Seducing Kagome

Kagome floated in the cool water of the small pond she had been bathing in. She was becoming more comfortable with the idea of bathing in the forest even though now and then she would worry about prying eyes.

The sun shone down on her, keeping her at a level of comfort, despite the coolness of the water. She ran her hands across the surface of the water watching as the sun sparkled off of the crystal clear liquid.

'Ahh. Too bad I can't stay like this forever.' Kagome thought while preparing to climb out of the pond. She paused for a moment making sure nobody was wandering around through the forest before standing up straight and hurrying towards her clothes. She quickly dressed and headed toward the camp. She hoped Inuyasha was worried. That had been a rather long bath, yet she knew he wasn't.

Kagome was in love, no, not in love. She had to keep reminding herself that. No, she was not in love she was just 'Going through something, a phase.' Kagome thought as she reflected on her feelings for Inuyasha. Love was reciprocated and she knew, no matter how hard she wished it be true, that Inuyasha did not love her back.

As she walked through the trees to the clearing that she and her friends had made camp upon she saw Inuyasha sitting with his back up against a tree trunk. It was a usual sight but seeing him leaning back with his head bent low was enough to make Kagome's heart beat quicken.

"Took you long enough!" Inuyasha stated as he looked at Kagome. He paused when his eyes met her figure. Her hair was still wet and she looked refreshed. As if the act of bathing had renewed her recently tired form.

"Whatever, Inuyasha." Kagome stated dismissively at Inuyasha's comment before heading toward Sango who slept with a sleeping Kirara in her lap.

"I'm bored." Sango stated blankly as Kagome sat down next to her. "You would think I'd be happy to finally have a moment of peace but I need something to do." She finished while slowly stroking the sleeping cat demon in her lap.

"I know who- uh, what you can do." Miroku said distractedly as he walked up to Sango.

"Miroku, I heard that I don't want to ever do anything with you." Sango replied annoyed.

"What? I just mixed up a few words. I was going to ask if you wanted to take a walk with me. Nowhere in particular just around the forest." Miroku replied as he stopped in front of the two women. He waved at Kagome before returning his attention to Sango.

"I know I'm desperate for entertainment now because that actually sounded like a good idea." Sango said while scooping a still sleeping Kirara out of her lap and handing her over to Kagome. "Be back in a little while." She stated before heading off into the trees with Miroku.

Kagome sat there petting Kirara for a moment before looking in Inuyasha's direction. He appeared to be asleep with his head bowed. Kagome couldn't help but think about how nice he looked at that moment.

He was always on guard so he had his sword in his lap even when he was sleeping. Kagome was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that she had been staring at Inuyasha for quite a while.

"What are you looking at?!" Inuyasha's harsh words startled Kagome and nocked her out of her reverie.

"Nothing." She replied sheepishly. Why did he have to be so mean? She didn't mean to stare. And why did he have to notice everything? She felt a bit embarrassed at being caught in her love-induced stuper. "Where did Shippo go?" Kagome asked as she realized the fox demon was nowhere in sight.

"How should I know?" Inuyasha snapped. He looked across the small clearing to see what appeared to be a hurt expression cross her features.

'Why do you have to be so mean? All I did was ask a question." Kagome said a small amount of sadness could be detected in her voice as she placed Kirara in the grass and headed into the trees.

Inuyasha sat there surprised. He hadn't expected her to become so upset. He started to get up and go after her but changed his mind. He wasn't going to chase after her, he would just be sure to be extra alert to any danger that could befall her.

Kagome had wandered a ways from the camp before she realized that tears were streaming down her face. She halted as she realized she had been crying 'Why are you being so weak?' Kagome mentally screamed at herself. "Just because he is nice on rare occasions doesn't mean he isn't the same old jackass." She told herself outloud.

The thought of her crying over someone who would never return her feelings angered her. Kagome took off at a run trying to put as much distance between her and Inuyasha as possible.

She ran for a few minutes before slowing down. She looked around to realize all that she had managed to do was get herself lost. She tried to find something, anything that looked familiar but her search proved futile.

Kagome's back stiffened as she heard a twig snap behind her. She stood unmoving for a moment hoping that it was just Shippo or Miroku and Sango on their walk. She slowly turned around to see a pair of gleaming eyes looking at her from through the thick underbrush.

"Shippo if that's you, this isn't funny." Kagome said as her fear started to build.

The creature was still for a few seconds before revealing itself. A large and rather frightening white wolf climbed from behind the bush that was concealing it. Kagome slowly reached behind her to grab her bow and an arrow before remembering that she had left them at camp. She would have mentally cursed herself if the great amount of fear she was feeling hadn't numbed her brain.

She slowly started to back away from the horrifying creature but was stopped as she heard more rustling around her. Slowly and stealthily four more wolves revealed them selves from their hiding places all around her.

Kagome silently weighed her options and found that none except to try and run. She was up against five upset and hungry looking wolves with no weapons and no help. She silently prayed before turning and running as fast as she could toward the only opening she saw.

She only made it about three feet before she felt a searing pain in her left calf. She turned her head to see one of the wolves holding her left leg in between its powerful jaws. It bit down again and Kagome fell to the ground The other four wolves descended upon her as she let out what was to be her last scream.

She felt one bite down on her collar before unknown sounds reached her ears. There was a second of confusion where Kagome didn't know what was happening. Was this what it was like when one died?

Everything went silent as the sounds of the wolves died out and Kagome could hear passed the pounding of her own heart. She turned her head and felt a mind numbing pain in her shoulder. It became obvious that she wasn't dead as the pain caused her vision to blur. When her eyes focused again she saw a sea of red.

It appeared that everything was covered in red including the figure that was moving toward her. 'Oh my goodness!! I'm in Hell!' Kagome thought as all of the pain started to wash over her and the red figure closed in on her. She began to panic and tried to move even with the great amount of pain that each movement caused.

The figure descended on her and tried to pin her down. Kagome struggled harder as she felt the strong arms of what appeared to be the devil pinned her to the ground. She was in Hell! Why else would she feel so much pain when she was dead? Why else was everything red and this creature was trying to hold her down, trying to harm her?

Kagome's eyes filled with tears and her vision blurred even more.

"Kagome! Stop trying to fight me!" A stern yet familiar voice stated firmly. Kagome don't move. It's me, don't try to fight me." The voice continued.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned. No, it couldn't be Inuyasha. She was in Hell and Inuyasha was alive. Besides this creature before her, this devil, was red. It's face and hands were red and it's hair was the shining silver of Inuyasha. No, the Devil was trying to trick her into believing he was Inuyasha.

"Kagome! Stop struggling! Calm down it's me. Inuyasha."

Kagome tried to scream, she tried to say 'no' she knew that it was not the hanyou she loved that was holding her. She tried to protest but her voice wouldn't come. She tried to speak but when she opened her mouth she choked on the blood that came up from her throat.

Everything was becoming dark, slowly dimming. Even the voice of the creature that was holding her was slowly fading into the distance.

She was barely able to hear the despaired voice that called out to her "Kagome! Don't leave me, please!"
