Kagome started as she heard Kikyo's voice. She whirled around seeing the beautiful priestesses laughing face. "Kikyo! What did you do to me?" she asked desperately. There was no telling what kind of spell the priestess did to the thorns. "Just a sleeping spell. Right now it is slowly filtering through you body and in minutes you will be asleep! Ha-ha-ha! I don't know how you escaped from the dungeon but that does not matter at all". Kagome could feel the effects of the spell slowly filter through her system, getting sleepier by the moment. But sheer curiosity would not let her succumb to the drowsiness in her head.
"Kikyo…why? What did I do to you?" she managed to mumble through her slowly numbing lips. Kikyo's faint smile drifted off her lips as she answered the younger girls' question. "Could it be that you really don't know?" Kagomes blank and curious face compelled her to go on. "I hate you…because you stole Inuyasha's heart and love from me! And because of you he no longer loves me!" Kikyo shouted, her lovely face contorted in anger. "No, no. He still loves you" Kagome argued groggily. In her weaken state she wasn't very convincing. "He may still love me but his heart belongs to you." Kagome had a moment of surprise and great escalation before she fell in to the black oblivion of unconsciousness.
Inuyasha tracked the sweet scent of Kagome through the forest, slowly heading toward the place where she waited. At least he hoped that she had waited for him. It seemed to him that every time the foolish mortal went of on her own, she always ended up in some kind of trouble. "Damn wench! Don't you know how to stay in one place?" he muttered aloud. Suddenly, another scent reached his nose, a scent that was somehow familiar… Inuyasha stilled as he saw Kikyo carrying a dead looking Kagome through a break in the forest and his heart started to beat faster. 'Kikyo?' he thought. Strangely the sight of the priestess did not stir his heart as it once had but the only feelings he now had were ones of guilt. Guilty because he could not protect her, guilty that he couldn't love her and because he couldn't trust her. At the sight of Kagome lying limply in the priestess's arms and smelling her blood, it turned his heart upside down and sent the blood rushing through his body. 'What did she do to you Kagome?'. Worried and filled with dread, the half demon followed the dead priestess as she slowly left the forest.
Arriving at the gray stone castle, Kikyo carried the unconscious Kagome up the stares and dumped her not so softly onto a lavishly decorated bed. Kikyo stared at the peaceful face of the girl and wondered why Inuyasha had fallen in love with her. It wasn't her looks because she was a copy of her. Deciding not to worry about it, she left the room, confident that she wouldn't wake any time soon. She locked the door just in case and grabbed a small, toad-like demon servant from the hall as it hurried to do its daily work. "When she wakes, notify me but do not open the door for her. She is my priority, not the Masters. Make sure she is not disturbed. Do you understand?" "Y-yes m'lady" the demon answered in terror, bowing. "Good" Kikyo said and abandoning her post by the door she went in search for the Master.
A N: So what do ya think? Who is Kikyo calling the Master and why is it important that he be kept away from Kag-chan? Find out in the next chapter and please review!!
