His hands twisted around the hilt of his sword as a rumble vibrated down in his throat. Inuyasha tried to take a breath but found the air around him too thin. Blood rushed to his head and the pressure started to pound.

His thoughts had stopped and for a few minutes all he was aware of was the pounding of his heart. Kagome's scent disappeared down the well and was replaced by the mossy foliage. Suddenly, his legs burned and he sprung forward, never hitting the bottom of the well. The blue vortex caught him and then he landed on the other side again.

Inuyasha rushed another breath trying to clear his head. But his youkai instincts only burned with more of a fury and his thoughts never returned to him. Jumping up, he dashed out of the well house. The scents assaulted his nose and his ears twitched when he heard Kagome move inside. His eyes dropped to stare at the open door on the bottom floor. He sniffed the air again and found other scents. His heart churned. His children. He ran after the scent, yanking the window open until it shattered in the frame. The noise only seemed to fuel his building rage and he reached out a clawed hand to pick up a rumbled ball of cloth.

Pulling it forward, he pressed it to his nose and breathed it. The unfamiliar scent reached him and he tried to embed it in his memory. Dropping it, he searched for the others. His hands started to shake when he scrambled for them.

The door slid open to reveal Kagome standing in the doorway. For the first time, Inuyasha's eyes shot up and froze on her. The swirl of emotions rushed out into thoughts. His Kagome had lost his kids. He heart hurt and his thoughts kept spinning with the unfamiliar sensations.

Kagome hesitated when in the door frame. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped. Eyes trailing over the ground, she took in the scene. Inuyasha was looking up the kids clothing, probably trying to fine the scent. Kagome breathed in the air, her heart starting to rush again.

Inuyasha's golden eyes were tinting red and the hilt of his sword at his side gave off a heavy blue aura. Kagome's eyes fell over it and she blinked.

Her breath left her. Inuyasha's demon blood was churning. Kagome bit her lip, her mind trying to rush over her options. She wasn't sure how the well the Tetsuiga could manage on it.

"Inuyasha." She tried to reach out for him, but he drew away in return. "Come with me to go get them. Please, you won't blend in here."

Kagome's hand stayed in the air and she paused. Inuyasha's eyes flickered with recognition, but he didn't move. His heart still pounded and the heaviness in his chest grew worse.

He unclenched his fists to drop the fabric from his hands.

"How could you keep this from me Kagome?" He finally whispered. Standing up, his muscles stretched a bit.

Kagome let out a breath when his eyes went golder and his brow furrowed.

"How could you let me find out this way?" With every word, his mind grew clearer and the tightness in his chest began to replace itself with bitter frustration.

"I told you I'm sorry Inuyasha. I can't go back on it now. But come on… " She tried to beckon him through the door.

Inuyasha's mouth thinned and he flexed his knuckles.

Kagome watched him pleadingly. Inuyasha's mind ran over his options and he shook his head. Drawing his arms together he straightened his back. Sucking in a breath, he announced, "We're going to do this my way now Kagome."

Kagome's mouth fell open an inch and she pinched her brow but Inuyasha moved to her before he could. He marched up in front of her and twisted around. Kagome blinked at first before understanding. Reaching out carefully, she climbed onto his back.

Inuyasha waited till she was secure and ran back toward the window. He stopped on the tiles of the second story roof and breathed in the air. Before the girl behind him could speak, he ran toward the scent.

Bounding, he kept running, twisting around the sidewalks.

Kagome tightened her grip, heart throbbing as her fingers twisted into his robe. Her mind didn't put together exactly what to do but Inuyasha's closeness let her keep her mouth shut. Skidding to a stop, Inuyasha slid to the door of a painted set of sliding doors. She blinked, suddenly recognizing the chibi dinosaurs and flowers that decorated the entrance.

Tapping her knuckles on his back, she signaled for him to ease her down. The dog demon stiffened when he looked it over. The sudden realization his children rested just behind it made his stomach turn.

Kagome inched off of him and touched the ground. She stepped carefully around him, tugging the bottom of her shirt absently to organize herself.

"Okay uh…" She turned to look at him. "Could you stay here? We didn't cover your ears up and I'll uh bring them right out…."

She tried to decipher his expression which had almost blanked out. Inuyasha blinked as if she'd startled him out of his thoughts.

"Yea…" He barely could whisper. Kagome waited a second and twisted around to go inside when Inuyasha called out for her again. "Kagome, wait."

Inuyasha opened his mouth and suddenly found his words lost on him. A million questions struck him and his stomach still turned. A minute passed and he jerked his head to the side. "Never mind."

Nodding, Kagome forced herself through the doors to find her children and bring them to see their father.

A/N: I hate this chapter. I don't know why. I just wanted to proof it and ended tearing it up to something I deemed"useable". Butttt I hope it didn't make it worse. Anyways, drop me a line and all that
