Kagome saw the village coming closer towards her, as she kept on putting pressure on herself to run faster than she could. She could see the smoke, and hear the people from the village as she began to feel her legs tired. "I'm not looking back! I don't know what that demon wants from me, but I don't care! I don't understand how I got here, I'll I remember is drowning. That demon couldn't have saved me!! Doesn't matter once I find away out, I'm never coming back here ever!! She had her arms at her sides, and her legs kicking up, as her ivory skirt flipped from the wind underneath her.

Inuyasha was far behind with the dirt in his face, and through his lungs lifting himself from the hard ground seeing Kagome in the distance. " Damnit, she had to say that again! If she thinks staying at that village is going to ensure her safety she's got another thing coming!" Inuyasha began to lift himself back from the ground, as he began to see that dark clouds coasted over the small village. "I have to make sure Kagome safe! If she can't remember anything, she won't be able to remember other demons either!"

Kagome kneeled when she had gotten to the foot of the village, catching her breath leaving the demon that chased her, behind in the dust. She had a grin on her face as she breathed in heavily, seeing small pathways and fields and small lakes surrounding the area. "That demon won't be able to take me, not when I'm safe enough here. I don't understand really why he knows so much about me." Kagome pondered, as she grinned and ran down the pathway into the square of the village. She tried getting people's attention, but they only stared at her as an outsider as she finally placed her foot down. " Can you help me? There's a demon coming this way!!!" She shouted as everyone had stopped for a moment, and kids stopped playing when they heard the word demon. A local man looked at her suspiciously, the way she was dressed the clothing no one had seen before. "A demon?? What kind of demon?" Kagome sat down in a small part of the hunt and explained the long details, as they were interrupted by a women's voice.

"Does he appear as a dog demon?" The women's voice came from outside the door, as voice that suddenly brought chills to her spine. Kagome's eyes drifted over towards the door as young women, with long black hair and pale skin with no emotion on her face. Kagome swallowed looking at the mysterious lady as she quietly walked in. Kagome felt like she had met her before, but no way she could of. "Come to think of it he was a dog demon, how did you know that?" Kikyo gave a long glare at Kagome, who thought she was dead but was found revived but only with a forgotten memory. Kikyo gave a cunning smile with a soft voice. "I'm surprised she alive. I thought she was.Now she won't remember who am I, or Inuyasha so that's all the better to kill her, when she gains my trust. Listen, no demon is to be trusted make sure you remember that, Kagome."

Kikyo quietly disappeared out of the distance, as Kagome felt chills up her spine and her brown eyes quivering from the mysterious women who also knew her name. Kagome looked at her, with fear already in her eyes. Kagome quickly ran out from the hut and tried running after her, as night began to fall. Kikyo just stood in front of the water as Kagome quietly went behind her, as Kikyo had her in the corner of her eye. "What do you want now?" Kagome quivered as she stood nervously to the side of the dead priestess. " How, did you know my name??" Kagome wondered as Kikyo twirled her fingers through the water. Kikyo grabbed the small flowers arranging them in her hands softly, while Kagome stood puzzled like everyone knew her, but she didn't know them. "That isn't an issue how I know you. Come sit down, and explain to me about this demon."

Kagome gulped as she softly sat beside her, and she had a odd feeling something wasn't right about her from the start. Kagome felt Kikyo's skin rub against her, feeling only coldness as though she was dead. "He appeared a human, but also with dog features, correct?" Kagome swallowed again and looked at the ground, and nodded to her. Kagome stared wildly at the shikon necklace she had around her neck, the very one that once hung from Kagome's. "That jewel, isn't that the Shikon No tama?" Kikyo grinned and laughed knowing that Kagome didn't even recognize the vary jewel that once hung around her own neck.

"I'm the priestess that protects this jewel. Any demon you meet shouldn't be trusted, even that half demon. He's dangerous Kagome. No demon is worth to be trusted half demon or not." Kagome placed back her long black hair, almost felt like she recognized Kikyo in a instant. Kagome began to narrow her eyes at her trying to remember where she was from, but only out spoke a name. "She's so familiar, just like that demon was. Kikyo..." She quietly muttered as Kikyo turned her head towards Kagome, with Kikyo's violet eyes lighting up angered, when she heard Kagome suddenly began to remember her name. Kikyo began to feel the minute she had said her name, she souls were already were disappearing. "I've got to kill her, before she actually remembers everything. Once she does, she be able to have the abilities like she had once before, I'm not letting her do this to me."

Kikyo viciously grabbed Kagome by the neck, as she felt her cold hands on her warm neck feeling sharp pains. "Don't you ever dare trust a demon? Or fall in love with one." Kagome looked sharply in her eyes as burned with anger, as she preferred to Inuyasha, who was rapidly trying to find Kagome.

Inuyasha was already at the foot of the village when he saw Kikyo's soul stealers, that made his eyes open with fear, as his yellow eyes could vision Kagome with Kikyo ready to injure her, or worse kill her without even knowing who she really was. The blue auras lit up the village, as Inuyasha began run. "No, Kikyo's here.. That means, she going to try to kill Kagome!!"

Kagome felt more pressure on her neck, as Kikyo just stared right through the reincarnation, with anger and hateredge knowing that she couldn't stay around Inuyasha no matter what. She would likely regain her memory, and steal Inuyasha back and that wasn't something she was ready to slip through her fingers once again. Kikyo felt shortness of breath, as the souls were slowly departing from her, her skin began to turn blue. Kagome looked at her reflection, and gasped that only she could see herself and not Kikyo. "Her reflection.. it's, it's not there!!"

Kagome began to feel chills up her spine, as Kikyo began to await a demon that was closely coming towards the village, a creation that Kikyo had made, to destroy her. Kagome felt the ground shake uncontrollably, as a huge serpent demon began to trash the village, only hearing screams and people taking cover. "I've gotta get out of here. I thought I was safe here but I'm not!!!"

Kagome saw Kikyo fall to the ground, and over head the demon's eyes gazing at hers as Kagome felt the breath upon her as she trembled. "Kagome, run as fast as you can. You won't get too far until your dead."

Kagome felt fear, and tears rolling down her cheeks as she began to pick up her feet, as Kikyo stood in the distance with a cunning smile on her face. Kagome felt her heart began to race, as she could see the demon in the corner of her eye, as she began to run faster. "I need to get out of here! For all I know I'm going to die!!!" Kagome felt herself running until she felt her legs fly up, falling back into a unknown pit, seeing Kikyo not so far in the distance as Kagome looked at her.

"Please help me..." Kikyo just stared at her motionless as she reached her hand and stared at her with a cunning smile. "You've left your life in my hands..." She began to feel her fingers slip, as she whispered in Kagome's ears. "A mistake your going to take to your death.." Kikyo just grinned at her, as Kagome felt her fingers slip and began screaming to only saying one name,

"Inuyasha..."
