The rising of the sun in front of her started to fade in and out. Kagome didn't know whether it was from the scrapes she'd gained that had started to bleed immensely when she had left Inuyasha's sight, or from the sleep she'd not had by staying up all night battling Naraku. All the energy used to keep Inuyasha away, and kill Naraku's puppet had drained her of all physical strength. Her eyelids started to drift down, closing out the light around her.

'No, I have to stay awake. Hoshiko's life depends on me. I need to save her...please forgive me-' her body fell to the ground. The will to save Hoshiko started to over power unconscious demand for rest. Her hands pushed her up off of the ground, she froze staying in that position. She couldn't move, her arms started to become heavy with the pressure of her body turning them to Jell-O. She fell down once again onto the welcoming earth.

'Hoshiko, please forgive me. I need to rest, to save you. Please, I'm sorry," she thought. Darkness folded around her as she gave in to the demand of sleep. Two men came out from the bushes, seeing her body lying helpless on the ground, they smirked. One was fat, his extra weight flowing into ripples near his stomach, and his beady little eyes looked around, they seemed to watch everything going on around them. He was bald and short, overshadowed by his tall companion. The other man towered over everything, two sizes too big for a bandit. His eyes were an ocean aqua that bugged from their sockets. Cropped on his head was untamed and unruly hair.

"Ryu, look we found a little priestess...lucky us. Maybe she'll be able to purify us when she wakes up, I'm having some nasty thoughts." said the fat man smirking at his companion. He started to inch his hand towards her, to be stopped by Ryu. Ryu grabbed his arm and looked at him sternly.

"No Habaken...we wait until nightfall, so no one will be around." Ryu said. Habaken's eyes gleamed with joy.

'God Damn it I can't believe I have to stay with this stupid perverted little man. Priestess, please wake up before nightfall, I cannot ensure your safety longer than that. Even the stupid little man has a patience limit.' Ryu thought looking down at the unconscious woman.

-Nightfall-

Kagome awoke to see a fire crackling next to her body, the flames dance against the night sky. She looked over and saw two men looking at her, her eyes became wide with fear. She stood up looking down at them she began to speak her voice filled with confidence she no longer had.

"Who are you?" she asked backing away as they stood up.

"We little missy are what you probably call bandits. We're here to collect you for a little fun," said Habaken leering at her. She turned her back and began to walk away from the men.

'I don't have time for this I have to save Hoshiko. I swear if this man doesn't leave me alone…I will kill him for getting the way of my rescue attempt,' she thought.

"Are you afraid of us little missy...you should be," he said. She turned around, and ran up to him inhumanly fast. She held his throat, and glared into his eyes.

"You are nothing close to what I would be afraid of. You're nothing but a sad defenseless man. Don't make me laugh me... afraid of you. Yeah right. Do not bother me again," she said dropping him back onto the ground. He scooted away until his back was against a tree trunk.

"You should be frightened miko! I'm the leader of the gang of Namida-shizuku!" he yelled.

"Uh-huh...sure whatever," she looked over to Ryu.

"Will you take a message to your gang for me?" she asked.

"Yes oh great miko," he said sarcasm running through his voice. She smirked at his way to keep humor in such a dire situation.

"Tell them not to disturb me again...or people will die," she said.

"Of course," Ryu said.

"Do you really need your companion here to take the message?" she asked her cold eyes falling upon Habaken.

"No…I do not miss," Ryu replied smirking as Habaken. Her hands overlapped in front of her as her nails began to glow a deathly blue. A scream sounded around them, and she stood smiling at the pile of ashes.

"You know even in the unconsciousness state, I am aware of everything that went on while I was out. You may not have meant to of saved me, but you did…thank you." she said turning her gaze to Ryu. He stood there shocked at what she'd said and done.

"You are welcome priestess, but I did not save you, you obviously saved yourself. Good bye, I will try to telling the group that you do not want to be disturbed. But once they hear that you killed our leader... they will want revenge," he said trying to tell her to run while she could.

"Just as long as you do not involve yourself with the mess...I will clean it up," she replied walking away. He watched as her figure retreated into the forest that surrounded them.

"I do not know if you will be able to priestess," he said turning around and running away the other way to deliver the news of their leader's death and the message of the miko.

With Kagome

She continued to walk on until she was out of sight of the man, collapsing onto a nearly uprooted tree root nearby. Closing her eyes she smiled at she remembered the defiance the man had had towards her. Opening her eyes she saw soul collectors circling above her. A look of vengeance and hatred appeared on her face as she looked around to find the owner of the demon.

"Kikyou...how dare you show your face around me after stealing Hoshiko," she said as the undead woman stepped out from behind the tree trunk.

"Hello Kagome. It's been awhile. It hasn't I know, but still. I'm not here to talk to you of that wretched child, I'm here to discuss Inuyasha," she said.

"Please just be quiet! I actually love Inuyasha. You hate him with all your being. How the hell can you stay in his heart! I am but a memory soft, faint, and flickering, about to be diminished. When some how you are alive and living color to him!" Kagome yelled standing up to face Kikyou head on.

"I will never again love Inuyasha. We belonged together at one point...but not now."

"If you know that you two do not belong together...why do you get in the way of our love?" Kagome asked.

"To him I am the love he has lost!" Kikyou exclaimed.

"No you are not! And I'll be damned if I allow you to take my place in his heart!" Kagome yelled back at Kikyou.

"What place? He remembers nothing of you, Kagome. There was nothing in his heart when he found me, just confusion. The light in his eyes no longer shines for you but me. You will never find away to take him back."

"Damn you Kikyou...damn you to hell! I will take back what has been mine. He has been since I unpinned him from the spell you put him under!" Kagome yelled at Kikyou to find that she had already disappeared.
