Kikyo ran through the forest, with ten or so arrows sticking out of her back. It was a wonder that she was still concious, or alive, for that matter, but she had to get away from Naraku. The pain of the poison in the arrows threatened to bring her down once or twice, but she ignored it, her fear driving her to run. Kikyo slipped once, falling to her knees. She blinked, trying to keep her eyes open.

Kikyo got up and looked around her. "Inu..Yasha.." she sighed. Visions of him. "Naraku," she said in her priestess-like voice. "I have to get away from this madness," she said. "He's toying with my brain!" She got up, slowly, using her bow for support. She felt her body going numb from the poisons, but she started to run again.

Around Kikyo's neck was a chain, on which was seven Shikon no Tama shards, and they gave off a faint glow as she sprinted past the sacred tree. Inu Yasha was sleeping in the tree, but Kikyo did not notice him. She stared at the spot where she had pinned him there fifty years ago. She walked past, heading into the forest again.

As Kikyo fastly walked into the forest, Kagome was emerging from the Bone Eater's Well. She saw the faint blur of her clothes. "Hmm..I wonder.." she muttered, drawing her bow and following the figure.
