Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha even though I wish I did... Sadly – for me- Rumiko Takahashi owns it. T_T.

Kikyo held Kagome very tight til the guys were far enough away. She felt the surge of demon aura and knew that Sesshoumaru was giving her a sign, that way she could continue. Kikyo took a deep breath hoping that this would work. Kikyo could feel Kagome shaking trying to keep the power at bay.

"Kagome, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are safe enough away for you to release your power, safely. If you try and stop it..." she took a deep breathe, "you could die. I know you are scared but I will be right here with you, I promise." She could feel Kagome nod her head in understanding. Kikyo took another deep breath and mixed her aura with Kagome's that way she could help Kagome learn to control it herself. Kikyo was glad that Kagome's aura did not reject her help.

Kagome was terrified at the surge of power that was trying to over take her body. She trembled with fear, not fear for her self but for her new friends and her cousin. Inuyasha had become like a big brother. Even thought Sesshoumaru was cold on the out side he did little things that shown his concern. She didn't want to hurt them but when she seen into Naraku's mind she flipped. She couldn't hold back the fact that she knew for a fact that he did indeed to kill the Inu brothers. She could hear her cousins voice telling her that they were safe and she could left the power take her over. Kagome nodded as she felt her cousin blend their powers. She relaxed with the feel of her cousin confidence in her. She kept her eyes closed but let the power flow hoping that there was no one that would get hurt. That was her last thought as she fell into a bright light.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both covered their eyes as the bright pink light that danced across the forest and close to them. Sesshoumaru could feel the purity of the light and it was enormous. Inuyasha was stunned that he sat down on the ground just staring at the spot where Kagome and Kikyo were. It took only a matter of moments before the light faded. Sesshoumaru wanted to check on the girls but he knew that another out burst could happen. He had to grab Inuyasha when he tried to head back.

"We must wait a moment." Sesshoumaru stated bluntly, dropping his hand. Inuyasha nodded his understanding. Inuyasha knew that his brother meant best but he just wanted to be next to Kikyo. A couple of minutes passed before their was a flare of a pure aura. Both guys knowing it was a signal they headed back.

After Kikyo flared her power she layed Kagome down that way she could rest. Kikyo also layed down when a wave of fatigue hit her. She knew that Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were on there way so she knew that she had nothing to worry about. Kikyo smiled at the memory of her telling Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru why they had ended up here. Once she had explained to them that they were running for their lives the Lord was very gentle with her younger sister. Inuyasha had paid attention to her as if she was the only woman for her and she adored it. She had never felt that kind of attention from a man. She glanced over at Kagome who was still asleep. Her breathing was normal so she was just exhausted from the power over load. She barely noticed Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru coming over to them. Knowing she wouldn't last much longer she tried to speak.

"All we need is rest. We shall be fine in a couple of..." Kikyo trailed off as she fell into a deep sleep. Inuyasha ran over hearing what she said and picked her up and held her to his chest. He turned to see that his brother had Kagome in his arms.

"We need to get back to the castle. Now!" Inuyasha yelled as he took off with out his brother. He knew that Sesshoumaru would catch up. Inuyasha looked down at Kikyo in his arms and his heart ached. He stared forward and ran faster. The faster he got there the faster she would get her rest. Inuyasha didn't understand why he felt so deep for this woman but he did and it scared him to a certain degree. He prayed to Kami that Kikyo and Kagome would be alright. Inuyasha loved both Kagome and Kikyo.
