Chapter 7
Plans & Discussions
Kagome hadn't been able to sleep for very long. "He hasn't even been gone a day and I already can't take it." Kagome said sitting on the side of her bed. 'Maybe I should go with him. No. I promised I wouldn't leave the house.' Kagome though with a sigh. Kagome walked down the stairs to find her front door standing wide open. "All right that settles it I'm going with Inuyasha." Kagome said running up the stairs as fast as she could. Kagome grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs. She went out the door turning to lock it and then ran to the well house. She entered the well coming out on the other side noticing she was still in her pajamas. She reached in her bag but couldn't find her school uniform. She dug deep into her bag find shorts and a tank top. After she had changed she climbed out of the well finding Kikyo waiting. "Inuyasha is mine." Kikyo walked closer to Kagome. "Go home before I am forced to get rid of you permanently." Kikyo said angrily as she pulled back an arrow. "He doesn't belong to anybody. If you kill me Inuyasha would hate you more than anything." Kagome said as she started walking toward the village. "Oh you really think he would hate the woman he confessed his love for." Kikyo said lowering her bow. Kagome couldn't believe what she had just heard. 'He has already chosen hasn't he. How could you think he ever truly loved you.' Kagome thought as tears welled up in her eyes. Kagome closed her eyes as she tried to gain control over her emotions. The tears began to sting the back of her eyelids. When Kagome opened her eyes Kikyo was gone. Kagome went over to the well and jumped into it. She came out on the other side before remembering all the things Inuyasha had said to her. She began to crawl out of the well before she remembered the reason she had gone there in the first place. 'I guess I'll go inside and check things out for myself.' Kagome went inside and looked everywhere but could not find any sign of anybody but her having been in the house.

Nanashi was sitting on her bed combing her hair when Naraku came in. "Nanashi I see you slept well." Naraku said gesturing at the still smooth blankets. "So what is it you would like to speak with me about." Nanashi asked as she got up from her spot. Naraku walked toward her quickly. "You know of Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kikyo's love and of the two priestesses with great power. We are going to make Kagome believe that Inuyasha has chosen Kikyo and then Inuyasha will die at the hands of the woman he truly loves." Naraku said anger tingeing his tone. "What do you have against Inuyasha and Kagome? Is this all because of the Sacred Jewel Shards?" Nanashi asked feeling as if she knew all of the answers. "Inuyasha and Kagome have me countless demons and jewel shards. Kagome and Kikyo are the only people who can locate the shards and that means they are a greater threat than anyone else." Naraku said only supplying what was necessary. "How do you plan on turning them against each other?" Nanashi asked a little excited about the idea. "You are a shape shifter are you not?" Naraku stated rather than asked. "Yes I am." Nanashi answered. "Good or else my plan wouldn't work." Naraku said as he began to leave the room. "But what do you have in mind?" Nanashi asked as she walked toward the door. "Look in your little book and you'll see." Naraku stated quite frankly. Nanashi opened her book and turned to page to read his mind. She saw the many images flash before her eyes. "I like your plan but what if it doesn't go as you plan?" Nanashi challenged. "I have studied these people for more than a year. It won't fail." Naraku said growing more than a little angry. "All right. Now leave me to my thoughts." Nanashi said as she glared at him. Naraku left the room feeling as if he might not be able to trust Nanashi.

"Inuyasha why do you think Kagome is here? She told you she wasn't coming back for a while." Miroku said running after Inuyasha. "I can smell her." Inuyasha replied as he sped up. Inuyasha reached the well and smelled Kagome's tears as well as her sadness in her scent. It took a couple more seconds to smell the rising anger in Kikyo's scent. "So I take it that Kikyo and Kagome were here." Miroku said startling Inuyasha. "Let’s go. I am not allowed to go back to her time until I make a decision." Inuyasha replied not hiding the hint of sadness in his voice. "It’s probably none of my business but what kind of decision?" Miroku said almost knowing what it was about. "I have to choose between Kikyo and Kagome before I see Kagome again. But the thing is I can't. They are the same but yet they are not." Inuyasha replied looking away from Miroku. "Who do you love is a better question to ask. You need to realize that Kagome is very much alive while Kikyo is not. Kikyo cannot have children. Kagome can't wait on you forever. I hope you make the right choice." Miroku said before he left Inuyasha to think. "You think I don't know this. Maybe I chose long ago or maybe I just now figured it out." Inuyasha leaned his head on his folded arms that now lay on the side of the well. 'If I choose Kagome I will be turning my back on Kikyo but if I choose Kikyo then I will be breaking a major promise to Kagome.' Inuyasha thought growing more and more confused. "What did you say to Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he stood up. "Nothing in particular." Kikyo said as if nothing had ever happened. "Don't lie to me. What did you say to her?" Inuyasha said as he turned to pin Kikyo with a glower. "What was said between us is of no use to you and further more it is none of your business." Kikyo said taking a step toward Inuyasha. "It is my business I can't let you say things to Kagome that can hurt her." Inuyasha said not even thinking. "Why Inuyasha? Do you love her?" Kikyo said with anger in her tone. "Yes I do love her. I promised Kagome I would always protect her." Inuyasha said in almost a yell. They stood by the well for what seemed like hours but was only a couple of minutes. "I see. You said all those things to me once before." Kikyo said before she left. 'I don't think I meant it when I said it to Kikyo.' Inuyasha thought as he began walking back to the village. 'But then again I'm not sure of a lot of things right now.' Inuyasha thought as a familiar scent reached his nose. "Leave me alone Sesshomaru. I'm not in the mood to fight." Inuyasha said before turning around. "This Sesshomaru only wishes to speak with you." Sesshomaru said coming out of the forest. "I don't have time to talk. I just need to go somewhere. Don't think for a minute that this has anything to do with a bastard like you." Inuyasha said clenching his fists. "Don't be so stupid. I need to talk to you about something important." Sesshomaru said disregarding Inuyasha's other comment. "Then make it fast. I have things I need to do." Inuyasha said relaxing only for a second. "You need to come with me. There is much to learn in so little time." Sesshomaru said in his unusually calm way. "I'd rather not." Inuyasha said angrily before running toward the village. "You fool." Sesshomaru said before transforming into an energy ball. Sesshomaru got to the village well before Inuyasha did. Inuyasha stopped suddenly to avoid Sesshomaru but Sesshomaru was to quick and knocked the wind out of Inuyasha making him collapse. "What did you do that for?" Inuyasha asked struggling for breath. "Now you will sleep and when you wake we will talk." Sesshomaru said before striking Inuyasha again making Inuyasha sleep.
When Inuyasha woke he was sitting in a bright red room. 'I must have died.' Inuyasha thought looking around but then he saw Rin playing with Jaken outside. "Nope I'm still alive. That bastard must have brought me to his lands." Inuyasha said gruffly. "Only because I needed to give you something and also I need to speak with you." Sesshomaru said as he walked through the door. "You didn't have to knock me out." Inuyasha said jumping out of his seat. "Now lets get down to business before you stink up this room worse that it already did." Sesshomaru said pulling an old parchment out of a drawer. Inuyasha sniffed the air smelling a very familiar scent. "Why is my mother's scent in here?" Inuyasha asked ignoring Sesshomaru's earlier comment. "This was your mother's room and I can't seem to get the stench out of it no matter how many times I clean it." Sesshomaru said ignoring the growl that was coming from Inuyasha. "But let us get back to what I brought you here for." Sesshomaru held the old parchment closely in order to read it. After he was satisfied that it was the right paper he handed it to Inuyasha. It told of a legend an old seer had told Inuyasha's mother. He read further and noticed it was a story about his life. After he had finished there were tears threatening to fall. "W-where did you get this?" Inuyasha asked in a rather soft voice. Sesshomaru didn't' answer right away. "You're mother wrote it before you were born. An old seer came to the castle one day and told your mother that story. I found it shortly after your mother left here. It was with some old letters." Sesshomaru said before turning to the door. "Come with me Inuyasha or I will not help with the changing of your fate." Inuyasha remained quiet as they walked to Sesshomaru's study. "Inuyasha I do not think the Miko should get involved too much." Sesshomaru said as he thought of the one page that he had not let Inuyasha read. "Why? Kagome has always helped me in the past. I-I know that the battle against Naraku will be dangerous but Kagome makes me stronger." Inuyasha said not noticing the emotion the flickered on Sesshomaru's face. "She could be at risk of getting hurt or even worse dying. But I must ask you do you love Kagome or Kikyo more?" Sesshomaru said thinking of all the times he had fought Inuyasha. Sesshomaru couldn't think of a time when Kagome wasn't right there by Inuyasha's side. "I've told you it’s none of your damn business." Inuyasha said as he was thinking that very same thing. "Inuyasha be careful with your miko or things will become complicated." Sesshomaru said before knocking Inuyasha out again.

"I wonder where Inuyasha is." Sango said as she looked outside. "He was by the well. But I don't know where he could be now." Miroku said taking a look at Sango. “He can take care of himself besides--” Sango paused as she felt a hand stroking her butt. Miroku soon had a red hand print on his face. "It was worth the pain." Miroku said placing his hand on his red cheek. "Can't keep your hands to yourself can you monk?" Inuyasha said as he walked in the hut. "Inuyasha, where were you? I mean what took you so long?" Sango asked before looking to the monk. "That bastard of a brother needed to give me something." Inuyasha said holding up the old parchment. "What is it?" Miroku asked with a puzzled look. "Something my mother was told before I was born." Inuyasha said as he shrugged his shoulders. "Its not anything to worry about is it?" Sango asked her face taking on a look of concern. "No, not really." Inuyasha said as he put the parchment in his sleeve. "So what do we do now? Kagome is the only one who can sense the shards." Miroku asked as he watched Shippo outside. "We go and do nothing until she returns." Inuyasha said pinning Miroku with a cold stare. 'I wonder why Inuyasha is acting so weird. He still hasn't gone back to get Kagome.' Sango thought as she watched the hanyou clad in red. Inuyasha's thoughts kept going back to his mother and how much he still missed her. He didn't know why but when he started feeling his saddest Kagome would come into his mind making him feel happiness.
