Alright, I got a question about the vaginal ring that Kagome now has as her birth control. Now, I did not make up that and it is very real. It's called the NuvaRing, though I don't know if there is one out there that makes you have your period only four times a year, but I know there is a pill like that, so I kind of just combined the two to make it less of a hassle for Kagome and Inuyasha. The ring is made of flexible plastic that you insert once a month and it has the hormones inside that slowly release over time. It doesn't hurt and you can't even tell if it's there. If you still have questions look it up on the web.

Oh, and to the other question about if Kagome having a worse period from using birth control the answer is no. Birth control is supposed to help the pain if periods and lessens the time that a woman bleeds. Now, if you all have anymore questions please write back to me.

Chapter Twenty One: Come With Me Forever

Inuyasha finally traveled back to Kaede's hut for the night exhausted from fighting with trees all afternoon. I can't smell Kagome, where did she go? He entered the hut to find the old priestess serving supper to Shippo and Miroku. She looked up as he walked in barely able to hold himself up from fatigue and smiled inwardly to herself.

"Tell me Kaede, where is Kagome?" the tired boy asked.

"She was so startled by you today that she went back to her own era," the old woman explained. Sadness overcame the hanyou and his shoulders slumped more from distress than lack of energy. He dragged his body over to a corner and fell into a deep sleep. The other three just glanced at each other and said nothing, yet they were all thinking the same thing. They knew that Inuyasha was falling in love with Kagome.

Now that Kikyo has been revived I can have her like I've always wanted. Naraku harbored himself in a tree that was hallowed out. His thoughts wandered back to when he was still human. He could almost still feel the pain as the demons devoured him. His mind cleared and a lady's beautiful face showed through the fog of chaos. His memories played through his mind when she nursed him. Kikyo helped him and in return he started to love her, or in a better word, lust after her. An evil grin spread across his horrible face as he remembered the nasty things he wanted to do to her.

"I will have her, she will become mine," the demon rumbled. From his perch inside the tree he could see that Kikyo was near. He knew that this was not the time to take her, so he just watched the gorgeous clay woman. His senses told him that Inuyasha was coming into the scene also. He hid his power and scent when he knew Inuyasha was close enough to smell the malevolent demon. Naraku observed the two as the scene unfolded before him.

"Kikyo, I thought I wasn't going to see you so soon," Inuyasha commented to the dead girl.

"Oh Inuyasha, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I had to see you again. Please walk with me for awhile," the maiden pleaded of him. He quietly shook his head a yes and followed her with speculation. "Inuyasha, I know that we haven't always agreed or even gotten along all that well, yet I know that you still love me. Am I wrong about this?" The hanyou jerked his head up with the question penetrating his heart to the core. It took him a bit to reply, but she knew the answer was coming.

"Kikyo...I love you, I loved you, and I know that you will never leave my thoughts...I just don't know if I can be with you," the unsure silver haired boy said. The clay maiden stopped in her tracks and turned to face Inuyasha.

"I didn't ask if you would be with me," she snapped back with severity, "Do you even think I still love you? You disgust me." Her brows furrowed together with a menacing glare. A tear suddenly rolled down her cheek and her porcelain face crumbled. He gathered the trembling woman in his arms.

"I'm sorry Kikyo..."

"Don't Inuyasha! Please, I just need you. You must come to hell with me, my soul can not rest without you beside me," the fragile girl begged her love. He held the precious body closer to his own. He knew that he was going to have to tell her.

"Kikyo, please, I know..." Inuyasha began, but suddenly he was interrupted by the cold girl.

"Inuyasha, I know that you still love me. I also know that Naraku still wants me too," Kikyo stated. A surprised face appeared on the hanyou.

"What do you mean Naraku still wants you?" he almost screamed out. Her russet orbs watched his features turn to anger.

"Inuyasha, that is why he killed me. I wanted to be with you, yet Naraku, the part of him that was still part human, couldn't let me find happiness without him. He still lusts after me. I am going to find a way and kill him," the priestess confidently said. Her spirit filled with determination to kill the monstrous demon and take Inuyasha with her forever. "You can not stop me from my plans, so don't try to. I will come back for you when the time is right."

"Kikyo, I swear to you now that I will kill Naraku no matter what the consequence!" the bold dog boy swore out. Once again the dark eyes turned cold and her voice sounded with such ice.

"Do not get in my way. I don't want to collect you before I'm ready," she haughtily vocalized. After the maiden spoke the cold words her glowing snakes wrapped themselves around her and flew off into the night sky.

Oh Inuyasha, you so quickly vowed to kill me, but at what cost? Naraku wondered at the approaching dawn and knew that Kikyo was going to enlist the help of the demon slayer. Maybe he would capture his lust object after her talk with the other girl. A deep rumbling chuckle sounded from the monster's throat as he disappeared to return to his habitat. Don't worry Kikyo, I shall have you.

Inuyasha still stood and stared at the sky where the beautiful girl had vanished. I woke up with Kikyo's new smell in the air. I knew I had to see her, but what good did it do me? A scent teased his muzzle and brought his thoughts back to earth. He brain pondered a moment more on the deceased lover and then his body quickly made its way to the bone eater's well to the other girl his heart longed for also.

A tiny smile emerged on the fair girl's face as she went to meet another like herself. Lonely and afraid, she knew that she could find hope with this demon slayer. She stepped out the shadows of the trees and easily dodged the weapon that Sango threw at her.

"What do you want? Why are you here so early in the morning?" the demon slayer demanded after catching her boomerang.

"Dear Sango, I'm here to talk business. I know everything you need to," Kikyo tempted the girl.

"Go on then, tell me what I need to know," Sango spoke to the miko. A calm over came the exhausted girl as the priestess explained everything about who burned down her village and attacked her people until the sun came up high above the trees.
