Ch 1

Kagome was furious! Caught between screaming in anger and frustration or bursting into tears, she ran alone through the forest, her raven black hair streaming out behind her. Her mind was in a whirl after what she had just witnessed and a series of thoughts raced through her head. All of them centered on one demon; well half-demon anyway.

"Inu-yasha , you jerk! How dare you! After all we've been through, how could you do this to me again! I've traveled with you, I've hunted Shikon shards with you, I've fought demons with you, and you turn around and stab me in the back! Meeting with that stupid Kikyo again, acting all lovey-dovey again, and when I witness it again, not only do you say nothing to me but when I try to approach the subject you first try to change it and then avoid answering me all together. As if I wouldn't be able to tell you had seen Kikyo even if I hadn't witnessed it! You can never look me in the eye after you've seen her! I know you've chosen Kikyo but this is the last straw! Why do you do this to me! Well I've had it! I'm going home and even if you come after me you won't change my mind. INU-YASHA, YOU JERK!

Kagome collapses on the bank of a stream to rest, staring angrily into the water and fighting back tears. She wished she had the guts to tell Inu-yasha exactly what she felt, but nooooo all she could do was scream at him in her head. She hadn't even told him she was leaving. She had just snuck out when he had left their camp for a while to scout the area for dangers. She'd taken the coward's way out and she knew it. She even knew it wouldn't last. She couldn't stay away from Inu-yasha for long. She would miss him too much. She just couldn't stand the thought of where that conversation about Kikyo might have led. Inu-yasha would have demanded to know why she cared so much about it and, being the stubborn pig-head that he is, would have forced her to answer. Kagome would have been forced to either lie to him again, avoid the question again (both of which she hated doing) or tell him the truth (which she definitely could not do. Oh, WHY did she have to love him so much when it was so obvious he loved Kikyo! She'd seen the proof of it with her own eyes. Admitting her feelings to Inu-yasha at this point would only embarrass and hurt both of them, her most of all.

Frustrated, hurt, and confused Kagome lay on her stomach by the stream and put her head on her arms. She doesn't notice the shadow of something coming closer and closer to her by the second, and by the time she feels the touch on her arm and turns around, all she has time for is a long, loud scream, before everything goes black!
