What luck(!)

Kagome sprinted past the trees, tears leaking down her cheeks.

"I'm such a fool! Of course he'd go back to her!" She thought sadly, the scene replaying in he head over and over. The way he held Kikyo and slagged Kagome off behind her back.

"I could never love that wench. You're the only one for me, Kikyo. She's a worse archer and fighter. Not to mention not as pretty as you. She's stupid if she thinks I could have feelings for her, the useless bitch."

Kagome gasped as the words replayed again. She paused in front of the bone eater's well, sobbing for a bit as she leaned against it.

"Why must this happen to me?" Kagome choked out, gripping the edge of the well. "I only want to be loved for me! Why must my heart hurt all the goddamn time?!" She finished off with a scream. She shook her head before jumping back into the portal.

However, the light seemed to be different. It was a blue colour, but a deep navy one and the shining sparkles of light surrounding her were glowing brighter. In her despair, the young miko didn't notice the change as she fell to her knees at the bottom. Kagome climbed out the ladder and hauled herself up and out. She blinked, gazing around her at the forest.

"Inuyasha's forest? But... I should be home. And why does it look different? It looks..."

"Younger..."

Kagome shook her head. She turned back to the well and leaped back in, only to just hit the dirt. She blinked in confusion.

"Eh?!" She cried. "No no no. This can't be happening, I have to get home!" She screamed in distress before getting out and jumping back in. She repeated this process a couple of times more before slumping in front of the well in defeat. "Great. Just great, I'm stuck here all on my own with no one to turn to." She muttered before getting up. Kagome moved away from the well, wiping her eyes. She was glad she was at least away from Inuyasha. That jerk.

"No, everything's going to be fine. Maybe it'll open up again later." Kagome thought positively. She moved through the trees silently, staring off into space. She stopped when she came across a half-conscious man with many wounds and blood soaking his clothing, leaning on the trunk of a tree. She gasped at the sight of a raccoon dog demon getting ready to feast upon the young man's flesh.

Kagome thanked the Lord for having her bow and arrows.

She notched an arrow into her bow and aimed it at the demon, glaring. Despite her heart still aching, she was willing to destroy this demon and save an innocent life.

"Hey, ugly!" Kagome yelled, gaining the attention of the demon and wounded man. Kagome infused her powers into the arrow before sending it flying. It pierced through its skull and the beast immediately disintegrated. Kagome lowered her arms before adjusting her backpack with her items and arrows before dashing over to the wounded person. He coughed up some blood and Kagome looked him over. "It's okay. The demon's dead." She reassured him before going to place her hands over his chest.

The man gave her a distrusting look. Kagome held her hands up to show she meant no harm, offering a small reassuring, kind smile.

"I'm not here to hurt you, trust me. I'm a miko, I want to heal you." She stated. He eyed her over before relaxing. Kagome rested her hands on his chest and started to mutter incantations, her hands glowing a bright blue along with the man's body. He seemed shocked at the warmth of her powers. It was pleasant.

The wounds slowly began to patch up and the blood cleared from the man's clothing. Once done, Kagome sighed in relief and pulled her hands to smile at the male only to gasp. He sat up and looked really sheepish.

"Thank you." He muttered, running a hand through his shaggy dark brown hair. He smiled at her.

This was Suikotsu. As in, Suikotsu of the Band of Seven! But it wad his good side. His doctor form.

Kagome sent the mercenary a smile of her own. He wasn't so bad like this so there was no reason to be hostile.

"You're welcome. I'm Kagome, and you are?" Kagome introduced, keeping in mind that this was in the past and he wouldn't have met her yet. This was easily discovered since he was definitely alive and there was no jewel shard in his neck. He examined her facial expression before frowning.

"Suikotsu. I'm sorry but are you all right, Lady Kagome? You look like you've been crying your eyes out." The kind side of the man asked. Kagome gasped before feeling a ripping at her heart when she remembered Inuyasha with Kikyo.

"I'm fine, Mr Suikotsu. Just..." She gave a pained smile. "It's just... It's nothing." Suikotsu looked at her with concern before slowly getting up, the futuristic miko following his lead. "Well, I'd best be going. Take care of yourself, Mr Suikotsu." Kagome turned away.

"You too, Lady Kagome." Suikotsu replied. They headed off in different directions silently.

Kagome wrapped her arms around her body unconsciously, bow resting on her shoulder. Was it really that easy to see that she was troubled? That she was upset? Kagome quickly shook her head and hoped to not bump into any of the Band of Seven for the remaining time she was there.
