Kagome tried wrenching her arm from InuYasha's grip, "InuYasha… I'll be fine! And if we have the entire jewel, that means we could destroy Naraku." She tried to smile, but her lip twitched, "My life is nothing compared to the many more that could be killed by Naraku." InuYasha loosened his grip on her, but still didn't let go. Sango called out, "You, what do you plan on doing to Kagome-chan?"

Kikyou noticed she was talking to her, and smiled crookedly, "It really isn't your business, but I suppose it won't matter. I don't have any idea why, but some demon wolf wants her. He promised me something I could not refuse, if I got Kagome for him. I have no use for this Jewel I stole from Naraku." InuYasha's jaw was gripped tight, as his eyes slit, "Kouga." Kikyou pushed the Jewel farther towards them, "So, do you want the jewel or not?" Miroqu and Sango looked at each other, and they each held a grim look on their faces. Kouga was not a very good person, but he wouldn't kill Kagome. They could after all just go rescue her after they had the jewel… They both understood what they would do, and Sango told Shippou. He seemed reluctant, but nodded.

Sango lifted her chin, and said proudly, "We will do it. As long as you swear that you will not harm Kagome." InuYasha turned towards Sango, "What?! Are you insane?! This is Wolf-breath we're talking about! We're not going to let her go with him!!" Sango ignored InuYasha, and looked on at Kikyou. Kikyou nodded. She would not be the one to harm her.

"I will swear that I will not harm Kagome." Kagome looked at InuYasha, and once again put on her biggest, brightest smile. But InuYasha could smell the fear and sadness radiating from her. He looked into her eyes, and said, "Kagome, are you sure that you want to do this?" Kagome took a deep breath, and nodded. Suddenly, InuYasha smelt another emotion on her. Was that…? Is that regret that encircled her as he let go of her arm?

She walked over to Sango, and gave her a hug, as well as Miroqu and Kirara. Shippou lunged at Kagome, and snuggled into her chest, "Kagome don't go!!" Kagome ruffled his hair, and kissed his head, "Don't worry about me Shippou! I'll be OK." She gently pried him off of her, and walked towards Kikyou. Kikyou grinned smugly, and tossed the jewel at InuYasha, who caught it in one hand. Kikyou's Soul Collectors grabbed Kagome and she had to hold back a yelp, and she was dragged into the air. InuYasha took a step forward, debating whether to grab her from the air, when she and Kikyou completely disappeared. The last thing he had to remember Kagome was the sad look on her face, and the scent of sorrow surrounding her.

A few silent hours later, the 5 companions made camp. Kirara only silently lay down, and Shippou curled up next to her, eyes puffy and red. Sango sighed, and pet Kirara's soft head. Miroqu stood by Sango, wishing he could make her feel better. InuYasha was even silent. He sat up in a tree, looking up at the sky. He frowned every once and a while, like he was thinking hard. He finally jumped down, and yelled, "Let's go get Kagome!!" With the Jewel complete, InuYasha KNEW he could take on that mangy wolf, and if he didn't hear Kagome's voice in the next 10 minutes, he was going to go insane. Even when Kagome went back to her time, he knew she was coming back soon, and that if he needed to, he only needed to jump down the well, and he could see her again.

"This," He thought to himself, "Is torture." Sango and Miroqu looked up, "InuYasha, not to be rude, but did you just now realize we could go and get Kagome?" Miroqu asked tentatively. InuYasha blushed, and glared, figuring out that Miroqu and Sango had known since they said yes "NO!! I just… Eh… Just thought that… Now would be a good time...Yeah, that's it." Sango rolled her eyes, and stood up, holding the sleeping kitsune. "Well then, I suppose we should find out where Kouga is hiding Kagome-chan, and take her back." InuYasha nodded, and Kirara changed into her huge demon form. Sango and Miroqu mounted her, and Shippou, still asleep, clung to Sango. InuYasha nodded, and they went in the direction of Kouga's mountains.

Kagome flinched, as they flew through the air, and the Soul Collectors dug into her flesh to keep her from falling. She looked over at Kikyou who just floated with a serene look on her face. She was now starting to dislike her quite a lot. She saw the Mountains where Kouga and his pack lived, and braced for them to descend, which they did not do. She looked around furtively, realizing it was a trap, and that Kikyou had no intention of taking her to Kouga's. "Oh no!" She thought, "What is she going to do to me!! Why does she want me, instead of the jewel?" She felt Kikyou looking at her, and she shivered as her cold stare dug into her, more that the Soul Collectors.

"I bet you are wondering why we are not going to the caves of the wolves, are you not?" Kagome nodded slightly, "Well, pathetic Miko, Kagome is going to Kouga, it's just not going to be YOU." Kagome tipped her head, "What do you mean?" Kikyou smirked, her plan not yet clear to Kagome. You will see soon little girl."

They landed a ways away from the mountains, in a little cave filled with pones and clay. Kagome's eyes widened with fear. The Soul Collectors pushed her into a coffin made of clay, watching as the top closed in around the girl. Kagome screamed, and tried to get out before she was shut in. She had no avail, as she was closed into the darkness. The last thing she heard before she blacked out was Kikyou's laugh. Suddenly sounding very much like her own.
