Chapter 8: A Little Chat

"NO! NARAKU COME BACK WITH KAGOME . . . PLEASE . . ." said Inuyasha, dropping to the ground.

"Inuyasha! Are you okay?" Sango said curiously. Hmm. I knew he loved Kagome from the start! "Idiot . . ." she said, chuckling to herself.

"Shut up Sango . . . how would like it if the one you cared for got taken away by a powerful demon? Not so good, huh?"

"Inu-..."

"Save it, Sango. Let me go find Kagome. She is already so mad at me . . . what did I do to upset her?" he said.

"Ummm, Inuyasha, how about the words you said to her? Words may not kill her, but they kill her heart. Kagome is a great person. Haven't you realized that yet?" Sango said, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"'Course I have. . . .that's why she's mad . . .duh, I am such an idiot . . . Kagome, WAIT!" Inuyasha said, and took off.

Meanwhile,

"Kikyo, get off my leg . . . KIKYO!" Kagome said, finding herself in a cold, stone room, with Kikyo unconscious and laying beside her.

"You wench . . . get away," she said fiercely.

"Kikyo, why do you hate me?"

"Because you stole Inuyasha away from me. I hate you for that, and as you must already know, he used to love me. He doesn't love you, he only loves you because you are my reincarnation," said Kikyo coldly.

"You're wrong. Inuyasha loves me for who I am, not what I look like. Besides, you are just a piece of clay!" Kagome said angrily.

"Clay? I am much more than clay. I am a soul. Your soul, others' souls. Which reminds me . . . I'll be taking mine back."

A/N: I know this is wicked short, but I was in a rush and wanted to get at least something posted!
