Inuyasha (MY WAY)

Near Death

Karau's hair fades to the shining silver and her ears disappear. Sesshomuro lifts her limp body into his arms. Rin pushes past the guards to Sesshomuro, Kaede right behind her.

"Lady Karau." Rin says looking up at her. Inuyasha stumlbes back dropping his sword all together.

"Come Rin." Sesshomuro says turning away from the crowd of villagers. Rin turns and gives Kaede a warm smile, she follows after Sesshomuro.

Inuyasha falls to his knees, "Kagome, Kagome, Kagome, Kagome." he whispers. He stays like that till the sun is on the horizon.

"Inuyasha? Sweetie are you ok? What happened?" Kikyo asks from behind him.

"Kagome, Kagome is alive." he says slowly.  Kikyo gasps, but quickly recovers herself.

"What are you going to do?" she asks sadly.

"She's not the same. She's a half-demon." he says coldly.

"But you still love her don't you?" Inuyasha quickly turns around to see Kikyo smiling sadly.

"I do, but I love what she's become." Inuyasha rises slowly, nods at Kikyo,  and takes off toward the pond.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry." she sweeps slightly.

Sesshomuro places Karau into the clear blue water, letting her float to the center. Rin comes out of the woods with a handful of berries, for when Karau is revived. Karau sinks under the water letting it revive her weakened body. Slowly her hair turns back to its natural black color and her ears reappear. When she opens her eyes they are not green, but red from when she changes into her weakened state. Karau slowly drags herself out of the water.

"How do you feel?" Sesshomuro asks kneeling beside her.

"Weak." she answers, laying on her back.

"Here you go." Rin says holding out the berries. Karau smiles at her taking one, "Thank you."

"I got it Sesshomuro, I got the Jewel." Karau says weakly. "I can become my true self now." As she finishes Inuyasha emerges from the woods.

"Karau." he staggers toward her. She looks over at him and he stops, noticing her eyes have turned red. "Karau what happened? Are you ok?"

Karau turns away from him, "I'll be fine, now." She clutches the Shikon Jewel in her hand.

"You took it didn't you?" Inuyasha dears ask. Karau stands up with Sesshomuro's help and looks him directly in the eye.

"Do you know why I left? Do you know why I gave my soul to Kikyo?" Karau asks angrily. Inuyasha looks at her with surprise and wonder.

"Don't do this now. We have to get to Kaguya's palace." Sesshomuro says holding her up.

"Wasn't it destroyed?" Karau asks, remembering the last time she was there as Kagome.

"It is a secluded place to grant your wish. Incase anything is to go wrong." Sesshomuro says. Quickly he is on the ground again and Karau is holding her sword to his throat, "If you dare betray me I will kill you. I am not be as old as you, but I am ten times stronger." She stumbles back using her sword for support.

"Of course." Sesshomuro says through his teeth. "Come we need to leave now if we are to make it before the next full moon." Then Sesshomuro's two-headed dragon, A-Un, appears. He lays Karau on A-Un and gets on too, "Rin go back to the village."

"Don't follow us." Karau says to Inuyasha as they fly away. Inuyasha wanting answers to his questions follows them.

"He's following us." Sesshomuro says looking down into the trees.

"Don't bother, like he can do anything to stop this." Karau says. She lifts up a strand of her hair, as it slowly starts to change into the shining silver. "We have to hurry, I may not make it to the next full moon." Sesshomuro looks down at her as she grows paler. Sesshomuro speeds up and Inuyasha, thinking that they are trying to escape him, speeds up as well.

They are the first to arrive at, what's left of,  Kaguya's palace just before sun down. Slowly A-Un lowers them to the ground. Sesshomuro lifts Karau off A-Un and gently lays her on a clearing where they isn't any debris. He lifts the jewel off her neck and places it in her hand.

"Why? Why have you helped me for all this time?" Karau asks taking his hand.

"It was only to get what I truly desire." He says taking his hand out of hers.

"And what is it you desire?" she says, squeezing the jewel.

"Make your wish, you don't have much time left." Sesshomuro says lifting a strand of her hair, her shining silver hair has almost reached her roots. "The Shikon Jewel will grant any wish you could have."

"Any wish I could have."

 A bright purple light surrounds the area around Karau, just as Inuyasha approaches A-Un. Sesshomuro stumbles back and Inuyasha falls to his knees at what he sees in the blinding, yet beautiful light.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
