--------chapter 6-----------

"Inuyasha stop it.....kagome he won't leave me alone!"yelled a poor helpless shippo.

"Shut the fuck up!"yelled inuyasha.

"Inuyasha...SIT BOY!"

It was after breakfast and inuyasha was picking on shippo as usual.Miroku and sango followed by kilala had left to gather some food and left shippo with inuyasha and kagome.Kaede later walked in.

"Hello my child." said kaede.

"Hello lady kaede."

"OLD BITCH!" mumbled inuyasha who was very crouchy because of the kitsune.

"shut up inuyasha."

"Or what?" he yelled at kagome in anger

" Or i'll s-i-t you again" He then quickly kept quiet remembering how painful it was to be sat.

"Lady Kagome,I need you to look for some special herbs in the forest of Inuyasha.They are for a poor sick child in the village."

"Sure,I'll go looking for them right now."

"Oh no you dont!" yelled inuyasha as he quickly grabbed kagome's hand as she was about to walk out the door.

"What do you mean i cant go?" she asked confused.

"Remember kagome,i promised you i would always be near you incase something terrible happened.Remember our dreams kagome,i can not let that happen to you no matter what the sacrifice is you hear me....i would sacrifice my life for yours." His voice cracked saying the last part as if he was going to cry.

"Inuyasha..." she placed one hand on his cheek and he looked into her eyes." i'll be only afew minutes...don't worry so much..i'll be fine...trust me." She then kissed him on the cheek and waved goodbye to inuyasha,shippo and kaede.She then made her way out the door and into the forest in search for some herbs.

"I see ye both have become very close since the first time ye met,is that not right inuyasha?" asked kaede.

"I suppose we have, haven't we? I mean before i hated her guts...but now it seems like i couldn't live without her."He was clearly not being himself.He was more open now with his sensitive side.

"I see...so ye have no more feelings for my sister Kikiyo..ne?" she asked curiously.

"What!!! i never did...but...to what you are getting to is that i have feelings for kagome then that is totally crazy...i mean it's not...but....OH SCREW IT!" he yelled frustrated and walked out of the hut leaving kaede speachless and shippo confused on the hut floor.

He then made his was to the nearest tree and decided to think for a while.

During this same time kagome was looking for herbs in the forest.She had found a field of flowers and decided to pick some up and bring back to the hut.

"Wow, they are soo beautiful.OOO a purple one."She picked up some flowers but soon heard a sound coming from behind her.She quickly turned around and found a young women standing there with a light pink kimono and dark pink hair holding sakura petals in her hands.

"Good day lady kagome,Picking flowers are we. Well they isn't a point in picking them anymore from where your going next."

"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

"My name...Asia....i know you....because i've been after you a while now and master naraku needs you so what he wants...he gets."

She then showed kagome and evil grin and blew the sakura petals in her hands in kagome's face.Kagome fainted from the sleeping power that the petals had and fell to the ground.Her body soon vanished in a green flash of light.

"Now that she is at naraku's castle, i can now bring in the double of kagome."

She then pulled out a wooden figure.She placed it out on the ground before her and pulled out a sword.She stabbed the wooden figure with her sword and pulled it out.The figure began to glow and soon before Asia was soon face to face with an exact physical copy of kagome higurashi.

"Now my little friend, You will listen to my orders and fufill them is that clear?"

"Yes mistress asia.I will fufill your orders." said the puppet.

"Now, you will go back to the village in where kagome and her companions have been staying.There you will play along with whatever they are doing.Do not draw attention to yourself or inuyasha will surely know you are a fake.Is that understood.?"

"Yes."

"I have also given you the power to detect shards incase InuYasha asks you if there is one near by.Do not forget to act some what as she would."

"I will mistress."

"Now be gone and do not fail!"

" I will not fail.Failure is not an option."

Asia then disappeared and the double walked towards the village.

Inuyasha was thinking in his tree when he suddenly smelt something.

'Kagome...she close...i can smell it.' He then hedded her way jumping from branch to branch.When he saw her below he jumped infront of her.He was surprised that she didn't get scared of sit him.

"Kagome....somethings different about you." she said smelling her scent.He could tell that there was a big difference in her scent.

"Whatever...lets just get back to the village alright." she walked past him.

'Whats up with her?'he thought walking behind her.

As soon as they walked back into the hut everyone was back except kaede who had left because kagome had taken too long.

--around 10:30pm--

Everyone was already in bed except for inuyasha who kept on thinking how strange kagome had been acting lately.

'What happened when she went into the forest? Her scent changed and the way she acts.....somethings wrong..i'll ask her in the morning.' He then sat in his corner and fell asleep.

---naraku's castle--

kagome opened up her eyes and found herself lying down on the floor.She got up and noticed naraku sitting at his usual spot deep in thought.

"Why did you bring me here naraku?"

"you'll see"

"What do you mean?"

"Just wait and see."

--Next morning--

"Bye kagome...and inuyasha....we'll be back soon!" waved sango,miroku,shippo and kilala as they left in search for some food for days to come.They were finally alone.

"Kagome...why are you acting weird?"

"what do you mean?"

"Your scent has changed alot and your acting different."

"Well i'm not acting weird."

Inuyasha thought ' I have a bad feeling about this....maybe i should ask her a question...she just might be a......spy '

"Kagome?" he asked grabbing her hand.

"What!?!" she said taking her hand away from his grasp.

"What did i promise you?"

"Promise?"

"yes,i made you a promise...what was it?"

"Well...umm....uhhh.....i forgot?"

"I knew it....your a spy." he backed away from her. He then streched out his claws and ran towards her grabbing her by the throat and pushing her against the wall.

"Tell me where kagome is or i'll destroy you and i'll make sure to make it very painful."

"As if i would tell you."

He then slashed her into two. Her sliced body fell on the floor and began to glow. All that was left was the wooden figure sliced in two.

Inuyasha quickly ran outside in search of where kagome was.

'Damn...i cant smell her scent anywhere.....how could i promise to protect her if she is now captured because of me.....if something happens to her i don't know what i'll do. wait a minute.....that scent.....the scent of the woman who turned me to stone....it's coming from there'

He quickly ran to a clearing which leaded to the edge of a very steep cliff.

'This...is the cliff..from my dream...this can't happen...now'

"hello inuyasha. i see you found out she was a fake afterall."

"Where is she?" he growled."If you lay a finger on her i'll...."

"you'll what...you can't even hit me"

"We'll see about that."
