Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo had made it to Keade's house safely. Kagome went in and told Keade the good news.
"And I need to talk to you about something Keade…its about Kohaku…he cant survive without the sacred jewel…but I think I know away around that…" Kagome said
"I child I know what ye are talkin bout…but you do know what may be the outcome, this hasn't been proven to work" Keade said
"Yes, I know, but I think I know someone who can help" Kagome said
"Who child?" Keade asked
"Someone I met when I was trying to control….I mean…uh…when I was training?" Kagome said taking a side glance towards Inuyasha to make sure he didn't notice her slip up.
"Alright child, will you needing my assistance?" Keade asked
"No, I don't think so…if I do Inuyasha can come get you" Kagome said
"Wait…I can what?" Inuyasha asked not paying attention to the conversation until he heard his name.
Kagome giggled "Come on Inuyasha I need to go somewhere" she said while pulling him outside. "That way" She said getting on his back and pointing in the direction of where she needed to go
"Hey! Since when did I become your personal horse or something" Inuyasha protested
"Would you rather me walk there alone?" Kagome said
Inuyasha mumbled to himself then started to run/jump in the way Kagome told him to go.
"Good boy" Kagome said scratching Inuyasha behind the ear
"STOP TREATING ME LIKE A DOG" Inuyasha yelled, but it only made Kagome giggle.
They got there quicker that it took Kagome to get there last time on Kilala. Kagome and Inuyasha landed outside Shintane hut. Kagome got off Inuyasha's back and walked towards the door but before she got there Priestess Shintane came out.
"Its good to see you again Kagome" Shintane said
"Its good to see you a as well" Kagome said "Would you mind if I spoke with Amaiko?"
"You may, she is somewhere around here playing with the children, I don't know what you said to her but it really helped her come out of her shell" Priestess Shintane said smiling.
Just then someone yelled "KAGOME"
Kagome turned around and smiled when she saw Amaiko running to her
"You came back" said smiling
"Of course" Kagome said giving the girl a hug "Oh I almost forgot, everyone this is Inuyasha, Inuyasha this is Amaiko and Priestess Shintane"
"hello" Amaiko said
"Hi" Inuyasha said
"I remember Kagome talking about you" Amaiko said winking at Kagome
Kagome laughed nerveously "Uh… Amaiko I was wondering if you could help me with something"
"What is it?" Amaiko asked
"Well…it's a potion…I was wondering if you would know how to make it" Kagome said
"What kind is it?"
"Potion of life" Kagome said
Amaiko gasped and Shintane looked at Kagome in surprise
"Come inside and we will talk" Priestess Shintane said leading everyone into the hut. Once inside Kagome explained everything about Kohaku and how she had heard about this potion and how it may be able to help.
"I see…you do understand that although the potion of life will bring life to someone who is dying, but, is extremely hard to make and if not successfully made with perfection in can have horrible consequences" Shintane said
"But we have no other choice" Kagome said
Priestess Shintane sighed "I see…bring the boy here in a week, we will have the potion that you need"
"OH THANK YOU" Kagome said
Kagome stayed with Priestess Shintane and Amaiko for a while but then headed back to Keade's village on Inuyashas back.
"So…what are the consequences that the lady was talking about Kagome?" Inuyasha asked
"Well it depends…most likely he will die if we don't make it just right…but…there have been stories saying that…it keeps a persons soul from crossing over and they will wonder the earth for the rest of eternity" Kagome said
"You mean…sort of like Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked
"Yea…"Kagome answered
The rest of the trip was silent. When they got there Kagome told Keade everything and then went to sleep because she was very tired.
Inuyasha went to the sacred tree to think about things, manly what he would do when the jewel was complete.
