The scent
As they neared Inuyasha's scent Kirara got more threatening and dropped to the ground growling. Shippo to had noticed a strange feeling an hid behind Kirara. Kagome and Sango instantly yelled " Kirara! Shippo! What's wrong ?" Miroku had took this time to slide off Kirara. " There is a strong barrier here and has a lot of magic radiating off it!" He exclaimed throwing a ofukue(?) into the woods ahead of them. No sooner thrown did the paper catch fire and a bright pinkish white light emitted causing everyone to take a step back.
Kagome found a partial voice stumbling to find words. "Miroku…..what….how…….. did Inuyasha …go through it?"
Sango answered her in a shy curious voice " I think so, Kagome: But Miroku how did he get through?"
Miroku sighed "This must be the place that made him run off."
Shippo still hidden piped in "IT IS! This place reeks of earth and death!"
Kagome gasped 'It cant be. Kikyo?' Miroku and Sango also caught the same thought, yet Sango was the first to speak. "Miroku, can it be……..?"
Miroku nodded dumbfounded. "Yes, that would explain the magic, Inuyasha running off and him being able to pass by it."
Shippo was confused now. "What are you talking about?"
Kagome stopped them from answering with her yells, " Miroku, Are you saying that Inuyasha is in there with the 'source' of this smell!" more a statement then question.
Miroku wearily answered. " I'm not fully certain, Kagome, but from the evidence, I'd have to say yes."
That was all needed to be said for Kagome to lose it. "YOU KNOW WHAT SHE"LL DO TO HIM IF WE DON'T HELP HIM!"
Sango now concerned for Inuyasha and Kagome look to the monk, " She's right, Miroku. We have to get through the barrier."
Shippo now had all the clues for his answer but his product to the equation shocked him to no ends. "Kikyo!?!?! Are you saying Inuyasha is in there with KIKYO!"
Miroku, Sango, and Kagome ignored him and moved to the edge of the barrier examining it.
