Chapter 1-The Sight Of Betrayal

The wind had begun to blow hard, and the tree's were barely visible in the dark night. A young girl ran through the forest, not really knowing where she was going, just trying to get away, fresh tears welling in her eyes. Kagome Higurashi ran and ran, not stopping even when her muscles where throbbing in her legs. All she could think about was the unbearable sight she had just witnessed.

Flashback

Inuyasha and the gang were settling down for the night. The camp fire had been put out and everyone was laying in their sleeping bags, quietly going to sleep.

Kagome laid there, at first just looking at the stars, but she turned on her side and closed her eyes, trying to get some sleep. She knew that Inuyasha was up in the tree probably sleeping by now. Her eyes closed and she was almost asleep when she heard a twig snapping nearby. She lay still, thinking Inuyasha would handle it. But he never hopped down from the tree. She looked up and to her surprise, he was gone.

She quickly climbed out of her sleeping bag and looked over the camp site. Everyone was sleeping and he was no where to be found.

'The river!' She thought silently.

She walked past Sango and Shippou's sleeping forms and towards the river. Once she got there, he wasn't there.

'Where did he go too?' She grumbled in her mind.

She turned and began to walk back to the camp site, but she heard soft voices. She followed her instincts and walked toward the sounds. She heard movement behind a tree and hid herself. Then she heard a deep male voice whispering to someone else.

'Inuyasha!'

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a female voice respond.

'No, not her.'

She slowly looked around the tree, making sure that she couldn't be seen. Her eyes instantly began to water when she saw the scene in front of her. Kikyo in Inuyasha's arms. Her mind went blank and she just stared at the couple. Inuyasha looked almost happy, as if he belonged with her, the same for Kikyo, she didn't look sad anymore.

Kagome's heart broke.

'I had actually believed that Inuyasha would ever love me. I'm so stupid!'

She continued to watch as the couple kissed. Finally she could take no more and walked away from them. She couldn't get the picture of them out of her mind, no matter how much she told herself that they belonged together. It hurt her to much to really think about it. She didn't want to be around any longer and decided to run.

End Flashback

Kagome shook her head in both anger and frustration, and continued to run. Her lungs felt like they were on fire and her muscles were screaming in protest for her to stop. She ignored all this and ran anyway. The wind grew stronger and her hair slapped against her skin, stinging her. Then unexpectedly, her foot caught on a loose tree root and she fell to the ground, cutting her palms and cheek. Her body burned so bad from the extra adrenaline and hard pounding of her muscles, all she could do was lay there and cry. Her mind wouldn't stop replaying the images of Kikyo and Inuyasha in her mind.

'I've lost him. I have lost him forever. He will never really love me like I love him. I don't know what to do!'

Kagome continued to think and soon she fell asleep on the forest floor.
