Chapter 1: Falling
When the faint blue light faded, she started climbing out of the well. The familiar sights and sounds of the Feudal Era refreshed her. She began looking for her favorite inu-hanyou, well the only inu-hanyou she knew. She saw Inuyasha lying against the well she was climbing out of. She set her extremely overstuffed backpack on the ground then sat next to Inuyasha. After a few minutes he stirred a little then, with his eyes closed, he said, "Kagome?"
"Yea, hey Inuyasha. Good Morning." She answered him. Then helped him to his feet.
He yawned then grabbed her bag slung it over his shoulder, and said, "Lets go. I think they're waiting."
"Mkay."
They walked a little then Kagome stopped and picked a few herbs. When she finished she looked up and saw Inuyasha walking a few yards ahead of her then she said, "Hey Inuyasha."
He turned around and then his usual expression changed to a grave one. He jumped at her and yelled, "Look out Kagome!"
She screamed and ducked then saw a large chunk of an all to familiar tentacle land about 5 feet in front of her. She did a 180 and saw Inuyasha and Naraku staring each other down.
She slowly walked up and stood next to Inuyasha, needing protection cause she was unarmed.
"Naraku! Came to get your worthless hide handed to you on a silver platter?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Still the same over arrogant attitude… Sad." Naraku said then laughed. His laugh made Kagome gag. "Kagome why don't you be a good little bitch and give me your shards?"
Inuyasha's top blew off. "Just fuck off, Naraku! She's not going to give the shards to a worthless waste of flesh and life as yourself!"
"To the contrary, Inuyasha!"
Then, out of nowhere, Kagome felt a horrid pain inside of her. She screamed as the chunk of flesh that Inuyasha had cut off flew out of her chest taking the shards with it.
She heard Inuyasha scream, "Kagome!" She felt him pick her up and start running, probably to the village.
" I-Inuyasha… I'm s-scared." She managed to squeeze the words out of her.
"Kagome don't worry you'll be fine." He knew he was lying through his teeth. He lifted her head up to his and put his forehead to hers and whispered, "Kagome stay with me. Come on, stay awake." He shook her gently.
She would've blushed but she was loosing too much blood. "I'll always be with you no matter what, Inuyasha." She lifted her head up and kissed Inuyasha on the cheek. She smiled then nodded out.
"Damnit!"
He ran into their hut and saw half-naked Miroku on top of half-naked Sango. He Picked up and threw Miroku across the hut, then looked at Sango and politely asked her to get off the bed.
"What happened?" They asked in unison, still pissed cause he ruined their 'alone time'.
"Naraku." He muttered. "Hurry and go get Keade!"
In a flash they put on their clothes and ran out of the hut. A few moments later they walked in with Keade and Shippo.
She examined Kagome for a few minutes then turned to the grim companions. "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do for her. It's a miracle she is still alive right now though. She has sustained so much damage and lost so much blood that… Well she's not going to make it. She's only human."
Sango and Shippo were devastated they immediately broke into tears and ran out of the hut. Miroku patted Inuyasha on the back, and then went to comfort Sango.
"There's only one option." Inuyasha said.
"What is that Inuyasha?" Keade asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. Please just give me some privacy." He said with a solemn look on his face. Keade nodded then stepped out of the hut.
Inuyasha sat there for a few minutes then decided he couldn't wait any longer.
"Forgive me, Kagome."
Well what do you think? Please Review and tell me if I should stick with it! Don't worry I don't have it in my heart to kill off Kagome.
