Kikyo's POV

Foolish Inuyasha. He is still feverish. The potion I gave him prevents his wounds from healing properly. I need him, but I do not need him healthy. He will pay for what he did to me. I won't forgive him for leaving me time after time to stay with that stupid girl. That pathetic copy of me that everyone loves so well. No matter. She will be forgotten soon enough and all that matters is that I get Inuyasha to come to hell with me. He promised me he would never leave me and I intend to make sure he makes good on that promise. I won't let him choose that bitch over me. I WON'T!!! I'm not so sure that he would choose me anymore. His face grows soft when he looks at her. She is so dense. How could she not know what he feels for her? Perhaps she still fears that he loves me. Good. For he will love me soon enough. Even if it is through witch craft, I will feel Inuyasha's arms around me once more as I drag him to hell with me. I cannot wait for that day to come! I cannot wait for the day when Inuyasha becomes mine once more.

Kagome's POV

How did I get so behind in my studies?! I don't know the answers to any of these!! Why does it feel like I've missed so much school? Does it have to do with those memories that I can't get back? Maybe. I just wish I knew. This is driving me crazy. I'll never get into a good college if I can't even do the work now!! I feel like crying. "Kagome pay attention!!" Eri rapped me on the head with her pencil and brought me out of my daze. "Huh?" I mumbled. "Kagome its no wonder you're falling behind, you can't pay attention for five minutes!! What is so important that you can't pay attention? This is going to be on our Exams you know!" Oh no. I panicked. I had totally forgotten about Exams!! What am I going to do? Oh this is awful!! I'm so going to fail. Now I'll be up all night for the rest of eternity trying to cram for these Exams. Oh, whats the use. I'll never learn all this time. I bet if I didn't have all these gaps in my memory then I could so ace those tests. I still can't remember anything. I sighed heaviliy. "Inu, I am so going to kill you."

Huh? Inu? Who is Inu?

Inuyasha's POV

Kagome's hands are so cold. Why is she so cold? I shivered. She was making me cold too. Something is wrong. My wounds aren't healing. They should have been healed by now. And why can't I see anything? Everything is so blurry. And I'm sick. I've never been sick before. This is strange. Was it something that Naraku did just before I killed him? I tightened my grip on Kagome's hand. Ow. My head is throbbing like a bitch. I'll ask Kagome later. Kagome laid her hand on my forehead and murmured soothingly to me. I closed my eyes and slipped back into the dreams that haunt me.

Kikyo's POV

Damn it. He was almost lucid earlier. Perhaps he needs another dose of his "medicine" he mumbles in his sleep. I strain to hear what he says but to no avail. He cries in his sleep as well. Are his dreams that bad? I laid my hand on his forehead to calm him. I almost feel sorry for the bastard. Almost. I still haven't forgotten how he wasn't there. He wasn't there to protect me from Naraku. If only he had been there then we could have died together. We could have had peace but no, it was not meant to be. Damn that Naraku. After I kill my reincarnation, he will be the first to go. I let go of Inuyasha's hand as he fell into his fevered dreams again and rose to stoke the fire which was getting low. It amazes me that my ruse has lasted this long. Perhaps I really will be rid of that insolent brat that Inuyasha holds so dearly. Oh, that thought gives me much pleasure. How dare she even dare to exist!! The soul she has was mine first, and yet she thinks herself my equal. HA! That little brat? My equal? That is laughable. Even my little sister Kaede seems to prefer her company. Ah, but that old hag is not the dear sister that I left those long years ago. She has changed. She is no longer loyal to her sister. She wants me to rest peace and yet she denies me the one thing that will allow me to do so! She claims Inuyasha is Kagome's now. Never. He will always be mine. And once Kagome is completely forgotten, all will be as it should have been 53 years ago.

OK fans! I know it was short but you'll have to forgive me. Its really hard to come up with good plot advancements when you've got a killer migraine. I promise the next one will be longer. Please remember to read and review. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far I love you all so much!
