Special thanks to my new beta reader Jessie Angel!! WOOT! She is a great help!! On with the story…

 

*At the Hut*

 

When the group heard the matt door rustling, indicating that someone was coming in, they all thought that Kagome and Shippo had returned. Kouga and Inuyasha both turned their heads in the direction of the door, while Miroku called out if they had any troubles.

 

“Inuyasha.” The mystery person said.

 

When Sango looked up, what she saw made her drop her wooden spoon and gasp in shock. Miroku looked up and also gasped, except he didn't drop anything except for his `cursed' hand that was on its way to meet a certain someone's behind.

 

“Kikyo…” Inuyasha replied.

 

“Yes, I have noticed that none of you seem to be pursuing Naraku. Why is this?” Kikyo asked, although she though she knew the answer.

 

“Well…uh… the reason is---” Inuyasha stated, before someone interrupted him.

 

“It's none of your business.” Kagome said, coming in through the back door. She didn't know why, but she sensed there was something bad about that woman.

 

“Here's the water you wanted Sango!” Shippo said, not even glancing at the woman that just came in.

 

“Inuyasha, we need to talk. I will wait for you at Goshinboku.” Kikyo said, sending a glare in Kagome's direction that only Kagome noticed. Kagome shivered. When Inuyasha and Kikyo were both gone, Kagome asked the question that Sango and Miroku were both dreading.

 

“Who was that?” Kagome asked. “I can't shake this feeling that she is a, well, not a nice person.” Sango and Miroku both stared at each other.

 

“Well, Kagome, that was Kikyo. She is the undead priestess that roams the lands. She was Inuyasha's former lover, but then Kikyo died and Inuyasha was sealed to the Sacred Tree. Kikyo was revived and she and Inuyasha are, well, close.” Miroku said, leaving out the details of Naraku and Urasue. They could be explained another day.

 

“I…I see. Did I come anywhere into this? Kikyo sort of looks like me.” Kagome asked.

 

“That's because you are her reincarnation. When she was revived, a part of your soul was taken, so now she has a part of your soul. If she were to die, that part would return back to you.” Sango added.

 

“I think I get it now. Sooo… what's for dinner Lady Sango?” Kagome asked, trying to change the subject.

 

“You can call me Sango; after all we were best friends. Oh, and we are having soup with some fish that Inuyasha caught earlier today.” Sango replied.

 

“Ok, that sounds great!” Kagome said. It was quiet for about a minute, until…

 

STROKE...

 

SMACK!

 

“HENTAI!”

 

 

*With Kikyo and Inuyasha*

 

“Inuyasha, you are aware that my reincarnation does not remember any of us.” Kikyo said. Inuyasha had just finished explaining what had happened over the past month.

 

“Yea, but we're gonna help her remember. Do you want to help? You could explain that time she saved you.”

 

“No thank you Inuyasha. I have better things to do, such as finding Naraku. You should also come with me, after all, was it not you who claimed that you would avenge me? You need to kill Naraku.” Kikyo replied.

 

“No, I know I said I would avenge you, but I also told Kagome I would protect her. I need to stay here with her and help her recover.”

 

“But Inuyasha, you have already failed to protect her before. When she got injured, you weren't there to help her at all. In fact, wasn't it your fault she was there in the first place?” Kikyo said.

 

“Well, I-I guess, but I'm gonna help her now to make up for what I didn't do. I'm sorry Kikyo but I'm not going with you.” Inuyasha replied.

 

“Does my reincarnation mean more to you then I do Inuyasha?”

 

`Yes…' Inuyasha thought. But he didn't need to tell Kikyo that. He just walked off in the direction of the hut. But Kikyo saw his face. And knew that she did.

 

“Then I will have to get rid of her. And this time I won't fail.” Kikyo mumbled.
