--------------beginning.

Inuyasha growled. As long as Kagome was in Naraku's posession, he wouldnt be able to attack Naraku with injuring her. His growled became even more threatening. But Naraku just smirked. Koori and Arashi ran up both growling. "Get back you two!!!" Inuyasha yelled. But the kids seemed determined to -though it was obvious they couldnt- defeat Naraku.

"Kori no ha!!" Arashi yelled slashing his clawed hand through the air. Five blades, resembling a blue crystal version of Inuyasha's blades of blood shot toward Naraku. But Naraku didnt flinch, not trying to shield himself or anything. But it was obvious why. After all five blades slashed into one of Naraku's many tentacles, the wound was extremely weak. Not even enough to kill a human with direct blow.

Naraku glared at the children, shooting a huge sphere of miasma at them. Inuyasha leapt out. Hooking one child on each arm, the three hanyous narrowly missed the attack. After tumbling and finally coming to a stop Inuyasha dragging both children a little ways into the forest. He knelt in from of the twins, "Dont. Move." They replied with a single, blunt nod. With that, Inuyasha ran back to the battle. Back to Kagome.

"Inuyasha get away!!!" Kagome yelled when she saw Inuyasha running back to the battlefield. Inuyasha looked up at her as if she -and he was starting to think really was- were crazy. Why would she want him to leave? Then, it struck him. The new moon. Tonight was the new moon!!! He looked to the sky. The sun was beggining to set. He didnt have that much time. If he was human, there was no way he could cut down Naraku. Inuyasha charged, no way was he just leaving. He began to hack at Naraku's lower body...er...tenticals.

Miroku looked at Sango. They knew if they all attacked at once, Naraku couldnt use Kagome as a shield. Miroku ran up beside Inuyasha, hacking away bits of the evil hanyou. Sango ran to a spot a slight distance from the boys. They were all mindful of where Kagome was. But Naraku just smirked, not even moving Kagome.

"AHH!!" Kagome screamed as one of Naraku's limbs rapped around her ankle, crushing and pulling it all at once. There was a sickening pop and Kagome let out an even stronger ear splitting scream. Inuyasha growled viciously. But his attacks werent being as effective as usually, since the mountains now covered the bottom edge of the sun.

Kagome could barely breath. Naraku was crushing her. And then, he probably just broken her right ankle. She could see the sun was setting now as well. Soon, Inuyasha would be human, but she knew he wouldnt stop fighting. But she also knew, in his human form, he didnt stand a chance. "Inuyasha!!! Get away!! Now hurr-" Kagome cried out yet again, Naraku had tightened his grip so hard now, she could barely breath, let alone speak. But Inuyasha just growled louder as his attacked harder.

'I have to save Kagome.' Was all that ran through his mind.

Miroku swung his staff and Sango repeatedly slammed her hiriakotsu into Naraku, Kagome was like a sister to them, she was the one who had brought them all together, and she was one of the kindest people they had ever met. They hated hearing her in pain. And by now, they both remembered just what night it just happened to be. They both looked to the sun, it was now half way beind the mountains. This needed to end. Soon.

'Inuyasha...' Kagome thought, she couldnt speak at all, and her breaths could only come as shallow and slow. Everything kept the same for what seemed like hours to all involved. Sango and Miroku would try to cut their way through the tentacles but they would regenerated to fast for them. The children hid in the nearby trre cover. And Inuyasha, he put all his power into every blow, though, onlu being able to hatch with his tessiaga proved nearly useless.

The only seem that seemed to come fast was the utter darkness of the moonless night. Kagome watched in absoulute terror as the last rays of the golden sun slipped beyond the horizon. 'Inuyasha!!!!' She mind screamed. Inuyasha's body pulsed. In less then 5 seconds, Naraku would know Inuyasha's most dangerous secret. Five. Four. Three. Two.
