After following Kikyou's demon servants for 30 minutes, they finally meant up with their master. Kikyou....
Inuyasha decided to play it safe and instead of running up to her and flipping out, he would watch her from a tree until she noticed him. Her back was to him. The demons entangled themselves around Kikyou and she absorbed the souls that they brought her. Inuyasha watched this and thought of that time when Kikyou was brought back to life by that witch who had taken Kagome's soul.
"Thank you friends. I feel much better. You can go now. You'll know when I need you again," said Kikyou. And with that the demons flew off. Inuyasha watched them as they flew right through the very tree he was hiding out on.
"Wooaha.....wo...." The demons almost caused Inuyasha to fall out of his hiding spot but he used the Tetsaiga as his support to hold him up. Kikyou heard the noise he was making.
"Eh? Who goes?!" asked Kikyou.
Knowing that he was found out, Inuyasha decided to approach her. "Why am I hiding anyway? Its Kikyou after all. I need to see her." he thought. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree. Kikyou stared at him. She was wearing a little smile.
"Inuyasha? What are you donig here?" she asked.
Inuyasha blushed with embarrassment.
"Uhh I............" He was speechless.
"How strange. I don't know what to say to her. Maybe because its been so long since I last saw her. Kikyou....you look just like I remember but are you....." thought Inuyasha as he stared at Kikyou. He lost his train of thought when he watched her hair blow in the wind like a autumn leave. She didn't look like she was overjoyed that he was there. She just looked a little surprised. but happy too.
"Inuyasha, can you speak?"
Inuyasha shook his head and regained his composher. "Yes I can."
"Well then, can you tell me why you have come here. Did you follow my soul gatherers? If so, did you come because you were worried about me or because you wanted the Shikon No Tama?"
"Actually I......" Inuyasha become speechless again. He just stared at her again.
Kikyou looked at him confused.
Suddenly there was a loud roar. A huge demon jumped out! It was about 20ft and looked like a bear [not 1 of those cute bears you see at the Zoo but a vicious one from the wild]. Its eyes gleamed red and its fangs were saturated with saliva.
"My name is koewa [made up name] and I sence the sacred jewel. The one that has the power to make demons even stronger then they already are. GIVE IT TO ME!!!" ordered the monster.
Inuyasha looked at Kikyou. [When all the pieces of the jewel were put back together, and Naraku was finished, Inuyasha and Kagome thought it would be best for Kikyou to be the one to hold on to it.] Kikyou stared at the beast sternly and pulled out her bow.
"I'm afraid that is out of the questioned Koewa. This jewel will not fall into the hands of monsters like you. Not again!" Kikyou shot her arrow at the monsters right arm. Koewa's arm desintagrated and he cried out in pain. "My aim isn't what it used to be......" thought Kikyou.
" Dim witted human! You will pay for that!!!!" roared the monster. He opened his mouth and hundreds of hairy and slimy spiders flunged out his mouth right at Kikyou. She reached into her arrow holder thing [lol] and reached for another arrow but there were none left.
"Dammit!" Kikyou thought. The ghastly insects lunged at Kikyou very fast! But Inuyasha moved right in front of Kikyou as fast as he could. He thrusted the Tetsaiga into the ground and made a barrier to block the spiders from Kikyou. Then he jumped up and kicked Koewa in his face.
"Leave Kikyou alone!" he shouted.
Once Koewa's vision was impared, from being kicked so hard in the face, Inuyasha scratched him with his razorshop claws. Koewa bent over in pain and said:
"This isn't over! I'll be back for the jewel!"
"Your not getting away that easy coward!" proclaimed Inuyasha as he began to chase after Koewa.
"Inuyasha don't," said Kikyou. She walked to Inuyasha and looked him in his eyes.
"But Kikyou, he was going to......I mean, he wanted to kill you and steal the jewel! I just cant let him get away with that!"
"The important thing is that he didn't. Thanks to you, Inuyasha, the jewel is safe."
Kikyou smiled at him.
"But you heard him, he'll be back."
"I doubt that. He knows that he will never get it. He just said that in hopes that we'd be scared."
"Poor fool. So Kikyou, are you alright? Were you hurt?" asked Inuyasha concerned. He looked Kikyou over to make sure she was ok.
"Im fine Inuyasha."
"Thank goodness."
"Inuyasha, you have yet to answer my question," said Kikyou as she sat down on a hill that over looked a gorgeous sunset.
"What question would that be ?"
"Why did you come to me?"
Inuyasha looked away from Kikyou. How was he supposed to answer her? Should he tell her the truth? That he jsut wanted to be with her? What would she say? Did she want to be with him? Inyuasha pondered all these questions.
