Hey everyone! This is my last chapter of my story. I wanted to get this done before I moved on to anything else. Once I'm done with this, I'm gonna continue with my South Park fic: It's Friendship 2, and after that I'm gonna continue working on my Madagascar fic: Wild Titanic. I know that's the one I haven't been working on recently, but it's a lot to work on and I wanted to get other things on the way. Anyways, the name of this chapter is the same name of the track I listen to for this. I actually listen to the Signs soundtrack and imagine everything. Please enjoy!

Chapter 8: The Hand Of Fate

InuYasha felt so guilty for what happened. He let the alien spray Kagome, and she could have died. He felt the whole thing was his fault. It made him think about what happened before. The last time she got hurt.

Start of flashback:

"Where to now?" InuYasha asked.

"Keep going, Master InuYasha," Meoga said as he was in his shoulder.

InuYasha started running. "Is she injured?"

"It depends on what you call injured."

"We're getting close, I can smell her!." He jumped high then landed and continued running. 'If only I didn't go to see Kikyo. I would have been here and wouldn't let this happen.' " There she is!"

That half demon opened his eyes and heard the voices of Miroku and Sango.

"Not a lot of people were lucky," said Miroku. "We were, though."

"I hope Kirarla was."

"Hey," InuYasha started as he stood up.

"InuYasha," Miroku said as he looked at him.

"I heard what you said. You think they're gone?"

"I went out early this morning. I met lots of people. Lots of their loved ones died. But they said they left."

"Why?"

"They said that others found away to beat them," Sango answered.

"Some one wounded was left behind," said Miroku.

InuYasha looked out the window.

"Do you sense any of them?"

It was silent for a moment. "The only thing I can smell is blood. Must be all the people that died."

Miroku and Sango both knew that he was upset. They knew that he wanted to do more. But there was nothing he can do.

The dog demon looked over at Kagome, who was sleeping next to Shippo. The 15 year old looked very pale. "She still looks sick."

"She got most of the poison out, right?" Miroku asked.

InuYasha nodded doubtfully.

"She's probably still sick from being overwhelmed."

"Miruko," Sango started, "do you think it's safe for the rest of us to go outside now?"

"People said they left. InuYasha?"

"I don't smell any of the aliens," he said.

Sango then looked over at the walkie talky. She walked over to it and listened to it. "I don't here anything. Not even a muffle?"

"That's good enough for me then," said Miroku.

"Yeah," said InuYasha. He opened the door, and found nothing around. He started to feel a little bit better that the aliens were gone. But he was still mad at himself for letting Kagome get sick.

Both Sango and Miroku came out. "I don't see Kirarla anywhere," said Sango.

"If she got killed, her body would be laying here," said Miroku. "I'm sure she'll be back."

The demon slayer nodded and turned around when she heard a yawn.

Sleep Shippo walked out rubbing his eyes. "It's safe?" he asked.

"Yes," Miroku answered with a smile. "Shippo, will stay here and watch after Kagome while the rest of us go get some water."

The fox demon nodded. "Of course." He walked back into the hut as the others, except for InuYasha started to walk off.

"InuYasha, aren't you coming?" Sango asked.

The half demon was sitting doggie style on the ground. He shook his head. "I think I should stay."

The monk and demon slayer both gave him a look, but nodded and walked off. "It will just take a minute.

InuYasha sighed when he heard Shippo's voice.

"InuYasha."

"Huh?" He turned to the fox demon. "What is it, Shippo?" he asked in an exhausted voice.

"I think the window is broken."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, did you break it last night?"

"Probably."

"Can you fix it?"

"Let me see." He got up and followed Shippo into the hut.

But once they got in there, the two of them froze, and their hearts started pounding when they saw an alien standing, holding Kagome, letting her dangle.

Shippo gasped.

"Kagome..." was InuYasha could say as he stared at the alien, who was staring back at him.

Sango and Miroku finally came in, but gasped when they saw what InuYasha and Shippo saw. "What..." Sango said.

"Kagome..." Shippo started.

"Wait," the half demon interrupted him and looked at the alien more closely. He then looked at Kagome, and looked at one of the alien's hands. Two of it's fingers were missing. And that's when InuYasha knew who he was looking at. He remembered the one that Kikyo locked up in that hut. He cut off it's two fingers with his sword.

The others did nothing, as InuYasha went into deep thought while he looked at helpless Kagome. He thought about him running that day with Myoga on his shoulder. Myoga telling him that Kagome was hurt. He sensed Kagome. And kept running when he saw her.

Flashback:

InuYasha leaned down to Kagome, who was laying down on the ground, beaten up.

"InuYasha..." she started weakly.

"Kagome," he said. "Are you ok? Who was it?"

"Kaugra."

InuYasha glared while growling. "Kagome...I..."

"Where were you, InuYasha?"

The half demon turned red when she asked that. He couldn't tell her he went to see Kikyo. But he could tell by the look on Kagome's face that she knew where he went. "I'm so sorry, Kagome. Please believe that."

She nodded.

"I promise I won't let this happen to you again. I won't let you get hurt."

She nodded.

Another flash back:

"What is it, Lord?" Jaken asked, as he stood in front of the lakes.

"Nothing to worry about," Sesshomarua replied.

"Who did it?" Rin asked.

But the demon walked off as the two followed.

Last flashback:

"Please promise me you won't be stupid and attack like that," said Kagome as she was sitting with InuYasha, like a couple days ago.

He nodded.

InuYasha still stood standing, not doing a thing. Not even talking his sword off. That would break his promise. He kept staring at Kagome, just like everyone else was. The alien was glaring at all of them.

The half demon then looked over at Miroku and Sango. Miroku holding his staff. Sango holding here boomerang. "Miroku, Sango," he said silently so the alien wouldn't hear.

The two looked at him.

"Do it. Just like we planned."

They knew after a few seconds what he meant and they both nodded while looking at each other. Miroku got ready, and slowly started heading for the alien, who gave a curious look, while Sango put her air mask on.

The monk stepped closer.

The alien suddenly sprayed gas into Kagome's nose, which made Miroku grow shocked.

InuYasha gasped.

Shippo gasped and cried at the top of his lungs. "Kagome!"

The alien looked at Shippo, completely ignoring everything else.

BANG! Sango hit the alien on the head from behind, causing it to drop Kagome on the ground.

InuYasha quickly ran up and picked her up while the alien was in pain. He slowly started for the door so the alien wouldn't do anything. If he went fast, it would probably attack.

The alien stood up and glared at Sango. It sprayed gas at her, but nothing happened since she had an air mask on. It then hit her, causing her to fall to the ground, and the air mask flew off. The alien was ready to spray gas at her.

"Sango!" Miroku cried.

"No!" The fox demon exclaimed as he ran up without thinking, and shot his fox fire at the creature's shoulder.

The alien suddenly screamed in pain, and looked at it's shoulder, and saw that it was red and gross.

The others were shocked, including Shippo, who just looked at it.

"Shippo," Miroku started as the fox demon looked at him, "your fox fire."

Shippo looked at again, still shocked. But finally gave a look as if he knew what he was suppose do to, while InuYasha ran out with Kagome, and lay her down in the grass.

The alien gave Miroku and Sango a glare, ready to spray them, when Shippo shot his fox fire again, this time at it's back. The creature screamed with pain. The only thing Miroku and Sango could do was distract it.

Again, the alien almost attacked, but Shippo shot again, this time at the legs, causing it to fall down on its back. The alien looked up and saw the fox demon look down at him quickly shot fire on its face.

After a bit, the aline stopped breathing, and it was quiet. Shippo stood there, shocked, but relieved. "You were so brave, Shippo," said Miroku.

He briefly smiled at them, but frowned when he remembered Kagome. The other two did as well and they all ran outside.

"Kirarla!" Sango exclaimed when she saw the cat demon fly down. She gave her a hug, then followed Miroku and Shippo to InuYasha.

"Kagome..." InuYasha said. "Come on...please..."

"InuYasha!" Miroku exclaimed as he ran over and stopped.

"Please Kagome. Please."

"Oh no," said Sango.

"Please say she didn't breathe in it. Did she breathe in it?"

"I don't know," Miroku answered, "I didn't see."

"Come on, Kagome. Please wake up."

"InuYasha?" said Shippo as he stepped forward.

"Stay back, Shippo!"

That started him, so he jumped up and started to cry.

"Kagome, please!"

Miroku tried to hold in his tears, but couldn't, and turned around.

"Oh," said Sango as she covered her face and started to cry. Kirarla just stood there, trying to comfort her owner.

"Come on, Kagome," said InuYasha. "You can do this. Come on. You told me that you were scared for me. And that you didn't want to leave you. Now please..this time...you don't leave me. Please..." He slowly closed his eyes and hoped for the best.

"InuYasha...."

The half demon opened his eyes.

Shippo's mouth dropped, Miroku curiously turned around, and Sango's eyes went wide. InuYasha curiously looked down at the girl. "Kagome..."

Kagome was pale, but she was awake. "Is it over?" she asked.

InuYasha gasped, and looked at Shippo, who also gasped. He didn't want Kagome to worry about that. But he answered. "Yes," he said weakly, "it's over."

Kagome slowly sat up and briefly smiled. The she put her arms out, ready to give a hug.

InuYasha wrapped his arms around her, giving her a ten second hug.

"Kagome!" Shippo cried as he jumped into her arms.

"Shippo!" she exclaimed and hugged him.

"I was so scared for you!"

"It's ok."

Sango sat down and gave her a hug. "Oh Kagome. How did you do it?"

"I knew," she answered. "I knew what was coming. So I held my breath."

"You were so strong despite how sick and weak you were," said Miroku.

InuYasha sighed with relief.

A couple days passed. By then, the alien was burnt to ashes, and everyone was living their normal lives. Kagome was cooking, while Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Keade talked.

InuYasha, on the other hand, was standing in front of the fixed window, looking out. He thought about the whole thing. He felt so guilty for letting all those people get killed. He also felt horrible for letting Kagome get hurt. But she forgave him after she knew he seemed upset..

The half demon crossed his arms. I'll never let you die...Kagome.

"InuYasha," Kagome called.

He looked back.

"Lunch is ready!"

His thoughts of the aliens were forgotten, and he quickly headed for the others, ready to eat.

THE END

This story is based on the movie, SIGNS. SIGNS is not mine and InuYasha is not mine. But this story is mine. I don't want anybody to think I'm playserizing.
