Chapter 3: The Splitting of the Shards

Shippou came out from Kagome's legs and ran to Miroku.

"Miroku! Are you okay?" Shippou asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Miroku replied. Sango knelt next to Miroku.

"Let me see your wound," Sango said. She pushed up the sleeve to reveal three long gashes. Kagome came over with her bag and started to wrap it up. When she was done, Sango helped Miroku up. Suddenly Sango turned red. Slap!

"It was worth the pain,"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

It was nighttime and Miroku's arm was fine well thanks to Kagome's medicine. Kagome made an announcement.

"I need to go back home," said Kagome.

"For school?" asked Sango.

"No. I told you already. My mom is pretending I am home schooled so that I can stay here as long as I want. But I am running out of bandages and medicine,"

"If you are going to go, be back as soon as possible. And one more thing," Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Kagome, "Give me the shards."

"No! I don't trust them with you!!!"

"Well, I don't trust you with them either, so just give me the shards!!!" The two argued for what seemed like forever until Kagome screamed, "Just shut up and SIT!!" Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

"Kagome, why don't you split the shards?" Sango suggested. Kagome right now was tired of arguing and every idea, except giving Inuyasha all the shards, was fine.

"Okay, fine," Kagome said, "What about you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha got up and spat out earth.

"Feh," was all he said. So Kagome gave Miroku, Sango, and Shippou each five shards, six for Inuyasha, and seven for herself. Inuyasha was about to sit down and sleep when he got a whiff of a familiar scent.

Kikyo! Inuyasha thought. She was far away, about two miles. He could meet up with her before she got any farther away.

"Uhh….I gotta go!" Inuyasha ran off. Kagome stood up alarmed.

"Oh no! He is going to see Kikyo! I just know it!" Kagome ran off after him.

"Kagome wait!" Shippou yelled.

"Hurry! Who knows what Kikyo will do to him!" Kagome called back.

…………………………………………………………………………………….

Inuyasha had already ran very far off when the rest of the group started off. Kikyo, he thought, Where are you?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kagome, Shippou, Miroku, and Sango were having a hard time. Kagome and Shippou, who usually rode Inuyasha's back were making slow progress. Sango and Miroku would have ridden on Kirara, but Kirara was at Kaede's, healing. Finally, the group was forced to sit down and rest. They gasped for breath.

"There has to be a faster way," Kagome murmured.

Sango spoke up, "I'll go look for food. No need to run on an empty stomach," She walked away. Kagome looked at Miroku. He had caught his breath and his hand was twitching towards her now that Sango was gone.

Kagome slapped his hand away, "Don't even think about it, pervert,"

Miroku sulked, "Hmph,"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Inuyasha stopped. Up ahead of him were lights and soul stealers. In the mist of there things was Kikyo.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha couldn't get his eyes off of her.

Kikyo turned. "Inuyasha?" Inuyasha walked up to her as past images of her flew through his mind. The boat, the shrine, the grassland, the children she played with, her beauty, her smile. Inuyasha hugged Kikyo. But Kikyo pulled away. Inuyasha stepped back, confused.

"Inuyasha, do you still love me? Or that other foolish girl?" Inuyasha stood there and thought hard about that question. Who did he actually love?
