Chapter 6: Kikyou's Appearance

- - - -

"Huh? Kikyou? Where? I don't see her." Kagome blurted out as she heard Inuyasha call out the name of her past life.

Inuyasha just stood silently for a second, and then brushed it off. "I thought I saw Kikyou. Sorry, Kagome." He said apologetically.

As the two continued walking, they saw many stands. Kagome wanted Inuyasha to try his luck at the Goldfish stand but he refused. As the two toured the grounds, Inuyasha heard a quiet voice whisper in his ear. "Inuyasha." Kikyou's voice said.

Inuyasha turned to look around but didn't see Kikyou. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome asked.

"I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I swear that I just heard Kikyou's voice." Inuyasha explained.

"We're here to relax. Kikyou couldn't possibly be here. Just calm down and have fun." Kagome said.

"I just need some time alone to relax." Inuyasha said.

"If you really aren't feeling well, you could always go back to the house." Kagome said.

Deciding it best to part ways here, Inuyasha headed off towards the Higurashi Shrine. He entered the house using the key Kagome had given him. He curled himself up against the wall in the hallway. He always felt more comfortable lying against the wall as opposed to sleeping on the ground. He fell asleep relatively quickly.

As the night dragged on, he awoke to the sound of the front door opening. "Kagome, how was it?" Inuyasha called out.

But there was no reply. "Kagome?" Inuyasha called out again as he got up to see who had entered the house. Kikyou stood in the hallway. "Kikyou?! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!" Inuyasha angrily let out.

Kikyou approached Inuyasha without saying a word. Finally, she began to speak. "I reunited you with Kagome for a special reason. But I couldn't go through with it." Kikyou explained.

"What the hell are you plotting?" Inuyasha asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Kikyou stated.

Inuyasha thought about how the double standard that he held for Kagome. He would get mad at her if she acted like this, or if she was with Kouga. But Inuyasha could forgive Kikyou for anything. He always felt like this but could never admit it to himself or others. "So, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Inuyasha asked.

"When our hands met. I created something that I could use to get to you. I came only so that you, Kagome and I could be alone. Without worrying about others coming. As soon as Kagome gets here, then I will finally be able to..." Kikyou stopped as Kagome entered through the front door.

"Good, now the fun can begin." Kikyou said with a wicked smile on her face.
