Kagome is quite ooc (out of character) in this chapter and the fallowing 2 as well… more in this one though…
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine!
-Chapter 3: Setting goals and taking aim! -
After being almost killed 8 different times, she finally reached the springs. Kikyou wasn't there.
"Where is she?" Kagome asked herself.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped behind her. "Why'd you come here?"
"Because." Kagome stated as she turned around. She was bleeding in more than one place.
"Kagome." Inuyasha stepped forward. "What happened?"
"Demons." Kagome looked up at the steamed tree leaves. "Quite a few of them. I won though…"
"How?" Inuyasha stepped closer again.
"I'm on a mission I have to complete." Kagome answered simply.
"May I…" Inuyasha started saying something but got cut off.
"No, you may not ask," Kagome suddenly lost interest in the leaves and looked at him. "Because I know you'll try to stop me…"
Inuyasha was shocked that she would actually say something like that to him. He tried to embrace her when a tear ran down her face but she pushed him away…
"No, I'm fine." Kagome looked him in his eyes.
"Well, if it's dangerous, maybe…" Inuyasha was cut off again.
"No, if you come, you'll find out and stop me. I need to do this alone." Kagome said sadly. More tears fell down her face but she dried them quickly. She looked back at Inuyasha. Pushing him in the springs, she did only one thing.
"Sit!" he went straight to the bottom.
-End Flashback-
((A/N: Wow. That took a while. 2 chapters!))
She found her sitting in a tree.
"Kikyou!" Kagome yelled. She looked down.
"Kagome?" Kikyou's soul collectors helped her down.
"You remember when you took half my soul?" Kagome asked.
"Yes," Kikyou took another soul from one of her collectors.
"Well, do you want the other half?" Kagome asked innocently.
"Is this a trick?" Kikyou was getting more suspicious by the second.
"Inuyasha still loves you, Kikyou." Kagome started explaining as a visitor hid in the bushes. They're eyes narrowed. "I love Inuyasha and I know you do too." The stranger's eyes opened wide… they blushed. "I though that since he loves you, maybe if I become apart of you, he will love me too… Deal?"
"Kagome what is wrong with you?" Kikyou asked calmly.
"Look, what would you do for Inuyasha's heart?" Kagome opened her arms wide.
"A lot more than dying. I would come back from Hell for him." Kikyou's collectors brought her her bow and arrows. She took aim. "I already did." The stranger shifted uncomfortably.
Kikyou's arm steadied and fired. The stranger ran out of the bushes.
"No! Kagome!"

The First: The arrow hit it's mark….
The Second: It misses because of the stranger…
