Chapter 8 Kagome and Kikyo's promise

"I have to hurry and get to Kagome!" Thought Inuyasha as he ran towards the mountain. "Inuyasha!" Yelled Sango from the sky. "Hey where's Kagome!"

"A spirit named Kacajo ambushed us and ripped my Wind Tunnel open so I can't use it for a while." Said Miroku. "Alright then." Replied Inuyasha. "Then relax here for a while and I'll still look for Kagome."

"Be careful there is another spirit with him." Said Shippo. "The Wind Spirit Kacajo."

"So there's two of them there for sure huh?" asked Inuyasha. "Fine!" And with that he ran off. "Do you think he can do it?" asked Shippo with a worried voice. "No one but Inuyasha can do it. Miroku said trying to reassure Shippo. As they tried to calm Shippo down, he noticed white soul collectors flying across the sky. "Look up there!" He yelled. "It's Kikyo's soul collectors!"

"Why are they here?" Miroku said looking up."Maybe Kikyo is headed to the mountain." Sango said in a worried tone of voice. "Why are you worried about Kikyo?" Asked Miroku. Sango looked at him. "Your worried about Kagome and her together."

Meanwhile at the mountain: "We can use her as bait said Kacajo to lure out her friends."

"Yes." replied Mono. "But what about the Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and the dead priestess Kikyo?"

"We'll worry about them later."

"Right now I am going to look for the others." Said Mono. "Make sure she does not get away."

" Yeah yeah." And with that he fell asleep. As he left Kagome woke up in a daze from the attack earlier. Where am I?" she asked herself as noticed she was in a big hut with windows and weapons lying all over the place and a fire brewing under the stove. "I must be with the spirits?" She thought. "How am I going to get out of here!" she yelled. "How about calming down so I can help?" Said a calm voice outside the window. Kagome turned and saw Kikyo flying on her soul collectors. "Kikyo!"

"What are you doing here!" she asked with a loud tone. "Shh!"

"You want him to hear you?" Kikyo said trying to shut her up.

"Why do want to help me?" She asked. "I will help you on one condition"

"What is that?" She asked back. "Tell me what your connection to Inuyasha is like."

"What!" Kagome could not believe what she just heard.

"Why do you want to know!"

"Because you always complain that this world is so different and you always put Inuyasha into series of trouble."

"Why?"

"Why are you asking and teeling me this!" She yelled as tears started to fall from her eyes."

"You don't belong here and yet you insist on trying."

"WHY!" Kikyo yelled.

"BECAUSE I LOVE INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed with all her heart.

"What is going on in there!" A voice called out. It was Kacajo! "Let's get out of here." Kikyo whispered. She grabs Kagome and fly away on her soul collectors. WHy did you just save me?" Asked Kagome. "Because I want to continue our conversation." As she settles down and the soul collectors fly away. "I am happy." said Kikyo looking straight at Kagome. "What!"

"Why!" asked Kagome shocked. "Because you conquered your fear and told me how you feel." said Kikyo with a smile on her face. "You have shown that you can fight your fear and that can handle the pressure of losing Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha's bond with me will never be broken and he will never forget about me." Said Kikyo smiling.

"But you were so worried about him forgetting you that it turned into jealousy and that turned to darkness." She continued to speak.

"But I don't care what Inuyasha decides to do after Naraku is sent to hell and you should not neither."

"If you want him to be happy then let him make his own decisions."

"Okay I promise that I will not get angry at Inuyasha." Said Kagome

"He won't forget either of us but only one of us can be with him." Kikyo continued.

"So we must promise that we will not get angry with his decision."

"All right I won't." Kagome smiled back. They shook hands and went to find Inuyasha.
