Chapter 6

Morning broke and the gang had already set out for their journey. A few moments later it began to rain. The gang found shelter in a village that they came upon.

"Thank you for your hospitality" Miroku thanked the headman in the village.

A maiden came into the room with dry towels for them to dry off. She handed the towels one by one. She first gave them to the girls than gave them to the guys. Miroku was last and he pulled her a side.

"Would you like to bear my child?" Miroku asked the normal pop question.

Sango over heard and tightened her fists. Sango got up and walked over to Miroku.

WACK!

BOOM!

Sango hit Miroku across the face so hard it caused him to slam into the wall. With this Sango walked out of the hut without saying anything else. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou weren't surprised at all. Kagome stepped out of the hut to comfort Sango. Inuyasha's nose twitched and than he stood up.

"Miroku I smell human blood and it's fresh too. Miroku go get Sango and Kagome. I'm going ahead" Inuyasha informed the lecherous monk.

Inuyasha ran outside and ran off into the woods.

"Why the hell is Kikyo here? I thought it would at least take her two or three days to come back. I dropped her off somewhere pretty far from the well" Inuyasha wondered.

Once Inuyasha got to his destination he saw Kikyo battling a demon. The demon was pretty strong so Kikyo was no match. Inuyasha came swooping in and cut the demon's arm off with his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer. Kikyo was knocked down from the demon earlier. Kikyo saw Inuyasha attacking the demon with rage. Kikyo smiled and then got up from the hard cold ground.

"Feh, you're a lot stronger than I thought" Inuyasha wiped the sweat off his face.

Inuyasha got ready to use the wind scar when he heard Kagome calling him. Kikyo's face and expression quickly turned to hatred. Kikyo hid behind a tree without anybody noticing her. She was going to get sweet revenge on Kagome after they beat the demon.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome came running in.

"Kagome stay back. He is too dangerous" Inuyasha demanded.

Kagome stepped aside and was right in front of the tree where Kikyo was hiding behind. Kikyo reached out and grabbed Kagome's shirt.

"Don't say anything or I'll kill you right now" Kikyo covered Kagome's mouth.

Kikyo's soul collectors rapped themselves around the two and they disappeared. Kikyo brought Kagome to a place where no one would guess. She brought them to the cave where she cared for the fugitive Onigumo. Kagome was forced to sit and keep quiet in the corner of the cave.

"Why have you captured me? I don't get it. Why do you hate me so much? I haven't done anything to you" Kagome stood up. "You're supposed to be a kind caring person. Not some evil person. What happened to the loved Kikyo I heard about so much? I know you had suffered a lot because of Naraku but why are you going after me? Please give me a reason why you are doing" Kagome came closer to Kikyo.

"How can you possibly know how I feel? You are alive and well but I'm dead and make from clay. I hate you so much because you're the reason why Inuyasha and I are not together" Kikyo was starting to talk nonsense.

"Kikyo what are you talking about? How the heck am I the reason you and Inuyasha aren't together. Why do you want your own reincarnation dead? You aren't making any sense. Just leave me alone!" Kagome became agitated.

Back to Inuyasha and the Demon:

"Bastard! Die! Wind Scar!" Inuyasha shouted.

The wind scar got the demon but it was still alive. The head floated up into the air and was getting away.

"Sango!" Inuyasha said knowing what the demon slayer knew what he meant.

"Gotcha. Hiraikotsu" Sango threw her large boomerang.

"Miroku finish the job" Sango shouted to the monk.

Miroku unraveled the prayer beads from his right hand. He pulled the prayer beads and put up his arm up at the demon's remains.

"Wind Tunnel" the monk said as the curse in his right hand sucked up the demon. "Success. Good thing we came in on time. Right Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Miroku saw that he was being ignored. "Pissst…Sango what is Inuyasha doing?" Miroku whispered into Sango's ear.

"It looks like he is looking for some one" Sango just said anything that came to her mind to the monk.

"Wait! Where did Kagome go? She was just here a minute ago" Shippou realized Kagome's disappearance.

Inuyasha's eyes widened like he knew what happened to the girl. He then looked down and realized Kikyo was there. Inuyasha searched all around him but no sign of Kikyo or Kagome. Inuyasha's heart began to pound faster. Inuyasha ran right in between Sango and Miroku.

"Hey Inuyasha where are you going?" Sango shouted after him.

"Maybe he thought Kagome went back to Kaede's village or back home again. We mustn't but in" Miroku said while rubbing Sango's ass.

WACK!

"You pervert! Keep your damn hands to yourself" Sango walked off leaving the monk behind.

"You'll never learn. Will you Miroku?" Shippou followed Sango to Kaede's village.

"Ha ha, guess not" Miroku rubbed his face.

"Sango do you love Miroku?" Shippou asked out of no where.

"Shippou…why do you ask" Sango began to blush.

"I see it and also Kagome can" Shippou looked up at the blushing demon slayer.

"Shippou just keep quiet" Sango got annoyed.

Inuyasha ran through the woods blindly looking for a sign of Kagome and Kikyo. He knew that the only explanation was that Kikyo has Kagome. There was no sign or scent that he could find. Inuyasha stopped hopelessly and began to think where she could possibly be.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed.

Back with Kikyo and Kagome:

"Inuyasha…" Kagome heard Inuyasha's cry.

Kagome got up and started for the cave's opening to the outside world. As she did Kikyo shot an arrow by her warning her not to go. Kagome looked back in fear.

"Kikyo you just can't leave me here. Why are you doing this to me?" Kagome turned around to face Kikyo.

"Silence! You're going to die now" Kikyo pulled out another arrow shot it at Kagome.

Kagome dodged it but it almost hit her. Kagome didn't have any weapons so she was hopeless. Kikyo planned it that way because last time she could fight back.

"Argh!" Kikyo managed to make Kagome slam into the cave's wall.

Kagome struggled up and ran to Kikyo. Kagome grabbed Kikyo's bow. Kikyo and Kagome tugged the bow into two different directions. With this the bow broke into two pieces. Kikyo took an arrow and slit Kagome's arm. Kagome back up and grabbed her wound to stop it from bleeding. Kikyo came after Kagome and made small slits on her delicate skin. Kagome's white shirt soon turned to a red shirt. Kagome fell to the ground and Kikyo struck Kagome. The arrow went right through Kagome's arm. Kagome screamed and was able to shove Kikyo away. Kagome got up and ran out of the cave as fast as she could. Kikyo followed ready to strike again. As Kagome ran she made a trail of blood puddles. Kagome was loosing a lot of blood and she could hold out much longer.

"Get back here!" Kikyo came running with an arrow in her hand.

"INUYASHA!" tears ran down Kagome's cheeks.

Kikyo was closing in on her.

"Someone please help me" Kagome thought to herself.

"Damn you to hell Kagome" Kikyo shouted.

Back to Inuyasha:

Inuyasha ran past the cave where Kagome and Kikyo stayed. Inuyasha backed up and saw blood on the ground.

"What the hell?" Inuyasha was puzzled.

Inuyasha took his index finger and dipped it into the blood. He held his finger to his nose and smelt the blood. Inuyasha pulled his finger back in disgust and began to shake all over. He recognized the blood and it was Kagome's. The blood went into two different directions. One direction was leading to the cave and towards the woods. He first went to the cave and saw no one there. Inuyasha frantically ran through the woods.

"Please be a live Kagome" Inuyasha began to worry.

Back to Kikyo and Kagome:

Kagome kept running but she fell. She fell because of all the blood she lost. Kikyo stopped and saw Kagome hopelessly on the ground. Kikyo moved towards the fallen girl.

"Please stop. I beg you Kikyo" Kagome started to cry.

"No! Now die Kagome" Kikyo raised her arm with the arrow.

Kikyo slit Kagome's face with the point of the arrow head. Kagome struggled but just kept getting more and more slits on her face. Blood splattered everywhere. Kikyo stabbed Kagome's shoulder this time. She just missed her chest. Kagome spit out big portions of blood. With this Kagome passed out from all the blood loss. Kikyo got ready to strike the final blow.

Back to Inuyasha:

Inuyasha kept following the small puddles of Kagome's blood throughout the woods. Inuyasha was afraid that Kikyo finally killed Kagome this time.

"Kagome where are you!" Inuyasha shouted hoping that Kagome would reply.

Inuyasha's heart began to sink in sorrow.
