This "……" means talking

This '……' means thinking or Inuyasha as half-demon(italic)

This '……' is Inuyasha's demon

And This '……' is Inuyasha's human side. (not italic)

To help I added D = demon, HD = half-demon and H = human.

Sorry its confusing.

Chapter 14

Kagome was almost halfway up the well when she sensed the demonic ora handing above her. 'Maybe I should have waited for Inuyasha, this demonic energy is stronger, actually it's almost like…. Naraku' she thought struggling to hold onto the side of the well. Kagome started to climb back down to wait for Inuyasha when a large tentacle flew down at her wrapping its self around her waist pulling her off the wall and out of the well. "Naraku…" she yelled confirming her worries "let go of me I…".

"Silence wench, I have no interest in what you have to say" he hissed coldly as he wrapped another tentacle over her mouth kagome bit down on it and realised that might have not been such a good idea as miasma shot into her mouth. Coughing it out kagome used her priestesses power to purify what had seeped into her blood, 'Wow, I guess all that training with Midoriko is actually paying off' she thought as she glared at Naraku 'I wounder if I can…'.

Naraku's hand came flying up grabbing her by the throat as she struggled to brake free "How dear you, I could kill you right were you are without any effort or thought and you would be powerless to stop me." he said tightening his grip on her neck.

"NARAKU" growled Inuyasha from the air as he landed next to the well, 'were the fuck did he come from, he wasn't in the a few seconds ago and there was no way he ran here or I would her smelt him.' Naraku thought confused tho he didn't show it 'come to think of it what was she doing in there in the first place, were does that well go.'. "Once again, Inuyasha, you have arrived too late" he said forgetting his line of thought as Inuyasha pulled his sawed from its sheath holding the newly transformed tetsiger in front of him "Let her go Naraku or I'll ki…."

"Ah, Ah, Ah" he said as he held kagome in front of him "You wouldn't want to hurt this precious face would you." he said laughing as kagome went to bit the hand as he tried to touch her face.

"get your discussing hands of her." he growled stepping closer.

"Not another step" he yelled coldly once again "or I'll rip her apart".

Inuyasha growled deeply but remained were he was not wanting to endanger kagome any further.

"Well I've had enough fun for today I think I'll bee going" he said as he lifted of.

"WHAT" Inuyasha yelled confused as kagome struggled more looking back at Inuyasha terrified.

'well its now or never.' she thought as she consecrated on Naraku's tentacle that was conveniently touching her which was all she needed, 'burn' the thought as a light purple light shot throw his tentacle up to his chest stopping him as he eyed her pain obvious in them ,tho with her eyes close she couldn't see if it was taking any affect, but after only seconds she became weak and unable to continue the spell as she felt her power drain from her she stopped the spell opening her eyes to a rather angry Naraku.

"you, that was you wasn't it, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT." he yelled razing a tentacle to her chest ready to strike.

"I don't think so" yelled a voice from behind Naraku "Hirrikuts" she yelled as the giant boomeranged flew throw the air slicing the tentacles holding kagome. Kagome yelled while she fell to the ground followed by a small scream as she hit the dirt, hard, still wrapped in Naraku's tentacles. kagome tried to push them off while Sango, Miroku and Kilala landed next to Inuyasha.

"More interruptions" Naraku sneered looking to the now formed group in there fighting stances, mines one kagome. "Wench" he yelled turning to kagome who was still struggling with his tentacles "Do not waist my time, come here." he said as the tentacles tightened there hold on her wrapping around her wrists and waist as they tried to pull her towards him.

"Ah, Get OFF ME" kagome yelled kicking one as it tried bind her legs.

"Miroku," Inuyasha said turning to the monk, "I need to get her out of there she's…"

"You go Inuyasha we'll distract him." Miroku said looking from Inuyasha to Sango who, strongly, nodded to him in agreement. "Kilala." she yelled as the feline jumped to her master and friend, "We need to get above him." she said mounting the fire cat along with Miroku.

With Naraku firmly distracted Inuyasha made his way to kagome as she squirmed, almost completely tied up, on the forest floor. "Kagome stay still" Inuyasha said holding his sawed up as a tentacle rolled over her mouth again. Inuyasha sliced through the bonds, or tentacles, as Kagome gasped for air when he pulled the tentacle from her mouth. Inuyasha quickly looked her over for injures as he picked her up but she winced when he touched her, "Kagome are you…"

"I'm fine, help Sango and Miroku." she said obviously holding back something.

Inuyasha placed her, gently, down behind him protectively as he razed his sawed. "Naraku" he yelled only to give the others time to move.

Naraku narrowed his eyes at him as he watched him raze his demonic weapon "Why you….".

"WIND SCAR" Inuyasha yelled as three lines of light ripped throw Naraku pulling him to pieces leaving behind a small little wooden totem split through the middle.

"Another puppet…" Sango said surprised, "I really thought it was him this time".

"Yer me to." Miroku answered but when they looked to Inuyasha he was already talking to kagome.

"Were are you hurt kagome." he asked looking at the way she was keeping her arm slightly of her body over her chest.

"I'm not hu…."

"Tell me… it's your arm isn't it." he said reaching for it.

"Really I'm not… AH" she yelled as Inuyasha touched her arm, softly.

"Not hurt hah." he said looking to her as she looked away.

"I…I hit it when I fell, but it's nothing really"

"really" Inuyasha said suspiciously as he examined her arm while she wasn't looking 'it doesn't look that bad, she must of jarred it.' he thought tho it didn't stop his worrying.

"I'm sorry kagome" Sango said walking towards her, over hearing their conversation, "I should have warned you."

"No Sango, its not your fault, I'm very grateful you didn't warn me or he might of moved to avoided you attack and if it weren't for you I'd be, who-knows-were, in Naraku's clutches you save me" she said truthfully.

"But kagome your arm…"

"It's nothing really, I'll be fine." she said getting up "It's my fault for not being careful enough, I'm very sorry I cased you all so much trouble" she said sadly looking to the ground.

"Huh, Kagome you didn't…"

"That's it!" Inuyasha growled (but not dangerously just a little angrily), "That arm isn't broken is it."

"Well…. I…" kagome stuttered stunned by the sudden outburst.

"Well"

"Um…. No I can move it, it's its just sore, probably jarred it." she answered tho she held it carefully.

"Good" he said picking her up, bridal style, with her injured arm outwards as he jumped away into the woods.

Sango sighed as she slide over Kilala's back readying to fly home, or to Kaede's hut. "What's wrong Sango, you know you didn't mean to hurt lady kagome even she said you saved her life"

"It's not that, tho I still feel it's partly my fault" she said sighing once again.

"Then what it is that has go you so down"

"It's just… well, I never get to spend any time with kagome anymore, it seams every time she gets back lately Inuyasha is always whisking her off and when I finally do get to see her she's in trouble or hurt."

Miroku thought of what she was saying and began to get his own suspicions 'I wonder what he's taking her way for so much… they must be….'

"Don't even go there monk" Sango said as Miroku sighed until a rather large smile spread across his face.

"Well my dear Sango at lest you will get to spend more time with me." he said as his smile turned to a rather lectures' grin as she blushed a slight rose pink before Kilala took of back to the village

Inuyasha ran in and out of clearings, turning so much kagome had no idea were she was until the sacred tree came into view 'he was buying time for the other's to leave' she thought as he jumped up into the tree until he landed softly on a thick branch. Kagome didn't know what to say when she realised she was actually sitting on Inuyasha lap.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha started as kagome continued to look in the other direction.

"What's all this about Inuyasha" kagome asked normally tho she felt rather modest as a small red line formed on her checks.

"It's about you always putting yourself down" he grumbled.

"I'm not putting myself down… I'm just satiating the truth"

"No you not" Inuyasha said strongyle "Your not week kagome…"

"Yes I am" she said sadly as she turned to face him "I'm always getting hurt or kidnapped or poisoned or even just sick and you have to come save me and it always get's someone hurt…. I'm getting them hurt Inuyasha" she said quieter.

"Kagome it's not your…"

"Yes it is, I'm week I cant even protect myself from illnesses. When Naraku grabbed me I thought I might-of been able to do something but when I tried to purify him nothing happened and I caused you and the others trouble." she said disappointed in herself.

"Kagome did you ever think you couldn't hurt him because it was never the real Naraku, the reason you couldn't purify him was because there was nothing there to purify, it was just a puppet"

Kagome stopped as she thought it throw "I never really thought that…"

"And you don't cause us trouble. You would do the exact same for any of us if we were ever in danger,"

"But I wouldn't be of any help, I'd just get in the way or get killed"

"DON'T say that" he said startling kagome.

"Why it's true if I don't get killed I'd only be getting in the way or held hostage."

"DON'T KAGOME" Inuyasha said becoming angrier.

"Truthfully Inuyasha why did you come and get me then….hmm…. Because I was in the way, you couldn't us your wind scar because it would have got me to and because I couldn't even get out of an ALREADY SEVERED tentacle you had to rescue me"

"Kagome I saved you because…."

"And then to top it off I got hurt because I cant land on my feet and Sango apologises for saving… I'm useless I make my friends miserable, I just ca…." kagome was silenced as Inuyasha's lips pressed onto hers as his hand held he check and the other her back. Kagome tensed before she relaxed as she let all her emotions was over her, she couldn't even remember what she was saying, her mind was on one thing… Inuyasha.

When Inuyasha pulled away she felt as if she would die from the separation "Inuyasha…."

"Kagome the reason I saved you was because I don't want you to get hurt or injured or kidnapped and definitely not killed." he said softly looking into her eyes.

"Yer but…"

"No buts," he said with his normal tone, "I don't ever want to heir that again, got it." he said forcefully as kagome nodded softly

"Ok".

"And stop saying your week, you have more powers than anyone I've ever seen,"

"I don't think…."

"You do kagome, you have the biggest heart in the world and more courage then I see in most people," he said lifting her head to look into her eyes "you just have to believe in yourself more. I mean look at me you save me every day." he said as kagome looked at him confuse.

"How?"

"Your with me aren't you, your showing me that sometime, some people aren't that bad" he said jokingly as he watch kagome smile finally ',maybe I should tell her, I mean I am pretty much cheating an all'.

'If you want to get sat from this height be my guest, but it would rather arrogant of you to make her fell better before you rip out her heart' the demon growled in his head. Rude

'You have no idea what she'll do you…. Hey wait, why would she do that, I guess you cant hear everything I think'

'What's that mean'

"Kagome I need to tell you something, it's important." he said seriously witch actually scared kagome.

'It's about the kiss, he's going to say he didn't want to, or maybe he was thinking of Kikyo… no that's not it we were in the middle of an argument, what if he….'

"Kagome are you listening, I wanted to…." Inuyasha stopped mid sentence as the wind blew into his noise "Dam it" he said looking around on the forest floor.

"What is it Inuyasha" kagome asked as he picked her up of his lap and placed her back on the branch next to him.

"Say here, I'll be right back" he said jumping to a lower branch.

"Inuyasha" kagome said angrily and suddenly scared, "You are not leaving me in this tree alone"

Inuyasha could have smiled at how comfortable she was with him but remembered what was awaiting them on the ground. "Fine" he said jumping back up "But stay behind me"

"Ok" she said jumping on his back as he jumped down branch by branch.

Inuyasha landed on the grounds and set kagome down as they stood alert in the clearing with the sacred tree to the backs. "Kagome if there's any trouble I want you to run and tack cover.

"What, that wasn't part of th…"

"I'm serious kagome."

"So am I," she said moving in front of him so she could yell at his face "how do you expect me to believe in myself if you telling me to run and hide."

"I'm not going…." he said before he grabbed her arm pulling her behind him as a shadowy figure exited the trees as the small thing jumped about.

Kagome squinted her eyes as she made out the small girl with black hair "Rin" she said confused but happy as well.

"Kagome, is that you" the dark headed girl said as she stopped to look for the person calling her name.

"RIN" yelled a voice from behind her, tho she didn't seem to hear or care, "Lord Sessomharou has told you not to run ahead, you getting me into trouble agai…." Jacken yelled as he ran from the forest, staff in hands, stopping to see the other two only just before he reached Rin's side, "Lord… Sesshomaru's brother, what are you doing here." he asked snidely.

Inuyasha didn't answer the small imp as he watcher Sesshomaru smoothly enter the small clearing, conveniently standing in front of Rin, oh and Jacken.

"Jacken" Sesshomaru said coldly, in his normal mild tone as ever.

Not even needing more information Jacken nodded to his lord as she turned to Rin who was now smiling at kagome, "come now Rin" he said as he picked her up running back to the shaded forest.

"But master Jacken" She wined as she looked behind her to kagome, while Jacken dragged her arm, softly.

"Now Rin, Lord Sesshomaru has no patients for petty chit chat."

"Ah, Good by Kagome"

"Take care Rin" kagome yelled back over Inuyasha's shoulder as the pair disappeared.

"What is it that you want little brother, have you finely decided who the tetsugers real master is" he said eyeing the sword on his waist.

"Not even in you dreams" he said angrily as he placed his hand on it's hilt.

"Then what is it you and your wench have sought me out." he said not once glancing at kagome even tho he was, almost, insulting her.

"WHAT, you're the one trespassing." Inuyasha said as Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes slightly to his younger brother.

"This is your ground?" he asked intrigued in the answer.

"Yes, this is the forest of Inuyasha after all, you'd think you would realise that." he said annoyed.

"We live in a village not to far from here, on the border of the forest." kagome said truthfully.

"Kagome." Inuyasha growled over his shoulder.

"I see"

"You know what this means don't you, your bracking the packed,"

"Izayoi is dead, why should I honour a dead humans packed" he said emphasising on 'dead human'.

Inuyasha growled deeply which even scared kagome, "You well keep to it, it was a blood packed, or did you forget" he said calming slightly.

"If I kill you there would be no packed." he said sending a poisoned claw there way. Inuyasha sun around grabbing kagome and as he jumped another flow thro there air narrowly missing them both as it sliced through the branch the were sitting on.

'Were is he aiming, that would never of got me.' Inuyasha thought as he landed letting Kagome down.

"See, aren't you happy you didn't leave me up there" she said smartly.

"Get out of here Kagome." he said as he ran at Sesshomaru.

"But I…."

"NOW KAGOME." he yelled back as his and sesshomarus sword's clashed.

Kagome gave in and ran back behind a tree, 'this is ridiculous, what's going on, what packed.' she thought as she watched the two brothers duel.

Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha separated to take breathes tho only one looked out of breath. "You going to honour the packed" Inuyasha asked still breathing deeply.

"You giving up little brother."

"I could go all day." he said smirking.

"Are you curtin," he said sarcastically as he slightly razed his eyebrow at him.

"lets go if your not sure." he said before they were at it again.

Kagome couldn't understand what was happening or why it was that nether brother seamed to bee all-in-it as every blow Inuyasha tried to land wasn't fatal and Sesshomaru passed up a number of chances to strike Inuyasha. 'they don't want to fight each other' she thought standing up.

Kagome stopped just next to the tree she was hiding behind when Inuyasha's sword was knocked form his hands, felling behind him. Inuyasha yelled as Sesshomaru's sword entered his side, stumbling back Inuyasha tried to grab his weapon before he fell to the floor.

"INUYASHA" kagome screamed as she ran out back into the clearing.

"KAGOME, GET BACK" Inuyasha yelled still trying to moving back to his sword

"It seams this is the end for you, little brother." Sesshomaru said as he held up his sword.

"STOP" kagome yelled as she ran to Sesshomaru holding her hands out in front of him as if it would stop him.

"Move priestess or you will die as well." he said but it was different, his voice was… softer.

"Kagome…. Get back…."

"No, I wont, please, you've won, I beg you, leave him be."

"Move or die" he repeated, "There is no way to stop this, he must die."

"NO" she yelled strongly.

"So be it" he said moving his sword down on her but before it hit her a strong burst of power hit him pushing him back. Sesshomaru stood amazed as power pumped out of the girl that stood before him, purple waves of spiritual energy flowed to Inuyasha slowly healing his wound as it held Sesshomaru back until kagome calmed down locking her powers back in, what little she had left.

'I can not go up against purification powers, I touch and she could kill me' Sesshomaru said as he studied her standing strongly in-between them before he sheathed his sword "You have much power, priestess, that seams to be tied to you emotions, I would not like to be around when they go off," he said looking to Inuyasha as he stood.

"Sesshomaru I don't hold you to your packed this one time for you nether new nor wished to enter my land." Inuyasha said as he watched kagome carefully "But I warn you next ti….

"LORD SESSHOMARU, Lord Sesshomaru" a voice called as it ran throw the forest stopping at Sesshumaorus feet kneeling as he looked up at him.

"Jacken" he growled looking down at him.

"Please me lord, but its Rin, she's in trouble, I tried to help her but the old hag was to powerful." he said as he bowd to his leg. And without a word Sesshomaru was gone, slowly followed by a rather frightened Jacken.

"Rin, whats wrong with, ah…" kagome said as her legs gave out and Inuyasha had to run to catch her, which Sesshomaru caught from the corner of his eye

"Kagome, kagome are you alright."
