Chapter 17: Next Day

- - - -

Inuyasha ended up carrying Kagome to her room and just held onto her until she fell asleep. He wasn't really all that tired so he went off to fall asleep against the wall in the side of the room. When Kagome woke up in the morning, she saw Inuyasha lying against the wall. "Morning, Inuyasha." Kagome said.

Inuyasha opened his eyes. "Ready to go back?" He asked right away.

Kagome just nodded and said "Let's get something to eat first and I need to take a bath. Then we'll go."

After Kagome took a bath and Inuyasha ate some instant ramen, the two set out for the Well and jumped through. Climbing out of the Well, Kagome called out "Anybody here?"

Inuyasha started sniffing. "Seems they're at Kaede's." He said.

Walking to Kaede's, Inuyasha and Kagome entered. "Hey guys." Kagome said before she even entered.

"Kagome!" Shippou called out immediately as he ran to Kagome.

Miroku, Sango, Kaede and Myouga were sitting in the center of the room as they had done countless times. "Even Myouga's here, huh." Inuyasha let out under his breath.

"Inuyasha-sama, there's something important that I wish to discuss with you." Myouga said.

"What is it, Myouga-ji?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha-sama, it's about Kikyou." Myouga said.

"She's gone, right?" Kagome asked.

"That's just it. Myouga-ji seems to think that Kikyou is out there somewhere." Sango said.

A look of surprise came over Inuyasha's face. Kagome stared at him, wondering what exactly he was thinking and what that meant between her and Inuyasha. Kikyou had been gone for months and to think that she could still be around. Inuyasha rushed over to Myouga and grabbed him.

"Myouga-ji, why the hell do you think Kikyou is still around?!" Inuyasha screamed.

"Because I am right here, Inuyasha." Kikyou said, emerging into the hut.
