Kikyou was still walking after the others to the village with a sardonic grin when she suddenly heard the voice of the man whom she could never forget even after her death. "Funny," he said, more to himself than to his companions. They were out of the forest now and came straight away to the clearing where the fountain was through which only Kagome and Inuyasha could travel. Examining it, he raised his nose in the air, closed his eyes and breathed in slowly through his nose. "I can smell a smell." he only said, but also said more to himself again. He knew that smell from somewhere. He was lovely. He had almost forgotten himself in that scent when he stood there and stretched his face towards the sky. ° How do I know this smell? ° it did not leave him alone and he crept around the well again before giving up following the trail. He just couldn't remember where he knew him from. He only knew that he was human.With that he put the subject aside and turned back to his friends, who were standing there with rollers and could only shake their heads at him again. "What is?" he finally asked when he was visibly annoyed by the stare from the others. "Can we continue then?" he said with an exaggeratedly irritated pitch, where he turned around and was almost a long way ahead.

Miroku and Sango also started their walk again after the demon hunter had looked at him questioningly for a while but only had to accept an equally perplexed shrug from the monk. But now both of them were running after what they thought were completely crazy, half-demons and came up with wild theories of what the sniffing attack from earlier could be all about. Shippo had also jumped off Kikyou's shoulder and ran up to the two of them to hear what they were talking about.

Kikyou ran after the others all alone and thought about it.° What did I forget? Why can he always hand her over? ° She didn't understand. She looked up briefly to take a look at her beloved Inuyasha, but he wasn't even interested in her anymore. Anger rose in her as she watched him, she had separated the two after all, she had personally made sure that the two should never see each other again. And then that, he could still hand her. She could see that exactly as he was walking in front of them and repeatedly sucking in the air around him to make sure that the "stink" in her eyes was still there, he kept looking around and trying to find its source Find.

In the meantime, Kagome had dived into the tub in her day. She couldn't explain it, but she felt terrible. Her skull raced. ° First a hat full of sleep ° she thought as she emerged with her head out of the warm soapy water. It was 10.00 in the morning, actually she could have gone to school because she would have had to go there later that day, but she felt too weak for that.So she stayed at home.

She had now been in bed for an hour and a half and still hadn't closed her eyes. Finally she gave up and went into the room where she first made herself comfortable in front of the television. But nothing was going on properly and so she got stuck on a channel that was broadcasting a Japanese version of Animals Looking For A Home when she saw it. "And now we're going to put someone in front of you who only came to us a few hours ago," said a friendly female voice from the TV set, and a medium-sized dog with long silver-white fur and golden eyes was led in, the one with these Eyes lit up that became very warm to the heart. "This is Inuyasha" she heard the voice again. "Age and origin are unknown. Unfortunately, he is a bit stubborn but if you show patience he can be a wonderful companion who goes through thick and thin with you", said the presenter. ° Yes, she wanted a companion through all phases of life ° and without thinking any further, she picked up the phone and dialed the number of the shelter that is now displayed below.She hadn't thought about what her mother would say about it, but she didn't care at the moment. She really wanted him, it was just such a strange feeling that it was fate that they found each other.

When her mother came home that evening it was too late for any kind of objections, because the new resident greeted her at the front door as soon as she walked in. And so Inuyasha stayed with Kagome and her family, all of whom had immediately taken him to their hearts.

At the same time Inuyasha had a strange feeling of warmth and security but could not explain where it was coming from. He looked around from his tree because it was night for them too. The others lay in Kaede's hut and slept, only he couldn't sleep again. And somehow he didn't want to sleep at all, because the smell of the forest could be heard again in the whole village. But unfortunately he was getting weaker and weaker and he was afraid that he would not be able to reach him the next morning if he would sleep now.But a second person was also awake and looked at him as he sat on the branch and dreamed to himself. She didn't know him like that, because even when they were close then he had never opened up to her.

And now she saw him sitting there - so alone and so vulnerable - she thought and was shocked when she realized that only she was responsible for this sight. Yes, she, Kikyou, who actually always wanted him to be happy with "her" now had to realize that he would never be with her, like with Kagome. Because he hadn't stopped looking for her since he could reach her in the forest, he had run like a madman through there and around without being able to remember her at all. But he still knew that this one trail would lead to the love of his life but the search remained without result. To the delight of Kikyou who also knew that her magic wouldn't last long with him. But she didn't care because as long as Kagome didn't remember him and her love for him, the seal on the well would serve its purpose.° he should know that there was her on the other side ° she finally thought full of anger at him. ° Either he will be happy with me or not at all ° With these thoughts she went back into the hut and only heard one last sigh from Inuyasha.
