Kagome's POV

"But what about Kikyo?" my conscious screamed.

"Uh. Good question." I thought.

My smile soon turned into a frown as I pondered.

"Then why do you go after Kikyo?" I said softly.

Inuyahsa froze. Sighing he answered "I go to Kikyo only because I want to see her soul rest in peace. I never meant to hurt you in the process."

"Oh" I said smiling once again.

Meanwhile… (Narrator's POV)

"Sooo…" Sango said.

"What do you do?" Sakura said finishing the sentence.

"I'm a demon slayer and he's a (cough)lecher(cough) monk." she replied innocently with a smile as she pointed to Miroku.

Returning the smile, Sakura said "I'm training to become a priestess."

"Really? So is Lady Kagome." Miroku stated.

A noise came from the forest and Kagome and Inuyasha emerged.

"So what have I missed?" Kagome asked.

"Sakura's a priestess-in-training." said Shippo.

"Cool!"

"Yep."

"So how did you get here?"

"Well I kinda fell into a river."

"A river?"

"Yeah."

"I fell into an old well"

"Wow, at least you didn't have to swim"

"So did you have any pets?"

"Yes I do. One gray cat named Diana."

"Me too. I have a cat named Buyo."

"And we have a cat demon friend."

"Sweeet"

"Have you come across any unfriendly demons?"

"Definitely, there was a serpent woman and a wind demon. What was her name? Ki..Kik.."

"Kagura?"

"No"

"Kik..Kikyo! Lady Kikyo!"

"KIKYO?!" everyone (except Sakura & Kirara) cried.

"Yeah but I killed both of them."

"Does she look anything like Kagome?" Inuyasha inquired.

"Nope"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay then, so why were the jewels attracted to each other?" Kagome asked curiously.

"There is a legend about the Dragon's Tear and the Shikon Jewel." Miroku said.

"Go on.." everyone encouraged.

"The legend says that Midoriko had a twin sister, Kumiko, with spiritual powers that matched her own. During the war, a dragon fell in love with Kumiko and when his clan found out, they devised a plan. Calling all the demons together, they formed a monster quite similar to the one that killed Midoriko herself. In the dead of the night, they killed Kumiko, who with the last of her strength purified them. When the dragon was informed of her death, his tears and sorrow plagued the earth.. One of his tears landed on her heart, which produced a red gleam. The gleam combined with the tear to form a jewel that disappeared into the body. It has been told ever since that the Dragon's Tear and the Shikon jewels are twins… is anyone following"

The reply was a mixture of "huh?s, "yeah"s, and a "what?."

Miroku sighed "My conclusion is that Sakura is the reincarnation of Kumiko, But this could only be so if the Dragon's tear was inside of Sakura. Was it?"

"It was" replied Sakura.

A rustle was heard.

"I sense jewel shards. A lot of them." Kagome said as she sprang to her feet.

"Serpent demon." Inuyasha confirmed.

As if on cue, the demon slithered out revealing six shards were embedded in its head. It sprang at Inuyasha who quickly killed it with the Tetsusaiga. Another serpent demon slithered out, and another, and another, each carried six Shikon shards. One leapt at Miroku and Sango, one attacked Sakura and Inuyasha, while the last went after Kagome. Two of the demons were instantaneously killed by Miroku's wind tunnel. The last demon's fangs poisoned Kagome the instant before it died at the hands (AN: Should I say claws?) of Inuyasha.

The poison began to take effect as the group collected the shards. It invaded Kagome's veins and tissue causing her to slump onto the ground. She was followed soon after by Sakura, since they were connected by the jewels. They both fell unconscious as the poison infected them.

"Kagome! Sakura!" Shippo yelled when they fell from the world of consciousness.

Sango examined them and found the wounds on Kagome's body.

"Kagome's been poisoned. Sakura is only unconscious because of the bond between the jewels." she concluded.

Inuyasha leapt into action. Cutting himself, he let his blood fall into Kagome's mouth.

"My blood should clean the poison from her body." He said simply when the others looked at him in bewilderment.

Soon darkness overcame light and the gang made camp. Unbeknownst to them, Sakura and Kagome were beginning to change…
