"Inu-Yasha, which plants are good for healing wounds? I forgot what Sango had taught me," Kagome said. Inu-Yasha snorted.
"Typical." Kagome glared at him.
"Still, Inu-Yasha. I was only trying to…" But Inu-Yasha was no longer listening. He had suddenly caught Kikyo's scent in the air.
"Kikyo?" he thought to himself. Suddenly a faint scream came through the air. Kagome, however, without a demon's sense of hearing, did not hear. Inu-Yasha, on the other hand, headed straight for the scream, where he was sure he'd find Kikyo.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked. Hearing nothing but silence, she turned around to find the fleeting image of a piece of cloth, disappearing into the woods.
"Now what? Where's he going? And without telling me!" Kagome thought to herself. She got on her bike and biked after him.

"Was that Kikyo's scream? I was so sure I heard a scream. Kikyo…" Inu-Yasha thought, not realizing that he had just left Kagome by herself in the woods. Suddenly, he came to an abrupt stop. Kikyo lay on the ground with a demon a few feet away, obviously going to devour her. As it advanced towards its fallen prey, Inu-Yasha's anger bursted out.
"Get your filthy hands OFF OF HER!!!!!!!!! Don't you DARE touch her!" He pulled the Tetsusaiga out of its scabbard and slashed at the demon, killing it with one blow.
"I-Inu-Yasha?" Kikyo whispered. Inu-Yasha turned around. He helped her up.
"W-What are you doing here? How'd you know I'd be here?"
"I always know," he answered tenderly. Then, without saying anything he kissed her.

"Huh, huh, huh…oh, why did he have to run so fast!?" Kagome thought to herself as she stood near a tree to catch her breathe, after pedaling her feet off.
"In---" Kagome started to scream, planning on giving him a few hard hits on the head when the scene before her stopped her. She saw Kikyo and Inu-Yasha locked together in an embrace, enjoying a kiss together. She lost her voice, staring at the picture in front of her. Finally she could bear it no longer. She turned and rode off on her bike. But, she didn't realize that Kikyo had saw her standing near the tree.

After they broke from their embrace, Kikyo questioned Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha? You know that girl you travel with? My re-incarnation?" Kikyo asked.
"Yeah? Oh my gosh!! I left her at the clearing all by herself!" He turned hastily to leave, but Kikyo caught his arm. "Huh? What?"
"That girl…do you love her?" Kikyo asked quietly, her eyes piercing Inu-Yasha's amber glass eyes.
"W-What do you mean?"
"Are you in love with her?" Kikyo repeated, faking the outward tranquility, while inside her heart was beating furiously.
"Kikyo," Inu-Yasha turned back, "I'm no different from 50 years ago. I love you."
"Typical." Kagome glared at him.
"Still, Inu-Yasha. I was only trying to…" But Inu-Yasha was no longer listening. He had suddenly caught Kikyo's scent in the air.
