""Inuyasha!" Kagome managed to scream out at the one who was once her protector. Her legs fueled by adrenaline, pumping her forward, even as she loses her breath.

"He doesn't care for you anymore, don't you see that wench?!" The scream came from the all too familiar Kikyo. Kagome screamed as an arrow grazed her cheek, drawing blood. If it had been any closer she would've lost an eye. Her screams called out for Inuyasha who she hoped would come to her calls. Yet the only thing that seemed to happen was the disgusting laughter of Kikyo, her predecessor who wished her dead. "He doesn't love you. If you don't believe me then ask him yourself." Kikyo shouted, grinning as Inuyasha showed himself from behind a tree.

"Inu-Yasha." Kagome squeaked out. "Why?" Inuyasha didn't hesitate, he didn't even seem affected by her tears. He flew at her, tearing open the side of her stomach.

"Gah!" Kagome sputtered, grasping onto her side. Her mind made the decision, if she didn't run she'd die. But did it really matter if she died? After all the one she loved now showed his true colours, the colours that express his hatred towards her.

Getting to her feet she fueled her body with adrenaline, sprinting as fast as she could with a wound.

"Don't even think about it!" Inuyasha growled, catching up to her with ease. He pushed her into a tree with ease, not even caring when he heard one of her arms snap. Kagome resisted the urge to cry, but couldn't hold back the scream of pain from her arm. It was her left arm that now hung lifeless. Inuyasha watched with a smile on his face as she stumbled through the forest, farther towards a clearing in the middle of the forest.

"Don't let her get away! I want her dead! I want my soul back!" Kikyo screamed, aiming her arrow at Kagome's leg. Screaming she let the arrow fly, watching as it pierced the miko's leg, and as she stumbled face first into damp ground, her knee scraping against a sharp rock. Her adrenaline was the only thing left keeping her alive. Finally some tears leaked from her eyes as she rose to her feet, dragging her one leg behind her as she hopped along through the forest, the sun was setting and Inuyasha could smell the rain that was coming.

"She'll bleed to death at this rate. May as well just leave her." Inuyasha chided with arrogance.

"Not without one last arrow to her leg, don't need her trying to get help." Kikyo Protested aiming her arrow at kagome's other leg. She released the arrow allowing it to gouge Kagome's leg. Inuyasha grumbled, grabbing Kikyo and bounding off through the forest towards their camp.

Kagome let out a breath she knew she'd been holding, she didn't want Inuyasha to see her pained from this, but what did it matter, after all he was the one who decieved her all along. Her leg felt like it was on fire, and she knew they were right, at this rate she would bleed to death.

With the last ounce of strength she had, she crawled through the forest, scratching her legs on the rocks, her one arm dragging along with her, and her hand stinging from the pressure. Inuyasha had been right about the rain, it started as a sprinkle and turned into a torrential downpour. As she continued crawling through the mud that was once dirt, she became filthy, her hair was matted in blood, dirt and mud.

Collapsing on the ground, her face splashed into the mud, she had to keep her face sideways as to not suffocate in mud. Closing her eyes she thought back to the day she met Inuyasha, squishing his ears, the days when she was happy. But then her mind was flooded with humiliation. She had been deceived by the one she loved.

"Was it really that easy? Was I really that foolish?" Kagome muttered before her body went motionless, still as a doll.

"Jaken." Cold words came from the Lord of the western lands.

"Yes mi Lord?" Jaken stood as straight as a toothpick, awaiting his masters orders.

"Take Rin, and head back to the castle." Sesshomaru stated plainly. Obviously colder than normal.

"Yes mi Lord." Jaken turned around, walking to Rin, and listening to her dull stories as they got on A-un.

Now free of Jaken and the human girl, Sesshomaru walked deeper into the forest, following the scent of his hanyou brother and his Miko. Inuyasha should know better than to be on his lands. But when he reached the scent, it wasn't what he had expected. It was Inuyasha's miko, lying lifeless in mud and dirt, covered in blood and the scent of Inuyasha. "Hn."

Sesshomaru drew his sword Tenseiga and slashed through the goblins that were trying to drag the miko to the otherworld.

Kagome gasped a breath, but still didn't get up. Her main wounds healed immediately, but the others would take time. She had been wounded more severely than the hanyou should have allowed.
