"NO!" she screamed, "Inuyasha! Don't die on me! Please open your eyes! You can't leave me like this! I need you to protect me!" the tears flowed freely as she gripped his blood filled shirt, "I need you to be with me.. Inuyasha please open your eyes. I need you to love me…"

Kagome laid her head down on Inuyasha's chest and wept. Her sobs could be heard a mile away, loosing track of time and everything around her, Kagome slipped into unconsciousness.

She couldn't control her body, it was acting on its own accord, to her knowledge at least. She could see Miroku out of the corner of her eyes, a horrified expression on his face.

"SANGO! Get away from Shippo!" he yelled as he ran towards her.

Chapter eleven: Not everything's so bleak.

"Miroku!!" she screamed, "Help me! I can't control my body!"

He almost reached her when she jumped back, landing a yard or two away from him. She slowly unsheathed her katana and lunged at Shippo, who was barely able to climb to his feet.

"NO! Sango!" Miroku yelled as she charged the kitsune, her katana held tightly in front of her.

Shippo tried to dodge her attack, but he moved to slow Her arms went above her head and came down on the young kitsune with super human speed. Normally she wasn't able to cut a youkai's hide with that dull blade, but today was different. The katana sliced through Shippo like butter through slightly melted butter.

She let out a horrified scream as the young kitsune split in half and his two pieces crumbled to the ground His blood absorbed into the dirt and his body turned to dust and blew away. Sango stopped and regained the control over her body. She collapsed to her knees and began to cry, holding her face in her hands.

Miroku was completely mortified by Sango's actions. He cautiously walked over to her and laid his hand on her shoulder and stood over her. She turned and wrapped her arms around his waist and cried into his abdomen. He blushed but silently stroked her hair.

"I didn't mean to." She cried.

"I know Sango, I know." He sighed as he knelt down so he could look into her eyes.

"I couldn't control my body. I felt as though I was a puppet." She continued to sob as he moved her head onto his shoulder.

An evil laugh floated out from the forest as the sun almost instantly disappeared behind a gigantic could of miasma.

"Poor Sango, slaying a defenseless fox child." A voice cooed, "Even for you that's pretty low, especially since he was one of your allies."

"We have no time for your games Naraku! So tell us why you've come!" Miroku demanded.

"Aye then." Naraku cooed appearing out of the forest of trees covered by his baboon pelt, "I've just come to give you my appraisal. You've managed to kill off one of your friends and while you're busy with another one of my tasks I will rid myself of that badly injured hanyou and his pathetic woman."

Miroku and Sango angrily got to their feet and glared at Naraku, who just laughed. Sango unsheathed her katana once again and took a fighting stance. The monk stepped back a few paces and the demon slayer looked back at him.

"You go!" she yelled, "Go find Inuyasha and Kagome! I'll be okay. I can't protect us for long, but I can hold him off for as long as I can!"

"But Sango---" Miroku stammered,

"But nothing! Just go!" she yelled at him again. ."It's nothing but one of Naraku's puppets."

Reluctantly Miroku dashed into the trees, running as fast as he could to the well, taking the long way. He could sense that Naraku was close, very close indeed. He jumped over the fallen logs of the dead trees, almost falling over himself. As he eventually neared the well he could hear a faint voice grow louder.

"Get away! I'll kill you!"

Sango charged Naraku, her katana slightly to her left. She pulled back and swung at him, but he disappeared before it hit him. In a flash he was behind her and shot a tentacle at her. It went right through her left shoulder, and she cried out in pain as the long dark brown tentacle struck a near by tree, and pinned her there, her face right up against the tough bark of the tree.

"My dear Sango," Naraku cooed, "You would have been better off it you and that monk fought together. Why send him off for the victory while I tear you limb from limb?"

"I would rather die for the ones I love, then have them suffer while I feel no pain!" she growled.

"Aye, is that why you wish revenge? Because my demons and I had slain your village, your family, including Kohaku?" he laughed as he flung another one of his tentacles, hitting the tree inches away from Sango's head.

"No matter what you do to me I'll live! I cannot die until I have slain you!" She yelled, moving her hands onto the sides of the tree trunk.

She quickly put her right foot upon the tree by her neck and pulled out a little pouch. She opened it and in the blink of an eye, she threw a handful of the poison powder behind her directly at him. He recoiled back withdrawing his tentacles. Sango dropped to her knees and picked up her fallen katana. Holding her breath she slashed at Naraku, slicing his chest open. The poison was sucked into his body as Sango quickly made her way into the forestall trees.

"That should slow him down a bit." She told herself as she made her way to the well to help out Miroku, taking a short cut.

Kagome opened her eyes as she felt two strong arms, one on her shoulder and the other around her waist. Her body lay over his, hear head in the crook of his neck. A breeze came by and she shivered. Kagome could feel the wetness on her blouse.

"Inuyasha?" she asked as she tried to push herself to a sitting position.

As she tried to get up Inuyasha's arms weakly held her down.. She could feel his body tense up, as his breathing became louder and ragged.

"D…Don't …..move…." he whispered into her ear.

She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and held him closely. Silent tears rolled down her face as she nuzzled her head into his neck.

"I thought you died Inuyasha," She whispered back, "I was so afraid that I had lost you."

He gently ran his fingers through her hair and laughed faintly, "I would never leave you Kagome." He paused before adding, "So don't you ever try to leave me again."

"I promise," she said gazing into his half closed eyes, "But we have to talk."

"No, later. Let's just live for right now." Inuyasha replied softly as he gripped her tightly in his arms, drawing her closer to himself.

Inuyasha lifted his head slightly and kissed her cheek, then the tip of her nose. Kagome moved her head and captured the hanyou's lips in a sweet and tender kiss. His ears twitched a little as an eerie wind blew by and he caught the stench of death, blood, and Naraku. He growled deep into his chest, causing Kagome to pull away suddenly.

"Did I hurt you?" she asked concernedly.

"If you didn't I'll be glad to finish him off.." a woman said coldly.

Kagome looked up and turned her head to look at the girl. She had on a half blue and half-red kimono, short black hair that was tied behind her head and the iciest cold glare. In her hand the woman held a fan.

"Oh, don't look so surprised." She laughed, "I'm Kagura."

"You must be one of Naraku's demons," Inuyasha growled slowly sitting up, "Because I can smell him and demon stench all over you."

"I guess since you've found out my secret I can't let you live." Kagura said coldly.

Kagura smiled coyly as she drew her fan to her face, and then she slowly raised it above her head, followed by a fast sweep of its sent gigantic blasts of three slicing waves of wind. In a second the still injured hanyou grabbed Kagome's waits and rolled on top of her, taking the hit to his unprotected back.

Sango watched as the female demon attacked Inuyasha and Kagome. Angrily she withdrew a few of her daggers from the hidden placed on her inner thighs. She threw them at the youkai's back.

Kagura turned around as the daggers came slicing through the air towards her. She flicked her fan and the weapons dropped instantly to the ground with a soft thud. She rolled her eyes and looked at the demon slayer.

"Who are you and how dare you try and attack me!" Kagura growled irritably.

"I'm a demon exterminator," Sango replied angrily, "And if you don't GET AWAY! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Such big words for such a pathetic human." The demonness growled

Time seemed to stand still as Kagura flicked her wrist lifelessly and sent piercing blows towards the demon exterminator. Miroku came from the brush, his eyes wide with horror. The monk quickly ran to Sango's side and unleashed his wind tunnel on the demon.

"Sango! Go help Kagome with Inuyasha! I can take care of her!" He yelled taking the hit to his right/left hand ((sorry not sure which one.))

________________________________________________________

Kagome lay underneath Inuyasha, he breathed heavily, blood dripping onto her clothes. She was thankful that Sango was trying to keep Kagura busy it gave Kagome sometime to think of an escape.

"Inuyasha? Are you going to be alright?" she asked.

"Yeah…" he whispered hoarsely as he slowly rolled off her and onto the grass next to her, "Are..you…hurt?"

Sitting up and leaning over Inuyasha she shook her head and whispered "no". She was on the verge of tears when the hanyou showed a lopsided grin.

"Come on Inuyasha. We have to get you out of here." She said whipping the bangs from his eyes.

Sorry for the a/n of doom up there but here is a preview of the next chapter.

Chapter Twelve: Betrayal? Why Inuyasha?

"I don't think the world revolves around me you jerk!" she spat, "IF you hate me soo much why don't you just go back to KIKYO!" she shouted then sarcastically adding, "Oh wait, you can't because she's DEAD!!"

Kagome and Sango know that she had crossed the line when she uttered those venomous words. Inuyasha looked hurt for a moment before his eyes slightly flickered red as rage surged through his body. He took a step closer to Kagome, his hands clenching and unclenching, his sharp claws digging into his skin.

"Take that back wench!" he gritted his teeth.

"NO!" she screamed loudly, "And my name's not wench! You jerk! It's Kagome! KA-GO-ME!!! USE IT CORRECTLY OR NOT AT ALL!"
