It was another beautiful day in feudal Japan, Kagome and her friends were searching for a place to camp for the night. When they found a clearing and set up camp the sun had begun to set. The group was settled around the fire, Shippo was asleep in Kagome's lap, Sango was sitting next to Miroku, and Inuyasha was leaning against a nearby tree. They were about to retire for the night when two of Kikyo's soul collectors flew into their and stopped in front of Inuyasha. A moment later they flew off and Inuyasha followed them. Kagome and the others knew he was going to see the dead priestess and Kagome was hurt, that he would still choose that clay pot over her. She waited for him to return long after the others went to sleep. When he finally came back he pulled her aside saying he had something important to tell her, "Kagome…..I'm sorry but I'm in love with Kikyo and I've asked her to be my mate." Tears welled up in Kagome's eyes as she listened to him. "I know you might have had feelings for me but I don't feel the same about you…..after Naraku is killed, I will follow Kikyo into hell" Kagome's heart shattered and she did the only thing she could think of, she ran. Inuyasha tried to follow and when she noticed him chasing her she yelled "INUYASHA SIT" and sent him crashing into the dirt. Tears blurred her vision and she had no idea where she was going. She tripped and fell to the ground hitting her head hard. The last thing she remembered was a tall figure coming towards her then everything went black.
