Thanks to all of you that are reading. Agian I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter Five:
The woods were still bright for the aura of Naraku still had not reached them. Kikyou walked along with Sango and Miroku as ahead of them Kagome was talking with Inuyasha. They looked happy and Kikyo felt that pain of sadness. "Did I really love him like that? Does that matter? We are to be together. This is my chance to be with him." Kikyou was still in thought when she walked right into Inuyasha who had stopped. "Oh sorry." Inuyasha turned and looked at her. "That's fine. Sango, Kagome needs to talk to you." Sango came to see what Kagome wanted. "Sango could we go back to your village?" "Why?" "I was hoping you could help me make a weapon to use with my good hand while my wrist heals." "Oh yea. I think we might still have a few things left there." Kagome and Sango went to the slayer village on Kirara leaving the others to keep going north.

Sango was looking through all the old weapons when she found something. "Here." Sango handed Kagome a large ring that was made out of a demon's bone. "This will act just like my weapon only lighter and you can connect it to you waist like this." Kagome smiled. "Should we try it out before I have to fight with it?" "Sure." The two stayed all day as Kagome practiced with the new weapon she had to remember not to try and catch it with her good hand. She and Sango had a good time and it reminded Sango of Kohaku. They had told him to stay hidden in the south until they had a chance to destroy Naraku. They sat to rest as the sky was turning to night. "Wow we spent all day here." "Yeah I guess we should sleep here and meet up with the others in the morning." Sango and Kagome curled up with Kirara and feel fast asleep.

As Miroku and Inuyasha walked with Shippo and Kikyou nothing much was said. The night came and the girls had not returned. Then when they woke the next morning the girls still were not back. "I think we should still keep going." "I know. I wish those two would hurry up." Kikyou was looking at a tree ahead of them and then she noticed that they weren't alone. "Guys I hate to say this but I think Naraku found us." Inuyasha and Miroku looked out to see two figures walking towards them. The aura around them was dark. "That's them alright." Inuyasha and Miroku started to run at them.
Naraku and Kagura stopped letting them get inches from their bodies. "Be gone you two." The power Naraku held pushed both boys to the side. He continued walking. "Kikyou!" Shippo could see the man coming at the two of them. "Transform." Shippo turned into a bird and took Kikyou high about the trees. "Kagura." Kagura rose into the air and started to chase little Shippo. "Help!" Shippo was trying hard to get away but Kagura was catching up. "Take this." Kikyou took her shot and hit the feather making Kagura fall to the floor. "Wow good shot Kikyo." Kikyou smiled but it was too soon for then the wind around them picked up and little Shippo was hit with wind blades. He and Kikyou fell to the ground hard. Inuyasha and Miroku ran to their aid to find that Shippo was out cold and Kikyou seemed to be fine.
"So where is the demon slayer and Kagome did I hurt them that bad." Inuyasha turned to him. "Wouldn't you like to know?" Inuyasha and Miroku again attacked but this time Naraku let out a large fireball. "Inuyasha! Kikyou." "Shit!"

Kagome and Sango were looking for their friends when they saw Shippo and Kikyou fall from the sky. "There must be over there." "Yeah but it looks like Naraku and Kagura found them first." Kirara flew faster and landed in front of a large fireball before it could hit Kikyou. "So there you girls are." Kagome jumped down and checked to see if Kikyou was okay. "Looks like she's okay." Kagome and Sango ran to join Miroku and Inuyasha. "Ha don't be a fool Kagome. I can see that your wrist is broken." Everyone but Kagome seemed to be surprised. "I can still hurt you Naraku." Kagome and Sango tossed their weapons. Sango's was meet with demon hands stopping it. Kagome's seemed to light up with power and took those hands down and Sango's weapon pushed Naraku into a tree. "How it this possible?" Kagome went to catch the weapon. "Kagome your other hand." Kagome switched her good hand at the last minute to catch her weapon. "Thanks Sango."
Naraku looked up at the group. "I have had enough of this. Kagura." Kagura appeared and sent a large wind towards Kikyo. At the same time Naraku started to shake the earth and it broke behind Kikyo. "KIKYOU!" Everyone was in shock she was going to get pushed over the edge. Kagome was the only one who moved. As the wind moved Kikyou and she was about to drop she felt two hands grab her's. She looked up to find Kagome holding her. "Why?" "Look I've told you this over and over. I don't hate you. I want to be your friend and I will always be here for you." As Kagome held Kikyou she wasn't ready for the next wind that came crashing down on them. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Kagome and Kikyou were both now about to go over the edge.
"Sango Miroku take care of Kagura." Inuyasha ran and took hold of Kagome's good hand as Kikyou had her broken hand. "Come on hold on you two." Inuyasha was pulling them up when he felt a body next to him. "I don't think so half-breed." As Naraku got ready to knock them all the edge when he was pushed over.
"Kouga!" Inuyasha was actually happy to see that stupid wolf. Kouga ran over and pulled Inuyasha up and Kikyou and Kagome both came flying up as well. "I thought I smelled that demon." Kouga turned back to see that Naraku was already getting back up. "I though you'd come wolf." Naraku started release tons of demon arms and they came flying at Kouga and Inuyasha. "How dare you!" Inuyasha and Kouga started to tear through the arms with their claws with ease. As they fought through the arms of demons Kagome took Kikyou and started to run away from the fight. "What are you doing?" "I'm getting us far away from Naraku as we can." Kikyou could tell that Kagome's arm was worse since she had been holding it for a while as they were hanging over the edge. "What about your arm?" "I'll look at it when we find a safe spot." Kagome pulled Kikyou with her and they kept running. Kikyou forgot about her hate and fear of Kagome as they ran. Soon they were far away from the battle and Kagome stopped to look at her arm. "Damn it looks like I made it worse." "Kagome I'm sorry." Kagome turned to her and smiled. "No worries I figured it would happen but I couldn't let you go over the edge like that." Kikyou smiled but felt the guilt in her. "How could I hate her? She could never hurt me the way I was going to hurt her. I was thinking about pulling her down." Kikyou's eyes filled with tears and she looked at Kagome. "I am so sorry!" Kagome took her hand. "You didn't do anything." Kikyou let Kagome hug her as she cried a little more. Kagome felt a pulse come from Kikyou. "What is this? It's like another person sits in there with Kikyou. Who ever it is she is full of hate." Kikyou let go to wipe the tears. "Did she just feel the darkness that sits in my heart the hateful me that what's her to die?" Kagome looked at Kikyou like she was trying to find something. "What are you looking at?" "Kikyou something isn't right. Please talk to me before something happens." Kikyou looked at her then felt it again. The hate towards this girl. "She thinks she's so great that she can save me. What is she going to save me from huh? She is the one out to get me." Kikyou turned away from her and started to walk off. "Kikyou wait please don't keep it bottled up." Kagome ran and took hold of Kikyou's shoulder. "I have nothing bottled up now let go of me!" Kikyou pushed Kagome back and she hit her broken wrist against the tree. Kikyou just walked away she was battling with herself why let Kagome get involved.

Inuyasha and Kouga kept taking the arms apart, but it only seemed that more just appeared. "Damn it!" "Inuyasha, Kouga are you in there?" Both stopped to see the figures of Sango and Miroku. "Where's Kikyou and Kagome?" "Huh they ran off into the….." Miroku stopped. "Sango that's where Kagura went." "WHAT!" Inuyasha looked at the monk. "We'll go find them." Sango took Miroku by the collar and they got on Kirara. As they ran past Shippo he opened his eyes. "What is going on? Wait is that Inuyasha and Kouga." Shippo crawled slowly towards Naraku. He was slowing wrapping both Kouga and Inuyasha within his arms. "You two will never get away from me. With you out of the way I can take Kikyou and Kagome for my own." Naraku pulled his hands in and the two were caught. Inuyasha couldn't reach his tetsusaiga and Kouga was wrapped head to toe. "I have to help them." Shippo jumped out of the bush he was in and with all he had he took a bite of Naraku's neck. He moved to see what was going on and that was enough to let both Inuyasha and Kouga free.
"Get off me you little flea bag." Naraku's used one of his hands to pulled Shippo off and then tossed him. Shippo went flying when he felt his little body stop. He looked up to see that Inuyasha had him. "Thanks Shippo." Kouga and Inuyasha were about to attack again when Naraku pulled everything back in. "I have no time for this." Naraku jumped into the air and went over their heads. "He's going after Sango and Miroku." Inuyasha and Kouga didn't waste any more time. What he really went after was Kikyou and Kagome.

Kikyou had gotten far when a ring went flying pasted her face and knocked a tree in her way. "What the?" As Kikyou turned around she found Kagura coming at her. "Kagome was trying to hit her." Kagura was now inches from holding her when an arrow hit her in the shoulder. "Kagura!" Kagome held her face as tears leaked from her eyes. "She shot her bow even with her broken wrist. That has to hurt." Kagome loaded her bow again. "Kagura you better move this time." Kagura moved and Kagome ran to Kikyou's side. "Why Kagome you look as though you're going to cry from pain." Kagura laughed as she looked at Kagome. "I can still take you out." Kagome got ready to shoot when the ground started to move and from the behind Kagura, Kirara came flying out with Miroku and Sango. "Oh no!" Kagome let her bow go down as she ran to her friends. They were out cold.
Kikyou and Kagome pulled the three to a tree as Kagura sat above them in her feather. "Why is she not attacking?" "That would be because Naraku is coming." As Kagome said the words the trees were pulled apart. Naraku came through with a very large smile on his face. "I see that you two got far, but not far enough." Kikyou and Kagome pulled their bows. "You two working together I never thought I would see the day." Naraku pulled out his arms and sent them flying at the girls.
"Kikyou!" Inuyasha and Kouga came running pasted the woods and past the arms both pulled Kikyou out of the way only to hear a scream of another. "What!" They both turned to see the arms wrapping around Kagome. "I thought you would save her. I mean why not? I am after her after all." "Let Kagome go!" Kouga and Inuyasha came running back only to stop as Naraku started to squeeze her tighter. "You bastard this has nothing to do with her." "Really? She is the one who kept me in that place for two years. She is the only one who could ever kill me. I think Kagome is involved in this." Naraku laughed as he pulled Kagome right up to his face. "What do you think Kagome? Do you think he would give me Kikyou to save your life?" Kagome's eyes snapped up to look at him. "NO! Inuyasha don't you ever do that. Kikyou needs you as much as I do." Kagome was starting to melt Naraku's arms. "Oh Kagome I think not." Naraku lit a fire around his arms and Kagome screamed as the flames started to burn her arms. "Stop this now Naraku!" Naraku looked at Inuyasha and Kouga. "I wouldn't kill Kagome not till she tells me where she put the jewel." Naraku then started to disappear. "Don't you take her!" Inuyasha ran at his figure and was about to use his claws but he was gone.
"We were so stupid. I thought that helping you with Kikyou was the smart thing. I mean we all know you need as much help as you can get Mutt." "Shut it Kouga. We both failed her this time." Inuyasha turned back to check on Miroku and Sango. They were burned a little from Naraku. "Kouga could you please help me with this." Kouga came and started to look at Sango while Inuyasha finished with Miroku. Kikyou sat on the fallen tree thinking. "I can feel that part of me thinks he'll never trade me but then again he did say that Kagome was his true love. Doesn't that mean he would do anything to get her back?" Kikyou was still thinking when Inuyasha sat down next to her. "Kikyou I would never let Naraku have you." "Huh. Oh I know that." "I want you to know that we wont trade you for Kagome. We will fight him and that way we will get her back." Inuyasha looked at her. "Kikyou I told you that you could always look to me to be your friend." Kikyou felt her heart. It wanted him to love her like he did Kagome. "I thank you but what if we can't get her back." "Oh we will I know that and we wont let you fall into his arms." Inuyasha smiled as he went to check on the others. "You say that like you still care about me. I still have a chance I see that. Maybe with Kagome gone for a while you'll see how great we are together." Kikyou looked at Inuyasha as he helped Sango. "He's become so caring and full of life. It was her that did it. Kagome helped him find this part of him. I would have too if I hadn't died. This is all Naraku's fault. He took Inuyasha away from me. Now he and Kagome are going to try and take him away again." Kikyou could feel the tears in her eyes so she looked away.
