Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long to update, but I was working on some other stories and I was a little stuck with this one.

(We left off when Kikyou and Inuyasha were together and he killed Bankotsu. This is Kagome's point of view, going back to when Inuyasha ran off to find Bankotsu and exact revenge. I hope it's not too unbearable!)

-Kagome never listened to Inuyasha when he became stubborn like he was. So of course, she had followed him around the mountain. It was difficult to trace his steps as fast as he was, so she used her sense of the Shikon No Tama to lead her to Bankotsu, hoping to find her beloved hanyou there.

I can't believe he kissed Kikyou, the girl thought as she hurried along. Isn't he dead? Well, she reasoned, Kikyou was dead and she kissed Inuyasha. Kagome felt her blood pressure rise as she remembered that night.

"Damn her," Kagome muttered. "She's always interfering in me and Inuyasha's life. Why can't she leave us alone?" Then she sighed. Now, I sound like Kikyou.

"Is it possible that Kikyou enjoyed Bankotsu's kiss?" She wondered. "I know Inuyasha would never admit that, but to me it seems like they have so much in common. I mean, they both are walking the earth undead, they both are very strong and powerful, but isn't he working for Naraku?" Kagome thought very hard. "Kikyou would never go for that. But wait-" She remembered a confrontation they had with the Schichinintai only a few days ago, in which it had been implied that Bankotsu was just using Naraku to obtain the shards and stay alive.

"How sad," she said, continuing her monologue, blindly following the sense of the shards. "People think that they can become stronger with the shards, but they always end up on the bad side of it. Even if Bankotsu thinks he can outwit Naraku, he wouldn't be the first-or the last- one to try."

Kagome wished that Kikyou would end up traveling and developing a love interest in the young leader. Then I could have Inuyasha all to myself, she thought cheerfully.

Then she stopped dead in her tracks. Waterfalls and caves surrounded her, and the Shikon Jewel was very close. Looking around, the throbbing pulse led her to a large waterfall in front of a hollow opening. Is Bankotsu there? She wondered. Inuyasha can't have made it here yet, I would hear him fighting or yelling.

Looking around again, she noticed that she was far away from the direction the hanyou had taken. He must have thought that Bankotsu would still be in the same area as before.

"Oh!" Kagome gasped softly. She heard voices. Creeping farther to the opening of the cave, she strained to hear against the thundering of water.

A man's voice… "I will…" It was Bankotsu!

Kagome could hear a slight scuffle. Is he in here by himself? Then, a woman's voice came softly, Kagome could barely hear it.

"Kudasai." That was Kikyou! She thought wildly. Saying 'please?' And it definitely didn't sound like she was begging for her life.

"Are you as innocent as you appear, miko?" The young warrior said lustily.

Kagome flushed. What are they doing in there?

Sounds of a woman making soft moans made their way out to where Kagome was standing. "Is that Kikyou!" She whispered. Well, I guess she is a woman and everything, but she's dead!

"Does this mean that the powerful miko is surrendering to me?" Kagome didn't think she could flush any harder at Bankotsu's words. I wish they'd stop, this is so embarrassing!

Well, why don't you leave? She berated herself. Inuyasha will be here soon, and I'll need to support him.

Inuyasha!

"Oh no," Kagome breathed. "He'll go crazy if he sees this! And I don't know what he'll do if he knows I'm here!" She blushed again. "He'll think I'm some kind of pervert, standing here listening to Kikyou-"

But she couldn't pull away from the waterfall-hidden cave and the scene inside. Although she couldn't see anything - not like she wanted to - Kagome almost felt sorry for the two young lovers.

Kikyou deserves some happiness after all this time, she decided to herself. I can't let Inuyasha kill him! But Kagome knew that would be easier said than done.

As if hearing her words, she saw the hanyou's red cloak from far away. Before she knew what she was doing, the girl was hiding behind some bushed. Why am I hiding? She blushed ferociously.

Watching the hanyou approach closer and closer, Kagome's stomach was clenched into a knot. Please, Inuyasha, please don't do anything stupid…
