Playing Your Part: An Immortal Love
Chapter 1. The Real Inuyasha
By: AngelRainSD7

It was a cold, early morning as Inuyasha set out with Kagome and the others to further their exploration for the Shikon No Kakera. Little did they know that this morning wouldn't be a normal day of fighting youkai or playing around.

"Hey, Kagome! Why do people in your time always dress so funny?" Inuyasha was always curious about the weird way her friends and family looked. She looked really annoyed, but decided to humor him anyways.

"Well Inuyasha, people in my time dress the way they like and they wear what's available or they wear what they think is appealing to the opposite sex." Kagome replied in a half-hearted answer, she was expecting to get a rude comment from Inuyasha; he always had some thing mean to say. Instead of Inuyasha saying something Sango decided to talk, she hated it when Inuyasha was cruel to Kagome, would he ever get it?

"Kagome I never thought that in the future you could wear what you wanted. And what do you mean by "appealing to the opposite sex?"" Sango was able to spit it out before Inuyasha had the time to be stupid.

Kagome answered, thankful for having such a good friend, "Well things happen that you would never think possible. I meant that you would wear something nice or revealing for a guy that you might like."

The group continued on their path. It was now about mid-morning, an hour or two away from lunch, Kagome supposed that it would be about 10:00 in her world. The sky suddenly became extremely dark, to dark for it to have been clouds. Kagome was getting scared, she couldn't see or hear Inuyasha or anyone else. Even Shippo seamed to disappear although he was just on her shoulder. She was screaming for Inuyasha but no sound came out. A bright explosion of a flash of light hit and she blacked out. She heard the name "Shamura," it was repeated at least 5 times before she was fully unconscious.

As the sky went black Inuyasha searched desperately for Kagome, nothing mattered except for her, he had to find some way to save her. He soon had no visibility and his movements slowed. He couldn't spot Miroku, Shippo, or Sango. They didn't matter though he couldn't stop thinking about Kagome. He yelled for her, nothing came out. He wished he could have told her how he felt about her; he loved so much it hurt when he wasn't near her. He was lost in his thoughts when an explosion of light flashed about him. He repeatedly heard the name "Shamura," he was sure he would kick his ass in a matter of time. He finally surrendered into the darkness and lost consciousness.

The darkness passed within a matter of minutes. Sango finally saw Miroku and was glad to see that Shippo was there too. She was worried about Kagome and Inuyasha. About 50 meters away lay Inuyasha and Kagome was only about 10 meters farther. Relief went through her veins, but what could have happened to them?

"Houshi-sama, Shippo! Are you guys all right? Do you know happened?" Sango asked in a worried way. She was scared of what might have happened to Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Hey, Sango! We're good, no idea what happened though, do you think they're okay?" Miroku replied. He somehow always found a way to calm her. She caught a smile in his eye, was he telling her something?

"I hope so, Inuyasha has a strong body and Kagome is very determined. Let' go check it out." Sango told him calmly, she was like a duck on a pond. Calm on the outside, but on the inside her stomach was doing back flips over her ever-pounding heart. She soon knew about the twinkle in his eyes as she found his hand patting her butt.

Shippo watched as once again Sango's hand went hard and swift into Miroku's cheek. Denied. He was still shaking from the darkness. Shippo thought it would never end. He wanted and needed to hear kagome's sweet, protective voice. She was a mother to him. The group finally went to check the status of their friends. Shippo and Sango went to Kagome and Inuyasha was left to Miroku. Normally when Inuyasha wakes up he's in a bad mood, so Shippo and Sango learned to ignore these moments.

"Kagome, Kagome, open your eyes! Wake up!" Sango yelled to make sure she could hear. Inuyasha heard someone calling out Kagome's name. Was she all right, what happened in that darkness? He had to find her; he must protect her from Shamura. He opened his eyes to see Sango standing above him. " Kagome are you okay? How do you feel?" Sango cried out to her friend. Kagome? Why was Sango calling him Sango?

"Look Sango, I'm not Kagome, quit joking around, Baka!" Inuyasha stated in a huff, all confused, he wasn't Kagome. What was wrong?
