Miroku, Shippou, Kaede, and Myouga sat outside of the hut, listening to Kagome's shrieks and sobs. Their hearts went out to the poor girl, who was torn between her duty as Jewel protector and love. Minutes passed by, and her cries began to subside, and before long the hut was silent. They watched as Sango emerged from the hut, the basket of herbs in one hand, concern etched on her face.
asleep," she informed the group. She glanced back behind her. "It's probably for the best . . . she'll need all the strength she can muster before sundown." Sango sighed, then sat down next to Miroku.
can't believe Inuyasha," Shippou grumbled, "how can he choose becoming a full demon over Kagome?!"
it's hard to believe," Myouga said sadly, "Lady Kagome is now in more danger than she ever will be. I still don't understand why she's allowing him to become a full demon."
loves him," Miroku said, sighing. "People do crazy things for love." He looked over at Sango. "Did she say anything while you were in there?"
looked down. He never said he loved her . . . but I know he does . . . he's just to scared to admit it . . . "No, nothing," she lied. There's no need getting the others worked up because Inuyasha didn't say the words . . . in his heart, I know he does, and that's what counts.
day went by quickly. Kagome remained asleep, oblivious to the fact that the sun had begun to set. Inuyasha, who was no where to be seen, emerged from the forest. The group greeted him, and told him Kagome was inside, asleep. No matter how much they didn't want to see Kagome in pain, and how stupid Inuyasha was, he was still their friend. The hanyou nodded, and entered the hut.
room was dimly lit, the sun's last few rays barely touching anything. He walked over to the bed where Kagome lay, her hair fanned out behind her. She looked exhausted; her eyes were puffy, her mouth drooped, and her arm dangled limply from the edge of the bed. She's beautiful, Inuyasha thought, reaching out to pull a stray strand of hair from her eyes. He caressed her soft cheek. Kagome, you're so strong . . . you'll make a wonderful Soul Protector. He glanced at the Jewel in his left palm. I know I'm being selfish, becoming a full demon . . . you showed me that being a hanyou is alright . . . you never judged me once by my looks . . . oh Kagome, I know you must think you failed me . . . but the truth is . . . I failed you . . . as a protector, as a friend . . . and as your love . . . I don't deserve you . . . but I can't live the rest of my life thinking about you . . . so my only solution is becoming a full demon . . .
walked into the hut, startled at what she found. Inuyasha was kneeling at the side of Kagome's bed, stroking her cheek, lost in his thoughts. So they finally found each other, She thought. I thought ye two would never become friends, judging from ye attiitude's toward one another . . . it never crossed my mind that ye two would fall in love. She turned around quietly, making sure not to disturb the precious moment between the two.
. . ." Inuyasha said softly. The girl stirred at the sound of his voice, her eyes fluttering open. Her brown eyes, their usual sparkle gone, focused on his sad golden pools. "Is it time?" she whispered. The hanyou nodded, rising, and helping the young miko stand.
outside watched as Inuyasha emerged from the hut, his hand on Kagome's back, supporting the girl. Looking at all of them, the dog demon led the girl away from the hut, towards Goshinboku. Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Shippou, Myouga, and Kaede followed, all of them silent.
walk to seemed to only last a mere couple seconds. Kagome tried to cherish the moment, knowing it would be the last time Inuyasha would be with her in a sane mind, but she knew her efforts were in vain. She was surprised when they stopped in front of Goshinboku. "This tree?" she asked. "But wh--"
is where I first met you. This is where I want to last see you." Inuyasha explained softly. They waited silently together as the others caught up. When everyone was there, Inuyasha gruffly started his goodbyes.
yeah, thanks Miroku. Your wind tunnel was a great help and all, and I hope you control that lecherous hand of yours."
you're a pretty good fighter, for a girl." He gulped as Sango gave him a death glare. "You could beat the crap out of any demon," he added.
you really got on my nerves," Inuyasha started, amused at the kitsune's angry stare, "but you're a great kid. You'll grow up and be a strong fighter."
you old hag, you were always on my back for something I did," he scowled, "but you took me in when no one else did."
stooped down to pet Kirara, then turned to Kagome. His tough attitude he had with the others slowly melted away, revealing a very shy and nervous boy. "Kagome, I, uh,--" he was looking down, his face starting to show a faint red tint. The young miko smiled, encouraging Inuyasha to let his heart do the talking. Ignoring the others, he began to speak.
"Kagome, I appreciate everything you've done for me. You showed me what life can really be like. You gave me friends, you made me laugh, and you showed me being a hanyou isn't all that bad. . ."
voice became softer with emotion. "You gave me a life, Kagome, and even though I never told you, I was thankful you never left my side. Now you give me the Jewel, your soul, for my own selfish reasons."
fixed his eyes to hers. "I will never forget you Kagome. You'll always be in my heart." He took a step forward and held Kagome in an embrace. A single tear fell from her eye, but she wasn't sad. "Aishiteru, Kagome." he whispered before pulling away. Her eyes grew wide, her body trembling. He . . . he loves me . . . She thought shakily.
turned towards the rest of the group. "I suggest you move a few hundred feet away," he grumbled, "I don't know what I'm going to do once I turn full demon." The others agreed, and Sango walked over to a shocked Kagome and gently led her away.
how will Kagome get the Jewel back when Inuyasha's full demon?" Shippou asked.
after Inuyasha's wish is fulfilled, the Jewel will return to her, seeing as she is it's Soul Protector. " He answered.
stood by Goshinboku, alone. He glanced toward the cluster of trees a hundred feet away from him, where the others watched. This is it . . .
a deep breath, he clutched the Jewel and said, "Shikon Jewel, turn me into a full demon." The Jewel in his hand began to glow, engulfing his arm in a purple light before moving to cover the rest of his body. Inuyasha felt a tingling feeling as the light began to consume him. Please, he thought, let me keep my heart . . .
and the others watched as Inuyasha's body began to spasm, his limbs extending, and marks began to appear on his face. A low rumble came from his throat as he he began to growl. He looks like he's in pain, the young miko thought. Not being able to bear the thought of Inuyasha suffering, Kagome rushed toward him.
Come back!!! He'll kill you!!" Sango yelled, hoping her friend would listen. But Kagome just kept on running, and in a manner of seconds she managed to close the distance between them from a hundred feet to less than 20. Inuyasha turned to look at the girl, his red eyes glaring at her. The transformation was complete, for the purple light around him began to disappear, leaving a very angry demon in front of her.
Kagome started, but she was never able to finish her sentence, for a shrill scream pierced the air. Everyone, including Inuyasha and Kagome, turned to the direction from which the scream came from.
few hundred feet away, across from where the others were watching, stood Kikyou.
Kagome breathed.
priestess's eyes, which were large with shock, suddenly narrowed at the sight of her reincarnation. "You fool!" she yelled. "What have you done to him?!?"
stood silently, staring at her. "You gave him the Jewel?" Kikyou continued to yell. "How could you allow him to become a full demon?!?" The young girl remained still, her mind refusing to let her speak.
took a step forward, her soul collectors rushing forth and restraining Kagome. "Foolish girl, you don't deserve to be the Keeper of the Shikon Jewel," she hissed. She drew out an arrow from her back, laid it on her bow, drew back the string, and aimed it at her reincarnation.
have allowed the Jewel to become corrupt, taking Inuyasha along with you. I'm tired of seeing your medling face in this time. You must die!"
released the arrow, a purple light surrounding it. "Kagome!! Move!!" The others screamed.
struggled, unable to move. The hold of Kikyou's soul collectors around her was too strong.
