He left...why he had spent so much time around the miko was beyond him. What the dead miko said left a sour taste in his mouth...one thing he hated more than humans....were miko's...especial the dead one. The sleeping miko was no concern of his, let be as it will be.

The Lord of the North came and went day after day, he would watch over her for sometime, even run his hands in her hair. Sango and Miroku would visit time to time and even Kikyo. Kikyo came to keep her eye on the Lord of the North.
"Lady Kikyo why is it that you come and look to Lady Kagome?" Miroku aksed...Kikyo had been coming around a lot more lately. "I may have put her in the sleep...but I do not wish her harm"
Harm? Sango thought that odd..what did she mean harm? "Harm? Sango then asked out loud. What came next out of Kikyo's mouth next was off "Has Lord Sesshomaru been seen?"
"No Lady Kikyo...why?" Miroku spoke...why was she asking about him in a time like this?
"It is nothing" With that Kikyo walked away.
-----
It was a bright morning...when Kikyo, Miroku and Sango made their way back to Kagome's body. When they arrived they saw the Lord of the North send men away, telling them that he was the one who would be awakening her that they were wasting there time.
"What do you think you are doing?" Kikyo asked in a cold tone to the Lord.
"I shall awaken her tomorrow" He said standing tall. Sango and Miroku looked at each other. As much as they wanted their friend to wake...something about him doing it didn't sit right with them...no Inuyasha...Inuyasha?
"Yeah...and what makes you think you will be the one?"
They all looked up to see him sitting in a tree looking down at the Lord and Kagome.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned...
Inuyasha jumped down close to the Lord "Something aint right about this" Inuyasha said eyeing the Lord. The Lord of the North just eyed Inuyasha before smirking and walking away "Tomorrow...she will awake" he said as he disappeared from their site.
Inuyasha turned around "Kikyo-
Inuyasha looked around "Hey..where did Kikyo go?"
"I dont know...she was just here" Sango said
"How odd" Miroku stated
"Yeah....I dont like this...not one bit"
"I don't know Inuyasha...but maybe it is for the best...and we do wish for Lady Kagome to join us once more" Miroku pointed out, but Inuyasha was not paying attention he was looking at Kagome...how did this all happen.

Kikyo made her way in the dark...she was after someone...something a few days back grabbed her attention and she knew from then it would be...at first she did not see it...but then there it was ...right in front of everyone...but no one but her noticed.
"The one who brings death...will bring life" she whispered into the dark night air
Only you are the life among the dead.
