'Inuyasha...' was Kagome's last thought before she collapsed. Kaoru had just cut her a few times with the knife she was carrying.
The rest of the Inu-tachi were starting to get worried about Kagome since she had been gone so long. Sango was about to go after her, but Miroku stopped her.
"They could be having a special moment alone together!" he said and winked at her.
She slapped him and blushed furiously. "You think in a sick way..." she mumbled.
in the forest
Inuyasha couldn't believe it. He was practically lost. He had no clue where he was. He tried sniffing out a scent to get back to camp, but no luck. He breathed heavily to try and calm down. He was getting really mad.
What if the speechless girl had attacked his friends? She was probably armed with plenty of weapons. Plus, since she must have been from the future, she had technology that they didn't know of, therefore couldn't fight against.
It was weird. There weren't any youkai in Kagome's time. So how the hell did she live there? And why did she look like him? He didn't get it.
(A/N- typical Inuyasha. Did you ever notice he can't figure anything out? It actually surprised me when he counted that one time... anyway, back to the story)
Oh great. Goody gumdrops. He heard a stick break behind him. Was it the girl again? Or a different demon that wanted him dead? Whoever it was made a mistake by being clumsy and breaking that twig.
He turned around to come face to face with the miko, Kikyo. He should've known. He could smell her rotting carcass anywhere. He figured he didn't smell it since he was thinking too hard. Really hard, in fact, his brain hurt.
All thoughts were flushed from his small brain (A/N I'm sorry! I'm not an Inuyasha hater, its just fun for me to pick on him since he can't put two and two together. And come up with twenty two. Lol.) and he was focused on her unearthly beauty.
"Kikyo... what are you doing here?"
"I was just passing by."
"This might sound stupid, but I'm lost. I need to find a way back to the Village of Kaede. Can you please help me?"
"Fine. That is where I grew up, so I know the way." she started to walk off.
He followed and as they walked, they made small talk.
Outside of Camp
Kagome was conscious again. She was really hurt though. She tried to get up but couldn't. He bleeding stopped, but her shirt was soaked in her own blood. She would yell for her friends, if her voice worked. She was so scared. What if a demon took her away and ate her for dinner?!
To make matters worse, she started hallucinating. She thought she saw Inuyasha and Kikyo walking towards her. Their mouths were moving, but she couldn't hear them. Then Inuyasha starting running towards her.
Wait, this wasn't a hallucination. She could feel his warm hands pick her up. She could feel his heart pounding with fear. She fell asleep again, right before they got back to the Inu-tachi.
"See Miroku! We should've checked on her! I knew they weren't sharing a 'special moment,'" Sango said and smacked him lightly.
"Who did this to her?" asked Shippo.
"If I knew, I'd be out slaughtering them right now!!" said an exasperated and scared Inuyasha.
And they all kept yelling at each other for a while. But soon enough, they fell asleep.
Outside, Kaoru watched from a dark tree. She reached into a pocket near the bottom of her pant leg and grabbed five voodoo dolls.
"This should be fun!" she whispered to herself. She hopped down off the high branch and quietly entered the hut. She cast a small witchcraft spell to keep all of them asleep while she did her dirty-work. She took a hair off of each of them and tied it to the voodoo dolls. She also took out a small knife and took a small piece of their clothes.
She could've killed them right then and there, but she didn't want to. She wanted them to suffer. She stepped out and ran away from the village, and into the forest.
