I'll protect you even if it's from Kikyo

Kagome closed the door as she watched the man leave. Her heart was racing, but why? Some how deep in side she thought she knew him or had seen him somewhere before but where? Maybe from her past? Or a dream?

The house was small, as soon as you walked in the door, if you turned right then there was a door that lead to Kaede's room, if you go straight in and turn left then there was the living room which was also kagome's room. Walking into the living turn right and go down the small hallway then turn left, that's the kitchen. And that was their home, well really it was Kaede's home and kagome was the temporary that would be living as soon as she was back on her feet.

Kagome walked into Kaede's room. Lately Kaede was getting sleepy a lot. It worried kagome a little scene old people were well…old kagome was afraid Kaede would go to sleep and not wake up again. Kaede was the only person kagome had that she knew of. Kagome checked on her constantly.

"Lady Kaede?" she whispered

Kaede sleepy opened her eyes, she smile softly to the worried kagome sitting before her.

"I'm sorry to wake you Kaede"

"Tis quiet alright my dear young one, I awoke when the door bell rang, to whom was at the door?"

"It was a delivery man with some arrows and scene I did not recall you telling me you order arrows I sent him away saying our neighbor next door might have because people are always sending he's crap here"

"Ye were mistaken child" Kaede said calmly

The next few days the lived of what was left of their meat, when the 5th day had come there was no more food left. Kaede called young kagome to her side.

"ye must go and fetch the arrows, tis how I hunt for the food we eat"

Kaede sat up and reached into her pocket, and then she placed 50 dollars into kagome's hand.

"Kaede that is more than enough! It's too much for arrows" explained kagome

"Hai child I know, I just thought ye might want to get ye some better clothing then what ye is wearing, go out have fun and then bring home the arrows"

"Thank you lady Kaede I won't spend it all, I promise!" kagome said bowing her head as she left the room

Kagome was really excited this would be the first time in weeks that she would be out side of this house. But at the same time she was a little scared. Kagome made sure to stuff a map into her torn, burned, blood stained jeans pocket. Her shirt was burned away at her midriff. Showing she was all bandaged up under neither her clothing. She had no shoes on; she had been bare foot sense lady Kaede had found her in the forest a few weeks back. She didn't have a clue how she got burned so madly, why she could remember her past or why she was with out shoes when she was found.

"lady Kaede I'll be back soon!" kagome called as she left "I won't take long so if you need anything done just wait till I turn"

No answer came; kagome assumed Kaede was asleep again. Kagome opened the front door and stepped out side. It was a beautiful warm summer's day. This was perfect for bare feet thank god!

Kagome walked slowly down the road heading towards up town. She studied every thing as she pasted. Kagome ran her fingers threw her hair, half expecting it to be longer, but then she remembered.

(Flash back)

"Ye hair is burned and is in horrible shape we'll half to cut it off"

"No!" screamed kagome "I don't want to be bald!" she put on her puppy dog face

"Will ye calm thy self? I'll save what I can"

And she began to cut kagome's long raven colored hair off. Kagome sat there watching the pieces fall to the floor. When Kaede was done, kagome ran to a mirror. Surprisingly it was cute! It fell just above her shoulders. She turned to Kaede and hugged her

"THANK YOU LADY KAEDE... OUCH!" she clutched her stomach as her burns busted open from her straining them to much

"Ye must calm down kagome!"

They wrapped her up and she laid down with Kaede for a good nap.

(End flash back)

Kagome looked around suddenly realizing she was already up town.

'Wow that was fast' she thought

The first store kagome saw was called 'Kikyo's bows and arrows' kagome ran to it she would buy the arrows first and then buy what she could with the left over money. Kagome pushed the door open and walked inside. It was a small store she had to say, even smaller than Kaede's home. Arrows and bows were hung all over the walls and floors. Kagome walked to the front counter were a girl stood smiling. Kagome smiled back at her.

"Kikyo I wasn't expecting you to be back so soon, I love what you've done with your hair but may I ask why you a dressed in such a way? I thought you hate every thing but that white and red kimono you always wear" the girl said to kagome

Kagome looked behind her to see if there was someone behind her but no one was there.

"I'm…. I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for some one else my name is kagome not Kikyo"

The girl busted out laughing "sure you are ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… if not Kikyo then I'm not Ana, nice try"

Kagome started to think this girl was crazy. The door behind her opened, and in stepped Kikyo followed by Inuyasha. The girl called Ana stopped laughing straight away, instead her mouth dropped. Two Kikyo's? What a nightmare one was bad but two was worse.

"K-Kikyo? But I thought you" she said pointing to kagome "but your… but she looks" Ana was very confused by that moment "I'm going on my lunch break I think I'm going nuts" with that Ana walked out the door.

Inuyasha eyes went wide, that was her that was the girl the other day. Here she was before him. he's heart began to race.

Kagome turned to see that it was the man from before. Her heart was pounding.

Kikyo could have sworn that she was looking into a mirror…well….for the face part anyway.

Inuyasha stepped forward "it's...it's you…"

"Uh…. Hi" she said in the same tone she had used when she first spoke to him

"State your name!" demanded Kikyo "and your business here"

"I'm here to buy some arrows" kagome said truthfully

Kikyo then realized that she was truly kagome.

'No way in hell am I going to give Inuyasha up I've got to think quick…… I know!'

In a flash Kikyo had grabbed a bow and four arrows

"Really?" said Kikyo in a sly but creepy tone "tell me who is the one who brought you back from the dead? YOU'RE THE WALKING ONE OF THE WALKING DEAD! I WILL RELIEVE YOU FROM THIS WORLD!"

'kagome this time you will really die!'

"Kikyo STOP" Inuyasha yelled jumping in front of kagome so that if Kikyo did attack then she would have to hit him as well "Kikyo stop"

"Move out of the way!" Kikyo snapped "that's kagome you fool! She's been brought back to life, I'm saving her, and no one did this for me! I know what it's like to be dead but alive, stand aside Inuyasha"

Kagome was terrified what did this Kikyo have against her? Why did Kikyo calm her to be the walking dead? though her fear was great, kagome some how felt safe behind this guy that was called Inuyasha.
