Reiko: Well, I hope you guys like this chapter. Sorry for the wait, but without reviews, you don't have much inspiration you know? Ah well. I'll need five reviews for the next chapter. So, too bad. I'm just giving this one as an apology for the two week wait. Also, I can't do a Mir x San, so I'm changing it to Sess x San. He's cooler anyway. Also, for those who read this chapter before, I edited it. You'll see at the end of the chapter.
DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.

Recap:
Inuyasha let out a sigh and bent down for Setsumi to get on his back. Once she did, the two were on their way to Keade's village.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo collected some wood, and headed to the village when Kirara came back.
Inuyasha dropped Setsumi off and immediately left. He walked into the forest, his brows furrowed, thinking hard.
'I can't believe I did that. Kagome's going to hate me. Damn it all!'
Inuyasha slammed his fist into a nearby tree, his anger getting the better of him once again. He let out a sigh and looked at his hand. His knuckles were bleeding lightly. He dropped his hand back to his side. 'Kami...stupid Kagome. She didn't even hear me out. I could've explained and she would've stayed...maybe.
Inuyasha looked up. Oddly enough, he was in front of Goshinkobu. His hand trailed over the indention of wear he had been for fifty years.
"Inuyasha." said a soft voice.
Inuyasha whipped his head around. He turned toward the voice. "Kikyo?" he questioned.
The undead priestess stepped out of the bushes. "Inuyasha...are you ready to come to hell with me?" she asked slowly.
"Uh..." Inuyasha looked around uncertainly. "I..."
"Is that pathetic reincarnation stopping you from being with me?" she asked, her eyes cold and voice stern. Inuyasha shook his head. "No, it's..."
"It's what? Someone else?" she asked, irritated.
"Damn it Kikyo, I do feel guilty that you died, but why would I want to die? I still need to kill Naraku!" he exclaimed angrily.
"If you go to hell with me, you won't have to worry about Naraku." she stated simply. Inuyasha stared at her. "Kikyo, I still have things to do, I can't go with you!"
Setsumi slowly peeked from around a tree. She had gotten there around the time he had spoken about Naraku.
Kikyo looked straight towards Setsumi. "Girl, I can feel your miko powers, it's useless to hide from me." she stated. Setsumi slowly walked out from behind the tree. 'She's creepy. How can she be so emotionless?' she wondered.
She walked toward the two, who were standing a couple of feet apart. "What's going on? Why would Inuyasha go to hell with you?" she asked, extremely confused. "Like, I remember that some guy named Naraku imitated Inuyasha and killed you or something, but why would you want him dead? It's not his fault."
"Girl, you wouldn't know anything, mind your own business."
"EXCUSE ME?! This is my business! It involves Inuyasha, so it is my business! Why don't you go suck some souls somewhere you clay pot!" she yelled at her.
Inuyasha grabbed Setsumi's arm. "Calm down." he growled at her. Setsumi fumed silently at his side, but was quiet.
Kikyo looked at them. She understood now. "If I can't have you Inuyasha nobody can!" she hissed, notching an arrow. She aimed her bow towards him and let the arrow fly.
Setsumi gasped. "No…" she whispered, before moving in front of him.
Setsumi let out a strangled gasp and fell to the ground. Inuyasha stared at Kikyo in horror. "Kikyo…" She had tried to kill him once again. That was it. Inuyasha launched himself toward her and thrust his sword into her chest, pulling it upwards quickly.
Kikyo disintegrated before even falling to the ground and all the lost souls went to their rightful places.
Inuyasha turned around to where Setsumi lay on her back, the arrow in her heart. He quickly scooped her up and headed back to the village.
He entered the hut and Keade looked up.
"Inuyasha, where have ye been?" she asked, before spotting the limp girl in his arms. "Apparently I am missing something." she stated.
Inuyasha placed Setsumi on the mat.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" asked Sango who was clearly shocked.
"Kikyo..." he murmured softly.
"That explains the arrow." Miroku said.
Inuyasha glared at them all. "Why are you just sitting there looking stupid?! Aren't you going to help her?!" he yelled angrily.
Sango snapped out of her thoughts and sat beside Setsumi. She placed her hand on her pulse. "It's low, but it's there." she said softly.
"She's…she's barely alive." she stated, her bangs shadowing her face.
Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief as everyone else did.
"Well, that's good. Now to heal her." said Miroku.
Naraku dismissed Kanna. He had seen everything, from Hitori's appearance, to Setsumi's near-death experience. "Kagura." he thought.
She was in the doorway, in less than a second. "Yes Naraku?" she asked wearily. She had been taking a well deserved nap, when his voice interrupted her sleep.
"I want you to go bring Hitori to me." he stated.
"Yes Naraku." she replied and left the castle. She got onto her feather and headed towards Inuyasha's Forest. "Stupid bastard, always telling me what to do or waking me up to do something he could do his damn self!" she mumbled angrily.
She walked through the forest for a while before spotting Hitori. She was lying on the ground, her clothing slightly torn, and some dogs were sniffing her. She approached the unconcious girl, causing the dogs to run away. She picked her up and flew back to Naraku's castle.
"Perfect. Her dark heart will help darken the Shikon no Tama's aura." he thought, smirking.
Reiko: Yeah, I lied last chapter. It didn't focuse on Hitori, but that's because I will sit down and just start writing, I don't prewrite these things. It's just a muse that'll force me to write, without any reason. Then, I'll just think of things and it'll be totally awesome! Took me about an hour. Normally it takes two!
Anyway, R&R. Remember, I need 5 reviews to write the next chapter. Mmkay guys? Cause, you can't be that lazy. It should only take five minutes to say: "Hi, good story!" or something. Seriously.
