(I want to see you again? Where those truly my own words? I just don't know why...But I think he may be right. But I refuse to believe him...I don't know what to feel.)

~~

"Kagome..." InuYasha stared at her, his face full of shock and hurt. He was at a loss of words. "How long has this been going on?" he whispered.

"This has been the second day." Kagome whispered.

"Miroku, Shippo. We should leave." Sango said quietly. The two nodded leaving the pair by themselves.

"Kagome. This is Sesshoumaru we are talking about. What has he said to you?"

"Why did you tell me in the first place?"

"Tell you what?" 'He's too calm.' Kagome thought. 'He must have a horrible shock.'

"That Sesshoumaru had a mate?" InuYasha stared at her with a fresh wave of shock. A red color filled his cheeks as he struggled to hold in his anger. It seemed like even he knew when it was best, to hold in his anger.

"I remember my mother mentioning it when I was younger but she died before I even reached the age of two! It's not like they had any kinds or anything! But what the hell does this have to do with anything?!"

"Everything. InuYasha... Sesshoumaru told me that I was the reincarnation of his departed mate." Once again InuYasha was stunned into silence.

"And you believe him?!"

"I don't known... Though I do feel like he is telling the truth."

"Kagome he's just trying to trick you! Deceive you, so he can get to me, then my sword! He's just using your lovesick heart to get to me! I mean, let's face it, Kagome! You've had a weak heart ever sense Kikyou kissed me earlier in our travels." suddenly anger bubbled inside of Kagome.

"How dare you!?" she screamed, gaining the attention of Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and a person watching from the woods. "Sense I saw you and Kikyou, I've been stronger!" she yelled again. A strange aura swarmed over her. She smiled slightly as she recognized the auras as Sesshoumaru's. It was comforting. She smiled up at InuYasha deadly calm.

"InuYasha," she said calmly. InuYasha stared at her with a shocked expression from her outburst. "I am not your past love, Kikyou's reincarnation... I am Kagome. The reincarnation of your elder brothers mate... I believe in him. I believe his words." slowly a wind blew growing stronger by the second, sweeping around Kagome. Her feet lifted off the ground about two feet, as a small blue ball slowly came from the part of her chest that was over her heart.

"KAGOME!" InuYasha yelled at the blue light bubble grew covering Kagome. Energy crackled around it, preventing any one from trying to get her. The rest of the group joined InuYasha's side, staring hopelessly. Sesshoumaru stepped out of the woods also staring at Kagome, though he didn't look worried. In fact he looked strangely happy.

A scream erupted from Kagome, as another blue ball of light seemed to come out of her chest. Though a second later, disappeared back into her chest. Then pulled back, only to be pushed back in.

"Leave my body Kikyou!" Kagome screamed.

'Never!'

"Leave me now!" Kagome screamed. She screamed in pain, as Kikyou's half soul pushed back in.

'You can't fight me. I'm the stronger then you."

"No, you're wrong!!!" Kagome screamed again this time another female voice behind hers. IT all most sounded like her, though older. Like a teenager and an adult reciting the same lines at once. "Leave this body, Kikyou, and never return." Kagome shouted, again forcing the soul back. This time the soul was ripped out completely, Kikyou and Kagome's two voices joined together with screams of torture.

"The blue light beat against Kagome, causing her to scream with pain, trying desperately too twist out of the souls angry path, but the blue shield prevented her from moving around much.

"Away Kikyou!" Kagome shouted. "Go away!" a pink light formed around Kagome, then spreading out much like the first blue one did, shattering the shield, as Kikyou's soul flew in a random direction, still fighting to go back.

Kagome softly landing her feet, eyes closed, as she fell to her knee's panting. The group watched her stunned with silent shock and horror. Shippo was the first to break the silence, as Kagome fell to the ground in a dead faint.

"Kagome, are you all right?!"

InuYasha looked up and gasped as he saw a familiar green serpent looking creature float by. 'Kikyou's soul catchers? Kikyou must be near by!'

"I'll be right back!" InuYasha called over his shoulder, as he took off. Sesshoumaru saw this and growled. 'The bastard!' he cursed walking calmly over to the group.

"Sesshoumaru," Miroku said. "You are here for Kagome?" he nodded still silently. "Could you wait for her to wake before leaving? So we can properly say good-bye?" again Sesshoumaru nodded with saying a word. Miroku grinned. Good. In the mean time...I', sure you could explain to us what just happened?" Sesshoumaru sighed.

'They do deserve an answer," he thought sitting beside Kagome on the ground, settling her on his lap, before launching into his tale.

~~

"So that's what happened then," Sango said softly after Sesshoumaru finished. "She was born with two souls."

"Yes," Sesshoumaru nodded once. "She was getting rid of the extra soul that she didn't need. When she wakes up she should have her memories back."

"InuYasha is going to be heartbroken." Miroku said to Sango. Sesshoumaru growled.

"I'm sure he'll live as I'm sure he's rutting with his undead bitch of a clay pot." Sesshoumaru said angrily. Kagome groaned as she shifted her eyes open.

"Don't use such talk in front of children." she said smiling widely at him. Sesshoumaru softly smiled back.

"What's rutting?" Shippo asked to Miroku. Miroku chuckled.

"In your case, it's when a mummy kitsune and a daddy kitsune love each other very much and they find it necessary..." Miroku was cut off as Sango had smacked him upside the head.

"Ask when you are older," she said. "Come on you two. Let's let them have some time." Shippo and Miroku followed Sango out of the hearing range of them.

"How do you feel?" he asked her.

"Wonderful," she said happily. "I remember, Sesshoumaru... I remember everything." Sesshoumaru's eyes seemed to mist over as he closed them, and kissed her.

"Oh, gods!" he whispered against her lips. "I have had my mate to return to me. Kagome my mate." kissing her again, his arms tightened around her. Kagome laughed and kissed him back.

"Yes. I have returned. Took me awhile to come out. But I have come back... Just for you."

~~

InuYasha chased madly after Kikyou's serpent; thrashing through fields, dense woods and swamps. "Kikyou!" he whispered to himself, as he finally had to slow down. Kikyou was finally in his sight.

He arrived just in time, so see Kikyou's body being pounded by half the soul that was ripped from Kagome.

"NO! DAMN IT!!" Kikyou screamed as the ball of blue light hit her hard in the chest, leaving her shaking uncontrollably on the ground. After awhile, Kagome got up shaky to her feet, tears of frustration and anger rolling down her face. InuYasha took a step forward, a twig snapping under his feet, gaining Kikyou's attention. She turned to him.

"InuYasha." she said coolly. Her eyes glaring daggers at him.

"Kikyou! Are you all right?" He asked walking up to her.

"You've come all this way, just to see if I where all right? You left Kagome, With your brother, who tends to steal her away?"

"You came back for me! You fought so you could see me again over a body!" his voice sounded joyful. Kikyou laughed darkly.

"Yes, InuYasha. I came back for you. A weak little hanyou like you," she laughed again. "InuYasha, when shall you ever grow up?" InuYasha looked at her hurt, pain filling his eyes beyond words.

"Kikyou... Why did you come back?"

"The shikon no tama you numskull! It was my duty to take care of it. I was not about to leave it by it's self in this world. Even if it did burn with me," Kikyou grinned wickedly. "Then... In the after life, I met someone I though I never would. I person I hated more then any one else in this whole world."

"Who was that?" InuYasha asked all most afraid of what was to come.

"My sister. Kagome. She wanted the body of the miko, which I wanted, so she could go back to get to her stupid mate. It wasn't till then of the ironic twist of fate, that I learned her mate was your elder brother. He fought over it. Our powers matching in strength. Had we been more then spirits then, I would have said we where fighting to our deaths for that body," Kikyou stopped, still grinning evilly at him. "Is this too much for you, my dear InuYasha?"

"No. Continue." InuYasha said all most like a trance from the story. He didn't know what to feel.

"But," Kikyou continued with her story. "Thanks for our fighting, it caused the mother of the body to go into early labor, trapping us both into Kagome's body, as the mother named her, as my sister Kagome used the last bit of powers to hint the name to the mother, just to anger me. We both trapped in Kagome's body, till the incident when I was brought half way into this clay. Well... you know the rest. So here I am. Truly reincarnated, standing in front of you," she grinned. "And your lover girl is being taken away right now as we speak, by your elder brother. Who is most likely going to make her his mate soon as possible."

"You witch!" InuYasha yelled angrily at her. "You fucking whore!" he yelled over his shoulder as he ran madly back. Her laughter ringing in his ears, till it was lost among the sounds of nature. 'If I really try, I might get there in time!' he thought running even faster.
