*spoilers* This is going into detail of episode past 167 just as a warning. Also im not following the manga story line, just using bits of it.

Silhouette Of A Taiyoukai,

Hakudoish had been sucked up by Miroku's wind tunnel, Kagura had been killed and Inuyasha's sword now held dragon scales. Rest, rest was most needed. Things were beginning to get difficult and scary. There would be no more playing around and taking nice dips in hot springs, they could feel it in their bones, all of them. It was no longer just about collecting the jewel shards and killing meaningless demons. Naraku's heart was at their finger tips, yet out of reach. Soon, to soon they would come face to face with Naraku, the real Naraku, not a puppet.

Things needed to be done, had to be done, but what need to be done and what was going to be done are 2 different things, after all life is what happens while your busy making other plans. Not matter how much they did, or thought they were going to do to, fate is what it is, and there is nothing anyone could do to stop it. They may have thought what they were doing or going to be doing was of their own device, but it was fates way. Fate is what it is, nothing more and nothing less.

Kagome and Inuyasha made their way back to the well. They would many more supplies, many more battles were to come. Inuyasha walked to his sword out, looking over its new form. Not only had it changed with dragon scales but he now could cut a demons vortex. Inuyasha wondered if his brother new of the sword ability, perhaps that is why his brother sought to take him from him so many time.

"Wow, your father really knew what he was doing when he had those swords made hu?"

Inuyasha didn't look at her "Uh, yeah guess so, don't know why Totosia just didn't tell me how to use it to begin with"

Kagome smiled "Because that would not be learning, you have to be teached to learn!" Kagome said with a big smile. Inuyasha gave her a flat look, she was always going on and on about learning and teaching and test, stupid tests. They made it to the clearing and Inuyasha heard Kagome gasp, he looked to her then to the well.

"Sesshomaru" Inuyasha whispered,

Sesshomaru stood looking down the well, his back to him. Inuyasha was trying to figure out why he had not smelt him, maybe because he was to into his sword.

"The wells power" Sesshomaru started, Kagome gasp and took a step forward, Sesshomaru turned to look at her "What kind of human jumps into a old well made for demon bones?"

He asked while he ran his hand down his hair "It would be the same human, I guess, that could draw a demon sword, even when I Sesshomaru could not"

"What do you want bastard?" Inuyasha then spit out. Sessomaru looked at him "The fang, it has changed, I can smell the power from here"

Inuyasha growled "Yeah what of it!"

"Fear not half breed" Sesshomaru placed his hand on his sword, Inuyasha knew in a instant that his sword had changed as well. Sesshomaru turned back to look at the well "Do you not find it odd miko, that Naraku has yet to destroy this well, or use it"

"He, he does not know about the well" She whispered

"How foolish" Sesshomaru said looking away from her again,

"Do you really think Naraku has not noticed you?" A womans cold voice spoke,

Ever turn to see Kikyo walking from the woods, her soul stealer near her.

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha whispered,

Kagome looked back and forth from Kikyo and Sesshomaru "If Naraku new about it he would have destroyed it already" Kagome tried to point out. Sesshomaru of course once again found her thinking foolish.

"Stupid girl" Kikyo said stopped a distance from them "Naraku knows, and that why-" she paused for a moment "You must return to you time, and the well must be destroyed!" Kikyo snapped.

"What!" Kagome said making fist with her hands "I'm not leaving!"

Sesshomaru looked at the well longer, in deep thought. He agreed that the well should be destroyed, it was a threat, but he was not so sure he agreed that Kagome should go with it. He knew she would be a major factor in killing Naraku. The dead one just wished to rid the girl.

"You need me! The jewel was in my body, it was my fault! I have to wish one it, you know that!" Kagome yelled as if she were on trial. Inuyasha stood quite the whole time.

"It is for the best Inuyasha" Kikyo spoke looking at him. Kagome and Inuyasha eyes met, but as they looked at each other Sesshomaru was walking away, Kagome last words running in his head. She had to complete the jewel and he knew Kikyo would be gone before she could do anything about it. So it was decided, Sesshomaru stopped, took out his sword, turned on his toes and slashed at the air low, letting the power flow from his hands, down his sword, out to the air and strait at the well.

All she saw was the Silhouette of his sword and she ran "Sesshomaru no!" She ran to him with her hand held out, as if that was going to stop him.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled,

Kagome stopped running and covered her face with her arm as the blinding power ran past her and to the well.

Destroying it.
