Who Are You? Kagome's Wish, Inuyasha's Promise

Chapter Six: I Saw Her!

I don't Inuyasha... or any of the characters... crying a river

Hey everybody! Sry for the long lack of updates... It's just that school started and my exams are coming. But here's another chapter and I hope to be putting chapter 7 up today too, as a way of saying sorry! ENJOY and R&R!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome woke up with dawn the next morning, recalling back the events of yesterday evening. 'Ugh... I don't want to get up yet… I'm sore all over! What happened again? Oh yes, I tried killing Kikyo… WHAT?! Why'd I try killing Kikyo? Because I wanted revenge. Revenge for what? And she was asking about why I'm referring to Naraku as Lord Naraku?'

Suddenly an image of a hanyou with long silver hair holding a huge fang-like sword was charging at what seemed to be a baboon flashed through her head. 'Oh Inuyasha... be careful… AHHHHH!'

With the image a headache burst. She started squirming and screaming in pain. But quickly she stopped thinking about it and the headache immediately eased. Trying thinking of the reason for her abnormal headaches, the answer never came to her. A few minutes later she got up and retrieved her bows and arrow.

'I'll think about this after I find a village. I need some formal rest, some cleansing and a stock up on supplies... for my upcoming journey, my revenge.' The last few words made her pupils flash black for a second, but vanished almost instantly.

Then the miko dressed in dark blue walked through the leftovers of the wheat field silently.

>>> Location – Inuyasha's Forest, Inuyasha and Company, Kikyo

Inuyasha and the others were about to exit Inuyasha's forest after camping last night in there when a foul smell hit Inuyasha and Shippo's noses. "EWWW! I DON'T LIKE THIS SMELL! CLAY, DIRT, AND BLOOD MIXTURES ARE GOOD!" complained a very loud Shippo.

Inuyasha wanted to complain but knew who it was coming from so he decided to keep his quietness and focused on finding Kikyo. About right away soul gatherers emerged in front of him flying upwards.

There Kikyo was, fainted and limp tangled among her many soul gatherers. "Kikyo!" yelled Inuyasha as he ran forward holding out his arms as the soul gatherers carefully placed their owner into them.

In reaction everyone else tensed up, Miroku grabbed onto beads on his right hand, Sango held on tighter to Hiraikotsu, and both Kilala and Shippo let out a low growl. Not noticing, or paying any attention to them Inuyasha just turned around and started running back to Kaede's village.

>>> Later in Kaede's Hut

"You old hag! Hurry up! How's Kikyo doing?!" cried Inuyasha. "INUYASHA! Ye need not rush me! I am almost done, HOLD ON! …Sister this may sting a bit, but the aspirin Kagome gave me works well, and I will also put some herbs on the bruises to cure them." Kikyo struggled to sit up so Inuyasha lent a hand and Kikyo was not laid upon him.

"Kaede, please do use the herbs on me… but keep that wench's medicine away from me!" Kikyo said with quite a ferocious tone. Inuyasha was a little taken back, but did not bother to correct Kikyo about calling Kagome a wench. However another conversation caught his ears even though Kikyo or Kaede couldn't hear.

>>> A little away from the hut Sango, Miroku, Shippo were engaged in conversation.

Sango: "Do you think it'd be right to go back in there. I don't want to exactly leave Inuyasha with Kikyo… UGH! THAT BASTARD! We don't even know what happened to Kagome yet but h seems to care more for the dead one…"

Miroku: "I understand how you feel Sango. Inuyasha shouldn't just have came back like this, we've just wasted another day coming and going and who knows in between this time what might've happened to Kagome-sama…"

But to their astonishment Shippo finally spoke. Since news was heard that Kagome was not home from Inuyasha he had not spoken. Just a few murmurs and all but not another sound. But he was now talking with again tears, but also anger.

Shippo: "Do you think Kagome is… is… is gone by now? Like gone as in never coming back?"

Sango: "Don't worry Shippo… Kagome is strong. She will be able to survive through any hardships she encounters while we are here……"

Shippo: "BUT ISN'T THAT WRONG?! KAGOME IS IN DANGER AND ALL WE COULD DO IS STAND AROUND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC WHILE INUYASHA IS IN HEAVEN WITH SOMEONE ELSE THAT MAY ALSO BE HELL FOR KAGOME?!"

Anger could be heard from the kitsune's voice, not just normal temper tantrums but the rage of a man, you can tell he was in deep hatred against the couple within the hut.

Miroku: "It's okay Shippo, we know how you feel, don't worry. All will be fine…"

Then silence dropped upon them, they were all uncertain of the monk's last words, even he was. Yet inside the hut Inuyasha agreed, who knows what happened to Kagome?

>>> Even Later in Kaede's Hut – Everyone

As everyone sat around quietly nervously shooting looks at Kikyo laying on Inuyasha, she was reminded of a question to ask about. This question and her story also answered all the pondering questions revolving in the group's heads.

"Kikyo, how did you receive such hurtful wounds?" asked Miroku to break the awkward atmosphere. "Oh yes, this brings up something I wanted to ask." said Kikyo awakening from heaven in Inuyasha's arms. "These wounds were given to me by none other than Kagome."

Then Kikyo told of her story.
