Kagome glared at Inuyasha. She noticed his blood red eyes; this was not the half-demon she had traveled with. He had lost it, and if Shippo's information was anything to go off of, he'd been like this for a long time.

Inuyasha didn't say anything else just lunged at her and the unconscious Kurama with his blades of blood attack. Kagome brought up a barrier that kept him out. Inuyasha in his state of mind though wasn't detoured as he continued to attempt to claw at the barrier. He would occasionally pause and pace before trying again. It was then Kagome realized just how far Inuyasha had fallen. She mourned for her old friend as she held the barrier.

Further away the other three had felt Kagome's energy rise and started their way back to her and Kurama. Hiei was slightly concerned when he felt Kagome's energy and not Kurama's. He knew the fox was falling for the girl; Kagome wouldn't be using energy at all if Kurama could prevent it. Yusuke and Kuwabara were thinking along the same line. Worried about their friends they speed up.

Kagome held the barrier until he finally stopped. Even though she was still physically inside the jewel she felt drained. She knew she was going to reach her limit soon.

"Inuyasha," she slowly called out to him. She had brought him back out of these states before but never when he was this far gone. She hoped that it wasn't too late to help him. She side stepped away from Kurama a bit. Inuyasha's focus was on her and she wanted to keep it that way.

"Kagome" he growled his movements still aggressive.

"Yes it's me." She told him.

"No, Kagome's gone!" he yelled at her before charging again. With Kurama out of the way Kagome didn't bother to bring up her barrier. Inuyasha charged right through her. Before turning crouching on the ground ready to charge again.

"That's right, I was gone." She told him not wanting to upset him "but I'm trying to come back. I need tessaiga."

Inuyasha had forgotten about his sword. He looked down at it drawing it. When it didn't change for him he tossed it aside. "You lie. Kagome's gone!"

Kagome sighed even in his feral state he was stubborn. "I'm still in the jewel. I want to come back." She told him.

Again Inuyasha perked up "Give me the Jewel! Give me Kagome!" he yelled. Kagome's eyes widened that might have been the wrong thing to say. She backed up to Kurama again. Sadly Inuyasha noticed her movements. He again charged Kurama, Kagome got their first and once again protected them both with a barrier.

That was how the Yusuke, Hiei and Kuwabara found them. Hiei wasted no time in engaging Inuyasha in a fight. Yusuke backing him up making it a two on one. Kuwabara ran over to Kagome who dropped her barrier. She fell to her knees with the barriers and having to keep up her projection she was really tired. "I'll be fine." She told Kuwabara motioning for him to check on Kurama.

"He's losing a lot of blood. We need to close this wound." Kuwabara told her. Nodding Kagome moved over and started healing the wound. "I'll take care of it go help the others." Kuwabara nodded and did as she requested. It was deeper then she first thought.

Kurama felt warm as he started to wake up. First thing he noticed was Kagome's worried face. The second was that it was fading. "Kagome!" he said in alarm fully waking up.

"Stay still." She told him wanting to make sure she finished. He tried to move her hands away to make her stop but he couldn't.

"Kagome stop! You won't have enough energy left to hold your projection!" He told her "I'm fine now I promise just stop."

Kagome shook her head no and continued. "I'm almost done." She told him. He continued to protest and her form was almost completely gone. He looked up at her face and noticed her tears.

Kagome knew, she could feel her mind being pulled back into the jewel. While she was terrified of the jewel she was even more scared about Kurama being hurt. She would push her fears aside to help him.

"I'll be waiting for you Kurama." She told him with a teary smile as she finished. "Don't make me wait too long ok." Then she was gone.
