=============Chapter Fifty-One =============
"You'll get over it" InuYasha whispered.
The haunting dream flashed through Kagome's mind, and her soul felt insecure and unstable.
"I hope so...." Kagome said weakly, she felt herself go dizzy and fainted.
"That was....sudden..." InuYasha muttered as he picked Kagome up, a little worried, but he believed that it was because she was just tired.
InuYasha Jumped through the air, holding Kagome gently in his arms. He looked down at her face that glowed in the moonlight.
~Kagome.....~
He finally landed near the hut,
"Kaede?" InuYasha called as he entered the dark room. She was no where to be seen. He looked around some more and saw a note pinned to the wooden wall.
InuYasha walked over after placing Kagome gently on the matt to read the note:
I have a feeling that this will be the day when you choose either Kikyo or Kagome. However, whoever you choose, I have a feeling that your friends would like to be here and not miss out on such time. The idea may not soot you well, but it is for the best. I hope you are happy with the choice you have made, if you read this letter.....I hope you are not angered at me for calling for your friends to come, but as I said. It is for the best.
-Lady Kaede
"Keh, stupid hag. I don't care" InuYasha muttered as he turned to look Kagome who still lay unconscious.
InuYasha slowly walked over to her and sat next to her. He could see the soul back in her, her face no longer had that empty look. For the whole time he had acted as if having Kagome back wasn't a big deal. But inside his heart, it pounded with joy.
InuYasha bent down and held Kagome, he would have never done that if she had been awake...without an obvious reason.
He closed his eyes. This was no longer Kikyo he had mistaken as Kagome, but really Kagome.....
"Wakkata...." InuYasha whispered to himself.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes, feeling someone holding her. Even though she didn't see who it was that was holding her, her heart started to beat fast and melt at the same time.
"InuYasha....."
InuYasha moved back and looked down at her, his cheeks a bit pink.
"Kagome.....you're awake"
Kagome looked up and warmly smiled,
"Hope I didn't worry you too much by fainting" Kagome said sweetly.
"Keh.." InuYasha said, trying not to let out his emotions...which with Kagome always seemed hard. InuYasha looked away from Kagome.
Silence.
"Hey...." InuYasha muttered, turning back to Kagome, "are you alright now?" he couldn't help himself but ask.
"Yah...." Kagome muttered, but she could feel herself still feeling unwell.
InuYasha frowned, he knew when Kagome was lying.....
He caught a glance at her arm that had dried blood stained onher navy blue sweater.
"Jeez....Kikyo must have had some anger problem....stabbing you like that and all" InuYasha muttered.
"Huh...?" Kagome saw her arms, "Oh....it's understandable.....she hated me..."
"Still....she must have gone out of control with her hate"
"Sorry...." Kagome whispered.
"For what?" InuYasha asked, looking down at the floor.
"For.....causing you to loose Kikyo....."
"I told you Kagome, it's not your fault.....how could it have been your fault if you were damn....well....dead?" InuYasha asked as he turned and walked towards the shelf that had medication things shelved.
"If I had just listened to Kikyo, I wouldn't have made her impure herself or make you suffer my absence, and make you loose Kikyo"
"Keh, the things I tell you really don't go into your head, does it.....Kagome, it's better this way. Kikyo's gone and now I have you. I'm really happy I chose you, Kagome..." InuYasha told her as he walked back with things in his hands.
He crouched down close next to her, and gently took her arm, pulling the sleeves up. InuYasha cringed seeing all the deep gashes. He got a bowl of warm water and a cloth and started to wash away her wounds.
"This might hurt a bit...." InuYasha muttered as he picked up a jar that had herbal liquid to kill any infections.
Kagome pulled her arms away, "you don't know anything about medicines, how do I know that your not just dabbing some sort of...poison on me?!" Kagome asked.
"Cuz...I remember my mom using some stuff like this on me when I got hurt from.....fights" InuYasha muttered.
*****Flashback*****
"Can I play with you guys?" the little boy with silver hair, gold cat like eyes and a pair of ears asked.
The group of energetic little youkai's laughed at him,
"Hey InuYasha you half-breed. We're gunu kick you filthy ass. You're no match to play with us because you're a HALF youkai!!!"
"YAH! Half breed!"
InuYasha growled in anger, he ran at the group of small youkais and punched on in the eyes as it bursted into tears.
Then the whole circle of small youkai's started to claw at him. They all jumped on top of him.
"AH! Get off me!" InuYasha yelled, having a hard time breathing.
"No! We're gunu kill you, you dog!"
Suddenly, InuYasha felt the kids being pulled off him. They all stared at Seshoumaru that glared at InuYasha.
"InuYasha, let's go...."
InuYasha looked down and followed.
"A half breed like you should not hang around full breeds" he told him
*****End of Flashback*****
Kagome looked at InuYasha who looked really angry.
"Stupid Seshoumaru.....Always embarrasses me before I could finish off any fight" InuYasha muttered in thought.
"InuYasha....?" Kagome called.
InuYasha looked down to see his hands that held the cloth dripping with the herbal medicine still in the air.
"Oh..gomen" InuYasha said as he gently pressed the cloth on her wounds. Kagome winked from the sting the medicine caused.
"Sorry....does it hurt a lot?" InuYasha asked. Kagome shook her head,
"No, not that much...." Kagome whispered.
InuYasha gently wrapped her arms with the bandage.
"There...all done" InuYasha said with a smile.
"Thanks.....now it's your turn" Kagome announced.
"Wha- what?! Me...it's alright, I'm fine. Really" InuYasha stammered.
Kagome stared up at InuYasha as her eyes went tearful.
"K- Kagome...w- what's wrong?!" InuYasha asked.
A tear ran down her cheeks, "I..I just wanted to help. But you never do....."
InuYasha's face went dark, "fine...."
"Thank you" Kagome said as the tears disappeared, ~Ah hah, my tear trick always works~
InuYasha's face burned as Kagome wound the bandage around his wound, his skin suddenly felt sensitive to ever touch and brush of her hands.
(June, the writer, is sweating from how hard this is to write)
InuYasha glanced at Kagome and then looked away, he could feel his heart beating loudly. So loud, that he wondered if Kagome could hear it.
"Man, Kagome, do you even know what embarrassment is?" InuYasha asked.
".....Ya....But why should I feel embarrassed?" Kagome asked in a slightly unsteady voice,
"Haha.....is it just me....or is it getting a bit warm in here...." Kagome asked nervously, hoping she didn't catch a fever.
Silence.
InuYasha gritted his teeth, ~what's wrong with me....why am I feeling like this~
He couldn't help himself from glancing at Kagome every few second.
Kagome tied the bandage that wrapped InuYasha's wound.
"There....all done...." Kagome said. She had been holding in her breath for the whole time.
InuYasha couldn't help but glance at all Kagome was wearing at that moment, a blue sweater and her uniform skirt...He couldn't help many things when he was with Kagome.
He seriously wanted to punch himself right there, ~damn, damn, damn! I'm turning into Miroku!!! DAMMIT! Man I feel sorry for him this is what he has to go through whenever he sees a female!~
"InuYasha...."Kagome called, seeing him look a bit...out of there. She felt her cheeks burning up .
"Huh..., gomen...I...was just....thinking" InuYasha muttered.
Kagome looked away in a blush.
InuYasha could feel how close they were.....
~Her scent......~
He looked up at Kagome, his heart beating fast.
Kagome felt InuYasha getting closer to her, ~Move back Kagome...~ her mind told her, but....she felt her body wasn't connected to her brain.
Kagome stopped breathing when she felt his breath brushing against her neck. Kagome's whole face turned red, as her heart beated sped uncontrollably.
The next thing Kagome knew was feeling InuYasha push her to the ground with him over her and kissing her. She knew she should get away.....but couldn't.
(June says: this is hard to write)
InuYasha held his fingers into a fist, trying to get control of himself....which he didn't seem to be able to do.
The kiss became more deeper.
~InuYasha..... ~ was all went through Kagome's dazed mind.
Suddenly they heard foot steps coming towards the hut.
InuYasha quickly moved off Kagome. His breathing heavy. He could feel himself feeling....over heated.
InuYasha turned and looked away from Kagome,
"Gomen..." InuYasha said, ~What had I been about to do.....~
Kagome just stared at her hands, ~ Wow....what was that~
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, and Kaede entered the hut. They wouldn't have suspected anything if InuYasha had his Haori properly on and if both of them weren't burning red.
Miroku gave a big smile, he walked over to InuYasha.
"That was a long and tiring journey. So what have you guys been doing without me?" Miroku asked, resting his hands on InuYasha's bare shoulder, and then quickly removed his hands, "Wow, InuYasha.....you're burning up. Do you have some sort of fever that you and Kagome shared? For she looks in the same state as you"
Sango hit Miroku hard across the head,
"Just shut up"
"Yes, of course my beautiful maiden"
Sango hit Miroku across the head again.
Shippo was glaring at InuYasha, finally realizing what InuYasha maybe had done "InuYasha....hentai (pervert, also known as..something else)!!!" he said aloud.
InuYasha growled as he raised his fist and slammed it across Shippo's head.
Shippo screamed, "HENTAI!"
"BAKA!" InuYasha yelled, chasing after Shippo.
"HENTAI, HENTAI, HENTAI!!!!!" Shippo kept screaming.
Miroku caught Shippo and protected him from the angered youkai,
"You must understand, that when loved ones are reunited, this is how they express themselves. But it is too difficult for you to understand at this age. When you are a man, we shall have a man to man talk and I'll explain everything to you" Miroku said.
"I am OLD enough!" Shippo cried.
"It'd be better if you didn't know at ALL!" Sango said.
InuYasha and Kagome just stood glaring at Miroku, their cheeks red.
Miroku walked over to InuYasha,
"InuYasha, I believe I have been a strong influence on you...." Miroku smiled, "HEY, at least I'm not the only hentai here anymore!"
InuYasha hit Miroku hard across the head, leaving a big bump.
"If you don't shut your dirty mouth, I'll KILL YOU!" InuYasha yelled.
"Hey, being a hentai is something to be proud of! Sango just makes it sound very bad"
InuYasha gave Miroku a warning look.
"Well, really InuYasha, a two timer will always become a pervert" Miroku sighed.
InuYasha walked away,
"Nope, not anymore....Kikyo's dead...." InuYasha muttered.
Everyone went silence.
Miroku walked up to InuYasha and placed his hands on his shoulders,
"Are you...alright with it?"
"Keh...yah....I guess" InuYasha muttered. The blood of Kikyo splattering onto the ground flashed through his mind.
"Tell us...what happened?" Kaede asked.
"Nothing much to tell....She stole Kagome, was about to through her down a cliff when I appeared. I caught Kagome, but not Kikyo as they were falling off....yup, that's pretty much it" InuYasha muttered as if he didn't care, but he could feel his heart pounding in pain.
Kagome sadly looked at InuYasha, ~He does....miss Kikyo..Her memory will always haunt him.... Seeing someone he loved dying that way...~
Kagome leaned against the wall, the dizziness in her mind wouldn't go away. She closed her eyes and waited, hoping it would go away, but it didn't.
She felt as if she had just been on a dizzy ride at the fair.
Kaede and Sango noticed Kagome looking unwell, while InuYasha and Miroku were talking.
"So...InuYasha, did not Kagome-sama have a shard in her possession?" Miroku asked.
InuYasha frowned, "Oh...yah...."
Silence.
"Oh...shit....Kikyo probably has it...and she fell off the cliff" InuYasha muttered, "DAMMIT!"
"It's ok, we will go get it tomorrow....right now is not the time to be worrying about the shards"
"Keh, I know that" InuYasha. Suddenly, they heard something thud to the ground.
They turned to see Kagome on the ground. Kaede shook her head,
"I knew it.." she muttered.
"Know what?!" InuYasha asked in worry.
They placed her gently on the matt with a thick blanket over her.
"Her soul is still at unease from being disturbed" Kaede said.
"Is that.....bad?" InuYasha asked.
"Oh, it shall go back to normal in a few hours.or who knows" Kaede answered.
Everyone sighed in relief.
"Kagome, Kagome!" Shippo cried in happiness, "she's back!!!!" Shippo said as he wrung his arms around her neck.
"Move it Fox, leave Kagome alone! She's unwell!" InuYasha said, pulling him off.
InuYasha crouched down next to her and looked down at her,
"Will she....be alright for sure?" InuYasha asked, ~Loosing Kikyo was hard enough, but loosing Kagome....will be too much~
"Yes, yes, she shall be fine"
In the back round, Miroku was silently laughing and pointing at InuYasha and Kagome and acting out a whole marriage scene.
Sango had a stress mark on her head and silently knocked Miroku to the ground.
****************************************
It had felt as if Kagome had just gone to sleep when it became time to wake up.
Kagome saw Sango making the breakfast,
"I'll help" Kagome said.
"No, you might not be well enough to move yet" Sango warned.
Kagome sweat dropped, "I'm not that weak"
"Still Kagome!"
"Fine....then I'm going out to the river"
"Why?" Sango asked.
"To wash up my face" Kagome replied.
Sango sighed, " Lady Kaede will you please take over the cooking?"
"Of course"
"W- why?" Kagome asked.
"You might faint and fall into the river" Sango replied.
"Are you trying to tease me?!"
"No, no. Now let's go. I have to wash up anyway"
Kagome and Sango sat next to each other with their feet dipped in the cool water.
"It's getting warmer everyday" Sango muttered.
"Yah...."
Kagome looked over at Sango who was staring at Kagome's neck,
"I- I didn't think...it could be true!" Sango gasped.
"Wh- what?!" Kagome cried in horror, "what's wrong with my neck?!"
"You....have a ...a Hickie ?!!!! "[sp?]
Kagome went red and looked into the river. She could see a slightly redder spot on her neck. ~It is.....~
Sango went a little red, "So.....how was it..you know...with InuYasha and all" Sango forced herself to ask out of curiosity.
Kagome shook her head fast, "NO! I didn't do it!!!"
Sango just stared at her with unbelief,
"Seriously!" Kagome yelled.
"K, K, I believe you" Sango said in her usual voice, then she turned her head, "Waaa, I can't believe she actually did it!!!! I wonder....Miroku.."
~NOOOOOO!!! I must not give in to it!!!~ Sango thought in frustration.
Kagome looked at Sango, "You alright?"
"HAHA! Why wouldn't I be?" Sango asked, her cheeks pink.
"You were talking to yourself"
"Ha....I'm alright..KAGOME! TELL ME! I am like your sister, you have no need to keep it away from me!" Sango begged.
Kagome shook Sango, "I didn't!!!!!!!!!"
Sango sighed, "I really wanted to know" she muttered to herself.
"Nani?! You want to know?! Why?! So you can do it with Miroku?!" Kagome said in disbelief.
"N- N- Nani?! No....I don't know what you're talking about!!" Sango stammered, her cheeks turning pinker.
"There, there" Kagome said, patting Sango on the shoulder, "you must resist the temptation!"
"Nanda?! No! I didn't mean that!!!!"
"Ah, sure sure" Kagome said.
*******************************************
Kaede through some more herbs into the fire as she prayed, with the rosary around her hands. Something flashed into her mind.
There was the full Shikon no Tama, then it shattered. Then suddenly, she saw only darkness, and blood splattering everywhere. Then light, then darkness. Suddenly, she saw the Shikon no Tama reappear, with only two shards missing from the whole. There came a picture of Sango's little brother, Kohaku, with a shard glowing on his back. Then a picture of Kikyo, holding a shard in her palms. Fire flaming back behind her, suddenly, Kikyo shot open her eyes. "It's nearly complete...." Kikyo muttered.
Kaede shot open her eyes to see Miroku and InuYasha staring at her.
"Are you alright Lady Kaede?" Miroku asked.
"Hey, I want some food Old hag" InuYasha muttered.
"The Shikon no Tama..." Kaede whispered, her face dripping with sweat.
Silence.
"What...about it?" InuYasha slowly asked.
"Only..two shards left....And Naraku has the rest"
InuYasha's eyes widened,
"Who has the other two?!" Miroku asked.
"Kohaku.....and Kikyo"
InuYasha's heart froze,
~What are we going to do....if we take it from Kohaku...Sango...And Kikyo? Isn't she dead already.....so how can she posess it?~
"Kaede-baba.....How the hell can Kikyo have it if she's dead?!" InuYasha asked.
Kaede closed her eyes, "her heart.....is stubborn and full of hate and darkness. She would not give in to death that easily...."
"But.....I saw her BLOOD!" InuYasha yelled.
Kaede closed her eyes tighter, ~Sister.....how you must suffer~
"I do not know...InuYasha...." Kaede muttered.
******************************************
The previous night.....
Kikyo fell down the cliff with her hands stretched out.....waiting for the hands that would not reach out for her and save her...
Kikyo closed her eyes,
~ I am the person....that you loved 50 years ago......but you have found someone else~
~So......it all ends like this.....why......? My task......hasn't finished yet~
~All I wanted was your love.......InuYasha. I do.....love you. Sayonara.....for now....I haven't finished with you......... yet~
Kikyo hit the side of the cliff as she went unconscious......
~I will tear your heart up....with my bare hands....and I shall watch you look at me in pain and betrayal.......I shall revenge you. And that bitch Kagome.....I will steal InuYasha and then later watch me kill InuYasha....then I shall slowly kill her. I will not die.....until I have their bloods smeared on my hands.....and InuYasha's pitiful life with me in hell.....~
Kikyo's eyes shot open. She weakly stood up, a big pool of blood surrounding her, and blood pouring out of her. Kikyo slowly walked through the pool of blood. Kikyo saw something glowing black in the red blood.
Kikyo painfully bent down and picked it up,
~A tainted shard of the Shikon jewel.....the last time I took it from Kagome......it had been pure.......what has happened~
Kikyo walked on. Too much hatred was stored up in her for her to feel much pain. Her forehead was spilling with blood, her lips dripping with streaks of blood. Blood dripping from her hands, her Haori pouring out blood from her wounds.
"I will not die....." Kikyo hissed.
"Kikyo..." called a voice.
Kikyo turned around to see Naraku in his true form.
Kikyo smiled, "I was hoping that I would see you"
"I see...." Naraku muttered, not knowing what Kikyo was up to.
Kikyo held something in her hands and held it out to Naraku.
"What...is this...." Naraku asked suspiciously.
"Can you not.....feel it? Stretch out your hands"
Naraku did, she dropped something into his palms. A shard of the Shikon jewel.
Naraku frowned and smiled, "why are you giving this to me?"
"You used to be my bitter enemy, but comparing you to the hatred I have for Kagome, you may as well be my friend" Kikyo said.
Naraku smiled, "Kikyo....why the change of mind?"
"I have been waiting for something too long......Let me join your side. Support me with dead souls"
"My pleasure" Naraku smiled,
*heart beat* Onigumo: ~Kikyo....finally...I can be with you~
**~~ Mwuahahahaha, I returned Kikyo...I know. You guys all hate me. But now say buh bai to the KINDA nice Kikyo and say hello to Naraku's helper ^^" HAHAHAHA.....yah. OMG, yay, the romance part was frigging hard!!!! Sharon, if you read this.....i don't have these kind of mind. But reader, if you want me to add more of "these stuff" then tell me. Then I'll do it JUST for you guys......yah. KK, Sayonara~~**
You guys wanted PG-13 romance, I'll give it to ya from all the fluff I've missed...God this is gunu be hard for me to write....-_-" Dun worry, it wont go as far as lemon....ew, but some fics that are rated 13 go that far ^^" And if you thought this chapter went a little too far in some parts, GOMEN.

=============Chapter Fifty-One =============
"You'll get over it" InuYasha whispered.
The haunting dream flashed through Kagome's mind, and her soul felt insecure and unstable.
"I hope so...." Kagome said weakly, she felt herself go dizzy and fainted.
"That was....sudden..." InuYasha muttered as he picked Kagome up, a little worried, but he believed that it was because she was just tired.
InuYasha Jumped through the air, holding Kagome gently in his arms. He looked down at her face that glowed in the moonlight.

InuYasha gently wrapped her arms with the bandage.
"There...all done" InuYasha said with a smile.
"Thanks.....now it's your turn" Kagome announced.
"Wha- what?! Me...it's alright, I'm fine. Really" InuYasha stammered.
Kagome stared up at InuYasha as her eyes went tearful.
"K- Kagome...w- what's wrong?!" InuYasha asked.
A tear ran down her cheeks, "I..I just wanted to help. But you never do....."
InuYasha's face went dark, "fine...."
"Thank you" Kagome said as the tears disappeared, ~Ah hah, my tear trick always works~
InuYasha's face burned as Kagome wound the bandage around his wound, his skin suddenly felt sensitive to ever touch and brush of her hands.

He seriously wanted to punch himself right there, ~damn, damn, damn! I'm turning into Miroku!!! DAMMIT! Man I feel sorry for him this is what he has to go through whenever he sees a female!~
"InuYasha...."Kagome called, seeing him look a bit...out of there. She felt her cheeks burning up .
"Huh..., gomen...I...was just....thinking" InuYasha muttered.
Kagome looked away in a blush.
InuYasha could feel how close they were.....
~Her scent......~
He looked up at Kagome, his heart beating fast.
Kagome felt InuYasha getting closer to her, ~Move back Kagome...~ her mind told her, but....she felt her body wasn't connected to her brain.
Kagome stopped breathing when she felt his breath brushing against her neck. Kagome's whole face turned red, as her heart beated sped uncontrollably.
The next thing Kagome knew was feeling InuYasha push her to the ground with him over her and kissing her. She knew she should get away.....but couldn't.
(June says: this is hard to write)
InuYasha held his fingers into a fist, trying to get control of himself....which he didn't seem to be able to do.
The kiss became more deeper.
~InuYasha..... ~ was all went through Kagome's dazed mind.
Suddenly they heard foot steps coming towards the hut.
InuYasha quickly moved off Kagome. His breathing heavy. He could feel himself feeling....over heated.
InuYasha turned and looked away from Kagome,
"Gomen..." InuYasha said, ~What had I been about to do.....~
Kagome just stared at her hands, ~ Wow....what was that~
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilala, and Kaede entered the hut. They wouldn't have suspected anything if InuYasha had his Haori properly on and if both of them weren't burning red.
Miroku gave a big smile, he walked over to InuYasha.
"That was a long and tiring journey. So what have you guys been doing without me?" Miroku asked, resting his hands on InuYasha's bare shoulder, and then quickly removed his hands, "Wow, InuYasha.....you're burning up. Do you have some sort of fever that you and Kagome shared? For she looks in the same state as you"
Sango hit Miroku hard across the head,
"Just shut up"
"Yes, of course my beautiful maiden"
Sango hit Miroku across the head again.
Shippo was glaring at InuYasha, finally realizing what InuYasha maybe had done "InuYasha....hentai (pervert, also known as..something else)!!!" he said aloud.
InuYasha growled as he raised his fist and slammed it across Shippo's head.
Shippo screamed, "HENTAI!"
"BAKA!" InuYasha yelled, chasing after Shippo.
"HENTAI, HENTAI, HENTAI!!!!!" Shippo kept screaming.
Miroku caught Shippo and protected him from the angered youkai,
"You must understand, that when loved ones are reunited, this is how they express themselves. But it is too difficult for you to understand at this age. When you are a man, we shall have a man to man talk and I'll explain everything to you" Miroku said.
"I am OLD enough!" Shippo cried.
"It'd be better if you didn't know at ALL!" Sango said.
InuYasha and Kagome just stood glaring at Miroku, their cheeks red.
Miroku walked over to InuYasha,
"InuYasha, I believe I have been a strong influence on you...." Miroku smiled, "HEY, at least I'm not the only hentai here anymore!"
InuYasha hit Miroku hard across the head, leaving a big bump.
"If you don't shut your dirty mouth, I'll KILL YOU!" InuYasha yelled.
"Hey, being a hentai is something to be proud of! Sango just makes it sound very bad"
InuYasha gave Miroku a warning look.
"Well, really InuYasha, a two timer will always become a pervert" Miroku sighed.
InuYasha walked away,
"Nope, not anymore....Kikyo's dead...." InuYasha muttered.
Everyone went silence.
Miroku walked up to InuYasha and placed his hands on his shoulders,
"Are you...alright with it?"
"Keh...yah....I guess" InuYasha muttered. The blood of Kikyo splattering onto the ground flashed through his mind.
"Tell us...what happened?" Kaede asked.
"Nothing much to tell....She stole Kagome, was about to through her down a cliff when I appeared. I caught Kagome, but not Kikyo as they were falling off....yup, that's pretty much it" InuYasha muttered as if he didn't care, but he could feel his heart pounding in pain.
Kagome sadly looked at InuYasha, ~He does....miss Kikyo..Her memory will always haunt him.... Seeing someone he loved dying that way...~
Kagome leaned against the wall, the dizziness in her mind wouldn't go away. She closed her eyes and waited, hoping it would go away, but it didn't.
She felt as if she had just been on a dizzy ride at the fair.
Kaede and Sango noticed Kagome looking unwell, while InuYasha and Miroku were talking.
"So...InuYasha, did not Kagome-sama have a shard in her possession?" Miroku asked.
InuYasha frowned, "Oh...yah...."
Silence.
"Oh...shit....Kikyo probably has it...and she fell off the cliff" InuYasha muttered, "DAMMIT!"
"It's ok, we will go get it tomorrow....right now is not the time to be worrying about the shards"
"Keh, I know that" InuYasha. Suddenly, they heard something thud to the ground.
They turned to see Kagome on the ground. Kaede shook her head,
"I knew it.." she muttered.
"Know what?!" InuYasha asked in worry.
They placed her gently on the matt with a thick blanket over her.
"Her soul is still at unease from being disturbed" Kaede said.
"Is that.....bad?" InuYasha asked.
"Oh, it shall go back to normal in a few hours.or who knows" Kaede answered.
Everyone sighed in relief.
"Kagome, Kagome!" Shippo cried in happiness, "she's back!!!!" Shippo said as he wrung his arms around her neck.
"Move it Fox, leave Kagome alone! She's unwell!" InuYasha said, pulling him off.
InuYasha crouched down next to her and looked down at her,
"Will she....be alright for sure?" InuYasha asked, ~Loosing Kikyo was hard enough, but loosing Kagome....will be too much~
"Yes, yes, she shall be fine"
In the back round, Miroku was silently laughing and pointing at InuYasha and Kagome and acting out a whole marriage scene.
Sango had a stress mark on her head and silently knocked Miroku to the ground.
****************************************
It had felt as if Kagome had just gone to sleep when it became time to wake up.
Kagome saw Sango making the breakfast,
"I'll help" Kagome said.
"No, you might not be well enough to move yet" Sango warned.
Kagome sweat dropped, "I'm not that weak"
"Still Kagome!"
"Fine....then I'm going out to the river"
"Why?" Sango asked.
"To wash up my face" Kagome replied.
Sango sighed, " Lady Kaede will you please take over the cooking?"
"Of course"
"W- why?" Kagome asked.
"You might faint and fall into the river" Sango replied.
"Are you trying to tease me?!"
"No, no. Now let's go. I have to wash up anyway"
Kagome and Sango sat next to each other with their feet dipped in the cool water.
"It's getting warmer everyday" Sango muttered.
"Yah...."
Kagome looked over at Sango who was staring at Kagome's neck,
"I- I didn't think...it could be true!" Sango gasped.
"Wh- what?!" Kagome cried in horror, "what's wrong with my neck?!"
"You....have a ...a Hickie ?!!!! "[sp?]
Kagome went red and looked into the river. She could see a slightly redder spot on her neck. ~It is.....~
Sango went a little red, "So.....how was it..you know...with InuYasha and all" Sango forced herself to ask out of curiosity.
Kagome shook her head fast, "NO! I didn't do it!!!"
Sango just stared at her with unbelief,
"Seriously!" Kagome yelled.
"K, K, I believe you" Sango said in her usual voice, then she turned her head, "Waaa, I can't believe she actually did it!!!! I wonder....Miroku.."
~NOOOOOO!!! I must not give in to it!!!~ Sango thought in frustration.
Kagome looked at Sango, "You alright?"
"HAHA! Why wouldn't I be?" Sango asked, her cheeks pink.
"You were talking to yourself"
"Ha....I'm alright..KAGOME! TELL ME! I am like your sister, you have no need to keep it away from me!" Sango begged.
Kagome shook Sango, "I didn't!!!!!!!!!"
Sango sighed, "I really wanted to know" she muttered to herself.
"Nani?! You want to know?! Why?! So you can do it with Miroku?!" Kagome said in disbelief.
"N- N- Nani?! No....I don't know what you're talking about!!" Sango stammered, her cheeks turning pinker.
"There, there" Kagome said, patting Sango on the shoulder, "you must resist the temptation!"
"Nanda?! No! I didn't mean that!!!!"
"Ah, sure sure" Kagome said.
*******************************************
Kaede through some more herbs into the fire as she prayed, with the rosary around her hands. Something flashed into her mind.
There was the full Shikon no Tama, then it shattered. Then suddenly, she saw only darkness, and blood splattering everywhere. Then light, then darkness. Suddenly, she saw the Shikon no Tama reappear, with only two shards missing from the whole. There came a picture of Sango's little brother, Kohaku, with a shard glowing on his back. Then a picture of Kikyo, holding a shard in her palms. Fire flaming back behind her, suddenly, Kikyo shot open her eyes. "It's nearly complete...." Kikyo muttered.
Kaede shot open her eyes to see Miroku and InuYasha staring at her.
"Are you alright Lady Kaede?" Miroku asked.
"Hey, I want some food Old hag" InuYasha muttered.
"The Shikon no Tama..." Kaede whispered, her face dripping with sweat.
Silence.
"What...about it?" InuYasha slowly asked.
"Only..two shards left....And Naraku has the rest"
InuYasha's eyes widened,
"Who has the other two?!" Miroku asked.
"Kohaku.....and Kikyo"
InuYasha's heart froze,
~What are we going to do....if we take it from Kohaku...Sango...And Kikyo? Isn't she dead already.....so how can she posess it?~
"Kaede-baba.....How the hell can Kikyo have it if she's dead?!" InuYasha asked.
Kaede closed her eyes, "her heart.....is stubborn and full of hate and darkness. She would not give in to death that easily...."
"But.....I saw her BLOOD!" InuYasha yelled.
Kaede closed her eyes tighter, ~Sister.....how you must suffer~
"I do not know...InuYasha...." Kaede muttered.
******************************************
The previous night.....
Kikyo fell down the cliff with her hands stretched out.....waiting for the hands that would not reach out for her and save her...
Kikyo closed her eyes,
~ I am the person....that you loved 50 years ago......but you have found someone else~
~So......it all ends like this.....why......? My task......hasn't finished yet~
~All I wanted was your love.......InuYasha. I do.....love you. Sayonara.....for now....I haven't finished with you......... yet~
Kikyo hit the side of the cliff as she went unconscious......
~I will tear your heart up....with my bare hands....and I shall watch you look at me in pain and betrayal.......I shall revenge you. And that bitch Kagome.....I will steal InuYasha and then later watch me kill InuYasha....then I shall slowly kill her. I will not die.....until I have their bloods smeared on my hands.....and InuYasha's pitiful life with me in hell.....~
Kikyo's eyes shot open. She weakly stood up, a big pool of blood surrounding her, and blood pouring out of her. Kikyo slowly walked through the pool of blood. Kikyo saw something glowing black in the red blood.
Kikyo painfully bent down and picked it up,
~A tainted shard of the Shikon jewel.....the last time I took it from Kagome......it had been pure.......what has happened~
Kikyo walked on. Too much hatred was stored up in her for her to feel much pain. Her forehead was spilling with blood, her lips dripping with streaks of blood. Blood dripping from her hands, her Haori pouring out blood from her wounds.
"I will not die....." Kikyo hissed.
"Kikyo..." called a voice.
Kikyo turned around to see Naraku in his true form.
Kikyo smiled, "I was hoping that I would see you"
"I see...." Naraku muttered, not knowing what Kikyo was up to.
Kikyo held something in her hands and held it out to Naraku.
"What...is this...." Naraku asked suspiciously.
"Can you not.....feel it? Stretch out your hands"
Naraku did, she dropped something into his palms. A shard of the Shikon jewel.
Naraku frowned and smiled, "why are you giving this to me?"
"You used to be my bitter enemy, but comparing you to the hatred I have for Kagome, you may as well be my friend" Kikyo said.
Naraku smiled, "Kikyo....why the change of mind?"
"I have been waiting for something too long......Let me join your side. Support me with dead souls"
"My pleasure" Naraku smiled,
*heart beat* Onigumo: ~Kikyo....finally...I can be with you~
