It was approximately 2 hours before the sun was about to set, and Inuyasha was eager to set up camp. It wasn't until he ran off that Kagome saw the reason why. Kikyo's soul collectors were headed to the nearby village.
Kagome huffed and threw her sleeping bag on the ground.
'Stupid Inubaka! Why does he always go back to her! Am I not good enough? Is a mere copy not good enough for you!?'
While Kagome was in mid-thought, she didn't realize that the rest of the group was paying full attention to her; to see how she would react. Little did Kagome know that it wasn't only her friends that had their eyes on her. A fierce, evil presence was stalking her every move.
"Kagome, why don't we go to the hot springs for a bit? I think we have some things to talk about." Sango said.
"Sure, Sango. I would love that!" Kagome exclaimed.
The two women headed off into the distance, but not before the perverted monk got something out.
"You know, if you two gorgeous ladies need any help washing your backs, you can always come find me." Miroku winked.
"HENTAI!" Sango shouted as her hand connected to his right cheek.
"Lady Sango, it was only a joke. I mean no harm." Miroku stated as he rubbed his raw cheek.
"Listen Monk! Don't come ANYWHERE near the hot springs! If you do, I'll stick my hiraikotsu so far up your ass, it comes out of your wind tunnel!" She shouted.
The two women continued to make their way up the hill towards the hot spring.
"You know Sango, he really only jokes because he likes to see your reaction. He's in love with you, and he see's that, he just wants you to see it as well." Kagome said.
The feeling of her friends in love made her happy, but also sad.
'Why can't I have what they have?' She wondered.
"You really think so, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Of course, I do!" Kagome replied.
The pair finally reached the hot springs. However, they weren't the only ones there. Before the two could even sit their things down, they saw a horrid sight before their eyes.
There was Inuyasha pounding into Kikyo, right next to the hot spring. Her moans were loud enough for a demon within ten miles to hear. Inuyasha's groans did not go unnoticed by the two women.
Both Kagome and Sango placed their hands up to their mouths. Shock ran up both of their spines.
"Inuyasa, *pant* when are you going to *pant* get rid of my reincarnation? *pant*" Kikyo huffed.
"What do you mean *grunt* get rid of her? *grunt*" He replied.
"*pant* While she is still alive *pant* I can not fully live *pant* she has the other half of my soul." She replied.
"Kikyo, I will get you the other half of your soul." Inuyasha roared as his seed spilled into Kikyo, while his fangs pierced into Kikyo's shoulder, marking her as his mate.
Kagome couldn't bare to see the rest.
"Sango, I'm leaving. Tell Inuyasha that he can shove it. I'm done being his little play thing." Kagome said through short sobs.
As she ran in the opposite direction of Inuyasha, the dark presence had a laugh. His plan was working, and boy was it going smoothly.
"Kagura, prepare a room right next to mine. We will have a guest shortly." Naraku ordered.
