Kagome, why? Why did you protect me? Why did you risk InuYasha losing you forever? Kikyo was lost in her thoughts. So lost, that she did not notice that Kagome had regained conciseness. "Kikyo please… take me to InuYasha." Kikyo's collectors started descending, descending near the Sacred Tree. There, Kikyo had taken what little kindness she had and bandaged Kagome's wounds. She was barely concise when she muttered, "Thank you." Kikyo's collectors slowly picked Kagome up. "I will take you to InuYasha, but you must keep this a secret." Kagome nodded.
"Hey has anyone seen Kagome!" InuYasha was starting to get agitated. Damn! It was just a stupid argument. Where is she? Man can she hold a grudge! "InuYasha, why don't you go out and look for her." Slap! Just as soon as Miroku finished his sentence he had a red hand mark on his face. "Pervert!!!" screamed Sango. "Fine, I'm going out to look for her. I might be gone for awhile." In truth, InuYasha didn't want to look for her because that would mean that she was probably in danger and he wasn't around. He didn't even take two steps out of the hut before noticing Kikyo's soul collectors. Kikyo! Maybe she knows where Kagome is. He ran towards the collectors, but when he got there he couldn't believe his eyes. Kikyo and Kagome, together!
Kagome was unconscious when InuYasha met up with Kikyo. "InuYasha, here." She (or her collectors) handed him Kagome. She reeked with the scent of blood and InuYasha could hardly bare to touch her. "InuYasha you should take better care of the things you cherish most." Oh Kikyo I'm… Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see InuYasha holding her. "InuYasha what-" She cringed. Her wounds still oozed with pain. She looked at Kikyo just before she disappeared. I remember now. Kikyo and Naraku… InuYasha looked at Kikyo, but she had left. He turned around to leave when he thought he heard someone talking, but he figured it was his imagination. When back at the hut, he, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku were trying to figure out what had happened, but Kagome just wouldn't talk. She had heard Kikyo telling her to keep what happened a secret and she intended to do so. Kikyo, you told me to keep what I said and did a secret. So, I promise you, it will be our secret.
