Disclamer: I don't own Inuyasha. Is that plain enough?
A/N: This is a little piece that poppied into my head just now, so don't blame me. Hmm... This might just turn intoa longer story, or longer one shot anyway. If I spelled Sesshomaru's name wrong, let me know. Sorry about that if I did. Enjoy! (Depending on reviews, I may or may not attempt to make it longer. So please review!)
Kagome jumped into the well, ignoring Inuyasha's angry yells behind her. As she landed in her shed, she stuck out her tongue at where the hanyou would have been. Then, looking at her watch, she twitched and swung out of the well, racing for school.
"Crap! The make up test! Ah, damn it!" People walking calmly down the street stared as she whipped by, intent on making it. If Inuyasha had made her late… Panting heavily she slid into the doorway as the teacher started to read the directions. Apologizing, she walked quickly to her desk, accepting the test and propping her head on a hand as the teacher started to drone. Running here had made her so tired… Her eyes slowly fell closed, a gray fog rolling in to obscure everything.
With a start Kagome jerked her head up, black ears flicking automatically forwards and back. Then, realization dawning on her, she looked down again at the arrow pinning her to the tree. It had been a dream, all of it. To taunt her with the thought of freedom, of another life which she longed for… Her fingers flexed, claws extending as she tried to move. Nothing. Then a movement caught her eye and she looked up, blue eyes searching the forest for whoever had moved.
A human with silver hair and gold eyes stared at her, frowning, until crashing noises came from the brush behind him. He spun around as Mistress Centipede rose on her many legs, maw opening as she lunged for him. Kagome stared, hope filling her long unbeating heart.
If this was real, then maybe…
"Inuyasha!" She shouted, and he turned to her with a startled look.
A second chance, after Sesshomaru, for her.
There is a god, Kagome decided, as he backed into her haori covered form and reached up without looking, grasping the shaft and pulling.
And this time, she could make it right. She fell lightly to her feet, claws springing out, going into a crouch before launching herself, ripping through one of Mistress's Centipede's arms and landing. This time, she would make things right.
