"Kagome run!" he yelled. She turned around just in time to see them right behind her; they were gaining on her. The demon hunters were gaining on her and fast.
"Why are they after me?" she thought to herself. She just assumed they were going to kill her for associating with a half-demon. Why sent them? Where did they come from? She didn't know; she just kept on running, not looking back. She couldn't make out what they were saying, only certain words. They said once they got her they would and that was all she heard. She was afraid to hear what they had in store for her once they got a hold of her. She hated herself; if she hadn't spilled right when she shot the arrow Inuyasha and the others would be free from the cage they were hanging in. Inuyasha's voice kept getting fainter and fainter, until she could no longer hear him. She knew this was the end for her, no chance of being saved. She didn't know whether or not she should give up or keep running. It seemed she was running for miles and it didn't seem like the hunters would give up; they were determined to get her. She kept running and running because she knew it must be better than what they would do to her. Would they kill her, would they rape her, would they kill the others? She didn't know and she didn't look forward to waiting and finding out.
She felt the sweat dripping down the back of her neck and she was finding it harder and harder to breathe. She knew she wouldn't be able to endure it much longer. She started to recognize where she was, she had been there once before when they were searching for a piece of the jewel. She was dreading what was not so far in the distance ahead of her. She knew they would catch her if she didn't change her direction, but the trees were too thick to turn and head another way. A cliff was coming up somewhere soon and she knew if she didn't turn fast they would either catch her or she would fall to her death. She felt like she was dying, this was the end of her. She wished she had said good bye to Inuyasha and had told him that he loved him before it was too late. She regretted it.
"Inuyasha I love you," she yelled even though she knew he couldn't hear her. He could be miles away dead by now, and she missed him dearly. She wished she could touch him, hold him, and tell him she loved him. Tears ran down her face and she threw herself down on the ground.
"I love you Inuyasha!" she screamed. She felt them grab her, but she didn't care. Something inside told her that Inuyasha was killed and without him she didn't want to live anymore. They picked her up and carried her, saying nothing. They weren't killing her, why was this? She didn't know what they were going to do with her. She wasn't scared though. She kept crying and screaming and it seemed everything around her was spinning in circles; she was truly losing her mind. She could hear Inuyasha in the back of her mind telling her not to give up. She knew he couldn't be dead; he was somewhere. Was he following them? Would he rescue her like he did many times before? He better hurry up and do it then before she was dead. They kept carrying her farther and farther into the deep forest, turning so often so she lost direction of where Inuyasha and the others were last seen. At this rate, she thought she would never see any of them again. She heard a sound behind them; a most familiar sound. She knew exactly what it was.
