Chapter 10 Jealousy

InuYasha and Kagome walked through the forest in silence. 2 days have past since they left and both were unaware of the terrible incident that happened to Sango and Miroku. They had rested in the cave for the night and they are full of energy. As they walked, InuYasha noticed a familiar sign on the road:

Kingdom of Tama- 1kilometer south

Kingdom of Shikon- 5 kilometers north

"We're almost to the next kingdom Kagome." said InuYasha. He pointed to the sign.

"Is that where you live? In Tama?" asked Kagome looking confused.

"Heck no. I don't live in Tama. I live in Shikon like you do." replied InuYasha. Kagome nodded her head, unsure of how to respond.

'It seems that she has completely forgotten our first meeting.' thought InuYasha quietly. The truth is that Kagome had forgotten a lot of the details that she had learnt about InuYasha 7 years ago, after all she only got to see him once that time, so InuYasha couldn't really blame her.

As they continued walking, the sound of horses was heard. Kagome cowered behind InuYasha, both of them thinking the same thing. InuYasha stretched his arms out attempting to do all he could to protect Kagome. A carriage pulled up next to them.

"Lord InuYasha is that you?" asked a voice. The voice was female. It was a calm voice, filled with a mysterious aura. InuYasha knew in an instant who it was.

"Lady Kikyo, I'm surprised to see you. What are you doing in a place like this?"

Sango sat in the cave, the water from the river above dripping within each minute. She sat thinking, as the droplets fell. Drip drip drip.

The image of Mirokus figure walking deeper into the forest stuck vividly in her mind. Drip drip drip. She looked at the waterfall at the mouth of the cave. It was loud and noisy, yet somewhat comforting to Sango. She remembered her words to him:

"You've supported all of us. Now it's my turn to support everyone."

She hugged her knees closer to her chest. Her head rested on her arm as she did. "I can trust you," she said, "But can I trust myself?"

"I'm so glad you came Lady Kikyo!" exclaimed InuYasha, he and Kagome had rode in Lady Kikyos carriage to the manor that she was staying. She invited them to have tea with her, both InuYasha and Kagome were to wear new clothing and were to stay in her manor until Prince Kouga had left Shikon.

"Oh Lord InuYasha," said Kikyo, "It is my duty as a friend to help you with whatever you need." she smiled at him gently, "Ah, that goes for the Princess too." she turned to Kagome who was left out of the conversation.

"Thank you very much Lady Kikyo," said Kagome stiffly, she put a cheerful smile of her face to make up for it. "Oh no, it's my pleasure and honor to help you your highness." replied Kikyo, a vein poped out on her head, but both InuYasha and Kagome were unaware of it. "I am surprised that you could survive in the forest of Shikon for so long your highness." said Kikyo rather coldly. Kagome looked at her with a blunt face.

"But you should have seen Kagome!" cried InuYasha, unaware of the tension between them, "Kagome is really good in gathering firewood, cooking, and the like! She's amazing when it comes down to it!"

"Ah, please stop it's embarrassing!" cried Kagome, she buried her face in her hands while InuYasha kept praising her. Kikyo glared at how close the two of them are.

"Kagome?" she asked turning to InuYasha, "Since when did you start calling her so casually." InuYasha blushed.

"I apologize," he said blushing, "I meant Princess Kagome."

"It's alright Lord InuYasha, being away from civilization, it is difficult to keep up with change." replied Kagome, InuYasha agreed with her statement and they laughed together. Kikyo stared at them with a dark cloud in her eyes. That was when she made a secret vow to herself.

"Excuse me," she said "But I need to go and run an errand."

InuYasha and Kagome nodded. Kikyo left the two of them with a false grace.

Once in her chambers Kikyo sat at her desk, paper and a feather pen available to her. She took the pen and wrote two words on the paper:

She's here.

That night Kagome woke up to the sound of her name being called. She sat up in bed and looked around the chamber that she was given.

She heard the voice from outside. Kagome, Kagome. She slowly got out of bed and carefully opened the door and stepped into the hallway in her nightgown. Kagome, Kagome. The voice was male. "InuYasha?" whispered Kagome, "Is that you?" she continued to follow the voice. Kagome suddenly found herself outside of the manor, she was facing the forest area. Kagome squinted to see if there was anyone, she saw a figure in the darkness. "InuYasha?" she called out. A cold, tense feeling came over her. She prayed in her heart that it was InuYasha.

"Well well, Princess Kagome. How nice to see you, you still look as pretty as ever. Ready to come home with me, my beloved." Kagome froze.

"P-Prince Kouga?" stuttered Kagome. Hakkaku and Ginta came up behind and grabbed her.

"Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed, Prince Kouga gagged her so as not to attract any 'unnecessary' attention. They took her away immediately after bounding her.

A figure stood by the window with a sly grin. Their ivory black hair framing their face, which looked awfully like Kagomes.
