Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha, much as I'd like to. The poem 'Fear' is my own work, though, so please don't use it without asking and giving me a little credit. Also, the character 'Milan' is my own creation. So, same goes as the poem. "Quotes"talking; 'I don't know what these are called'thoughts; Dear Diaryentries from Kagome's diary

Attention: To all my loyal readers, this is a revised edition and I changed a couple of minor things. Mostly just slight details, spelling mistakes, and grammar mistakes. I hope you enjoy.

Fear

Chapter Four

Kikyo is walking through the forest with her bow and a quiver of arrows on her back. She has a basket of herbs in her hands and is heading back to the village. Inu-yasha jumps down from a tree and lands right in back of her. He hugs her. "What are you doing here, Inu-yasha? I told you that I wasn't going to let you hurt my sister and you being here will do nothing, but hurt her. I told you to leave for a reason. Now please, let go of me. You're married to my sister, whether you want to be or not." He doesn't let her go so she pushes him away and starts walking back to the village. "Kikyo, wait." He runs after her. She stops and sighs. Then she turns around and prepares to tell him off, but he kisses her and she can't say anything.

Meanwhile...Kagome trudges along. 'I think I'm lost.' Kagome hears something and hides behind a tree. 'Kikyo? What is she doing with Inu-yasha? I guess Inu-yasha must have followed her.' She watches them. She starts to turn around, but then she sees Inu-yasha kiss her sister. She pales then starts running. She doesn't care where, she just runs.

"Idiot" Kikyo slaps Inu-yasha. "Do you know what you've just done, or were you too busy trying to figure out how long you had to get away? I sensed her aura right away. You should have been able to hear her, but you didn't! And now, you might have just killed my sister! If this kills her, then you'll never rest in peace. I'll make sure that you stay in limbo for eternity." Inu-yasha blanches and Kikyo runs off after her sister.

"Kagome! Where are you" Kagome hears Kikyo calling her, but continues to hide her aura and cry. Finally, Kikyo finds her. "Kagome, that wasn't what it looked like. I didn't ask for him to kiss me. In fact, I didn't even want him near me. Kagome" Kagome looks at her sister. "It's okay, Kikyo. You got to him first anyways, so you can have him." Kagome gets up and walks away.

"Kikyo, will you please train me to be a Miko? If Fluffy and Rin ever escape, I'm going to need to know how to protect myself." Kikyo looks a bit confused. "But Kagome, I'll always be here to protect you." Yes, you'll always be here, but I won't. I'm going to travel and I want to be able to protect myself if I need to. "Okay, Kagome." Kikyo gets a gleam in her eyes. "Lets start by learning subduing spells." Kikyo shows Kagome the beads and tells her the words and what to do. She also tells Kagome about other subduing spells, like for instance, the ones that are tattooed on.

"First time that I'm ever actually glad for the New Moon. Hopefully, so much has been going on that they forgot about it." Inu-yasha hesitantly walks into the village, but quickly gains confidence. "Hey, sir, do you need a room for the night" Inu-yasha flinches because he thought that he had gotten caught. He changes his voice a little bit and answers. "No sir. Thank you anyways, but I have a campsite not too far from here. I came to see the Lady Kikyo because I have a sick friend back there who needs help and I thought that the Lady Miko might be obliged to help him." The man smiles and starts to walk towards the shrine. "I'll lead you to her and she can get some help to your friend." Inu-yasha follows after him even though he knows the way. When they get there, Inu-yasha bows"Thank you." And walks into the small shrine.

"Hello, Inu-yasha. I thought that you might try something like this. Kagome, NOW" Kagome comes out from behind a curtain and closes the door. She gets out a small bag of beads and starts a subduing spell. "What the fuck? What are you doing" Kagome finishes the spell and the beads settle around Inu-yasha's neck. "SIT BOY" Inu-yasha goes crashing to the ground and Kikyo walks up to him and takes his sword. She places it on the altar and watches as Inu-yasha tries to take off the 'collar' as soon as he can sit up again. Kikyo giggles. (A/N: Giggles? Yes, giggles. Remember, this is a very different Kikyo.)

"Kagome collared you and only she can take it off. Now, I suggest that you leave, Inu-yasha. Oh, and just so that you know. The entire village knows what you look like in your human form and walking in here on the New Moon will never work. It was a trap all along." Inu-yasha looks very pissed off, but runs out of the shrine and back to the forest. "That was a good one, wasn't it Kikyo" They look at each other with silly grins on their faces, then break out into laughter.
