He said monotoned, trying to sitting up. The blanket Kagome had put on him that night was covered with blood that had soaked through his bandages.

He had control now, but for how long? The feeling was still inside him. Inuyasha sighed and closed his eyes tightly "I… I feel so helpless." He whispered "They're in danger being anywhere near me, and they don't even know why."

He tried to stand up but couldn't. He was completely drained. The fight with Naraku had taken all that he had and then to be controlled to do even more. It was too much, even for a him.

"But… what triggers it. Why am I fine now but not last night?" He put his head down. A small tear fell from the hanyou's eye "Will this feeling ever go away?"

(A/N: Yes I HAD to make him cry. Infact I'm making him a crybaby this whole fic. Poor Inu-kun!)

Inuyasha took a deep breath of crisp autumn air as he tried to think of a solution. "Naraku must know a way to end the curse, but… how can I find him? And what could I do if I can?"

He turned and watched the sun slowly begin to rise. The others were going to wake up soon. "I have to get away!" he thought, felling the force inside him grow "I can't put then in danger! But, how can I get away when I can barely move!"

He looked around, hoping for something that could help. Then Inuyasha spotted the river, it was only two or three feet away from him. "I hope this works." He mumbled, crawling towards the river.

It's current seem very fast right now, and there were no big rocks in it as far as he could see. "It's the only way." He thought taking one last look at Kagome who was slowly waking. He felt an impulse, he was losing control! "Now or never!"

With that last thought the hanyou jumped into the river.

He held his breath until he thought he was far enough that no one would hear him. Then he gasped for air. He coughed and struggled to keep his head above the water.

"The current is stronger then I thought!" he thought as he flailed around in the river. His bandages were torn from him by the rivers great force and the water slowly turned red.

After about 17minutes Inuyasha reached his hand out and managed to grab a rock sticking out of the water. He coughed and tried to catch his breath.

He was already beginning to regret his decision. Him dieing wouldn't help anyone… would it. "I wouldn't be able to hurt anyone. They would all be safe." He thought loosening his grip on the rock "No! They wouldn't want that, no matter what! Snap out of it!"

He grasped tighter on the rock. "Gotta make it to shore." The river's edge was about a meter away. Inuyasha pushed off from the rock, hoping to reach land but he was to week to fight the current.

The river continued to pull Inuyasha. He reached his hand out trying to find something to grab. He felt something clench his hand!

He opened his eyes to see two young human boys pulling his arm. "Pull harder Shine!" one of them yelled.

Inuyasha used his other hand and eventually got out of the water. He laid on the hard rocks that surrounded the river, breathing heavy.

"We …did it Korosu! We really… did it!" One of the boys said. Inuyasha turned to him and guessed this is the one the other called "Shine" (pronounced SHE-NAGH)

"A course we did." The other one said trying not to sound out of breath.

"Are you …okay?" Shine asked

Inuyasha laughed "sure."

"Why would he be… he was just drowning idiot!" Korosu said

"Well I was just seeing if… you know… he was gonna die or something."

"Why would he? We saved him didn't we?"

"Humph"

"So, why were you drowning anyway? Not really the best day for a swim if you ask me."

Inuyasha didn't answer. He breathing had returned to normal but he had his eyes closed tight and wasn't moving.

"And what's with that scar? It looks so nasty! Where you in a battle! What's with all the bandages!"

Inuyasha still didn't answer.

"Hello! Did you fall asleep or something!" the boy asked looking at Inuyasha up close. The hanyou's eyes opened and he grabbed the boy's throat.

Poor kid. It was being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and being annoyingly loud! Do you think they'll make it? Just because it's two stupid kids against Inuyahsa and there names happen to mean die and kill, that still doesn't mean they don't have a chance right! Well that's all for now. REVIEW PLEASE!
