(Last time)
"Thank you so much." And before she could stop herself she turned around and gave him the biggest hug ever. Once she realized what she was doing she let go as fast as possible and blushed a madding red.
"I'm… I'm sorry" she said quickly. She looked into his eyes and was surprised at what she saw.
'His… his eyes… they're not showing that he's angry! He looks like he liked it!' she thought to herself blushing all the more.
Chapter four.
Carefully placing his mask back in place the regal inu youkai lord strode from the room without so much as another word. Stunned, Kagome stayed in her place for a moment before picking up Shippo and following Sesshoumaru out into the hall.
She was less than surprised when she came to the hall and found he had disappeared. Feeling something strange overwhelm her she slowly sat on the floor. Setting the fox kit down she focused on her breathing until the feeling passed. Looking up she was met by worried and awed emerald orbs.
"Shippo?" Kagome asked, curious to the boy's reaction, "I'm fine, don't worry. I was just a little dizzy from everything that's happened is all." She soothed him.
"No, Kagome… it's not that." He replied shifting his weight from paw to paw, "Sesshoumaru told us not to say anything about it but you looked…. And now you're back to…" he sighed.
Confused, the raven haired girl climbed to her feet and re-entered the room. Looking in the mirror she was greeted by her reflection staring back at her. She looked at her brown eyes, black hair, and perfectly human looking self. She gazed at Shippo strangely for a moment. 'He probably had some strange experience when he died…' Her heart twisted painfully at the reminder that Inuyasha had killed him, because of her no less. Shippo was just as much of her little brother as Souta was and the thought that Inuyasha could do something so… She gasped. 'Souta! The well! Inuyasha can get through the well!' she thought franticly.
Scooping the kit into her arms she yelled for Sesshoumaru – Sango – Miroku – anyone that could help her get back to the village and back to the dry well that was her portal home.
Rushing down the halls and around a corner she ran face first into someone.
"Sango!" she called to the older woman on the ground in front of her.

"Hello, young one." said the low voice of the man that showed himself from the shadows. Long, blue hair fell to his shoulders, his black cloak covering most of his figure from view. Piercing and hard blue eyes stared at the woman before him from a chiseled face of marble. His ears were pointed as were his fangs and claws. Behind him, translucent blue-white wings shifted on his back. At first glance many a human had mistaken him for a demon. Perhaps he was, in a since. After all there was not much of a difference between his kind and demons, aside from their powers, of course.
The woman before him bowed. "I have done as you said master Takashin. The girl and the humans are within the walls of the western stronghold." The female stated her eyes staying downcast. After all a mortal was not meant to look upon the beauty of the gods, why would their half blood children be any different? This creature- an angel he called himself- and the others of his kind were in fact the product of the relationships of gods in disguise and mortal women.
"Good, now I can report that the demon prince of the west is holding them against their will… It won't be long and he will be dead." he stated as he turned to leave.
"My lord?" the woman called out coolly, "What of the humans? And the girl?"
Takashin shrugged off the question, "In exchange for you to have your life you were to help me. Your part is over. Do not worry what will happen to them." He turned once more to exit the room, "Oh and do get rid of that thing for me? Then you are free to go." He threw over his shoulder. Sensing more than seeing her nod, he disappeared.
Walking calmly to what she was told to get rid of, she quickly wrapped the chained creature in the soul catchers she was so generously given by her angel master. "He said to get rid of you but I may yet still have some use for you. After all, you are so easy to control… Inuyasha."
"Let me go! Kikyo! How could you do this? Kikyo!" his shrill voice filled the air as they were lifted up by the catchers to places unknown.
