Chapter 1

Kikyo's point of view

Kikyo walked aimlessly through the forest. Her shinidamachuu left to find young maiden's souls to keep her alive. Her body was weak yet she continued her journey. She carefully sat down close to a tree, to recover what strength she had. As she closed her eyes, her mind recalled the recent events. She went to mount Hakurei to find and kill Naraku. She remembers the pain she felt when Naraku's tentacle pierced through her shoulder. She remembers falling down a cliff and into the deadly acidic river. That was supposed to be the end of her existence; sadly for her it wasn't. The river should have melted her clay body yet it didn't. Her soul didn't let her. She remembers opening her eyes; the pain was so much that she struggled to breathe. How strange, since she doesn't have lungs to breathe. She walked, towards a mountain, towards a waterfall where her body crumbled beneath her and fell into the water. When Naraku pierced through her shoulder, he poisoned her. She survived the fall yet her clay body couldn't protect her from the poison. She wanted it to end there, to close her eyes and welcome the eternal darkness. Her yearning to kill Naraku prevented that. The part of Kagome's soul that exists in her didn't let her fall in the darkness, it sustained her. How ironic that if she wanted to kill Naraku, she needed Kagome's help. Kikyo awaited for her end, Kagome wouldn't have saved her. But she did, Kikyo remembered opening her eyes to see Kagome healing her wound. She didn't know how to feel when she saw her, was she angry? Grateful?

Kikyo touched her shoulder, reminiscing how Kagome healed her a few hours ago. I walk this earth once again but I am not alive; I only exist. I need a flesh body to be alive. I need a heart in my chest and a heart beat. I would need lungs to breathe... My body isn't made of flesh, but of clay. I have no heart, no lungs. My body offers me no comfort, it is hard and cold. I am but an empty shell of my former self. I walk on this earth with an incomplete soul. I am trapped and haunted by my last moments on this earth. My life before that fateful day is insignificant. I only feel anger, betrayal and hatred towards Naraku and Inuyasha. My incomplete soul is corrupted and tainted by my emotions. My only purpose is to destroy Naraku. To end his life as he ended mine. After Naraku is gone, Inuyasha will go to hell with me. I was brought back to suffer this existence then Inuyasha will suffer in hell with me. That's what he deserves!

Kikyo closed her eyes; she needed her strength for the battle with Naraku. The sooner she was strong again, the faster her existence would end and things will be as they were supposed to be. She will go to hell as she should be and Inuyasha will fulfill his promise and come with her.

Chapter 2

Kagome's point of view

Kagome was deep in thought. Too many thoughts passed through her head, too many emotions she felt at the same time that she didn't know what to feel anymore. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara and Inuyasha gave her space and for that, she was thankful. She decided to save Kikyo, she knows she doesn't regret that; but then why did she feel so empty. She remembers when she was healing Kikyo that she saw a vision. Was it a vision or was it Kikyo's last memories? Was that why she hated Inuyasha? But if Kikyo knew Inuyasha more then me how could she believe that Inuyasha would hurt her? I can't understand that! I know with my whole heart, that when Inuyasha cares for someone, he is devoted to them. He will never stray, he will always be loyal. How could Kikyo not know that? Kagome sighed, these thoughts were getting her nowhere; she was going around in circles. She needed a break she told herself. She slowly got up from her place and went towards the waterfall to splash some water on her face. As she felt the cool water, she stared at the bottom of the lake where she found Kikyo not so long ago. When I was healing her and saw her memory, I felt her emotions. Why aren't they gone? Why do I still feel them? I can still feel her anger and her hatred, the bitter taste is still in my mouth. Kagome took a handful of water and rinsed her mouth. She did it several times. She needed to take the bitter taste away; she didn't want to feel Kikyo's feelings. No matter how many times she rinsed, she could still taste it. Why? Why doesn't the taste want to go away? Why are my feelings so mixed up? Why... why do I feel like this? When I touched Kikyo I felt the missing part of my soul. I felt complete again. Is this why I feel like this? Am I still feeling what Kikyo felt because I want my soul to be whole again? Well I don't want it if she filled it with hatred, especially towards Inuyasha... I ...

"Kagome? "

"Huh?" Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha standing close to her. He had a distant look on his face as he watched her. Why is he looking at me like that? Is he thinking about Kikyo?

"Are you ok?"

"... Yeah... I'm fine Inuyasha" why does he sound so concern...I'm fine... I'm perfectly fine... just a bit mixed up.

"Supper is ready!" screamed an anxious Shippo as he was starving. Before he stuffed as much food as he could in his mouth he was willing to wait for Inuyasha and Kagome to come and join them.

"We're coming" Kagome smiled. Ok, Kagome, stop feeling depressed, just enjoy being with the people you love Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome got up and slowly walked towards her friends. Inuyasha still watched her but she decided to not look at him. She was a bit tired and didn't want to get into a fight with him. The only thing she wanted was to sit down with her friend, eat supper and forget this day ever happened.

Suddenly, while walking, Kagome's vision became all blurry. She blinked her eyes to see clearer but it wasn't working. She started feeling woozy. Something's not right! Kagome lost the feelings of her legs and collapsed on the ground. The last she heard before fainting was Inuyasha's sweet voice calling out to her.

Inuyasha's point of view

"Kagome!!!!" screamed Inuyasha as he ran to her when he saw her collapse. He kneeled down towards her and held her against his body. Her eyes were closed, it looked like she fainted.

"Kagome!!!!" the group forgot their supper and rushed towards Inuyasha hoping Kagome was ok.

"Kagome!? Can you hear me? Come on... Open you eyes! Kagome!? Kagome!?" Inuyasha began panicking, Kagome wasn't responding.

"Inuyasha what's wrong? What happened?" a worried look Sango asked. Kagome was like a sister to her. Sango loved her with her whole heart. She tried not to show it, but she was terrified that something was wrong with Kagome.

Inuyasha looked up at his friend and he didn't know what to say. He knew something was wrong, he knew it. He sensed it. There was something not right with Kagome when the group found her, after she healed Kikyo. Inuyasha tried to brush it off, convincing himself that he was imagining things. Why didn't I listen to my instincts!!! I'm never wrong. God, Kagome, open your eyes please, if anything happens to you ... it will be because of me!! Please Kagome, please open your beautiful eyes and look at me, please!!

As is hearing him, Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She groaned as her head was throbbing. She looked up at Inuyasha and saw his eyes full of fear. She rubbed her temples with her fingers, trying to get up.

"Don't try to get up wench!" said Inuyasha as he slowly raised her himself. His hands were wrapped around her waist to support her if she were to fall again.

"Inuyasha, you don't have to scream, ok, I heard you... what happened?" Kagome said as she saw her friends watch her with worried eyes.

"Kagome, supper was ready and you were coming to eat and suddenly you fell down" said Shippo as he slowly approached her "are you ok now?"

Kagome looked at Shippo and then she raised and looked at all her friends. They all that that concerned look. As she looked at Inuyasha, the look was there too, but it looked worst, like he was feeling guilt as well. Kagome looked down to see that Inuyasha was still holding her waist, still supporting her. That gesture warmed her heart. Kagome was feeling a bit tired but she didn't want to worry her friends this much. She smiled a bright smile and said:

"I'm ok now, really! I think I just got up to soon. I'll prove it to all of you!"

Kagome carefully took Inuyasha's hand and regretfully took them off her waist. Her body was still feeling woozy but she tried to not feel it. She was ready to take her first step to prove to her friends she was alright. She took the first step and she felt fine, her feet weren't crumbling, she wasn't feeling dizzy. She slowly went to take her second step when she suddenly lost her balance. Inuyasha strong arms were wrapped around her before she even had the chance to fall.

"I got you Kagome" said Inuyasha. Kagome looked into his eyes and smiled at him, thanking him.

"Maybe we should rest here for the night?" Said Miroku

"No!" said Inuyasha

"Inuyasha... I'm just tired.... Rest will do me good. It might just be when I was in the water, I'll be fine tomorrow" said Kagome as she tried to convince Inuyasha

"No!" said Inuyasha again. His eyes glared at her. It was more then she was tired, and he knew it "you look pale, we are going back to Keade's and that's final! Everyone gather your stuff and let's go!!!!"

The group looked at him and agreed, all but Kagome. They slowly packed all their equipment and prepared to leave. Inuyasha and Kagome were left alone. Inuyasha still refused to release her from his grip.

Kagome was beginning to feel angry. She wasn't all weak and needed saving. She was just tired that all. She had a big day and healing Kikyo did this to her. Ok, so maybe she was feeling a bit dizzy and had several thoughts passing through her head but after a night sleep she will be ok. There was nothing to worry about. She was angry now. She didn't want to be treated like a baby, and Inuyasha had no right to treat her like that.

"Inuyasha, you listen to me and you listen good! I AM FINE!!!!! So tell them all to stop." Screamed Kagome

Inuyasha grip tightened around Kagome's waist when he sharply said:

"Kagome, it's my turn, you listen and you listen good wench! You are not fine and you know it!!! Since we found you, something has been wrong. We all see it, why don't you!!!"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. He was right, she knew he was right but she still didn't want to be treated this way. She just wanted this day to end. She took a deep breath and calmly breathed it out. She didn't mean to talk to Inuyasha like that, she wasn't angry at him, she was angry at herself. She is feeling all Kikyo's negative feelings towards Inuyasha and she can't separate them. She just didn't know what to do.

"... ok... we'll go back..." said Kagome

"We're ready when you are Inuyasha! "Said Sango as everyone was on Kirara ready to leave.

"Ok! Let's go!"

Kirara and everyone flew in the sky and left, hurrying to go to Kaede's village. Inuyasha carefully took Kagome and placed her on his back. Her arms were around his neck. She laid her head on his back and her tense body slowly relaxed. All of her defenses were gone and she knew something was wrong with her. She took a deep breath and smelled Inuyasha's smell. It smelled spicy and warm. It always made her feel safe.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered but knew that he heard her loud and clear

"Yes Kagome?" Inuyasha heard her fragile voice. She wasn't acting all tough now. She sounded so much like a wounded child, so innocent.

"What's wrong with me? "her eyes were slowly closing. She was feeling so tired, so spent.

"You will be fine Kagome, I'll make sure of that" said Inuyasha.

Kagome fell asleep as soon as she was on Inuyasha's back. He rapidly, as fast as his feet permitted, ran towards Kaede's village. They would find out what was wrong and fix it, Inuyasha swore to himself.

so? how's the first part. I just gave the introduction. The next chapter will talk about Kagome's decision and transformation. don't worry this is will a Inu/Kag story.
