Well who do you think shot Kikyou?...

"Where the hell did she go?"

Sango was worried that something like this would happen. Kikyou had obviously went off on her own. This only caused Sango to worry more. No matter how good she was, Kikyou was in no way ready to go out alone. But here they were, and Kikyou long gone. She could be almost anywhere by now.

"We need to go look for her."

Yes, that was true they needed to find her. But where to look first they did not know. The truth was she couldn't have gotten very far. Especially since she was not physically ready to be out there. But Kikyou did not care about that. She felt that she was strong enough to handle anything.

"Do you think we could actually find her right now?" Sesshomaru thought.

That was true, it was pitch black out there. But Sango wanted to go anyway, Inuyasha as well. They didn't want anything bad to happen to her. Soon everyone decided to split up, in hopes that one of them would find Kikyou.

Kikyou walked aimlessly threw the streets. There wasn't much she could do right now, and she knew that. At this time of night, what could she do. She began to wonder if she would ever get anywhere. Would that criminal get away? Would she feel any better soon, she wanted to be able to do her job. She couldn't work like this, with all this pain.

She might make a mistake, and probably endanger her health. She could think of a few people who would be angry at her. Inuyasha and Sango at the top of that list. In many ways Sango would be the angriest. Since Kikyou promised her she wouldn't go anywhere until she was better.

And Kikyou knew that she was nowhere near better. In fact she was far from being 100 percent healthy. Her head was killing her, making it hard for her to concentrate. She wasn't even sure where she was going anymore.

Kikyou continued walking and felt the strange desire to go back to the mountains. Maybe somewhere near their cabins, she might find something. But deep down she doubted she would find anything. She stopped again a sharp pain piercing threw her body.

"Damn him for shooting me." she whispered.

Unable to stand any longer, she fell down on the ground. The pain growing even more and more intense. She closed her eyes trying to block out the pain. But it seemed to be taking over her entire body.

"I must keep going."

She tried getting up again. But sunk back down, hitting her head on one of the rocks. Instantly she blanked out blood dripping from her head. And now was starting to suffer from a rapid nosebleed. Unknowing to her, there was someone standing above her. The gun shaking nervously in his hand. Could he kill her now? Especially when she was down like this.

He wanted to face her when she was healthier. He wanted a fair fight, to kill her now wasn't worth it. Kikyou would be much more of a challenge when she wasn't weak. But now here she lay weak and unconscious.

"Look at you, so pathetic." he thought.

But one thing he was proud of was shooting her. It was a perfect plan to take her down. Making it seem like he was really going to shoot Sango. Knowing that of course she would jump in the way to save her. Their devotion to each other, would be there downfall.

Somehow he would kill both of the Hikaru sisters. Since they were the best at their jobs. Once they were both out of the way, criminals could take over.

"Kikyou, Kikyou." someone yelled.

"This isn't over Kikyou Hikaru, I'll kill you."

And without waiting another minute he disappeared into the darkness. It was Inuyasha who found her lying there. He ran to her and picked her up. She was still breathing, just barely. He paused for a moment, someone else had been there.

"Inuyasha,... did you find..."

Sango stopped when she saw Kikyou. She was so still, her breathing shallow. Sango knew something like this would happen. Kikyou was very determined, she would have left eventually. There was nothing Sango could have done to make her stay.

"She isn't going to..."

"No way, Kikyou isn't going to die." Inuyasha told Sango.

"Inuyasha is right, lets take her back to the hospital."

The next day Kikyou woke up, only to see that she was in the hospital. She remembered falling down last night. Soon Inuyasha and Sango entered the dimly lit room. Kikyou closed her eyes, making it seem that she was still sleeping.

Sango and Inuyasha didn't say it but they were worried. And also angry at the same time, because she didn't listen to them. She even promised Sango that she would wait until she got better. But neither one of them were really surprised.

'Did those test results come back?" Inuyasha asked.

"No, we have to wait a few days."

Kikyou listened to the tone of their voices. There were both concerned about her. She felt bad about leaving last night. She opened her eyes to see Sango and Inuyasha staring at her.

"Kikyou?" they said at the same time.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

Inuyasha hugged her first, and then Sango. They were angry, but more concerned. Worried about the way that they found her. Laid out on the ground blood all over. It didn't look good, making them wonder about her test results.

"I can't remember what happened."

"You don't remember."

Only bits and pieces. She didn't know how she got here, what happened to her. How she ended up on the ground. Nothing seemed to be coming back to her.

"No. I just woke up here. I didn't find him Sango."

This didn't surprise Sango at all. It was pitch black out there, and they had no clues. Well except for the little information Sesshomaru found out. Besides who even knew if he was still in Russia.

"You should have never went alone. I would have came with you." Sango told her.

Kikyou grabbed a hold of her head, that familiar pain still there. It was now becoming hard to focus. She couldn't even hear Sango anymore.

"Kikyou, you okay?" Inuyasha asked her.

"I'm sorry, what."

She closed her eyes again, trying to withstand the pain. If it continued like this, she would never be able to work again. She opened her eyes when she felt blood. There it was again that nosebleed. Sango and Inuyasha remembered, but Kikyou did not.

"My nose was bleeding last night, as well?"

She grabbed some tissue quickly. She knew that this was not a good sign. And hoped that those test result came back soon. Kikyou wanted to at least know what she was up against.

"Yea, you hit your head on something too."

That part she could remember. But the nosebleed and everything else she couldn't.

"I'm sure its nothing. I'll be fine, I have to..." she stopped.

"Have to what?"

"I..."

Just then she fell back into bed. Lying there, her heart rate seemed to be decreasing. And then her body went into a fit of convulsions.

"Kikyou, Kikyou." Sango yelled.
