Authoress: Thank you for all of your wonderful reviews! (Hugs them all)
Inu Yasha: Cheerful aren't you?
Authoress: Yep! ^_^
Miroku: I wanna hug! ^__^
*hits him with the bunt end of her katana*
Miroku: @_@ OW!
"How could she do this to me?" Inu Yasha yelled.
His eyes were filled with hurt; holding back tears that just wanted to pour out.
He looked at the view of the smaller trees, as he re-positioned himself on the branch. (Yep he's sitting in a tree ^_^)
{Damn that Sesshomaru for taking her away from me! How could she betray me like that?}He thought.
He jumped off the branch, and with his hanyou abilities, he jumped from tree to tree.
Flashbacks of Kikyo and the fight plagued his mind, as he tried to concentrate on where he was going.
{Flash Back}
"You would do this Sesshomaru; first the Tetsusaiga, and now Kikyo?! "Inu Yasha said.
"Well, I guess I've got two things now." Sesshomaru smirked.
"Just give it up Inu Yasha. She doesn't love you anymore."
After the fight ended, they both only a few scratches and bruises. Kikyo ran over to Sesshomaru, and hugged him. (Right in front of Inu Yasha! 0_0)
{End Flash Back}
"Damn Sesshomaru, curse Kikyo. I hate you both!" He yelled, as he disappeared into the trees.
Suddenly, he realized that something was missing.
"My scabbard!" He said. "I must have left it near the well."
He finally reached his destination. (The well)
30 minutes later, he still couldn't find it.
"Damn, I can't find the scabbard anywhere!" He said as he continued to look around.
Suddenly over at the well, was a faint blue column of light.
It frightened him just a little bit, but he didn't show it; he was ready for anything.
And out of the blue luminous light, appeared a woman.
She was a strange looking woman at that.
She had the skin of bronze and black hair with silver highlights that seemed to glow from the moonlight. What shocked him the most was her eyes. They were the color of a tiger's eye. (You know the stone?)
Her clothes were not of his time either. It seemed to be centuries old, and very aristocratic. She wore a white kimono with blue cherry blossoms printed on it. Even though her appearance was strange, she was quite attractive; even to Inu Yasha.
{Who the hell is she? And what is she?} Inu Yasha thought.
"Who are you?" He called.
But there was no answer. Annoyed, he called out again.
"I said who are you?"
"That is no concern of yours." She answered.
Then she disappeared and reappeared behind him.
Inu Yasha jumped back, not knowing what was going on.
"What do you want with me?" He asked.
"Only to tell you, that you have not been deceived by the one called Kikyo." She answered.
"How do you know who Kikyo is?" He yelled.
The mysterious woman smiled. "Again that is not a concern of yours."
"Oh really?" He said. "In case you didn't notice wench, IT IS!"
Suddenly he lunged at her with full force, only to be paralyzed by the woman's electric shock.
"I wasn't finished Inu Yasha!" She scolded.
"W-who are you? H-how do you know my name?" He whispered painfully.
The woman then appeared closer to him.
"Kimiko." She whispered.
As a gentle breeze danced by, she disappeared; releasing Inu Yasha.
He got up, and searched around for her. There was nothing; laying on the bone-eaters well, was an authentic hair ornament. He picked it up, and studied it. He noticed that on the top of the ornament, was the Japanese character "noble child". Wanting to show Miroku, he placed it in side his obi belt.
{I've got to show Miroku this!} He thought.
"Inu Yasha!" A voice called from the woods.
It was Kagome.
"I knew I would find you here." She said running towards him.
"Kagome." Inu Yasha said.
"Why did you leave us like that?" She asked.
"What do you think? I got angry." He answered, as he turned away from her and folded his arms.
"Well, you didn't have to just run off like that; we would have needed you in case we were attacked." She explained.
"Well, you have Miroku and Sango with you?" He asked sarcastically. "Yeah but what if something really powerful attacked us? Like Sesshomaru?" She asked.
{Uh oh, I shouldn't have said that.} She thought.
"Don't you ever say that name in front of me again, do you hear me!" He yelled.
"I-I'm sorry Inu Yasha. I didn't mean to." Kagome said shyly.
There was no answer. Kagome
Now it was Kagome's turn to turn her back to him. She felt so guilty for what had just happened. She didn't know what to say next.
"I'm sorry Kagome.I just need time alone right now." He said.
"I know.maybe I should leave."
Inu Yasha spun around, and grabbed her hand.
"No don't leave! I was about to go back to the village anyway." He said.
"Besides, I think I need the company right now."
Kagome smiled, now knowing that he was feeling just a little bit better.
Meanwhile.
Kikyo wandered through the woods, trying to get back to the village, when she heard strange noises behind her. She turned around, to see that it was a small fox.
"Well hello there." She said kneeling down to it.
The fox jerked back, and barred its little teeth. (Awww how cute ^_^) Kikyo smiled, even though she was quite aware that she might be in danger; if this was a cub, then the mother must be near by.
So to avoid any confrontation, she got to her feet and walked away; knowing that the fox would follow; and sure enough, it did. (Awww that's so cute! ^o^) The fox followed Kikyo all the way down to her favorite spot on the hill overlooking the village, where she decided to take a break.
She sat down in the short grass, and waited for the little fox to approach her. The little fox licked its paw, and laid down inches away from her.
{Poor thing, it must have been separated from its mother} She thought.
{If I leave it here unattended, it will surely die. It can't take care of itself yet.}
While the little fox slept, Kikyo overlooked the village; her village. She missed her home so much, knowing that she could never return. (That's because she's dead -_- The villagers would freak out if they saw her.) Could she really blame Inu Yasha for her death, even though it was Naraku's doing? And why did Naraku want to kill her? Was it for the Shikon No Tama? Those questions made her think about that fateful day, no matter how painful it was.
A gentle breeze blew by, entangling itself in her long black hair, causing her snap out of her deep thinking.
She glanced back at the sleeping fox, not knowing what to do next. She wanted to go find Inu Yasha right away, and explain to him about what had happened today; but how could she do that, when he's angry at her?
{The villagers are asleep, so it would be alright.} She thought.
She got to her feet, and carefully positioned the small fox in her arms, and headed towards the village.
{Back in the village}
{Crack!!!}
"Hentai!" Sango yelled, as she clobbered the perverted monk once again with her gigantic boomerang.
Inu Yasha and Kagome looked at the two expectedly; obviously knowing that when those two were alone, Miroku would always try to hit on Sango; only to be hit by Sango. (He never learns ^_^)
"What did he do now Sango?" Kagome asked sounding a bit annoyed.
"That pervert! He tried to grope me again!" She yelled, as she walked over towards Kagome. As the two talked about the incident, Inu Yasha walked over towards the big hole in the ground.
"You'll never learn will you Miroku?" Inu Yasha asked sarcastically, as he pulled the injured monk out of the ground.
"Huh? Oh guess not." He joked. He dusted himself off, and sat back down.
"You know me; no matter where you put it, it was quite rewarding." He added.
"You're sick do you know that?" Inu Yasha asked.
{Silence}
"Well anyway, what can you tell me about this?" He asked, as he pulled the hair ornament out of his obi belt.
Miroku studied it carefully, and ran his finger over the Japanese character.
"Well, it seems to be an old hair ornament; probably around the Ashikaga Shogun era." Miroku said.
"It also seems to belong to someone of nobility; you see the Japanese character on the top of the ornament, says "noble child". He added.
"Kimiko." Inu Yasha said under his breath.
"Are you familiar with the name Kimiko?" He asked.
"Kimiko was the wife of a shogun." Miroku answered.
"Where did you find this?" He asked studying the ornament once more.
"The well." Inu Yasha answered.
"Why don't you let me hold it for a while, so I can study it some more; see if I can get a better answer." He suggested.
"Better yet, why don't I take it?" Kagome suggested while overhearing their conversation.
"I don't trust you Miroku. You might sell it. So what I'll do is take it to the museum in my realm, and ask questions." She added.
Miroku nodded reluctantly, knowing that she was right; and he was going to sell it too. (*laughing like crazy*)
As Miroku handed the ornament over to Kagome, Inu Yasha picked up a scent.a very familiar scent at that. It sounded like someone was coming.
Inu Yasha stood up defensively, and turned to the group. "You guys stay here! I don't want anyone getting hurt! He said. This one is between it and me!"
The two did exactly what he told them to do, and watched the hanyou disappear into the darkness.
Inu Yasha ran through the woods faster than he could probably go; the scent was getting stronger and stronger, until it lead him to.the tree. The old sacred tree that had him pinned for 50 years. This was ominous; no one was there, and surely he wasn't still there either. Suddenly, as he turned around to leave, there was Kikyo!
Authoress: Ooooo a cliff hanger! ^o^
Kagome: Aw man, I wanted to find out what happenes next!
Shippo: Me toooo *Starts crying*
Inu Yasha: QUIT YOUR BAWLING!!!
Authoress: Stay turned for the next chapter "Battle to the finish; love me forever"
Miroku: Oooo nice title.
Inu Yasha: Cheerful aren't you?
Authoress: Yep! ^_^
Miroku: I wanna hug! ^__^
