A white haired youkai sat cross legged on the wooden floor of Kaede's hut. Waiting impatiently for his female friend to arrive. Sango and Miroku noticed why he was so fidgety and assured him that she was fine.
"Kagome is a tough girl... InuYasha." Said Miroku while smiling at him.
"Yes... She can handle herself." Sango said, patting InuYasha's back.
"Maybe you two are right?" InuYasha said quietly.
"Of course we are!" Miroku and Sango shouted at the same time.
InuYasha smiled and began to relax, he stopped fidgeting and sat still. Sango and Miroku were happy that they made the youkai feel
better. They smiled back at InuYasha and Kaede came into the hut with food. Sango got up and helped the old priestess cook dinner.
They skinned the animals that Kaede had gathered and put it over the fire so it would cook.
The fire was calming to InuYasha and stared at it mezmerized by the dancing flames...

Kagome stood in Naraku's room and waited for him to break the silence... Sooner than Kagome thought the evil man spoke in a low husky voice...
"Why what a surprise to see you here Kagome..."
"I came to ask you for a request." Calmly spoke Kagome, staring him straight in the eye with no fear.
"What ever is it that you request for?" Asked Naraku with an evil smirk plastered on his face.
"I need your help..." Started Kagome.
"You can make human puppets... can you not?"
"Yes I am capable of creating realistic looking puppets..." Quietly said Naraku.
"Make a human puppet of me..." Demanded Kagome turning away.
"Why do you need one?" Naraku asked with curiousity.
"I will explain myself once the puppet is complete..." Finished Kagome as she walked out of the room.
Naraku nodded his head and began to make a replica of Kagome. He has made puppets before and so he had alot of experience with it.
It took him only an hour and a half to make a human puppet of Kagome. It was identicle to the real one but it wasn't quite complete.
In order for it to move and speak, it would need a strand of hair and a drop of blood from the original.
Kagome walked into the room to check on how Naraku was making out. She saw that he was staring at her and thought that he must want something...? She looked over to the puppet and was astonished! There lying on the floor was another Kagome, she was indeed happy with the results but didn't show it. The puppet didn't have any clothes on and her hair covered her naked chest...
"This is an acceptable puppet..." Said Kagome looking at the replica.
"It won't move or speak unless you give me a strand of hair and some of your blood..." Spoke Naraku in a low voice.
Kagome pulled out a strand of hair and placed it on the puppet's chest. Naraku gave her a small dagger and told her to let the blood fall onto the puppet. Kagome pierced through the skin on her index finger and let some blood drip onto the replica of her...
Instantly the human puppet absorbed the hair and the blood. It's eyes opened and stared at Kagome, with a sad expression on her face.
Naraku gave Kagome a silk green kimono for her to wear, since the doll needed her school uniform.
"Now why did you want me to make a puppet of you?" Asked Naruto crossing his hands over his chest.
"Because your going to kill it." Began Kagome with an expressionless face.
"Kill the puppet in front of InuYasha and the others... make them believe that I'm dead and leave."
"Don't worry I have had lots of practice with killing people..." Laughed Naraku, standing up.
He lead Kagome and the puppet to a room where they could change and waited for them to emerge. Sooner then he thought Kagome and the puppet walked out and waited for Naraku to give them orders.
"I will go now with the puppet and..." Began Naraku.
"I will leave and find somewhere else to go..." Said Kagome while walking down the long hallway.
"Kill her any way you like."
She continued to walk down the hallway and left the castle, heading further north. Naraku took a look at the puppet he created and smiled when he saw how much it resembled the real Kagome.
"Come with me... Kagome." Said Naraku with a smile playing across his face.
"Yes Naraku..." Said the puppet while following him outside.
When Naraku and the puppet where outside of the castle he explained what she would do. She agreed and walked to where Naraku told her to go. He smirked and waited till the puppet was out of sight before he slowly followed behind her.

InuYasha was now pacing around inside the hut, Kagome was still not back... Sango and Miroku noticed how much he was just itching to run out the door.
"InuYasha lets go and find her..." Announced Miroku, standing up and grabbing his staff.
Sango also grabbed her weapon and both walked out of the hut and followed behind the youkai. He was running faster then usual and
a look of worry was glued onto his face. They ran towards the springs and saw no Kagome, all 3 of them looked around for the miko.
No sign of her... They all ran deep into the forest and saw someone standing with their back facing them.
InuYasha noticed the outfit the person had on and his face changed from worried to relieved. They began to run towards Kagome and suddenly saw something run by Kagome and strike her on the shoulder. She fell to the ground and into a pool of her blood, InuYasha ran to her side but was pushed away by... Naraku!
He looked at Naraku and unsheathed tesiauga, lunging at him but was easily dogged and hit from behind. InuYasha smashed into a tree and picked himself up. Running towards Naraku in hopes that he would kill him, he was thrown again and landed beside Kagome's bloody body. Her mouth was slightly ajar and her eyes were opened widely... Before InuYasha's hand could reach the miko's body, Naraku had struck her body once again with one of his tentacles. Kagome's body slowly dicipated due to the poisonous miasma that had entered inside her...
"Ka... Kagome..." InuYasha said quietly at first and then it got louder.
"KAGOME!"
Naraku laughed and turned towards his castle, his job was done... InuYasha didn't even bother chasing after Naraku. He laid there on the
ground with tears slowly running down his face. Sango burried her face into Miroku's kimono and cried like she never cries before.
Miroku followed suit and cried with Sango. InuYasha never moved from the spot where he lay and continued to cry...
The sun was already setting and the sky grew darker, turning from orange and then black... InuYasha remembered how he and Kagome had slept up in a tree and awoken in his arms...
"That was the last time I had touched her before this happened..." He said weakily.
InuYasha's face was red and his eyes were sore from crying so much.
Sango stopped sobbing and was now standing up and walking towards Kaede's hut. Miroku followed her, wiping away the remaining tears that
were still lingering on his face. InuYasha slowly got up and walked behind Miroku and Sango.
The cool night air was refreshing and the wind made his hair blow and sway... He cried silently behind his two friends and then using his kimono sleeve dried his wet teared face. He stopped and stared up at the full moon and whispered.
"I have to be strong... for Kagome..."
A single tear rolled down his cheek and he wiped it away with his thumb, walking once again surrounded by the darkness of the night...
