did inuyasha just leave them, he left to find Kikyo, the others are still on the path

in search of Naraku. Ok on with the next chapter.

Inuyasha walked out of the clearing with Kagome at his side. They found the others waiting for them on

the dirt path. Sango walked up to them...she looked worried. "Kagome...what happened? We heard a scream."

Sango looked into her friends eyes, and them looked her over, in search of wounds. Kagome was breathless,

and still in shock and she smiled at Sango and whispered softly "It was...Kikyo...she's...gone." Kagome had a

mixed look between, frightened, shocked, happy, and sad. Sango hugged her and whispered "I know this must

be hard for you Kagome...but now she can rest in peace." Kagome hugged her warmly and smiled and said

"yeah...I guess good things can come out of sad things." She smiled and moved next to Inuyasha and climbed

on his back once again. Inuyasha smirked and looked back at the others "let's get moving...Naraku is near!"

he darted off, down the dirt path, leaving the others in the dust, coughing.

Miroku smiled at Sango and held out his hand, and helped her onto Kirara's back. They took off into the

air, right at Inuyasha's heals. They reached a nearby village in a small time span, and found an abandoned, yet

cozy little shack, to bed down for the night. Sango and Kagome set up their beds and built a warm fire in the

tiny shack, while Inuyasha and Miroku set out to find some dinner. In the hut Kagome was quiet. " I can't...

believe it...she's really gone...she's finally at peace." Kagome thought to herself and smiled. Sango smiled

too, "now they can be together...without any distractions...they can have a family." Sango smiled and

glanced at her companion. "Kagome?" Sango asked. Kagome smiled up at her and she was no longer in

shock.

"Are you alright?" Sango didnt look concerned, but it showed in her voice and eyes. Kagome smiled and

said "Oh Sango...I know I should feel sad...but I don't...I've never felt happier...is that wrong?" Kagome said

with a guilty look in her eyes. Sango laughed and said "Oh Kagome...it's good to be happy...it just shows how

much you love Inuyasha." Kagome smiled and sat by the fire next to Sango, awaiting her lovers return. Miroku

and Inuyasha had captured and killed, four rabbits and many melons in the time it took for the girls to talk.

Both men smiled at their victory. While they walked back to the hut Miroku spoke. "Inuyasha...you seem happy

on the outside...but how do you feel inside?" Miroku was smiling and he had a fatherly look on his face.

Inuyasha sighed and said "you see...i feel bad...because i feel happy...i always thought that I was in love with

Kikyo...that I was ment to be with her always...but I was only infatuated with her, because she showed me

kindness...is that wrong Miroku?" Inuyasha had a cry for advice in his eyes.

Miroku laughed and said " of course not Inuyasha...you have every right to be happy." Inuyasha smiled

and thanked him. They entered the hut to find the girls sitting by a comforting fire, their bedding was spread

out. Inuyasha smiled when he saw them and he held up the food. "dinner anyone?" he had a gorgeous smile

on his face. Kagome felt warm and tingly inside when she saw it. She smiled and kissed him and said "thanks

Inuyasha...and Miroku." she smiled at them both. Inuyasha walked outside, and he and Kagome cleaned the

rabbits. Miroku sat next to Sango and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and smiled and whispered "are

you ok Sango?" Sango leaned against him and whispered "yeah...do you think...that we will be able to free

Kohaku?" She looked sad. Miroku smiled and said "I don't have any doubts Sango...as soon as we kill Naraku

I will marry you, and I will take care of both you and your brother Kohaku...he'll be fine." he kissed her.

Tears shimmered from the light of the fire, in her eyes and she smiled and whispered "thank you Miroku."

She hugged him and they pulled apart when Inuyasha and Kagome entered the hut with the food. They placed

it over the fire, and soon they had a delicious meal ready. They ate in silence, but it was a good kind of silence.

The kind of silence in which a whole conversation is made, but not spoken. After they had finished eating,

Kagome stood up suddenly and looked at the others "I sense a sacred jewel shard...it's tainted." Inuyasha

pulled her onto his back and looked at the others, they were already on their feet and headed for a now

transformed Kirara. They all took off together in the direction that Kagome had pointed. In seconds they found

Kohaku, Kagura, Kana, and Naraku waiting for them. "It's a trap, we can't take them all at the same time!"

Inuyasha scowled. Suddenly Sesshomaru stepped out of the woods, and stood at his brother's side. "Inuyasha

I will assist you...but only because I Sesshomaru, have a score to settle with this Naraku." Inuyasha wasnt

happy, but they needed all the help they could get, so he simply nodded and unsheathed Tetsusaiga.

Kagome readied her bow and arrow, Sango had Haraikotsu held high above her head, and Miroku

had his staff out in front of him. Sesshomaru's hands were glowing green, and he had unsheathed his deadly

demon sword as well (I forgot the name of his sword haha, it was like Goshinki or somethin ). Naraku

laughed and held up his hand. In a split second, Kagura unleashed Dance of The Dragon, Kohaku charged

at the group, and Kana held up her soul sucking mirror. Inuyasha and the others however were ready for a

sudden attack, and Kagome had already fired an arrow at Kana's mirror, Sango was in battle with her brother,

Miroku took on Kagura, and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru charged at Naraku. Naraku's group was taken by

surprise, and so their attack was weak. Sango pinned her brother to the ground, Kagome had broken Kana's

mirror, and Miroku split Kagura's fan in half with his staff.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were still trying to hit Naraku, but he dodged every attack. Sango was crying

and she looked her brother in the eyes and whispered "Kohaku...I won't kill you...I love you brother." For a

moment Kohaku's eyes transformed out of their usual hypnotised look and a tear fell from his eye. But then

his eyes returned under Naraku's spell. Kagura was furious that her precious fan was ripped and she grabbed

Miroku by the throte and started strangling him, her eyes were glowing red. Miroku gasped for air, and his

eyes were full of terror. Naraku laughed at every attack the brothers threw at him and he eventuallly grew bored

and stabbed them both in the gut with a powerfull tentacle looking piece of his flesh. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru

both clutched their wounds and panted, it seemed like they were going to lose this battle. Kagome was having

better luck then the others. Kana's mirror was broken and she smiled, proud of herself.

But just when it seemed that she would win, an arrow was shot out of the woods and hit Kagome

directly in her left side. Kagome crumpled to the ground in shock and disbelieve. Her eyes felt heavy, she was

losing a lot of blood, and darkness continued to engulf her vision. Just before she blacked out, she saw a

young woman step out of the woods...it was Kikyo, Kagome heard Inuyasha scream out Kagome's name

just before her senses cut out, she oculd no longer hear, tast, smell, or feel. It terrified her. Kikyo stepped

from the shadows and smiled because she had hit her mark just right. Inuyasha's eyes were glowing a deep

red, and he was growling deep in his throte. He stared at Kikyo with hatred and he wanted to rip her apart.

Sesshomaru was keeping Naraku at bay, and Miroku had cut off Kagura's arm with his staff. He pinned

her to the ground. Sango was still crying over her brother. Kagome was limp on the ground, and she looked

pale. Inuyasha was furious and he stared at Kikyo "you...were dead!" he screamed. Kikyo smirked and said

"that was mearly a demon puppet you fool!" This only made Inuyasha angrier and he charged at her and his

claws grew in length. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kagome's limp body on the ground. Kikyo never

even had a chance to run away. Inuyasha pinned her to the ground and he was snargling and growling.

Kikyo screamed and pushed him off. Inuyasha did the wind scar and this time, it was no demon puppet.

A sharp, blood curdling scream echoed throughout the trees, and Kikyo was nothing more then a pile of

ashes. Inuyasha was panting and he ran to Kagome's side and placed her head gently in his lap. He had

tears in his eyes and he realized suddenly that Kagome was the only person that he had ever shown tears

for, and he had done it twice. He let the tears fall and he nuzzled her and whispered "Kagome...please wake

up." He burried his face in her hair and his body was racked with loud sobs.
