One Cruel World
Kagome and the rest of her friends walked through the forest following Inuyasha, with almost the whole Shikon Jewel completed; they couldn't stop and rest now. As the sun began to set behind the mountain peaks, they stopped to setup camp for the night. Sango and Kagome set off to find fire wood, while Miroku and Shippo set up the rest of the camp. When the girls returned, Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was missing.
"Where did Inuyasha go?" Kagome asked Miroku when she and Sango and finished stacking fire wood.
"I think he said that he was going hunting…" said Miroku cautiously, knowing where Inuyasha really was.
"Oh…" replied Kagome knowing that Inuyasha was not hunting.
As the sun set, Kagome began to prepare dinner.
~Later That Evening~
"I'm worried Miroku," said Sango.
"I know," replied Miroku wrapping his arm around her reassuringly, as her face flushed "I'm sure he is fine…" 'At least I hope is, for Kagome's sake.' He thought to himself.
"He's probably running after Kikyo," stated Shippo in a monotone. Sango sent him a stern look as they all visibly see Kagome flinch at his words.
"I… I-I, uh…. H-have to go to the bathroom," Kagome said hurriedly as she dashed into the woods.
It had been hours since she had last seen Inuyasha. As she walked aimlessly around in the forest looking for him, she felt this cold chill run up her spine that sent goose bumps up her arms. Then she saw them, the soul collectors.
After she followed them for a while, she found Inuyasha. The scene lay out before her was all too familiar. She knew all to well what Kikyo was trying to do. She was trying to bring him to hell with her. Kagome stood there motionless; gripped in fear. She couldn't watch; it was too much. All at once questions raced around inside her head. Had he really never lover her? Was it all a lie? What would she do now? Finally the weight of the situation was too much for her to handle. She broke down in tears and she couldn't see well, but she ran. She ran for all she was worth. The destination didn't matter now; she just had to get away.
