Authors Note: This is my first published story. I love to write but worry that it's not good enough. So to increase my writing and practice I'm posting stories here. Plus it will get these ENDLESS plots out of my head. So anyways here you go J

Chapter 1

The ridicule was endless. Would it ever really stop? One minute he would be caring and saying it was his duty to protect her, but the next he would be run to her. The girl she was the reincarnation of. No matter what she did, who she defeated or saved it would never be enough. Always living in the shadow of Kikyo was getting stupid and it really took a toll of her emotions. Every time Inuyasha compared her to Kikyo saying Kikyo was prettier, better marksmen, better at controlling her spiritual abilities, and the latest one in their recent argument better at understanding him. The fight started over him bursting into the camp yelling "Oi, where the food, wench?" Quickly it had turned into a full blown fight about how he didn't appreciate her enough. Bringing up that dead clay pot was a low blow and even he knew it. The two of them argued more than usual lately but this was different. The moment he brought up Kikyo the mood changed. She screamed at him about how Kikyo was just trying to drag him to hell with her and he was stupid not to see it. He had just replied that she was jealous that his feelings weren't unrequited and how she was just a copy, a bad one at that. She was tired of being compared to Kikyo, and if she stayed with Inuyasha that's all that would happen. Well enough was enough.

That was how we came to find a certain average height girl with a curvy figure and long wavy black hair whose big brown eyes were shining with unshed tears running alone through the forest. Yes she knew there were demons, and they had a tendency to fight her for the jewel shards she wore around her neck but at the moment she didn't care. She just wanted to get as far, far away as possible from Inuyasha.

Little did she know she had chosen to wipe her eyes at the wrong time and tripped over a tree root that was protruding from the ground. With a surprise gasp she tumbled through the air for a moment before rolling across the ground and landing in a heap sending up clouds of dust. Bruises were starting to form but they did hurt half as much as her ankle. In an attempt at standing she realized it was probably sprained when she couldn't get up easily. After a few tries she did manage to stay upright. "Great job Kagome. Sprain your ankle on a tree stump. Stupid" she muttered to herself before looking up, only to realize her trouble hadn't ended.

Standing in front of her was a big and powerful boar demon. Little needs to be say about him other than he was huge and covered in fur with shorter but sharp claws and pointed teeth. "Looky here a little miko all on her own" he taunted in a raspy voice. Trying to seem brave she stood up taller and glared at him. "Leave before I purify you" she demanded keeping the waver out of her voice. "Nah, I think I'll do this" he said quickly before lunging at her. Kagome jumped out of the way but not quite fast enough as his claws raking her side. She had only just stood again when she barely missed the claws yet again.

After a few minutes of this cycle Kagome ended up kneeling on the ground clutching her side unable to stand. After having been knocked backwards and having her shoulders and legs cut, her ankle had just given up on her and that demon still wanted her. He smirked and sauntered over to her. He had the nerve to just walk right over. "Maybe your life isn't all I'll take" he said with dark clouded eyes as he bent down to be level with her face.

Roughly he grabbed her cheek turning her eyes to face him, cutting it in the process. With one look in his eyes she knew exactly what he meant. She struggled against him but he had her arms pinned behind her and it's not like she could exactly get up. With an evil smile he forced his lips against hers. Shoving his tongue in her mouth he pushed her down and cut the shirt off her body. Raking his claws up her stomach he stopped at her bra.

She whimpered and fought against him but her body was too weak. The crying and running had taken a toll on her before he found her. She couldn't scream with him forcefully kissing her. It didn't stop her from trying and he cut her bra off and grabbed her breasts. An idea forming she struggled harder and bit down on his tongue till he pulled away from her. She let loose the loudest scream she could. It didn't last long though as he smacked her face hard. "YOU STUPID GIRL" he bellowed, "you'll pay". With that he hit her again knocking her out.

With a smile he moved to continue what he had been doing. Before he could do anything else he was kicked through the air and thrown against a tree. In a blur he was attempting to fight something that moved a lot faster than he did. Poison bit at him with every slice and jab the thing put at him. He died quickly and easily.

With that 'thing' dealt with of the killer turned so he could focus on what he came to do. Quickly and with purpose he hurried over and knelt beside the girl on the ground. Her black hair was tangled and surrounded her face; dark red blood pooled on the ground around her and stained her skin. In one fluid motion he had removed the outer layer of his clothing and covered her with it. Gently he picked her up bridal style not wanting to make her injuries worse. After checking she was as comfortable as she could be considering her condition the silver haired demon took to the sky.
