When life seems to only throw us in the wrong direction, we tend to run from the darkness. But we all soon realize that there has to be an alternative for our actions. In Kagome's case, what happens when she finally comes to conclusion that she can't run anymore? Is there anywhere left to go? A certain hanyou reminds her that in every darkness there is a light. And in every run-able path, there is always a walk-able way.

Chapter One:

A Whispered Promise

The beach felt clammy and the bright stars took on a wintry stare while she experienced an aloneness that was eerie and intense. Her breath came in painful gasps as her face was whipped with the ocean's breeze.

Tactfully, she tried to push herself up but her shoes became leaded weights. The salty wind caressed her cheek and gently ran its powerful fingers through her raven hair. Away, that's all the mattered now. Just too simply get away.

Scoffing inwardly at her flaw full attempts, she collapsed back to the sand with a gentle thud. The grizzled clouds drowned the sky as fatigue collided and assaulted her small body.

'I'm so…tired…'

Closing her violet eyes, sleep powerfully cascaded over her body. Just like the water that cascaded over the rigid rocks, her numb dismal body.

And silence once again consumed the beach.

Her small frame lying dormant, her mind surrendering to the darkness.

The emerald trees bended and groaned in despair. The stiffening air was suffocating as it gloomily hung in the sky.

Golden eyes quickly flickered with emotion.

'Something feels…missing…gone…'

A sharp gasp and a muttered string of curses, Inuyasha soared through the trees. Something twanged at his heart, tore at his soul. Something indeed felt gravely wrong. The lush forest died down to silence.

No birds sang its love song; no trees whispered their old knowledge, no animals dared to stir.

Inuyasha let out a small grunt as he pushed his weight off of the tree tops and back into the air; his silver hair flowing behind him. His ears tweaked this way and that, something was out of place. But he couldn't exactly lay his finger on it.

Fear etched across his emotions as one thought came to mind.

'No…it…it can't be. No. Inuyasha, snap out of it.'

Shaking his head, he pushed aside his thoughts and continued his way to gentle sound of water.

'Come to me…'

'Who…who are you?'

'Come to me, my love.'

'No…who…who are you!'

'Stop resisting, come to my world. Drown in my realm of darkness. Bask in the pleasure of your tortured soul.'

'…No… N…No…'

'Come to me!'

'Please stop!'

'Kagome, give into your desires.'

With a soft moan of pain, the figure on the beach stopped breathing.

The luminous ivory moon shone with brilliance, lighting the way of those in need. His golden eyes quickly scanned the smiling face of the light, his body merging with the silhouetted shadows of the trees.

As if he could taste it, the salt that lingered in the air assaulted his nose and bit at his nose. Causing him to grumble and slow down his pace.

Sweeping his orbs across the glistening sea, a crumpled heap lay in the sand. Fear once more crossed his features as a familiar scent of wild-flowers and vanilla mingled together and crashed into his senses.

His heart pounding with the waves, roaring and relentless, his breath became staggered as he neared the body. Raven hair was a skewed around a small frame, pale skin dancing in the moon-light.

Inuyasha widened his eyes as he studied the whitened face lying before him. She wasn't breathing, he realized while he held his breath.

Shaking his head, his body went numb, losing all feelings.

'No…'

"Kagome…"

DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Inuyasha and co., unfortunately. Alas, maybe, just maybe, I'm related to Rumiko Takahashi and get them as a well-profound birthday present. But, only in my dreams will that ever happen. I would love to thank Rumiko though, for giving me her vivid characters to plot evil things with.
