Before she stood up, Kagome allowed herself to choke up gallons of cold air. She was still coughing and gasping for breath, when a small sigh of relief escaped her throat as she ran her fingers through her hair.
'What the…? I know what that was;
that was the power of a miko spell.
Could it possibly be Kikyo that caused
It? Even if it were, why would she be
Needing to use the spell of a Miko?'
Kagome lifted herself from the silt stricken floor. Her eyes scanned towards the new scene beyond the will and a quick flash flew through the air.
'An arrow. Kikyo must be the one
who shot the arrow and the one who
used the Miko spell. What is going on?'
Kagome didn't fail to grab fastly onto the now green vine. As she was scaling the wall, she heard two more arrows whisk above her head. When she almost reached the top, Kagome heard a very familiar voice.
"Damn you bitch. Your spirit is evil now Kikyo, stay away from the well."
Kagome crept in the shadow that the well cast off and watched the fight eagerly; Inuyasha easily dodged another of Kikyo's powerful arrows. The wind from the arrow grazed his hair and Inuyasha jumped up to a nearby tree to escape another powerful attack. Kagome watched in silence as Inuyasha dodged every one of Kikyo's attacks.
'Why doesn't he attack Kikyo? Is it
possible that he can still love her?
After all of the things that she has done?
And why am I just hiding here?
I should be helping Inuyasha from her?'
Just as Kagome was about to jump up and figure out what was going on, her questions were answered. She listened intently to what Kikyo was saying.
"No Inuyasha. I will not allow that wench to pollute our lands anymore! She has come into our lives without being invited and she is the one who has caused all of this death and suffering. Because, she shattered the Shikon no Tama!"
"Kikyo, don't do this!", Inuyasha's voice rang out. "It was an accident with what happened to the Jewel of Four Souls. The only way we can save our world from destruction is with her help."
Kikyo's expression changed from a flicker of anger to a see of rage. She shot the arrow in her bow then reached back and pulled two more from her quiver. Blinded by her anger, Kikyo didn't notice the woman slowly creeping up behind her. Inuyasha saw Kagome behind Kikyo and almost got killed while an arrow tore his Kimono.
