Chapter 1

Kagome sat on the edge of the well, looking up at the clouds drifting by. She wondered where everyone was. Inuyasha would usually be waiting for her, especially if she was gone longer than she was supposed to be. Whatever she thought, I'll just walk down to Kaede's hut by myself.

Kagome sat up and started to walk down the rocky path with her heavy bag draped over her shoulder. If Inuyasha were here, he'd probably carry it for me. What's everyone up to that they forgot all about me? She signed. I bet I'm annoying to them. They would probably already have killed Naraku if they hadn't had to wait for me. Maybe I should just have Kikyo take the jewel shards and help Inuyasha. They could work together better, but what about me? Maybe I'm just being selfish. I'm slowing them all down and bringing back memories to Inuyasha. But then again, I can't help it I look like Kikyo. It's not my fault. Kagome signed again and put her bag down to sit. Rubbing her shoulder where her bag was she thought why do I have to feel this way about Inuyasha. It'll never work out, and I cannot guarantee that he feels the same way about me. When he looks at me, I feel like he's just looking through me to Kikyo, and not at me.

Kagome sat up again and shifted her bag to her other shoulder. She watched her feet so she would not trip over any of the rocks on the rest of the way to Kaede's hut. Kagome had almost reached her destination when she bumped into a familiar figure.

"Kaede!" Kagome grabbed onto the old woman's shoulders and balanced her self. A smile quickly turned to a frown as Kagome looked up at her face. " What happened!" The old woman's face was smeared with blood and her sleeve was ripped off.

"Child, hurry! Demons are attacking the village!" Kaede cried.

"But you're hurt! Let me help you!"

"It is not my blood, hurry, get your arrows and help those in danger!" Kaede insisted.

Kagome nodded unsurely and let got of the old woman. She ran into the hut and grabbed a bow and a few arrows, leaving her bag behind. Kagome ran back outside with her bow and arrows in hand. Where's Inuyasha? Where is everyone? I've never battled a group of demons all by myself! What am I supposed to do? She was flooded in panic and felt hopeless. Then she thought about the people being hurt and in danger. I have to be brave, for them, and for me.

Kagome fired aimlessly at the first demon she spotted. It was a large worm-like creature that was crawling on rooftops and slithering down the chimney of a very unlucky family. There had to be at least 20 of them. Kagome shot two arrows at a creature and both missed. She fired another arrow and this time it hit the creature near the middle of it's body, although it did not strike it down. At this rate I'll never be able to help theses people. Kagome took her last arrow and aimed it at the creature's head. She took a few seconds to make sure her aim was true before she fired the arrow. It hit the demon between the eyes and it feel down of the rooftop and onto the ground with a thump. Ok, well, one down still a lot more to go! I need a better plan than this! What should I do! Oh God! What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do…?

Kagome slowly aroused from her sleep on the rocky path. Apparently, she had fallen asleep when she sat down to rest. Oh thank God it was only a dream. I wonder what I would do if that had really happened. Well, if that really happened Inuyasha would be there, I'm sure. Kagome started to walk down the path and her stride quickly turned into a jog. I better hurry; I've already delayed an hour or two while I was asleep. Kagome ran the rest of the way to Kaede's hut. Once she got there she found her bike leaning on the side of the hut. Ok. I know I didn't put it there. I bet Inuyasha put it there just to annoy me. Once I find him I'm gonna give him the sitting of his life! Kagome walked around the corner and walked inside the hut. She put her bag down near the door.

"Hey, anyone here? Kaede? Inuyasha?" Kagome shrugged. Hmm? Where are they? What's going on? Then Kagome realized she hadn't seen a single person since she arrived. What kind of sick joke is this? Did EVERYONE ditch me?

Kagome ran back outside and scanned her surroundings. She spotted a squirrel running up a tree and a few horses tied up in someone's yard. Then she heard a sound. She couldn't identify it at first and thought it was her imagination, but she heard it again. It sounded like music. What the hell? Kagome followed the sound with her bow and arrow in hand, so she'd be ready if anything attacked her. It started to be louder as she followed it into the center of the village. It is music…but why…. Kagome was lead to a house in the center of the village. It was probably the oldest one there. Kagome walked up to the side of the house and peeped through the window. Suddenly the music was gone. Ok…that was strange…

Inuyasha sat in a tree, observing the lake stretched out in front of him. He wondered what everyone was doing? He wondered why everyone would want to help them. What did they gain? And when was Kagome coming? I bet she won't even come until I come and get her. She's three days late now. I wonder how long it will take her to realize that? I'm not coming to get her until she learns to come back on her own! Inuyasha jumped off the branch he was sitting on and started to walk back to the village. When I get there, she'd better be there!

Kagome was in her room, lying on her bed. I wonder where everyone else is. What was that music that I heard? Kagome thought about why she left. Why would everyone just go somewhere and forget to get me? What, am I not important enough to let me know where everyone is when I come back! Kagome lay in her bed a few more minutes until her mom called her downstairs.

"Kagome, phone!"

Kagome got out of bed reluctantly and followed her mom's commands to the kitchen.

"Honey, it's Hojo."

"Oh." Kagome said, "O…k."

"Here." Mrs. Higurashi gave Kagome the phone and walked off, probably to go to the other phone so she could hear Kagome's conversation.

"Hello?" Kagome asked.

"Hi."

"Umm…hi. What's up?"

"Hey, I was wondering how are you feeling?"

"Fine."

"So… are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I just wanted to know if you'd want to go to the dance with me tomorrow."

"Umm… sure. Ok, great."

"Great! Alright, then I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

"B…ye."

Kagome handed her mom the receiver and ran up the stairs, going two steps at a time. She didn't really want to go… but what else is there for her to do to get Inuyasha off her mind? Also there's the fact that Hojo can't take a hint very well either.

Kagome went to the bathroom to take a shower and then she went straight to bed. She hadn't even done any of her homework but she didn't care. She just wanted to fall asleep and never have to wake up again.

Kagome woke up at around 7 and she was already late for school. Why didn't anyone wake me up? Shit. Kagome got out of bed slowly and put her feet on the ground.

"Cold!" Kagome cried out and retreated under her sheets. She reached her hand underneath her bed to find some slippers to wear. Once she had got out of bed, Kagome walked to open her curtains when she discovered it was snowing. A thick blanket of snow, about a foot deep, was covering the ground. Oh, I'm guessing school was cancelled. And that means the dance will be cancelled. Could my life get any better?

Kagome walked downstairs and sat down at the kitchen table. She turned on the radio to be sure there was no school. Surely, it was cancelled. Well, another day to rest. At least that's good news. But Inuyasha will probably come for me today. She yawned. I wonder where my family went. Sota probably went out to play in the snow with the other kids in the neighborhood. Kagome walked over to the fridge where she spotted a note from her mom. Apparently, her mom and grandpa had gone over to see the neighbors for a few hours. Kagome looked at the note blankly for a few seconds before she opened the fridge for some breakfast.

Kagome took some cream cheese out of the fridge and some milk so she could have a bagel. She was looking out the window at the snow fall, eating her bagel, when she spotted a red flash outside. Inuyasha. Kagome quickly finished up her breakfast and put everything away. She ran upstairs to her room. He's here. Kagome saw Inuyasha climb in through her window.

"Kagome! You're four days late so I came to get you." Inuyasha stated.

"Hey! I did come back, but nobody was there! So I decide to stay in my time until someone came for me!" Kagome corrected.

"So you expect me to wait on you hand and foot? I don't think so! You could have waited for us to show up instead of just leaving! So don't blame me for not being there. I have other things to do you know other than just wait for you to come back!"

"I did wait! I waited until sunset and nobody was there so I came back!"

"Well, let's go now! You've already wasted enough time!" Inuyasha accused.

"Go ahead, just blame me! You make me so mad!"

"GOOD!"

Kagome had pulled her last nerve. "Inuyasha…." She said sweetly, "SIT!"

Inuyasha smashed into the ground. Bam!

Kagome leaned in closer to his face and whispered, "You wanna go, let's go."

Inuyasha started screaming. "BAKA! BAKA, BAKA, BAKA!"

"SIT!"

"JUST WAIT TILL I GET THESE BEADS OFF! "

"Well… not in MY lifetime buddy!"

"Grr…" Inuyasha growled.

"Well… let's go! Or do you want another S.I.T?"

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY HERE? YOU'LL BE MORE USEFUL!"

Kagome's anger suddenly faded and was replaced by surprise. Does he really mean that? Inuyasha realized his immediate mistake and felt guilty about causing the betrayed look on Kagome's face. They stood in silence until he put his arm around her. Kagome jumped at his touch.

"Let's go." Inuyasha took Kagome's bag and led her away to the well. I didn't mean that Kagome. I'm sorry. I just wish I could say that to you.

Kagome and Inuyasha sat across from each other, eating lunch. It was a nice day so they had decided to have a picnic. The sky was clear, the sun was bright and there was a small breezing rushing through the clearing that made the day kind of refreshing.

They ate in silence. Kagome was looking up at the clouds but Inuyasha was unintentionally staring at Kagome. He was observing her for almost the entire time and Kagome had not yet caught on to his staring. What is this feeling I'm getting around her? It feels like the feeling I had for Kikyo but not quite the same. Could it be I'm in love with Kagome, not just Kikyo's reincarnation?

Kagome finally caught him out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head to look at him and they locked gazes for a few seconds. He's thinking about Kikyo again… Kagome felt tears well up in her eyes but she just pushed them back. I'm not going to cry over someone who will not cry over me. And with that, she looked away back up to the clouds. Inuyasha took it the wrong way, thinking she was still mad. He knew she cared about him but to what extent?

Inuyasha shoved the rest of his ramen into his mouth before he moved on to his next one. He saw Kagome sit up and fix her skirt. She started to walk away.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I left something in my time. It'll be right back, it'll only take me a minute."

"Ok, that's all you had to say instead of just walking off."

"Well, I'm sorry. I just need to get something. I'll be right back. Since we're going to be here a few hours I might as well do some homework."

"Well go now so you'll be back sooner!"

Kagome nodded and jumped into the well. She had to get her organizer and some of her notes that she had left at home. Inuyasha had rushed her so much to leave that she forgot to bring them. Kagome didn't even leave a note! How was her family supposed to know where she was? Kagome climbed out of the well and ran to the main shrine. She forgot about the weather here back in Inuyasha's time. It seemed to be getting worse.

Kagome found her notes and went downstairs to leave a message on the answering machine. Before she left, she called Hojo to tell him she didn't feel good and that she wouldn't be able to go out with him anytime soon. It didn't surprise him. Kagome arrived back in Inuyasha's time within five minutes.

Kagome climbed out of the well and looked around for Inuyasha. She didn't see him anywhere. Leave it up to him to disappear on me. Kagome set her books down and set off to find Inuyasha. Where the hell could he be? Kagome was about to run into the forest when she felt a stab in her back as if she was shot and fell to her knees in pain. Wha… She put her hand on her back but didn't feel any wounds or see anyone around who could've attacked her. What's going on? Kagome tried to stand but could not lift herself up. Oh God! I'm paralyzed!
