Last time:

…She watched as the light disappeared waiting to see if he were by some chance still alive, but what she saw was beyond the unexpected it was…

Present:

… lying on the ground in front of me, where the Hanyou had just stood only a minute before, Inuyasha….

I could only stare at the motionless figure before me, it couldn't be Inuyasha.

"no this is defiantly a mistake" I told myself as I clenched my fists, a few tears began to fall from my eyes but I blinked them away" it has to be…." No there's no mistake its Inuyasha, he must have been planning on killing me this whole time, waiting for the right moment… The tears were falling freely now and I couldn't stop them. Taking out my bow and getting ready to strike I stood there with the tip of the arrow at his throat. I stood there for what seemed like a lifetime then put the arrow down. He was as good as dead anyway, if I just leave him here he has little chance of surviving… and if he does survive and I do see him again…. I will kill him.

I turned away from him and had just started walking away when I heard her…

"you did the right thing Kagome" I turned back, it was Kikyou there was no doubt about it with her long black hair and her beautiful face she knew her in an instant.

"I will take care of him now" what did Kikyou mean by taking care of him?, what if she got rid of him? No it was none of her concern, she didn't need this woman anymore anyway, she had done her part… I watched Kikyou swing him onto her shoulder effortlessly. Then without even meaning to do it, I said it quickly and without hesitation.

"Kikyou let me take care of him, I want to question him so please ,can I take him with me?" she stared at me then dropped him to the floor.

"hes yours, do with him as you please" she said then without a word Kikyou was gone. I rushed over to Inuyasha and tried to get one of his arms over my shoulders, but I couldn't he was too heavy. I would have to drag him home.

Of course pulling along Inuyasha was very difficult, and getting him up the stairs was even harder, but in the end I managed it. As I put him down I noticed something strange about him, his features were changing, his black hair turning white, his fingernails growing longer and become claws and his eyes tinted with gold. Now I understand, he is a half demon and that necklace was meant for purification, which is why instead of dying he reverted to this human form, now that the spell was wearing off he was returning to his original form. Though he would probably be out of it for a couple of days. Which was good really since I need some time to sort things out, to think about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it….

Miroku:

"Kikyou? What are you doing here?" he asked as he opened the door for her.

"I do not wish to come in, I just wanted to tell you that she decided not to kill him, once the necklace was around his neck and she saw who he was" she said.

"why come and tell me?" asked Miroku.

"he is your friend isn't he? I thought you would like to know that he was safe, though I would have stepped in if anything had happened I thought I would be best if you knew."

"so where is he then?" said Miroku

"with Kagome, she took him home with her" he looked at her startled.

"are you sure that's wise Kikyou, you of all should know her hate of all demonic creatures, I don't think she'll be making any exceptions for Inuyasha " he replied

"you should trust her more Miroku, you were once good friends, so you should know that she will put into consideration the fact that he was her friend, that he was kind to her." She said softly, with a look of sadness upon her face.

"Kikyou…"

"I have to go now Miroku, may we speak again soon" then turning around she said "make sure you keep and eye on that girl your keeping, her aura is….. disturbing she is not to be trusted , good bye Miroku" she said waving a hand as she walked into the darkness.

"who was that? Miroku?" he turned around to see Sango standing behind him.

"oh her? She was just an old friend of mine, now come on lets get back inside before we catch cold" he said ushering her inside. "okay now, lets finally get to business, before we were interrupted you were asking me about Naruku yes?"

"oh right of course I was wondering if you could tell me all you know about him" she said looking a bit nervous.

"well Naruku is a half demon, very powerful, has a lot of influence in the demon world and is well known for his plans to find the jewel of four souls"

"the jewel of four souls?" she asked

"it is a legendary object which gives the user great power"

"Oh I see, so that's all you know?" she said looking disappointed

"well what were you expecting?"

"I don't know, some sort of way to defeat him?"

"I'm sorry Sango but there's nothing more I can say"

"Its okay I understand, it was my own fault for getting my hopes so high"

Kagome:

Why am I doing this? This is all Kikyou's fault if she hadn't shown up I would have just left him, I couldn't just let her take my prize away. Though this could prove to be useful, I'll make sure that I get every little piece of information that I can off of him.

"then I'll get rid of him!" I shouted aloud sounding sure and confident, though on the inside I felt uncertain I knew what I had to do. This was not about my feelings, if I let him go, he would just kill more humans… Though I never had seen him hurt any human other than myself…

"NO just because you've never seen him doing anything harmful doesn't mean he's innocent " I said to myself shaking my had. I really had to get a grip. All demons are the same and when the time comes I will defiantly get rid of him.
