Hey guys. Mega later update, please forgive me!! Anyway, here's your new chap, lets make it to 400!

Together Part II

Kagome ran down the dark streets, as fast as she could. Wind whipping past her face, she turned the corner and continued to run towards a certain spider demon's house.

As she ran, the wind seem to pick even more. She ran off the sidewalk, and ran directly in the street, where the wind picked up most. What the hell? It's not like I need anymore problems right now! She thought, as she took one look at her part of the necklace that burned so right now.

As the wind seemed to pick up even more, Kagome slowed down more. She watched as the wind seemed to gather in one place in front of her and then materialize into...

Inu No Taisho!

Kagome's eyes widened. She had only briefly met InuYasha's father once or twice. And on those occasions they had barely spoken. Why would he suddenly appear before now of all times?

Inu No Taisho somehow looked out of breath and worried as ever. "Kagome, please, I need you to do something."

Kagome raised a brow. "What could I possibly do for you? I'm on my way to help Inuyasha as we speak."

"I know. I need to to give him something. Sesshoumaru and I can smell it. His blood has changed."

"Changed?"

Inu No Taisho nodded. "Yes, he's more full demon now than half."

Kagome smirked. "Well, how is this a bad thing? If he's suddenly turned full demon, that just makes him stronger, which means he can probably fight even better-

"You foolish girl! Inuyasha's half-demon body absolutely cannot handle my blood! In fact, the longer he stay's transformed, the more of himself he looses. Meaning his soul."

Kagome nodded, still somewhat in shock about the whole situation. "What could I possibly do?"

Inu No Taisho pulled a rusty black sheath from behind him and held it out to her. "This sword. And you're necklace. Let Inuyasha use the sword do what you can with the necklace, though I'm sure you'll know."

Kagome looked at the rusty sheath with wary eyes before taking it from Inu No Taisho's outstretched hand. She pulled the blade out of the sheath and quirked a brow. "What the heck can he do with this rusty piece of junk? It couldn't cut paper, wet!"

Inu No Taisho chuckled. "It can do more than you think. The Tetsusaiga." He said, as the wind started to pick up again.

Kagome watched as Inu No Taisho disappeared with the wind. She shoved the rusty blade back in it's sheath and put it on her belt strap with Midoriko's Sword. Shouldering her bow and arrows, she set off into the night, towards a certain spider demon's residence.

Inuyasha let out a savage howl as he fell from Naraku's large tentacle, his eyes blazing an even brighter red.

Naraku chuckled. "Inuyasha, it'd pitiful what you do for some idiotic girl, I mean, all their good for is one good, very good, fuck." He said, with that sickening smirk on his pale face.

Inuyasha stood up on shaky feet and flexed a couple of claws. "That may be true to a beast like you," he started, "but not to me. You don't even look at her as a person! Only as some sick plaything!" He roared in a raspy voice.

Naraku scowled. "Such a fool!" The teenage hanyou yelled, before sending another large tentacle at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha bended his weak knees and prepared to jump, but was stopped by a bright light.

Naraku let out a shrill shriek of terror as the light enveloped his tentacle. He released a loud howl of pain.

"Serves you right!" Inuyasha heard from behind him. Though, his brain was hardly functioning like it should, he recognized that voice and scent anywhere. Kagome... His demon barely made out, as he turned around to face the fuming girl.

Kagome took a couple of steps forward towards Inuyasha. "You're not even you right now, are you?" She said, reaching a pale hand out to touch his striped cheeks.

Inuyasha did nothing as she caressed his face, with such a longing and sad face. "Go back to being you." She whispered, right before Naraku swiped her out of the way. With a loud scream, she went flying through the air and off to the edge of the roof practically.

Inuyasha let out a savage howl and charged after Naraku, who laughed haughtily. "So you're 'used merchandise' decided to show up! How cute! She's defending you!" He yelled, swinging his tentacles everywhere.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha roared, his claws slicing one of Naraku's tentacles into tiny pieces. Inuyasha stopped and howled as claws grew even longer, and his fangs, if possible, got even longer, much past his lip. His demon howled with him, and his howls turned into shrieks of pain. Wait, pain?

Meanwhile, Kagome pulled herself over the ledge she had been hanging from on the large roof. She froze when she heard Inuyasha's shriek of pain. Quickly scrambling to haul ass, she threw the Tetsusiaga sword to drop a little weight.

"Inuyasha!" She shrieked, running towards said half-demon who was on his knees howling in pain. Why is he inn so much pain? Is this what his father spoke of when he said Inuyasha's body couldn't handle all the blood? She thought, as she ran and practically threw herself in front of the raging hanyou.

"Inuyasha, why are you in so much pain!?" She yelled, as the necklace burned her pale sensitive skin.

Inuyasha let out a shriek in response and Kagome took it upon herself to erect a barrier around the two of them. "Think Kagome, think damn you!" She yelled at herself, as she gripped Inuyasha by the shoulders, trying to stop him from moving around.

Inuyasha threw his head back and let out another loud shriek into the night. His eyes had turned as blood red as the moon was becoming. He dove his claws into Kagome's arm's, clenching her arms tightly, trying to find something to help brace himself.

Kagome bit her lip and whimpered, at the pain from his claws. "Inuyasha, what has you in so much pain?" She asked.

"Blood...too...much..."

Kagome gasped. "Do you mean that you lost too much blood or the blood is too much for you?"

Inuyasha's hold on her tightened as he let out another loud shriek. "Neck...cold...blood...no...more..." He rasped out, very slowly.

Kagome understood now. The necklace chilled so because Kagome was in pain as well as he. With a trembling hand, and her barrier just about ready to disperse, Kagome ripped his portion of the necklace from around his neck.

Inuyasha's screams only grew louder. Kagome bit her lip in concentration to try and put the necklace parts together.

Finally, they stuck, but nothing happened and Inuyasha's screams continued. InuYasha's probably lost part of his soul by now, he's only half a soul! I need to say a chant or something! Kagome clasped the full necklace together in one palm, and started to read off the back of it. Loud enough for Naraku to hear even, as her barrier fell.

"Forever Love. Together we live, Together we fight, Together we'll die!" She practically screamed but nothing happened. Inuyasha's screams hardly quelled any. "Please! You have to work! I'll do anything, dammit!" She yelled at the necklace.

Kagome took a deep shaky breath as she noticed Naraku getting closer, and read the incantation thinking only of Inuyasha's recovery.

"Together we live, Together we fight, Together we die, Together, we'll become one..." Kagome heard herself say at the end not knowing where on Earth it came from. But, she stopped worrying about it when a bright light emitted from between her and Inuyasha and Inuyasha's screams stopped. Next thing she knew, she was in a dream like sequence.

Dream Sequence

Kagome opened her eyes with a groan and blinked a couple of times. Last thing she remembered, was being on top of Naraku's roof in front of Inuyasha. Where was Inuyasha? She took in her surroundings and noticed a blinding sunlight.

She seemed to be in a field of fruit and flowers. Tulips and pomegranates especially. The fruit and flowers of death.

She stood up on weak knees, and looked around. There was no one else there but her. Kagome automatically noticed she was wearing a completely white kimono-like robe. It had been so long since she had worn a color this bright.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" She asked the air, practically.

"I am. I've been waiting." She heard an oh-so-familiar voice say. Kagome quickly whipped around to see Inuyasha standing behind her in a fire-rat kimono. How she knew the exact name of it, she'll never know.

"Inuyasha, you're alright?" She asked her koi, as she took a couple of small steps towards him.

Inuyasha chuckled and flung back a strand of his silver hair. "Not for long. You have to save me."

Kagome's feeling of relief vanished as she frowned. "Save you? From what?"

"Myself."

"What can I do?"

"You have to become a part of me. Be willing to."

"How do I do this!?" She yelled, reaching out a hand and running towards him.

Inuyasha only smiled sadly and turned around to walk away from him.

"No, wait, please!" Kagome yelled, with tears flowing freely down her face as she ran after him, but he just seemed to get farther and farther away.

Kagome plopped down on her knees and watched him leave. "Please! Don't go!" She shouted.

FLASH

Kagome opened her eyes and was back on the 'battlefield', but something was amiss besides the ten foot tall spider demon only feet away from her. Inuyasha's fang's were engorged in her neck. Instead of panicking like the average person would've, she leaned into it more. Though, she started to feel drained. My very own soul is going to him... half my soul is going give him a whole one. She thought, as she fought to keep her eyelids from drooping.

Inuyasha's eyes were almost completely amber again, with tinges of red in the corners. He realized from the dream sequence that Kagome was letting part of her soul go into his body. So he could have a whole soul. Was Kagome's soul really so big that she could live without half of it?

Inuyasha spotted something black and somewhat rusted behind Naraku. Tetsusaiga... He thought, as he had been told of the sword forged to protect. Had Kagome brang it with her? When he finally felt ready, he took his fangs off of Kagome's neck, and caught her when she fell into his arm's, almost unconscious.

Kagome smiled a tired smile. "Kick his ass for me, eh? I'll jump in later." She said, quietly.

Inuyasha smirked as he kissed her on the forehead and nodded. "Will do." He said, laying her down softly, and walking in front of Naraku.

Naraku scowled. "Your bitch practically gave her life for you, what a sweet load of bull!" He yelled, sending about 20 tentacles at Inuyasha at once.

Inuyasha growled. "Do you ever fight head on, dammit?!" He yelled, swatting at the tentacles.

"Inuyasha!" He heard from behind him, and a glowing green sword whizzed past his head and cut off every last one of the tentacles Naraku had sent out. Inuyasha looked back to see Kagome with her arm still in a throwing position.

" Midoriko's Sword!" She yelled, standing up on shaky legs, and watching him. "Hurry and get you're sword." She yelled.

Inuyasha stared in slight awe before nodding. He turned back to Naraku who no longer had an evil smirk on his face. But an angry scowl. "Die!" He screamed, rushing forwards towards Inuyasha.

Inuyasha flipped over Naraku and dived for the Tetsusaiga. Grabbing the black sheath, he pulled out the rusty sword and frowned. "What the hell, Kagome?! This sword couldn't cut paper! Wet!"

"That's what I said! Just use it! You'll see it's power! Whatever that is..." Kagome mumbled to herself as she said her last sentence.

Inuyasha sighed as Naraku started chuckling at what Inuyasha now 'wielded'.

"Ah, shut up!" Inuyasha yelled, only managing to tap Naraku with the Tetsusaiga.

Naraku chuckled even louder. "You're not even worth my time. It's that delectable wench, as I know from experience, that I want!" He yelled, rushing forwards towards Kagome.

Kagome gasped and fumbled to string her bow. Inuyasha growled and rushed forward. "Don't you dare!" He bellowed, as he swung the small sword and actually did some damage. One hell of a lot of damage.

Inuyasha and Kagome both gasped when Naraku bled from a missing spider leg, and Inuyasha held a full fang in his hand. "That's right, this sword is forged to protect." He mumbled, as he walked closer to Naraku. He would've gotten closer had it not been for Kagome putting a hand on his shoulder.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

Kagome gave him a small reassuring smile, not to mention a weak one. "Before you finish him off with that, remember that this is my fight too. So, I'll also take part in his death."

Inuyasha wanted to object, to keep her safe, but knew he couldn't with this one. "Fine." He mumbled as both he and Kagome closed in on Naraku who was nervously backing closer and closer to the ledge of the roof.

"Hey, hey, how about a nice apology and tea and crumpets?" He asked, chuckling nervously.

Kagome chuckled as she also put one hand on Tetsusaiga, which shocked the hell out of Inuyasha, and he gave her a quizzical look. "Together, we fight. Remember?" She said.

Inuyasha nodded and smirked, as a wind surrounded the Tetsusaiga. And Kagome's hand started to glow a bright blue.

"This isn't fair!" Naraku whined.

"Neither was her innocence being stolen!" Inuyasha growled out as the sword radiated with his and Kagome's power.

Before they even knew what they were doing, the sword sent a bright yellow and blue blast and they found themselves yelling: "Rekai Kaze no Kizu!"

Naraku let a loud howl, before reverting to the more human him, and falling off of the ledge for the cold hard ground to meet him.

Inuyasha smirked in satisfaction, then raised a brow when Kagome spoke from right next him.

"Inuyasha, don't let me hit the ground." She said, as she closed her eyes and her knees finally gave way. Inuyasha caught before she was hardly close to the ground. He found himself staring at her closed eye-lids. She was snoozing. Or rather, she had passed out.

Inuyasha sighed, as he sat on the ledge and watched the sun come up lazily over the horizon, and held Kagome close to him, as if she were an important package. Her nightmares are finally over. She'll be alright. She can have a normal life now. He thought, stroking his raven haired beauty's hair.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said, weakly.

"Hm?" He answered somewhat lazily, but surprised at the same time.

" How long before the cops show up?"

I think this might've been the latest and worst installment of this story. But, hey, next chapter, I'm done with this story I had an awesome time writing! Incredibly sorry for the late update, and What Was Once Yours will be updated next. Also, it's rating will be changed to M. Oh yeah. Keep a lookout for the last and final chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: Epilogue: Help Has Come.

Question Of The Day: Who thinks demon Inuyasha is hotter than ningen (human) Inuyasha? That was random...
