Chapter 7:

I see her there in your heart

"You know Kikyo..."

Inuyasha said shocked.

"Yes...and I know you love her Inuyasha...when you embraced me I saw her there in your heart,like your past had been showed to me..."

She got up and walked to Kagome's window.

"You love her deeply...more than I knew you could love someone..."

Tears fell from Mai's eyes as the wind from the window blew her hair that was in a ponytail.

"It was like you loved her more than I..."

She said in a whisper.Inuyasha heard it.

"That's no-

"Inuyasha...Im leaving."

She said jumping out the windown landing on her feet and running to the well house.

"Inuyasha...is that true you loved Kikyo more than you ever loved Mai?"

"I..."

"Inuyasha...I saw how sad she looked she must of did something for you that she risked something in the process."

"She risked her life to save mine."

"So how can you put Kikyo before her...Mai cared so much and risked her LIFE! for you Kikyo wanted to change you...Mai loved you the way you are...just like me."

"Kagome..."

"Don't worry about me...make Mai feel like she is something important to you!"

Kagome said with a smile.

With Mai...

She had went back to her old village and she was greeted with happiness.

"You are still alive great princess...we regret our great grand fsthers did such things."

Said an village man.

"It is okay..."

Mai said smiling.she went to her grave and digged up her body and got her sword,arrows,and necklace...her clothes and flesh had been eaten by the worms.

"I kept another pair of my outfit."

She said going to her old hut that had been cleaned and kept sacred.She saw her clothes she alway wore and put them on with her white socks and black flat shoes. she had took her hair out of the crunchie and had put on a red ribbon.

"I feel like...I never died."

She said spining around as her dress spun around.She had started to leave the village the villager followed.

"We will follow you princess..."

An elderly woman said.

"I think I know a villiage were you can live and see me more often."

She had walked them to Kaede's village.

At Kaede's...

"Mai...ye had died how are ye still alive?"

"I shall tell you that later but can my people live here?"

"Sure we have enough room and huts available"

Kaede said pointing all around.

"Mai..."

Inuyasha said.

"Mai turned around...Inuyasha I have no time for you."

She said leaving.Kaede didn't know Inuyasha knew her.

"Thank you Lady Kaede I will take some visits as I look for someone."

She said Kaede nodded.Mai started to leave but she had bumped into someone.

"Hey your not Kagome!"

Koga said he the saw Mai's face and remembered her.

FlashBack

Koga was young at the time he was punching tree's.

"I will be unstoppable!I will be the best Prince ever!"

Koga said.He then heard something he saw a young girl walking.

"Uh...why are you here?"

"No reason just enjoying how the sun shines through the tree's."

She said smiling.

"Well demons will find you and eat you."

"If so would you protect me...The best Prince ever?"

Koga blushed and smiled she had captured his heart.

"You think I Koga am the best Prince ever."

"That's what Mai...said."

She said giggling.

"I will protect you from now on."

"Okay...better hope you don't lose me!"

Mai said.

"I won't...because Im the best Prince ever."

"My hero!"

She said.she then kept walking and he lost sight of her and never saw her again.

Koga smiled.Mai looked up and smiled as well.Inuyasha started fuming.Sango,Miroku,and Shippo came out and watched.

"Hello best prince ever."

Mai said smiling.

"What!"

Inuyasha said burning hot as the earth's core.

"Koga...why are you here?"

Mai asked.

"Well I came here to see Kagome."

He said .

"Oh...well I better be off!"

She said leaving.

MeanWhile at Naraku's castle...

"That can't be her!"

Naraku said looking at Kanna's mirror as an Image of Mai walking in the forest was seen.

"She...she is alive."

Naraku said touching the mirror.

"She will be with me once again!"
