Bankotsu talking to Sasuke

Sasuke talking to Bankotsu

Chapter 8- Farewell to friend. Or is it foe?

The gang was walkign again, looking for the remaining Soul Catchers. Inuyasha was in the lead, with an angered look on his face. While Sasuke was a good ways behind everyone else. He looked sad, and was deep in thought. As was Inuyasha, he just didn't show it. How could he be what he said he is? Inuyasha thought, How is it possible? He glanced over his shoulder, and looked at the solem monkey. He was starign at the ground with his tail dragging on the floor, and from Inuyasha's nose, was very sad. He hated the sent people gave on when they were depressed. Apparently it was the same for half humans.

Meanwhile Sasuke was deep in his own thoughts. Is it true what Bankotsu said? He thought. He let off a depressed sigh and glanced to make sure he didn't fall to far behind the rest of the group. When he did, he saw Inuyasha looking at him, aith a stern glare fixed on his face. Sasuke cringed from Inuyasha's glare, and looked back towards the ground.

Why are you so timid? Stand up to him! You know you can, I've done it.

That was you, not me.

It was your body.

Sasuke didn't respsond. He knew if he wanted to he could atleast stand up to Inuyasha. But that was against his nature. He tried to avoid conflict unless defending someone dear to him. He sighed again. I hate my life.

With Kagome

Kagome climbed out of the well just in time to see an elderly woman in a Miko outfit walking towards the village. Kagome was no longer in her school uniform. Now she had on some blue jeans and a long black shirt on. She also had black shoes. She smiled and ran over to elderly woman.

"Kaede!" Kagome said, happily.

"Kagome?" asked the elderly woman, "How did ye get here? I sealed the well."

"I broke the seal with a sacred arrow." Kagome said, "Why did you seal it anyway?"

"There is a new vile force afoot and Inuyasha wanted ye to stay put of it."

"Can you tell me where Inuyasha went?"

"He headed off towards the Demon Slayer Village last I saw."

"Thanks Kaede." Kagome said, before she ran off.

"I wish ye luck, child." Kaede said, before continuing her walk back to the village.

Inuyasha and crew

Shiori watched as Sasuke's facial expressions changed. He must be talking to that guy. She thought. It must be hard for him, being forced to share his body with another. Shiori stopped and waited for Sasuke to catch up. When he did Shiori caught him in am embrace. This startled Sasuke out of his conversation with his 'guest'.

"Sasuke, are you aright?" she asked, with a concerned expression on her face.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Sasuke said, putting on an obviously fake smile.

"You never were a very good lier, Sasuke." Shiori said. Sasuke sighed.

"I'm just going through a lot. I'll be fine." Sasuke said, not wanting Shiori to worry about him to much.

"But..."

"Shiori, I'm going to be fine." Sasuke said, "Trust me."

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Promise me you'll come back."

"I promise.I'll be watching over you." Sasuke said, as a gust of wind, carrying a bunch of leaves came. When the breeze stopped Sasuke was gone. Shiori whispered a good bye, and ran back to Inuyasha.

Kagome

"Where is he?" Kagome asked as she walked slong a river. "I've been to a beach a scary castle, and two villages! Where can he be?"

"I don't know." said a small fox demon from Kagome's shoulder.

"Shippo, did he say anything about where he was going?"

"Well, he did say something about a witch." Shippo said, "And he has Shiori and a monkey demon with him!"

"Yeah, Miroku told me." Kagome said, "I wish I knew where he was."
"Hey, whats that?" Shippo asked, pointing to a blue sphear flying past.
"I don't know, lets follow it."

Inuyasha

"Where'd it go?" Inuyasha asked, as they enteres a clearing.

"There!" Kohaku said, from Kirara's back, and pointed to said orb.

"Come." Inuyasha said, and gave chase, with Kirara, who was carrying both Shiori and Kohaku, followed.

Sasuke

"Hey, theres an orb." said the monkey demon.

Yeah, lets follow it. It might lead us to Yuna.

"Okay." Sasuke said, and jumped from the tree he was resting in.

Yuna

"Hmm, looks like there might be more problems than I thought." she said, looking at Kagome through her Crystal Ball, "Thats Kikyo's reincarnation. She could pose just as large a problem as Inuyasha. Let us check up on Bankotsu, shall we?"

Her Crystal Ball changed, and instead of Kagome, Sasuke was pictured inside. He was watching Inuyasha and his group enter the village Yuna was taking refuge in. Yuna slammed her fist on the table and let off a fustrated growl.

Inuyasha

"This place has no people in it." Inuyasha said, "Why would the sphear lead us here?"

"Inuyasha?" came a voice from a few houses down.

"Kah-Kagome?" Inuyasha stuttered, "How the hell did you get back!"

"Hi to you too!" Kagome said, angrily. "I broke the seal."

"Well, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked, fustrated.

"I came looking for you. Kaede told me everything. I'm here to help."

"I see you brought Shippo." Inuyasha said, causing Shippo to pop put of Kagome's bag.

"How did you know?" he asked.

"When was the last time you bathed?" Inuyasha asked, "You smell worse than usual."

Sasuke

Well, well, well, its Kikyo's reincarnation.

Kagome?

Yes, she could help us find Yuna.

End Chapter. Please, R and R.
