This is my attempt at at a new story. Do I pass or do I fail ?

All Inuyasha characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Thank God for her imagination.

The air was warm and crisp, autumn had finally arrived. The trees were losing their leaves, the plants dying, yet it was all part of life. How dull would the world be if it was constantly the same? The world is always changing, all you can do is move forward with it can't you?

This is what the conflicted girl had come to find out. She stood there staring at the Goshinboku. Should she move forward or stand still. Left behind to be forgotten, just another soul in this life. Could she? Would she?

"Kagome!"

The raven haired girl turned around to the cause of her soul searching. It was Inuyasha once again disrupting her life for pointless chatter.

"Yes, Inuyasha." she responded.

" What the heck are you do'in here? I told you go go home and stay there."he yelled loudly.

He grabbed by the throat and threw her right into the sacred tree.

"How dare you disobey me bitch!" He scowled as he looked at her slumped against the tree.

What else could she have expected. They had defeated Naraku, the wish had been made.

"I wish for the all those whose lives have been ruined by the lust for the power of the Shikon no Tama that they obtain their heart's desire."

The minute those words escaped her lips, her life was forever broken. Things would never be the same and there wasn't one thing she could do to change it.

" Stay away from me and my mate or you'll regret it. " Inuyasha growled under his breath.

He approached her with a murderous look in her eyes. He grabbed her by the arm so tight that his claws pierced her flesh. Blood seeped from her wounds, but he still wouldn't let go.

The young miko squirmed trying to free herself from his grasp as she saw him raise his other hand.

" This will teach you to stay away." he said as his hand started to ooze a sickly green. His face remained stern and he showed his fangs just to intimidate the girl.

Then he struck her.

His claws raked her skin leaving a gash from her cheek down to her chest.

"Weak." was all he said as her left her to bleed. He ran off leaving her for some demon to come across.

She laid there limp and lifeless. Pain is only a physical and emotional manifestation. All her physical wounds would eventually heal or she could die. The emotional the pain could no longer felt since she lacked a soul.

It was as much a blessing as a curse. That last insult Inuyasha left her with simply slid right off her heart leaving no scars like they used to.

She stood up, wincing at the pain her human body endured. She focused her Miko powers into the wounds and slowly healing her. She couldn't feel the warmth like she used to.

She looked up at the sky as if looking for the gods to give an answer. Any sign divine or otherwise.

She waited as her wounds healed.

Clouds passed by taking on a reddish orange hue of color. The sun had begun to sun as it seemed. That meant it would be getting dark soon, the demons of the night would come. With hungry stomachs and single-celled minds that could only think of one word : Food.

The seconds ticked by and she waited for her answer that had arrived in the form of a snake youkai.

"I sssseems that your to become my nexxxt meal human." with that he decided it fit to sink his fangs into his dinner letting his poison run through her veins.

His body started coiling around her body, choking the life out of her. It was tough trying to figure out which was going to kill her. Would it be the poison or the choking. It did not matter the out come would be the same.

Death.

Her eyes closed and her breathing came to a halt. Her heart stopped and didn't even try to beat again.

She welcomed death just one last time, then the darkness consumed her insides. Leaving the world of humans and youkai.

The snake youkai feasted on her body without a second thought.

The end had come.

And so the beginning.......

"KAGOME! WAKE UP!" yelled Akito.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"screeched a very confused Kagome. She scanned around to find one of the members of her Elemental Guard.

"Did Mike burn the castle down again!?" Oh when will that little pyro of a kitsune youkai ever learn?

She leaped out of bed to see what havoc had befallen he castle while she slept.

" Darius! What ever fire Mike made PUT IT OUT!"

Review please or the story gets it.
