Summary: At the beginning she was the only one who can see him. He was her temperamental, stubborn and overprotective ghost half dog demon. Not to mention possessive as well. He has fifty days left. What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said.

"Mom, I've been worried about Kagome," Souta said, he was sitting at the table with his grandfather.
His grandfather nodded as well,"She has been acting rather strange lately. Do you think she caught a disease. If she has we-"
"Dad," Mrs. Higurashi laughed, a smile spread across her face," Kagome isn't sick. She has been working hard for her class. Sango told me that the exams have been getting harder. So when she comes home, don't question her, even if she is acting strange."
"My granddaughter will become someone great in the world. As long as she doesn't fall back," Grandpa Higurashi said.
"Sis is weird, sometimes I see her talking but no one is there," Souta said.
Mrs. Higurashi and gramps exchanged looks. "What do you mean my boy?"
"Well when I walk past Kagome's room, she's always talking to someone, but when I walk in. She's sitting on her desk and there's no one there," Souta said.
His grandfather got up from his chair and smiled,"Then we have a ghost on our hands my boy. Think about it."
"A-A g-ghost?" Souta stuttered.
"Dear, don't mind your grandfather. There isn't really a ghost," his mother said.
"B-But what if grandpa really is telling the truth?" Souta asked.
His grandfather turned to him,"What do you mean if I really was telling you the truth? I am a priest and I can detect a demonic aura," he said proudly.
"Dad, can you sense any here with us?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"No, well. That is beyond the point. I will teach Souta how to detect demonic aura's. Like I taught Kagome when she was younger," grandpa Higurashi tapped his chin,"Although that girl never really listened. When she comes home tell me." He walked to his room to take his daily nap. Mrs. Higurashi smiled.
"What exactly did grandpa teach Kagome. If he told her stories, I don't think I will be able to listen," Souta said. Kagome's hiding something. He thought.

Inuyasha left the home where he was at. None of it made any sense. Why couldn't he remember who his family was. He just remembered his name. "Damn," he cursed as he waited for the others to arrive.
He was waiting at the park. When he noticed a tree near by. Inuyasha eyed it and he heard voice. Telling him to wake up and be strong. He took hold of his head by his hands. Trying to block them out.
"I'm telling you Miroku, if you so as touch me one more time I am going to...Inuyasha, are you okay?" Sango said.
She and Miroku just arrived, the monk had a red hand print. It didn't take a stupid person to know what he did.
"I'm alright. Have you guys seen Kagome?" he asked. They both shook their heads.
"It's been an hour, how long is this damn detention thing?" Inuyasha asked, he hated that he left her alone. By herself and unprotected.
"Maybe she is coming," Miroku said.
"The school is only a ten minute walk dumb ass," Inuyasha said.
The monk sighed,"I was just saying."
"Then say something smart," the ghost half demon retorted.
Sango looked around,"Wow, this tree is so big. It's like the one in Kagome's home." Inuyasha looked at the tree, it felt familiar, just like the address.
"Is something troubling you Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned him.
Inuyasha shook his head,"No. It's just that this place is familiar."
"Well there is no shocker there. You passed on here," Miroku told him.
Sango elbowed him in the stomach. "Oh the pain," the monk whined.
"How do you guys know that?" Inuyasha asked them, raising a brow. Did they know something that he didn't.
"Well it was that, if you think this place is familiar then it's obviously where you did," Sango said, looking at him. Inuyasha nodded,"You might be right. You guys aren't hiding anything are you?"
"Inuyasha does this innocent look say that we are hiding anything?" Miroku said, with an innocent expression. Even a fake halo above his head.
"No that look says that your are a pervert and an idiot," Inuyasha commented.
"How harsh," Miroku said.
"You know I'm going to the damn school," Inuyasha told them.
Sango nodded,"We are going with you." "We are?" "Of course, what did you think we were going to do?" "I was hoping for some time to be alone with you," Miroku told her. He received a slap. "Keep dreaming." "That I will my dear Sango."
They walked to the school, but a certain ghost was getting impatient for not getting there fast.
"Relax Inuyasha we are already he-" Miroku said when he saw the school ablaze.
"K-Kagome," Sango said holding on to Miroku's shoulder for support.
"Shit! Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted, materalizing from the others and to the school. He floated his way through the fiery flames, even though it wouldn't hurt him, but the smoke made it hard to see.
He came upon the room where she had her detention class,"Kagome!" he shouted desperately. She can't be. Damn it. "Where the hell are you wench? Answer me right now!" he shouted.
Not even a cough or answer. "Kagome," he whispered.
Minutes after the school crumbled to the ground. On the school grounds, Miroku was holding Sango who was crying for her friend. The moment he saw Inuyasha, by the look on his face it said it all.
She didn't make it.
