Hi. This is my first fanfiction story! I hope you enjoy it! - kittenkode

Kagome popped her head up from the well. Oh no! Kagome thought, I'm late again! I hope InuYasha hasn't noticed. I mean he's so- " Finally! What took you so long, anyway?" InuYasha interrupted her thoughts and gave her a suspicious look. "Well I couldn't find any Ramon noodles and had to go to the store-," Kagome explained and stopped short. "Hey, were you waiting up there for me the whole time?" InuYasha blushed. "Of c-course n-not I-," InuYasha began when Sango entered the conversation. "That's all he ever does is sit in his tree and sulk while you're away." InuYasha blushed a deeper red and said, " I do NOT!" "Sure you don't," Sango said sarcastically. " Um… I'm starving Kagome! Can we eat now?" Shippo said, hopping onto Kagome's shoulder. " Did you hear the whole conversation?" InuYasha asked. "Maybe, Lover-boy," Shippo teased. InuYasha flinched and shouted, "That's it, Shippo!" He started chasing Shippo around. "Sit!" Kagome said patiently. InuYasha plummeted to the ground. Kagome whispered to Sango, " Let's get a fire going." "OK," Sango answered and went to get Miroku. Kagome went off in the opposite direction to get some water. Kagome went up to the stream and she could've sworn somebody was watching her every move. Frustrated, she looked behind her in the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened with surprise. There stood Kikyo, glaring at her. By now InuYasha has caught her scent, I'm sure of it. Kagome thought jealously. "What do you want Kikyo?" Kagome asked rather calmly. "I thought Naraku pushed you into the miasma and killed you." "He thought so, too. But I have a shard that kept me alive," Kikyo laughed. So she is the one with the last shard! I thought I sensed a jewel shard nearby, Kagome thought."So you're the one with the last shard," Kagome said, glaring back. "Yes, but you are foolish to think you can have it. It is the only thing that keeps me in this world. The only way I can take it out is if I draw out the soul of my recarnation, which brings me to why I'm here. To take what belongs to me, my soul!" Kikyo began laughing again and began to draw out Kagome's soul. "Face it you human child. I am a priestess, and I have a much greater power than yours, which means I can defeat Naraku with InuYasha! And I am much prettier than you are, and InuYasha loves me more than you!" Kikyo was succeeding in weakening Kagome's soul, thus drawing it out quicker and easier. But there was one piece of Kagome's soul that would not come out, and Kikyo knew she did not have much time before InuYasha came, so she

covered up her scent and left.
