'Inuyasha how could you do this to me! How dare you!' thought Kikyo as she saw Inuyasha disappear. Gently her fingers touched her lips. 'Inuyasha, you have changed, this kiss was not a feeling like 50 years before. This kiss is a mere desire, you desire my body, but you don't love me. I can't feel your affections anymore… NO! Perhaps this time I am the replication, the replacement… Before you looked at Kagome and saw me… now you looked at me but saw HER!'

Furious Kikyo slammed back against the sacred tree. Slowly she ran her hand across her shoulder bone. 'Inuyasha I will make sure that you and your love belong to me! You will bed with me and bite my shoulder bone… Then we shall live happily ever after in hell!' Kikyo's body and mind calmed after her thoughts, and she laid there looking at the full moon. 'He's fully human on a new moon…'

>>> Location – Kaede's Hut, Inuyasha and Company

Inuyasha got back to the hut in a flash to find everyone there. As he entered everyone gave him cold stares, and he knew why. He brought Kikyo out… alone. To clear everything up so he could have a peaceful night of rest for himself he confessed.

"Stop giving me those stupid looks. I know what you're thinking and yes it happened…" Shippo promptly yelled out "INUYASHA YOU JERK! HOW COULD YOU! WHAT ABOUT KAG -" "BUT I STOPPED OKAY! THERE'S NO HARM DONE!" Everyone then calmed down and realized they were wrong about Inuyasha.

They all knew he would only stop because he himself remembered Kagome, nothing else could've stopped him from bedding Kikyo. But they all wanted him to confess so they stared at him anxiously. Inuyasha also realized what their new looks meant and he wasn't about to give in a second time.

"STOP GIVING ME THOSE NEW LOOKS! I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BUT NO! O and yes, by the way… I left Kikyo out at the sacred tree alone. Can err… Kaede or someone go get her…?" "Yes, I will bring her back, she is my sister after all… I don't believe that anyone else wants to?" She turned around hopefully, but Sango, Miroku, Shippo and even Kilala looked away. "……"

As Kaede left to bring Kikyo back, Inuyasha could just stare at everyone left.

'Wow, they HATE Kikyo, but yet LOVE Kagome? If they are both the same person but just of different times, is there such a big difference still? Or is it just that Kikyo's dead? Or is it their personalities? Wait… It's the same on me too… I would love to be with Kagome under that tree doing anything, but yet other than embracing I can't be happy doing anything else with Kikyo. What! But I love Kikyo too! Or do I love Kagome more? Or is it the other way…?'

Inuyasha was so confused he started scratching his head and pouted, and another million expressions showed. Sango realizing this first asked. "Err… Inuyasha… is something wrong?" Realizing what he was doing Inuyasha abruptly stopped. "KEH! Nothing is!"

But the scents of Kikyo and Kaede were drawing closer and he didn't really want to be company of Kikyo for the time being. "Uhh guys… I'm going to camp outside today… It's a nice night…" Right away everyone started bustling around and claiming that they'll join him. "Uhh… Okay…" was all Inuyasha could muster.

As they walked out Kikyo and Kaede were still not in sight but Inuyasha could tell they were getting closer. So he walked in a different direction back into his forest. As everyone else followed him heard the conversation Sango, Miroku and Shippo were newly engaged in.

"Good thing Inuyasha suggested camping outside today… I can't stand being in the same hut as Kikyo any longer!" Shippo claimed. "Yeah, I know what you mean… but unlike her it's not the smell that bothers me, it's her! She acts like she's really part of us and gets us to do everything for her!" agreed Sango.

"I'm willing to do anything for Kagome, but Kikyo's a different story. She's so bitter and dead… I don't see what Inuyasha sees in her… Whoever would've known that you and I would share the same thoughts Sango?" With that Miroku's hand wandered down her back and stayed at her butt. "HENTAI!" screamed Sango and a glowing red hand print appeared on the houshi's face.

Inuyasha was disturbed by Miroku's perverted actions once again. He had been paying careful attention to the conversation and wanted to hear more so he could sort out his feelings. But as everyone picked a place and got to sleep Inuyasha found a random tree nearby and once in it he fell asleep right away too.

>>> Location – Shiroi City, Kagome

The sun shone brightly through the clear window waking Kagome up from her deep slumber. Earlier that day she had struggled to Shiroi Village and was greeted happily by the people because of her being a miko. Now she was awaking in a simple cabin room that belonged to her for the next few days without having to pay.

Her room was on the second floor and was small but nevertheless comfortable. There was a simple futon she was laying on that lay directly beside the fairly large sized window so when she sat up she could already see the city scenery outside. Then in front of the futon was just some empty space and across that was the door.

Expertly Kagome put her hair up into a bun and washed her face with the water basin provided right at the edge of her futon on the empty space. Fixing up her clothing she walked out of her room and was headed outside to check White City out for itself.
