"Then why don't you remove the arrow?" I asked.

"It's not that easy that is a concealment arrow. We can't pull it out." A new voice stated. A little kistiune kit and a monk came from the trees. It was the monk who had spoken.

"Or we would have a long time ago." The kit said.

#You thinking what I'm thinking# Yoko asked.

'I think I am.' I went toward the tree again.

"You won't be able to pull it out!" the kit exclaimed.

"It can't hurt to try." I stated.

I stood on the root again and put my hand on the arrow and then I pulled hard. It came out easily and dissolved in my hand. She fell forward into my arms. I carried her bridal style, I heard the others gasp.

"Y-you could pull it out!" Sango exclaimed.

I placed the girl on the ground, "I guess I did." I pulled her shirt down slightly but only enough to not see anything. 'Don't start Yoko.' I scolded him before he could say a word. Funny there was no wound where the arrow was. Kagome groaned.

"What the hell?" she put her hand to her head. I moved away as she sat up.

"Kagome!" Sango cried as she hugged Kagome. Kagome returned the hug while crying.

"S-S-Sango h-he really did it. He almost g-g-got it, I almost f-failed as its protector." She cried.

"It's okay now Kagome, the good thing is he didn't get it and that's what matters. He will no longer hurt you anymore." Sango assured her. I was wondering who 'he' was, they made it seem like he was the one to do this.

"But who freed me? Kikyo said that only a priestess or a soul mate, whatever that is, can release me." Kagome looked confused. The kit jumped into her arms, Kagome hugged him close to her.

He then grinned at me, "He did it! He freed you momma!" She turned and looked at me.
