Chapter 6

Naraku

Kikyo decided to stay at Fairy Hills. On the way there, in the night, she passed through a dark alleyway. Suddenly, a figure materialized in front of her, but she couldn't see who it was.

"Who's there?" she demanded.

"Heh, Kikyo, it's nice to see you again." chuckled the dark figure.

"Tell me, who are you?! And how do you know my name?!"

"My name is Naraku," said the person. "I am a dark wizard and I am skilled in the art of shape-shifting. Tell me, do you remember the day you were nearly killed by your beloved Inuyasha?"

"How do you know about that?!"

"Because I was there. My dear Kikyo, you were to blinded with rage to think about Inuyasha' s sudden change in personality. You know, that wasn't actually Inuyasha. That was me."

Kikyo stared at him. Then,

"You were the one who did that?" she whispered.

Naraku nodded a smirk on his face.

"You tried to turn us against each other! You're utterly despicable!" Kikyo shouted. "I'm not going to let this go unnoticed. I shall use the very same spell i planned to use on Inuyasha on you!"

That being said, a blue light began to surround Kikyo as she chanted under her breath. Suddenly, Kikyo began to feel very tired and she had hardly begun! She didn't know that two people, using the same kind of magic were needed to cast this spell.

Then, she heard Inuyasha' s voice shouting her name and everything went black.

_Later_

When Kikyo opened her eyes, she saw that she was in her room at Fairy Hills. She was puzzled though, when did she get there?

Then, the door opened and Wendy came in. her worried look turned to one of relief and she said, "I'm so glad you're alright! Inuyasha was so worried, he refused to leave Fairy Hills until you woke up and Erza had to make an exception for him."

"Can I see Inuyasha?" she asked slowly. Wendy nodded and left. In a few minutes, she came back with Inuyasha and then left.

The two of them stared at each other until Inuyasha spoke up, "Kikyo…I-" he began but was cut off when Kikyo suddenly leapt out of the bed and hugged him.

"I'm sorry….." she whispered brokenly and that was all Inuyasha needed to hear to know that she knew the truth.

They stayed like that for some time. Presently, Kikyo said, "So, what happened?"

"Well," Inuyasha started. "After you blacked out, I faced Naraku. But him, being the coward he is ran away."

"I see," said Kikyo slowly and pulled away. "Inuyasha, that girl with you-the one that looks a lot like me-…who is she?"

Inuyasha smiled. "That's Kagome," he stated. "She's a close friend of mine and she uses Priestess Magic, just like you."

Kikyo smirked. "You ~liiiiiiiiiike~ her," she teased.

Inuyasha went scarlet. "K-Kikyo!" he protested. "W-We're just f-friends!"

"Sure you are," Kikyo replied. "Anyway, tell me, how did you meet her?"

"Well….." Inuyasha began.

~~~Flashback~~~

A 14 year old Inuyasha raced through the woods. 'I can't believe it!' he thought bitterly. 'How could Kikyo think that I had done such a thing to her? Of all the nerve!'

Suddenly he sniffed the air, catching the scent of cherry-blossom. Something urged him to follow it, so he did.

He then reached a large cliff, and to his horror, he saw a girl falling headfirst from it. Inuyasha immediately used his enhanced strength, jumped and caught the girl.

~~~~End of Flashback~~~~

"…..and that was Kagome," Inuyasha finished.

"Awww!" Kikyo cooed. "That's so romantic!"

Inuyasha sweatdropped. "On second thoughts," he muttered to himself. "I'd rather have the normal Kikyo back."

A/N: So everything's cleared up. Just so you know, Kikyo is acting Mira-ish just to cover up the fact that she has feelings for Inuyasha.

Adios!
