Disclaimer: I do not own IY or the general plot of this story from Ranma ½.

Anyway, yes, I'm going to be adding my own twist to this story. But! You HAVE to read this chapter to get it! ^^ Sorry to all you Kikyou haters out there, but she's going to make an appearance in this chapter. So they may not be able to go the springs until probably chapter 2 or 3. O.k.?

On with the story!

Chapter 1: Kikyou Appears

'I'm glad Inu-Yasha actually agreed to come.' Kagome thought. She and the group decided to go back in her time to the hot springs early the next morning. Everyone was asleep in Kaede's hut instead of Inu-Yasha, who was sleeping outside in his favorite tree. 'Sigh.I can't go to sleep.' All of a sudden, she sees a light from the door way. 'Huh? What is that.? Is that a soul?!?'

*Inu-Yasha*

'Gawd.Stupid Kagome.Stupid Sango and Miroku.It's their fault that they're making me go on this stupid trip.We shouldn't fool around when we have jewel shards to collect and Naraku to find.'

'But you want to go to be near Kagome. don't you?'

'Wha-wha-. Who the hell are you?!!? Get out of my head!'

'I'm your conscience stupid.'

'Wha- did you just call me stupid?!?!'

'You called yourself stupid.'

'.I'm so confused.'

'-.-* My point exactly'

'Feh.' As Inu-Yasha was arguing with.well.himself, he, too, noticed a strange light. 'Is that a soul? Wait a minute. THAT'S KIKYOU'S SMELL!'

*Kagome*

She slowly walked out of the hut and followed the soul she saw. 'What's going on? Could this be Kikyou?' Out of nowhere, more souls came up behind her and sped past her, floating with the original soul she was following. Some soul carriers then came and gathered the souls and started to descend toward the Goshinbuku. 'What?! Soul carriers? It is Kikyou!' Kagome then started running as fast as she could toward the sacred god tree.

*Inu-Yasha*

Inu-Yasha, too, was lead toward the Goshinbuku. When he got there, he saw the soul carriers give Kikyou the souls.

"Ki-Kikyou." he stuttered.

"Inu-Yasha.I see you've found me."

"Kikyou."

"Inu-Yasha.have you decided to go to hell with me?" she said as she approached him.

"Kikyou.I.I.can't."he said cautiously, but that still didn't stop Kikyou from approaching him.

"Kiky-," before Inu-Yasha could continue, Kikyou grabbed him into an embrace.

"Inu-Yasha.please.will you go to hell with me.? Do you still harvest the feelings that you've had since 50 years ago?"

"Kikyou."'Wait a minute.Who's scent is that.? No.'

*Kagome*

'I'm almost there. Here! The Goshinbu- *gasp* I-inuyasha. and Kikyou?!? So.Inu-Yasha just came here to say he's going for awhile.'

'Kagome.Wha-what are you doing here? I thought you were in Grandma's hut! Kagome.It's not what it looks like.' Kikyou noticed Kagome, and slowly faced her, still embracing Inu-Yasha.

"My reincarnation.As you can see. Inu-Yasha and I are busy.so go back to the village." Kagome didn't exactly know what to do. The only thing she knew what to do.was run.

"Kagome wait!" Inu-Yasha broke away from Kikyou's embrace, which caused her to glare at him.

'Hmph.Is it possible that my own reincarnation has taken away my Inu- Yasha?'

*Back to Inu-Yasha and Kagome*

"Kagome wait!" Inu-Yasha ran up to her and grabbed her arm, causing her to jerk a little forward.

"Inu-Yasha let go!" she struggled.

"No! Listen to me! No-"

"I understand," Kagome said firmly, "You were just there to say good-bye."

"You don't under-,"

"I understand perfectly. So why don't you just sit *slam* down for awhile and wait until we leave tomorrow."

"klJsf." Kagome stopped all the way back to the village mentally saying 'Baka Inu-Yasha, Baka Inu-Yasha' repeatedly into her head. Even though she didn't mean to wake up anyone in the hut, she was practically growling to herself and couldn't find that perfect spot to lay down on, so she made plenty of noise; although, everybody had a pretty good idea what happened, and decided to just go back to their dreams.
