Previously, Kagome sent out into the forest looking for Inuyasha. During her search for him, she spotted something that out her off guard, one of Kikyo's soul collectors.

ooo

Kagome was surprised. It took a moment for her eyes to focus onto the glowing creature, flying a short distance away from her. She even took another moment to blink a couple of times, making sure, she was in fact, seeing what she believed she was seeing.

It really is one of Kikyo's soul collectors... that means Kikyo is nearby...and that means Inuyasha is most likely with her.

The thought that Inuyasha might be off somewhere, having an intimate moment with Kikyo, caused a storm of emotions to stir within Kagome's heart.

Inuyasha did you sneak out to might with Kikyo again? Do you really only see me as a jewel shard detector? No. No, Inuyasha does love me. He loves me just as much as he loves Kikyo...

I need to believe in him.

Kagome took a deep breath to clear her thoughts, "Even if Inuyasha might be rude and selfish sometimes, he does love me as just as much as he loves Kikyo. I know it."

With her mind made up, Kagome started trailing Kikyo's soul collector in hope when she finds Kikyo, she will also find Inuyasha.

However, unknowingly to her there was someone following her as she follows Kikyo's soul collector.

From the shadows of the forest the man following Kagome is proving to have an odd character because as he watched our beloved priestess having an emotional crisis, he had an apparent gleam of anticipation and amusement in his ruby eyes.

As he observed Kagome following the soul collector, he could not help but be amused.

"Surely, there will be a show tonight," he said above a whisper.
