A few days have passed in the feudal Japan World with the Inu-gang.
It's a quiet afternoon, Miroku, Kaede, Shippo, Sango, And Inuyasha are all in Kaede's hut, lazing about.
"Inuyasha, Are you sure Kagome will be alright by herself?" Sango asked the sleepy half demon.
"Of Course, She is just going into the woods right next to us to pick a few herbs. What's so dangerous? I'll hear her if anything happens." Inuyasha replied, trying to cover up his own pit of worry that seemed to be spreading.
(With Kagome.)
Kagome is humming to herself on her way back to kaede's hut. She is carrying an armload of herbs as she skips along the soft blades of green grass.
"Huh?" Kagome says, stopping suddenly and dropping a few herbs as she looks around the forest.
"I could of sworn I felt something tagging behind me." She told herself out loud.
"You did." A female voice from up in the sky told her.
Kagome gasped as she somehow remembered this face, those soul streamers gliding about the young woman's body, bringing her closer to the ground until she was right in front of her.
"Ki-Kikyo!" Kagome spit out, her mouth gushing before her mind.
Kikyo stared at the girl for a bit, then suddenly realizing an familiar face frowned and barked out,
"Tell me child, are you not the offspring of Inuyasha and that reincarnation of mine Kagome?"
"I AM kagome!" The little girl squealed as the soul streamers wrapped themselves around her body and lifted her up to face Kikyo.
"Don't lie to me!" Kikyo yelled at Kagome, the Soul streamers squeezing harder around Kagome's little body.
"You are wimpy and pathetic, just like your mother. And I shall show her the same pain she showed me,making Inuyasha resist my offer to hell to stay with her!"
Kikyo lifted her hand up, pointing a finger at Kagome, a strange light pouring from her and then yelled out,
"Die!"
"It-h-hurts. Inu....yasha, somebody help me!" Kagome desperately cried out.
Suddenly a dog's pained cry and Inuyasha's heart beat over flowing his keen protective nature emitted itself about him, making him jump suddenly and run out of the hut, off to the direction of Kagome.
He could smell her, and he could smell trouble.
"Inuyasha! Were are ye off to in such a hurry?" Kaede called after him.
"Look! Kaede, those are Kikyo's Soul streamers!" Miroku shouted. Pointing to the sunseting sky as the dragon like things floated about towards the woods.
But, Inuyasha didn't notice them. He was too fixed on Kagome to even look up.
"Just hold on Kagome, I'm coming!" Inuyasha told her in his mind.
Bounding through a patch of bushes he plundered out into the open where Kikyo had Kagome held captive with her soul streamers as she continued to harm her with that strange light coming from her finger.
"Ki-ki-Kikyo? Why are you doing this?" Inuyasha stumbled, completely dumbfounded as he tried to look her In the eye.
"Inuyasha, have you come to save your offspring? You know she is just as pathetic as her mother." Kikyo replied coldly.
"Mother." Inuyasha thought, remembering the words Kagome's mother had told him.
She had told him to protect her little girl, and that is what he was going to do.
But how? He didn't want to hurt Kikyo. He couldn't.
An idea inspiring him, Inuyasha lunged at Kagome, his claws slashing away at the Soul streamers clamped around her.
"Inu-yasha." Kagome said faintly as she fell to the floor. His name and they way she said it making him remember his Kagome, The kagome he loved and wanted back more then ever.
He would never have her back if Kikyo killed her. But still he could not choose to kill Kikyo either.
"But I made a promise to her mother, a promise to Kagome, a promise to the others, and a promise to myself to never let anything bad happen to her." Inuyasha Said aloud, before he was even realizing what he was doing as he lashed out his sharp claws at Kikyo, Standing their dazed and surprised as blood squirted at him, Part of Kikyo falling to one of his sides and another part to his other.
The words goodbye parting on Kikyo's lips, but he could not hear. Could not feel.
"What.....What have I just done?" Inuyasha slowly repeated, his eyes glossy as he looked among the already dead girl he had loved so much. Loved, not he has loved. Had loved. He silently told himself.
Inuyasha jumped and turned around as a little girl's voice caught his attention.
"How could I forget you." He said to her as he scooped her up into his arms, walking past Kikyo's dead body as it turned to ash, then slowly blew away.
Inuyasha stared at it in wondermeant for a while, till it dawned on him that she really wasn't real. She was bones and ash.
"And I'll never forget you." He told the bare spot where she once stood.
"Inuyasha! What happened?" Sango shouted, running out of the hut as she saw Inuyasha caring Kagome, his head down with his bangs covering his eyes.
He placed Kagome in Sango's arms, then looked up to Sango, clear silent tears stained his face.
"I killed Kikyo." Was all he said before jumping up to be alone on one of the high tree branches above the hut.
It's a quiet afternoon, Miroku, Kaede, Shippo, Sango, And Inuyasha are all in Kaede's hut, lazing about.
