Chapter 1:
Running
-------------------------------Early in the Morning--------------------
Kagome woke up to the sunlight bathing her in its beauty. She immediately sat up and looked over at Inuyasha's sleeping form, subconsciously wondering what he was dreaming about. Was it possible that he was dreaming of her? Or…maybe Kikyou…?
Shippou woke up at the loss of heat not longer after and saw Kagome. "Kagome," he murmured, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, "I'm hungry."
Kagome turned and smiled gently. "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Shippou put his hand under his chin to think, but right as he was about to answer, Inuyasha interrupted. "Ramen," he said from his position on a tree branch.
Kagome turned to him and stared him down. "I wasn't talking to you, Inuyasha!" She turned to the small kitsune, trying to hide her slight annoyance at the hanyou. "Now, Shippou, what do you want?"
"Candy and cookies!"
Kagome chuckled. "Sorry, you can't, not for breakfast. It's too early."
"How about ramen, then?"
"Right then. While I'm doing that, wake up the others, okay?" Shippou nodded and did just that as the day began…
The day went by as usual: Kagome sensed shards, Inuyasha and the others fought for it, and when that was all done, Kagome purified the shard and added it to her collection. They found three shards and Inuyasha seem pleased. However, eventually Kagome grew tried and asked to stop for the night. Typically, Inuyasha refused, but after "sitting" him a few times,they were all able to rest at their camp for the night.
"Sango," Kagome smiled at her friend, "do you want to make a trip to the hot springs with me?"
"No, that's alright, I'm fine," the demon slayer smiled back. "I'll stay here and kept an eye on the monk.''
"Well," Miroku protested, getting up, "I would love to come with you, Kagome-"
"Umm…no thanks, Miroku."
Sango waved Kagome off and was cautiously watching the grinning, but disappointed, Miroku very carefully.
Little did Kagome know, Inuyasha could smell Kikyou's scent nearby throughout this whole time, and once she had left to the hot springs, he left to pursue the dead miko.
-----------------------------------At the Springs-----------------------
Kagome sat on a smooth rock, thinking sweetly of Inuyasha and how he had made her feel the way she had, the way his face looked when he was sleeping or angry, and the way he had easily frustrated her, but made her happy at the same time.
Am I in love, or is this just a silly crush? Kagome shook her head, thinking to herself. I don't know, I really don't… I mean, we've known each other for almost a year, but…
Tell him how you feel! He might feel the same, you know.
Leave me alone, I'm not in the mood. It's a ridiculous idea, anyway.
It doesn't matter. The point is, you have to tell him!
Yes, but…what if he doesn't feel the same about me?
Well, you never know until you try. Now, go on! Can't you hear his voice? He's coming!
He is! You're right, the sooner the better. I need to get this off my chest.
Good, now go!
Kagome jumped up and hurried to dress. She threw on her dark blue jeans and tank top, stepping into her sneakers. Once she finished, she quickly hurried toward the destination where she heard Inuyasha's voice coming from, along with a girl's. That's probably Sango, she thought. But as she got closer, she soon realized that he wasn't with the demon slayer at all…
Kikyou!
Although she didn't want to see for herself, Kagome found herself coming closer to the voices…the noises…the sounds… She hid behind a bush and threw a hand over her mouth at the sight she saw. She was going to be sick!
----------------------------In the Clearing -------------------
Inuyasha was kissing Kikyou's neck, biting into her in his fit of passion to mark her as his mate.
His youkai was going mad, and he made one sharp movement, flipping her on her hands and knees. He immediately repositioned himself, thrusting into her, but he didn't stop there. He continued to pull himself in and out of her, grunting in his heat.
"Inuyasha…! Harder…!" He did not leave Kikyou unsatisfied, as he thrust himself deep within her, causing her to moan his name loudly in ecstasy. "Oh, yes! Inuyasha! Just like that! Ooh, gods, like that…!"
I can't watch…this is wrong! Kagome was stunned in her terror, and she couldn't seem to pull away from the grotesque sight. It's nasty! This is disgusting! Why…? Why her? Why not me…why? Why did I have to fall in love with him? All he's doing is betraying me with this…zombie!
Kagome…we should kill them…take their very lives away… He should be yours! But, no…he had to be with that dead slut! Go on…let me free…I want to kill!
Kagome's eyes flashed red as she let herself go at these thoughts. She stoically walked away to retrieve her arrows.
He shall die a painful death, and once I'm through with him, I'll just go on home! No…I still have a duty. I'll go to Saulvaren's. She'll help me. She's the one that made me who…what I am!
Yes, Saulvaren's place. She'll help you. This is perfect! Now we can come together…we can become a full demon!
Kagome smirked and grabbed her bag, searching through it for her bow and quiver. She didn't know that Shippou, who was sleeping at the time, as it was late at night, had heard a lot of noise, waking him up, and he was here to find the source of it. "Kagome? What are you doing?" He rubbed his eyes, clearing his vision more.
No…Shippou! I'm sorry, I can't…I won't kill Inuyasha, not now.
…Fine, but soon. Soon we must make our move.
Shippou was scared. He looked up at what appeared to be Kagome, but…it couldn't have been her! In her place was a beautiful demon, the moonlight giving her a ghostly but beautiful glow. She had long and dark blood red hair, her eyes glowing light red in the dark. She had cherry red lips to accent her tall form, and a tail flickered behind her, colored the same as her hair.
Her arms reached out to him, and Shippou began to hesitantly walk to her, but he caught sight of her deadly claws, glowing a deadly red. He was about to run away, but he picked up her scent. Her rose-like smell was the same, although stronger than before. But then…this demon! It couldn't possibly be…!
"Shippou, it's me, Kagome," she cooed. "Don't be scared, I won't hurt you."
Calming down at the soothing words, Shippou smiled softly and ran up to her. "Are you going to leave me, Kagome?" he worried. "Have I been bad? I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! Stay, please!"
She smiled at him. "No, you haven't been bad, don't you worry. Would you like to come with me?"
"Yes, but…where are we going?"
Kagome smiled softly again. "You'll see, don't worry."
We should leave now. I can smell him and that slut. I want to kill them! But you're holding me back… We had better just leave now, since you won't let me free.
Yes…you're right.
"Come on, Shippou. We must leave now. Get on my shoulder and hold on."
Once he was firmly attached to her, Kagome took off with the wind in her hair. She felt free, for it had been a long time since she had been like this. Nothing could hold her down.
You like what you feel, don't you? Its power…its freedom!
Yes, I do. But…I feel stressed.
"Shippou, you up?" She looked down at him, hours after they had departed.
Aww, how cute! He's asleep! Kagome stopped her quick pace and laid her sleeping bag down on the ground floor. We'll rest for tonight. He's so tired… She sat on a tree branch after making sure the kitsune was comfortable, and she set up her CD player, turning it on and beginning to sing…
Well, I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you
Guess I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing How could this man I thought I knew I am a fighter and I
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're going round playing, the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to harm me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended to not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me!
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough…
