He growled deeply into his chest, baring his fangs to the old priestess. He slowly came closer and the stench of blood and fear grew stronger.
"Don't do this Inuyasha!" Kaede said pleadingly.
"Old hag either way I'm going to get her…" He snarled taking a step closer, "And whether it be my way or the 'You'll surely die' way. But you'll give her to me none the less. You'll see…"

Chapter Twenty-six: Contain me
Kagome could feel someone trying to wake her up, and she tried to open her eyes, to stir, but she only fell deeper into her unconscious state. Her subconscious flashed pictures of her family, old memories; good and bad.
She felt as though she was running around in an endless maze, darkness all around her. She needed somebody next to her, she wanted somebody by her side. There came a flash of light, but it was only a brief one.
Stopping in her tracks, Kagome looked around for any sign of an exit or something that would tell her which way to go. She could hear a faint voice calling to her, pleading for her to come. Reluctantly, she followed until she saw a faint glowing form.
The person looked sad and lonely as an imaginary wind blew his black tresses across his dark tanned skin. His violet eyes stared into hers as if peering into her soul.
"Kagome?" He whispered with a surprised tone in his voice.
As the light faded enough to where Kagome didn't have to squint her eyes, the young boy had came a few feet away from her body, a worried expression playing on his face.
"You can't be here Kagome.." he said quickly. "You have to leave! Go wake up! You're not safe here!"
"What do you mean I'm not safe here?" She asked confusedly, "Who are you?"
His hand gripped hers and he tried to lead her away, but she wouldn't budge. She didn't know who he was, but the way his touch made her feel warm and safe it was oddly familiar. She stared hard at his facial features, hoping to make a match somewhere, but when he frowned in frustration her eyes widened in surprise.
"..Inuyasha?.." she gasped pulling out of his grasp and backing up away from him.
"No..Don't be afraid of me Kagome, please…" he begged her as he stood there, "I won't hurt you. Please don't be afraid of me.."
"Inuyasha…How could yo-..How could I?…" Tears started to fall down her cheeks as she looked away from him.
Kagome could feel Inuyasha wrap his arms around her body. He hugged her tightly as his cheek lay against hers. His breath was hot against her neck and she felt chills run up her spine as he spoke.
"It's not your fault.." he whispered, "Please don't cry…I can't bare to see you sad.. It's hurts Kagome.. It breaks my heart to see you cry because of me.."
She touched a stray strand of his long black hair and it instantly turned to silver. He loosened his hold on her and she looked up at his now amber orbs. She gently touched one of his triangular ears and it twitched.
"I can't protect you Kagome.." he said sullenly, "You must open your eyes and contain me before it's too late..You have to say the word that will forever keep me from harming you!"
"But Inuyasha.." she started.
"Shhhh," He put one of his clawed fingers to her lips instructing her to cease her chatter, "Do as I ask this one time.."
He took off his haori and placed it over her shoulders and brushed the stray hair away from her face as he stared into her eyes.
"Say the word. Kagome, contain my spirit…" he whispered as his lips brushed against her forehead, and then he was gone.
O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O
Kaede was some how able to keep Inuyasha away from the unconscious Kagome until Sango and Miroku had come to the entrance of the hut. Then the hanyou dove at Kaede, successfully knocking the old priestess away from his next victim.
He picked up Kagome by the front of her shirt and bandages, lifting her well enough of a few inches off the ground. Her head lolled lifelessly to one of her shoulders exposing the side of her neck. Her veins were now in clear view of the transformed hanyou.
Glancing back at the ones he called friends, his smirked and the mischievous expression grew bigger. Sango struggled to break free from Miroku's strong hold on her. She was fuming, a weapon grasped tightly in her right hand, her knuckles were practically white.
"Let her go!" Sango screamed, "Damn you Inuyasha! I'll kill you myself if I have to!"
Inuyasha growled irritably, immediately followed by silence. Miroku had clamped one of his hands over the hysterical demon slayer's mouth after handing a few white pieces of paper over to Kaede. The hanyou's attention turned back to the unconscious Kagome because of the scent of her tears. He frowned as he wiped the water from her pale face feeling the shivers that ran throughout her body.
"You stupid bitch!" he snarled as he gripped her chin in his clawed hand, "I'll take pleasure in killing you slowly.."
His eyes were drawn to the juncture of her neck where a large vein pulsed. He wanted to taste her skin before he would rip her to shreds. Gently (yeah right) he lowered his head and kissed Kagome's neck, letting his tongue roughly go across her vein.
Kagome's eyes shot open at his "soft caress". She had found a word, taking him off guard she pulled out of his grasp, tearing her shirt and bandages. Time seemed to slow down as she began to fall backwards, but she could only catch a slight glimpse of his triangular silver ears and she could hear a faint whisper in her mind.
'Contain my spirit Kagome….Contain me…'
"….Sit…" she whispered softly.
His eyes widened in anger, but then the rosary around his neck began to glow and he went crashing into the ground face first. He couldn't move and he growled angrily as he tried to get up so he could kill her then and there.
Kagome closed her eyes once Inuyasha hit the floor and let herself collide with the hard surface. It knocked the air from her lungs and when she opened her eyes everything was blurry until it went black.
O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O O.O
Kaede moved quickly as Inuyasha lay struggling on the ground, growling and shouting profanities. Before the spell could ware off and he could get up, she placed a few seals underneath his haori and one on his neck. When she finished, the elderly woman rushed over to Kagome and looked back at the monk and demon slayer.
"No matter how much ye like those positions, I need ye young monk to help carry Kagome into the other room."
Sango elbowed Miroku when he didn't let go of her. He blushed then released the demon slayer, helping move Kagome into the room in which Sango slept in.
Cautiously the demon slayer walked over to the fallen hanyou. She frowned before she rolled him over onto his back. His eyes were ablaze, blood red and it gave her the creeps.
"Bitch!" he snarled baring his fangs, "Take these seals off me now!"
She stood up with her hands on her hips and briefly stuck out her tongue. "Inuyasha.." she said snobbishly, "You are in no condition to be ordering me around."
"Why you litt--"
CRACK! Out of nowhere Sango pulled out her boomerang and knocked Inuyasha upside the head with it, rendering him unconscious. Mior4ku rushed out of the room with Kaede right behind him. When he saw the unconscious hanyou and the demon slayer with a victorious smirk on her face, the monk laughed.
Sango looked at the laughing Miroku and she blushed. Strapping her boomerang onto her back, she brushed the invisible dust from her outfit.
"So..How's Kagome doing?" She asked changing the subject while glancing uneasily up at Kaede.
"She's going to be just fine after she rests a bit." The old priestess replied as she began to pick up the rest of the herbs were spilled all over the floor around Inuyasha.
"Hey Sango?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah?" she replied looking up at the monk.
He rubbed the back of his neck with his good hand as he tried to think of something good to say. Watching her eyes sparkle, Miroku was suddenly lost for words and he froze. This hadn't happened to him before when he tried to talk to her, but now it was different.
"Um…uh.. Never mind.." he gave up.
"Oh, okay then." She sighed as she made her way from the hut.
Slowly she walked until she was back at the exact spot where the final battle against Naraku had taken place. Even though she hadn't killed Naraku like she'd vowed, since he was dead, technically it meant that she got some kind of revenge right? She was in the fight that brought the worthless half demon to his demise, so she was happy with that. Maybe a little upset on how it all transpired, but her mind was almost pleased with the out come.
Finding a nice place to rest, Sango settled underneath a cherry blossom tree; one of the few that had survived the miasma and what not. She took off her boomerang and laid it down beside herself as she closed her eyes and tried her best to relax.
