"InuYasha! Stop right there and listen to me!"
InuYasha groaned. "I don't want to hear it!" he yelled against Kagome and with the speed of a demon he stormed out of Kaede's little home.
"InuYasha…" Kagome sighed. She knew what was going on in his mind. 'InuYasha, are you still thinking about Kikyou?'
The little fox demon Shippou ran towards the future-miko and hopped onto her left shoulder. "That selfish guy InuYasha," he commented, like he always did, whenever he had the chance to berate his surrogate father. He crossed his arms and shook his head in disapproval.
Kagome chuckled, giving the infant-demon a small loving pet on his head. "I won't blame him for loving Kikyou, Shippou," she said. "Kikyou had meant a lot to InuYasha, when everyone else had turned their back on him." She gave one more sigh. "It's just that… He knows Kikyou cannot be trusted."
It had been not too long ago that Kikyou had come to steal another Shikon shard. The shard that they had found in the grave of InuYasha's father. Back then Kagome had thought her eyes were lying to her. She had been convinced that Kikyou had changed. She had been sure that Kikyou was on their side. But Kikyou had come and stolen the shard that they had tried so hard to keep out of Naraku's grasp.
'InuYasha…' thought Kagome. 'Why do you trust her?'
UNDER THE BRANCHES OF THE SACRED TREE:
'Kikyou…'
As her face came to his min, InuYasha gave a small sigh and jumped on one of the Sacred God Tree's branches. He sat down and made himself comfortable on the old Tree of Ages.
'The red thread of fate once broken can never be rejoined…'
InuYasha gave a sad smile as he thought about those words. They contained bittersweet memories of him and Kikyou. Memories that he would never forget. A sigh escaped his lips. He pulled up the right sleeve from his red kimono and stared intently at his arm.
'InuYasha… are you willing to weave a new thread of fate with me?'
Carved into his arm was a long thin scar. A burning scar made by Kikyou right after she had said those words. He still remembered how Kikyou had pulled out a knife and pierced it through his skin drawing blood. Right afterwards, she had gone straight to Kagome and had stolen the Shikon shard from her.
That scar in his arm was a proof of their newfound fate in each other. It was a red thread of fate that she had weaved with him, based on blood. He was certain of her words; she had been honest to him.
'Are you trying to save the world all by yourself again, Kikyou?' thought InuYasha. The sad smile on his face slowly made place for bright one. 'Kikyou, I trust you now.'
