5: Almost Losing Kagome
The next morning Shippo awoke to hear noises in the next room. He got to his feet and went over to the next room. His eyes suddenly lit up, but he seemed to be in shock. Though he could believe what he saw, Kagome and Inu Yasha kissing. This being very strange to him he ran in Miroku.

"Miroku. You have to come and see this." he whispered

"What is it Shippo?" yawning

"Something is going on with Kagome and Inu Yasha."

"What?"

Shippo lead him out into the hall right outside the guest room. Miroku peered in and saw that Kagome was dress and Inu Yasha was tying his kimono. He turned to Shippo and had a weird look on his face.

"This is what you dragged me out of bed for?"

"I swear something was going on in there."

Soon Kagome came out and Inu Yasha followed and they left the village. While they were walking Shippo stopped to get a drink of water, while the others ate some lunch.
Kagome suddenly had a funny feeling someone was watching her, but turned to see nothing.

When they finished, Kagome kept looking back and saw no one, behind her. Miroku looked over at Kagome feeling concerned.

"Everything ok Kagome?" he asked

"No, I have the weirdest feeling someone is watching me. I can't sense anyone, but I just have this huntch." she replied

Foot steps could be heard coming from behind the them. Suddenly a person ran by and knocked Kagome to the ground. The figure then bound Kagome to a tree and the others stood looking around to see who the figure was.

"It's Kikyo!" Shippo shouted

"Inu Yasha, Kagome's soul is mine!" she smiled

"No Kagome!" he cried

Kikyo took out a dagger and was reqady to stab Kagome's heart, but Inu Yasha stopped her. He had a fierce look in his eyes and he held the Tetsiga in his hands.
Kikyo loaded her bow and arrow and looked prepared to shoot.

"Good bye Kikyo!" he cried and stapped Kiyko in the heart.

Her body fell to the ground and all the souls that she had collected to sustain her body left her body. She began to cry, but then her body broke, since she was made of clay. Inu Yasha ran to Kagome who was unconcious and took her into his arms.

"Kagome wake up." he called

"Looks like she took a pretty hard fall to the ground." Miroku commented; "Let's lay her down here and wrap her head up.

Miroku took out more bandages from Kagome's pack and wrapped up her head. After he finished Shippo brought back firewood and a fire was made. That night Kagome still lay unconcious while Miroku, Shippo, and Inu Yasha watched over her.

In the middle of the night Kagome opened her eyes and saw Inu Yasha laying beside her. She leaned over and kissed his head and he turned to see her smiling at him. He took her into his arms and just held her.

"I was scared today. I thought that I had lost you when Kikyo appeared, but she's gone now. I destroyed her with the Tetisga and he clay body broke and vanished into the air." he whispered.

"You can't lose me yet. We still have so many of the shards to find, plus the one from Sesshourmoru." she replied

"I'm glad you're ok, but we'll be more careful tomorrow."
