Chapter 5: Another Kagome (Part 2)

Link's eyes were opening, and he groaned in pain.He was somewhat in pain, and had bandages on his body. He shook his head and tried to wake himself up.

"So you're awake…" That familiar voice whispered.

Kikyo.

"Huh…? Where are we…?" Link wondered.

"I saw you fighting Naraku. Doing so was reckless." Said the priestess.

Link didn't say a word, but he did make a sigh.

"You need rest. You must recover." Kikyo warned.

"I'll be fine… Hrk!"

Link sat back down. He took a few breaths and laid back down.

"Thanks for helping me though. I don't think I could've survived if you haven't found me." Link thanked politely.

"So tell me, what was it that made Naraku retreat from you?" Kikyo questioned.

Link simply brought his hand and showed her the Tri Force Symbol.

"This is called Tri force, symbolizing Power, wisdom, and courage. And I was born from a knight of the royal family, so I was born with this to give my good luck. In turn, it gave away the life of my mother…" Link explained.

"Your mother is…dead?" Kikyo asked.

"Yes…" Link replied with great sadness.

Kikyo, sensing the sadness inside of Link, decided to hug him.

"There's no need to worry… everything will be okay…" Kikyo consoled the Hylian.

She was almost like Impa, who tried to treat Link like a mother, but Link seemed to prefer the way Kikyo treated him. She gave more respect.

"You didn't have to do this…" Link said.

"I couldn't leave you there, suffering. It's hard for me to see such thing for someone your age." Kikyo replied.

Link sighed.

The next morning Link woke up, he felt much better. He got his sword and shield from the walls of the cave.

"I see you feel better now." Kikyo commented.

"Yes, I am. Thanks for nursing me there, priestess." Link thanked once again.

"It was my pleasure. But please be careful next time." Kikyo accepted the thanks with a smile.

"I will." Link nodded and ran as he waved a good bye.

Never have I seen someone brave and strong for a young boy, and such kindness. Kikyo thought.

Link ran back to the village.

"Link!" Kagome called him as he entered.

"Hi Kagome." Link said.

"We were worried about you. You were gone all night!" Kagome reminded.

"Sorry about that, just had to look around." Link replied and rubbed the back of his neck, "oh yeah, do you know anyone known as Kikyo?" Link wondered.

Kagome's smile of relief faded a bit.

"She's my ancestor, AKA Inu Yasha's love." Kagome answered.

Link looked surprised.

"After a very foul demon Naraku deceived them into hating each other, Kikyo died, but came back after that." Kagome explained.

"She's a ghost…?" Link asked confused, not scared.

"I guess you can say that."

Link was shocked.

"Where is she…" A gruff voice questioned.

It was Inu Yasha.

"I found her there…" Link pointed at a high mountain.

Inu Yasha ran after, but Link stopped him with Mystery Seeds.

"Inu Yasha… don't ever meet her again… she told me how much she hated you… as a traitor." Link demanded.

"Don't stop me again!" Inu Yasha shouted, and tried hitting him, but Link used his shield.

"Inu Yasha! Listen! You may have feelings for her, right? But I don't think she does for you… she wanted you to stay away from her… she said so to me." Link yelled back.

Inu Yasha grunted.

"I know how it feels, Inu Yasha… but this sort of thing happened to me once too…" Link made up a lie just to try and cheer Inu Yasha up.

"Link, that won't help… he searches for Kikyo no matter what. Nothing can ever stop him." Kagome informed.

"And Naraku… I fought him, and I was no match." Link said.

That made Inu Yasha change his mind; to him, it was a "forget about Kikyo; I must find Naraku" statement.

"Where is he? Answer!" Inu Yasha demanded.

Link was silent.

"Answer me…!"

"No."

"What did you say…?"

"It's too dangerous. I can't let you go." Link answered.

"Answer me before I kill-"

"Inu Yasha! SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled, and made Inu Yasha sit again.

That saved Link,

"SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT! SIT!"

Inu Yasha fell down to the ground more and more.

Whoa! Link thought.

Miroku and Sango also appeared.

"Sango! Are you okay now?" Link asked.

"Yeah… I'm more than okay." Sango replied.

Link smiled back at her comment.

Inu Yasha was getting more ground slaps.

"Kagome, you coming?" Sango asked as she and the others except Kagome and Inu Yasha.

"Okay coming! Sit!"

Inu Yasha slammed on the ground one more time.

"Do I have to suffer this much…" Inu Yasha mumbled.

He followed the rest.
