Chapter 18

They all posed for a second. They new they had to kill Kikyo but they never though about how they were going to do that.

'Kagome will have to be the one to do it.'

'Yes of course Miroku.' Kaede said.

'Well all need to help though.'

'Ye are right Sango.'

'How should she kill her?'

'I am not sure Miroku. What do ye think Sango?'

'I am an not sure... it will have to be planed fairly well though we can't have any injuries.'

'Of course but how can we plan something that she wont suspect?'

'I am not sure.'

As Sango and Miroku sat and talked about a plan Kaede slowly got up and went over to Kagome who was sitting by herself in a corner of the room.

'Are ye in not well child? Kagome looked up at Kaede. She had been lost in though. If she had to kill Kikyo she also wanted some way to do it without getting killed for she realized if she was also killed Inuyasha would be stuck to that tree forever.

'What if I am not strong enough?'

'Ye mustn't worry about that now child. Ye are strong enough. If you truly want him back and you truly desire to win you will.'

"O man this is boring and really scary at the same time!!! Nobody is talking to me and Kagome is in danger. I wish Inuyasha were here to yell at them for being so stupid. He would just stand up and say "Why are you guys worrying! I will destroy her with my Tetsiega." But he isn't here and he can't make them stop... I will just have to help get him down!!! Since I am not the oldest male demon I am the leader and I should help them in their time of need! WHAT am I talking about I am just a little kid!' With that he got up and wandered over to Sango and Miroku.

'No Miroku that wont work!'

'Why not?'

'First of all we don't know where she is so we can't sneak up on her in her sleep and you know as well as I that she sets a barrier around herself when she does.'

'What do you propose we do then?'

'I don't know... we could get her distracted with something and Kagome could shot her.'

'True but Kikyo would have no reason to be distracted by us so Kagome actually wouldn't be sneaking up on her she would be dead before she could draw her bow.'

'Hey you guys is there anything I can do to help.'

'No Shippo there is nothing...' All of a sudden the both turned around and looked at him.

'WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING, YOU ARE SCARING ME!!!'

'O nothing Shippo. You did say you wanted to help though.'

'I do but... I am too young to die Miroku!'

'It is all right Shippo, Kikyo will be long gone before she can even touch you. What are you thinking Miroku?'

'Well I was thinking that if we got Shippo to transform and pretend to be Kagome then... I am not sure what but...'

'I have got it if Shippo pretends to be Kagome then he can pretend to go back to Kagome's time. That way Kikyo will pull out the arrow and Inuyasha will be free!'

'True but remember that Kagome said if she went home Kikyo would seal up the well! We would have to have Kagome standing near by and kill her before she can do that.'

'True but if Kagome is near by then Kikyo would be able to tell that Shippo wasn't Kagome right?'

'It wouldn't matter Sango my sister is a priestess she can tell if something is a demon or not.'

'What can we do then Kaede?'

'I don't know Sango.' Their hope had been shattered. Why couldn't anything go their way for once? They had been talking for hours and had hardly noticed that Kagome was already in bed and the sun had set.

~ That night ~

"I can't sleep!" Kagome lay in her sleeping bag quite awake. She had gone to bed so early that she was rested already, "Inuyasha..." She was recalling the events that had happened the days before. She could see the hurt in Inuyasha eyes when she yelled at him, she could feel the pain when she though Inuyasha no longer cared for her, she could feel his lips against hers, and she could she his body pinned to that tree. All this kept flashing before he eyes. There was only one good thing in all that she saw. A tear rolled down her face as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

'Is it morning already?' Kagome awoke and looked around the small hut to find that there was nobody there. "Where is everybody?" There was a note on bright yellow paper stuck to her sleeping bag. It looked like a sticky note but she didn't take and notice to it. It said...

Dear Kagome,

We are off to try to free Inuyasha from the tree. You weren't awake so we left without you. I hope that you stay the hut this could be dangerous. We don't want anything bad to happen to you.

From: Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kaede

She sat there for a moment. Had the really left without her. She hoped that they were playing some kind of stupid joke on her but if they weren't she had to get to them fast. Her clothes were on in a flash and she was headed to the god tree.

'Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kaede! Where are you why did you go to kill Kikyo without me?' She yelled and ran as fast as she could to get catch up with them but it was no good she couldn't find them anywhere. "Maybe they are at the god tree!" When she got to the small clearing she stopped and starred at what she saw. Inuyasha was standing in he middle of it. He was free from the tree and looked as if nothing had happened to him.

'Inuyasha!!!!' As she ran towards him a smile crossed his face. 'How did you get down?! I am sorry! I love you! Don't leave me again!' He starred at her for a moment and was about to say something in reply but an arrow ripped through his body and he collapsed on the ground.

'NO INUYASHA!!!!' She was about to go see if he was okay...

'Take one more step towards him and I will kill you in a single shot!' When she turned to see where the voice had come from her eyes met a figure she knew all to well.

'Kikyo why are you doing this!!!' Tears were starting to well up in her eyes as all she could do was look upon Inuyasha limp body as it lay motionless in a pool of his own blood. 'I don't care anymore Kikyo kill me but I will at least be with Inuyasha!'

'That is where you are wrong he is coming to hell with me he isn't dead yet! You also may not care about you own life but I have something you might care about. She stepped a side and behind her there lay four motionless bodies. When she looked closer she could tell there were Sango, Miroku, Kaede and Shippo.

'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM!!!!'

'Nothing yet! They will die though if you make one move!' Kagome put all thoughts of ever moving from that spot to rest. Tears were now poring down her face. "Why is Kikyo don't this?" In her head see could hear voices. They were those of her friends. They were telling her to be strong and if possible leave their world and continue in her own. She new she could never do this so she stood where she was and waited for Kikyo to make the next move. She was too late though Kikyo already had.

'I told you that you would never have Inuyasha! Now die and you will never see him again!' With that Kikyo let an arrow fly. The dream she had was now coming back to her as the same feeling rushed back to her. The arrow sailed smoothly through Kagome's body and the last thing she saw was Kikyo standing over Inuyasha with a triumphant look on her face.

A.N: I was tempted to end it here but I figured some things needed to be said before that.

'NNNNOOOOOOOO' Kagome screamed as she sat up in her sleeping bag. Everyone in the hut was now looking at her. What had happened where was Kikyo? Why was she still alive? Hadn't she just been shot?

'Kagome child are you alright?' Kaede had walked over to her and had put her hand on her head to see if she was sick.

'But where is Inuyasha, why aren't you all dead? Has Kikyo taken Inuyasha to hell with her yet?' They all looked at her with confused eyes.

'Kagome.' Sango started to talk. 'It was a dream nothing has happened except it is a new day and we are going to see what we can do to get Inuyasha down.

Kagome was completely confused. How could it have been a dream it felt so ... real.

A.N: Well what did you think was it confusing? Hope you liked it and don't worry I don't plan to have Kikyo win. Reviews Please!!!
