Evil Curse of the Dark Priestess, Kikyo

He looked down at his companions from his perch in the tree and observed them each closely as if checking for something. Sango had fallen asleep leaning against Kirara next to the now put out fire. Miroku was fast asleep in a meditating position, staff in hand, and Shippo was cuddled up in Kagome's arms in her sleeping bag. Three soul collectors flew overhead and Inuyasha could smell the earth and clay nearby.

He leapt down from his tree, landing in a squatting position, and quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. Just to be sure, he crept over to Kagome's sleeping form and watched her for a few moments. He could hear her steady, even breathing and decided she was fast asleep before taking off into the woods after the soul collectors, thinking 'Forgive me, Kagome.'

He ran as fast as he could, following the soul collecters to their source, pushing aside branches from trees that got in his way and keeping his ears alert for any demons that might pose as a threat. Eventually he reached a small clearing where Kikyo stood, as if waiting for him. He approached her slowly, holding his breath. "K-Kikyo," he breathed.

'Inuyasha, no. Don't go with her, Inuyasha. NO!!!' Kagome snapped her eyes open. She had yelled the last word aloud in her sleep. Sweat was beading down her forehead. Shippo stirred in her arms and she placed him gently on her pillow. She got up and looked around the campsite. Sango was sleeping peacefully against Kirara and Miroku was muttering things in his sleep. You could hear a word or two every once in a while. "Sango... bear... my children..." Kagome giggled a little for it seemed like she was the only one who noticed the love that had developed between those two. She turned to look into the tree that Inuyasha had slept in that night and her breathing stopped when she saw nothing but an empty tree swaying in the breeze. 'Oh no. Inuyasha, you didn't,' she thought as she grabbed her bag and ran off into the woods.

She soon arrived at the spot where Kikyo and Inuyasha stood and gasped as she watched from behind a bush.

"So, Inuyasha. I see you've come back," Kikyo spoke with the same cold, emotionless voice as she had ever since she'd been resurrected. "Yes, Kikyo. I can't stand being without you! I think about you every second! I need you, Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted as he ran over to her and pulled her into a forceful embrace. Kagome gasped once again and her heart told her to run, run far away, but her legs betrayed her as she stood frozen to the spot.

Kikyo struggled against Inuyasha's hold for a moment before falling into his arms and letting him embrace her. "Oh, Inuyasha. I thought you had chosen that reincarnation of mine over me." "Never Kikyo. You're the only one for me. My heart belongs to you. I'll never leave you ever again." "Then why don't you tell that to my reincarnation over there, Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked with a smirk. Inuyasha's eyes widened with fear and a bit of horror. 'Oh no' he thought. "K-Kagome!?!?" he turned around to see her standing right there.

By now Kagome had come out of her hiding spot and was watching the two with wide eyes. 'No... He's going back to her. How could he?' She repeated the question over and over again in her head. 'How c-could he?' "Wait, Kagome! I didn't mean... I... I didn't..." He reached his hand out to her as his ears drooped flat against his head. 'Kami, I'm so stupid! I've really done it this time!'

Kagome shook her head and backed away a few paces. She could feel tears prick the back of her eyes and squeezed her eyes shut in a feeble attempt to keep them from falling, but only succeeded in blurring her eyes with them. She took one last glance at Inuyasha, who stood there speechless, as a solitary tear streaked down her face, before turning and taking off through Inuyasha Forest.

"Let her go, Inuyasha. Maybe now she'll realize you have no room left in your heart for her, and you and I can be together forever in hell." "I'm sorry, Kikyo. I have to go," Inuyasha replied as he walked slowly back to Kaede's hut. Kikyo smirked as she watched him leave. "Now is the perfect time to set my plan into action."
