I'm sorry to say this to all Kikyo-haters, but she's in this story. Don't worry; I'll make her suffer. Mwahahahahaha…Ahem…Anyway, on to the story.

Chapter 2: Kikyo Goes Through the Portal

After about an hour after Inuyasha and Kagome went through the Bone Eater's Well, they met Miroku and Sango in a campsite where they found different kinds of mystical portals. They were all the same ones that they went through when they traveled to Outworld.

"So there are more portals here?" asked Kagome.

"Yes," said Miroku. "All of these portals will lead to a different location in the future Outworld."

"Is that fact or theory?" asked Shippo.

"That…" said Miroku, "is a theory."

"We need facts here, Miroku!" said an irritated Inuyasha. "I'm tired of your theories!"

Sango said, "Sometimes theories can be turned into facts, such as that we predict a theory that Sesshomaru may be in love with a human."

And when I predicted a theory when Sesshomaru escorted Maria into her room and came inside, Shippo thought, so maybe they…Ah! What the heck am I thinking? I must have a dirty mind…

"Are you okay, Shippo?" Kagome asked him.

"Yeah, yeah," Shippo said quickly.

"Why do you look all red?" asked Inuyasha.

"Are you sick?" said Kagome in her sweet voice.

She's very beautiful when she talks in a kind way, Inuyasha thought. That kind of reminds me of my mother.

"I'm not sick!" said Shippo. "I just…feel a little dizzy."

"Oh, poor thing," said Kagome. "You lie down for a bit. I'm going to get some water to make dinner."

After Kagome left, she stopped by a lake to get the water. Then she thought she saw someone enter the forest with evil energy. She left the bucket behind and entered the forest to find out. She did see someone. It was Kikyo.

Kikyo stood in front of the portal that Inuyasha and the gang went through during their first time in Outworld. She said, "So this is the portal Naraku went through. You can't keep running from anyone, especially me."

Naraku? Kagome thought to herself. Naraku built this portal and the other portals? Inuyasha may be right about him being a coward.

After a few seconds, the portal and its magic took in Kikyo. Kagome ran back to the lake, grabbed the bucket of water, and hurried back to the camp.

"Why were you in such a rush, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"It's Kikyo!" said Kagome. "The portal in the forest took Kikyo into Outworld. She believed Naraku may've gone through there."

"Naraku!" growled Inuyasha. "Do you think he created those portals?"

"Possibly," said Kagome. "I sensed different kinds of Shikon Jewel shards within each portal."

"Definitely the work of Naraku," said Miroku. Kirara agreed with a growl.

"If we're going to find Naraku, we need to think of a strategy to trap him," said Sango.

"The only thing I could think of is going through different portals," said Shippo.

"That could be a good idea," said Miroku, "but we'll wait until morning. We need to regain our strength."

Like I said, if you are a Kikyo-hater, I will make her suffer…I mean, R&R please! Gotta watch out for those Kikyo-lovers. They could be a little feisty.
