Hello again. I apologize it took me so long to update my stories. The last couple of months have been one busy thing after another. I finally got a chance to sit down late one night and type away. I added two more chapters to both of my stories. Enjoy and review. Thanks.

Chapter 15: The Sacrifice

All of Kagome's friends froze in fear of what has happened to their friend. They stood there in silence waiting for the smoke from the blast to clear. As the smoke cleared, tears formed on their faces, witnessing of what has become of their friend.

"Kagome, wake up." Yelled InuYasha as he huddles over Kagome's lifeless body.

The Sailor Scouts and Akane ran over to Kagome's body. "InuYasha, what happened?" yelled Akane.

Hot tears formed in InuYasha's amber eyes. "There was nothing I could do. I was the one who was supposed to protect her. Idoiot! Why did you do it Kagome? WHY?" Yelled InuYasha as his voice echoed throughout the whole room.

----Flashback----

InuYasha ran towards Kagome, covering her from Yukio's blast.

"I can't let you do this InuYasha." Yelled Kagome.

"WHAT?" yelled InuYasha.

Kagome turned their bodies and instead of InuYasha taking in the blast, she sacrificed herself and let the blast hit her, protecting InuYasha.

----End of Flashback----

Lita placed her fingers upon Kagome's neck. "She still has a pulse, but it's very faint."

"In a matter of moments she will be dead and there is nothing you can do." Chuckled Yukio.

"You idiot! You knew I would have been able to take the blast and come out just fine. Why did you have to be so reckless?" yelled InuYasha as he wept out his heart.

InuYasha embraced Kagome's lifeless body in his arms as the rest of the girls fell to their knees mourning for their friend.

"Deserves her right, protecting a worthless hanyou like you." Chuckled Yukio.

"YOU BASTARD!" yelled Akane as she gave a cold glare towards Yukio. "HOW DARE YOU?"

"How dare I?" chuckled Yukio. "She rejected me, so I decided to show her what happens to those who disobey me."

"We won't let you get away with this?" yelled Lita.

"Do you think you will be able to stop me?" chuckled Yukio.

"You bet your ass we can." Yelled Akane.

"STOP!"

The Sailor Scouts and Akane turned their attentions towards InuYasha.

"This is my fight. I am only one who can stop him." Yelled InuYasha, as his placed Kagome's body gently on the ground and turned around to face Yukio. "Kagome's sacrifice will not be for nothing."

"It took a worthless girl to protect you. What makes you think that you can defeat me?" yelled Yukio.

"Because there is something I know that you don't, you son of a bitch." Yelled InuYasha.

"And what is that?"

"This." Yelled InuYasha

"What the?" Yukio stood his grounds as he notice something different about InuYasha

"I will rip you to shreds, you bastard." InuYasha's body started to change. His claws and fangs started to grow longer, while eyes started to change color.

The Sailor Scouts, Akane, Ranma and Darien stood in fear as they witness InuYasha's transformation once again.

"INUYASHA!" yelled Akane. "What are you doing?

"It looks like InuYasha is transforming once again into that creature we witness earlier." Stated Ami.

"InuYasha. You can't transform." Yelled Darien.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't? It will give me enough power to blast this bastard to hell." Yelled InuYasha, as his demon blood started to take more control over his body.

"Because, what would Kagome think?" yelled Darien.

A pulse beaten within InuYasha. "Kagome?" (Flashes of Kagome's face ran through InuYasha's mind.

----Flashback of InuYasha remembering what Kagome had said to him during their travels together----

"I like you as a hanyou, InuYasha. You are strong enough as you are. You are fine the way you are."

----End of flashback----

"Kagome…." InuYasha turned his glance over at Kagome's body, with her head resting on Sailor Moon's lap. "Darien is right. Kagome wouldn't want me to transform for revenge." InuYasha started to slowly transform back into his hanyou self.

"Pathetic." Chuckled Yukio. "At least as a full-fledge demon, you might have had a chance of defeating me. Now you have no chance as a hanyou."

"Your wrong." Stated InuYasha, as he turned his gazed back towards Yukio's direction.

"What?" responded Yukio.

"There is something else that is more powerful than my demon side that can help me defeat you." Answered InuYasha

"What is that?" asked Yukio.

"Love." Yelled InuYasha

"What?" asked Yukio.

"Kagome's love for me will give me the strength to take you down." Responded InuYasha.

"Love will not save you." Chuckled Yukio.

"There is a lot you don't know. It was Kagome's love that has given me strength through our journey together. During our good and bad times. She made me happy, made me laugh, brought me joy, gave me peace and has always been there for me when times became bad."

"All I need is Kagome's strength to defeat you." Yelled InuYasha, as he pulled out his Tetsuaiga ready to fight.

The rest of the gang stared at InuYasha's determination to fight Yukio as we pan into Kagome's face. The scene dissolves into a flash of light and we arrived into a different scene.

"Kagome, wake up."
