Chapter 3: Soul Transfer

"Kikyou, why are you doing this?" Kagome asks. "I have no reason to tell you, for you will be dead soon, and will have no memory of me or your love, Inuyasha. Now, Naraku, do it, now!" says Kikyou. As Naraku is about to send the finally blow to Inuyasha, Kagome in now so angry, that all of a sudden Kikyou starts to yell. Naraku stops and looks up to Kikyou, so does Kagome, souls are forcing their way out of Kikyou's body. "No, why, not yet, why can she still call back her soul?!" mumbles Kikyou. As Kikyou is losing more and more souls, Naraku has stopped his assault on Inuyasha and comes to her rescue, he picks her up, and drags her away, barely escaping another death. Kagome cannot believe that she can still call back her own soul and is so relieved. She looks over to the badly beaten, unconscious Inuyasha, she runs over to him and tries to carry him, but he is too heavy. "Stay here, I'll come right back," she whispers to him, then she gets up and runs back to the well.

When she gets to the well, she jumps in. She comes out in her time and runs out of the well house and finds her bike. She collects it and then carries it back down in the well, but before she can get there all the way, her mother catches her, "Kagome, where are you going, and where are you taking your bike?" "Sorry, mom, no time to explain, Inuyasha is....." as Kagome is about to tell her mother that Inuyasha is hurt, she cuts herself off and lies. "Is......." her mother pushes on, "He........has gotten food from the village and wants to bring it here, and it is a lot, so he asked me to come and fetch my bike, so we can carry it here, and so I am getting my bike." Kagome quickly answers, hoping her mother will buy her fake story. "Okay, but don't get it messed up again, that is your third bike this year, and be careful." her mother responds, "Okay, I'll be back soon." Kagome lies again. Kagome then goes back into the hokora and struggles to get her bike into the well, and she finally succeeds.

She then gets back to Sengoku Jidai and pulls her bike up along with her, gets on it, then she rides back to where she left Inuyasha. When she gets there, he hasn't moved, "Well, why would he move, he is unconscious, duh." she assures herself as she rides over to him. She then tries to lift Inuyasha up far enough to put him on her bike. She falls over a few times, but then she gets him on there. She rides to a village, and is very surprised that it is Kaeda's village, for she too has a very little memory of feudal Japan, she then tries to remember which hut is Kaeda's, but can't remember. So she just tries a hut, and luckily it is hers, she lays her bike against the hut, carefully not trying to hurt Inuyasha even more. "Kagome, what are you doing here, aren't you suppose to be in your own time?" questions Kaeda. "Ah, Kaeda, it is so good to see you again, ohh, and I guess I have a lot of explaining to do."

As Kagome starts to tell Kaeda of her adventure so far, she seems very surprised that Kagome has made it through and that Kikyou is still alive and now she has brought back Naraku. "So now, Inuyasha is a full youkai, and the jewel......" Kagome continues as she pulls out the jewel, "It came out of him. I think that since the spell was broken, the jewel came back, but the thing that I would like to find out, is why the spell was broken." "Maybe it 'twas the love between thee and Inuyasha, when you were in danger, Inuyasha's love for you was at the tip, he would have done anything to save you, but why was he turned to full youkai, if he wouldn't have remembered you, that is very puzzling." Kaeda says. "That is true, I never thought of that, why did he change to a full youkai, when we know that he wouldn't know what he is doing" replies Kagome, "Well, that is thing we are going to have to find out, but right now," Kagome yawns, "I am getting a bit tired." "Stay here, Kagome, you can continue your journey tomorrow, and I am sure Inuyasha will be fine here too." Kaeda says as they both go out and pull Kagome's bike inside, and lift Inuyasha off of it, carefully, "Will you two be fine here, I must leave now and I may not be back until after nightfall." "Yeah, we'll be fine." Kagome assures Kaeda. Kaeda then leaves.
