They watched Inuyasha walk of then Sango turned to look at
Kagome. "Kagome..don't you think you're being a little harsh."
Kagome turned to smile at Sango. "Oh I'm not really upset. But he's been brooding about something and I don't like it. I figure if I'm away maybe he'll be to angry and annoyed to be upset and worried." Kagome laughed. "I need to get in some days of school anyway."
"Maybe that's just what he needs. I too noticed he seemed distracted." Miroku put in nodding his head slightly. "Have a safe trip Kagome. And come back soon. We shouldn't delay too long."
Kagome nodded. "Right." She climbed up onto Kirara's back and smiled. "Lets go Kirara." Miroku, Sango, and Shippou waved as she disappeared out of sight.
In the forest, Inuyasha stomped through the under brush angrily. Stupid Kagome and her stupid sit command. "You need rest too Inuyasha" He mimicked. "WELL I CAN'T REST 2 FEET UNDER THE GROUND KAGOME!" Inuyasha stopped walking and sighed. 'I'm fighting with her and she's not even here.' He sighed to turn and go back to the others when a scent caught his nose. He froze. Kikyou.
A scream pierced the silence of the forest and then she sound of a bowstring snapping. Inuyasha was of in a second. "KIKYOU!" He burst through the trees into a clearing. Lumpy, gray-black creatures slithered over the ground wrapping their snake like forms around Kikyou. Her bow lay broken on the ground beside her. Inuyasha moved in a flash his clash shining in the after noon sun as he slashed down, drawing a spray of sapphire blood from the creatures.
The pieces of the creatures littered the field and Inuyasha stood growling then calmed and dropped his blue stained hand slowly. He turned towards the woman half crouched in the grass. "Kikyou.." She hadn't appeared to him for months. Inuyasha moved towards her slowly then held and frowned as Kagome's face passed before his mind. Kikyou lifted her head slowly and gave him a smile fit...to chill the dead.
"Come Inuyasha.." She held out her arms and vines shot from the ground to entangle around his arms and legs. "Embrace me."
Inuyasha struggled against the thick plant overpowering him and dragging him down towards a slowly widening hole forming beneath his feet. "Kikyou! What is this!? What's going on!?!"
Miroku, Sango, and Shippou burst into the clearing suddenly. "Inuyasha!" Sango didn't spare a moment in flashing out her weapon and through it, the giant boomerang flying through the air. Kikyou moved, and in a flash brought up a sword no one had notice before and the weapon was sliced neatly in two, falling uselessly to the ground. They stared at her and Kikyou looked up and smirked turning the sword slightly to the side before sliding it neatly away.
"Stand back Sango!" Miroku stepped forward. "Win-"
"Don't interfere!" Kikyou's voice was harsh but soft and she snapped and a soft chiming rang. Sango braced but nothing else happened she glanced back at Miroku but he was standing as if froze with his hand clutching the wrist of the hand the processed the wind tunnel. Had Kikyou frozen him? But how? She was just a priestess. Kikyou turned back to Inuyasha as he sank down deeper. "I'll see you soon." And Inuyasha disappeared beneath the ground.
Kikyou turned and gave them a single glance. "Bring me the girl. Or he dies." She turned and held out her hand and a shimmering blue window opened in the air.
"Get back her you..." Sango ran after her but Kikyou had already disappeared the window closing behind her. "ARG! She got away!" Sango rounded on Miroku. "Are you alright Miroku?"
"Sango." Shippou cleared his voice. "I'm over here."
Sango blinked. "I know you are Shippou."
Miroku suddenly let out a high-pitched cry and fell down on the ground and rolled beating his fists on the grass. "No No No No No."
Sango stared. "Miroku..it's..not that bad."
Shippou cleared his voice again. "Sango..I am Miroku."
Sango looked at Shippou. "What?"
"It appears Shippou and I have...switched bodies."
Sango couldn't help it. First a smile twitched at her lips then spread across her mouth, and finally she fell into a deep laugh and Miroku and Shippou sweat dropped.

"Kagome! Kagome! Heel girl!" Kagome looked up. Inuyasha stood above her holding a dog chain that was connected to something. Connected to her? Kagome tried to stand but couldn't. A collar was tight around her throat and weighed her down keeping her on her hands and knees. "You haven't trained her very well." A soft voice from behind Inuyasha said and Kikyou walked up to slip her arm around Inuyasha's waist. "She can be a good pet. Can't you Kagome. Can't you be obedient?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome felt herself nodded. "Good. Lay down now. Lay." Kagome stretched out on her belly. She stared up at Inuyasha and gasped. His eyes were blank. Full gold without any iris or pupil what so ever. Kikyou grinned and stroked Inuyasha's head. "That's very good. Very very good." Kagome saw something shimmer around Kikyou's hand and another leash appeared there, this one attacked to a collar around Inuyasha's neck though he still held her own leash. A far of voice coming from some distance beyond Kikyou and Inuyasha spoke. "Her hold on you is through him. But are you strong enough to break that forge Kagome?" Apparently neither Inuyasha or Kikyou heard it for they made not a move. Kagome shut her eyes and shrieked. "SIT!!!! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" She felt each blow to Inuyasha at least 10 times over and she saw red as her head dropped and she drifted....
Kagome's eyes popped open as she shot up in bed. Her breath came in short jagged puffs. Moonlight spilled in through her bedroom window onto her bed cover and she stood to open the window to get fresh air. Just a dream. It was only a dream. She looked out towards the shrine and sighed. What are you doing now Inuyasha? Are you still angry or are you brooding anyway? It was all just a dream. Kikyou? Just a dream.
"You should know better." A light voice said and Kagome let out a shriek and jumped back stumbling over her bed and landing on the other side. She stayed there for a moment then looked up. A woman sat on her windowsill. Hair the color of hay hung short around her ears. Moon silver eyes sparkled with humor and seriousness at the same time.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked. The woman smiled.....
Kagome turned to smile at Sango. "Oh I'm not really upset. But he's been brooding about something and I don't like it. I figure if I'm away maybe he'll be to angry and annoyed to be upset and worried." Kagome laughed. "I need to get in some days of school anyway."
