Chapter One

It Is Finished

"So, it is finished."

Sesshomaru grinded his teeth in pain, as he rose off of one knee and began to walk away. The fight against his worst enemy was finally over. He could go back to his normal life… which was? Well, the point was that Naraku was now dead, and his reign of terror had been terminated. No one left the battlefield without serious injuries that day. Not even the great demon lord of the West. Probably the most mortifying thing of all was that he had lost… his tail. Sure it would grow back, but the pain and shame of it all wouldn't ever go away. He had also sustained several injuries to his body. When he transformed into his yukai state he was, needless to say, a much bigger target. He was sliced all over his body and his limbs were bleeding profusely.

Inuyasha choked on some of the blood that slowly began to fill his torn lungs. He had been injured beyond what he had expected. Truth be told he didn't know if he would make it. Only one thing ever kept him going at a time like this… and that was she; Kagome, the one who always stood by his side no matter what… but right now at the end, she was nowhere to be seen. Inuyasha's heart stopped as he surveyed the complete destruction that lay before him, searching for any movement or any signs of life. He hadn't seen her in quite some time now and he was worried beyond reason.

Kagome's head hurt like hell. She felt as though her brain was about to combust. Through the immense agony she still managed to gradually sit up on the ground. Well that wasn't such a good idea because once she did it she got dazed and fell straight back down. Awaiting more pain she held her breath. The ground never came… Sango ran up behind her and pulled her back up. Kagome was now being cradled in her friend's arms as she opened her eyes. Sango looked down as she saw the pain and anguish on her best friend's face as she tried to speak. Breathing heavily Kagome managed to utter out a few words,

"Inu-Inuyasha… where.. is he?"

"I am not sure Kagome, but don't worry I'm sure he is okay."

Kagome smiled half-heartedly as her friend tried to comfort her.

"How…is Miroku?"

Sango glance over at the monk with grief, and regret in her eyes.

"I…I don't know. He hasn't moved in over an hour." Sango's voice trailed off with every word that came out of her mouth.

Kagome lay back on the ground as pain rushed her body. she needed to find Inuyasha, and she wasnt going to let anything stop her. with the help of Sango the girl managed to get to her feet. With the help of a stick, that she used as a cane, Kagome tried to make it back to the battlefield. She hoped with all her heart, that Inuyasha would still be there. She prayed that he would be okay. She wouldnt know what to do with herself if he didnt make it through this battle. No. She couldn't burden herself with such thoughts; she had to think positive, she needed to stay focused. She knew everything would be okay. after making it up a small hill, the weak girl collapsed to the ground and fell unconcious...

I know this was an incredibly short first chapter, but I promise that it gets much better, with more detail and longer chapters. I pretty sure all of my other chapters are at least twice, or three times this length. So please don't give up on in quite yet... give it a chance! PLEASE
