Special thanks to my new editor star555555528….. I LOVE YOU!!!! THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Recap: "In-Inuyasha?..” She said as her eyes came into focus. “ Inuyasha!! please don't leave me," she pleaded as she started to cry again while she clung to him.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his arms tighter. "shhh, Kagome. it's alright, I'm here now. I won't leave you." He said comfortingly while Kagome cried into his shoulder.

"You promise?" she asked in a childlike voice.

"I Promise" he replied while still holding her in his arm's. Finally after a few minutes, she feel asleep, and he lied her back down and pulled the cover over her while he still wondered what had her so upset. ' Why would I ever leave her?' he contemplated as he pulled her closer to him and feel asleep, still having an awkward feeling that something wasn't quiet right.

 

 

Secrets revealed and the jewels reappearance!!!

 

As soon as the sunset, everyone had woken up and was back on their journey again.

They were walking in silence to occupied by their thoughts. That had been happening a lot lately, they were thinking way to much. What was going to happen to them now?

What was going on with Kagome? What did Naraku have planed for them next? What would they do when they got to the western lands? Needless to say they were overly stressed.

`what happened in that room, Damnit!!” Inuyasha thought. Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't asked Kagome and Sango about the note they found yet.

 

“Sango, Kagome, By the way. Where did you get that paper earlier?” He asked.

 

Sango gasped as she quickly looked over at Kagome who was starting to shake slightly.

They hadn't thought of what to say if they had asked that.

 

“They found it in the hallway, Naraku must have dropped it there” Shippou intervened after they hadn't said something for a while.

 

Everyone looked him. “How do you know?” Inuyasha asked suspiciously.

 

“They told me” Shippou said matter of factually.

 

They guys looked at each other, they didn't buy it. Shippou had to know something also. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome worriedly, fear was radiating off her. He walked over to her to ask her if she was ok when he noticed the bruise her cheek.

He gasped causing everyone to look at him.

 

“Kagome!!! Where did you get that?!” He asked worriedly as lifted her chin to inspect it. Kagome looked away from him guiltily.

 

“She fell.” Sango replied for her.

The guys stared at Kagome worriedly, but they didn't buy that either. Sango defiantly knew something, they were sure of it now.

 

“Ok, That's it!! What's going on here!!?” Inuyasha yelled losing his patience again. Kagome flinched back making Inuyasha get angrier. Something was going on here that her, Shippou and Sango didn't want them to know about and he was going to find out what that was NOW.

 

He took Kagome's chin in his and pulled her to look into his eyes. “Kagome, what's wrong. You can tell me, don't you trust me?” He asked pitifully.

 

Kagome gasped. “Oh course I do!!!”

 

“Then why won't you tell me what's wrong?” He whined.

Kagome started to shake as tears started down her face.

 

She looked up at him. “I just can't, I'm sorry” she cried before she dashed away from him and further into the woods.

 

“KAGOME!!” He called as he started after her but Sango held him back.

 

“Let me take care of this Inuyasha” She said before she ran after Kagome.

 

After she disappeared, He turned around with a growl and punched a tree making it fall to the ground with a loud crash. “DAMNIT!!!” He yelled.

 

Miroku put a hand on his shoulder. “Calm you're self Inuyasha”

 

“Calm myself? CALM MY SELF!!!? Miroku, something seriously wrong is going on with my girl friend and I have no Idea what it is, let alone how to help it!!!” He growled.

 

“Umm….” Shippou started saying but decided other wise. It was to late everyone was looking at him.

Inuyasha then grabbed him by his tail, lifted him to his face and gave him a death glare.

“Shippou, I know you know something, and if you don't tell me what it is you're going to regret it!!” He growled.

 

“Inuyasha!!” Rin said ready to stop him but Sesshoumaru pulled her into his arms and wouldn't let her go.

 

“Let go of me Sesshoumaru!!” she cried.

 

“shhh, this has to be done, Rin” he said to her.

 

“Shippou!!??” Inuyasha growled when he said nothing.

 

Shippou started sobbing. “ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!! I'll tell you. Ever since Kagome was

12 Naraku has been trying to rape her, but every time he tried I would show up accidentally and he would stop. But the other day I wasn't there, Sango was!!!” He cried.

Everyone just stared at Shippou in shock.

They had thought something like that happened but they had no idea it was happening for so long!!!!! This whole time, Kagome was secretly be molested by Naraku when they thought that everything was perfectly fine.

 

“I'm GOING TO KILL THAT BASTARD!!!!” Inuyasha roared as he started to run back towards the Mansion.

 

“HIRAIKOTSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sango screamed from where she and Kagome disappeared.

BOOM!!!!!!

With out a second thought everyone turned around and ran towards them, fear edging into their hearts.

8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8# 8#

Sango was running as fast as she could to catch up with Kagome, but when she finally did she felt her heart drop. Kagome was on her knee's hugging a tree as she cried her heart out. This must really be killing her.

 

“Kagome, what's wrong?” She said softly.

 

Kagome looked up at her with tear filled eyes. “I (sob) can't tell (sob) him, Sango…. What if he …(sob) H-hates me!!!” She said.

 

Sango looked at her sadly. “Kagome…. I don't think he could ever hate you, and be side's it wasn't your fault that Naraku tried to rape you” She replied.

 

“No, but it is her fault that that you and your friends will die!!!” Someone laughed.

Sango and Kagome stood with a gasped as they looked around to see whom had said that.

 

“Who's there, show your self!!” Sango said as she pulled her Hiraikotsu from her back reading to fight.

 

“heh heh, very well.” he said as a muscular man with long black hair, pointed ears and deep green eyes stepped out of the shadows. He was obviously a neko youkai.

 

“Who are you?” Kagome asked.

 

“My name is Koten” He answered bluntly.

 

“What do want with us?” Sango asked cautiously.

 

Koten smirked. “Kagome has been a very bad girl, I was sent to punish her.”

Kagome gasped.

Sango looked at her then back at Koten. “Like hell you will!! HIRAIKOTSU!!!!!” She screamed as she trust it at him. He pulled his sword out just in time to stop it, then he thrust it behind him as it implanted its self in a tree with a loud boom. He looked back at her and grinned.

Sango gasped and jumped in front of Kagome with her arms open wide, while Kagome just stared on in shock and fear.

 

“I won't let you hurt her!!” Sango yelled. He just cackled.

 

“Who said anything about hurting her!!! Crescent Slice!!!” He yelled before he swung his sword towards Sango making what looked like a yellow crescent blade of energy rush towards her.

 

“SANGO!!!” Miroku yelled just as he and the others burst into the scene. He started towards her but it was to late.

Everything went into slow motion as everyone stared on if shock. Sango's eyes opened wide as the blast came rushing towards her, it was mere feet from her when Kagome hit her in her side causing her to fall sideways to the ground.

 

“EEEEHHHHHH!!” Kagome screamed as the attack slammed into her instead.

 

“KAGOME!!!!!” Sango and Inuyasha screamed.

 

Everyone except Inuyasha ran up to her, he just stood there and stared in shock at her bloody crumpled body that now lay in a mess on the ground.

 

“Awww, to bad and I really wanted to see her suffer too!!” Koten tutted making everyone look at him.

Miroku and Sesshoumaru stood in front of the girls with their weapons ready. They where just about to attack when a mind-curtailing howl ripped out of Inuyasha as he stormed at Koten with his sword out. Everyone just looked on in shock once again.

Koten was barely able to dodge him when Inuyasha's sword crashed at him, but he didn't have a chance when….

 

“IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!!!!” Inuyasha screamed as his attack ripped through Koten. Koten crashed to the ground holding his now bloody pelvis. He looked up at Inuyasha in shocked fear.

 

Inuyasha towered over him. “YOU BASTARD, WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS!!!” Inuyasha roared.

 

Koten smirked liking the reaction he was getting from Inuyasha. “If she hadn't told you guys about what happened, then this would have never happened in the first place.” He replied a little to eagerly.

 

“What are you talking about?” Inuyasha growled.

 

“Naraku told her that as long as she had kept her mouth shut that you guys wouldn't be hurt, it's her own fault that she got in the way of my attack.” He laughed.

 

Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. This whole time Kagome had kept that horrible secret just to keep them safe!! She had been dealing with Naraku and his lust just to protect them from being hurt.

 

“SHE NEVER EVEN TOLD US, WE FOUND OUT ON OUR OWN!!!!” Inuyasha growled furiously.

 

Koten then took this chance to slice up at him with his sword.

Clang….

Sesshoumaru and Miroku now stood next to Inuyasha as their weapons still blocked Inuyasha from his attack. They all glared at Koten angrily.

 

Miroku then smiled at him evilly. “May I, Inuyasha?” He asked.

Inuyasha smirked and nodded. Miroku then stabbed the sharp end of his Shoji into Koten as he released a ball of purifying energy into him. Koten howled in pain as he slowly turned to ash.

 

“Sesshoumaru!!! The bleeding won't stop!!!” Rin screamed.

They spun around to see Sango, Rin, and Shippou franticly trying to stop the blood from flowing from Kagome's wounds. The guys rushed up next to them to try and help but froze and gasped when they saw just how bad Kagome's wound was. Across her front from her left shoulder down to her right hip was a huge gash.

 

Sango looked at them in a panic. “Her heart beats slowing!!! She's going to die if we don't do something fast!!!” She cried.

Inuyasha looked around frantically, his breath was heavy. He just couldn't believe this. After all that they had been through she was dieing, just like that. But the worst thing was that he couldn't do a damn thing about it!!!

 

“Inu…yasha?” Kagome wheezed with her eyes open slightly. Inuyasha pushed everyone out of the way as he pulled her into his arms.

 

“shhh, it's ok Kagome. I'm here now” He said as he tried his best not to let his tears fall.

 

“Is.. S-sango alright?” She asked.

That was so like Kagome. Thinking about other's before herself.

 

“Yeah..” he replied half heartedly.

 

“I'm ...sorr-sorry… I couldn't… be…str-stronger” She said weakly.

He pulled her tighter into his arms as his tears started down his cheek.

 

“You have nothing to be sorry for, this isn't your fault!!” he cried.

 

“yes it is…. I should have just stayed behind, then you guys would have been …safe” She said as tears started down her face as well.

 

“NO!!! I would have never left you behind!!!” he said as he looked at her determinedly.

 

“Kagome, Why!! Why didn't you just tell us what was going on, why did you have to keep it to your self!!! We could have helped you!!”

 

Kagome smiled sadly. “That's what you do… for the people you love.” She whispered before her body went limp.

 

“Kagome?… KAGOME!!? …. OH KAMI, KAGOME PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!” Inuyasha Sobbed but she didn't move.

Sango, Rin and Shippou burst into tears as Rin and Sango grabbed onto their boyfriends who held them with sad looks on their face's.

Shippou ran up to Kagome and flung himself on her sobbing his eye out while Inuyasha sat there rocking back and forth with Kagome in his arms as he cried into her hair.

Sesshoumaru held Rin tightly in his arms as a tear trickled down his face. He felt badly for Inuyasha, he couldn't imagine losing Rin like Inuyasha had lost Kagome. It may have seemed like the 2 brother's didn't care for each other at all but deep down inside they had a deep respect for each other, And Kagome was like a sister to him, she had always been there for them. She saved Rin from Inuyasha when he turned full youkai and had even sacrificed herself for them to save them from Naraku. But now she was dead.

He looked down at her sadly but then something in his mind clicked. He pulled Rin from him slightly and smiled causing her to gasp. How could he smile at a time like this!?

 

“Shh, trust me Rin.” He said before he pulled Tenseiga from it sheath and walked up to Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku and Sango were now staring at him oddly as well but he ignored them as he stared intently at Kagome's body. He watched as the soul collectors appeared to take Kagome's soul to hell.

 

Suddenly he swung his sword at them making them desinagreat into thin air.

Inuyasha was still holding Kagome not noticing a thing when he felt someone put their hand on his cheek but he only buried his face into Kagome's hair deeper.

 

“Inuyasha?” He heard a familiar voice say.

 

“K-Kagome!!” He gasped as he looked down at her in shock.

 

“I'm sorry..” She said sadly looking away.

 

“W-what for!!!” He sputtered.

 

“For not telling you about Naraku and for….betraying you…” She said with tears in her eyes. “I'll understand if you don't...want me anymore”

 

Inuyasha just stared at her in awestruck horror. How could she think that she was responsible for something she had no control over!! But more importantly how could she think that he wouldn't want her because of it!!

 

“I see, I understand” her voice cracked taking his silence as rejection. She started to stand up but Inuyasha pulled her into his arms as he buried his face into her hair once again.

 

“Never say sorry for something you have no control over” he said.

 

“Inuyasha?” She asked in confusion.

 

“Kagome, I could never not want you. Naraku will pay for what he has done, not you. You never deserved to be hurt by him, and I swear to you that I wont let him touch you again”

Kagome just sat there in shock.

 

“Inuyasha's right. We'll all protect you from that ass whole!!” Sango said coming up next to them wit ha defiant look on her face.

 

“Same here” Everyone said.

 

“Yeah!! Only I can grope you with out your permission!!” Miroku declared.

SLAM!!!!

 

“No way in hell, Monk!!” Inuyasha said while towering over the now black eyed Miroku. Sango slowly came at Miroku holding her Hiraikotsu with a menacing glare on her face.

 

Miroku put his hands up in front him “Sango!! I was only joking!!” He said innocently.

 

“Bastard!! That's not something to joke about!!!” She yelled making Miroku run for his life with her not far behind.

 

Ignore Sango and Miroku, Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and wrapped her arms around him. “Thank you Inuyasha” She whispered.

 

Inuyasha smiled softly. “You're welcome” He said as he pulled her in closer. He looked down at her hesitantly. He wanted to kiss her so badly but the reaction Miroku got the other day made him worry about how she would react to him. He didn't want to scare her or make her feel uncomfortable.

Kagome smile at him reassuringly. He smiled back at her and slowly brought his lips to hers. At first it was a soft kiss but when she returned it, he got bolder and started nipping at her bottom lip lightly. She smiled into his kiss. It felt so good!! It was soft, loving, warm… there were just so many words for it but unlike Naraku's kiss, they were all good. Naraku was wrong. Inuyasha would never leave her.

When they pulled away they noticed that it suddenly went dark. Everyone looked up to see what looked to be a solar eclipse but there wasn't supposed to be an eclipse today!!

Everyone shuttered as their body's started to glow and they were pushed from each other into a large circle. Energy flashed through their body's making them scream as they felt as if something was being ripped from their very souls. In front of them small colorful orbs of light that represented each of their souls individual color appeared.

 

Love- pink

Innocence- yellow

Friendship- orange

Courage- red

Intelligence- purple

Loyalty- green

Order- white

Purity- blue

 

Slowly the orbs floated above them into the center of their circle to meld together into one giant ball. Suddenly a huge light flashed from it making everyone cover their eyes because of the intensity of the light. When it finally died down they looked up the see a large marble sized jewel. It slowly floated down and landed on Kagome's upper chest. A silver chain appeared around her neck and connected to the jewel.

8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8

Naraku stared at the solar eclipse and smirked to himself.

 

“So the jewel has finally appeared.” He stated with a evil grin. He had been waiting for this day for 500 years.

 

Yes, He was the Youkai that had attacked and killed Kikyou's friends. He only wounded Kikyou so he could take the jewel from her and make her his mate, but that bitch had almost killed him with her purifying blast making him retreat. He was going to come back for her and the jewel but she had herself cremated and took the jewel with her!! That's when he heard the prophecy, and he vowed that one day he would have her and the jewel again. And that day had finally come. He didn't have to hold back anymore, he could finally kill all of them. He had been looking forward to this day for way to long.

 

“Soon Kagome, you and the jewel shall be mine!!” He laughed evilly.
