A/N: And so this will be the final chapter for this MW. I want to thank all who followed this story and supported me. I can't guarantee a follow up story to this, because nothing has come to me. So please enjoy the last chapter my friends.

There was a huge crash of lightning followed by pouring rain that woke Kagome. For a few seconds she couldn't remember where she was. Then her nose picked up on his scent, at some point while keeping watch over InuYasha during the night. Kagome had fallen asleep. She cursed herself for doing so and quickly checked on him. Her hand rested on his forehead finding it a bit cooler then she liked. His breathing was still slow, but still at least he was breathing. She couldn't smell any fresh blood so the wound had stopped bleeding at least. "Oh InuYasha, please stay with me till morning." Kagome said softly, as tears threaten to fall once more.

It was when she wiped a stray tear away she noticed his human hand that rest beside him. Gently she took his hand in her's and left her now clawed thumb nail glide over the back of his knuckles. It felt so odd to her having these claws, and him having human hands. She sighed heavily and wished for morning to hurry and release her from this nightmare. Still it wasn't going to end anytime soon.

With her guard down Kagome missed the change in the air. And even though the hole to the cave was small, the approaching bear youkai and the scent of InuYasha's blood. Was enough to make this hungry creature dig through anything. With a mighty roar the bear youkai started clawing his way though the small hole. It's nose picked up on two different scents and after the sound of this youkai's loud roar. It was more then enough to let Kagome know she was in trouble.

Kagome gasped at the sight before her and quickly went into defense mode. Her claws were ready and a growl could be heard coming from her. "I'll never let anything happen to my mate, you'll have to kill me first!" Kagome yelled out. The bear youkai simply roared loudly and continued digging it's way closer. Sweat started to roll down Kagome's chin, she was now beyond nervous and scared. 'What do I do? How can I kill this thing?' Her thoughts were running wild on her and she had forgotten her powers as a half youkai herself. Still that would help little considering what was about to happen.

Suddenly Kagome felt something in her body change and then a great weakness. Looking down her claws were now human nails and a deep unforgiving roar sounded from behind her. Kagome didn't have time to question the matter and before she knew it the red glow of his eyes could be seen as he attacked the bear youkai head on. She quickly went to the far corner of the cave and covered her face. She hated to watch this and to see InuYasha as he was now... Though a part of Kagome was grateful InuYasha had survived till the sun started to rise, she now wonder what was going to happen during the fight. Growls and the sound of rocks falling could be heard. There was one moment Kagome even felt the ground below her shake. She dared not look, but the crumbling rock sounds around her was more then scary.

There was one last huge rumble before half of cave crumbled around her. And once the dust settled Kagome could just make out a figure standing on something. The dust made her cough and like lightning someone had grabbed her by the neck. His growls were confusing at first, but then Kagome remembered. 'I forgot before he turned human, InuYasha's youkai side was going too...' Her thoughts stopped when his nose started sniffing her neck. Kagome dared not move an inch as he sniffed her. The image of a dog sniffing another dog before a fight came to mind as she waited to see if he still wanted her dead.

He roughly forced her to the ground and the look she saw in his red eyes was not one of love. "You...I thought I killed you!" He was almost growling at her and his fangs were now very close to her neck. "Still...you have my scent now, how can that be possible?!" InuYasha only knew one thing as he was now. The youkai in him remembered the scent of the other male that covered his mate. And as he was now he would surely kill her on that no matter what at this point. Suddenly there was a bright flash blinded him and like magic his demon blood released it's hold on him. He stared blankly, but Kagome saw. "Huh, Kagome...damn are you okay?" InuYasha asked, as he searched for any sign of injuries on her.

She smiled at him, knowing this was her true InuYasha. His golden eyes shimmered and his look of pure worry left her know she was safe now. "I am now InuYasha, thanks to your father. He protected us once again." Kagome quickly wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him as tears started to fall. He didn't know what all happened, but his mate was safe and that was all that mattered right now to him.

"Kagome, stay with me please. Don't go back to the busy place, stay here in the forest. I know it's not the same, but I can't go back there with you." Little did InuYasha know Kagome had already planned to stay here in the forest with him. After all, she was now a hanyou too...well sorta. Still there was something that worried her. "Kagome, is something wrong? You look like you're scared of something?" His clawed hand cupped her cheek, trying to comfort her. He could only imagine what all she was thinking about at that moment.

Her hand went to his and she nuzzled it, letting him know she was very much his and needed him close. "Oh InuYasha, of course I'm going to stay here with you. I'm just worry about us being found. The world is changing and this forest could be destroyed and us along with at any time." Tears threatened to fall, but he quickly embraced her.

"Shh, don't cry Kagome. We simply move deeper into the forest or find a new place to live. I know it's scary for you, but we'll be okay I know we will. Besides my home is with you, no matter where we end up. Your arms are home to me my mate."

The End
