Seeing Kikyou's face brought memories to his mind, but why was he not happy. Inuyasha looked into her once loving eyes but all her eyes showed now was a cold hatred. She was not the same Kikyou that he fell in love with, but no matter what he still wanted to be with her. Why did he feel as if it was hurting her and him both?
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Shouted Shippou. His tiny body fought the brambles. "Inuyasha, where are you?" he cried as he pushed past another branch.
"What does it matter?" Barked Inuyasha forcing himself out of the tightly packed forest.
" It's Kagome! Kouga had her scent and took off to find her, but now he says she's hurt!" the Kitsune said, rushing back to Miroku and Sango. "Hurt, but I just seen her ten minutes ago, what has that wench got herself into now!" Inuyasha though to himself following the fox out of the forest. Meeting face to face with Kouga. "What did you do to make my Kagome cry half-breed?" he shouted at Inuyasha's face then punching his in the cheek.
"What the hell, I didn't do anything, where is she what happened?" Inuyasha barked back rubbing his face "What did I do?"
"What do you care, you know what go back to that Kikyou. You can leave Kagome with me, someone who actually cares about her!" Kouga hollered at Inuyasha, looking through cold hateful eyes.
"Kikyou-shit, the clearing in the forest." The thought hit Inuyasha. "I do car-… wait how do you know about Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked, praying for the questioned to go unanswered.
"That's what Kagome said to me when I talked to her. I would do anything for Kagome, and here you are chasing around a dead girl! I would give my life for her to look at me the way she looks at you! Why in the hell are you wasting your time on some clay wench?" shouted Kouga. "Because, I love Kikyou!" Inuyasha shouted, trying to convince himself, but the words didn't seem to have any feeling. "No you don't, and even if you did she's DEAD!" Kouga fought back
"Just tell me where Kagome is? Please!" Inuyasha asked nicely
"Home." Kouga replied to the Hanyou.

"Oh Kagome, your home" Kagome's mother said, greeting her with a warm embrace. Kagome's body went limp in her mother's arms.
"Souta, help me take your sister to her room!" she cried picking up Kagome's and placing her onto her back, Souta held his sister onto his mother's back. Kagome was set on her bed, her mother rushed to get the thermometer. Surprised at her daughter steadily rising temperature she ran back downs stairs and gathered a water-filled basin and a wet cloth. Returning upstairs to nurse her daughter.
Inuyasha watched horrified at the action being taken inside Kagome's while he sat outside on the tree directly beside Kagome's bedroom. "Souta grab the phone and dial the ambulance!" Ms. Higirasha shouted from the room, Souta returned with the phone in hand. She took the phone. Inuyasha listened to the conversation. "Yes, I need an ambulance, No I need one right NOW!" she cried into the phone, tears stinging her face. Hanging up the phone she looked to Souta. "They won't be here in time." She said, her voice touching into a whisper.
Inuyasha jumped into the open window and picked up Kagome in his arms. "I'll take her then, Souta get on my back where going to this hospital place." Souta grabbed Inuyasha's hat and hopped onto his back. He directed him to the hospital putting on Inuyasha's hat when they stopped at the doors.
Waiting in the waiting room proved difficult for Inuyasha, often he caught himself pacing back and forth, watching the floor as hours flew by, her mother had gotten there an hour later and fell asleep with Souta. Kagome had been rushed into emergency. the doctors had had a difficult time ceasing the fever that burned in Kagome's body.
When the fever finally leveled, Inuyasha was the first to enter the quiet room. Souta and his mother still asleep on the chairs in the waiting room.
"Mamoko" Kagome mumbled her eyes fluttered as if in a dream. "Please I didn't mean to, help me-…" as if responding on to the murmur a child let out an ear piercing scream. "Hinoko!" Inuyasha said to himself, picking Kagome back up and dashing back to the well.
Down the well Inuyasha could sense Kagome's fever rising again, he rushed towards where Sesshoumaru and the others were staying in kaede's village. When the group was found just outside the village he lay Kagome down at Hinoko's feet. She looked at him with wondering eyes. "Where's Mamoko?" screamed Inuyasha. "Call her to me NOW!" Inuyasha whipped out the tetsisuaga and stuck the ground beside him, creating three ditched in the dirt. Tears welled up in Hinoko's eyes. She starting to scream, forcing the winds to pick up, surrounding the child. "Call her Hinoko, call Mamoko!" Inuyasha screamed again, louder this time, ignoring the weird looks he received from his friends. The winds increase, the child's scream grew louder, scents hit the sky and rain started to pour downs uncontrollably. "HINOKO, CALL HER TO ME, NOW!" Inuyasha screamed for the last time, lighting flashed and thunder rolled, Kilala transformed to keep from blowing away, protecting Shippou, Miroku, and Sango. Kagome's hair whipped around her face. Thunder clashed again, followed by another lighting bolt, which struck the ground before Inuyasha's feet, forming a female dog demon.
"Who are you to call me out of the child!" barked the demon soul. Leveling herself, so she was able to looking into Inuyasha's eyes. "So it's the pathetic half-demon, Inuyasha, why do u call me?" Mocked Mamoko looking harshly at Kagome's motionless fever infested body. "She's stronger then she looks, I thought she would have died by now." She mused.
"You must release her!" ordered Inuyasha, staring the demon right in the face, seeing no emotion of loss or fear.
"You don't have the right to order me around! You mere half demon!" snapped Mamoko sharply. "I despise wenches like her. She's the same sort of reason my last master died. Humans like her are worthless, it's better to just watch her die like this." Mamoko stated with hatred.
"You must-…" Inuyasha started.
"I MUST do nothing you ask of me!" the soul cried her cold eyes, shimmered with fire.
"Please, guardian. Heal this woman, she is kind and has more power then is visible." A grown figure of Hinoko stood where the child once sat. Hinoko was around the age of ten now. Everyone gawked in amazement and confusion. Her hair was coal black. Her eyes shone green, tinted with a deep maroon
"Yes, my lady." Mumbled Mamoko looking down with frustration. Retrieving one of Kagome's strands of hair and broke it in two. Then disappearing into the oncoming night.
"You better protected her with your life." Hinoko stated bluntly.
"Thank you, Hinoko." Inuyasha said as Kagome's eyes fluttered open then quickly closed again.
"Please, call me sister."
