Kikyo stirred. The last thing she remembered was being forcefully taken somewhere. She sat up on the grass and was comforted by Inu-Yasha's presence a few feet a away.

"…****ed *****." Kikyo smiled. It was like 50 years ago. Inu-Yasha used to curse just about anyone under his breathe, anyone except her. It was kind of sweet in a sense. However, when she caught the next phrase, the smile froze.

"That ***** caused all this for Kagome. Me too, but she was the one to entice me. Kikyo," Inu-Yasha spat at the last word. Kikyo froze. So, Inu-Yasha had been talking about her all along! But…what did she do to deserve this?

However, the moment Inu-Yasha thought about Kagome's blood being collected, he knew. He'd have to hand over the Tetsusaiga. He didn't care if he got hurt or if this was one of Naraku's trap, he'll have to hand it over. With that, he started to head for the toad demon's scent. He heard a slight rustle behind him and turned to find Kikyo was up behind him.

"Inu-Yasha…" He ignored her. Nothing but thoughts of Kagome can penetrate his mind now.

***

He finally caught up to the demon.

"Hey, bastard!" The demon turned.

"I'll give you the Tetsusaiga if you give me Kagome." He flinched to see dried blood on both her arms and the demon corking the last vial.

"No. This girl is of higher value than I thought."

"What?"

"Give me the dead miko(priestess) and the sword and you can have her back."

"What? So she's worth more when she's injured?"

"Ungrateful wretch," Inu-Yasha thought to himself.

"Well, then, go and leave her if you don't want her so much," the toad replied, smirking.

"You can have the sword, but, for the miko, [he spat] I don't know whether she will." Before the toad demon could say anything, Kikyo walked over to him. Afterall, Inu-Yasha already showed that he didn't care, so why bother? She's used to torture, not to mentioned dieing once already. All this for Inu-Yasha and she's still not worth that girl to him! The toad smiled and threw Kagome at him. But, upon doing so, send forth a high blast of energy. Without the Tetsusaiga for a shield, the hanyou will be well injured, if not dead, and the girl…well, after that much blood was taken and so many bruises, not to mention full HUMAN blood, there wasn't much life in her anyway. He snickered and left with his new captive.

LeaMarie F. Rocket-Are you a Kouga fan? Because, as you know, Kouga didn't kidnap Kagome, not this time anyway *wink* *HINT* but he'll show up.

I don't know, but is the common consent:

~Kagome & Inu-Yasha ; Kikyo=dead

or

~Kagome & Kouga, or someone besides Inu-Yasha ; Inu-Yasha & Kikyo

review me your opinion. I'm getting the feeling that not many Kikyo fans are out there reading this, but just to make sure! Review!

Anyway, I can make Sango and Miroku, Rin and Sess come in, but the story centers around Inu+K+K however, maybe a sequel. But don't worry, they won't disappear.

Sorry- spelled vial wrong in the last chapter. *sigh*
