I do not own the character's in this story. The poem is called Invictus and is by William Ernest Henley. I do not own the poem.
Chapter 1
Out of the night that covers me
Kagome rushed through the forest, trying to outrun Naraku's latest demon, Inu-Yasha followed close behind.
Black as the Pit from Pole to Pole
The moon was covered by clouds that night and it was difficult to see, Kagome tripped over a root sticking up. Inu-Yasha picked her up and kept on running.
I thank whatever gods maybe
The demon was getting closer. Inu-Yasha knew that he would have to face it. He set Kagome down and turned around, withdrawing his Tetsusaiga. Kagome took out an arrow and fitted it into her bow, ready to face whatever it is.
For my unconquerable soul

Hey, I got the idea for this story in my English class; we are supposed to memorize this poem in class. It gave me the idea to write a story. There are four stanzas in the poem, so I thought that I'd do a chapter for each stanza, and that means four really really short chapters.
But before I start on the others, I'd like a small favor. I need 5 reviews for this chapter. (Not from the same person though! -) after 5 reviews, I will finish the second chapter and post the next one
R&R!
