Sorry for the short chapter! I just don't have much inspiration. Anyways, on with Chapter Two of Kikyou's Wrath!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co. Later on in the story, there might be an original character or two, so please don't use them if they do appear in the story without permission. Thanks :)

Chapter Two: A Favor

With Kagome:

Kagome sat by the stream they happened to be camping by, just looking out as the water rushed over her feet. Kagome had a troubled frown on her face, which is rare for her. Sango and Miroku sat up on a hill watching her. They hated seeing Kagome this sad over a jerk like Inuyasha. Shippou was over in the forest, looking for food. Sighing, Sango turned to face Miroku. "Can't we do anything at all to cheer her up?!" Sango exclaimed.

"Unfortunately," Miroku replied. "We can't. Only Inuyasha can cheer her up."

"I think I have an idea. I'll be right back," Sango called back as she ran down the hill toward Kagome. "Kagome," Sango said, "If you want to, you can go back to your time now. Inuyasha isn't here to yell at you for going back, and I know you like to go back there to see your family and catch up in school."

Kagome thought about this for a moment before saying, "Thanks Sango, but I'll just stay here with you guys, unless you want me to go..."

"Of course we don't want you to go, Kagome!! I just don't like seeing you this sad over someone like Inuyasha."

"You think I'm sad? Over Inuyasha?! Why would I be sad?" Kagome exclaimed with an attempt at a smile.

"Mm.. no reason..."

This part is with Inuyasha and Kikyou.

(A/N this is still in the night..)

In the previous chapter:

"Actually, Inuyasha," Kikyou said hesitantly, "I have something I would like you to do.."

Back to this chapter:

"What is it, Kikyou? You know I would do anything for you," Inuyasha asked.

"I would like for you to get rid of Kagome," she said.

"WHAT?!"

"Why do you act so surprised, Inuyasha? You know she's been getting in my way."

"What has she been doing to you? I don't see her doing anything bad at all or doing anything to get in your way!"

"She stole my soul, broke the spell I put on you, and brought the sacred jewel back here after I had worked to hard to rid this world of it," Kikyou said.

"Kagome didn't have a choice in getting your soul, she would have died if she didn't break the spell and had no control over bringing back the sacred jewel."

"Just get rid of her if you still care about me at all." And with that Kikyou left. Although Inuyasha tried to find her, he couldn't. Kikyou had used her priestess powers to conceal her location, and Inuyasha couldn't find her, or even pick up her scent. Inuyasha slowly made his way back to Kagome and the others. While he walked back he kept wondering why Kikyou wouldn't let him inside her barrier, and why she had to ask him to get rid of Kagome, instead of doing it herself.

'Maybe she was wounded, and couldn't use her priestess powers? No, that can't be it, since she concealed herself well. Perhaps she used all of her strength hiding herself? That could be what happened. Who would be able to hurt Kikyou though? I don't know anyone except maybe Naraku who could hurt her,' Inuyasha thought. Before he knew it, Kirara had guided Inuyasha back to the camp. 'Great,' he thought, 'now I have to deal with an angry Kagome.' Inuyasha cleared his throat before quietly saying, "Umm..hello..Kagome."

Kagome glanced up to find Inuyasha gently staring down at her. She thought a while before replying with, "Hi, Inuyasha. Did you have fun last night with Kikyou?"

Inuyasha knew she would be upset, but expected her to show she was really upset, so this surprised him greatly. "Kagome," he whispered, "I promise you that nothing happened last night between me and Kikyou. She wouldn't even let me inside her barrier."

"Yeah, sure! Then why did it take you so long to get back?"

"Kikyou had to ask me to do something, that's all."

"Oh really? Then what did she ask?"

"...I'm sorry Kagome, but I can't tell you that just yet."

"I wonder why."

"I don't even know if I'm going to do it yet."

"Fine."

With that, Kagome stomped off to Miroku and Sango, who had been watching the whole thing, but were unable to hear the conversation.

"What happened?" Sango asked.

"Apparently," Kagome replied, "nothing." Miroku and Sango exchanged worried looks as Kagome walked over to help Shippou find food for dinner.

As everyone was eating dinner, there was an awkward silence between Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku and Sango had chosen to ignore that, and were having a conversation of their own, probably about Miroku's perverted ways. Shippou was already fast asleep with Kirara next to him, also asleep. Kagome and Inuyasha had not talked since Inuyasha first returned, and although they had a lot of things they needed to tell each other, one wasn't going to break the silence until the other had. Suddenly, everything was quiet. Sango and Miroku had stopped talking and were staring at the sky with frightened looks on their faces. Kagome and Inuyasha looked up there, too. What they saw was probably the last thing they needed to see at that moment.

This concludes Chapter Two!

First, I would like to thank everyone who read my story. I would also like to thank my reviewers! Every review is much appreciated and I read every one of my reviews. Second, I wonder what they see in the sky? Could it be Naraku? Kikyou? Keep reading to find out! Lastly, I might not update until I get some more reviews. I need to know if I have people that are reading this story, or if I'm just posting for no reason! Thanks to anyone who reviews!!
