Chapter 7.7 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Kagome continued to look on at Inuyasha with awe; he was glowing brightly shimmering under the blackened sky. His ears where disappearing amongst… darkened hair? his fangs shrank and his whole body shifted. Kagome cautiously took backward steps feeling something cold wrap around her own body, which made her heart flutter. Inuyasha's glowing soon began to fade and she could see him clearly now, her eyes widened when his once golden now lilac eyes set onto her own blue orbs.

"…Inuyasha?" she gasped lifting her hand up to her mouth.

The human standing in front of her took a step forward and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted when Kagome yelped in surprise and took yet more nervous steps backing up against the wall of the room.

"Kagome…its not that bad is it? I mean…it is me, and I'm very much human. Don't be getting all scared now…" he chuckled with that thought. "Isn't the demon Inuyasha scarier than the human?" he asked with a smile.

"Its not funny!" she yelled in annoyance. "Least you could have done was warn me!"

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes slightly. "I was going to! I can't control when I can and can't become human…"

Kagome continued to stare taking in his new human features. His hair was jet black instead of his silver locks, which she loved but black wasn't that bad either. His cute ears where now normal looking human ones attached where they should be on a human. It was his eyes that caught the most attention, she loved his golden orbs, but he now had lilac coloured irises. She shook her head clearing the confusion and looked up at him. His eyes were still narrowed in annoyance but clear with worry.

"Oh…" she replied shifting her body a notch gaining confidence to move closer.

Inuyasha sighed and lowered his head.

"Inuyasha? Was that what you wanted to tell me?"

He nodded. "There's more," he continued shifting his body to sit onto the ground. Kagome did the same as he and shifted even closer.

Her eyes fixed onto his lowered head. "Inuyasha…please tell me what's wrong…"

He looked up and pulled her in closer. "You said baba already told you things about the scrolls, right?"

Kagome nodded and laid her head onto his chest shivering under his warmth. She soon relaxed when his arms circled around her shoulders.

"…Let me start at the beginning, Kagome." He started before looking up at the shadow hovering in the corner. "…and I'm sure baba can fill in the rest…" he motioned toward the figure.

Kagome looked up from his chest then up to Kaede who nodded at them both…

**Flashback 450years in the past**

Flames surrounded him and smoke caught in his throat he lifted his sleeve of his red fire rat kimono covering his mouth before opening his golden eyes searching the small hut for the glowing sacred jewel he desired. Spotting it on its usual position high over the small temple it stood proudly above. He narrowed his eyes and spat an arrogant grunt before reaching over and snatching it from its stand.

Abruptly there was a large explosion and some of the villages guarding the jewel aimed arrows at the demon stealing their precious treasure, the armor he wore protecting his body easily matched their fire ridden arrows as he dogged and leaped out of the now fallen temple.

Taking more leaps over the small village huts he looked down at the glowing object in his hands it whispered in his sensitive ears calling and enchanting his most powerful and strong desire. He smiled almost maliciously to himself. Still he felt a twinge of regret creeping in his heart about killing the innocent humans - he shook out of his conscious thoughts and continued to run and leap through the forest at the back of the village then there was an abrupt flash of light and a burning sensation hit his chest at full force.

"Shit!" he cursed under his breath trying to free himself of this painful burning.

"Inuyasha!" he heard a females voice call him before his eyes slipped into peaceful slumber but not before letting the Miko priestess know of his hurt and betrayed thoughts. (see flashback in Chapter 5)

**Fifty years later (500years)**

It was knowledge to all small children that if they ran to far into the forest of Inuyasha, that the spirit of the half demon would get them. His at rest frozen form still hung from the massive God Tree that held off many demons reminding them that powerful miko priestesses would suck them into the same fate. The only female to ever visit the hanyou pinned by an enchanted and powerful arrow was a 50year old miko by the name of Kaede. She would visit him regularly cleaning his face softly with a wet cloth talking to him on occasion, cursing him every now and again. On this particular anniversary when Kaede was about to make her way to the god tree to see to its cargo she felt a small rush of energy rush through her and she fell to the floor with a thud.

"Lady Kaede!"

"Nai…I am fine…" she voiced reassuringly. `What was that? Can it be…?' she thought to herself before picking herself up and commanding some of the village men to venture out to the god tree and wait for anything suspicious.

"shush…I hear something…" one of the villages hushed his comrades. "Quickly run back to the village and warm Lady Kaede about this stranger hovering around Inuyasha"

The village men looked on hiding behind one of the many tree's eyeing the stranger who looked like she was…touching the hanyou's ears.

"Do you think it's a Kitsune?" one of the other younger men asked the older of the men villages.

Kaede walked out of her hut carrying her demon repellent salts she suspiciously looked over the strange girl before lunging the salt and chanting over her. She coughed and spoke up causing the village spectators to back step in fear of their lives.

"HEY!" the girl yelped in surprise.

"Thee are not demon?" Kaede soon asked the dark-headed girl.

"Do I look like a demon to you?!" she spat in her defense.

Kaede soon smiled and motioned for her bindings to be freed. "Come girl" she spoke quietly.

---

"My name is Higurashi Kagome. I came from the…the well" the girl with black hair and strange attire introduced herself.

Kaede looked over the girl in front of her before offering her some hot soup. "Kagome?" she breathed.

Kagome nodded dumbly staring at the soup. "I'm really not in Tokyo anymore…" she quietly voiced.

"To-k-yo?" Kaede looked puzzled

Kagome laughed nervously. "Yes, that's where I come from"

Kaede and Kagome where broken out of their conversation when they heard many villages screaming and shouting over explosions and a very loud hissing noise. They reached the outside the hut only to come face to face with a centipede demon slithering through the village demanding that it wanted the Jewel of four souls.

Kaede gasped. "The jewel of four souls?" she knew what that was. The Shinkon no Tama the treasure her dead sister once protected.

Kagome looked up at the demon her face full of concern and determination. "The demon is looking for me!" she called over to the older lady, who looked on in awe and confusion.

Kagome legged it through the village gaining the centipede's attention.

Meanwhile…

"Help me…"

Inuyasha could feel his heart beat once, twice, three times before he had the strength to finally move his arms and body from under the dark weight he was trapped under. His nose twitched and his ears jerked up he could smell her…she was coming…

"The girl who killed me…she is here….she is coming near, I can smell her…" he concentrated on moving one hand up to the burning sensation heaving out of his chest. His heartbeat grew stronger and he felt warm but cold as she came closer.

"HELP ME SOMEONE…ANYONE PLEASE!" he heard her scream again.

Inuyasha raised his eyebrows in surprise as she neared, "What's wrong, Kikyo…just do him like you did me." He scorned in disgust.

Kagome looked up at the weird looking boy. "He's awake," she breathed. Suddenly the massive centipede demon whipped its long body out and knocked Kagome to the ground. She screamed in pain and got to her feet in desperation.

"Pathetic…" Inuyasha snorted once again.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Hey you!"

"What?! Kikyo"

"Who?" Kagome asked.

"You heard me, Kikyo. What are you doing just fry the bug!"

"Listen who ever this Kikyo person is I am not her, my name is Kagome. Ka-Go-Me, got it!" she scoffed in his face.

"What are you talking about?" he said taking in her sent before widening his eyes, "you smell like…you're not…her. How the hell did I make that mistake!?"

Kagome nodded smugly.

"You're right, Kikyo was a lot cuter and better looking, she smelled a heck of a lot nicer plus she could fry demon asses with one touch. Heck I've seen a kitsune kick a giant demons butt better than you and Kitsune are puny bastards…you're twice the size of one and pathetically weak…oh she's coming again by the way"

Kagome was fuming when the centipedes lunged at her again causing Kagome to lose her footing and fall from the boys side.

She was attacked once more this time being pulled by her hip by sharp teeth that dug into her side ripping at her skin releasing the glowing jewel from under her it. She gasped when she noticed the glowing object surrounded in her own blood fall down beside her on the ground.

"Quickly child! Kill the demon before it takes the jewel" Kagome heard Lady Kaede shout from above. She gulped and looked up at the strange looking boy and back to the jewel.

She reached out and grabbed the jewel but the centipede got to it first. Kagome heaved her whole body back up to a standing position but was soon caught off guard and shoved back toward the tree that held the strange looking boy. She closed her eyes and opened them again. "You talk big, but can you beat this thing?" she asked Inuyasha.

Inuyasha snorted "Feh! Can you pull this thing out?"

Kagome's eyebrows rose in annoyance and she took the arrow in her hand and pulled, suddenly the whole of her arm and hand starting to glow. Inuyasha could feel the warmth and power that surged from this girl into his own body; he shivered at how powerful it actually was. It was almost scary he was unsure if he should be allowing this to happen if she was anything like Kikyo then she was dangerous.

Suddenly he felt it disappear and his heart lunged forward in his chest beating rapidly and gaining strength he opened his eyes and felt his power fully reform as the massive centipede drowned them in its strong death clench. Inuyasha powered up and ripped out with his claws and full body with such power that the girl and centipede lunged off of him with force. The centipede had grabbed the jewel and swallowed it, which meant it would be able to reform itself soon.

He heard Kaede gasp in surprise and scorn the girl for releasing him. "You old hag! If it weren't for me you would all be dead by now!"

"Quickly you need to find the jewel it glows brightly. Look now!" Kaede said to Kagome.

Kagome found the jewel easily and pulled it out from the centipede's broken body.

Inuyasha stood over the scene and eyed the girl with hate, even if she weren't Kikyo she was too much alike her and smelt almost identical and it angered him. His last memory was what she had done to him, killing him without a second thought dishonoring their feelings and betraying his. He growled and lunged at Kagome with his claws chasing her and the newly acquired jewel.

**end flashback**

Inuyasha pulled Kagome from his chest and looked her straight in the eyes. "The next memory is the one I wish I could forget most of the time."

Kaede smiled knowingly and Kagome looked up in confusion. "Why?"

"You and the old witch here stuck me under a subduing spell!" Inuyasha let loose a growl under his breath and took something out from the back pocket. Kagome looked down at the old looking rosary chain, it looked like it was falling apart she watched Inuyasha stroke it with his clawless thumb and stare at it almost regrettably.

"This rosary was the only thing that kept you safe and Inuyasha on occasion from getting hurt." Kaede said to the oddly confused girl in the hanyou's lap.

"I wouldn't have hurt her!" Inuyasha spat in his defense.

Kaede simply ignored his anger and continued. "You activated it with one word…"

"Yeah! And your choice of words was humiliating!" Inuyasha snapped unconsciously causing Kagome to shift nervously.

"Umm…do I even have to be surprised?" she whispered under her own breath.

"Oswurai" came the reply. Kagome felt Inuyasha twitch uncomfortably under her. She looked up at him apologetically "Oh…Inuyasha, what happened every time I said…sit?" she blushed and lowered her head figuring it out almost instantly `sit'

"Keh…"

"We have much more to tell you, Kagome." Kaede interrupted the tension filled room. "The curse I spoke of in the scrolls is what is most important now," she continued looking over to the hanyou turned human.

Inuyasha looked up at Kaede and nodded closing his eyes despondently.

Kaede began to recite the curse, "Love is found, as the stars shine down, two hearts shall beat as one. As the stars fade at dawn, love will be lost. One heart shall cease to beat, the other shall run wild. Untamed at heart. Two hearts shall beat as one. One heart pure, one heart wild."

Kagome felt the shivers retreat up and down her spine as she listen to what the older lady was saying, her thoughts betrayed her feelings trying desperately not to believe, but the problem was she did. Inuyasha was a demon and he was strong - she could feel things even when she were younger she had the ability to see through people. Her grandfather told her stories of the Miko priestess who once lived and protected this shrine - her ancestors lived and guarded the god tree and its treasure for years.

"Kagome?"

Kagome jumped at her name - she was crying? When did that happen?

Inuyasha reached out and touched her gently running his hands through her long black hair; Kagome closed her eyes and leaned into his touch. Kaede knew the girl had heard enough for the night. Time was growing short and now that Inuyasha had found Kagome and vice versa things would start to happen, their past will soon catch up to them and if Inuyasha weren't ready for this battle, he would lose Kagome yet again.

Sango and Miroku watched on from the doorway having snuck in after Kaede's disappearance. Soon they were silent watching the interaction of the human Inuyasha and their best friend hold onto one another listening to her weeping and his soothing voice. Miroku took a hold of Sango's hand slowly and tightened his grip accordingly while her tears soon fell from her own eyes.
