Chapter 1
I ran as fast as I could from the battlefield behind me. He ordered me to. There was no exception. I ran from my friends leaving them behind for who knows how long. I may never see them again and if I do it might be to join them in the afterworld. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha were already weak from our previous battle with Kagura and Kanna. We had managed to kill them, but not without a bloody battle. Naraku. He was waiting for us. He was watching us. He was scheming his maniacal plan. He sent his minions to tire us then out of nowhere he came and attacked us while our guard was down. Inuyasha, my beloved, told me to run. I hesitated and then did as he said. I don't know if my all my friends will survive, but was going to make sure that one did. As I fled I grabbed Shippo and ran into the forest. My bow and arrows on my back. I ran as fast as my two legs could carry me. As I ran I clutched something strongly in my right hand. The Shikon no Tama. The completed Shikon No Tama. I closed my eyes and made a wish. Please give my friends the strength to live and give me the strength to keep running. The jewel started to glow. I knew my wish would come true, but how it did still astonishes me to this very day.A few minutes after I made the wish I collapsed. "No I gotta keep running. Have to get to Kaede." I managed to get out. I got dizzy. My vision failed me as I tried to see. I feel into a deep sleep leaving Shippo by himself in the forest.
Shippo listened for a stream. He went in the direction of the sound of running water. He stood there thinking. I need a way to get some water to Kagome. He paced trying to get an idea when he recognized a scent that came to his nose. KOUGA! Shippo ran in Kouga's direction. He found the wolf demon sitting on the edge of a cliff. "Kouga! Kouga! I need your help! It's Kagome!" Shippo yelled. He turned around and headed back to where he left Kagome.
I followed the little kitsune into the forest. Questions buzzing through my brain as I ran. 'What happened to Kagome? Where is Inuyasha?" We headed in to a small clearing. There in the middle was Kagome. My Kagome. She was bruised and breathing heavily. "What happened Shippo? Were you attacked." I asked while picking Kagome up and carrying her to the river. "No, but then again yes." He started to tell me what had happened. After the kid finished telling me what happened, I looked at Kagome's tired face. She was sleeping a little bit easier now. Suddenly she started to move.
I woke up with a migraine headache. The first thing I thought about was Shippo. "Shippo?" I asked. The little kitsune ran up to me. "I'm here Kagome. We're safe now. You can rest. Kouga's here to help us." He chirped. I turned my head. There sitting beside me was Kouga. "Thank you for helping us Kouga." I whispered, for I had no strength to talk in my normal voice. "No problem, Kagome. Now you just rest. You did a very hard, long run." He replied. I turned my head to look at our surroundings. We were still in the forest. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
