Full Demon, or Hanyou

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome stared at Kouga then looked down at Inuyasha's snarling face. She grabbed Kouga's arm that held the whip and pulled him.

"Kouga! Stop it! Don't do it!" Kagome cried. Kouga shoved her away fiercely.

"Shut up wench! And get out of my way!" Kouga ordered. Kagome stood in front of him, blocking Inuyasha.

"No!" she cried.

Everyone's sight was so focused on the fighting couple to notice Inuyasha. He smiled slyly and kicked his captor's stomach, pulling him down to restrain his cry. He took a key from the man's belt and used it on the chains around his wrists. Inuyasha tried to use it on the neck chain, but it wouldn't budge. Angrily, he flung it to the side and rose to his feet. At his full height he stood behind Kagome.

"Spoiled wench! Might as well give you some punishment!" Kouga threatened.

The whip flung out towards Kagome only to hit air. Inuyasha had grabbed her waist, pulled her against his chest and jumped to the side. They rolled on the ground and stopped, Inuyasha on top of Kagome. Inuyasha jumped away and crouched for attack. He motioned to Kagome and she stood to her feet.

"Kagome, give me the Shikon not Tama!" he hissed. She stared in confusion and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "It looks like a pink pearl!"

Her face brightened and she withdrew a pink pearl from her strap-necklace. Kagome gave it to Inuyasha and he held it tightly in his hand. (A/N: Personally, I haven't seen the whole series so I'm just going to make up this part, about the Shikon no Tama) Light filled his closed fist and rose around him in swirls, him disappearing in the blinding light! He cried out in a shout as it unraveled from him to reveal an Inuyasha Kagome barely recognized.

Two red tattooed tiger stripes were on each cheek, his dog ears gone and were replaced by elf like ears. The red stripes now and then raveled around his arms. He took the color around his neck and too easily snapped it from his neck. Inuyasha grinned in satisfaction, two EXTREMELY sharp canines sticking out threateningly. Kagome stared in fear at the demon before her. Inuyasha caught her scared gaze and just smirked.

"What? Don't like my new appearance? I don't think I'll change!" he said and laughed haughtily. He gazed down at the wolf. Kouga stepped back in regret, but Inuyasha grabbed his neck and held him high over his head. "Shut your whimpering, wimpy wolf! What's a matter? Scared? Thought so!" Inuyasha teased.

Gladly, he threw the wolf into a stone hard pillar. Kouga's head smashed first, blood seeping from a crack in his head. Kagome averted her eyes from the two fighting full demons, not being able to bear the blood. She closed her eyes and fell to her knees. She looked back at Inuyasha, only to see him standing over an almost lifeless Kouga. Inuyasha licked some blood from his lips, and then walked over to her. She turned her eyes away, not wanting to look at the demon.

"Yo Kagome" he called. She glanced up at him and didn't like what she saw.

"Inuyasha? What happened to you?" Kagome whimpered. She tried not to meet his eyes, but it was impossible for he bent down and tipped her head so she was looking in his eyes. Inuyasha squinted as he looked into her eyes.

"What do you mean?! I'm a full demon now! That's what I've always wanted to be! I'm not any pitiful hanyou" he explained. "Aren't you happy for me?" he asked, it was barely a whisper.

She reached up and felt the tattoos on his cheek. He just squinted down and stared at her quizzically. Kagome withdrew her hand and made it into a fist against her chest. She had forgotten about all the eyes upon her and the once hanyou. She cast her eyes towards the tiled ground. Inuyasha took her cheek in his clawed hand and she flinched as she felt the claws barely graze her cheek. He pulled her face back and stared into her eyes.

"Aren't you happy?" he asked again. Kagome took his wrist in her hand and pulled away, standing to her feet. She turned away, her bear back to him. Inuyasha stood and stared after her. She turned on her feet and looked at Inuyasha, tears brimming.

"I liked you as a hanyou. Now, you are just too power hungry like all those other demons. Like Kouga for instance. He just wanted to rule, while he cast me aside. I don't want you doing that to me too" Kagome said, her eyes hardening a bit. She turned on her heel and walked, but soon her walk turned into a hurried run. Inuyasha stared after her, surprised and a bit ashamed.

"Kagome . . .?" he whispered.

~*~*~*~

Kagome sat on her bed and stared out through the window, not caring about life. She went to the window, sat on the edge and stared out at the lake about a half a mile away. A knock erupted on the door and when Kagome didn't answer the door was opened without invitation. The chamber maid came in and sat on the bed.

"I'm Sango" she said. Kagome just nodded vaguely and kept her gaze steady. Sango fidgeted, a board expression on her face, and then she looked back up at Kagome. "Maybe you're being too hard on Inuyasha . . . I mean . . . look at his past" Sango said.

" . . . " Kagome's eyes squinted angrily.

"You see . . . I myself have known him for a bit. You must understand how he was treated when he was younger, and he the way he was treated even now, before he changed" said Sango. She sighed and looked at Kagome. "He was always being made fun of. Everyone calling him things like: bastard or half- breed. Where he walked was spat on by demons and humans. Inuyasha has had even his own brother prejudice against him for just being half-human and half-demon. His brother, a full demon, believed him a disgrace to their family and personally kicked him out when their father died. Inuyasha only wanted to be a full demon so that way people wouldn't treat him like the dirt under their feet"

Kagome looked up and stared into Sango's eyes, hoping with all her heart that she said the truth. Sango stood to her feet and went to the door, holding it open for a moment. She glanced back at Kagome.

"Just try to reconsider your thoughts about him. You remember how he helped you" Sango said solemnly.

Kagome watched her leave and sighed. That's when another knock erupted, but this time several at a time and they were harder.

"Open up Kagome!" the unmistakable voice of Inuyasha ordered. Kagome stared at the door, wondering if she should.

"Please, Kagome . . . "
