"Speaking"

`Thinking'

------------------

Kagome wore her usual cheery smile as she approached the well. She decided that day that she would always be at Inuyasha's side, to be forever his friend…Sadly she knew that was all he would ever give her so that is what she accepted. Looking once more at her house she jumped into the well.

`Won't Inuyasha be surprised when he sees I came early for once?'

The magic of the well went over her body smoothly and she landed softly as she always did on the ground. She grinned as she remembered her last three years shard hunting with Inuyasha. She had grown stronger, much more agile and could fight with a grace that rivaled Sesshoumaru's, she even had control of her miko powers…though Inuyasha or the others knew none of it. Kagome felt a little guilty for keeping it from them but she wanted them all to feel as needed as they always did. Kagome had blossomed into a beautiful young woman in those three years. Her body was fit and toned, her mind was sharp and quick, and her blue-gray eyes showed more strength than anyone would ever know…but somewhere along the way she had been slightly tainted. Beneath the strength lay the hungry beast of hate, betrayal, and pain that slowly ate away at her innocent air and her normally cheerful exterior. Flipping out of the well with little to no effort, Kagome scanned the area for demons. Shrugging when she felt none Kagome began to walk to Kaede's village. The sun was high and brushed warmly on her face. She sighed and continued her journey. The young girl began to wonder idly where Inuyasha was, he was always there pestering her when she got back, but now she stood alone walking down this too familiar trail. Hearing muffled voices off to the side in a clearing, her curiosity got the best of her and she moved behind trees swiftly throwing a concealing spell over her and within seconds she saw and heard things that she couldn't believe nor would she ever forget. There Inuyasha stood, with Kikyou snuggling passionately into his arms, they spoke quietly but still she could hear them. She heard Kikyo speak first in her dull, dispassionate voice.

"I still love you Inuyasha…but to fully love you as I had before I need my soul."

Inuyasha gave her a confused look, before realization dawned in his golden eyes.

"K-Kikyo? Do you mean you want me to kill Kagome?"

Kikyo gave a false but dramatic sigh.

"Yes, my love I do. She must be dealt with before she becomes a problem! I love you and I fear for you being around her. Do you…care for her Inuyasha?"

Fake pain laced her voice and implanted itself in her dull, lifeless eyes. She reminded Kagome of a Barbie doll with the removable accessories, giving a quiet unladylike snort she thought to herself.

`Kikyo dolls with removable emotions!'

Her amusement was shortly lived though as Inuyasha uttered his own words.

"I do care for her as a friend but if I have to sacrifice her for you, I will do so."

Kagome stepped back from the tree looking as if she had been slapped. Her mind raced.

`No! He did not just say that! He is my friend…right?'

Turning without another though Kagome fled from the area just as Kikyo lowered Inuyasha's lips to hers in a kiss. She couldn't take this! How could the one who she trusted most plan to kill her? Running for miles at a time, not even noticing that she was a blur even to demon eyes Kagome wanted to be rid of those images…of his words that ricocheted off the walls of her mind. Falling to her knees after what seemed like hours Kagome cried, she sobbed out the betrayal she felt.

"That bastard! I will kill him and his dead bitch! He will pay…painfully."

Her eyes became an icy color and you cold feel the chill that resonated from her glare. A sadistic smirk framed her face and a bit of her hidden monster chuckled in glee and spoke to her in a charming, seductive tone.

`Finally little one, it is time for me to be free.'
