Chapter Four.

Unaware Plans and Minor Set Backs.

Inuyasha sprinted through the forest quickly as the familiar stench of Naraku illed his rose. He quickly slid as he made a sharp turn through the forest. He jumped from the ground bouncing off a tree branch gliding him into the sky. His hair flew as the breeze hit him gently. He grunted as a peck of sunlight rose from the east. he landed himself on a tall tree branch as he glanced behind him to notice the sun was coming up. The rays filled the sky turning it to a pink, orangeish color. The moon was still visible as the suns light have not made it invisible to the naked eye. He left out a soft sigh of the day he remembers so clearly. The day Kikyo asked him about being human with her. Inuyasha wondered if this was the right thing to do. He was walking into Narakus trap. He knew it was a trap as well. He would risk it all for her. Even though she was dead. I can't have her departing this world with him there taking her life once again as history repeats itself.

"Kikyo..."

Her named slipped from his lips as he landed in front of the doors. A army of dead soldiers lied there on the ground murdered. Blood everywhere, scattered, fallen swords.

"Well, Well look what the dead priestess brought in." Kagura chuckled as she was leaning again a wall waving her fan over herself getting a soft breeze.

"Kagura..." Inuyasha said harshly.

"Where is Kikyo!?"

Kagura sighed and rolled her pink eyes.

"You know Inuyasha..that woman one day is going to ge-"

Kagura swung her fan up as it opened fully revealing the pink decorations on it. "--GET YOU KILLED! DANCE OF THE DEAD." She shouted as the fallen solders raised from the ground. Inuyasha jumped back growling through his white teeth clenched tightly together. Inuyasha put his hand on his sword handle and drew it with one swing.

"BRING IT ON YOU NASTY HAG!"

Kikyo's brown eyes were narrowed as she watched out through a castle window silently. Her pale skin cold as ice.

"How does it feel, Kikyo?"

Kikyo turned her head halfway as a smirked appeared across her lips.

"What? To see that he came? I suppose I would be lying if I said I was surprised."

Naraku starred at Kikyo as she continued to speak.

"Inuyasha loves me. I know that, He always will. Kagome may be melting his heart...But I am the one holding that in the palm of my hand...He'll do anything for me...anything."

Naraku laughed under his breath.

"Except my dear, Is he won't go to hell with you..As long as Kagome and I are alive he won't even consider having eternal damnation for you..Yet you are so eager too."

Kikyo stood there quietly as she bothered to not respond to Naraku's comment. Which was true.

"Aw, Don't be mad just cause your reincarnation is winning.." Naraku teased which was slightly unexpected.

"We shall see about that..won't we?"

Kagome stood outside of the hut as she sensed the presence of Naraku's aura which was somewhat far away. She sighed as she faced the direction in which Inuyasha had pranced off to.

"Maybe I should go home..All he does if chase after the stupid clay pot.." She muttered kicking a small stone across the dirt. Kagome began to walk around trying to keep herself distracted as she waited for the half demon to return to her. She was growing impatient with each passing moment. She strolled down a pathway into the forest deciding to pick some herbs for the villagers. Kaede had taught her what was what.

"All I need is longer hair and a priestess robe.." She bitterly said through her teeth as she pulled a herb from the ground quickly.

"Ah, A scared jewel shard I sense! What a tasty young girl..."

Kagome's eyes widened as she turned her body to face what was behind her. Right behind her stood a tall big demon with ragged up clothes. It's eyes contained blood lust and it held a axe in its hand. There fangs showed as they smirked staring down at Kagome. She was speechless, not sure what to say. Not sure to even scream.

"W-What sacred jewel shards..?" She asked playing dumb.

"You posses them! I know you do. I sense it from you!" The demon yelled as it swung it's axe at Kagome who fell backwards trying to avoid the sharp weapon. She fell back onto the ground as a small cut appeared on her upper arm. The blood leaked through her uniform sleeve.

"Your blood smells very good. I can't wait to EAT YOU."

Kagomes eyes went blank as she tried to think of what to do. She helped herself off the ground and began to run. A chain wrapped around her left ankle tightly as it pulled her down. She stumbled forward and fell to the ground hard. She winced in pain as she turned her head to look behind her. The demon had a consealed chain along there axe. Something she didn't take notice to. A pain surged through her chest as she clenched it tightly.

"Whats..going..on.." She whispered as a x-mark appeared on her shoulder forcing her to lose continous. Before she fell deeply she heard someone scream,

"KAGOOMMMMMMEEEEEEE!"

Inuyasha slided back as he dodged a arrow from a dead solider.

Damn it all, No matter how much I keep smashing they just keep coming. This is pointless!

Inuyasha thought as he punched one of them in the face making them fall back onto the ground. Inuyasha ran till he was a good distance away his back to the castle. He opened his mouth and screamed,

"WIND SCAR!"

The swords wind scar was released as it shot through into Kagura's direction. She smiled simply plucking a feather from her hair and jumping onto it before the wind scar reached her. She was safely in the air. She glanced down at Inuyasha and simply flew away. Inuyasha watched and as soon as he was gone he rushed in the direction of the caste. He flung the doors open to meet Kikyo standing there waiting for him.

"K-Kikyoo..Are you alright? Naraku hasn't harmed you has he..?"

"Kagome..she is not with you?"

Inuyasha flinched at the mention of Kagome's name as he quickly shook his head.

"No, She isn't."

Kikyo walked closer to Inuyasha making it so they were only a few feet apart. Inuyasha was quiet, He didn't now what to expect from her. She was always surprising him with things. Whether she is on his side or betraying him.

"Inuyasha..If you come to hell with me, I will let Kagome live!"

Inuyasha's golden eyes widened as he took a step back.

"I thought the curse could only be broken if you were to be killed?"

"Yes, But if I go to hell. That means I am leaving the land of the living. In a manner of speaking. Yes I will be dead. Please...Inuyasha..come with me..Leave this stupid world, With these foolish humans and demons around us. Stop fighting for revenge...and the shikon jewel. It's pointless. Don't waste your life, With me you can spend it. Isn't that what we were going to do before. Live together happily!?" She asked her voice rising at the last part. Her voice shook slightly but not noticeable all that much. Inuyasha let a sigh slip his lips as he didn't know how to answer.

"Kikyo, I.."
