Kagome crashed through bushes, tears clouding her brown eyes as she continued to call despratly for Inuhaku.

Finally she fell to her knees in dispair. "I better go home," she sobbed, giving in to defeat. With one last

look at the dark forest around her, she added quietly, "I hope he's okay."

Go back?! Inuyasha's silver ears perked up at the words. He wheeled around quickly to beat her back to the

well.

~*Eleswhere in the Feudal Era*~

Kikyou studied the man in front of her with somewhat morbid curiosity. He had passed out. She walked forward

and opened his mouth slightly. She sniffed. "Sake," Kikyou spat disgustedly. She sighed and marched off to

find an herd to revive him. Even she wouldn't leave an unconcious man in the rain.

When she returned, her patient was relieving himself of the contents of his stomache. Kikyou waited until

the vomiting had subsided, then gave him the herbs. "Chew this."

Inuhaku chewed the plant obidiently, staring curiously at Kikyou as he did so. After it was ground almost

into a pulp, Kikyou ordered him to spit it out, which he did. After it was out of him mouth, Inuhaku felt

much better. "Cool," he said to himself, "no hangover." Then he turned to the miko in from of him. "Why do

you look like Kagome?"

The question was innocent enough, but Kikyou drew back, snarling at him. "Speak not that name to me! My

reincarnation has stolen my love from me!"

Even without the acohol, that took Inuhaku's brain a few seconds to comprehend. "Do you mean to tell me that

Kagome is your renicarnation?"

Kikyou nodded. "Yes. She is gone now though, back to where she came from."

"That's weird. I'm the reincarnation of Inuyasha."

Now it was Kikyou's turn to stare in shock.
