Trust N Betrayal

By:AnimeGurl4Life18

Chapter1: chills

As she ran through the thick brush of the forest floor her mind went blank. All she could ask herself was: "What am I running from?" She had no clue but she knew that if she stopped 'he' would catch her for sure...the problem was...who was 'he'? She could feel the warm summer air hit her face, and as she glanced back behind her she saw a shadowy figure running after her. As she was looking back she tripped over a root in the ground.

"My ankle, oh god not now!" She yelled from the throbbing pain that took over her ankle.
She backed up towards a tree and watched as the figure got closer and closer. The figure stepped into the moonlight that shown through the trees. His fangs bared as a small growl came from his mouth, his glorious silver hair was flowing with the wind, and his red eyes glared down upon her.

"Kagome..." He said in a low growl. "This is for your betrayal, you shouldn't have betrayed me!"

Kagome was stunned. "What! I..Inuyasha...what'd I do?"

There was no reply. Inuyasha grabbed her arm and yanked her up with so much force she thought her arm was gonna rip off, his razor sharp nails dug into her skin and blood was dripping from her arm.

"Let me go!" Kagome screamed pleadingly.

Suddenly Kagome was shook awake. She opened her eyes slightly, it was still dark, with the open sky above her filled with sparkling stars. She looked around and saw lnuyasha sitting next to her just looking at her. She flinched, not yet feeling awake.

"Don't hurt me!" She yelled closing her eyes tightly.

His golden eyes widened until his pupil was so small you could barely even tell it was there.

"K...Kagome?" His voice had no emotion to it.

Suddenly Kagome noticed that it was just a dream.

"I'm sorry lnuyasha...l just had...a bad dream..." She managed to mumble.

Inuyasha just starred at her saying nothing, then he stood and walked off into the surrounding forest. Kagome stood up but she fell back down in pain. She held her ankle.

"lf it was a dream...why is my ankle in so much pain?" She thought to herself.

She looked at her bag sitting next to her sleeping bag, and got the wrapping for sprains and other injuries out of it and wrapped it around her ankle, while she was doing this she saw tricklets of blood on her arm. She rolled up her white sleeve and looked at it, they were claw marks.

"Whats going on here?!" She said to herself.

She looked around the small camp to see Sango sleeping in a sleeping bag next to her own, Miroku sleeping on the other side of the dim fire, and Shippo curled up to Kirara at the foot of Sango's sleeping bag. Kagome slowly stood up and limped into the forest after Inuyasha. She walked for what seemed like 10 minutes and finally reached the end of the forest and reached the edge of a grassy cliff where lnuyasha was sitting looking at the stars. She limped up to him and sat down slowly, trying not to hurt her foot. She looked at him, he seemed to be in a 'deep' mode.

"K-Kagome, do you think l would really hurt you?" Inuyasha said softly.

"No lnuyasha, l told you l just had a bad dream, thats all."

Inuyasha let a sigh of relief off his chest.

"Was it me that hurt you? In your dream I mean."

"I don't know who it was." She lied. "I was just running through a forest and fell and someone grabbed my arm and yanked me up. Thats all, just a bad dream."

"How long?" Inuyasha asked.

"What do you mean 'how long?'"

"How long are you gonna stay here...in the fuedal era?"

"I don't know. I want to stay for a long time, or at least when the jewel is finished, visit often. I wouldn't just forget you guys like that." She said. It wasn't that she 'wouldn't forget them', but she 'couldn't forget them'.

"Come on. You need to get some sleep for tommarow." Inuyasha said standing up and lending a hand to Kagome.

She looked at him then his hand, but reluctantly grabbed his hand and stood up. She walked beside him, but the pain in her ankle got the best of her, and she almost fell if Inuyasha didn't catch her.

"Are you hurt?" He asked worridly.

"My ankle, it hurts."

"Get on." Inuyasha said as he knelt down.

Kagome got on his back, she put her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist. He grabbed her foot.

"Ouch! Watch the foot please."

"Shut up. I'm the one trying to help you out!" Inuyasha gripped back.

They were back to their usual selves, now bickering at one another. Inuyasha hurried back to the camp now tired of Kagome's company...or was he, he yearned for just a moment alone with Kagome, but everytime he got that chance he always said the wrong things.

When they got back to the camp Inuyasha gentley sat Kagome down on her sleeping bag, then went up in a nearby tree and fell asleep (something he did rarely). Kagome soon fell asleep, though she was scared that the dream would come back to her...it didn't.

The next morning as always Kagome was the last one up, and Sango had to wake her.

"Kagome, wake up, its time to get ready to go." Sango said sweetly, who had been up for an hour now.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes adjusting to the sunlight beaming down through the trees. She sat up and looked around, Miroku and Inuyasha were gone, someone had already rolled up the sleeping bags and put them in Kagome's bag, Shippo and Kirara were running around chasing eachother.

"Where is Miroku and Inuyasha, Sango?" Kagome said softly.

"They went to look ahead of us and see which direction we should take." Said Sango as she went back to her task dousing the fire from the morning.

"Oh...Well anything we need before we set off?"

"No I don't think so, Shippo took the liberty of refiling the water bottles this morning, so-" Sango was cut off by Miroku's voice.

"We're heading back to Kaede's village," Said the monk. "Inuyasha said we might as well because we have no leads, and maybe we'll hear something in the village."

"Wow, Inuyasha actually said that?" Sango replied sarcastically.

Inuyasha had just walked into the small clearing that they had camped last night.

"Yeah I did say that." He said flatly. "Are you all ready to go? It shouldn't take long getting back, we should be there by nightfall."

"Yeah I think we're pretty much ready." Said Kagome.

She slowly stood trying to balance her weight off of her left foot, she bent and rolled up her sleeping bag and put it in her bag. Then put her bag over her shoulders, she almost fell from the weight and leaning on one foot wasn't helping.

"Kirara come on its time to go now." Sango said.

Kirara transformed into her demon form and Sango, Shippo, and Miroku all climbed on her back.

"Ready Kagome?" Inuyasha said kneeling down.

"Yeah."

Kagome climbed on Inuyasha's back, Inuyasha softly took her foot (being as it was he didn't want to argue this early in the morning), and they all took off.

The trip back to Kaede's village was boring and uneventful, no demons or stoping, they barely even spoke to one-another. It was well passed nightfall when they got to the small village. Everyone crowded into Kaede's hut, to find Kaede sitting by the fire pit in the middle of her hut.

"Ah, ye are all back so soon?" Kaede said as everyone joined her around the fire.

"No leads to go on, we figured that one of the villagers might have heard something, so we just came back." Miroku was the first to speak.

"Ah well, I have heard not a word of a shard or Naraku. Ye all are alright?"

"I seemed to have twisted my ankle, but other than that I think we are pretty much okay, except we've been traveling all day without rest."

"Well ye all should get some rest, oh and help ye selves to the stew," Kaede said refering to the black pot boiling over the fire pit. "maybe tomarrow shall be more helpful in ye search. In the meantime, Kagome let me take a look at ye ankle."

Everyone got a bowl of the stew Kaede made, even Inuyasha was hungry enough to eat it. While Kagome and Kaede dissapeared into the back of Kaede's hut and treated Kagome's ankle.

"This should subside the pain," Kaede said giving Kagome a cup of medical herbs in a liquid.

Kagome gave a discusted look at the cup but drank it anyway, since Kaede's remidies have always worked for her.

"But ye should find a sturdy stick to lean on as you walk."

Kagome nodded and went out with everyone else.

"I'm going out to find a walking stick. I'll be back." Kagome said walking out of the hut.

Not long after she had walked out, Inuyasha followed. Inuyasha looked around, the night was beautiful, not many things seemed this way to him except...Kagome. The air was not too warm but not cold at all.

Kagome was enjoying the night, she was lookin in the bushes for a sturdy stick she could use, she found one, it wasn't that good but it would do for the time being. She turned back towards the village when she was startled by Inuyasha standing right behind her.

She jumped. "Inuyasha don't scare me like that!" She yelled.

"Well I was just checking on ya, seeing as your foot is hurt and all, how would you protect yourself against a demon if it decided to attack!"

"You were worried." She said softly. "Sorry for yelling at you like that."

"You should be." He said stuck-up like.

"Why do you have to be so snoby I said I was sorry!"

"Why do you have to be reckless! Don't you ever think some of us would be worried about you going out in the forest injured?!"

"Don't try to change the subject. OH so you were worried."

"umm...no. I mean.." Inuyasha said blushing.

Kagome started walking deeper into the forest, Inuyasha walking right with her. Kagome suddenly stopped infront of certain tree, they both looked at it. The Goshinboku, where Inuyasha and Kagome first met.

"Do you ever think that this is how its meant to be? You know, me going back here to the past, and fighting by your side."

"I don't know, but it couldn't just be a coincidence."

"Do you like me Inuyasha? I mean do you ever see me as more than just a friend? I know its kind of forward, but its been on my mind for a long time, and I just had to let it out."

"..." Inuyasha was speechless as he just looked into her dark brown eyes. "Truthfully, yeah, all of the time. Why else would I get so mad and try to keep you away from that stupid wolf, or always worry for your safety. I...I love you to be honest." He said.

"I love you too, but I thought..."

"Kikyo." Inuyasha said. "Kikyo's time has been passed, I will always have love for Kikyo. But I love you."

Inuyasha put his hand on the side of Kagome's face, and slowly bent and kissed her passionately, as they both have always yearned for.

"In-Inuyasha." Kagome whispered.

That night they did not return to Kaede's hut, but instead they stayed at a hut that had been empty in the forest, that wasn't too far from the bone-eaters-well.

(And everyone knows what happens when a guy and a girl who like eachother does when they're alone, I'm not gonna go into detail, think of the childrens ears!)

After that, Kagome fell into a deep sleep, and Inuyasha actually slept.

She was just standing still in the middle of a dark forest it was night so far as she could tell, she looked around, Inuyasha wasn't there. What was going on?

"Hello! Is anyone there?" Kagome cried out.

There was no response. She walked through the forest, but it seemed to be like a labrynth, everywhere she turned was just forest nothing else. Suddenly, she saw someone move from the corner of her eye. She turned towards her right, there was no one. She turned around and there he was.

"Inuyasha? Don't scare me like that I told you." She said with a sigh of relief.

She looked up at him, his eyes were glowing red, she knew this was his demon form.

"I-In-Inuyasha?" She whispered.

He growled. "Kagome, die." He said emotionless, as he swiped at her with his claws.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said ducking.

She ran away, not looking back.

"Take me out of here!" She yelled as tears streaked down her cheeks.

Suddenly a bow and a quiver of arrows were laying on the side of a tree as if they were put there for her to kill Inuyasha with. She stopped and looked at them blankly. Inuyasha was just behind her, she knew that when he put the effort into it that he could have got her before she even ran. She picked up the bow and quiver resistantly. She looked around no one was there, Inuyasha had disappeared, she put an arrow in the bow and walked around in a circle cautiously. Kagome quickly caught a glimpse of red in the trees.

Inuyasha jumped down and faced Kagome. He tried to walk towards her, she backed up raising her arrow.

"You'd better kill me if you want to live!" He yelled.

He made a move towards her, she shook her head and cried.

"I don't want to do this! Inuyasha!" tears streamed down her cheeks. "How could you betray me Inuyasha!"

Just then Inuyasha realized how much she sounded like Kikyo all those years ago. But he shook it off, and went for the kill. Kagome didn't have what it took to shoot the arrow at Inuyasha, she just dropped it and let him come at her. She squinted her eyes closed for the pain that was about to take over her body. There was nothing, nothing at all. She opened her eyes to find she was not in the forest anymore, but she was surrounded by nothing but darkness, floating.

"What is going on here?!" She yelled.

No reply, she didn't really think there was going to be. Then she saw something she didn't want to. Out of the darkness a man went up to her, the man looked sinister, just by looking at him, Kagome knew who this was she had seen him many times before. But what did he want now, with her? And why was he in her dreams?

"Kagome so very nice to see you." Naraku said with a evil grin.

"Shut up! What do ya want?!"

"Nothing I just thought I'd visit you in your dreams, sorry but now you must wake up!"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, she was in the small hut her and Inuyasha had stayed in last night. The light shown in heavily through the cracks of the roof. She looked around Inuyasha was already up, he must have headed back to the village.

"My head hurts." She said putting her hand on her head. "Was it just a dream...Naraku...he was there."

She shook it off, and got dressed. She got her walking stick that she had found in the forest and walked out the door. Inuyasha was still no where so she just walked to the village. On the way there her stomache growled, she just noticed she hadn't ate anything since two nights ago. The walk through the forest was quite relaxing, the light shown in just the right spots to bring out the forests natural colors. She had finally made it to the village, it was beautiful in the sunlight, especially standing on a hill she stayed there for a second watching as the adults went about their daily tasks and the children played. She walked into the village and saw Shippo playing with some other children.

"Kagome!" Said the young fox as he ran over to Kagome embreacing her. "I thought you had went back to your world?"

"Umm..not exactly."

"Well I'm just glad that you're back now. The others are talking with Kaede in her hut." He said running off to play ball once more.

Kagome smiled, she loved seeing Shippo playing, he looked so happy. Kagome walked off taking one last look at Shippo, she had walked by the shrine that she lives in in her time, she walked into the hut at the foot of the shrine. Kaede was sitting at one end of the doused fire pit, and Sango and Miroku were sitting on the other end.

"Kagome are ye alright? You and Inuyasha never came back last night."

"Inuyasha, has he been back this morning?" Kagome asked.

"No, I haven't seen him at all. We thought he was with you."

"He was, but he just left when I was sleeping I guess. But its weird that he could just disappear."

"Don't you think he would have at least told someone he was leaving."

Kagome's stomache growled loudly, she blushed.

"I haven't ate anything in two days, he'll show up somewhere." Kagome said as she got one of the fish that Kaede had cooked for breakfast.

Later, it was getting pretty dark, Kagome waited at the edge of the village. Inuyasha still had not shown up anywhere. She went back into Kaede's hut.

"I'm going into the forest, I'll be back in a little while." Kagome said leaving not waiting for a reply.
