Sorry it took me so long! My teachers decieded to play "test everyday this week" with me. Not to mention work and friends. But I'm here!! It's all better now.

Don't own Inuyasha or the song. T.T

I would thank all of you who are sticking with me through this. You are all angels!

"I see your face with every punch I take, and every bone I break, it's all for you. And my worst pains are words I cannot say, still, I will always fight on for you."

Inuyasha brought her face close to his and breathed on her face gently. She relaxed slightly but still protested their closeness. Her hands pushed on his chest, begging to be released. He knew what he had to do now, and in his heart he knew it was the right thing.

"Come back to me, Kagome," he murmured, his breath tickling her lips.

"Inuyasha…No," she sobbed in his grasp.

"Come back," he repeated. And he brought her face closer to his and kissed her. It wasn't nearly like the kiss that Sango had given Miroku. He needed her to know how much he needed her, how much she would be missed if she left. Inuyasha poured all of his love and affection for the girl into the kiss, tilting her head to deepen it.

Kagome went lax when she felt Inuyasha kiss her. It was too good to be true but she didn't care. She would soak it up as much as was possible. So she grabbed his face and kissed him back like he were hers.

Inuyasha blushed when he felt Kagome grab his face and kiss him back with the same eagerness, but just pulled the miko closer and buried his hands in her soft raven colored hair.

Shippo went red to the whites of his eyes and ducked behind Miroku, who was sitting beside Sango in the one corner of the room. They were watching with gaped mouths as Inuyasha and Kagome kissed in plain sight to all of them.

When they finally broke apart Inuyasha opened his eyes to see Kagome staring starry-eyed at him. She was obviously confused and he watched as her head turned and surveyed the room around her, taking in all that was happening.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered. "Where are we?"

"At the inn, Kagome, remember? Remember the twin demons? They possessed your dreams and…and they made you see things…"

"Oh." Realization sunk in, as she looked over at Sango, Miroku and Shippo who were staring open mouthed at the two of them. Blood rushed to her cheeks when she became conscious of the fact that Inuyasha had kissed her in front of them and she had kissed him back.

Just then, a sudden overwhelming pain struck her forehead and she cried out as it felt as though something was being torn from her mind. Inuyasha stared down at her in horror as an indigo light shot out of her head and bounced onto the floor. The light separated into purple and light blue and then formed into the two demons, holding hands and glaring viciously at Inuyasha.

"How dare you!" Dosakusa cried. "You had no right…"

"No right to what? Save her?" Inuyasha challenged.

Aitou stared down at Kagome, who had suddenly begun to shake violently. He could see that the pain from her wounds and the shock from the dreams were beginning to set in. He just smiled and continued to stare at her.

Inuyasha noticed this and growled at Aitou, his ears flattening. "What did you do to her?"

The boy smiled beatifically. He looked more like an angel than a demon. "Nothing. Kagome is just remembering some of the things that happened in her dream that's all. It's a powerful thing, memory is, isn't it?"

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, shaking her shoulders slightly. Her eyes glazed over and she just stared up at him, pain no longer hidden in her features. "Kagome, it's all right. I'm not going to hurt you. That was…" he swallowed. "What happened?"

"You," she gasped. "You were a full demon and you…you…" He felt her hands on his chest begin to shake horribly.

"Oh god no," he whispered, shaking his head. "Kagome, no! You didn't dream that!"

"It hurts," she suddenly whimpered. "My back…"

"I know," he whispered, stroking her face. "I know. Here." Inuyasha took of his haori and draped it over her shoulders. "Hold on for me, Kagome. Stay with me."

"I will," she said, nodding. "I'm here forever, Inuyasha."

He allowed Miroku and Shippo to come over and attend to her as he and Sango readied to take on the twin demons. Miroku was too weak from Naraku's poisons to attempt to battle and of course Kagome was in shock.

Inuyasha growled and turned to face the twin demons.

Dosakusa's bright lavender eyes were now flaming. Her hands were balled up into fists and her body was tense as though she was ready to pounce.

"You stupid half-breed!" she cried, baring her teeth.

Inuyasha sneered and put his hand on the hilt of his sword. If it was a battle she wanted, it was a battle that she would get.

"Ooh," Dosakusa sneered. "The mutt's gonna challenge us, Aitou!"

Aitou who, up until this point, had been lingering in the corner of the room, watching as his sister lost her composure and Inuyasha broke the spell on Kagome. It was truly amazing, he thought, that despite the love the hanyou had for Kikyo, his love for Kagome was just enough to break the curse. Just a little piece of his heart, but it was enough.

"Aitou!" Dosakusa shrieked. "What are you doing?!"

He snapped out of his daze and glanced at Inuyasha, who was still snarling soundlessly at Dosakusa. His attention then turned to the tajiiya, who was holding her boomerang in her hands tightly.

"You're mine," she sizzled.

Aitou raised a hand and beckoned for her to come closer. She dived at him full on, swinging her mighty Hiraikotsu at the demon. Of course, it did little to affect him. He merely blended into the floor and disappeared for a second. He reappeared beside the demon-slayer, a dark smile on his striking face.

"Too slow, I'm afraid." He shook his head and raised his fist to give her a punch in the back. Sango barely had time to register what hit her before she was flying through the air, her front hitting the wall on the other side of the room.

"Sango, be careful!" Miroku cried helplessly. He wanted nothing more than to suck up those damn children into his Wind Tunnel, but knew that he would not be able to stand the immense power that radiated off of them.

Sango looked over at Inuyasha, who seemed to be locked in a dance with the sister demon. Their feet moved gracefully across the wood floor, trying to be the offense and defense at the same time. They both moved so fast that it was hard to tell who was hitting who and when. Every now and then Inuyasha would curse or Dosakusa would hiss, telling them what was going on.

Inside the battle, Inuyasha was steadily losing to the young girl. Her movements were unlike anything he had ever come up against. They were blindly swift and agile, yet she managed to make them so elegant and refined. Her body was small and young, making her a much harder target to strike down with his Tetsusaiga, unlike Naraku or even Sesshomaru.

"C'mon Inuyasha…" Kagome said weakly as Miroku's arms supported her. She knew that the only true way of defeated the twins would be to send the Backlash Wave at them to use their powers against them. It was the only effective way.

"Oh Inuyasha, is this the best you can do?" Dosakusa scoffed as she dove over another swipe of his sword. Her smile was sickly sweet.

"Shuddup!" he grumbled, trying to hit her again by jumping into the air. She easily dodged it and shrieked with laughter.

"After all we did to your precious Kagome… and you still can't muster up the strength to take me down. You really are pathetic. No wonder Kikyo wanted you to become human…this form is disgusting.

Something inside of the hanyou snapped at the mention of Kikyo. It was one thing to insult Kagome, one thing that he would never, ever stand…but when Kikyo was thrown into this mess when she couldn't stand up for herself…that's when Inuyasha got pissed.

"You…" he growled as he swung Tetsusaiga at her. It hit her in the chest—barely enough to make a scratch—and she tumbled backward slightly. He approached her and this time punched her face. "Leave," he added as she slid backward more. As he approached, Dosakusa watched as the sword in his hand began to glow and create purple swirls around it. "Kikyo," he hissed as he stood over her. And then, raising the sword over his head, shouted, "ALONE!"

Just as he was about to use his Windscar, something came out of nowhere and hit him in the head. He stumbled backward and clutched his head in pain, dropping his katana.

Aitou had been watching the scene, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. And just when the half-demon was about to attack his sister, did he attack first. He sent every once of power he had into the transfusion, sinking his body into the hanyou's mind. He dove around frantically, searching for something to haunt him with. At last he found something, something too good to be true. Here, he saw Inuyasha as a full-demon, Inuyasha as a mindless killing machine, attacking countless bandits and ripping them to pieces as though nothing but air. The demon dove further and allowed his victim to see what he was seeing, causing Inuyasha to groan in agony.

"No," he begged. "Not that…"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, moving slightly out of Miroku's arms. "What is that stinking brother of yours doing to him?" she demanded of Dosakusa.

She giggled. "Oh come on, Kagome, I'm sure you can think of something that Inuyasha regrets horribly. Something that is on his mind constantly…"

Kagome's gray eyes suddenly widened when she remembered Inuyasha as a full-demon…Inuyasha in the river trying to rid his hands of the stench of blood…Inuyasha gripping her hand as he thought about hurting her in his demon state…It all came crashing back down and she gasped in horror and realization.

"NO!" she screamed, shaking her head. "No, no, no! Stop it!"

Dosakusa shrugged. "Can't. Aitou's fooling around in there. There's nothing I can do to stop him."

Sango held up her weapon and aimed it at the child. "Tell you brother to release Inuyasha!"

She ignored the order and leaned back against the wall. "Make me," she whined.

Kagome reached across for her bow and arrow and aimed it at Dosakusa. "She said let him go!" she said.

The girl giggled. "Like you can do anything, you're too weak!" she scoffed.

Kagome released the arrow but Dosakusa caught it in her finger easily. She looked at it for a moment and then looked at her bow. "Kikyo's bow…" she mumbled. "I should've guessed as much."

"How do you know?" Kagome asked her.

"I can feel the spiritual aura coming off of that bow. It can't belong to someone like you, Kagome. Really."

She grimaced and looked down at Inuyasha, who was clutching his head, trying to shake away the visions he was having.

He felt the urge to kill inside of him, the urge to feel more blood. It ripped apart his soul despite his half demon state. It shook him, causing him to howl out, his ears flat against his skull. He had never felt so much pain, physical and mental.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome shouted, running over to him. She knelt by his side and put her hands over his. He shook violently and scowled in torture. "Inuyasha," she whispered into his ear. "It's all right, you're not there. It's your turn to come back."

I can hear you Kagome! He thought in his head. Her voice was clear but he could still see himself, feel himself killing. He could see himself facing off with Sesshomaru. The feeling to kill his older brother never stronger. Still, like lightning in the sky, he could hear Kagome's voice desperately shouting out to him, telling him to come back. But still his visions continued, shifting to a time when he had first met Kagome. The time that he had tried to kill her for the jewel. He had never told her how that plagued him now, how much he thought about that night. Aitou knew his regrets; his sorrow and dug into it, making him see it and feel again.

He felt himself soar over Kagome's fleeing figure, the power of the jewel calling out to him as he chased her. He swiped at her back, causing her to fall to the ground. The wind sent her scent flowing his way, filling his nostrils. Despite the feeling her scent gave him, he wanted the jewel. He wanted this imposter of Kikyo dead.

He chased her around, watching her figure retreating and then getting larger as he gained on her, his demonic speed carrying him far. She was on an old bridge, and as he jumped down to her, something flashed around his neck. A necklace.

Inuyasha heard voices around him, the old miko talking to the girl. He ignored them and stalked the younger miko, his eyes dark and ready to strike her down. But suddenly the girl called out the word that would hold his spirit…

"SIT BOY!"
