~*~Chapter Two: An Old Promise Relived~*~
"Ki-Kikyo?" Inu Yasha gawked at the sight laid out before him. There stood his former love and his worse enemy. Why were they there? He took a few steps forward.
"Hello, Inu Yasha. Alive and well I see. I am glad." Kikyo also moved toward him. His face was a mixture of emotion. Anger topped them all, followed closely by disgust. 'What is this about?'
Naraku laughed lightly at the inu hanyou when he placed a hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. "I am not here to fight you, at the moment anyway," he snapped his fingers.
All Inu Yasha felt was an ice cold trickling on the back of his neck. It ran like water down his spine to the small of his back. Despite his haori and hakama, this strange feeling spilt and traveled down each one of his legs. He went weak and his vision was blurred. "What...the hell..." he said slowly. His limbs suddenly locked then released, sending him tumbling to the ground. He couldn't get back up off his stomach. Inu Yasha lay, watching with hate.
"Paralyzing mist," Kikyo said, eyes slightly wide.
"Why.... have you come?" Inu Yasha managed to say through his non-moving jaw. Naraku could attack anyone right now, and he would be powerless to do anything. What were these two doing here, together?
"You have annoyed me with your presence, then you died," Naraku explained bluntly. "Now, I want you gone again." As simple as Naraku made it seem, he knew it would be a hell of a fight. He walked away from where Inu Yasha lay in the dirt. Kikyo followed him.
"Is that all you want, you damn bastard?" He spoke a little easier, not quite fighting his jaw to move, but rather working around it. "You just wanted to tell me that you wanted me dead? That's a real surprise!" Inu Yasha tried to move, but it was useless. As long as Naraku had his mist on him, his body would remain immobile.
Naraku turned to face him. He had all but told Inu Yasha he was going to personally going to kill him, and the hanyou kissing dirt was mad. "You are ungrateful." Naraku narrowed his eyes. The ground around Inu Yasha began to shake violently. In the soft grass, cracks formed and widened. Heat rose from them and a red glow emitted, casting an eerie shadow on everything in the night. Inu Yasha looked at Kikyo and saw a smile planted on her face.
"I will not let Naraku kill you. I will do it myself," Kikyo brought her hands from her sides so they were clasped together in front of her. Her pale white skin was pink in the light and she slowly brought her hands apart, causing the ground around Inu Yasha become secluded in a round platform with him on top.

Kagome had just drifted off when she felt a slight shift in the floor. She looked around and noticed that everyone else was still in a peaceful sleep. She stood up and was hit with an evil aura. Something was happening. Silently, she grasped her bow and quiver and made her way out of the small hut. The wind was warm as it came from the north. It wasn't natural.
Kagome started running. The mark on her neck started to burn with pain. She was hit with a strong wave of it and she nearly stumbled back. 'Damn, Inu Yasha, what is going on?' Kagome ran further north. Worry was etched on her face. The pain from the mark was slowly but surely getting stronger as she reached a small area engulfed in heat and a red glow.
She saw Inu Yasha lying powerless on the ground, cracks in the earth, filled with lava surrounding him. Across the way, she saw Kikyo and Naraku, standing side by side. 'No,' she thought, 'why are they here?' The ground began to split further and another shot of hurt went through her. She watched her enemy's faces and saw that they didn't notice her. With all the molten rock and heat waves, they couldn't see her. The smell of melting earth must have covered her scent.
Slowly, she raised her bow and set her arrow. She closed her eyes and thought of what Keade had taught her before. 'Close ye eyes, child,' the elder miko's voice rang through her head as she did what she said. 'Concentrate on the aura. Nothing else but the aura. Do it child!' Kagome saw the dark aura surrounding Kikyo. It was bordered by one even more mysterious and dark. Naraku was standing behind her. She pulled the sting back, aiming through her mind's eye.

Shippo slowly opened his eyes to darkness. Something was missing. The warmth he had cuddled up in was now gone, which meant one thing. Kagome was missing; she had awoken. Where was she? Shippo sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes with his small paws. He looked around the room. Something else was missing. Near the door was a bare space. Kagome's arrows and bow were missing. This wasn't good.
