You must've liked the first ch. if you're reading this one. I own InuYasha, so I'm giving you what I think should happen after the miasma incident. – kittenkode

Sango and Miroku were gathering up firewood when they heard InuYasha say, "She's taking too long. I'm going to go get her!" "No, InuYasha! Kagome is strong. She can take care of herself," Miroku said bopping InuYasha on the head. "Grrrrrrrr…" InuYasha growled angrily. "But can't I just see if she needs help?" InuYasha whined. "Miroku's right InuYasha. Whatever it is Kagome can handle it," Sango said knowingly. Sango flinched and slapped her fiancé. "Hey Miroku! Keep your hands to yourself for once, would ya?" Sango yelled. While all of this was happening, InuYasha snuck out of the woods and hurried to the stream. Hey, wait a minute. I know this scent! It's… Kikyo! InuYasha thought. But why is she so close to Kagome? He quickened his pace, while at the hut, Sango and Miroku just realized that InuYasha was missing. "Oh no! Kagome is going to be…" Sango said trying to find the word Kagome used when she was mad. "Furious!" Miroku cried. "Let's go Sango!" "Kirara!(pronounced kilala)" Sango said, slipping into her slayers outfit. "Let's go!" Kirara transformed and Sango and Miroku hopped onto her back. They flew off toward the stream. InuYasha hurried off toward Kagome's and Kikyo's scent, when Kikyo's scent just cut off. That's strange, InuYasha thought. So he just hurried toward Kagome, thinking about the miasma and how Kikyo could still be alive. "Kagome!" InuYasha cried. Damn! Who could have done this to you? InuYasha thought hatefully. He leaned down and held Kagome in his arms. "You're barely breathing," he whispered. Then he felt like he was being watched, so he quickly but carefully put Kagome down and started to turn a deep red because there stood Miroku and Sango staring at him. Sango rushed up, tears in her eyes. "Oh, Kagome! Who did this to you?" she asked, crying. InuYasha's redness disappeared. "I don't care who did it, but whoever did is damn right gonna pay!" InuYasha said. He picked her up bridal style and hurried back to Keade's hut. Keade checked Kagome over and said, "Almost all of her soul is gone. She only has five days to live." "Is there anything we can do?" InuYasha asked urgently. Keade's eyes widened. "Yes, but it is most difficult. Ye must find the person who took Kagome's soul and kill that person," Keade said. "Then that's what I'll do," InuYasha said. He began to walk out the door. "Wait, InuYasha! We are coming with you!" Sango said. "Fine, but I'm chopping off the head of whomever took Kagome's soul!" InuYasha exclaimed. "Well, let's go then," Miroku said. So they began the search for whomever took Kagome's soul. They went to the stream and looked in the woods for traces of whomever took Kagome's soul. Just then Sango found a ribbon on a branch. That's Kikyo's ribbon! InuYasha thought. Why Kikyo? Why did you do that to Kagome? Do you despise her that much?

End of ch.2! Next time: will InuYasha go through with finding and killing Kikyo? - kittenkode
