Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, in anime or manga form. But, that would
be pretty cool ^.^

Kagome woke up in Kikyo's hut. She looked around to see that Keade and Onigumo were still asleep. "Onigumo?" He didn't respond, so Kagome walked over and poked him in the arm, "Onigumo? Please wake up."
Kikyo's voice came from behind, "He's probebly just tired. I bet that you all had a hard trip coming here. Where are you going anyways?"
Kagome turned around, "Nowhere. Just wondering around, trying to see everywhere in Japan." the young girl could barely keep the fear out of her voice.
"Would you like to pick some herbs with me?" Kikyo asked. Kagome nodded and followed her out of the hut, and to a small garden. "I'll be right back." Kikyo said as she walked away from Kagome.
~*~*~*~
Inuyasha was sitting in a tree-branch when Kikyo came up to him, looking frightened, "Inuyasha! A child has been possessed!"
Inuyasha jumped down, "What do you mean?"
"A child died, and has been 'Possessed' by the Shikon no Tama! Please, you have to help me! I cannot attack the child, because of the Shikon."
"Isn't that the Shikon around your neck?" Inuyasha asked as he pointed to the small jewel that hung around Kikyo's neck.
Kikyo shook her head, "No, this is merely to keep the villagers from worrying, now go save the child's soul, and get the Shikon no Tama!" Kikyo pointed him in the kid's direction, and Inuyasha bounded off.
~*~*~*~
Kagome sat in the herb garden and waited for Kikyo to return. She was nervously looking around. 'What's this feeling? It's like something's wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Onigumo didn't wake up this morning, and neither did Keade. I don't know about Keade, but Onigumo never sleeps in past sun-rise. Why is today any different?'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a man jumped in front of her. He was about as tall as Kikyo, if not taller, wore all red, had two little dog- ears, and long silver hair. He looked her over, before squatting in front of her, "You don't look possessed to me."
"That's because I'm not possessed. I'm Kagome, who are you?"
"Inuyasha." He stood up, and picked her up by the back of her shirt. He lifted her to his eye level, and started to sniff her, "You don't smell dead either."
Kagome just stared at him for a while before talking again, "Uhm...can you put me down now?"
"Sure." Inuyasha dropped Kagome to the ground. 'Did Kikyo lie to me? No, I don't think that she would do anything like that. But, this seems like a normal kid.' "Hey kid."
"My name's not 'kid'. It's Kagome. Ka-go-me."
Inuyasha sighed, "Fine 'Ka-go-me' what are you doing out here?"
"Kikyo brought me out here, then left to...well, I don't really know what she left to do, she just said that she would be right back."
"Kikyo brought you out here, and then left?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
"That's what I said."
An arrow came flying out of, seemingly, nowhere and a voice rang from the woods, "Inuyasha, are you going to believe this child over me?!"
~*~*~*~
Kagome's eyes shot open, "I saw Inuyasha."
Onigumo and Sango stared at her. Then, Onigumo spoke, "So, Inuyasha was there?"
Kagome nodded, "You and Keade were sleeping, and Kikyo left me in a field. That's when Inuyasha came, and Kikyo came shortly after that."
Onigumo sighed, "I don't remember any of this. Now that I actually think about it, I remember nothing before waking up burnt in that cave."
"Kagome, do you remember any of this?" Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head, "No, I don't. But, none of that made sense, why would Kikyo have attacked me?"
"The jewel." Onigumo said, a look of realization on his face, "Kagome, you had the jewel inside of you when you fell out of the well for the first time, correct?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Because, I don't think that Kikyo ever had the *real* jewel. I think that what she had was an imitation of the Shikon no Tama, and that you had the real one all along. Then, when we were at the village, she sensed the real jewel within you, and tried to take it."
Sango spoke, "That doesn't make any sense! If Kikyo didn't want to have to guard the jewel why would she steal it in the first place? And why wouldn't anyone else have noticed that her jewel was a fake?"
"I don't know." Onigumo said. [That's because you are a fool.] came Naraku's voice.
{What do you mean?}
Naraku rolled his eyes inside of Onigumo's head, [Kikyo has the answers, not this girl. And I know just the way to get them.]
{What are you planning?!}
[Oh, nothing.] Naraku said as he began to take control of the body, much to Onigumo's protests.
"Then we shall ask her." Naraku said, making the metal clamps on both girls' shock them, until they passed out. ( I know that sounded stupid, but bare with me here...)
Onigumo sighed, {Why did you have to do that to Kagome? Or her friend, Sango?}
[Because, I need information, and Kikyo needs her soul back.]
{WHAT?! NO! There is no way that I'm going to let you do *anything* to Kagome?!}
Naraku chuckled as he picked up both bodies, and started towards the dungeon, [So, you care about the girl, do you? But dose she feel the same way, I wonder......] Naraku's thoughts trailed off.
~*this part starts just as the sun is setting, so it's a few minutes after she left the castle*~
Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kohaku were resting for the night, much to Inuyasha's disagreement, when Kagura appeared, "So, you're all still alive." She said as she opened her fans, "Pity, that just means more work for me." She said as she started to attack them.
Inuyasha blocked her 'wind blades' (I forgot the name) with his Tetseiga. Miroku was guarding Kohaku, as Inuyasha lunged for the wind sorceress. Kagura smirked, 'Time to get my freedom.' she thought.
Inuyasha reached a speed he had never thought possible as he ran towards Kagura. She raised her fan and swung it down, her deadly blades of wind flying towards the henyou. He sidestepped the attack, not bothering to stop or change course, and drove the sword into the wind demoness' gut. Kagura's eyes widened as her hands immediately went to the blade, and she sank to her knees.
"I don't have time for you Kagura, now where is Kagome?!" the henyou's voice only betrayed the emotion of anger.
"Like I'd ever tell you!" Kagura glared at him, despite the sharp object sticking out of her abdomen.
Inuyasha gripped Tetseiga's hilt, and twisted it one-hundred-eighty degrees before asking again, "Where is Naraku hiding Kagome?!" Kagura screamed in pain, but didn't answer. Inuyasha twisted the blade again, "I'm not asking again, WHERE IS KAGOME!?!"
Kagura was crying now, "I-I can show you the way, just stop! Please stop!"
"You had better hope for your sake that you can." Inuyasha growled, taking Tetseiga out of Kagura's stomach. He turned to Miroku, "Hey, monk, do have any kind of wards or anything to contain her with?"
Miroku was still in shock to see the skill and speed Inuyasha had shown, "I have some scrolls to make sure that she won't be able to attack us, but I have nothing to tie her up with."
"Uhm," Kohaku spoke up, gaining the other two's attention, "You could use my chain and cycle to bind her."
After thinking about it for a second, Inuyasha nodded. He took the boy's chained weapon, and used it to bind Kagura's hands to her sides, as Miroku put wards on her forehead, and hands. The wind-demon sighed, 'Naraku's going to kill me for this. Or maybe,' she smirked, 'seeing how much power the half-breed gained from the absence of the girl, he'll be able to kill Naraku, and I'll gain my freedom.'
"Everyone, rest up. We leave first thing in the morning." Inuyasha said, sitting down by Kagura, to make sure she didn't try to escape. Kohaku and Miroku nodded as they found good places to sleep for the night.
