Chapter 6: Kikyo Returns

As they continued their journey, with Kouga… A bright arrow, pink light around it rose from the sky. It was a Sacred Arrow.

"What's that?" Miroku cried.

"T-That's…" Sango started. Everyone looked at the cliff where the Sacred Arrow was shot. On the cliff was, Kikyo…

"KIKYO!" Inuyasha yelled out her name. Kagome thought, I thought Kikyo died already!

Inuyasha hesitated, Kagome hung her head sadly as she turned her head away. Kikyo appeared in front of Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Inuyasha and Kagome at once witn her Soul Collectors. "Inuyasha…" Kikyo said Inuyasha's name as he hesitated again.

"I thought you were dead Kikyo!" Inuyasha told her.

"That is not a subject of discussion!" Kikyo said back. Inuyasha noticed Kagome hanging her head eye's sad, Inuyasha's eyebrows went down in determination.

"So, Inuyasha. Who's the kids?" Kikyo asked Inuyasha as she eyed at Minoru and Mizuki scared hiding behind Inuyasha.

"Their… my kids…" Kikyo gasped at Inuyasha's answer as he hung his head bangs covering his eyes. "Me and … Kagome's."

Kagome gasped, Kikyo looked away, she left without another word. "Inuyasha…" Kagome said Inuyasha's name with a soft look on her face.

Inuyasha and their others continuted their journey in search for Tokibanmaru and Mokibanmaru. Kagome looked over to Inuyasha, Inuyasha still loved Kikyo,he hasn't gotten over her…

Kagome looked dizzy, she was swinging from side to side. No one noticed. I feel… feel… dizzy… Kagome fell to the ground Miroku, Sango and Shippo yelled out Kagome's name. Kagome's children ran to Kagome and yelled out, "Mommy! Mommy!"

Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome on the ground unconscious. "KAGOME!"

"We must get her to and Inn!" Sango told Inuyasha.

"Look! A village!" Shippo pointed to a village nearby as Inuyasha carried Kagome on his back. Hold on! Kagome!

As Inuyasha ran followed behind Miroku, Sango and Shippo on Kirara's (Is it Kilala or Kirara?) back they came across an old man and old women cropping some fields. "Excuse me! Help!" They both turned and looked at Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Kagome on Inuyasha's back.

"My name is Aikero, and this is my husband Yahiro." As they introduced themselves in their hut.

"I'm Miroku, and this is Sango and Shippo. Our children Rikka and Mikka. Over there is Inuyasha and Kagome, and their children Minoru and Mizuki."

"Ah, the ill one…" Yahiro spoke.

"Don't call Kagome the ill one!" Inuyasha bellowed.

"Inuyasha! Can't you be more polite than to sit 'ere crying your eye's out!" Shippo scolded.

"Why you… I am not crying stupid!" Inuyasha yelled at Shippo while hitting him on the head 3 times. Kagome slightly opened her eye's and whispered in a tiny voice.

"I-Inu… Yas-ha… S-Sit… Boy…" Inuyasha crashed through the ground growling.

"Argghhh…!"

Kikyo's waves of Soul collectors flew beside her as she walked through the forest. The howling wind blew beside her, sounds of soothing rustling as she walked. She came across a beautiful tree, Cherry blossoms bloomed in the fresh springtime as Kikyo sat in the branch that held her up, looking at the beautiful moon that glinted in the sky full of beautiful stars.

"The stars are beautiful, they shine freely like no other." Kikyo said as she admired the stars some more.

"Not like me, I'm just a dead soul who is wandering nowhere in this land, nothing to go to the other side."

"Kikyo?" A sudden voice rang in the air as Kikyo turned around to see Inuyasha! Inuyasha walked up to Kikyo a few meters away from her.

"Kikyo… W-Why are you here?" Inuyasha asked surprised. Kikyo lifted he head to the sky again.

"Just admiring how the stars are free to shine unlike me… I'm just a dead soul." Inuyasha gritted his teeth as Kikyo came down the tree.

Back in the village Kagome was feeling much better, "I'm going for a walk." She told the others as she tied her hair, her black hair slipped out a little so the ends are still tied, the front left out.

"Where are you going?" Miroku asked.

"Just for a walk around the forest."

"Be careful, Kagome. Look out for demons." Sango said.

"Yeah! Don't get killed!" Shippo jumped up and down as Kirara made an innocent sound. Kagome smiled.

"I'll be okay…"

Kagome went to Minoru an Mizuki, "I'll be back okay?" Mizuki held up a hair band.

"Mommy! I want to be just like you!" Mizuki shook around the headband around as Kagome took it and tied Mizuki's hair just like hers leaving out the front. Kagome walked out the door with her bow and arrows as she headed through the forest waving goodbye.

"Inuyasha… What do you think of me…?" Kikyo asked taking 5 steps forward towards Inuyasha.

"I… I… I…" Inuyasha stammered as Kagome headed towards Kikyo and Inuyasha are. When she realized Inuyahsa and Kikyo were up ahead, Kagome hid behind a tree peeking at them.

"What are they up to?" Kagome asked herself.

"I think of you as… a special person to me…" Kagome gasped. Kikyo walked in front of Inuyasha.

"I too, am the same…" Kikyo said softly as she embraced him.

"What about Kagome?"

"She's… Just a mere girl…" Inuyasha replied. A crack entered in Kagome's body as she formed tears in her eye's as her eye's squinted.

"Inuyasha… Am I just a… Mere girl…?" Inuyasha let go of Kikyo.

"Kagome?"

"Inuyasha… Sit…" Inuyasha crashed to the ground as he stood up stuggling. Kag9ome ran off with her last words.

"Goodbye… Inu…Yasha…" Inuyasha ran after her as Kagome weeped.
