Midoriko?

******************************************************************************************

Kyoko sat by the camp fire an looked over at Inuyasha who sat with his arms crossed in a tree.

"Inuyasha?", asked Kyoko.

"Nani?", answered Inuyasha as he jumped off the tree to Kyoko.

"It's kinda boring so you wanna hear a legend my mother told me?", asked Kyoko.

"I guess", said Inuyasha staring at her.

"Well my mother told me this legend. She said that Midoriko before she sealed the jewel, she let a half of her soul out. So she could come back and destroy the jewel once and for all", said Kyoko looking up at Inuyasha who blinked at her story.

"Don't believe those old wives tales", said Inuyasha.

Kyoko frowned at him. Inuyasha then stared up at a mountain.

"See that mountain Kyoko?", asked Inuyasha.

"Uh-Huh", said Kyoko sliding up beside him.

"In that mountain demons fought till the last one was standing. They fought cause they were promised they would be free if they won. They did not know the winner would lose either way(A.N: You know that episode: Kikyo and Inuyasha into the miasma)", said Inuyasha looking over at her.

"A group of friends wandered into the mountain. One fought the demons and made his true love very unhappy. He declared he would not let one past love die, that he would protect her forever", said Inuyasha. Kyoko fell on his shoulder.

"Inuyasha you know how to punch a story till it bleeds", said Kyoko before falling asleep.

' Sleep my Kyoko', thought Inuyasha stroking her hair.

Kyoko woke up and rolled over to her side. She then started sliding off of something. She opened her eyes to see she was up a tree and on Inuyasha's lap. Kyoko gulped as she looked down, Inuyasha mumbled something and then reached for Kyoko. He clasped his hands in front of her body and put then under her breasts.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE", yelled Kyoko making Inuyasha grab his ears in pain.

"What's your problem?", growled Inuyasha.

"What were your hands doing near my breasts?", asked Kyoko blushing brightly.

"They were", said Inuyasha a bit confused.

"An why was I in a tree. I mean I fell asleep on the ground that's where I expect to be when I wake up", said Kyoko although she did like she woke up near Inuyasha.

"Well anyways we have to find Naraku and get the jewel half back", said Kyoko putting her bow and arrows on her back.

Inuyasha nodded and followed after Kyoko.

*Some where near Sango's dead village*

"Lady Magumi!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is two hanyous wandering in town. They seemed to be searching for something", said a villager.

"Hmmmmmmm", said Magumi.

"Inuyasha is it me or is everyone staring at us?", asked Kyoko looking over at Inuyasha.

"Let them stare", said Inuyasha.

"I sense no Jewel halves here. Inuyasha let's just go", said Kyoko as she made her way to the end of the village.

"Who are you?", asked a female voice.

Kyoko looked up to see a woman with teal colored hair. She wore an outfit like Midoriko's.

"Priestess I see", said the woman looking over at Kyoko.

Kyoko noticed that the woman had a sword and a bow.

"Hello", said Kyoko with a nervous smile.

"Get the hell out of our way", growled Inuyasha pushing past Kyoko and looking straight at Lady Magumi.

"Excuse Inuyasha. But we actually need to continue our search for the Shikon No Tama halves", said Kyoko as the necklace which held the shard protruded from her kimono.

"The Shikon No Tama is missing a half?", said Magumi.

"I really didn't catch your name", said Magumi looking over at Kyoko.

"Oh sorry. My name is Kyoko", said Kyoko lowering her head in respect.

"An this is Inuyasha", said Kyoko pointing over at Inuyasha.

"My name is Magumi I am priestess of this village", said Magumi staring at Kyoko and the Shikon No Tama.

"Now if you'll excuse us and move so we could leave", said Kyoko walking forward when Magumi pushed them back.

"Who said you could leave", said Magumi.

"I say you move or I'll remove you head", growled Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha let me handle this", said Kyoko.

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and sat on the sidelines.

"Now Lady Magumi we've done no harm to this village so may we go?", asked Kyoko.

"Not with that Shikon No Tama", said Magumi taking her sword out and poking the Sacred Jewel.

Kyoko jumped back and pulled out her bow.

"Why do you need the Shikon No Tama?", asked Kyoko pulling a arrow from her quiver.

"I must destroy it once and for all", said Magumi.

'Wait a minute she looks like the deceased miko Midoriko', thought Kyoko.

"You're the reincarnation of Midoriko", said Kyoko as a fierce wind picked up.

"Maybe I am. I will answer your questions if you beat me in this dual", said Magumi readying her sword.

'Oh hell. If she is Midoriko's reincarnation she can extract souls' , thought Kyoko as she drew her bow.
