O.k. Hello, Here's a short chapter for the Christmas season since; I can't give you anything for Christmas I give you this chapter.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MY REVIEWERS!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inu-Yasha.

"Kagome get back down!" Sango yelled as Hiraikotsu came back. Why was she always in the middle of these things? There were demons everywhere. Why didn't any one sense them? Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were claw deep in blood with corpses lying all around them. They were back to back fighting the onslaught of demons that had formed a circle around them. Sango and Miroku were fending off demons while riding on Kirara, with Inu Tashio aiding them in the air.

"Why are you just standing there?" Inuyasha yelled drawing tetsaiga, letting go of the wind scar.

"The miko is probably scared stiff." Akitsu said slightly silencing the fighting for a moment. Most demons only ceased fighting to bow.

"Order among demons." Miroku whispered. Akitsu stood levitating in the air nodding to his entourage for them to continue their battle. It began again, demons screams piercing the air as the three inus fought side by side against another wave of demons. Sango, Miroku, and Kirara were being over powered, which is why Kagome was fighting one-on-one with Akitsu.

"So here's the wench that killed my son. I have to say I'm surprised. I did not think my son was so weak as to lose to you. A woman no less." Akitsu shouted trying to kick Kagome against her head which she blocked with her arm, throwing her leg up to nail him in his stomach, sending him flying a crossed the clearing into a pond of water.

"You insolent wench!" He screeched getting up. Snickers could be heard from the three inus pushing the waves of demons to their death. This only fueled Akitsu's anger. He started lashing out like a wild demon not even caring if his aim hit its mark, Kagome. Between blocking and feinting Kagome didn't have an opportunity to attack,

"So this is all the little miko has, I felt pity for my son, but now I just feel shame." Akitsu said getting sloppier with his attacks. Masses of demons were closing in on the two again only this time Kagome didn't think the others would be able to hold them off.

-Thubump-

"What was that?" Kagome whispered to herself causing Akitsu and everyone else to throw a questioning look at her.

"Let," one voice said

"Us," A second said

"Help," said a third

"You." finished a fourth.

Kagome hesitated looking at everyone. It was for their sake even if she didn't know what was going on.

"How?" she asked back as everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

"Give"

"Us"

"Your"

"Soul" They said and Kagome froze. Her soul. She'd die. Would she really give her life to save them? She thought as she looked over the battlefield below her as almost everyone she loved was cornered and torn apart. Would she be selfish and let them die or would she give up her life to let them live. If she did this it would be permanent perhaps but it's for them. They'll die if she didn't. It's all for them. She'd do it for them, for him.

"I…agree." Kagome said, nothing happened. Akitsu continued looking at her strangely and Kagome could feel two sets of inu eyes on her. The battle continued around Akitsu and her. Corpses littering the ground. Blood and burning could be smelled in the air, and screams could be heard from demons perishing because they were unfortunate enough to go up against the three inus.

"I AGREE!" she yelled even louder with confidence fueling her voice. The fighting silenced and everyone looked directly at Kagome, not even their harsh glances dimmed her confidence.

"Agree to what?" Inuyasha asked before a scream ripped through the air. Everyone stood and stared as Kagome's screams continued to pierce the air. Her body felt as if someone was piercing her from the inside out, as if some thing was forcing itself out. Strange and stronger it grew before she yelled until her voice faded and everything went black.

I meant for this to be the last chapter but I had no motivation to write the ending I wanted. So I am gonna be mean and make you wait muhahaha. I'll continue this soon. I am going TO REVISE THIS WHOLE STORY pretty soon. Hopefully it will be better.
