To really get the most out of this, you've got to visualize it. To 'see' InuYasha and Kagome and min'na like it's in manga form.
*Contemplates the idea*
I think that I may draw this in manga if I ever can find the time.

Contemplation
Kagome sat at the desk in her bedroom, her eyes fixed on the piece of paper in front of her, but her thoughts elsewhere.
Naraku, he's too strong for us!
She shuddered, remembering their last battle, the horrific way in which he dealt with his ally who had grown useless…
*Flash*
Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo and the rest of the gang stood in a forest, facing in a circle, everyone had their weapons drawn. A hollow laugh echoed through the trees and Inu-Yasha grated his teeth before calling out,
" Come out and fight like a man! Or are you too afraid that I'll beat you!?"
There was silence before a large shape stepped out from behind a tree, it walked towards them, everyone tense, ready to attack, but Kagome had known that hadn't been him, it didn't have his power signature, and the tug that it had on her soul, calling to it…
" Kikyou," Inu Yasha whispered, making Kagome flinch. The way he said her name…
Kikyou walked slowly towards the group, casting a scathing glance at Keada and Kagome. She raised her bow at Inu-Yasha.
" You told me last time we met," she said, talking to Inu-Yasha, " that you loved me--"
Kagome flinched. She'd been there, hiding, her soul torn free by Kikyo's arrow…
"--but that if you had to, you'd choose the present over me, you'd choose the present. In doing so, you rejected what I told you and you choose that fake over me!" She finished with a scowl, turning and letting an arrow fly at Kagome.
" Kagome!!" Inu-Yasha yelled, remembering what had happened last time. His eyes watched the arrow even as he lept to intercept it, knowing he'd be too late, too slow…
But Kagome saw it coming and anger filled her. Eyes narrowing, she held up her hands and purple power crackled around her. As the arrow passed through it, it hissed, then dissolved.
" I won't be fooled twice!" Kagome shouted, bringing her own bow up at Kikyo, but before she can fire, a figure stepped out of the tree's between them. Close, very close. It doesn't wear a baboon hood, its face clear. Sango gasped, stepping back. Then a resolved look appeared on her face.
" That's him," Sango whispered, reaching for her Boomerang. " That's Naraku…you bastard!" She finished by releasing the boomerang at the figure.
Easily side stepping it, it let a bolt of power loose at her and Sango fell, crumpled, to the ground. Miroku yelled, then unbound his air void, aiming it at the demon wearing a prince's form…
But unexpectedly Naraku turned towards Kikyo. Miroku stopped, his prayer beads half pulled off. Naraku then pulled his katana from his side and looked at Kikyo, showing no emotion on his face.
" You were told," he said, raising it above his head, " that you had only one chance. One chance to prove that I should let you keep what you have managed to retrieve and contain of your soul. I have no need to keep such a weak ally by my side."
He let the sword down, and even though it was out of reach, Kikyo was thrown back as if by a physical force. A column of energy surrounded her, her hair flying skywards, her cloths rippling as her clay body cracked. As small stress lines appeared, they glowed white, and, as the cracks grew larger, small white balls of energy appeared, and then escaped into the dark.
" Kikyo!!" Inu-Yasha screamed, stepping foreword, but was held back by a whisper from Sango.
" No," she whispered. " She's gone. Don't risk your life for someone who's already dead."
" Bitch!" He snarled, looking down at where she was rising to her feet, burns apparent on her arms. " How can you know?! She's still a person! She's still alive!"
" No," Sango said, shaking her head, " she's not. She died and was reborn in Kagome. Don't take my advice lightly Inu-Yasha. Don't forget my brother."
Inu-Yasha stared, and then turned to look at Kagome. Her eyes were fixed on Kikyo, on herself in a way, her hands raised to her mouth. Suddenly she gasped and he turned to look at Naraku. The demon had approached the column where Kikyo stood and plunged his arm into the woman's body, causing it to crumble slowly, clay and bone falling towards the earth. Kikyo managed one ironic smile and whispered something that seemed to amuse the insane demon before she closed her eyes and surrendered. Retrieving his arm, he looked at a large white soul contained in his hands.
" I believe I'll keep this," he said, showing emotion for the first time in the form of a small smile.
" No!" Kagome shouted, leaping foreword, Inu-Yasha leaping to intercept her.
" Kagome! What?!"
" My soul!" She strained against Inu-Yasha's arms. " He's taking part of my---"
She fainted
*Flash*
Kagome walked to school, her bag on her back, her eyes skyward.
I don't remember what happened afterwards. Sango said Inu-Yasha turned to take on Naraku, that he was mad with anger. She said that Naraku had laughed, that he said that he'd be back for the rest of it…later. That's the only reason that Inu-Yasha allowed me to come back. Why he almost insisted on it. Because Naraku can't come through the well…
She shuddered, a nasty feeling running through her. At that moment her friends ran up to her, and laughing, she was pulled into the school…
