Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha... or so they think... muahahaha...

Kitaro smiled "I want your miko powers…" She growled, cracking her fingers and showing off her long claws as she smiled wickedly at the girl before her.

"W-What?" Kagome asked, glaring at the girl that had once called herself Kitaro. She backed away and looked around the room, there was nothing she could defend herself with, and she had left her arrows in the other room.

Kitaro walked over, liking the fear that was now consuming Kagome.

"Well I'm not going to let you have my miko powers." Kagome said, folding her arms in a stubborn fashion, but she doubted that would stop her.

"I was a little girl, I'm still Kitaro… but I grew more powerful off your fears…" She said, still heading towards Kagome, her arrow in place and set.

"Off my fears…?" Kagome asked, but then it clicked. "You were the reason I kept having those nightmares!" She said, glaring.

Kitaro nodded "Yes it's true, I am the reason for that. But I needed to grow stronger, and yet I still do from the fear you have right now." She said, stopping but keeping her arrow at Kagome.

Kagome stood her ground, still looking around for an arrow, but she knew there wasn't one.

"Why did you do this?" She asked, looking over at Kitaro. If she couldn't find a weapon she could at least buy time. Why hasn't InuYasha come already?

Kitaro smiled "Because I knew you wouldn't be able to push away a poor defenseless hanyou orphan." She pointed out.

"And as for that hanyou… he won't be getting in here." She added, grinning maliciously.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, worried now what would happen to InuYasha, and if Kitaro was able to read her mind.

"Wasn't that what you were buying time for? It wont work, I put up a barrier around this room, and it's too strong for that pathetic little sword trick of his." She said, laughing.

"Oh no… InuYasha!" Kagome called, looking over at the door.

"I'm surprised you managed to survive my poison thus far."

"What are you talking about now?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Figured… what out?"

"That powder that was everywhere, it's my poison powder and was supposed to kill you a long time ago, and it looked like I've failed then."

"So that's why I passed out so easily…"

"Yes… but I'm afraid you won't survive this time."

Kagome gulped, her back hit the wall and she knew there was no where to go now. Kitaro was more then powerful enough to finish her off right now, and she had no weapon around to even give her a chance of getting out alive.

'Oh no, I'm in big trouble. InuYasha! Help!' Kagome thought, looking over at the door again.

"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled again, he could tell something was horribly wrong now. He started forward at a run only to end up having his head hit a barrier.

The hanyou was thrown off his feet about five or six feet back before getting up again, his hand to his head where he had hit it.

"Shit! Kagome!" He called.

His ears were twitching to try and catch any noise from that room, but the barrier blocked off any sound, or scent.

For all he knew, if he got past it, it might just be a distraction. But he had no other lead.

With his hand still on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga he pulled it out and glared at the spot where the barrier was.

"This barrier is going down." He growled, concentrating and closing his eyes until the Tetsusaiga turned a brilliant shade of red.

InuYasha swung it through the barrier as though it had been made of nothing but air. Raising an eyebrow at how easily it was broken he started forward again.

The barrier started to glow red as well, and soon the sword and InuYasha were thrown down the hallway.

"What in all the hells is going on!" He yelled furiously.

'No, now's not the time, Kagome is in danger, I'm sure of it.' He thought, getting up and running forward once more with the Tetsusaiga.

Once again he was thrown back into the ground a few feet away, and like before he swore under his breath and got up, running forward again.

­­Kagome felt herself gasp inwardly at the thuds and yells from outside. "InuYasha!" She yelled, worried that he would start to hurt himself from trying.

"He can't hear you…" Kitaro said, grinning as she seemed to be enjoying this.

"What?" Kagome asked, looking over at her.

'Oh no, it's getting worse, I can see the power radiating off her.' She thought, sighing.

"The barrier makes it so he can't hear you or smell you, for all he knows, you're not even alive." Kitaro said, grinning.

Kagome glared at her, she was surely taking her time in trying to kill her. She blinked and leaned up against the wall. She was starting to grow weak, even though there hasn't even been a fight yet.

"Heh, yes that's it, you're starting to give out now." Kitaro said, grinning and looking over at her.

"What are you talking about now?" Kagome growled, glaring at her. She was really starting to get irritated now, was she going to kill her or just play around with her?

"Like I said before, your fear is giving me energy. So I'm taking it from you now, making you weaker. But you're starting to lose your fear, perhaps I should move to the hanyou now, no?" Kitaro asked, smiling as she walked over.

Kagome glared at her "You leave InuYasha alone!" She yelled, pushing herself up. She sighed in defeat as self felt her legs give out from under her and she fell to the ground.

"You dare to order me around when you can hardly move?" Kitaro laughed. "But don't worry; I'll make that half-breed pay. The only thing worse then a nightmare is a memory." She said, grinning

Kagome glared at her and tried to push herself up, but she could hardly move her arms, let alone help herself upright. "No! Leave InuYasha alone!" She yelled.

Kitaro just smiled, waving her hand and the barrier was gone. She only had to wait a few seconds before the hanyou burst in.

InuYasha had been running at the barrier only to find that it had disappeared, so naturally he ended up running into the door and through it.

"Kagome!" He gasped, running over to the girl and kneeling down next to her. "Kagome are you ok?" He asked.

"I'm fine… InuYasha… run…" Kagome gasped, trying to at least keep her ability to speak, but that was starting to fade as well.

"Huh?" InuYasha asked, but didn't receive an answer so he got up and glared at the girl.

"Who the hell are you and what did you do to Kagome?" He ordered, still gripping the Tetsusaiga that had faded from red and was now back to its original color of silver.

"Don't you recognize me, InuYasha? I've only been staying with your group for a while now." Kitaro said, grinning.

InuYasha opened his mouth to snap at her and say that he didn't know what the hell she was talking about, but she beat him to it.

"I'm Kitaro, y'know, the little hanyou that you all felt sorry for and let me tag along?" She said.

InuYasha growled "I knew it… I knew you were lying." He muttered, his eyes narrowing at her and his hand tightening on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga.

"Well what a clever little puppy that you are." Kitaro said, smiling.

"What did you do to Kagome?" InuYasha ordered, growing, if possible, even angrier at her taunting.

"Kagome? Oh, that wench passed out since I'm stealing her energy." Kitaro said, waving her hand as though it was nothing to be concerned about.

"But I have what I really want now, so it doesn't matter. I'll soon be even more powerful, and once I take her miko powers and the sacred jewel shard, I'll be all powerful!" She said, laughing.

"Over my dead body!" InuYasha yelled, starting forward.

"Ah, ah, ah." Kitaro tsked, folding her arms and jumping out of the way as though InuYasha had been a mere human to avoid.

"Now is that any way to behave? I think you need to go to sleep for a while." She said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out some powder. She sighed, putting a pinch in her hand and blowing it over to him.

"What the hell?" InuYasha growled; he started coughing as the powder twisted around him. He soon started to feel dizzy and dropped the Tetsusaiga next to him as his grip loosened and he fell slack, falling onto the ground.

Kitaro smiled and knelt next to the now unconscious hanyou. Her hands emitted a light blackish glow from them as she pressed them onto InuYasha's back and they started to sink into his body.

"Now I think that memory is suitable… it's obviously been long forgotten, this should be fun." Kitaro said, removing her hands from him and smiling as she watched the hanyou fall into a deeper sleep.

­­Well there you have it! Another cliffy! Muahahaha, I'm soooo ebil.
