Previously on Let it Burn: "Nice Job Kirara." Sabre said petting her soft fur. "Kagome, welcome back." He looked back at Kirara. "Come Kirara, I smell chow." as he walked away he chucked the jewel fragment into the well.

Chapther Six: The Shock

Kagome sighed as she prepared for the talent show. She missed Inuyasha so much that she actually dressed one of her good-looking background dancers as Inuyasha! She smiled to herself at the memory of the guy being so creeped out. "I have to wear...ears ?" She remembered nodding and telling him, "Don't ask."

She put on her dress kimono top and her velvet black jeans. She tied her hair up in a ponytail and putting on the fang choker. Looking one more time in the mirror she got up from the dressing room and went to find her friends. She heard someone call out her name. "Kagome!" She turned around and smiled. "Oh, hi Yuki." Yuki looked excited for some reason. "I heard people talking about your storyline for the show! They are really excited! I think we might win." Kagome grinned. "That's awesome news, Yuki! We're going to be great, don't worry." And with that they went backstage to review their moves one last time.

Meanawhile...

Inuyasha climbed out of the well, looking around cautiously. It was dark here as well, and he looked up at Kagome's window. That's strange. Her light is usually on. The hanyou thought. He jumped onto her balcony and let himself in. He sniffed the air. "I don't get it. Where could she be at this hour?" He said, sitting down on her bed, crosslegged. He heard noise and went frantic, trying for a place to hide. Too late. Door opened. "Hey! Inuyasha! What are you doing here? Kagome's not home right now. We're leaving too." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Where is she and where the hell are you going?" Sota shrugged. "She has a talent show to do. We're going to see her. Wanna come?" Inuyasha thought for a while, but shook his head no. "Don't tell her I was here, okay?" Sota just nodded with a confused look on his face. Inuyasha waited until he saw Sota and his mother get into one of those contraption they call "taxis" and watched them rode off. He followed. He followed for 10 minutes, and leaped onto the roof of the school. "Hmm...she should be inside." He climbed through a window and followed the noises downstairs. Luckily no one seen him. He kept on wandering around until he entered a room full of people sitting down and staring at a stage. Kagome explained to him that it was where students like herself performed on special occasions. He wandered about what occasion this could be.

Backstage...

Kagome was nervous. She was pacing back and forth looking at the set. It reminded her too much of the SengokuJidai period for it had the Sacred Tree there. Which made her think of Inuyasha, which made her tear up again. "Kagome? Are you okay?" Ayumi asked her, looking rather worried. Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yes, just thinking." Ayumi grinned back. "Well, stop thinking cause we're on right now!" Kagome nodded. She called to everyone. "Alright everyone. Take your positions."
Silence. The sound of curtains opening. Kagome stood in the middle of the stage looking like a confused girl, that was rather upset. She walked over to the cardboard tree, and placed a palm on it. She began to talk outloud like it was her own thoughts...which they were. "He will never understand how I feel about him. He loves another and he doesn't want me around. But this is place where I have lost my heart. I lost my heart in the Deep, Deep Forest." guitar music followed and she began to sing.

"Fukai Fukai mori no oku ni
ImaMo Kitto
Okizari ni shita kokoro kakushite'ru yo
Sagasu hodo no chikara mo naku, tsuratehateta
hitobito wa eien no yami ni kieru

Chisai mama nara kitto, ima demo mieta ka na

Boku-tachi wa ikiru hodo ni
Nakushite'ku sokoshi zutsu
Itsuwari ya uso wo matoi
Tachisukumo koe mo naku

Aoi Aoi, sora no iro mo, kidzukanai mama
sugite yuku mainichi ga kawatee yuki
Tsukurareta wakugumi wo koe ima wo ikite
Sobitsuita kokoro mata ugokidasu yo

toki norizumu wo shireba mo ichido toberu darou

Boku-tachi wa, samayoi nagara
Ikite yuku doko made mo
Shinjite'ru hikari motome
Arukidasu kimi to ima..."

Meanawhile...

Inuyasha stared at Kagome shocked. There was a guy coming up behind her...DRESSED LIKE HIM!!! He growled underneath his breath. He practically lost it when the guy began to walk over to Kagome. "Oooooh no. If anyone is going to come up to Kagome that will be me!" with that he sneaked backstage without anyone noticing and practically stashed the guy in a closet. He straightened himself up...the song was ending and apparently he was supposed to hug her. So he walked up behind her and hugged her around her waist, holding one of her hands in his. He felt her tense up a bit. He smiled slightly. She looked up at him, and he saw her brown eyes widen with utter shock. She turned to face him...still looking surprised. As she sung the last words of the song, he embraced her. He felt her arms wrap around his neck drawing him closer. He heard applause but he ignored it. People were whistling and shouting and all of them were clapping standing up on their chairs. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and started leaning in...and she returned the movements, but her friend hugged both of them. "We did you guys! By the way, nice touch on the costume Hokaru!" she said to Inuyasha. Kagome surpressed a giggle. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I'll see you later Kagome. I've got to help Sabre defeat Naraku." Kagome stood there with tears in her eyes. "Wait...you came all the way here, got my hopes up and now you're just going to LEAVE??" Inuyasha nodded. "I have no choice. I'm still sticking with you staying here for your own safety. I've got to go." and with that she watched him leave.

Inuyasha jumped through the well and climbed out in his own time. Sabre was waiting for him. "Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha muttered something that awfully sounded like "Fuck off." Sabre rolled his eyes. "She'll be back." And the two friends headed off towards Naraku's castle. But what Inuyasha didn't realize is that Kirara knew where they were headed...and that she was still by the well.

Kagome sighed as she looked towards the well. She was back at home, staring at the emptiness of the well. Then her Jewel shard senses throbbed. " Huh?" She jumped down and began searching around. Finally she felt something small and hard. "A jewel shard?" and instantly she was transported where she belonged.

She heard a mew and looked up. "Kirara!" She said and climbed out of the well. The demon stood in front of her prepared for lift-off. "Take me to Inuyasha girl!" she said as she was handed her bow and arrows by Miroku. "Miroku...why aren't you coming?" Miroku sighed. "Kagome...I figured that Inuyasha and yourself need time together. That's what Sabre-san told me." She nodded smiling. She saw Sango come up behind him. "Kirara, take good care of Kagome." The demon nodded. And they flew off towards Naraku's castle.

Inuyasha pulled out his sword and transformed it. "TELL US WHERE KAYURA IS YOU BASTARD!!!!" he shouted to the baboon like silhouette of Naraku. "Heh. First you hand me the jewel." Inuyasha growled. "Over my dead body!" Sabre cracked his claws in anger. "You'll pay for everything you've done to me, Naraku. And to Kayura and Inuyasha!" With that he slashed the outfit of Naraku. His true look exposed. Naraku however, laughed and went after Inuyasha knocking him into the wall and outside. He hit his head pretty badly, but that didn't stop him from getting up. "If this is how i die...i'll make sure you're dead first!" But Naraku had him pinned. He was about to expose his miasma when a purified arrow hit him in the back.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM, NARAKU!!" a female voice...Inuyasha looked dumbfounded.
