Inuyasha stared at Kiyoshi. The young half-demon was sleeping with a peaceful look on his face. But he knew, that Kiyoshi's dream was anything but peaceful. Why did Kiyoshi have that curse? Those curses can only be created when there's darkness born from rage and anger. Did Kiyoshi see something that would give him enough rage to make the curse appear by the caster? That was hard to say. The only one that would know this would be Kiyoshi and the one who gave him the curse.

But that would be hard to do. No one can get any kind of answers from him. He locks himself out from everyone. Even himself.

Kagome sat next to him saying "I'm sure that he'll be okay. He's strong Inuyasha. Like you. He's a strong boy..."

Inuyasha sighed. Maybe some time away could help him forget about all this. Inuyasha stared at Kagome and said "maybe Kiyoshi would want to be alone. I know I would if that happened to me..."

Kagome nodded. She shook Kiyoshi to tell him that her and Inuyasha would be going to her home for a bit. Kiyoshi slowly opened his eyes. But, they were void of life. Empty. Kagome stared at him in shock. How can any ones eyes be like that? Inuyasha calmly said "the curse of anger and darkness consumes the host of their light. It's only caused by deep rage. When the host of the curse has calmed down he won't respond to anything for a few days. Sometimes weeks if it hasn't happened often. So, I think everyone could use a good rest."

Kagome nodded. She walked over to Sango and Miroku. Telling them that she and Inuyasha would go back to her world for a few days to restock on a few things. They were running out anyway. And told them to look after Kiyoshi for a while. Since he didn't seem like he would wake up any time soon. Kagome didn't know why she didn't want to leave him. But, she knew that she had too. They needed food and medical supplies. Those were things that they needed. And Kiyoshi could last a few days on the remaining supplies that they have.

Miroku and Sango both agreed to look after Kiyoshi. And Shippou would try to help in anyway that he can. Kagome smiled at her friends and left with Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango both sighed. They were left behind once again since they were the only ones, including Shippou and Kirara that cannot enter through the well. They still couldn't think on how Inuyasha is the only one, next to Kagome that can enter the well. They always felt left out. That they couldn't see what kind of world that Kagome lives in. It always was depressing.

Miroku calmly asked "so, how long do you think for Kiyoshi to wake up and be... well himself?"

Sango shrugged as she said "not sure. The curse isn't something to take lightly. He should be awake in the time that Inuyasha had said. But, how does he know so much about it? He's never been under a curse like this... Has he?"

"Donno. He would know. But we can't ask him since he's gone with Kagome to her world. The only thing that we can do is wait for them to return. That's all we can do Sango. That's all we can do." Calmly answered Miroku.

Kiyoshi slowly started to open his eyes. Looking around the room as he tried to clear his sleep clouded vision, he wondered where he was. His senses were dull. So he couldn't tell who was in the hut with him. At least, not at the moment. When his senses were starting to clear, he noticed that he was asleep for a while. A few days at least. But, where was everyone? None of this was making any kind of sense. Slowly, he sat up wincing in pain. Everything hurt. Guess that's what happens when you lie on the floor for days without moving. That could be the reason.

Then, Kiyoshi saw Shippou walking into the room with a cup of water. When Shippou stared at the young half-demon he said "Kiyoshi! Your awake!" Shippou dropped the water and hugged the half-demon with joy. Kiyoshi gave a small smile as he tried to calm down the young fox. He had forgotten that Shippou was a child in this time. And now, he just had to make sure that Shippou lived too... His memories were changing all the time now. Soon, he might finally be able to change his family's fate from happening. But, that was the hardest thing to do.

Kiyoshi took a deep breath as he said "Shippou, where is everyone?"

"Miroku and Sango are outside helping Kaede. Inuyasha and Kagome went to Kagome's home days ago." Shippou calmly answered.

Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed for a bit. They left to her time? Oh no... Kiyoshi sighed. Well, he knew that it was going to happen sooner or later. But, not sooner. This... was so unfair. Kiyoshi slowly rose to his feet and started to walk out the door. Carrying Shippou on the way. The fox was lighter then he appeared. Kiyoshi just mentally shrugged and walked out the door. Once he did, he thought he saw something. Something in the trees. But... It couldn't be could it? It looked like... Kagome? No, Kagome never wore that clothing... Kikyo. Was that her name? Yeah, she was looking for Inuyasha...

Kiyoshi put Shippou down saying "Shippou, stay here. I'll be back." Before the fox could respond, he started to run into the forest. Kikyo was the one person that should learn to leave what's best left alone. She shouldn't try to get Inuyasha to leave Kagome anymore. So, Kiyoshi did the only thing he could do. He had to pretend to be Inuyasha. He looked like him enough. Straightening his hair, making sure that it looked more like Inuyasha's in both shape and length. He deepened his voice a bit and slowly started to walk toward her.

Kikyo stared at Kiyoshi saying "Inuyasha?"

Kiyoshi calmly said in his very Inuyasha-like voice "Kikyo, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. I heard that you were having a hard time dealing with the season. So, I came to help you." Kikyo said with a smile.

'She must be out of it... She doesn't sense that I'm not Inuyasha...'"I'm sorry Kikyo. But, I've taken Kagome as my mate. I'll never love you." Kiyoshi said.

Kikyo's smile disappeared as she glared at Kiyoshi. Screaming "how dare you! Your soul is mine Inuyasha! And, so is your life!" She grabbed her bow and arrows. Getting ready to kill Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi though, was faster. He grabbed her hands and pinned her to the tree. He wasn't going to spare her. He could sense the hate. The anger. The misery. All of it was flowing off of her in waves. He could feel it.

"Your soul is earth bound. You cannot rest till your freed from this prison you call a body. Kikyo, you don't belong here. And Inuyasha doesn't belong to you." Kiyoshi said as he stopped pretending to be Inuyasha.

Kikyo gasped as she said "your...? Who are you!?"

"My name... It's Kiyoshi. And, your time's up Kikyo. May you rest in peace by the face of the one that you claimed to love..." Then, Kiyoshi slashed her body. Freeing her soul. He knew that it was cruel. But, like the old saying goes. 'You Sometimes Have To Be Cruel To Be Kind'. Kiyoshi started to walk away. Fixing his hair to the way it was. Spiky and made sure that the fake blood that covered his claws was gone. He didn't want Inuyasha knowing that he killed Kikyo. Not yet... Not yet...

okay, sorry that this isn't much of an update but I'm running out of ideas for this story, if I can't think of an idea, or anyone can't think of one, then I'll put this on hold again and start working on something else.
