~I do not own Inuyasha in any way shape or form, so don't ask to borrow him anymore .!

"Kagome!" Cried out Inuyasha as he moved from his trace.

"You're never going to find her," replied Naraku smuggly from his tree branch.

Inuyasha had heard enough, he pounced up into the tree, knocking Naraku onto the ground.

Suddenly, Sango and Miroku came running into the clearing.

"Inuyasha, where's Kagome?" Sango asked with fear in her voice. Seeing Naraku on the ground she

tensed up getting ready to battle with him.

"Inuyasha, go get Kagome." Miroku said, "We can handle this one." he said as he ripped the cover

off his air void, sucking up Naraku. *sorry I'm not good at writing out battle scenes .*

Within a few minutes, Inuyasha was off on Kagome's scent, which was getting harder and harder to

smell as he went into the forest. After almost an hour of chasing after Kagome's scent, he had come

to a dead end. Kagome's scent had led up to a tree and dissapeared completely from there.

Inuyasha couldn't believe he had let Kagome slip from his hands, when he had promised he would

always protect her from everything. The defeated dog demon sat and howled out in sorrow.

~Meanwhile with Kagome and Kikyo~

"There." Kikyo said, pushing Kagome into a celler of sorts. "You'll be staying here wench, where

even your precious Inuyasha can't save you."

"Kikyo, wait, I need to talk to you.." Kagome said.

"Why should I answer to you?" Kikyo asked with a questioning tone of voice.

"Just please...let me ask you one thing before you leave me.." Kagome pleaded. "Did you ever truely

love Inuyasha?"
