While that was happening Kagome was currying Wonder's coat. When she finished that, she got up and heard the stable door open and then close. (NOTE: I didn't put slam 4 a reason, it's because some horses are afraid of loud noises or thunder, not particularly great show horses but they will do.) She picked up and grabbed the grooming box and walked out of the stall, closing the stall door securely, she saw Inuyasha. "Hey Kagome" said Inuyasha. "Hey" said Kagome "What are you doing here?" "Just checking on Beauty, you?" "Just apologizing to Wonder for not taking her on the promised trail ride and grooming her, she seems to have forgiven me." Inuyasha smiled and Kagome put her grooming box in the tack room. "Well I gotta go before Sango does something crazy with the pizza she's supposed to be ordering." Inuyasha smiled and said "Let me walk you to your apartment." Kagome smiled and said "Okay" Inuyasha said a good night to Beauty and they both left the stables carefully closed the door. The skies were threatening to rain on them right then and there. So they ran to Kagome's complex. Inuyasha and Kagome went up to Kagome's room.

When they walked in, it was completely dark. "That's funny. Sango has better sense to turn on the light before she does anything else." Kagome said. "Yeah, I know." Inuyasha replied. Kagome walked to the other end of the room and flipped on the switch. When the light flooded the room, they both noticed that there was a note on Kagome's desk. The note was scrawled in neat black ink, it looked like the note it took time to compose something that perfect. It read:

Dear Kagome,

If you want to see your best friend back, well let's just say it's not that easy. Don't worry, she's still on campus and everything, but she won't be attending class or sleeping in your apartment. Don't worry I'll return her to you as soon as you do what I want you to do, I'll leave notes where you can see them, it'll be obvious and Inu-honey, if you're reading this with your Kagome dearie, you should know we kidnapped Miroku too. You both won't see them until our circumstances are met and we are pleased. Ok? Have a good nite…oh and don't tell the teachers or we'll kill your friends Meet our Circumstances

Wishes and screams,

Kikyo and Naraku

"Oh my god!" cried Kagome. "What?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome held out the note and said "Read this." Inuyasha took the note and about 20 seconds later, Inuyasha was cursing under his breath. Kagome was already walking to the little kitchenette, Inuyasha head the stove go on and he walked over to the kitchen. In the girls' rooms, there was a wall separating the bedroom from the kitchen. Inuyasha stood there with the note still in his hands. "What are you goanna do? 'Cause you do know it's not the time to cook right?" "Of course I'm not goanna cook. Give me the note." "WHAT!" Inuyasha said after realizing what she was going to do.

After thinking about it for like a minute, Inuyasha pulled back, with the note still in his hand. Kagome said "Inuyasha you have to give it to me, I have to burn it, if somebody else finds out Kikyo and Naraku will kill them and Sango and Miroku, and not to mention us, and I for one am not ready to die without having Naraku or Zanku killed by at least one of my swords." Inuyasha looked at her face and then to the wall. "Inuyasha, I think you want to kill Naraku yourself right?" Inuyasha looked at her and asked "How did you know?" Kagome turned off the stove and said "Miroku and Sango told me." Inuyasha looked at her and said "I'm gonna kill them when we get them back" Kagome ignored that and said "Want to tell me what really happened between you and Kikyo or I can go into your memory and see it myself."
