Kaede's Village-Sengoku Jidai

         Kagome sat in the darkness of Kaede's hut waist deep in her sleping bag, looking at her glowing sportswatch with a worried look. 'Where's Inuyasha?' She wondered, her mouth turning into a frown. 'It's almost midnight. Where could he be?' Kagome then had a horrible thought, 'What if he's in trouble? I have to find him!' With that frantic thought in mind, she quickly got out of her sleeping bag, careful not to disturb Shippo, who was curled up next to her thigh.

         'Thank Kami-sama my sleeping bag was near the door. Otherwise I would have woken everyone up.' Kagome thought as she slipped silently out the door and into the light of the full moon. 'Tomorrow is when Inuyasha turns full human, maybe that's why he left.' She shook her at the absurd thought. 'He should know by now that the village is the safest place for him on his human night.' With the intention of yelling at him when she found him, Kagome set out into the forest.

         "Almost forgot." Kagome whispered, slapping her own forehead lightly. "I've gotta mask my scent so no demons will find me." After a few moments of concentrating, her hands glowed a light pink, followed by a bright yellow glow that surrounded her whole body. Satisfied, Kagome started walking towards the forest again. 'It's a good thing Kaede trained me on how to use my miko powers. Well, the basics, anyway. Now I don't have to depend on Inuyasha all the time. Doing the training in secret was tough, but it was worth the trouble.' Kagome thought as she neared the bone eater's well, which meant she was almost at the center of the forest.

         'I wonder why Inu didn't want me to learn how to control my powers?' Kagome wondered. 'Probably wanted to keep playing the hero. Now that I think about it, Inu has a really macho attitude; it would probably hurt his ego if I didn't need him to rescue me anymore.' The thought made her giggle quietly. "I should get something for Sango and Miroku, to thank them for helping keep my training a secret." Kagome mused quietly while resting against a wide tree. She had been walking for nearly 20 minutes, according to her watch, and had passed the well a while ago.

         She was deep in the forest, where the trees were much taller and almost completely blocked out the moonlight, leaving only slivers of silver light. While Kagome was leaning against the tree, she heard noices. It sounded like voices, and they seemed disturbingly familiar. Kagome headed towards them slowly, almost afraid of what she would find. As she got closer, she realized why the voices seemed familiar; they belonged to Inuyasha and the 'Clay Pot', otherwise known as Kikyo. (An: Yes, I'm a Kikyo hater! And if I'm spelling her name wrong, I don't care!)

         Kagome hid behind a tree to listen; apparently, they were talking about her. "Inuyasha, do you really love me, and not my reincarnation?" Kikyo asked, in what she obviously thought was a seductive tone. Inuyasha looked unsure for a moment, but then he nodded. Kagome struggled to control the tears that threatened to fall. "Are you sure?" Clay Pot asked. "Yes, Kikyo. Kagome is just a shard detector. A simple copy of you. You're the one I love. Always." Inuyasha declared.

         The Clay Pot smiled evilly, then she pressed her fake body against him and gave him a passionate kiss. Kagome was utterly disgusted and heartbroken at the sight, yet she couldn't find the strength to look away out of morbid fascination. It was like the sight of a horrible automobile accident, the kind where you keep staring at the wreckage from behind the protection of the car windows, even after you get a crick in your neck from twisting your head around so much. Nearly a minute later, there was some discernable amount of space between their mouths, but not their bodies, which were still squished together.

         "How much do you love me, Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked him after a few seconds of silence. "I would do anything for you, Kikyo." Inuyasha answered readily. "Anything. Really?" Clay Pot asked skeptically. "Really." "Come to hell with me, then." She said with an evil smirk. "I can't. At least, not yet. We haven't finished collecting the Shikon Jewel." Inuyasha explained, completely oblivious to her facial expression. Kikyo's smirk had quickly swept into a scowl at hearing the reason that made Inuyasha want to stay in the realm of the living.

         "Is it really because of the jewel, or is it because of my reincarnation?" Clay Pot asked him angrily. "It's the jewel! Kagome doesn't matter to me! She's not even my friend!" Inuyasha exclaimed desperately. That impromptu declaration caused Kagome to gasp softly from her hiding spot and start to cry, silent sobs shaking her frail body. She could handle Inuyasha not loving her, after all, you couldn't dictate matters of the heart, but she'd thought that they could at least be considered friends.

         "Really? Prove it, then, Inuyasha. Kill her so that I can have my soul back and be with you." Kikyo said, staring accusingly into Inuyasha's indecisive face. A few silent and suspenseful minutes later, Inuyasha told Kikyo his decision. "Ok. I'll do it. I'll get your soul back." At his answer, Clay Pot kissed him again, this time with more force. Soon, their hands were busy roaming under each other's clothes.

         Seeing that was Kagome's limit; she quickly turned around and started walking away in a complete daze. Kagome didn't know where she was going, nor did she care. She was too busy trying to comprehend what she had just witnessed. 'Inuyasha was making out with the Clay Pot, and then he promised her that he'd kill me! I thought he was my friend, if not more.' Kagome thought sadly, still trying to wrap her mind around the insane idea that the guy she had thought liked- if not loved- her was going to try to kill her.

         After a while of mindless wandering, Kagome found herself at the well. 'If Inu is really going to try and kill me, I have to leave and seal the well.' She thought, kneeling before the side nearest to her to perform the sealing spell. 'It's too bad I didn't get to finish my training; I won't be able to seal it for very long on my own. I can't ask Kaede to help me, because if I do, I'll have to say goodbye to everyone, and it'll hurt too much.'

         Kagome was almost done with the temporary seal. "I'll be back. As soon as I get more training." Kagome promised the silent forest. "I don't know where I'll train, but I'll do it. I won't let Inuyasha and that dead Clay Pot keep me away from my friends and responsibilities to the Shikon." She said out loud, determination clear in her voice. "Now all I need is someone to train me." Kagome said, sitting on the lip of the well. "Can't be that hard. I'll just put an ad in the paper. Lots of people read the newspaper, maybe I'll get lucky and one of 'em will be a martial arts expert, or something." Kagome said, liking the idea.

         "Yeah! That's what I'll do. I can pay with my saved up birthday money." Kagome said, smiling. "I'm on my way to kicking Inuyasha's butt!" She declared happily. Unbeknownst to her, someone had been watching her silently from the treeline. Golden eyes followed every move her small body made. When Kagome made her declaration, the eyes shone with light amusement.

         Kagome closed her eyes and jumped into the well. If she had kept her eyes open, she would have seen the well glow bright red, instead of the usual blue.
