Hello Again

Chapter Four Moments Leading To you

By Inuyashas Youkai

~ Confrontations Of the Past ~

Kikyo stood in awe of the girl withstanding blow for blow from Tsubaki and actually threw some rather powerful attacks at her .Although what had merely shocked the elder miko that by feeling the pure unobtainable strong aura that she had once longed to possess was within this strange girl in enormous bounds. Kikyo mused that the new stranger among them did not know of this because she herself have not heard of one with so much power since that of Midoriko ,which that could lure more danger into their midst . Kikyo looked on within the scene between the two in active battle and it seemed that also this girl knew of her because she didnt seem rather happy that she was confused by that of herself..Did this woman know of her and something that she did herself cause harm to the youngerone within their midst ..This with many other questions would remain unanswered until Kikyo herself stepped iun and ended this battle so she could get the answers she sought.

" Tsubaki ,though I do not know why you seek me nor wish to place harm on my friend here" Kikyo paused then looked at Kagome with a expectant look to respond with her name ,and causing her to gasp.

"Uh ,my name is Rei Miss ,its an pleasure to meet you and you are?" Kagome felt that giving an alias might prevent any unwanted confrontaion hense ,keeping her real identity hidden from prying eyes.

"Likewise thankyou my name is Kikyo " Kikyo stated then focused her attention towards Tsubaki "Now either you remove your pathetic ass from our sight or else Rei and myself will be showing you the way out with our arrows" Kikyo taunted from infront of the shocked and speechless Miko ,and with the Hanyou silently falling behind the two.

Tsubaki thought about her position sensing that she would have to face two miko's and a very temperamental hanyou who seemed to be confused about something but couldn't place this out of place feeeling that something wasn't right. Was it that the ppossible confrontation that the two miko's in his presence were to fight Tsubaki ,no it was something else that had to do with the way the two miko's interacted that was wrong. A feeling of dread unsettled within his chest as he continued to ponder it so for now Inuyasha would keep and eye out but wouldn't interfere unless something irked him to do so.

Inuyasha saw the internal battle that shown in the eyes of Tsubaki ,which she tried to hide but with the scent he proposed that in the end the girls would have to remove the wench by force .

'This should be interesting to see them in action but for some reason I get the feeling that I already know this or should but that would be impossible because I hardly know the girl and didn't she say her name was Kagome ?Could it be that she 's trying to hide something ?' The hanyou in question was in deep thought trying to decipher this weird connnection having to do with this strange girl and himself while watching the girls getting into a defensive crouch before Tsubaki.

~Where The Others Fear Waiting~

Inuyasha onlooking within the branches of his favorite spot of the Goshinboku Tree ,when he felt another overpowering bout of a powerful scent accompaning another memory flashing within his mind. The hanyou relished in the familiar natural aroma of the girl that he longed to see with every fiber of his being and his heart warmed with pride looking through the eyes of his past self towards that of his chosen mate. Even more impressed that she so far was faring quite well with the confrontation again with the past presence of Kikyo and joyed that she even gave an alias instead of the truth in order to hide her real identity . Although he also knew that with Kikyo and her together still didn't sit well with him while a feeling of dread filled within his chest with the thought.

Inuyasha within his mind placed a a undeputable urge within himself to protect in hopes that it might reach that of his past self in case something did in fact something went wrong ,regardless of his past self truly not knowing who she was but felt the ties between him ..This he was sure of for certain because he himself could feel the apprehension from the uncouth version of himself but helplessly couldn't fight what he didn't know ,Kagome was his intended this would turn out ok in the end or at least he could hope ,if she could change him like she did before than maybe I wouldn't have to go through so much bullshit to come to the point where we belong ..As Mates. Although he also knew that his intended mate would have a tough time and definately have her work cut out for her if Kikyo was involved as a living and breathing soul ,instead of a walking clay pot.

Jumping down towards the others in Kaede's hut Inuyasha walked toward and was met with that of the devil herself Kikyo.. She was inquiring to her sister if she herself remembered a miko named Rei. A feeling of hesitance fluttered within him to travel any further and hid within a nearby bush.. Closing his eyes and concentrated on the images to question if Kagome looked any different to place familarity on her within Kikyo's mind. Luckily Inuyasha noticed that somethiong about her presence was different when he concentrated on it he saw the subtle change that for the life of him didn't notice before.

When Kikyo were deeply entranced in the battle with Tsubaki Rei's (Kagome) hair fell a little from the ribbon tying her hair up behind a black cloth and for some reason her hair seemed shorter only stopping no farther than her shoulder blade ..Although that wasnt what shocked him for it was the little patch of hair unshielded by the back that it hid behind was actually a off pewter and furthering his shock ,Inuyasha could see minor movements from behind the shroud that covered them, and that could be only one thing..Kagome had ears!

When and how did that happen and why didn't he take notice although they were minor and they were hidden but still he himself should've been asble to notice when his past self couldn't. Looking closer within the the dark chocolate of her alluring eyes there was something in those eyes that posed there was something else he didn't know and a event that his past self missed or else he would've known.. Within those eyes was a lingering pain and sadness within them when before when his younger self saw her she still had those same eyes dancing happily with each and every step she took. Inuyasha looked through his opened eyes and decided to casually walk around to enter the hut anyway with a trouble mind and his thoughts wandered continuously to the miko that held his heart.

The hanyou remained calm,silently hiding his concerns until he could voice them. Until then keep the pained and worried whines from escaping ,that in truth would be the greatest feat in itself and to calm his inner demon from escaping and drawing unwanted attention to himself . This would give his mate away ,in the end would cause undesired harm and danger to them all if something were to happen to his mate. If this were to be so there would be nothing he himself would be able to stop ,not that Inuyasha would want to.. The hanyou would only have to wait and hope that Kagome would one day be returned to him in one piece if not all hell would be cut loose in order to return to her side..

"Be safe Kagome until I can find my way back to you, Remember Aishiteru." Inuyasha stated in a ancient language that only his intended would be able to understand only consisting in a series of yips ,growls and barks..
