Scene: Forest. Inu Yasha and the gang are on their way.

Shippou: Are you fully recovered, Kagome?

Kagome: Yeah, don't worry, Shippou. I'm fine again.

Inu Yasha: We're back here where it started. Where Kagome killed Akuma. But nobody aside from me seems to remember what happened. Not even Kagome seems like she would.

Sango: I wonder if we see Akuma ever again.

Kagome: I hope so. I'm not finished with him yet.

Inu Yasha: Oh no!

Miroku: As well as we know Naraku I think he'll use him more than once as agent. By the way Kagome, I wanted to talk to you.

Kagome: About what?

Miroku: About your plans regarding killing Akuma.

Kagome: Well?

Miroku: Well, I think you shouldn't kill him after all.

Kagome: Excuse me? Of course I'll kill him. He killed my father.

Miroku: I know. Nevertheless there are many things against doing it.

Kagome: For example?

Inu Yasha: For example the fact that you will change the whole course of time if you do so.

Miroku: Right. Wow, Inu Yasha I didn't think you could think so far.

Inu Yasha: I didn't do it at first and neither did Kagome but now she does, don't you, Kagome? (Kagome looks angrily at him.)Kagome. She remembers everything but she still wants to do it! She lied at Avataro!

Kagome: There wouldn't be a lot changes. My father would be alive then, that's all.

Miroku: I knew you were going to say that.

Sango: Kagome, what Miroku tells sounds reasonable. Maybe you should think about it.

Kagome: Keep your mouth shut. I will not. This is my last word.

Shippou: This is all your fault Inu Yasha! You run Kagome into a chaos just because you want Akuma dead!

Inu Yasha: Listen, little boy! (He holds him up from his tail.) It seems to me that you use to misunderstand a lot recently I don't want Akuma dead. As for me we don't need to face Akuma ever again. I don't want Kagome going on her own crusade because I know what will happen then and I will definitely do everything to prevent it from happening again. (Kagome looks furiously at him.) Oh yeah, I will.

Akuma: Again?

Sango: Akuma! He's back!

Miroku: What did I say?!

Kagome: Akuma, last time you could escape but you won't be that lucky again!

Akuma: Then show me your powers!

Kagome: I'd love to!

Inu Yasha: No, don't! You mustn't kill him!

Kagome: Shut up. Inu Yasha! This is my fight not yours! (She shoots an arrow at Akuma and misses him.)

Akuma: Isn't there anything else you can do aside from that? It's getting a little boring.

Kagome: Maybe it would get more interesting if you wouldn't avoid my arrows!

Inu Yasha: She's getting angry. She won't care about everything we talked. She just wants to have her revenge. FLASHBACK: AVATRO: WHEN I TURN BACK TIME ONLY FEW OF YOU WILL KEEP THEIR MEMORY. THE ONES WHO DO WILL HAVE TO PREVENT IT FROM RE-HAPPENING.) I have to stop her!

Akuma: Listen, reincarnation of a miko, I don't know what made you that angry at me but it makes the fight much more interesting!

Inu Yasha: Really?! Let's see how much I can do! (He draws Tetsusaiga.)

Kagome: No, Inu Yasha, stay out of it! You can't stand up to it!

Akuma: The girl is right. I can make you youkai everytime. Would now be a bad time?

Kagome: Leave him! I alone am your opponent! (She shoots another arrow and misses again.)

Inu Yasha: That's it! I have to distract her by being in danger! Then she forgets her revenge because she worries about me.

Akuma: Your attacks are easily to predict. You are no challenge from me. I knew it from the beginning. You're just some dirty human with a few spiritual powers that won't help you, now! (He attacks her.)

Inu Yasha: Kagome! (He saves her.) Are you alright?

Kagome: Yeah, put me down! I'm gonna kill him!

Inu Yasha: No, you won't! Kagome, you gave Avataro a promise! You mustn't kill him!

Kagome: It's too late, now! If I don't kill him he'll kill me! (She hits him to get free.)

Inu Yasha: Ow! Kagome! (He runs in front of her.)

Shippou: What is going on?

Miroku: I think Inu Yasha is trying to keep Kagome from killing Akuma.

Sango: This won't be easy. Kagome absolutely wants her revenge.

Inu Yasha: Think about it, Inu Yasha, this could go terribly wrong. When I transform again. I might kill Akuma and everything was worthless or I could attack Kagome again. But it's the only way to stop Kagome from killing Akuma. So if it's such fun for you why don't you infect me with evil again?!

Kagome: What?! Inu Yasha, what are you doing?!

Akuma: Yeah, why don't I? I'll make your wish come true!

Kagome: NO!! Inu Yasha!! (She runs over to him and hugs him tightly.) Why, Inu Yasha?

Inu Yasha: Go away, Kagome and hide! You might have to attack me with your arrows to defend yourself. (He throws Tessaiga away.)

Kagome: The hell I will!

Akuma: Let's go. Show me your true shape deep inside of you. Show me the proud demon!

Shippou: He transforms!

Sango: But why did he ask Akuma to do it?!

Miroku: I'm afraid Inu Yasha is desperate. He probably thinks it's the only way to keep Kagome from killing Akuma by making her worry about him.

Kagome: Inu Yasha, don't! Don't let yourself in for it!

Inu Yasha: Keep me from killing him. (He transforms.)

Kagome: Inu Yashaaa!!

Inu Yasha: You again. I thought I'd killed you already. Get off me! (He pushes Kagome away.)

Miroku/Sango/Shippou: Kagome!

Kagome: We've been that far already. (She sees Inu Yasha fighting against Akuma.) Eh? FLASHBACK: INU YASHA: KEEP ME FROM KILLING HIM.) Of course I don't let him kill Akuma. I wanna do that. FLASHBACK: INU YASHA: YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ATTACK ME WITH YOUR ARROWS TO DEFEND YOURSELF.) No, I won't do that! Never! That's exactly what Akuma and Naraku are waiting for!

Miroku: Inu Yasha miscalculated it. He won't stop from killing Akuma in this shape.

Shippou: Look, what Kagome's doing!

Sango: Oh no, is she desperate now, too? Kirara be prepared! You might have to save Kagome!

Kagome: I won't make it that easy. I want my revenge! I want to be the one killing him. Hey, you! Bad copy of a youkai! Hanyou-gone-mad! (Inu Yasha turns around to her.) Yeah, right, I mean you! Why don't you come here and get me without much effort?! I'm much more tasty than that youkai!

Inu Yasha: That's right. (He approaches her.)

Sango: Kirara, now!

Kagome: Maybe that wasn't that good after all. (Kirara saves her.) What?! No! Kirara, please put me down again! (She hides behind Kirara.)

Inu Yasha: You won't escape me. (He prepares to attack her. Kagome stands up, aiming with bow and arrow at him.) Come on, shoot, if you dare!

Kagome: I do!

Shippou: Kagome, don't!

Miroku: They're going crazy, both of them!

(The arrow misses him and approaches Akuma.)

Sango: Oh no! Hiraikotsu! (The Hiraikotsu wards off the arrow and hits Inu Yasha then.)

Kagome: Inu Yasha! (She runs over to him. He's unconsciousness. She reverses the transformation with Tessaiga.) Thank you, Sango!

Miroku: Have you planned that?

Sango: No, not really. I didn't want Akuma to get shot.

Kagome: It ends here and now, Akuma! (She shoots an arrow at him.)

Inu Yasha: Kongousouha!

(The Kongousouha pushes the arrow away. Akuma backs away.)

Kagome: Inu Yasha!

Inu Yasha: Listen, Kagome, if you don't stop trying to kill him we'll have big trouble!

Kagome: Shut up already! (She wants to shoot another arrow.)

Inu Yasha: Kagome, please! (He grabs her and holds her so she cannot shoot.)

Kagome: Inu Yasha, let go of me!

Inu Yasha: Hey, Akuma, I'm giving you an only chance! Push off as far away as you can but don't let Naraku get you!

Kagome: No!!

Akuma: Why would I buy that?

Inu Yasha: I'm serious! I spare your life! I don't want to have anything to do with you! Now get lost already!

Akuma: I don't really trust you. You absolutely don't want me to get killed. Why?

Inu Yasha: We have our reasons.

Kagome: No, we don't! Let go of me! I have to kill him! He'll escape!

Inu Yasha: Kagome, you mustn't kill him! You'll change the whole course of time again!

Kagome: No, it's not because of that! I did something wrong last time! I won't do it again! This time I'll do it right and save my father's life!

Inu Yasha: I'm sorry, Kagome, but I can't let that happen! (He takes Kagome's bow and throws it away.)

Kagome: What did you do!? How could you?! Let go of me!!

Inu Yasha: What are you still doing here?! GO!!

(Akuma leaves.)

Kagome: No-o-o-o! No!! (She breaks down.)

Inu Yasha: I'm sorry, Kagome.

(He takes her into his arms and holds her tightly. Kagome cries hard.)

Shippou: Poor Kagome.

Miroku: It's over. He got away.

Sango: I just hope he won't get killed by Naraku.

Miroku: I don't think so. I think we're in the right course of time again and Akuma will escape Naraku somehow so he'll still live in Kagome's time.

Inu Yasha: Kagome… Forgive me.
