A/N: Wow, I'm attempting two chapters in one night. Then again... it did take me awfully long to post chapter 3... Heh heh... ' please don't hurt me for it. Okay, now I'm gonna warn all of ya'll with the weak hearts. Don't read this story unless you can truly handle ANYTHING! Now... On with the story...

Chapter 4-

Lost Souls

Mushin, Miroku, and Kagome stood staring at the crippled InuYasha in bewilderment. Miroku's arm was stretched out, protecting Kagome. "It's a though InuYasha is possessed or something..." he thought frantically. He swallowed hard and looked at Mushin, who was slowly wobbling to InuYasha. InuYasha's glazed eyes flicked towards Mushin hungrily, but Mushin didn't seem to notice the dark aura of evil that emanated from InuYasha's twisted body. Instead, Mushin reached for InuYasha with his chubby right hand with concern.

"NO!" Miroku gasped. "GET BACK! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"

It was too late though. Blood was flying everywhere and screams echoed in the veranda of the temple. It happened within seconds, but to Miroku and Kagome it seemed to go on forever. InuYasha's arm's and shin's ripping in half to free themselves of the Tetsusaiga. The Tetsusaiga ripped free of his neck too. His clouded eyes, that were usually bright and golden, became entirely white and his mouth that was drawn open widened even more, letting out an even louder, more distorted groan than before. His body that was practically ripped into pieces rose into the air, leaking out never-ending amouts of blood. He flung himself at Mushin and bit into the old man's neck, with nothing else but his teeth to attack him with... seeing as he had no arms so he couldn't use claws and he couldn't pick up the Tetsusaiga.

Mushin yowled in affliction. At first it was just a bite. Then a second. A third. And then... InuYasha sunk his fangs into Mushin's neck deeply and then began to fling him around, ripping his neck in two. Blood drizzled around in all directions like rain, only smellier. Finally, InuYasha's teeth ripped Mushin's neck completely in half and Mushin went flying out of his grip into one of the temple's sliding doors, leaving a streak of blood on the half broken down door.

Kagome screeched out boisterously in terror. Miroku stared at InuYasha in utter dismay. "...InuYasha... Do you realize what you just did?" Miroku asked absent-mindedly because he already knew. InuYasha was possessed. It was clear. "...Mushin..." Miroku hissed. "Oh god..."

"InuYasha..." Kagome thought with anxiety. "What has become of you...?"

InuYasha wriggled around in a pool of blood on the wooden floors. His legs poured out blood from the knee, where his legs ended because his legs were each broken in half. His arms ended at the elbows, which leaked out blood, like his knees. His long silver hair was caught in knots and stained with blood. His smile reached literally from cheek-bone to cheek-bone, his fangs looking unusually large. Blood trickled down from his eyes, running down to his his lips, his tongue flicking about fiercely, licking every single drop of blood. The symbol of a luminous green pentagon formed around him.

"This is far worse than what I first expected..." Miroku muttered beneath his breath, pulling out some sacred scrolls from his kimono. Her sent them flying at InuYasha. "Purifying Sutra Scrolls!"

INTERRUPTING COW RETURNS: MOO! (I don't know what Miroku actually says when he sends out those scrolls...)

InuYasha saw the Sutra Scrolls coming at him, leapt up and bit them into pieces with his teeth and then lunged at Miroku, his jaw drawn wide open. Kagome looked away, listening to the sounds of Miroku's last screams as he died. When she looked back she saw that he had been decapitated like Mushin and gasped in horrorification.

Kagome burst out in tears. "Oh god... InuYasha... Truly... What have you become?"

Behind InuYasha Sango rose out of the ground, which was now just a liquidy surface of blood. She looked like the same old Sango that Kagome remembered. Beautiful and strong. Only this time… "She's dead," Kagome murmured. "Dead."

InuYasha spoke once again in that strange distorted voice, "Indeed, Sango was dead. But now she is lost. She is a Lost Soul. Just like I am. Just like Miroku is and just like Mushin is. Naraku and everyone else will soon be Lost Souls too… And I shall be the only… remainder…" He paused to cough fiercely. "Run little girl, run… Perhaps I shall give you a ten second get away… Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven…"

Kagome didn't stay around long enough to hear number six. She was already long gone. Running away from the monster InuYasha had become.

A/N: Is it freaky at all? Oh well, last chapter is coming next! Wahoo! How will it end? I'm going to try to make it really dramatic and gory and whatnot… but I'm going skiing for the weekend so I don't know how long this next wait will be. Please keep posted. ;
