Chapter Five

"Are you certain that it was Naraku's scent?" Miroku questioned, looking at InuYasha with a strong stare.
"The two scents fade, but I am certain," came the reply.
"What is the alertness for?" Sango asked, Shippo following behind her.
"Naraku has found Kagome, and for some reason..." Miroku began to tell the tale of what was happening. InuYasha stood dead still looking at his own reflection in the water.
"We must find her then," Sango replied to Miroku, then turned to InuYasha and added, "She will be fine. Kagome can handle herself."
"It's not her I'm worried about," spat InuYasha, "It's that bastard with her."
"Let us begin our journey then."
"You're right Sango, we must leave if we want to follow there path," Miroku replied.
"I said nothing," spoke Sango softly.
"Then who-,"
"I am Kikyo, welcome to the River of-," Her eyes rested of InuYasha and she smiled. "Welcome to the River of Paths."

(Meanwhile)

"A few days ago Kikyo arose from the River of Paths. I still have not been able to identify how. InuYasha has felt her presence and his confrontation with you last night was probably the effect," Kaede began to explain as they walked.
"The River of Paths?" Kagome questioned, "What is that?"
"The River of Paths can bring your deepest desires to you, but only of those pure of heart," came the reply.
"So...InuYasha's pure heart has brought back Kikyo?" Kagome questioned once more.
"Who said it necessarily had to be InuYasha?"
"Then who brought her-," a silence came in between the two and Kagome froze.
"Yes, Kagome...you have brought back Kikyo."
