Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anything involving Inuyasha. You all should be happy I updated!!!!!!!

A/N: Okay, so I didn't make it up to you all, but this time I'll make sure I do. *cowers* no hitting! Well I'll be nice and try to make 2 chapters and post them the same day. Also I'll try making them extra long. I think I've got a new obsession that is going to be second to Inuyasha. Wolf Rain. (^_^;; what I love any anime with guys with long hair and somehow it's related to animals or youkai. Yea, it's just their hair and eyes.)

Chapter 7: Where it Ends?

Kagome and Inuyasha landed in a thump on the bottom of the well.

"Ow" Kagome rubbed her butt.

Inuyasha obviously wasn't ready for any of this and was on the ground lying flat on his face while Kagome landed hard on his back. Kagome looked down on him in his original form. His Hanyou form. This was Inuyasha. This was really him. Inuyasha, but he just didn't remember. Atleast she had a kind of lead that this was Inuyasha. It just has to be. Then the painful moan of coming back to consciousness came back to Inuyasha. Kagome quickly hopped off of him.

"Sorry, sorry." Kagome smiled forcefully getting ready for shouting and a long conversation of explaining things. Oh dear kami, what have I've gotten myself into?

"Eh." Oh shoot, Inuyasha's at a lost for words. He's probably picking what he wants to yell, shout, and glare menacingly at me first. Kagome thought taking a step back.

"Inuyasha are you alright?" Might as well go with the nice and friendly first.

"Fine, I just never knew you were this heavy in my life."

"Well, I'm not, but probably after I made you carry me on your back over a period of times......yea I think I kind of caused it...."

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"You're standing on my head..."

"Oh sorry, sorry"

After some readjusting and space moving the three finally recovered from their surprised fall. Kagome looked up at the sky. Yes, they were in the feudal era.

"So how are we supposed to get out of this old well?"

"Can't you just like jump out, with your demon strength?"

"Yea, I could, but how do you know that? Or wait don't tell me. Inuyasha, right?" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and he got ready to ascend.

"Yup, Okay Inuyasha, what I'm about to show you might come to a shock to you....."

"Okay, nothing now I think is by far as weird as things are getting a-oh kami...where the seven hells is the fucking well house?" Inuyasha stopped mid- sentence after descending on the grassy forest floor.

"Um...see I told you...we're in the realm of the demons sort of...ehehe.... Feudal Japan....we just went back in time, oh I don't know, say 500 years?"

"Kagome, you better not be kidding me." Inuyasha said giving her an expressionless look.

"Does this look like a kidding face right now?" Kagome said plainly.

"No" Inuyasha simply replied. Dammit, this girl was full of fucking surprises. Right then they were out of the well and dusting themselves off. "And I guess I wouldn't be normal if I wonder why you aren't at all surprised at going here?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha "Oh I've been here before, I killed demons, defeated and collected these pink things that that demon awhile named as the Shikon Shards that once was part of the powerful jewel known as-"

"The Shikon-No-Tama" Inuyasha gasped.

"Yea how would you-"Kagome said getting suspicious.

"It's this tale my um...brothers or guardians use to tell me."

"Oh." Could he be thinking of wanting to be a full demon again? No.

"Yea, they use to kid with me by telling me that I could become full demon if I could find it I'd become a full demon. Heh. I use to be really pissed at my "Human weak" powers. But I guess if I didn't have them I wouldn't be able to have a soul."

"Yea, well....Good. Wait, you come from a foster family?!" How come he hasn't ever told me this before?

"Yea, I never really heard much about my parents. I guess they gave me up for adoption for my...weird attributes. I have two male demon guardians. Ones more like a little kid and so he's my little brother you see? And the other one is just quiet and irritable and older so he's my older guardian."

"So how do you hide your demon characteristics?" Kagome prided. She started walking briskly towards the village as Inuyasha followed behind her explaining things, looking around, and trying to cope with all this new information. But somehow being here in this forest and with Kagome near him made him feel as if he belonged and felt at home. He hadn't felt that for a very long time. Never possibly. "I have a sealing spell. Except sometimes it's a bitch 'cause it falls off or some how rips."

"The bastard!" Kagome said sarcastically.

"Yea, I know" Inuyasha said not noticing the sarcasm dripping from her voice. "So how did you get yourself mess up in this big mess?"

"Oh well you see first of all I was a normal 15 year old girl. I just turned 15 and then I had to fall into a well. Where I first met the Hanyou Inuyasha. But here let me begin about everything. You see it was my birthday and then Souta was at the well getting Buyo. And that's when-"

Kagome spent the rest of the time telling him bout all her adventures and meeting with new friends. Then she came to the part where Inuyasha was to go away forever.

^__^

"But then you know I couldn't take it anymore so I came back to my time and a year or so later I met you."

"Wow. So that's a lot background." A scent caught Inuyasha's nose. What was that scent? It smelt like burning and blood. "Kagome where was the direction of this village you were talking bout?"

"Oh it's just a little ways over that hill" Kagome said pointing towards the direction of the burning and blood's origin.

"Kagome, there's this smell. It's like-"Then Kagome noticed the smoke just starting over the hill.

"Oh no. Inuyasha can I borrow your back again?"

"Kagome not again........." Inuyasha said getting impatient.

"No I really need you to help me. The village is burning. It's a demon!"

^__^(you all probably think I'm going to stop here, huh?)

Kagome and Inuyasha arrived not so late. The demon had just attacked and the village was lucky that the two came just in time. It was a snake demon. The demon had green and red scales glistening down to its tail and it had a cobra's hood at its head. It had white fangs and a yellow face. There was no sign of any human attributes except for the stretches of some syllables in its speech.

"Where are the Shikon shards? Old woman?" Hissed the snake demon. It was talking to Kaede while she was below it holding her boy and arrows. Townsmen were behind her ready to help. They were armed with bows, arrows, spears, and some even had a sword. But they were all cowering but stood their like brave men. Heck, if Kaede could do it then they sure could. They were the only signs of life in the village. The woman and children probably were gone into another valley or the hiding place.

"Ye better leave now! Demons like ye aren't worth this village's time. The Shikon Shards are nowhere near here. It's in a different time and place now. Ye waste your time coming here searching for nothing."

"Woman, if you say you speak the truth then I shall feast upon all of you worthless humans and gain strength and move on to find the jewel shards. I shall pillage your village and find the jewels myself for you have deceived me, the Great Sune-ku."

"Then we have no choice." Kaede and the villagers began their attack of spears and arrows but the snake's skin was too rough to even be penetrated. But the small group tried and losing many by injuries and unconsciousness. Luckily none had died yet. Still if the wounds weren't tended right away many would not survive by nightfall.

Kagome and Inuyasha rushed towards Kaede's side. Inuyasha had no clue what he was doing but knew he had to defeat this demon. Kagome met Kaede and worked out what to do.

"Kaede!"

"Kagome and...Inuyasha?!"

Inuyasha just gave her a nod.

"Nevermind, I'll explain later. Let's just kill this demon"

"Yes, child, tell me your adventures in the future later."

"Kaede, leave with the village men. Many are wounded and injured and need care right away. Inuyasha and I will handle the rest."

"Yes, Move out men. Bring the wounded and unconscious with us. Lady Kagome shall stay here and defeat this demon with our new found ally." The village men looked at Inuyasha and Kagome. Men showed shock at seeing the Hanyou back and others just moved on.

Kagome's face was alight from the fire. Her cheeks were a bit smudged from the ashes flying from the burnt huts and her outfit was a bit sweaty. "Inuyasha, I want you to move far away from here." Kagome said in a low voice.

"No, I'm going to stay here and fight"

"Don't argue with me. You are going to. I just want you to sneak attack it when it's mainly focused on me."

"Kay"

Kagome ran up to the demon shooting an arrow right by its heart. It flicked its tail at the arrow as if it was just a mosquito. Except it didn't know that the arrow burn its flesh. It howled in pain and anger and tried swatting at Kagome as its flesh burnt like acid.

Kagome shouted, "Now, Inuyasha!"

That's when Inuyasha came in swiping at the creature's tail, rendering it useless as it wiggled on the forest floor. "Take this, you overgrown garden snake."

"A Hanyou?" The snake stuttered surprised. It took that the Hanyou fled.

"Eww," Kagome's nose wrinkled in disgust as it still wriggled. Then the tail suddenly stopped moving altogether.

But then instead the snake suddenly grew another tail. Then it became obvious to Kagome. No wonder the snake had a powerful aura for such a lower class demon. He had a tiny sliver of the Shikon Shard in him at his heart. It was small but made a difference.

It was clear then that Kagome had to kill it. Before it could change into its true form. Kagome shot another arrow at the demon and ran into the woods. From the size of the snake demon it would be hard maneuvering around the many trees and other possible blocking objects.

The arrow missed only scorching the snake's side but it still hissed in pain. The wound quickly closed up and it was on the move again. "Stupid human, Why do you run away? You shall die in the end for marring my body!"

Kagome shot another arrow aiming for the head and then quickly notched another arrow with her purifying powers into it. The snake swatted dodged the next one taking itself not to be fooled once more but didn't see the next arrow. It swatted that one with his tail from reflex and once again his tail was cut off.

Inuyasha this time made a move for the eye and rendered his right eye useless.

"Get off me you stupid half-breed!" It cried in pain and anger once more.

"Now don't call me a half-breed, you worthless garden snake!" Inuyasha scolded as he gouged his hand and scraped the snake's nose.

"Enough! You stupid human breeds! I am Sune-ku! The powerful demon that is woven into children's fairytales at night to make them behave! I will not tolerate this insolence. Fools! I will finish you all off quickly. Do you think myself in this form is my true power?? No! I am not!" The demon hissed/hollered at them and started to glow a green light. They could tell the demon was shedding. It so emerged into something quite abnormal. It still had the same body except its face and tail was quite different. It had the green scales still except more of an emerald colour. It had red like designs and its belly now had a royal blue unearthly texture. It's now had two rattling tails and if you were just to see the body from a distance it would be called beautiful but its face changed that idea very quickly. It now had a head with four eyes. Two red ones on the side of its head and two slits like a right side diamond were in the middle of its forehead with the colour of a cloudy purple like lavender. Its mouth protruded out more into a beaklike thing where 5 tongues hissed out. Its nose turned out to a snout that was a yellow pale colour. It still had its hood though.

"Eww....you're ugly" Kagome said disgusted for the 3rd time that day.

"Aww.... your dead!" Said the now ugly snake demon. Even of its ugly form it was still stronger. 10 times stronger.

Kagome aimed her bow once more but the demon easily knocked it off. I should have thought this sooner...

The demon used its tail to slash Kagome aside making her arms have these slash like marks on them. Poison.

"Ku,Ku,Ku now you are poisoned stupid miko. You shall die in less then an hour." It smiled at its creativity and work. "Now for that faithful half- breed of yours..." He slithered away looking for the Hanyou leaving the girl behind.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried. No one was left to fight the demon. Now it was up to him. He jumped along the tree branches and quickly jumped at the demon. He could tell it was much stronger but his claws were strong. He quickly slashed the demon across its chest but it revived quickly. He tried digging into its chest but it still rejuvenated and all Inuyasha got was acid blood on his hand. He quickly wiped it on the snake's scales. What the heck? The snake started to writhe in its painful acid like blood. But still it quickly forgot about it.

It rapidly looked around. It had lost a huge amount of blood from the battle before and it need more blood to heal its own made wound. It saw the girl. Perfect. She was full of miko blood and was very strong. It would help him in equal of strength and food. It started to slither towards Kagome. But before he had to slam that pesk unconscious before resuming battle again. Inuyasha stupidly bounded off towards the snake. Realizing what it was doing slithering towards Kagome. Inuyasha panicked and angered ran blindly at the snake. It quickly swatted him against a tree unconscious. Anger filled him.

His bangs covered his eyes. He couldn't move. He needed to get to Kagome before that stupid ass snake would kill her. He could already smell the poison in Kagome's blood. It wasn't so bad. Just a dab of it. It would just make her weak for a while. Kagome was lucky. The stupid snake miscalculated the amount of poison it injected in Kagome. She wasn't going to die. Just be made weak. But she couldn't move about now. Paralyze and then pain would envelop her and then the poison would finally be rid of her system. Easy steps. But right now she was going to be eaten. And rage was filling him. He needed to protect her. He looked over at Kagome. She was opening her eyes a second ago. Now she closed them. She gave up too. Maybe he should......He felt so weak right now. If he were demon that monster would have died by now. Dammit. The rage was building up. He couldn't control it. Unconsciousness came. Kagome.....

Kagome could see in her slitted eyes the demon coming. It had pushed Inuyasha aside easily and now was coming back to her to do who knows what?? Eat her? She chuckled bitterly. She couldn't feel her body. So this is the end for the famous shard detector and her beloved Hanyou. Getting killed by a lower class maybe second-class demon. Heck, she expected Sesshoumaru or Naraku to do the job. Oh well it happens. Kagome closed her eyes. She might as well die paralyzed so she couldn't feel pain. Inuyasha was on her mind though. She hoped he'd make it out alive. Maybe another life time....yea...another.

The demon inched slowly towards Kagome. This was a kill worth his time. Hehehe. It hovered menacingly over Kagome. Its body became tense suddenly.

And now for the fatal blow.

A/N: So you all hate me right? Well so how was it? Good, bad? It plain sucked? Please R/R and I'll try my best of getting the next chapter up! I'm working on it right now!
