This is Chapter 9 peeps....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok I'll explain it now so you won't be confused. The Jewel is divided in to 3 pieces. Naraku obviously holds Kagome's piece, so Naraku has half of the jewel. The other half is divided in 2, Inuyasha and the gang has 50% of that half, and soon you'll find out who holds the other 50%. So be patient, if you still don't get it then please email me, or send me a review so I can explain it to you. Thank You!!! If there is anything else that is confusing, please let me know.

Chapter 9:
" Inuyasha... you still love her don't you"
"......" no reply
She slowly approached him from behind, and buried her face in his long silver hair.
" Give me a chance... to ease you pain, let me make you forget, even for awhile."
He felt his back was wet, and realized that she was crying. He turned around and looked at her.
~he made her cry, he hated seeing a woman cry.~ guilt ate at his soul, as he hugged Kikyo.
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry"
Then he felt it, a sudden cold chill. It ran through his body, making the hair in the back of his neck stand. He let go of Kikyo. He stood there eyeing his surroundings.
" What is the matter Inuyasha" asked the Miko curiously.
" Something's here" answered the hanyou as he placed his hands on the sheath of his sword daring it to show itself.
The forest ceased motion, as if time itself stopped. He stood there, with the Miko behind him. No sound was heard but the heartbeat of his throbbing heart. ( after all Kikyo doesn't have a heart, since she is still a corpse) ~Thud~Thud~thud~thud~ faster and faster his heart raced.
'Soon we shall meet again Inuyasha' a cold, female voice echoed through is head.
'Who are you' he thought... ( they are communicating telepathically, he is hearing it only in his head, so Kikyo did not hear it~
'no reply'
Then the forest came to life again, Everything was back to normal.
"let us return to the others" muttered Kikyo.
* no... She cannot be alive, I refuse to believe it* thought Kikyo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night Inuyasha laid awake.
'Soon we shall meet again Inuyasha' *that voice, where have I heard it before*
*Who was she and what did she want* questions began popping in his head, questions that would remain unanswered. Is she their enemy, or their foe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Next Morning"
"there is a rumor, that a powerful priestess in a village not far from here holds 1/4 of the jewel" said Miroku.
" How far is this village" asked Sango.
" perhaps a few miles from here, if we hurry we'll make it there before night falls" said the monk.
" then what are we waiting for" said the anxious hanyou, forgetting the about the mysterious figures.
* finally, jewel shards* thought inuyasha.
Later...
It was almost lunch... and the group was unusually quiet.
Inuyasha was way ahead of the others. Sango, and Kikyo were riding on Kirara.
While Miroku and Shippo rode Kagome's bike.
It wasn't long before they decided to rest, and of course eat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While everyone was eating, a thought ran through the Monks head.
" Inuyasha what if the priestess refuses to give the jewel" he curiously asked.
" Then we'll take the jewel, we can't let Naraku get his hands on it" Inuyasha choked out through his mouth filled with food. ( I don't know what they eat, since they can't eat noodles anymore)
" The priestess is said to be powerful and skilled, that even the most fearsome demon was no match for her." explained the monk.
" And I have heard her beauty is rivaled only by her Miko powers." Miroku said with a mischievous look on his face. ( we all know what's running in that brain of his lol)
" That explains why you know so much about her" said the disgusted hanyou.
Everyone stared at Miroku with a disgusted face, all except for Kikyo who seemed to be in deep thought.
* This priestess, they speak of... Something about this brings me discomfort*
" Kikyo... Kikyo is everything alright, you've not touched your food" asked the concerned Sango, waking the priestess from her thoughts.
" yes everything is alright" answered the priestess as she stood and walked off, leaving the others staring after her retreating form.
"I'll go check on her" said the little Kitsune who only grew a few inches taller.
Kikyo sat in a field surrounded by colorful flowers, as a fluffy object came to rest on her lap.
She immediately petted the Kitsune, who she grew to love as her own child over the years.
" Kikyo why are you so sad" asked Shippo as he looked at her with pleading eyes.
" Is it because of Inuyasha," added the little Kitsune.
" Don't worry I'm still here" he said as he hugged the priestess.
Not far from them a shadow watched as Shippo hugged the priestess. Its eyes reflecting the scene. As if a mirror reflecting an image. Then it disappeared in the darkness of the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not far away...
In a village, in a hut sat a figure. As she stared into a blazing purple fire. In it she watched the little Kitsune and the priestess hug. For a moment her eyes showed sadness, as she stared at the Kitsune, and instantly replaced by hate, as she caught sight of the priestess.
With a wave of her hand the purple fire disappeared.
" So they seek the jewel" she spoke.
" Myouga" she called.
" Yes my Lady" answered the little flea, as he entered and kneeled in front of her.
" lead them to the to the village, and give them a little tour" she commanded.
" It is time I take back what is mine"
" yes lady priestess" with that said he exited the room, and went to follow his orders.
~ Heart of Stone~ Written by Me.
I close my eyes to stop the pain,
Anger rises... I feel like I'm going insane.
I will not show any fear and emotion
They will pay,
For their betrayal and deception.
Soon they will be on their knees
Begging for my forgiveness...
I will not shed more tears...
Soon... I will become their worst fears.
I will make them pay for their mistakes,
In my darkness... they can't escape.
Love, happiness, Friends
I've had enough ... this is the end.
The flames of hatred has consumed me...
Eternal pain is what it would be.
All those feelings I've left behind,
Are in the past, now I'm soulless inside.
Forever I would be alone
I have nothing left,
But my heart of Stone...
her eyes showed hatred and pain...
