DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own ANYTHING relating to Inuyasha...except that AwEsOmE (but evil) cheetah-dragon youkai! XDD

"Kagome! Kagome! C'mon Kagome! Wake up!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to shake Kagome out of her unconsciousness. "C'mon wench! Wake the hell up!" Inuyasha said with a little worry hidden in his voice. Kagome stirred and then woke. She looked at Inuyasha with wide eyes. Wide eyes that held betrayal, sadness, and anger. An emotion Kagome only wore when she and Inuyasha would bicker. But this was different. She was actually angry at him. Not annoyed or slightly angered, she was angry. Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat after this revelation.

"Inu-Inuyasha" Kagome stuttered, "let go of me." Inuyasha let go of Kagome as she sat up. "Go away Inuyasha." Kagome said with a sad tone. "Wha-what?" Inuyasha sputtered. "I said go away." Kagome said as she turned her body to face the stream. "Why? What the hell did I do?" he said with an annoyed and slightly hurt voice. "What did you do? What did you do? You're asking me? You went to go see Kikyo AGAIN and left us. We were attacked by a demon and I almost died! INUYASHA IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT I ALMOST DIED! And now I'm a hanyou! This never would have happened if you wouldn't have gone to Kikyo!" Kagome yelled as she finally snapped. All Inuyasha could do was stare, wide-eyed, as Kagome started to cry. "Ka-Kagome?" Inuyasha said as he put his hand on her shoulder. She shook it off.

"I said go away Inuyasha." Kagome said through her tears. Since he wouldn't leave she got up and decided to head back to camp. Half-way there she heard Inuyasha yelling at her to stop running. She didn't want anything to do with him for a while. Although, she had to stop when she scented another youkai. It smelled like trees and citrus. "Hmm...What could this youkai look like?" Kagome thought. Just then Kagome was tackled by Inuyasha. "Stupid! Didn't you hear me yelling at you to stop running? What if Sesshomaru saw you? He would have killed you?" Kagome then realized the scent was Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother. She sniffed the air and actually noticed Inuyasha's scent. It was the smell of trees and sakura flowers; giving him the smell of the woods, but with a more humanly scent.

Both of their ears twitched. A branch snapped and out of the bushes emerged Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha" he said in his stoic voice, "I have come to take the Tessaiga." He then peered over at Kagome and noticed her appearance. He scented the air only to find that her scent had gone from a humanly smell to more of a youkai scent...but still human. Hanyou. "It seems, Kagome, you have changed...No matter, I'll still kill both of you" he said as he lashed out with his claws and created his venom whip from his poison claws.

"SHIT!" Inuyasha said as he grabbed Kagome and dodged the attack. Kagome wiggled out of his grasp and went over to the sidelines and watched. Inuyasha pulled out his Tessaiga and attacked. "Wind Scar!" he yelled as the attack shredded the ground with its usual claw like slash. Sesshomaru pulled out his Tokijin and deflected the attack. He then rushed forward and clashed swords with his little brother. "Give me the sword or pay with your life...and hers." He said as he pointed at Kagome with his spare hand. She immediately turned white. "Shut-up!" Inuyasha grunted as he pushed Sesshomaru away and then leapt away from him. "Adamant Barrage!" He yelled as hundreds of sharp ended crystals shot out at Sesshomaru. He easily dodged the attack and slashed out with his Tokijin, sending a giant slash of glowing power at Inuyasha. He tried to distinguish the power with his giant sword, but failed and received a large cut on his left arm.

Sesshomaru took this opportunity to make another attack against his brother as he was being distracted by the pain of his cut. He rushed out and made several slashes at Inuyasha. "Aaaghh!" Inuyasha yelped as he was cut by the poison claws of Sesshomaru's venom whip. Blood was dripping off the Hanyou as he gasped for breath. "So easily worn out, so weak and yet you still won't back down. Inuyasha you are so stupid." He said as he lashed out with his poison claws once again. Inuyasha received a large gash in his forehead and a cut on his chest.

"Die." Sesshomaru said as he rushed forward with his claws ready to go straight through Inuyasha's chest. "INUYASHAAA!" Kagome screamed as she launched herself in front of him and took the blow straight through the right side of her chest. "KIIYAAAAAA!" she screamed as she felt Sesshomaru's deadly claws pierce her skin and go straight through her chest. Blood leaked out of the wound like a running stream. He pulled back his hand and Kagome started to fall to the ground and onto the bloody ground. Inuyasha caught her before she could fall. "K-Kagome!" He yelled as he caught her. "KAGOMEE! Sesshomaru you BASTARD!"

Since Inuyasha wasn't holding the Tessaiga, he started to go full demon. He placed Kagome on the bloodied grass of the battleground and started to growl as his eyes turned to a blood red with tiny slits of blue and a black pupil. Two purple claw like slash marks appeared on the side of his face as his fangs and claws grew longer and more deadly. He growled menacingly as he lashed out against his dumbfounded brother. He moved with incredible speed as he scratched the air with his bloody claws and created the Blades of Blood. Sesshomaru received a few cuts to his arm, chest, and face. With the precision of a lion on the hunt, Inuyasha sped around to Sesshomaru's back. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha growled as he made four large gashes on his brothers back. Blood gushed out and Sesshomaru was brought to his knees. He was gasping for air through his clenched teeth. "I have to knock him out or kill him...he's out of control." Sesshomaru thought as he clenched his Tokijin in his hand. He sent a huge power surge toward Inuyasha and quickly retreated on his flying fur tail. (If you watch the anime he rides around on the fur tail thingy on his shoulder) Inuyasha on the other hand received a rather large gash on his chest; spreading from right under his chin to the top of his right leg. He collapsed and turned back into a Hanyou...a barely conscious one at that.

MEANWHILE

"Sango, Miroku!" Shippou yelled. "What is it Shippou?" Sango said. "I smell Inuyasha and a lot of blood...also another scent that I don't really recognize. And then I smelled Sesshomaru. We have to go there now! I don't smell Kagome!" Shippou yelled as he and the group ran towards where he picked up Inuyasha's scent.

What they saw shocked them. The ground was torn to shreds and blood was everywhere. The trees around the battleground looked they had been flattened and then splintered into oblivion. But that wasn't even the worst part...Inuyasha was covered with a mixture of his and his brothers blood and was unconscious on the now red ground. He was still bleeding a bit from his wound on his chest and was barely breathing. They looked around the battlefield, only to stumble upon another form lying on the ground with a hole in its chest. It looked like another hanyou...but more familiar. "Kagome!" Shippou screeched as he scampered over to the figure. Blood was gushing from the hole in her chest and her breaths were so shallow that even Sesshomaru would have to be right next to her to hear them.

Sango and Miroku were shocked at what they saw and heard from Shippou. Miroku ran over to Inuyasha to try and bandage him up. Sango then rushed over to her sister figure Kagome. She was devastated when she got close enough to see her exact features. The hole through her chest was just gushing blood like a steadily flowing river. Her shirt was almost entirely covered in her own blood. Her breathing was low and she was in a puddle of her own blood. Sango then realized what her friend ACTUALLY looked like. She had inu ears, claws, fangs, and (now) a tail. What had happened to her that she could have changed her looks?

They dragged Kagome and Inuyasha back to their camp and started to dress their wounds. Inuyasha woke up after the bandages were applied and grunted as he sat up. All of the things that happened earlier rushed into his memory and he gasped as he searched the campground with his eyes until he spotted Kagome. She was once again unconscious and covered in bandages that were already soaked by the blood flowing from Kagome's wound. He stood up and walked over to her. "Kagome...if you wouldn't have jumped in front of Sesshomaru's hand you would still be okay, but instead you're almost dead and it's all my fault. I know I never told you this...and I have never said this to anyone besides my brother but...I love you Kagome and I need you to pull through and live!" Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, thanking the kamis that the others were asleep right now. He then gently placed his hand on the side of her head and took his thumb and ever so lightly wiped away the sweat from Kagome's face. Inuyasha laid down next to her and watched her as the night became evermore darker and the night went on like nothing had ever happened.
