A tear ran down Kagome's pale face as she stopped running after what seemed like an hour, painful memories returning to her endlessly. She remembered back to what happened not long ago...
Flashback
Inuyasha stood up in front of the camp fire as his friends stuffed their faces full of the glorious food Kagome had brought from her time, slowly turning around towards the forest.
"Where you goin'?" asked Shippo, the cute little fox demon pup, looking up at the hanyo with his emerald green eyes.
"Just...Going for a walk," he explained simply. "I need some fresh air – probably shouldn't have eaten those last few bits of sushi."
Everyone nodded in agreement, still gobbling up their dinner. Inuyasha seemed happier than usual, and Miroku knew exactly why. He had sensed a strange aura, and when he saw how his friend was acting, he realised that it was Kikyo. However, the innocent little miko didn't notice this, so the monk kept quiet.
After half an hour or so, Kagome decided to go check on her secret crush.
The next thing she remembered was seeing Inuyasha and Kikyo in a tight embrace.
"I don't love Kagome... she's just a shard collector. I love you!" he had said sweetly, only to hear a branch snap under the teenage girl's feet.
"Crap...Kagome..." he started trying to explain but she had already started running.
When Sango saw her face, a wave of winter ran down her spine. The teen's cheeks were covered in tears, yet her eyes seemed to show no emotion. As if they were... hollow...
"Kagome, wait up!" Miroku yelled as a broken-hearted girl ran past all her friends. It didn't do anything. She kept on running.
'Who am I running from anyways?' she thought. 'Inuyasha? I mean, I'm not scared of him, I just...'
Suddenly, she was shocked to realise she felt an unfamiliar feeling...hatred.
End of flashback
Unexpectedly, her legs gave out beneath her, and everything faded to black.
